next day
Bai Qianmo got up early and went downstairs, where she heard Old Madam Gu's voice coming from the dining room.
"Little Bai, come here."
Bai Qianmo looked towards the dining room, where Old Madam Gu was sitting at the table, with Aunt Mei standing beside her, serving her porridge.
"Amei, serve Bai a bowl of porridge too."
"Yes, Madam."
"Little Bai, come and sit down quickly."
Seeing Bai Qianmo approach, Old Madam Gu looked exceptionally pleased, gazing lovingly at the young girl before her.
Good morning, Grandma Gu.
"Why are you up so early today?" Old Madam Gu asked with a smile as she pulled Bai Qianmo to sit down.
"I heard from Fifth Brother that Grandpa Gu wasn't feeling well last night. Is he feeling better now?"
"Hehe, it's nothing serious, just an old problem."
Madam Gu's deep and wise gaze held a hint of contemplation.
Since seeing Bai Yatou again yesterday, she has noticed some problems.
Previously, when Bai Yatou addressed Seventh Brother as Mr. Gu in a joking manner, but after waking up this time, she called Seventh Brother Fifth Brother.
Where does this fifth brother come from?
Seventh Brother is the seventh among his peers in the family, which has nothing to do with the number "five".
"Little Bai, why do you call Ah Ye Fifth Brother?"
Bai Qianmo was slightly taken aback, wondering why Old Madam Gu would ask about the form of address.
Fifth Brother is the eldest grandson of the Gu family, but he has always lived abroad. It is likely that the two elders of the Gu family did not know that Fifth Brother was living abroad.
Thinking of this, Bai Qianmo felt that it would be more appropriate for Fifth Brother to explain his identity to the two elders himself.
"When Fifth Brother was in Y Country, he took good care of me. In my heart, he was like an older brother. As for the title, he was the fifth in his group of brothers, so I was used to calling him Fifth Brother."
Fifth Brother is ranked fifth in the Gu family. It is inconvenient to mention the Gu family to Old Madam Gu, so I will use "brother" instead.
In this way, she wasn't deliberately trying to please Madam Gu.
After hearing this, although Madam Gu still had some doubts and felt that Bai Qianmo's words were a bit strange, she could not completely understand them.
Ah Ye did indeed study in Country Y for many years. After he got together with Bai Ya Tou, and before she and Old Master Gu accepted Bai Qian Mo, they had actually investigated the girl's identity and learned that she was a student at JQ University at a young age and had even graduated with two doctoral degrees.
Moreover, the two had a deep entanglement abroad.
Their grandson couldn't forget this girl, and from all aspects, Bai Yatou and Seventh Brother were a good match, so the two old people were happy to see it happen.
As for the "brothers" that Bai Yatou mentioned, Madam Gu thought they were her grandson's good friends from school who had made friends during their illicit affair.
"By the way, Grandma Gu, where are Grandpa Gu and Fifth Brother?"
She went to the study before going downstairs.
She knocked on the door, but no one answered. Then she pushed the door open and went in to take a look, but Fifth Brother was not in the room.
"Seventh Brother went out for a walk with his grandfather early this morning. Speaking of which, when did A-Ye start studying medicine? Hehe, after he examined the old man last night, Grandpa Gu's blood pressure returned to normal this morning, and his energy and spirits improved a lot. As soon as it was light, he said he wanted to go out to walk the dog. I originally wanted him to rest at home for a couple of days before going out, but I didn't expect Seventh Brother to get up early as well. The two of them hit it off and went to the park near the compound for a walk."
When she talked about her husband and grandson, Madam Gu's eyes were full of smiles.
“Looking at their backs, I suddenly felt a pang of emotion. When Seventh Brother was a child, the two of them, grandfather and grandson, would often go for a walk together in the nearby park. At that time, Grandpa Gu’s back was still straight, and Seventh Brother was still a little child. It feels like just yesterday that A-Ye was an adult and Grandpa Gu was an old man with a full head of white hair.”
Recalling the past, Madam Gu sighed softly.
"Time really flies."
"Actually, growing old naturally is also good. We should be content with what we have and be grateful to everyone who has walked with us on this journey."
A glint of light flashed in Old Master Gu's eyes as he looked at Bai Qianmo with admiration.
“Little Bai, although you are young, you have a clear understanding of the ways of the world. In this respect, Seventh Brother is very similar to you.”
As the two were chatting, Grandpa Gu and his grandson Gu Jueye walked in.
Old Gu, who was always serious and rarely smiled, looked refreshed and cheerful at this moment, with joy in his eyes and brows.
"Did you find gold while you were out?" Old Madam Gu teased with a smile.
"It's much happier than finding gold! Do you remember Old Xu?"
After a moment of contemplation, a figure flashed into Madam Gu's mind.
"Is that Xu Baisheng, the number one Go player in China?"
"Is that him? Just now, Ah Ye and I went for a stroll in the park and happened to see a few old men playing Go together. The old men teamed up against Xu Baisheng alone, and after playing for more than an hour, they lost three games."
Madam Gu smiled and said, "Xu Baisheng is known in the industry as Xu Baisheng, who is undefeated in every battle. To this day, he has never met an opponent in the Go circle. I remember you lost to him three years ago."
When this was mentioned, Madam Gu couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"You were so angry that you shut yourself in for three days, insisting that you had to beat him."
