Since they are friends, the age difference shouldn't be too great.
If we speculate, Dugu Yi's parents were probably still children when that shipwreck occurred.
The two children lived together on that deserted island, relying on each other. How difficult must it have been at first?
But compared to the fact that most of the people on the ship perished at sea, the few who were lucky enough to survive seemed to have little to do with the hardships.
Gu Beiwang closed his eyes briefly before opening them again:
"Dugu Yi, what else do you remember? Did your parents leave you any messages?"
Dugu Yi shook his head.
Indeed, the family of three had lived on the island for almost their entire lives, never seeing any hope. Naturally, any expectations that might have once existed in their hearts had long been worn away by disappointment and despair.
The old man of the Gu family and the director and his son remained silent for a long time until Meimei came in from outside, which broke the silence of the old house's living room.
"Dad, everything is arranged."
The old man nodded:
"That's all arranged. What time is it? Old Cao next door invited me to play chess this afternoon."
"12:40, it's still early," Meimei replied with a smile.
However, the old man stood up abruptly:
"What do you mean 'early'? We made an appointment for one o'clock. If we're late, there won't be any good seats left." As he spoke, the old man lifted his foot to leave.
Fortunately, the old man's three meals are always on time; otherwise, he probably wouldn't even bother to eat!
The back garden of the compound is almost always occupied by the elderly men and women. Some play cards, some play chess, some dance, and occasionally someone plays the erhu or practices calligraphy...
It has to be said that the lives of these retired cadres in the compound are quite colorful!
The back garden is only so big, and there are only so many good spots, so you really have to go early, otherwise you won't have a chance to get one.
Previously, Grandpa Gu had even brought a certain little guy over several times to help him grab a spot.
So far, apart from the old man, it seems that this matter has not been exposed yet!
The old man, who had already stepped out the door, thought that his adorable little girl would be arriving soon, and then... she could help him grab a spot again, right?
Oh.
Those old men usually fight tooth and nail, but when their little darling makes a move, they all have to give way.
Sure enough, the Gu family, from top to bottom, had long been calculating their own agendas.
Inside the old house, Gu Beiwang finally stopped twitching at the corner of his mouth:
"Sister-in-law, is Grandpa... always like this?"
Dean Gu has rarely been home in recent years, so he really didn't know about this situation.
Meimei smiled and nodded:
"yes!"
Gu Beiwang couldn't help but laugh:
"By the way, who did the little guy come to the capital with?" I asked.
Meimei immediately frowned:
"Oh dear, I didn't ask that. Could it be that the little guy came by himself?"
These words caused Dean Gu to pause in surprise, and his face instantly darkened.
"Call them right away and ask."
Meimei is still quite timid when her brother-in-law is angry:
"Okay, I'll call right away."
The phone was right next to her, and Meimei ran over in a flash and dialed the number for X.
Once connected, they were even more blunt:
"Where's Gao Dan? Is he there?"
The person who answered the phone was startled by the fierce tone:
"Excuse me, hello, may I ask who you are?"
He came in and immediately said he wanted to see the boss, and even addressed the boss by his full name.
