Seeing Gu Lei come back in the evening, the family was very happy that Gu Lei had met such a good friend.
At dinner that night, Gu Lei felt that he had to tell his second sister-in-law and the others about this matter. "Second sister-in-law, Xue Kai wants to meet his cousin, his wife, and you."
"You want to see us? Why?"
"Xue Kai said he wanted to see how the top student lives, and whether he lives like an ordinary person. Xue Kai's family seems to be well off, and he actually envied us for having such a large family. He said he has always been alone in his family."
"We just look like this, and we became top students through hard work. But you can invite him to our house. We have a big family."
"I think he's quite lonely. He hasn't met his parents since he came out. I saw the awards in his room. He used to be a good student."
"I knew he wasn't a bad person the first time I saw him, so I asked him to find you. I think you two will become good friends."
"Second sister-in-law is really good at judging people? Then why did he always skip classes and fight before? I thought he..."
Gu Lei hesitated and didn't say it, but Lu Wanwan knew what he wanted to say?
"Maybe he just wants to get his parents' attention? You can see that his parents don't care about him at all. He wants to get his parents' love and care through these rebellious behaviors, but his parents don't understand and think he's immature."
"I suddenly felt so sorry for Xue Kai. Are his parents really that busy?"
"Maybe I don't know how to educate my child. I still don't know how to communicate with him, and the problem is getting worse."
"It's okay. He doesn't want to be alone so I'll spend more time with him."
"Let him come to our house more often. As for his parents, we can't change their minds."
When Lu Wanwan saw Xue Kai, he knew that her parents didn't know what they were doing, but they had failed to educate their child. What a good child! She hoped Gu Lei could make him more optimistic. He looked like he was smiling all day long, but he was actually the most fragile inside.
The next day, Gu Feng called Gu Lei to go buy New Year's goods. Although his father-in-law and mother-in-law would not come this year, they did not need you to prepare everything. Their family also had a lot of things to prepare, and buying New Year's goods was a very meaningful thing.
Although they could get it from the space, their family didn't buy anything and lacked nothing, so the villagers would definitely be suspicious. So Gu Lei took Gu Lei with him, and everyone else seemed to be very busy.
"Second brother, why do you want to take me with you?"
"I think you have the most free time, and you can help me carry things. I originally wanted to ask your sister-in-law to accompany me, but it's too cold outside."
Gu Lei wondered if he wasn't cold? Was he just carrying things? Chatting with his second brother was so painful. Couldn't he just say he missed him? But if his second brother said he missed him, it would probably be scary.
The two of them bought peanuts, candies, cakes, and dried goods. Finally, they bought some vegetables and fruits. Even with these few things, the two of them were already carrying a lot of things.
"Gu Lei, we have to come again tomorrow to buy some meat. We can't get it today."
"Brother, didn't our family slaughter a pig? Do we still need to buy meat?"
"Let's buy some chicken, duck, fish, beef, mutton, and so on, and eat a little of everything."
"Brother, we have more and more abundant food to eat during the New Year."
"You ate less before you started talking too much."
Gu Lei quickly said "No."
"Don't say such things in front of your sister-in-law."
"I know, second brother."
Gu Lei thought to himself that his second brother just doted on his second sister-in-law. They would never have bought so much meat before, and there were all kinds of meat. But his second sister-in-law was worth it.
The next day, the two of them went to drag the meat back. Now the New Year's goods were ready and they were just waiting for the New Year. There were still two days before the New Year. Wherever they went, there was a New Year's atmosphere. The red lanterns had been hung up and there was joy everywhere.
The next day, Gu Lei thought that everything should be fine today. He could play with his little niece. Ningning can now walk with support, and sometimes she can even take a few steps without support. When she sees someone coming, she will walk towards you with a smile on her face. She is so soft and fun to play with.
The knock on the door was accompanied by Gu Lei's shout, "Brother and sister-in-law, is Ningning awake? Let me play with him for a while."
Gu Feng opened the door and let Gu Lei in. "You can actually play with a child who is less than one year old. You are really something."
"Isn't this boring?"
"You don't want to study anymore? You won't be able to keep up if school doesn't start."
"Second brother, can you please stop discouraging me? I need to relax for a few days during the New Year. I need to balance work and rest, otherwise I'll become a nerd."
"When you got off the bus and asked me why I was acting like a nerd at the station, I thought you were stupid."
"I thought you didn't know when I would be back. Who knew you would know?"
"Think about it, it was your first time out and we were worried about you coming back alone."
Gu Lei said excitedly, "Second brother, you are actually worried about me again, right?"
"Look, you still say you're not stupid. If we're not worried about you, who should we worry about? Boys have all sorts of crazy thoughts all day long."
"Boys need love too, don't you think Xue Kai is one of them?"
"Can you be the same? When did we stop caring about you?"
Gu Lei thought about it and it was true. Gu Feng felt that if he didn't explain it clearly, the child would probably keep holding on to this matter. Although they were not surprised at the time, they still loved each other. The child still hadn't figured it out after so many days.
"Is Ningning going to have a one-year-old celebration? I wonder what Ningning likes?"
"Ningning likes handsome guys. Haven't you noticed that when she sees a good-looking guy, Ningning just walks over with a smile? She basically doesn't play with girls."
"Ah? Ningning is so young, how can she know whether it's beautiful or not?"
"Don't underestimate Ningning's aesthetic taste. By the way, you play with Ningning, and your sister-in-law and I will go out for a walk."
