As soon as he walked out of the station, Gu Lei was shocked by the scene in front of him. It turned out that the place where his second sister-in-law lived was so prosperous. This was the place where his second brother and sister-in-law longed to live, and he seemed to yearn for it too.
Gu Feng thought that his father-in-law and mother-in-law would definitely be at work today, so he would take Gu Lei for a walk and wait for them to get off work to go over there, so as to avoid being seen waiting at the door. So he didn't care about Gu Lei's fuss.
"Brother, this is where my second sister-in-law lived. No wonder you want to live here. I like it here too."
"Yes, it's very prosperous, isn't it? There are many things I haven't seen before."
"Hmm, no wonder my second sister-in-law knows so much?"
"If you want to stay here, you have to work harder than others. People here work very hard. If you can't be better than them, why should you stay?"
Gu Lei wanted to try his best to stay. "Brother, I will definitely work harder."
As the two were talking, they heard someone shouting, "Gu Feng, over here, Gu Feng is over here."
"Second brother, someone called you?"
Gu Feng looked in the direction of the voice. Wasn't that his father-in-law and mother-in-law? Why didn't they come to pick them up after work? They quickly ran over with Gu Feng.
"Mom and Dad, aren't you at work today? Why are you here?"
"Why do you have so many things? You have to pick them up when you come here. I'm not very busy today. Let's go home and you must be tired."
"Mom and Dad, we're not tired. We thought you were at work, so we just wandered around and came back later. We didn't expect you to come."
Sitting in the car, Lu Jianguo drove very slowly. Gu Lei kept his eyes fixed on the outside, the hawkers, the busy streets, and the buses that came and went. Gu Lei thought that this was probably the place where everyone longed to live.
He felt very good at the station, but he didn't expect that this place was even more prosperous, beyond his imagination, and even the houses were so beautiful.
When the car stopped, a two-story Western-style building came into view. Gu Lei wondered if he would live here in the future. It felt like a dream.
Walking into the house, he saw a simple and elegant decoration. Gu Lei thought it was pretty good. He thought it would be like a castle in a fairy tale.
"Gu Feng, you sleep in Wanwan's room. The room next to Wanwan has been cleaned up. The bed and wardrobe are new. Fan Yao has been living there before. If Gu Lei doesn't mind, you can sleep in that room."
"Mother Lu, I don't mind."
"That's good. If you mind, you can only sleep in the guest room downstairs. There are five rooms upstairs. There are two rooms on the left and three rooms on the right. We sleep in the innermost room. Next to it is Mu Fan's room. The one next to the stairs is the study."
"There are four rooms downstairs. The innermost one is Mu Fan's study, the outermost one is where the nanny Zhang lives, and the other two are guest rooms. If you need anything while we're not at home, just go to Zhang."
After Mrs. Lu's introduction, Gu Lei at least knew what each room was used for, otherwise he would not know what so many rooms were used for.
They sat in the living room and rested for a while. It was already past five o'clock. Seeing them sitting and chatting, Aunt Zhang brought them a fruit plate.
"Auntie Zhang, let me introduce you. This is Gu Feng's younger brother, Gu Lei. He's staying at home for a while. Please take care of him while the child is still young."
"Okay, just call me if you have any problems in the future. Madam, don't worry, I will take good care of him."
Gu Lei didn't know what to say so he just greeted her, "Hello, Aunt Zhang."
"This child looks so well-behaved. Sir and Madam, I'm going to go cook first. Do you have any dietary restrictions?"
"Auntie, if you don't have any dietary restrictions, just do whatever you want."
Gu Feng said it was casual, but the aunt was not casual at all. The six dishes and one soup, both meat and vegetables, were perfectly matched, making it seem neither too grand nor too unimportant.
Gu Lei looked at it and thought, "Is this just any dish?" Braised pork, sweet and sour spare ribs, braised fish, stir-fried beans, braised eggplant, tomato beef brisket, and egg soup.
After dinner, Mother Lu asked Gu Feng to take Gu Lei to the room for a break, and to take them out for a walk and get familiar with the route the next day or the day after tomorrow. Lu Jianguo would accompany them to report the day after tomorrow.
Gu Feng had been here before and knew the location, so he took Gu Lei up there directly. "Gu Lei, that's your room. Stay in this room. If you need anything, just call us. I'll take you to see it first."
Gu Lei was stunned when he entered the room. Was this his room? There was a large double bed that looked soft, a large wardrobe, and a desk with a lamp on it. Most importantly, there was a toilet inside. How convenient!
"Brother, is this my room? Do I live alone?"
"Yes, it's best to avoid going to the stairs and Brother Mu Fan's study. Stay free in your own room."
"Brother, I understand."
"Go to bed early. Call me if you need anything. Remember to pay attention to the road when you go out tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Don't get lost on your way to school by yourself."
"Brother, I know, I would never do such a shameful thing."
"This is five hundred yuan. Your sister-in-law gave it to you. Keep it for spending. You have more things to spend money on outside than at home."
"Brother, Mom gave me 200 yuan before she left. It's enough for me. I have food and accommodation here, so I basically don't need any money."
"Buy study materials and other things you need for study, and keep the rest for yourself. We can't send them to you when you need them from such a long distance, and you'll definitely be embarrassed to ask for them."
"Thank you, second brother. I will keep it."
"Use it when you need to, and don't let people think you're stingy, because that will make it hard for you to fit in."
"I see."
"You take a good rest, I'll go downstairs to take a look."
Gu Feng went downstairs and saw his parents-in-law sitting on the sofa watching TV. "Mom and Dad, you haven't rested yet?"
"No, we're not in a hurry. Let's watch some TV first. See if you need anything else?"
