Gu Shi simply smiled and said, "Sure! I'll have someone take care of it for you!"
After leaving the factory, he went home and found that Lin Qingyu hadn't returned, so he went out to look for her.
After such a big incident today, and the subsequent reorganization of the brick factory, Gu Shi originally didn't plan to go home.
Even in the dim light, Lin Qingyu could see the stubble on Gu Shi's chin.
Gu Shi must be exhausted these past few days!
Lin Qingyu immediately realized that Gu Shi was too tired, so she kept talking to him, afraid that he would fall asleep from exhaustion.
Fortunately, the drive wasn't long, and we arrived at our new home quickly.
Li Xiuhua was worried all day. Lin Qingyu didn't look well when she went out, so she was on tenterhooks all day.
Now that I see that the person has finally returned, my heart, which had been hanging in suspense, can finally rest.
She stood at the doorway, and asked Lin Qingyu with concern, "Qingyu, are you alright?"
Zhang Juan, holding her child, stood at the door and stayed with Li Xiuhua the whole time.
Lin Qingyu glanced at Gu Jue, then waved to Li Xiuhua.
"It's nothing, Mom! I just haven't been to a restaurant in a long time, so I thought I'd check it out today. I didn't expect business to be so good lately, that's why I'm back so late!"
As she spoke, her voice grew softer and softer, because she saw that Gu Jue had fallen asleep.
Although Gu Jue is not even ten months old, he has already started calling out "Dad" and "Mom," which is considered quite early for him to learn to speak.
She's incredibly curious every day and loves going out to play. It's quite a challenge for one person to take care of her.
After going out to play, I went to bed quite early every day, falling asleep around eight or nine o'clock.
Lin Qingyu then whispered to Zhang Juan, "Aunt Zhang, why don't you take Xiao Bei inside to sleep?"
Gu Xichao calls him Xiaobao, and Gu Jue calls him Xiaobei.
Zhang Juan nodded in agreement, then turned and took the child into the house to sleep.
The people standing at the door went inside, and in that short time, Lin Qingyu had two bite marks on her arm.
"It's so itchy! Why are these mosquitoes targeting me specifically?!"
She sat on the sofa, both arms bitten, scratching them in a crisscross pattern.
Gu Shi didn't say anything, but got up again as soon as he sat down.
Li Xiuhua said irritably, "You've always attracted mosquitoes since you were little. As long as you're around, no one else will get bitten by mosquitoes!"
"Mom, you're still blaming me! It's so itchy!"
The more Lin Qingyu scratched, the itchier it became, and the more it itched, the more she scratched until the skin where the mosquito had bitten broke open.
Li Xiuhua casually picked up a clove of garlic from the small coffee table, peeled it, and said to Lin Qingyu.
"There's no good way to fix it, just bear with it, it hurts a little!"
As he spoke, he was about to use a severed clove of garlic to disinfect Lin Qingyu's wounds, which startled Lin Qingyu so much that she wanted to dodge while also trying to stop the itching.
At this moment, Gu Shi came over, holding a white bottle in his hand, the contents of which were unknown.
"Mother! I'll apply it to Qingyu. This is the medicine the doctor prescribed; it's quite effective."
Gu Shi's words were more effective than an imperial edict to Li Xiuhua.
So she quickly got up, gave up her seat on the sofa, and then went straight back to her bedroom so as not to disturb the young couple.
Lin Qingyu looked at Gu Shi's hands as he applied the medicine to her hands, and immediately felt a pang of heartache again.
Although we all grew up in the countryside, it's perfectly normal for us to have calluses on our hands.
However, the calluses on Gu Shi's hands were never from doing farm work.
These calluses are the result of years of running various factories and personally working on them.
"alright."
As Gu Shi finished speaking, Lin Qingyu realized that the mosquito bites no longer itched at all.
"What kind of medicine is this? How come it's so effective?"
Lin Qingyu picked it up and glanced at it. Even though she had things like mosquito coils in her space, she really didn't have anything to relieve itching.
“You forgot, Xiao Bao made this. He gave it to me after you mentioned it last time.”
When Gu Shi mentioned it, Lin Qingyu remembered.
This topic came up during a family chat last Chinese New Year when Gu Xichao returned home.
"I never expected Xiao Bao to be so thoughtful. His future wife is going to be very lucky!"
Lin Qingyu said it casually, not noticing that Gu Shi's expression turned ugly for a moment.
When night fell and everyone in the villa was asleep, Gu Shi's eyes remained open in the darkness.
He recalled what Lin Qingyu had just said and pondered what he had done wrong.
Still unable to figure it out, he simply turned over and stared at Lin Qingyu in the moonlight.
Lin Qingyu just turned over at that moment, and the instant she opened her eyes, she saw Gu Shi's eyes.
That one move startled her so much that she sat up abruptly.
Why aren't you asleep yet?!
Lin Qingyu rubbed her eyes and saw that Gu Shi was very energetic and did not look like a sleeping person at all.
After thinking for a while, Gu Shi finally spoke his mind.
Unexpectedly, Lin Qingyu suddenly laughed after hearing this.
"Haha, Gu Shi, why are you still so jealous? I just praised your little nephew a few times, why are you taking it so seriously?"
Gu Shi remained silent, and Lin Qingyu wondered if his face had already turned red.
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Go to sleep, you have to go to the brick factory tomorrow!"
Lin Qingyu pulled Gu Shi to continue sleeping. It was such a hot day, but thankfully there was a ceiling fan, which helped her fall asleep.
Gu Shi verbally agreed to go to sleep, but secretly he couldn't fall asleep.
The next day, when Lin Qingyu opened her eyes, Gu Shi's appearance was too obvious.
"You didn't sleep all night!"
She didn't even want to ask anymore; even if she did, Gu Shi wouldn't tell the truth.
Just as Gu Shi was about to start making excuses, Lin Qingyu continued.
"You still have to go to the brick factory to work today. How can I feel at ease letting you go like this?"
At this point, she was actually a little angry.
Gu Shi always relied on his youth and good health to endure anything.
She still remembered that in her previous life, Gu Shi's health was already very poor when he was only in his forties.
Although she tried her best to prevent Gu Shi from staying up late and urged him to maintain a regular schedule, Gu Shi still insisted on doing it himself!
"Don't go today. Anyway, the brick factory will be shut down for a day or a month, whether it's closed or not!"
Gu Shi got out of bed immediately, somewhat anxiously saying, "That won't do!"
"Why not? The brick factory issue has been resolved, all that's left is to reopen it. Besides, you don't have any customers yet, so you won't make any money even if you open the kiln!"
Lin Qingyu argued that she was worried about Gu Shi, who hadn't slept all night, going to work at the brick factory.
“I have an appointment with someone today. The boss wants to personally inspect the brick factory, and I can’t refuse.”
As Gu Shi spoke, he got out of bed, threw on some clothes, and headed out.
"Don't rush! I'll go with you, okay?"
