Finally, he couldn't bear it until the next day, and Qingqing was discharged from the hospital that night.
The blood draw still scared her. The little girl kept sobbing and crying softly, and couldn't sleep peacefully. As soon as she lay down, she would be awakened and continue crying.
There was no other way, Gu Lan could only pack up Qingqing's things, then call someone to collect the rest, and he took Qingqing out of the hospital first.
The pediatrician who handled the discharge procedures for them was speechless. Did they really think the hospital was a hotel and they could come and go as they pleased?
In the end, they really left.
The moment he walked out of the hospital gate, Gu Lan could clearly feel that Qingqing's little body relaxed a lot.
He raised his lips slightly and pinched Qingqing's little face affectionately: "You are the most troublesome."
"Hehe..." After leaving the hospital that scared the baby, Qingqing now saw everything as beautiful.
Even if her face was pinched, she could think that her brother was playing with her, laughing happily.
Gu Lan held Qingqing in his arms and got into the car. He wanted to send her to the Fu family, but then he changed his mind and thought, why should he always send his own sister to someone else's house?
So Gu Lan took Qingqing home.
Not the house he bought outside, but...
the ancestral home of the Gu family.
The ancestral home of the Gu family was very quiet. In addition to the housekeeper, there were only a few old servants left.
Gu's parents didn't live here, because the house was filled with the old lady's aura, which made Gu's mother feel disgusted instinctively.
If she had expected to be in charge of the house legitimately at the beginning, she hated it even more now.
She wanted to burn the whole house to ashes.
But this is where Gu Qingqing and Gu Lan grew up.
Their grandmother died early, and their parents didn't care about them, so they were raised by the old housekeeper of the ancestral house.
Speaking of this old housekeeper, he has quite a history.
The old man had been with Madam Gu since childhood, accompanying her through countless years, witnessing every important moment in her life, and watching her from getting married and having children to the final death of her husband and son, and finally dying of depression.
After Madam Gu died, the old housekeeper took care of Qingqing attentively according to her last wishes.
She was old at the time, and it was a bit tiring to take care of a child, even if it was a well-behaved child.
Fortunately, Aunt Ding was there, but unfortunately Aunt Ding was driven away by the lady later.
Later, Qingqing grew up alone and had a younger brother. However, the little girl was quite responsible as a sister. Even if
she said she disliked it, she was very good at changing her brother's diapers and making milk powder.
It's just that this kind of thing has to be done in secret, and occasionally when she is caught, she still stubbornly retorts that she feels sick when she sees these things and wants to throw them away, not for the sake of taking care of her brother or something .
Little does she know that the rosy little face that can't hide the color at all has exposed everything.
After a long time, even if the nanny who takes care of the young master finds that he has eaten or his diaper has been changed, she will no longer be surprised.
She just smiles knowingly, and then sympathizes with a little girl who is hard-mouthed but soft-hearted, pretending that she didn't notice anything.
When Gu Lan entered the ancestral home with Qingqing in his arms, he heard the old housekeeper sitting on a lounge chair in the garden, enjoying the night breeze and muttering to himself about the past.
Especially when she mentioned the process of being secretly taken care of by a hypocritical and arrogant girl during her infancy, which she was unaware of, she couldn't help but smile.
It turned out that his sister had been taking care of him since he was so young.
As if hearing the footsteps behind him, the old man paused in his old and distant murmurs, and then slowly stood up and turned around.
He saw the grown-up young master standing behind him holding the young eldest lady. The little girl was still looking at her curiously with a pair of innocent big eyes, as if she remembered something, but seemed unable to remember it for a while. The
old housekeeper was so excited that his hands covered with age spots trembled, and he hurriedly took a few steps to meet him.
"Big... Big Miss, Young Master, you didn't even call to tell me when you were coming back so I could have someone clean the house. You came without any warning and without any preparation. It's really..." The
old housekeeper was so angry that she almost wanted to scold someone, but she didn't scold Gu Lan and Qingqing who came home suddenly. This was their home, and they could come back whenever they wanted.
She wanted to scold those lazy servants in the house who didn't even know that the master had returned.
The big lady and young master finally came back once, they should have cleaned the house three times inside and out, and then asked people to get more flowers, light incense, and ask everyone to line up at the door to welcome them home in a grand manner!
"No need, housekeeper. We are just going home, not doing anything. There is no need to make such a big scene."
Gu Lan stopped the old housekeeper's fantasy with a smile. It turned out that the old man had just said all his thoughts.
"I know it's unnecessary. I'm just saying it."
The old housekeeper pouted childishly. Although she said so, her expression was filled with regret that could not be concealed.
"Housekeeper."
At this time, Qingqing, whose memory was loaded, finally recognized who the old lady in front of her was.
"Oh, my eldest lady, how come you are still so cute."
The old housekeeper happily touched Qingqing's little face with his old hands, but did not hug her.
She is already a hundred years old this year and can no longer hold her eldest daughter.
In fact, she is called the old housekeeper, because all the affairs in the ancestral house of the Gu family have long been handed over to another middle-aged male housekeeper.
It’s just that the old housekeeper has no relatives or children, and she has nowhere to go after leaving the Gu family. Gu Qingqing simply made the decision to let her stay in the ancestral house to be supported as an elder of the Gu family.
So the old housekeeper is still the housekeeper of the Gu family in name, but in reality she is already the owner of the house.
Except for the necessary maintenance personnel, the rest of the staff left in the old house were mostly hired to take care of the old housekeeper. It’s
Gu Qingqing’s fault that she left, and no one else in the Gu family can say anything.
Even Gu’s mother, who doesn’t like the old housekeeper, can’t drive her away.
Because the names of Gu Qingqing and Gu Lan are written on the ancestral home of the Gu family.
That's right, this is also the reason why Gu's mother hates living in the ancestral house, because this is not her house.
Gu Lan doesn't care who lives in the ancestral house, and he was raised by the old housekeeper, so the question of whether the old housekeeper stays or leaves is entirely up to Gu Qingqing.
"Are you hungry, Miss? Can the housekeeper make you some glutinous rice balls?" The old housekeeper said as she wanted to go to the kitchen.
"Okay, Qingqing wants stuffed glutinous rice balls." The glutinous rice balls made by the housekeeper are delicious. Qingqing can't help drooling when she mentions them.
"Okay, okay, I've been wrapping it, waiting for the day when the eldest lady comes home to cook it for you, but you've had to wait too long this time."
The last murmur was barely audible, but in such a quiet night, it still blew into Gu Lan's ears with the night wind.
He unconsciously tightened his arms around Qingqing, causing Qingqing to raise her eyes in confusion. Gu Lan pressed her back like a mole and followed the housekeeper silently.
In fact, he was quite unfilial when he thought about it.
Gu Qingqing knew that she had to come back to the ancestral home regularly to see the housekeeper, but he hadn't come back even once since he moved out.
Why wasn't Gu Lan surprised that the housekeeper could recognize Qingqing?
That's because there's already a precedent of Aunt Ding. Old people always seem to be able to see things that others can't see, and these two old people are the only two elders who have truly cared for them in their memories.
Maybe there was a grandmother?
Unfortunately, the grandmother passed away before Gu Qingqing was born.
If she hadn't died so early, would he and Qingqing have had a better childhood?
No, no, that's the nature of parents. Even if they didn't know their grandmother's will, they would have turned against them because of something else.
Because he and Gu Qingqing are not the kind of people who accept things passively.
Besides, there are no ifs in this world.
After not being back for so long, Gu Lan unexpectedly discovered that the kitchen of the ancestral home was so far away.
It took nearly ten minutes to walk from the garden.
As soon as the housekeeper entered, she quickly opened the refrigerator and took out a pile of glutinous rice balls that she had wrapped herself.
There were also various dumplings and buns in it, all made by the housekeeper herself, waiting for Gu Qingqing to come home to eat them. As a result, she waited too long and had accumulated so many without realizing it.
This is the result of some of the dishes being left for too long and being cleaned up.
Seeing that the old lady wanted to light the fire and cook, Gu Lan quickly put Qingqing down and asked her to hold the housekeeper, while he grabbed the pots and bowls and prepared to do it himself.
Gu Lan felt guilty about letting a centenarian cook in person while he stayed by the side and watched.
"Housekeeper, housekeeper, Qingqing wants to hear a story."
When she was little, Qingqing loved to listen to stories told by the old housekeeper. She still remembers this.
Hesitantly looking at the young master who was already skillfully turning on the fire to boil water, the old housekeeper finally couldn't stand Qingqing's clinging, so she took her hand and took her to sit at the dining table, telling her a story from a long, long time ago.
Qingqing was so absorbed in listening that she didn't even know when Gu Lan had cooked the glutinous rice balls.
Gu Lan served a bowl for himself, Qingqing and the housekeeper, but the housekeeper only pushed her bowl of glutinous rice balls to an empty corner.
"I'm old, and I can't digest glutinous rice at night. You guys should eat it."
Gu Lan tried to persuade her, but he couldn't persuade her, so he stopped talking.
The filling of the glutinous rice balls is very sweet. Gu Lan deliberately didn't add sugar when cooking, so that it tasted just the right sweetness and not too greasy.
The glutinous rice balls made by the old housekeeper were really delicious. Qingqing ate a bowl by herself, and it was not enough so she asked for half a bowl more.
She kept saying that she could eat two more bowls, but Gu Lan was afraid that she would have food accumulation, so he didn't dare to give her too much.
In fact, there are only seven or eight pills in a bowl.
After eating, Qingqing's belly was bulging. The old housekeeper touched it, and then got up and took out a can of homemade hawthorn cake from the cabinet.
"Miss, eat a little, it will help digestion.",,...,...:
