Gu Xueqing quickly said beside her.
"Grandma, what Third Sister-in-law is talking about is hot pot."
The old lady smiled and clapped her hands.
"I know, but I don't know about mutton hotpot. Hey, if your third sister-in-law likes it, then we can eat it. But it's a bit troublesome to eat it at home. Let's go out and eat. The mutton hotpot in the alley ahead is delicious."
Gu Xueqin asked.
"Grandma, how did you know? I come to see you so often, but I didn't know there was a mutton hotpot restaurant in that alley?"
The aunt looked at her and smiled.
"You know what, it's an old shop."
Gu Guodong looked at the group of people at home, frowned, and suggested.
"Mom, why don't we go to the Jingcheng Restaurant? You see, there are quite a lot of us here, and they might not have enough space."
The old lady glared at him.
How could the old lady not know what her own son was thinking as soon as he opened his mouth?
"Don't worry, there aren't many people in this alley. No one knows a small leader like you."
In fact, to put it bluntly, Gu Guodong felt that it was a bit embarrassing for his family to go to a fly-in-the-alley restaurant. Since his daughter-in-law was visiting him for the first time, he had to go to a big restaurant.
But the old lady explained to Su Ying.
"That restaurant is very clean, old, and authentic. It's better than the Beijing Hotel."
Su Ying smiled.
"I'll follow grandma's instructions."
The Gu family went out and had to pack up for a while. Gu Jinghong was taken away by Gu Guodong, and Su Ying sat alone on the sofa in the living room watching TV.
There were actually only a few channels at that time. She turned on the TV and suddenly a familiar drama popped up, "Journey to the West"
This made Su Ying feel so close to her, and she sat on the sofa and watched it very seriously.
She would laugh from time to time and even imitate Lao Zhu's way of speaking. She felt like she was back to the modern times and was relaxed.
In the room, Gu Jinghong heard laughter outside and couldn't help but look back.
Gu Guodong held a cigarette in his hand, but his brows were tightly furrowed.
"We don't deny that your wife is in trouble, but her background and status don't match yours."
Gu Jinghong's eyes were gloomy.
"She lives with me. What does it have to do with you whether she's worthy or not? Besides, if there's anything unworthy, it's me who doesn't deserve her. I'm a paralyzed person waiting to die, and even my family has abandoned me, but she has taken care of me wholeheartedly. None of you have the right to tell her what to do."
Gu Guodong looked at him in surprise.
He didn't expect Gu Jinghong to defend Su Ying so fiercely and even speak to him, his relative, like that.
He put out the cigarette in his hand.
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. What are your plans for the future? Now that you're getting better, you should hurry back to the army. You're already thirty years old. If you don't fight hard, you won't have any chance of advancement."
Gu Jinghong pushed the wheelchair to the balcony, looked at the children playing outside the window, and said coldly.
"Who said I wanted to go up?"
"What did you say?"
Gu Guodong looked at Gu Jinghong with hope and even anger.
"Gu Jinghong, have you lost your fighting spirit after two years in Jiangcheng?"
Gu Jinghong looked back at him, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
"What fighting spirit? I joined the army because I wanted to contribute to the strength of our country and protect it from foreign invasions."
Gu Guodong looked at him, moved his lips and asked.
"What about the Gu family? You have to think about your family."
"Don't the Gu family have you? Oh, by the way, I might leave the army in the future and live off my wife, so you should be mentally prepared."
After he finished speaking, he pushed the wheelchair out.
