Chapter 207 Kong Xiuwan
"What did you tell your dad?" Gu Siqing asked.
Let her say, if Han Deyi makes the decision, it will be much easier to handle this matter! If her mother wants to come over, she can come over, and it will be great if everyone can get along harmoniously.
"I said I will always be his son, but she won't ignore him either." Han Zhengping also felt that this was not a difficult matter. He just had another biological mother, and he would treat the three elders fairly in the future.
"I think so." Gu Siqing moved her hands in his pockets and added, "I think your mother must be pretty."
"How do you know?" Han Zhengping asked with a smile.
"Because you're pretty!"
Han Zhengping: "...You are a writer, don't you know that men can't be described as good-looking?"
Gu Siqing laughed out loud when he heard him call himself a man. Han Zhengping felt embarrassed by her laughter and blushed. He was already fourteen, how could he not be a man?
Just then they arrived home, and Han Zhengping and she got off their bicycles and pushed them back home. Gu Siqing realized something was wrong. Was she unhappy?
You can't be so stingy, right?
She trotted over and grabbed his sleeve, then looked up at the boy's fair face and said, "Are you angry? Then you said something about me, saying I'm handsome."
Her expression and voice were somewhat flattering, and Han Zhengping couldn't help wanting to laugh, but he still held it back and said, "You know how to choose words for yourself, and you are handsome and elegant!"
Gu Siqing: "If I were a man, I would definitely be handsome and elegant."
"You are just a little kid at most." Han Zhengping said.
Gu Siqing was unwilling to do so. "I'll give you one more chance to organize your words, or I'll be mad."
Han Zhengping looked down at her, as if thinking seriously, and then said, "I understand, Princess. You are the most beautiful."
Gu Siqing chuckled, she also felt that she was being childish.
"You are the most handsome too," she said.
Han Zhengping also laughed, "Okay, let's go home quickly, it's cold outside."
"You're not angry anymore?"
"I'm not angry anymore."
Seeing the smile on his face, Gu Siqing seemed to be no longer angry, so she trotted home. Han Zhengping watched her enter the house before pushing his bicycle home.
When Gu Siqing returned home, the meal was ready. She washed her hands with warm water and sat down to eat. During the meal, Gu Jianguo talked about opening a new store.
"If I open three stores at the same time, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it," said Gu Jianguo.
Gu Erhui suggested opening three branches simultaneously: one each in West City, South City, and North City. The main reason was that many of the supermarket's customers came from West City, South City, and North City, and if they opened branches in these three locations, business would likely be good.
"We already have experience with the current stores, so it will be much easier to open another one. It's just a matter of managing a few more stores." Gu Erhui said.
Gu Siqing took a sip of porridge and said, "Transfer the current capable clerk to the new store as manager."
"Xiao Si's idea is good," Wang Yueju said, "It's just like choosing a team leader in the village."
Gu Siqing gave her mother a thumbs up, which was an apt metaphor.
Gu Jianguo, Gu Erhui, and Gu Yimin all thought this was a good idea and began to make preparations. It was easier said than done.
With so many employees, how would they manage them? How would they allocate the goods? Gu Jianguo and his colleagues had never managed anything before, so they had to figure everything out by trial and error.
The Gu family held several meetings, and the plan took about a month to finalize. Then, Gu Jianguo began contacting various manufacturers, bargaining for prices! If they sold more, the purchase price would surely be lower.
Gu Erhui and Wang Yueju began looking for a suitable house and recruiting employees. New employees started working directly in the store, which was equivalent to pre-job training. Gu Yimin was busy studying every day. The family was busy all the way to the Chinese New Year.
They planned to spend the New Year in Lizhou this year. Gu Jianguo called Wu Dani and told her they were not going back home for the New Year and asked if she would come to Lizhou. If so, he would pick her up.
This time, Wu Dani was very easy to talk to. She said directly: "It's okay if you don't come back. Just send me some more money."
Gu Jianguo naturally agreed immediately, and then went to the post office to send her fifty yuan and a lot of things. He didn't dare to give her more money, as it might cause trouble.
Before the Lunar New Year, everyone was busy buying New Year's goods. Gu Jianguo and his friends were still busy on New Year's Eve. Gu Siqing and Gu Sanjing were both on holiday, but they weren't busy at all. Gu Siqing spent her days playing with Han Zhengping or working on her novel, while Gu Sanjing played with the children in the alley.
After breakfast that day, Gu Siqing went to Han Zhengping's place to do her winter vacation homework. She bent over the desk to do her homework while Han Zhengping read a book beside her.
At this time, someone knocked on the door. Han Zhengping went to open the door and saw a woman in her thirties standing at the door. She was tall and had a delicate and graceful appearance.
Han Zhengping stood there in a daze. Even though he had never seen him before, he knew who this person was. Sometimes blood ties are so magical.
"You... are Zhengping, right?" Kong Xiuwan controlled herself from crying. It was her first time meeting her son, and she didn't want to cry.
"I... yes." Han Zhengping leaned sideways, "Come in."
"Okay." Kong Xiuwan walked into the yard with a gift in her hand and followed Han Zhengping into the hall.
Gu Siqing heard the noise outside and walked out of the room. Her eyes met with Kong Xiuwan who was sitting in the hall. She smiled at her and asked, "Are you a sticky bean curd?"
He was already good-looking, and he looked even better with this smile. Gu Siqing glanced at Han Zhengping. They looked three-quarters alike, so who did they resemble the other seven-quarters?
Could it be that Han Zhengping’s biological father is also a handsome man?
Thinking about all sorts of things in her mind, Gu Siqing walked over with a smile, "Auntie, my name is Gu Siqing."
"Just call her Xiao Si." Han Zhengping said with a smile.
Gu Siqing glared at him, and Han Zhengping smiled and went to pour water. Kong Xiuwan glanced at the interaction between the two children and smiled.
"You are such a pretty child," Kong Xiuwan asked Gu Siqing to sit next to her.
Gu Siqing walked over and sat down. She glanced at Han Zhengping who was pouring water and whispered, "Auntie, is Brother Zhengping also good-looking?"
Kong Xiuwan smiled and nodded. Gu Siqing seemed to have found an ally and lowered her voice and said, "A few days ago, I told him he was good-looking, and he got angry."
Gu Siqing was pretty and cheerful, with a quirky look. Kong Xiuwan couldn't help but laugh. She had thought that seeing her son might be awkward, but she hadn't expected the atmosphere to be so relaxed.
"Why is he angry?" Kong Xiuwan asked with a smile.
"He said that men can't be described as good-looking."
Kong Xiuwan also burst out laughing. At this time, Han Zhengping came over with two teacups. Gu Siqing quickly sat up straight. Seeing this, Kong Xiuwan couldn't help laughing again.
These two kids are so happy together.
