"Great-grandfather, grandpa and grandma, we are leaving."
"Gu An, if you have time before you return to Jiangcheng, please come to our house and have dinner with us on the Lantern Festival." Zhuang Yan held his hand and reminded him.
"good."
After watching the four people leave, Gu Tiangang called his son and daughter-in-law to the study.
"Dad, what do you want us for?"
"Let me tell you about Gu An. There are no outsiders here. What do you think?" Gu Tiangang's face returned to its usual stern and serious expression, but his voice was surprisingly gentle, which was beyond Zhuang Yan's expectation.
"Dad, no matter what, he's Zhenhua's child and his last name is Gu. Have you noticed his eyes? They're exactly like Zhenhua's when he was little. I like this kid and want to keep him by my side."
Zhuang Yan rarely argued with her father-in-law, but this time she refused to remain silent.
"I asked Gu An, and your granddaughter-in-law has recently started dating someone new. They're getting married soon. We haven't been involved in her relationship for over a decade, and we have no right to interfere or stop her."
Gu Tiangang's mouth twitched rarely but he said nothing.
It turned out that the person was about to run away before the Gu family recognized him.
"Dad, do you agree that we should adopt Gu An as our child?" Gu Guofeng squeezed his wife's hand.
Gu Tiangang looked through the window and saw Gu An holding Ye Weiwei and Si Hong in the hands of others, followed by an unconvinced Jiang Xiaoxiao, and they were almost at the gate of the manor.
"Look, even without the Gu family's status, he's still doing well. There's no other young man in the entire capital who can be like him."
Zhuang Yan didn't understand what her father-in-law wanted to express, so she looked at her husband for the answer in his eyes.
"Dad, he's still a child."
"People always grow up. Jade cannot be made into a useful object without being polished. He can ignore his status as a Gu family member, but the Gu family cannot ignore him. We need him."
Gu Tiangang's weathered eyes saw through everything, and naturally he saw through the surface to the essence behind the children's little movements at the dinner table.
"None of the four major families in Beijing have boys in their younger generation. The old man of the Jiang family has been anxiously choosing a husband for his granddaughter for a long time. The girl from the Jiang family is undoubtedly a walking weapon beyond her capacity. She would not be safe in any family."
"There are very few talented young men from aristocratic families who are worthy of her. She and the girl from the Si family have been close childhood friends."
"The Ye and Si families are married, and we are of the same blood. Therefore, the prestige of the Si family will be higher than that of my Gu family in the future. There is no way we can change this. I have always believed this until we had this meal just now."
Gu Tiangang raised his lips for a rare moment, narrowed his eyes, and spoke slowly, "To be favored by the Si family's daughter, and to have such a close relationship with the two Jiang Ye girls, is a strength in itself. He will bind the four major families together."
"As for that abandoned child from the wealthy Jiangcheng family, since they've given up on him, they can never get him back. His surname is Gu."
Gu Guofeng also wanted to make up for the emotional loss over the years, so he nodded in agreement with his father.
"But we still need to communicate with our daughter-in-law in advance. It's not easy for her to raise the child alone."
"I'll leave this matter to you. The time is set after Gu An's college entrance examination. You will make the details, and this old man will not interfere."
...
In the car.
Ye Weiwei rolled her head. "Man, you always surprise me. In the future, you'll be the eldest son of the Gu family, one of the four major families in Beijing. Why don't you live at Grandpa Gu's house?"
"Don't make a fuss. There's no such thing as a young master. I'm just me. An ordinary high school student who lives with my mother."
What Gu An saw was a huge manor with three lonely old men living in it.
"I want to be with my pretty sister. Why should I live there?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao glared at Ye Weiwei fiercely, angry at her for asking such an easy question. Did she not have enough lunch and still want to nibble on some dog food?
The two of them looked at each other with puffy cheeks. Si Hongfeng glanced at the two pufferfish and curled her lips.
These two light bulbs, I really want to throw them into another car.
But it's just a thought. Jiang Xiaoxiao has done this before, when she gets crazy and controls a car to shut down due to a circuit failure.
In the next few days, the four of them went to Chengdu to wish all the members of the laboratory a happy new year and eat hot pot and spicy and sour fish.
The four of them distributed red envelopes to everyone in the name of the boss, and also received a red envelope as juniors.
Judging from the number of red envelopes, this wave of exchanges was profitable.
After returning to the capital, Si Hong took Gu An to visit the remaining tourist attractions.
Gu An had never skied before, so the four of them went to Nanshan Ski Resort and skied for the whole day, having a great time.
The only regret is that I didn’t build a big snowman inside.
On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, he called Fang Rou from the pavilion in the garden of the Si family's old house and asked, "Mom, when are you going back to Jiangcheng?"
"Son, please stay for two more days. We won't go back to your godfather's place until after the Lantern Festival." Fang Rou's voice was light and sweet.
"Okay, Mom, have fun. You can come back anytime. I can take care of myself."
"You little bastard, you're making me feel like I'm tired of the old and never want to leave again."
"Hey, hang up."
Gu An smacked his lips. It would be best if there were two of us going, and three of us coming back. Hmm~ Four wouldn't be a problem either.
I was sitting there alone, thinking about all sorts of things and laughing.
Si Hong looked at him with a silly look and silently glared at him.
"What are you thinking about? Why are you so happy?"
"Sister, I feel like everything is getting better and better. I love my life now." Gu An looked up at Si Hong, his clear eyes surging with bright spring spirit.
There is an emotion called liking.
Si Hong saw herself in his pupils.
They lowered their heads and kissed each other softly, their faces flushed.
Ahem! Si Zhennan covered his face with his hands and looked up at the sky. "Oh my! How come there's a bird dropping in my eye? I can't see anything. Mo Yuan, come and help me back to my room. I can't see anything! Go, go, go!"
Mo Yuan: “…”
He really wanted to say, "Master, no one is paying any attention to you. You're still chewing it, why don't you take a look at it."
Si Zhennan walked to the corner and looked back, laughing with satisfaction.
"That old guy Ye Xiaodong, humph!"
He was not the only one who was having a great time during this period. He Xiao had been a bachelor for over 40 years. Since Fang Rou successfully proposed to him on Valentine's Day, the two of them had broken the window paper.
I've also done some other things during these days when I was home.
The old couple wanted to hold their late daughter-in-law in their hands and urged them to get the marriage certificate locally. Because Fang Rou did not bring her household registration book, she could only wait until after the holiday to return to Jiangcheng to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
On the day of the Lantern Festival, Si Hong and Gu An celebrated the festival with Gu Tiangang and the other two at the Gu family manor.
Time flies, and it is early May in a blink of an eye.
There is still one month left before the college entrance examination.
Fang Rou and He Xiao got their marriage certificate in February. She is now three months pregnant but her pregnancy is still not very noticeable.
In order to take care of her more conveniently, Gu An moved to Room 601 with her after learning that she was pregnant.
Together with He Xiao, they formed a happy family of four.
