Chapter 207 How did my older sister notice that I was different?
Seeing how close Ah Le was to Chu Yan, Gu Shu smiled and said, "This kid usually hides behind adults when he sees strangers, but I didn't expect him to be so bold when he sees Brother Yan! What does this mean? It means I've been talking about Brother Yan so much at home that even the little kid remembers you!"
After saying that, he patted Chu Yan on the shoulder and then walked away with a smile.
Qin Heng glanced at Chu Yan, then at Gu Le who was still holding Chu Yan, and sighed, "When I first arrived, I didn't see you being this enthusiastic, A-Le. Is this preferential treatment?"
After saying that, seeing that Gu Le still didn't look up or let go, he had no choice but to follow Gu Shu into the house.
After everyone had left, Chu Yan reached out and touched Gu Le's hair, and said with a smile, "Are you Gu Le? I often hear Gu Shu and A Yin talking about you, saying you're a good girl. Would you like me to come over to our house?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Le, who had been keeping her head down and burying her face in Chu Yan's lap, raised her face and nodded vigorously: "Welcome!"
Seeing the other person's clear, wet eyes, Chu Yan reached out and gently pinched his chubby cheeks.
He laughed and said, "Why are you crying? Who bullied you?"
Gu Le shook her head, released her hands from Chu Yan's legs, and then naturally reached out and hooked her index finger with Chu Yan's: "Seeing my brother makes me happy!" She then pulled Chu Yan towards home.
"Why didn't you come to our house to play sooner, brother?"
Chu Yan, who was inexplicably friendly, slowed down to walk alongside the other person: "I was busy with something before, so I didn't have time to come. Now that I'm on vacation, I came. Since I came directly from school, I didn't bring you a gift. You can think about what you want first, and I'll find it for you later, okay?"
Chu Yan arrived too early this morning, and having stayed up late last night, she had completely forgotten to buy a gift, and she felt a little annoyed.
Gu Le tilted her head and thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "How about buying a basketball? Brother, you can teach me how to play!"
After speaking, he nodded expectantly at Chu Yan.
Chu Yan liked his unpretentious and straightforward manner, and immediately nodded with a smile: "Sure! You should be able to find them on your street. How about we go buy some tomorrow?!"
"Hehe, great!" It's wonderful that the two of them can finally touch a basketball in this life, unlike in the last life when they could only watch others play with envy, and even the people around them dared not mention the word "sports".
When the two entered the house, everyone was sitting in the courtyard enjoying the cool air.
Only the old man and woman live at home; the other adults are busy working in the city.
Chu Yan smiled and looked at the two elders: "Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu, it's been a long time. How have you been lately?"
The old man smiled and nodded: "Good, good, everything is fine! How is your grandfather doing lately?"
"Welcome to my home! Come, come, it's hot, have some water." The old lady poured him a cup of tea.
Chu Yan quickly stepped forward, bent down, and took the gift: "Grandpa is doing well. He's been going to the market to play chess with Uncle Gu from time to time lately! Only Uncle Gu and the shopkeepers there can tolerate his terrible chess skills!"
The old man waved his hand: "Hahaha! We're all at the same level, neither of us can say anything about the other!"
"How about we play a game?" Chu Yan said to the old man with a smile.
The old man's eyes lit up, and he immediately put down his pipe and quickly went inside to get the chess set.
“The other kids in the family don’t like playing this. Come on, let’s play a game together, grandpa and grandson!”
The old lady looked at the time and saw that it was already past ten o'clock. She got up and said, "Then you play a couple of games with the old man first. I'll go cook some dishes!"
Just then, Gu Hua returned from picking sweet potato seedlings on the back hill, and Gu Yin got up to go into the kitchen to help.
"You just got back, sit down and rest. Grandma, Ahua, and I can do it!" Gu Shu stood up and stopped Gu Yin, telling her not to move.
Gu Hua said, "The three of us can do it! You can sit down!"
Gu Yin didn't sit down, but got up and took out the mushrooms she had bought on the street earlier, looking at Gu Hua: "Do you want to stir-fry a plate of them? Or save them to stew with chicken tonight?"
Gu Hua got up, opened the bag, looked inside, and smiled, "We'll save the termite mushrooms for tonight, and we can stir-fry the rest! Did you buy them on the street?"
Gu Yin took out the termite mushrooms, filled a clean basin with water, poured the mushrooms in, and began to wash them.
"Yes, I saw it when I came back. I don't know if there are any in the back mountain. If there are, we can go up and look for them in the next couple of days."
Gu Yin nodded: "Yes! I was thinking of going with Xiaohua and the others yesterday, but Xiaohua said we should wait for you to come back before going together!"
Over here, Chu Yan and the old man were playing chess, while Qin Heng watched from the side. Gu Le ran into the house and brought out two ice creams, handing the vanilla one to Chu Yan and the taro one to Qin Heng.
Qin Heng took the ice cream and smiled at Gu Le: "Le, I also like vanilla ice cream. How can you be so fickle? Yesterday you were calling me 'brother, brother,' but today a handsome guy came along and you abandoned me?"
Everyone looked at Gu Le, wanting to know how he would answer.
Gu Le didn't say anything, but looked at Chu Yan. Chu Yan paused while holding the ice cream, then tore open the surrounding packaging and handed it to him: "Eat it. Don't eat too much when we eat dinner later."
Gu Le reached out and took it, smiling as she said, "I know!" Then she sat down next to Chu Yan and looked at Qin Heng.
"Brother Yan doesn't eat ice cream, this is what I want! I'll only give you the other one, are you happy?" Brother Yan only drinks tea and plain water.
Qin Heng: "......" Little rascal, how come you have two faces!
Everyone: "......"
Gu Yin saw Chu Yan clench his fist to hide the corners of his mouth from his smile, and then lower his head as if looking at the chessboard. She smiled and shook her head.
After lunch, Gu Yin felt a little sleepy and prepared to rest. Gu Hua and the old lady took the mat and sheets to the mountain spring pool to wash them.
The old man went to the fields with his hoe, while Gu Shu took Chu Yan and Qin Heng outside to play.
Seeing that Gu Le was about to go out as well, Gu Yin called out, "Le, don't go. I need to check your study progress."
Gu Le nodded upon hearing this. After the three left, he closed the door and walked up to Gu Yin.
Gu Yin turned and walked into the house, and Gu Le followed her.
Gu Yin entered the house, sat down, and saw Gu Le close the door behind her. She smiled and asked, "Ready?"
Gu Le nodded shyly: "Mmm!"
Gu Yin's smile faded: "Then tell me."
Gu Le asked curiously, "How did you know I was different, sister?"
