There was never a peaceful moment when they were together. Ye Zhaozhao carefully observed that Grandpa Gu looked towards the kitchen several times.
It seems that both of them care about each other, but they just can't bring themselves to confess their feelings.
Grandma Zhou cooked lunch. Gu Yunduan and Ye Zhaozhao kept Grandpa Gu company. He was very happy and ate two extra bowls of rice, something he hadn't done in a long time.
"Cloud, come visit Grandpa more often in the future."
"Grandpa, I will."
After dinner, Grandpa Gu took Tuantuan and Yuanyuan out, with Grandma Zhou following closely behind. Gu Yunduan knew without a doubt that he was going out to show off again.
Gu Yunduan has never gotten married, while the grandsons of his former comrades-in-arms are all married and have children.
These people have always boasted to Grandpa, and now that he's caught them, they'd better hurry up and show off back.
As soon as Grandpa Gu and Grandma Zhou stepped out carrying Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan, they attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone forgot about playing chess and practicing Tai Chi and rushed over here.
"Zhenhua, is this Yunduan's child?"
"Can't you see? It looks just like the clouds."
They really do look alike. Everyone had never seen such a cute child before, and they all wanted to touch him, but the old man wasn't happy about it.
"Don't touch it, did you wash your hands before touching it?"
With Grandpa Gu around, none of these people even touched him, which made everyone extremely envious, since they were twins.
"Grandpa Gu, you're so lucky. You have a filial grandson, and even your granddaughter-in-law treats you well."
"Yes, my granddaughter-in-law brought me a big bag of things this time, several bags of ginseng and he shou wu, saying that they are good for my health."
Everyone knows that Ye Zhaozhao is skilled in medicine; she previously asked Lin Yanke to bring pills to Old Master Gu.
It's clear that Grandpa Gu's energy and spirit are much better than before.
"Old Gu, could you ask your granddaughter-in-law if we could sell her some of these pills too?"
Everyone looked at Grandpa Gu expectantly, but Grandpa Gu waved his hand and said, "No, with so many people, my granddaughter-in-law will get tired."
“My granddaughter-in-law has to go to work every day, so I’m afraid she won’t have time.”
"Old Gu, just keep spoiling your grandson and granddaughter-in-law."
Everyone couldn't stand it anymore. Old Master Gu snorted. He was willing to spoil his grandson and granddaughter-in-law. Old Madam Zhou, seeing him like this, also became smug.
Everyone knows about Old Mrs. Zhou and Old Mr. Gu's story. Old Mrs. Zhou's life was not easy, and even in her old age, her children were unfilial.
However, if she can get together with Lao Gu, she can live a happy life in the future.
On their third day in Kyoto, Lin Yanke and Gu Linyuan took their child, while Gu Yunduan took Ye Zhaozhao out to play. The two of them first went to see Tiananmen Square.
They went to climb the Great Wall and visit Wangfujing Street. Gu Yunduan also took her to see a movie and eat Peking duck.
After a long day, Ye Zhaozhao was exhausted. The capital city of this era was different from that of later generations, and she really wanted to take a camera to record it.
"Honey, shall we eat at the state-run restaurant before going back?"
It was already past eight o'clock, and Lin Yan must have been resting. Ye Zhaozhao felt bad asking her to cook, so she nodded and agreed. The two of them went to the state-run restaurant.
Unexpectedly, they ran into acquaintances. Liu Xiujuan was also surprised to see the two of them. Ye Zhaozhao ignored her and went to the other side with Gu Yunduan.
Seeing that Ye Zhaozhao pretended not to know her, Liu Xiujuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing Liu Xiujuan's expression, Ye Zhaozhao knew that she had come for a blind date. Liu Xiuli was quick to act, but they really knew how to come up with a blind date at night.
Liu Xiujuan had a good impression of this person, and the other person seemed to think she was also nice. After the two finished eating and stood up to leave, Liu Xiujuan collapsed to the ground again.
Ye Zhaozhao sighed. Liu Xiujuan really messed up at crucial moments; her ability to fall to the ground was getting better and better every day.
The man was terrified when he saw this situation for the first time. The staff from the state-run restaurant also came out, and Ye Zhaozhao put down her chopsticks.
First, we need to wake her up. Liu Xiujuan woke up, but the man ran away. She was fed up with her illness and didn't care if she was outside.
She burst into tears, and everyone tried to persuade her to stop, but Liu Xiujuan wouldn't listen. Ye Zhaozhao went back to eat.
Seeing that Ye Zhaozhao was only focused on eating and didn't even come to comfort her, Liu Xiujuan felt more and more upset. Suddenly, she walked up to Ye Zhaozhao and pleaded.
"Comrade Ye, I was wrong about what happened before. Please forgive my mistake and help me out."
Ye Zhaozhao saved her both times, which made Liu Xiujuan believe that Ye Zhaozhao could cure her illness.
"I just helped you. Now that you're awake, you can go back."
Liu Xiujuan almost knelt down before Ye Zhaozhao.
"Comrade Ye, I want to get my illness cured."
The moment the man ran away, Liu Xiujuan had already decided that she had to get her illness cured first, otherwise it would be the same no matter how many blind dates she went on.
Seeing that she had figured it out, Ye Zhaozhao told the truth.
“I didn’t bring any medicine with me to Beijing this time. I need to go back to the military region to send it to you. But let me make it clear beforehand, this medicine is not cheap.”
Ye Zhaozhao gets her medicinal herbs from the market. She charges only a small fee for the medicine for some patients who need it, but she charges Liu Xiujuan a large sum.
"No problem, Comrade Ye, thank you."
Liu Xiujuan left with tears streaming down her face. With the annoying guy gone, Gu Yunduan and Ye Zhaozhao ate their meal in peace.
When Liu Xiujuan returned, Liu Xiuli grabbed her.
"Why didn't you say you were sick sooner? You made me explain to people for so long."
"Cousin, it's my fault, but don't worry, my illness will be cured soon."
Liu Xiuli didn't believe her at all. "What kind of minor illness could scare a man away?" Liu Xiujuan continued.
“Zhao Zhao has agreed to help me get treatment. Cousin, you don’t know, Zhao Zhao is really good at treating patients. She saved me both times I had an attack.”
"Ye Zhaozhao?"
"yes."
Liu Xiuli didn't expect it to be Ye Zhaozhao. She was afraid her cousin would be fooled, but Liu Xiujuan wouldn't listen to her. She was going to study now. She had made up her mind that she had to get into the sugar factory.
——
Tomorrow is New Year's Day, and Lin Yanke took Ye Zhaozhao to Friendship Store to buy things today, and Liu Xiuli insisted on coming along.
“Your second sister-in-law works here. Just tell her what you want to buy later.”
"good."
The three of them first went to find Zhu Lin. Seeing that Ye Zhaozhao wanted to buy clothes, Zhu Lin recommended several women's ready-to-wear outfits to her.
"Zhaozhao, give it a try."
"good."
Ye Zhaozhao gained a little weight after giving birth. She was originally quite thin, but now she looks just right. The outfit she's wearing is a pink coat.
It made her skin appear even fairer, and the sales clerks next to her were also amazed when they saw the dress; they wanted to buy one too.
"This woman looks really good in that coat."
"Yes, it's so beautiful."
Liu Xiuli felt resentful when she heard everyone praising Ye Zhaozhao, and she chimed in with her own words.
"What's so pretty about it? Pink is for young girls. She's a mother of two. This color doesn't suit her."
As soon as she finished speaking, the people trying on clothes stopped and looked at Liu Xiuli. Ye Zhaozhao chuckled to herself, "Serves you right for talking too much."
Liu Xiuli wanted to explain further, but a sales clerk next to her spoke up.
