For lunch, I had noodles with braised pork. A spoonful of braised pork was poured on the hand-rolled noodles, and then some chili oil was added. It was very appetizing just by looking at it.

After Shen Man finished her meal, Gu Qinglin put a goose yellow scarf around her neck and found her a dress to wear.

"I'll take you out for a walk today, and we'll go to Grandpa's tomorrow. The two old men have been talking about seeing you."

"This time, several aunts and uncles should come."

"As for the gift, I have prepared it this morning. All you have to do is come with me tomorrow."

Shen Man was sitting in front of the dressing table combing her hair. When she heard this, her hands paused.

"Tell me first what's going on with grandpa and grandma, otherwise I won't know anything and it would be bad if I embarrass you."

Gu Qinglin smiled lightly, "Let it go, I won't."

"My grandpa and grandma are both retired university professors. One taught literature and the other taught dance. They are generally very gentle to the younger generation."

"As for the first and second uncles, they work at the Public Security Bureau and the department store respectively. They are the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau and the director of the department store. They may also go there tomorrow, but it's not certain. After all, they are very busy at work."

"But the first aunt and the second aunt will definitely come back to the old house to see you."

Shen Man knew before that Gu Qinglin had a good family background, but she never expected that almost all of his relatives were not simple people.

"By the way, didn't you say that you might meet one or two unpleasant people when you come back this time?"

Gu Qinglin nodded and said, "Grandpa once adopted a son. According to the generation hierarchy, we should call him Fourth Uncle."

"You are average in ability and not outstanding in any aspect, so Grandpa found you a job in the school library and wanted to introduce you to a partner."

"But my fourth uncle fell in love with a woman, now my fourth aunt. My grandparents didn't agree to this marriage at first, but my fourth uncle insisted and even broke off relations with my grandparents."

"Grandpa and grandma had no choice but to agree, but this fourth aunt is very troublesome."

"Originally our family had already separated, but we two insisted on living together with our grandparents. Basically, all the living expenses and other financial needs of our family of five are subsidized by the two old people."

"Later, my fourth uncle even quit his job at the school library. No one in the family had a job. They refused to work even when we found them jobs. They even asked the two parents for money every month to support the family."

"I think Auntie Si might feel uncomfortable when we go there this time."

Shen Man understood, she nodded and said, "Let it go, we are going to visit grandpa and grandma, not to visit others."

"Well, if she makes you angry tomorrow, you don't have to endure it. Just call me." Gu Qinglin raised his hand and rubbed her head.

Shen Man blinked and smiled, "By the way, where are we going to play today?"

"Walk around the neighborhood and take you to eat some delicious food."

There are some shops with excellent craftsmanship in the streets and alleys of Beijing, which are very suitable for visiting.

After walking around for a whole day, they didn't come back until it was dark.

On the way, Shen Man couldn't help licking her lips, still savoring the roast duck she had just eaten.

She never thought that in a meaningless alley, there would be such delicious roast duck. Just the smell would make her drool.

"How about we go eat there again before we leave?"

Gu Qinglin looked down at the man beside him and said, "Okay."

That roast duck restaurant is not ordinary. It is located in a lane. There is only one shop in the alley, but it is a state-owned store.

The supply is limited every day. We are lucky today and caught the last one.

The next day came in a flash.

Gao Fenglan originally wanted to accompany the couple back to the old house, but the hospital was too busy and she couldn't leave.

So only Gu Qinglin and Shen Man went together, both of them had their hands full of things, all of which were nutritional supplements for the old man.

Soon, we arrived at a house. After entering, the inside was not very spacious, but the various furnishings and layouts were very comfortable to look at, with a low-key and comfortable aesthetic.

As soon as I entered, a girl in her thirties or fours came out.

She saw that Gu Qinglin was somewhat interested. When she saw Shen Man standing next to Gu Qinglin, she inadvertently looked at her with some scrutiny, and then seemed to have come to some conclusion.

So he walked over and smiled, but his eyes were always on Shen Man, "Qinglin, this is your wife, right? What do her parents do?"

"She looks very special and pretty. Could she be the daughter of a leader in your army?"

Gu Qinglin frowned slightly. For this obviously probing question, he naturally knew why.

"Auntie, let me introduce you. This is my wife, Shen Man."

"Manman, this is Fourth Auntie."

Shen Man smiled politely, "Hello, Auntie."

Wang Shujuan went forward and held Shen Man's hand, "Manman, what does your family do? How did you and Qinglin know each other? Tell aunt."

Her daughter-in-law is a grain station worker, she is pretty, her family is an official, and she has some power.

I just don't know the background of Gao Fenglan's daughter-in-law, she has to find out clearly.

Shen Man was not stupid, so she knew that this was an attempt to inquire about her family background, and that the purpose was obviously bad.

She calmly pulled her hand out of Wang Shujuan's. "It's not that there's any background. It's just that our two families lived together in the army, and our parents happened to arrange a marriage for us."

Wang Shujuan's face froze. He was actually a member of the army. He looked very brave and not timid at all. His behavior was graceful and elegant. He was even better than her daughter-in-law.

It seems that Shen Man's father holds a high position. Gao Fenglan is really lucky to have such a good daughter-in-law.

Gu Qinglin took a step forward and blocked Wang Shujuan's sight. "Aunt, I'm going to take Manman to see Grandpa first."

After that, she took Shen Man into the house. When they were completely out of sight, she said to Shen Man, "That's how Aunt Si is. She likes to compare and think too much."

"But grandpa and grandma are the ones who make the decisions in this family, so you don't have to worry about the rest."

Shen Man nodded. She really didn't like dealing with this kind of people. It was too tiring to compare everywhere.

"Hey, old man, look who's back?" Mrs. Gu looked up and saw two figures. She became excited and patted Professor Gu who was reading a newspaper beside her.

Professor Gu put down the newspaper unconsciously, looked up, and smiled instantly, "Qinglin is back with his wife."
