Jiang Mengxue took a few candies and put them in Chenchen's pocket.
"Chenchen, be good, have some candy, please."
Chenchen stopped crying when she saw the beautiful aunt, and looked at Jiang Mengxue with tears in her eyes and a wronged look.
Jiang Mengxue reached out and took him in her arms, coaxing him.
Wang Zelan felt relieved only when she saw that her grandson had stopped crying.
She wiped her tears with a handkerchief and sighed.
"My son has been spoiled. There is nothing we can do. I have already told Lao Li that if he insists on getting married, then he should not come to us if he has any problems in the future. Whether he has money or not, he will have to live a good life or a hard life.
If he can think it through and break up with Sun Jingjing, I will ask Lao Li to arrange for him to be transferred to the eldest brother's city. In the future, the two brothers can be together and the eldest brother can look after the second brother.
If he refuses to repent, forget it. I'll just pretend I don't have this son."
There was nothing that could be done about it. Sun Jia was obviously not marrying her daughter to Li Guosheng, but putting all the burden of the family on Li Guosheng. She simply thought that the Li family would not just ignore it.
But Li Jizhong and Wang Zelan worked together in that era, so how could they allow themselves to be manipulated?
Luan Huiying couldn't say anything about this matter, after all, it was someone else's family affair.
"You two just have to think it over carefully, otherwise the Sun family might end up relying on you in the future.
But your second son should also be more careful. Reputation is important these days. If that woman does something that causes misunderstanding, he won't be able to refuse to marry her even if he wants to."
Now is an era where you have to take responsibility if you save someone.
There are cases where girls were rescued from the river and then forced to marry.
If you encounter such a thing, you should either watch her die without helping, otherwise the girl’s reputation will be ruined and what was originally a good deed will become a bad thing.
Wang Zelan obviously thought of this as well, and her face darkened. This was something that the Sun family really couldn't do.
Wang Zelan was a little anxious. Although she was disappointed with her son, she was also worried that he was really being framed.
He stood up suddenly and said, "Well, I'll go find Lao Li first. Can I leave Chenchen at your house for a while?"
Luan Huiying looked at Jiang Mengxue, who was having the most fun playing with Chenchen, nodded and waved her hand.
"Go ahead, go ahead. Don't worry, Chenchen is at my house."
Wang Zelan told Chenchen that she would come to pick him up later, and ran out in a hurry, fearing that her son would be gone if she was a few minutes late.
Although the other people in the room didn't say anything, they listened from beginning to end.
Gu Qingbei hugged Chenchen and did not let him sit in Jiang Mengxue's arms.
But it was obvious that Chenchen was unwilling, twisting and turning in Gu Qingbei's arms: "I don't want uncle, I want sister to hold me, sister Xiangxiang."
"If you call me uncle, then you should call my wife aunt, or you can call me brother."
Chenchen was stunned by his request not to come and get it, and couldn't bring himself to call him brother.
Her face turned red before she managed to utter, "Auntie, hold me."
"Hahaha......"
"You are so much older than Chenchen, and you still have the nerve to call yourself brother."
Gu Qingbei patted Chenchen's butt.
"Then uncle will take you out to play. Let's go horseback riding."
Chenchen was about to say that he didn't want to go out to play, but when he heard that they were going horseback riding, he immediately nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Go, go, go, I want to ride a horse."
Jiang Mengxue felt that it was boring. She couldn't ride a horse now anyway, so she could only watch but not play. She decided not to go.
"Then I'll take Chenchen out for a walk and come back for lunch."
There were many children running around outside, but Chenchen had just arrived and didn’t know anyone, so he could only watch other children playing with envy.
After Gu Qingbei walked away with Chenchen in his arms, a group of women gathered together and talked in low voices.
"Is this Commander Gu's son? The one he's holding is his son? I've never heard that Commander Gu has a grandson."
"No, that's Chief of Staff Li's grandson. He should be taken out to play."
"I was planning to introduce my niece to Commander Gu's son, but I didn't expect they were already married."
"What? Married? I've only been home for a few days, how come you're getting married so soon?"
"Who knows? The one from the art troupe will be disappointed. She used to always try to get close to Vice President Luan, but he doesn't even like her and would rather marry a country girl."
"I think the daughter-in-law of the Gu family is pretty, at least prettier than the one from the art troupe."
"What's the point of being pretty? What's important is that her family is well-off. Do you really want your son to marry someone from the countryside with no background?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Jiang Mengxue was bored at home, so she asked Luan Huiying to give her some medical books to read. They were all about simple first aid and solutions to some common minor illnesses in rural areas.
This is a notebook recorded by a rural doctor. It contains some useful information and is very useful to Jiang Mengxue now.
Time passed unknowingly and it was noon. She didn't even know when Gu Qingbei came back.
"Wife, it's time for dinner. Old Dong is here too."
Dong Yixing bought the gift from somewhere and brought it over.
Luan Huiying invited everyone to come in and sit down: "Hey, kid, why do you bring anything when you come to play? Just treat it as your own home. Come and sit down. We will eat in a while."
"I went out for something yesterday, so I'm sorry to bother my uncle and aunt today."
"Why bother you? Auntie loves a lively home.
You chat with Xiaobei, I'll go cook."
Gu Qingbei brought him to the living room and sat him down, then brewed two cups of tea from Gu Zhenhai's collection.
"When will your meeting be? Even if we rush back now, we won't be able to celebrate the New Year, right?"
It would take at least a week to get back to the border defense force from the headquarters, and the Chinese New Year would be in two days. If I go back now, I can only celebrate the New Year on the train.
“No, our commander plans to spend the New Year here before returning home, and spend it with the soldiers at the headquarters.
Are you in the same unit with Lao Lu now? I haven't seen him for a long time. Is he married? I'm not the only one left single now, am I?
Dong Yixing covered his heart with his hands, as if he had suffered a great blow.
Gu Qingbei chuckled: "No, he would be so happy if he knew you weren't married yet."
"That's great. I'll have a drink with him next time we meet."
This time Dong Yixing just came along to relax, he was not needed for the meeting.
So at noon, the two of them drank a lot of wine and talked a lot about their time in the army together.
Who knew that Dong Yixing couldn't drink much?
Luan Huiying tidied up the bed in the study at home, and Gu Qingbei helped her lie down on the bed.
"I thought he had improved after all these years, but I didn't expect it to be just bragging again."
Gu Qingbei rubbed his swollen head. He had just drunk much more than Dong Yixing.
"You go lie down too. I'll make you a cup of honey water before you go to sleep."
Jiang Mengxue said as she helped clear the dishes on the table.
