Chapter 399: A mere incompetent factory manager
When Mrs. Ruan saw her grandson coming downstairs, she called out to Xiuying in the kitchen, "Xiuying, Yingzhou is down. We can set the table for dinner."
"Oh, I'll be right there."
Old Madam Ruan looked at Gu Yingzhou with loving eyes.
"Yingzhou, did you sleep well last night?"
"fine."
The old lady wasn't surprised that Sun was quiet, and continued with a smile, "Breakfast will be ready soon. I asked your Aunt Xiuying to make your favorite shengjian (stir-fried dumplings). You'll have to eat a few more later."
The Ruan family doesn’t actually make shengjian very often because it requires too many ingredients.
They need white flour, meat, and they want to fry it in oil...
It is delicious, but it is too troublesome and too bourgeois.
However, as soon as the younger generations come back, the family will prepare something delicious for them.
Gu Yingzhou hadn't eaten shengjian for a long time and really missed it.
"Okay, thank you, grandma."
Thinking that the little girl had never tasted such a delicacy, he said, "...I want to take some away later."
His expression did not change, but Mrs. Ruan keenly noticed something.
"...What are you doing?" she asked curiously.
The graceful old lady's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she was thinking of something.
"Is your partner here too?!"
As she spoke, she clapped her hands.
"Yes, yes, it must be."
"I heard that Tangtang is the secretary of the flour textile factory. She's a capable girl. Is she also attending the expo?!"
Mrs. Ruan's eyes were as bright as torches, and her face was full of joy.
I don't even have the heart to listen to Mr. Ruan's daily news.
Quietly turn down the volume.
He pricked up his ears and listened to the movement here.
Gu Yingzhou didn't deny it and nodded slightly, "Yeah, Tangtang is here too."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Ruan's face turned serious.
“Nonsense!”
"The girl has come to Hai City, why don't you bring her back?
Are you comfortable letting the little girl live in a guesthouse alone?" The old man said with a look of disdain.
Gu Yingzhou glanced at his grandfather and said in a gloomy tone, "Aren't you listening to the news?"
Well……
Mr. Ruan's face froze, and he said confidently, "Can't I just not listen?"
After saying that, he turned off the radio.
"Don't change the subject. What do you think?" he asked sternly.
The way he looked at Gu Yingzhou was like looking at a scumbag who didn't want to take responsibility.
Old Madam Ruan also looked at him suspiciously.
It was as if he had done something inhumane.
Gu Yingzhou: “…”
He pinched his brows and explained, "Tangtang is still young, and I don't think it's a good idea to come visit you now. I plan to find a chance to visit you after my birthday."
When Mrs. Ruan heard the explanation, a smile appeared on her face and she looked even gentler.
"The little girl has her own ideas, but it's rare for her to come here!"
As she spoke, she stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
"Xiuying, put out a few shengjian (stir-fried dumplings) and a steamed zongzi. Oh, and there's also porridge and side dishes. Put out separate portions for each."
Mrs. Ruan's face was full of smiles, and she was obviously in a good mood.
Without waiting for Xiuying to ask, he continued, "Yingzhou's girlfriend has also come to Hai City.
Pack the things and keep them warm first, and then have him take them to the little girl later."
You can find food everywhere, but how can it compare to the care and attention that is put into making it at home?!
It’s not a good thing, but it’s a thoughtful gesture after all.
Xiuying's eyes lit up. "Yingzhou's girlfriend is also attending that expo, right? Okay, I'll pretend."
Having said this, she took out a clean lunch box.
"Don't pack the shengjian for now. If they sit for too long, the surface won't be crispy anymore. I'll cook the zongzi now. They should be just right by the time Yingzhou is done eating."
Old Madam Ruan never worried about kitchen matters in her life.
She was born a daughter and married a man of equal social status. She never suffered any hardship.
You have a car to go out, servants to do the cooking and laundry, and you don’t have to worry about your children... This is what a winner in life is like.
Xiuying has been in the Ruan family for decades and is like a family member to them.
Mrs. Ruan was very confident in what she said and did.
"I trust you to do the job."
When they started eating, Gu Yingzhou clearly felt that his grandmother's eyes were looking at him with some urging meaning.
But that doesn’t make sense!
Old Master Ruan couldn't hold back his anger and said, "Hurry up and grab your food and leave after you finish eating."
Gu Yingzhou: “?!”
Mrs. Ruan pulled her husband's arm meaningfully.
It was like she was giving him a glare.
He laughed and said, "Yingzhou knows it in his heart. How could he not care about his own partner?"
Gu Yingzhou: “…”
How could he not see that his grandparents were playing the villain and the good cop and were kicking him out?
"Tangtang is tired from the car ride and should sleep a little longer," he said helplessly.
Based on his understanding of the little girl, he was afraid that she would sleep until at least nine o'clock.
It's not even seven o'clock yet, why are you in such a hurry?
Mrs. Ruan wanted to roll her eyes, thinking it was ungraceful.
My eyelids were turned up and I had to pry them down forcefully.
"You don't understand. It's rare for Tangtang to come to Hai City. She's unfamiliar with the place and staying in a guesthouse is far from comfortable like home. She must have woken up early."
Both she and Lao Ruan have a moderate personality.
Yingzhou's character is more straightforward than a poplar tree, he must have inherited it from the old Gu family.
Gu Yingzhou ate his breakfast slowly and leisurely.
Listening to my grandmother's righteous words, which seemed to make a lot of sense, I felt a little amused and helpless.
I haven't even met Tangtang yet, how did this protective and partial heart come about?!
"Don't laugh!" Old Master Ruan was very dissatisfied with Gu Yingzhou for not bringing back his future grandson's wife. He said with a disdainful tone: "Eat quickly, and leave quickly after eating."
After he finished speaking, he took out a stack of Great Unity and various colorful tickets from somewhere.
"Take these tickets and show the little girl around."
Madam Ruan nodded.
"Last time, your sister took me to the Friendship Store, and there were a lot of good things there.
The remittance vouchers your grandpa and I have are of little use. If Tangtang likes something, just use it!"
If Tangtang wasn't shy, she would have wanted to take the little girl for a walk.
Wait until later, there will be plenty of opportunities later.
Gu Yingzhou glanced at the bills on the table and declined, "I have all the money and bills, and I can still support my partner. You two can keep the money and bills for yourselves."
After all, he is just a small and insignificant factory manager.
I was doing research and making money when I was in college, and I had quite a bit of savings.
Mr. Ruan continued to despise, "It's for that little girl, not for you. Why are you being so sentimental?"
It would be fine if the little girl didn’t come to Hai City, but now that she has come, he and his wife can’t see her. What’s going on?
Mr. Ruan wanted to show off to Old Man Gu that he had met Yingzhou's girlfriend first, but he failed. The villain in his heart put his hands on his hips and his head was in a rage.
Gu Yingzhou: “…”
Mrs. Ruan saw that her grandson seemed to be shocked and laughed out loud inadvertently.
Gu Yingzhou looked at the old couple who had turned into his step-grandparents in an instant, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
He wiped his mouth and said, "Tangtang won't accept it."
He gave the girl a watch, and the girl gave him a radio in return.
He bought her shoes and food, and the girl kept giving him all kinds of food and drinks...
