Hearing Li Mingxi's words, Niu Cuihua didn't care and snorted coldly.
"I'm just happy. What's the matter? Why shouldn't I be happy?"
As she spoke, Niu Cuihua raised her neck, looking determined to persist!
Well, seeing the old lady is like this, Li Mingxi can only indulge her even if he wants to say something.
Ever since he learned that someone was looking for his grandfather and returned home from the county town, Gu Tingchen has been absent-minded.
But this matter was too serious, and he absolutely could not tell his grandfather about it.
He knew that there were some secrets in his family. It was because of this that his grandfather brought him back here from Beijing more than ten years ago.
But there is something on his mind, and his behavior is definitely different from before.
Although he tried his best to cover up, Mr. Gu soon discovered his trick.
So, looking at his grandson who had just returned from outside, Grandpa Gu started asking.
"Xiaochen, what's wrong with you? Why do I see you are always absent-minded these past two days? Is there something wrong?"
Gu Tingchen didn't want to tell the truth to his grandfather, so he made up an excuse to get away with it.
"No, Grandpa, you're overthinking it. I'm just a little tired from hunting in the mountains these past two days!"
Glancing at Old Man Gu, he began to ask, "By the way, Grandpa, why didn't you drink the malted milk I brought you back from the county? I saw the packaging and you didn't even touch it! Didn't the doctor tell you to supplement your nutrition? You can't be reluctant to drink it!"
After saying this, without waiting for Mr. Gu to speak, he turned and went into the bedroom.
When he came out, he was holding a can of malted milk.
He opened the package, took out a bowl and started to make tea for Mr. Gu.
It was obvious that he was deliberately changing the subject.
In this situation, even if Mr. Gu wanted to ask more questions, he couldn't get anything out of them. He could only sigh in his heart.
If it weren't for that incident at home, why would my grandson have to follow me here and suffer?
It was all his fault that he delayed his grandson's development. If it weren't for their family's special circumstances, his grandson wouldn't have been struggling to survive in this remote corner.
He didn't have to ask what his grandson had been through, but looking at his grandson busying around, Grandpa Gu was still very worried.
So, after careful consideration, he started to make arrangements.
"Xiaochen, if there's anything wrong, you have to tell me. You can't handle it all by yourself!"
Without waiting for Gu Tingchen to speak, he started sighing to himself again.
"To be honest, I'm the one who's holding you back. If I weren't in poor health, you wouldn't have to work so hard. With your ability, you should have established a firm foothold in the county by now!"
Gu Tingchen hated it most when his grandfather complained to himself. When he heard him say this, he knew that the old man was feeling compassion for the world again!
If I don't say something, he will start reminiscing about the past again in a while.
By then, if the old man is in a bad mood, his health will definitely be affected.
Thinking of this, he quickly interrupted Mr. Gu.
"Master, are you bored at home? Look at what you think about all day long."
Listening to his grandson's words, Old Man Gu said indifferently, "What could possibly happen to me? Besides, I'm just an ordinary person, what could possibly happen to me?"
As soon as these words came out, Gu Tingchen's face darkened and at the same time, his brows furrowed slightly.
As soon as you see him like this, you can tell that he is impatient.
Seeing this, Mr. Gu quickly stopped talking and spoke reluctantly.
"Okay, I won't say anything more. But if you really have something to say, you must tell me!"
In order not to make his grandfather worry, although Gu Tingchen was very impatient, he still agreed, "Okay, okay, I got it!"
As the New Year is coming to an end, Ermao Ge’s vacation is almost over.
But after such a long time, the matter between Ermao Ge and Dong Sisi still has no result, so Li Mingxi wants to create more opportunities for them.
For this reason, Li Mingxi often went to the county town during this period, and specially asked Ermao to take him with him.
At first, Ermao didn’t think much about it. He just thought that his little cousin might feel that the county town was too far away and was too tired to ride a bike, so she came to find him!
Anyway, it's just taking his little cousin to the county town, and it's not tiring. Ermao didn't think it was a big deal. It was just right for him to get up and take his little cousin to the county town, which could be considered as exercise.
But after a long time, he found something wrong.
It would be fine if we just went to the county town, but something is obviously wrong!
Every time, my little cousin would take me to see Dong Sisi. What was the purpose? Ermao knew the reason without having to think.
That day, Li Mingxi came to see Ermao pushing his bicycle as usual.
Looking at his little cousin with a smile on her face, Ermao felt his scalp tingling. He really didn't want to accompany his little cousin to the county town anymore.
After careful consideration, he spoke.
"Xiao Xi, if you want to go to the county town, just go by yourself. Why are you looking for me? It's not like you can't ride a bike!"
Li Mingxi came here just for Ermao brother, so naturally she would not agree. When she heard what Ermao brother said, she shook her head decisively.
"No, Ermao, riding a bike to the county town in winter is too tiring. I really can't stand it!"
Then, she stretched out her arms and said in a coquettish tone, "Look at my thin arms and legs. Riding a bike to the county town is really tiring!"
Seeing that Ermao still didn't make any move, she simply stepped forward, pulled Ermao's arm, and looked at him coquettishly.
"You have nothing to do at home anyway, Ermao brother, just think of it as helping me, okay?"
Looking at his little cousin who was looking at him innocently, Ermao felt a little soft-hearted and subconsciously wanted to agree.
But when the words came to his lips, he remembered his plan and stopped talking.
No, he absolutely could not be soft-hearted and agree to his cousin's request. Otherwise, he was afraid that he would not be able to calm down after returning to the army.
Looking at his little cousin who was still waiting for his reply, Ermao thought for a while and spoke helplessly.
"I really don't want to go with you!"
Hearing this, Li Mingxi subconsciously wanted to refute, but before she could open her mouth, Ermao spoke again.
"Don't tell me you're going to buy something. Look, you've been going to the county town every day these days. Apart from buying a few books at the beginning, what have you bought since then?"
Having said that, he pointed his finger at Li Mingxi's nose, looked her up and down, and then spoke in a joking tone.
"Could it be that you saw that your brother Ermao was fat and deliberately tried to steal your brother from me?"
