Autumn 1993, Imperial Capital.
Gu Yu'an was walking slowly on the road with his bag. Yesterday, his father told him that Dad Lu would prepare dinner and leave it on the table. Today, they were not at home, so he had to remember to eat when he came back alone.
"An An!"
Just as Gu Yu'an reached the alley entrance, he heard a familiar voice behind him. Turning around, he saw Lu Haoyu and rushed over to him, "Ayu, you're back."
Seeing him rushing towards him, Lu Haoyu hurried forward to catch the person who rushed over: "Well, be careful, what if you fall down in a hurry."
"Go home first." Then he continued, "Fifth Uncle and Uncle are out?"
"Well, after Grandpa Zheng retired, Dad would go to the hospital a few days every month to help with the consultations. Father Lu went to bring Dad some food."
Gu Yu'an held her bag, pursed her lips, and asked, "Ayu, are you going on another mission in a few days?"
"Yes, we'll leave in a few days." Lu Haoyu nodded, took the bag from Gu Yu'an's hand, and then pushed open the door.
After the two grew up, Lu Zhenchuan packed up the two children and kicked them out of the house.
How could Gu Ranzhou not know what Lu Zhenchuan was thinking after being together for many years? Besides, he had already cleaned up the next door and built a door for convenience when he came back. Now that he was an adult, it was time for him to have his own little family.
The two of them came to the dining table. Gu Yu'an brought two sets of bowls and chopsticks and couldn't help but ask, "Then... when will you be back?" Then he handed over the bowls and chopsticks.
Lu Haoyu helplessly put his hand on Gu Yu'an's head and rubbed his fluffy hair, but without much explanation, he just called out: "An'an..."
Lu Haoyu took Gu Yuan's bowl and chopsticks, then served Gu Yuan a bowl of rice and placed it in front of him, and then served himself a bowl.
Gu Yu'an asked casually. He knew in his heart that in his brother's line of work, he shouldn't ask too much about his brother's work. "I understand."
"Is that enough to eat? If not, I'll take you to a restaurant."
Gu Yu'an nodded, then looked at the food on the table. It was definitely enough for him, but it might not be enough for Haoyu to eat with him, because he knew Haoyu had a big appetite. "That's enough, Yu. If you're not full, we can go to a restaurant."
"It's okay, just eat it. If you're not full, go get some fried vegetables. There should be seasonal vegetables in the yard." Lu Haoyu picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and handed it to Gu Yu'an.
However, Lu Haoyu still has to be the one to cook, and Gu Yuan can only help get the seasonings.
Gu Yu'an had the ambition to cook. He thought that everyone in his family could cook, especially his father, whose cooking was the best, so he must be able to cook such delicious dishes. However, he just boiled the pot and poured oil into it when he entered the kitchen, then put the meat in the pot. Within seconds, the meat was burnt.
From then on, Gu Yu'an thought about learning how to cook, but he just couldn't learn it no matter how hard he tried. He almost always burned the pan every time he tried to cook. So Gu Ranzhou simply didn't let him enter the kitchen and just asked him to sit at the table and wait for food.
Seeing Gu Yu'an's absent-minded look, Lu Haoyu worried that he might be unhappy and asked, "What's wrong with An'an?"
Gu Yu'an took a bite of the dish, shook his head and explained, "It's nothing, I just remembered the first time I cooked."
Lu Haoyu smiled when he heard that, and his thoughts couldn't help but fall on that incident. When Xu Yulan caught them doing that, there was a big mess in the family.
"I disagree. This bastard has studied for so many years, but all he's learned is nothing." Lu Zhenlang slammed the table angrily and said, "You bastard! Even rabbits don't eat grass near their burrows. How dare you do that?"
It is no exaggeration to say that the sky is falling for the second wife after this incident.
Although Xu Yulan was a little angry, she wasn't about to throw a tantrum like her husband. Instead, she felt a little sorry for Gu Yu'an: "Why are you yelling? The children are still here!"
"Wife, I..." Lu Zhenlang looked at his fearless youngest son standing aside, then at Gu Yu'an standing timidly on the other side. He couldn't bring himself to curse, so he could only use the most direct approach: "No, wife, you must separate them. I'll throw this bastard into the army and temper him."
Lu Haoyu comforted An An beside him, then turned around and shouted to his father, "Dad."
Lu Zhenlang was already furious, and the sound of this bastard made him even angrier: "Shut up right there! How can I hold my head up in front of Lao Wu after what I did today?"
Seeing this, Lu Haoyu knew that he couldn't convince his father, so he could only look at his mother and say, "Mom, my uncle already knew about this."
"Forget it, since you said that, I don't care anymore. It's up to you."
Lu Zhenlang said he didn't care, but the next day he sent Lu Haoyu to the army.
…
After they finished their meal and washed the dishes, they went back to rest.
The sunset slowly sets!
Boom boom boom…
A man outside came to the gate and knocked on it, "Xiao Yu! Xiao Yu!"
"Who is it?" Gu Yu'an was annoyed by the noise outside the door. He pulled the quilt up to cover his head and wrapped himself in the quilt to reduce the noise.
Lu Haoyu also heard the noise outside. Seeing Gu Yu'an's impatient look, he knew that he might have made a big fuss at noon. He hurried to comfort her and went back to sleep: "It's okay, it's okay. I'll go check on her. An'an, you go back to sleep."
Gu Yu'an heard Lu Haoyu rolling around on the bed, and suddenly remembered something and hurriedly sat up. His hand accidentally touched the bedside table: "Hiss!"
Lu Haoyu asked anxiously: "What's wrong? Did you bump into something? Does it hurt?" He quickly grabbed his hand, looked at it carefully, and then slowly rubbed it.
Although Gu Yu'an's hand was a little sore, he didn't care much. "No, I suddenly remembered that I had something unfinished and overslept."
"It's urgent. I'll take you there."
Gu Yu'an quickly put on his clothes, then said to Lu Haoyu, "Okay, maybe I won't be back tonight!"
Hearing this, Lu Haoyu frowned and asked, "What's the hurry?"
"It's a small research project, almost finished. I'll just stay up all night tonight and finish it."
"I'm sorry to have to put you through this tonight." Gu Yu'an kissed him and said with heartache.
"Um."
"Xiao Yu..." Lu Haonan knocked a few times but found that no one came to open the door. He thought to himself that this was not right. Logically speaking, shouldn't his brother have returned long ago? There shouldn't be anyone at home! He prepared to knock again.
Lu Haoyu's voice suddenly came from inside: "Brother, stop knocking."
After a while, Lu Haoyu opened the door. Lu Haonan touched his nose awkwardly and said, "Why did you lock the door in broad daylight?" Although he was joking, his tone was a little insufficient.
Lu Haoyu looked at his brother coldly and uttered two words: "Rest."
Gu Yu'an put on his clothes and walked out of the house and called out to Lu Haonan, "Brother Nan."
When Lu Haonan saw Gu Yu'an, he said in surprise: "Oh, An An is at home too!" As far as he knew, An An should be in the small laboratory now. Could it be that the experiment was successful?
