If it happened to someone else, especially if you were a leader, you would definitely feel humiliated if your family scolded you like this in front of others.
But I don't know if Song Guoqiang is too good-tempered or he's used to it, he apologized very gently:
"I'm sorry, Xiaoxuan, it's Daddy's fault. Where's your mom? Is everything okay today?"
Annan raised his eyebrows. He is indeed Song Guoqiang's son, but the relationship between father and son doesn't look very good...
The boy glared at Song Guoqiang and did not answer the question. Instead, he said in an extremely aggressive tone:
"What does my mother's situation have to do with you? You are such a busy person, just focus on your precious work and don't bother with us!"
While the boy was speaking angrily, he noticed the three little ones standing behind Annan and Gu Zhiyu, with surprise and curiosity in their eyes.
However, he glanced at Song Guoqiang and seemed not to want to talk to him. He shut his mouth and asked nothing. He also did not greet the guests brought by his father and was ready to turn around and leave.
Song Guoqiang looked at An Nan and Gu Zhiyu with some embarrassment and apology: "Excuse me."
At this moment, Niu Gandang on the side suddenly roared:
"You little brat! How do you talk to your father?!"
When the boy heard someone scolding him, he immediately turned around and said in a hoarse voice: "What does it have to do with you? You..."
He suddenly stopped talking halfway and stared at Niu Gandang's dark and dirty face, examining him carefully.
Niu Gandang took a few steps forward and punched him on the shoulder: "You little brat! Don't you recognize me?"
The young man was stunned for a moment, as if he had confirmed something, and said in disbelief: "Uncle?!"
Then, with a look of surprise on his face, he grabbed Niu Gan Dang and looked around: "Uncle! Is it really you?! You're still alive!!"
Niu Gandang patted his shoulder and said, "Silly boy, your uncle is so powerful, how could he die like this?"
At this point, I introduced Annan and Guzhiyu to him with a smile:
"I took advantage of these two people's ride, which saved me a lot of energy. I got home in one nap."
Upon hearing this, the boy changed his previous rebellious attitude and no longer ignored Annan and the other two. Instead, he bowed to them respectfully:
"Thank you for bringing my uncle back."
Gu Zhiyu reached out and helped him up: "You're welcome."
The boy bowed again and apologized earnestly: "I'm sorry for my bad attitude just now. I hope you don't mind."
Then he emphasized again: "Thank you so much for bringing my uncle back."
Now Annan also waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. It's just a simple gesture."
This child looked like a rebellious teenager just now, but now he is very sensible and polite. It seems that his relationship with Niu Gan Dang is better than that with his biological father.
Niu Gan Dang explained to them with a smile:
"I watched Xiaoxuan grow up. My wife and I didn't have any children. Guoqiang and his wife were busy with work, so Xiaoxuan spent most of his time at my house. He would travel with me during the winter and summer vacations. He was closer to me than his father!"
Then he compared his height with his hand with some emotion:
"When I left home, this little girl was still like a delicate little girl, but after a few years, she has grown taller than me! Puberty develops quickly..."
At this point, he suddenly thought of something, his face changed, and he punched the boy on the shoulder with his fist:
"Song Haoxuan, I haven't seen you for a few years. Not only have you grown taller, but your temper has also gotten worse! How did you talk to your father just now?!"
When Song Guoqiang was mentioned, Song Haoxuan's expression turned cold again.
He glanced at his father and said nothing. After a long while, he grabbed Niu Gandang's arm:
"Uncle, let's not talk about this for now. Come in quickly..."
Niu Gandang frowned: "Hey, kid! Why don't you say anything? I'm telling you, you must..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Song Guoqiang: "Brother-in-law, let's not talk about this for now, let's go into the house!"
Seeing Niu Gandang opening his mouth and wanting to say something, he reminded him, "There are two more guests! Don't leave them standing. Go inside first."
Niu Gandang glanced at An Nan and Gu Zhiyu who were still standing at the door, and then stopped talking. He turned around and apologized to them:
"I'm sorry, brother and sister, my mind is in a mess and I'm dragging people to talk at the door! Come in, come in!"
Annan and Gu Zhiyu nodded and followed them into the room.
The room was cleaned tidy. Song Guoqiang repeatedly emphasized that they didn't need to change shoes. He led them to sit on the sofa, and then went to the kitchen to make tea.
Annan watched him busying around with his hands and feet, and sighed that this man really did not have the demeanor and airs of a great leader at all, and was like a simple old man.
Niu Gan Dang took the tea from him, took a big sip, and then sighed with satisfaction: "This quenches my thirst!"
Then he looked around and said, "Don't bother with anything! Where's my sister-in-law? Why can't I see her? Are her family members all right?"
Song Guoqiang didn't sit down yet. After pouring tea for Annan and Gu Zhiyu, he walked into the room.
As he walked, he replied, "She's in the room. I'll go check on her first."
Niu Gandang was stunned for a moment.
Guoqiang's wife, who is also his sister-in-law, is a very kind and warm-hearted person. In the past, if so many of them had come to her house in such a loud manner, she would have already come out to greet them with a smile on her face, and would not have stayed in the room.
Niu Gandang turned around and asked Song Haoxuan beside him: "Xiaoxuan, what happened to your mother?"
Song Haoxuan pursed his lips in a depressed mood and said nothing.
Niu Gandang was impatient and immediately pushed his arm: "Speak! Why are you so quiet?"
Seeing that the other party still couldn't say a word, he stood up anxiously: "You kid, you really have a hard time speaking!"
As he said this, he walked towards the room that Song Guoqiang had just entered.
He raised his hand and was about to knock on the door when he saw it open again.
Song Guoqiang walked out, closed the door behind him, and made a "huh" gesture: "She fell asleep."
Niu Gandang immediately took a step back and whispered, "Oh! Then let's keep our voices down so as not to disturb my sister-in-law."
When they returned to the living room, they saw Song Haoxuan standing up:
"Uncle, you guys chat with the guests first, I'll go prepare the meal."
Having said that, he left here and went into the kitchen.
Niu Gandang looked at his back and sighed: "My nephew can actually cook!"
Then he frowned and asked Song Guoqiang: "What happened to this child? I watched him grow up and I know he is a very well-behaved and filial child. Why would he treat you like this now?"
Song Guoqiang glanced at An Nan and Gu Zhiyu beside him and smiled awkwardly: "They didn't do anything to me... They are just adolescent children!"
