Chapter 215 Find a Way
"Mother"
Fei'an's two short legs really couldn't take it anymore. He originally thought that he could hold on, but he was still too young and had too little experience. He didn't expect his mother to walk faster and faster. If this continued, he felt that his mother would soon lift him up like a kite and fly him up.
Hearing Fei'an calling her, Gu Zhenqi turned around almost out of habit, only to see his flushed little face and beads of sweat on his forehead.
Feeling distressed, he took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat: "Why are you sweating so much?"
"Hoo, hoo, Mom, you're sitting too fast, my legs are too short to catch up." As he spoke, he took a deep breath and used his little hands to help him smooth his chest.
Gu Zhenqi was really amused by her son's appearance. She rubbed his little head distressedly and said, "You, if you can't walk, you can just call mom. Don't force yourself to do everything. You are still a child."
Fei An frowned and said disapprovingly: "I'm not a child, I'm a man, a man who can protect my mother and sister."
Perhaps to increase the credibility of his words, he patted his chest. As a result, he was too tired after chasing Gu Zhenqi all the way, and the air in his chest had not yet recovered. When the external force hit him, it was tragic that he coughed for a long time.
Ruiduo got down from her mother's arms distressedly, and used her chubby little hands to help her brother calm down: "Brother, I'm not tired anymore, let me hold you."
"Cough, cough, cough, you are too young, cough." Fei'an's face became even redder after coughing.
"My sister is small, let mommy hold her."
Without waiting for Fei'an's consent, Gu Zhenqi hugged him tightly in her arms, holding Ruiduo's hand with one hand. Considering that Fei'an couldn't keep up with her just now and his appearance after catching up, she subconsciously slowed down her pace.
Back home
The courtyard was very lively. Almost all the women living in the courtyard gathered together, flirting, picking vegetables, knitting sweaters, embroidering shoe soles, chatting...
Seeing Gu Zhenqi and the two children come in, they greeted her enthusiastically. She wanted to chat with her for a while, but she was really not in the mood today and had something important to do, so she simply greeted them and took the kids back to the room.
The door of the mother and her two daughters' room had not been opened since they went in and closed it until nightfall. When she came back, those people didn't see anyone come out. After being together for so long, their relationship was still pretty good.
Especially since Gu Zhenqi has the attributes of a koi fish, since she moved in, the aura and fortune in this courtyard have changed invisibly, and the people living here have more or less benefited from her.
Her career, life, and health are all getting better day by day. The amazing thing is that these people automatically attribute the credit to her.
Perhaps she herself did not notice the hint of sadness between her brows, but it did not escape the eyes of those people.
At dinner time, they knocked on her door one by one, carrying the delicious food they had made that night. The neighbors' enthusiasm was beyond her expectations. It was hard to refuse their kindness, so she accepted their kindness. At worst, she could return the favor in her own way next time.
After delivering food, a group of women led by Grandma Chen were worried about Gu Zhenqi, so they chatted with her for a while and asked her if she had encountered any problems. She was told to speak up, as a neighbor is worse than a distant relative, and everyone helped in any way they could.
The nature of Chen Kuo's job was too special, and Gu Zhenqi had no words to express her suffering. She just said lightly that she was fine and had a slight cold at night.
It would have been fine if she hadn't said anything. Once she did, the warm and kind neighbors forgot that she was already a doctor and brought her cold medicine from their homes, as well as some eggs, malted milk, and snacks...
Even Granny Chen gave her half a chicken
After seeing this for decades, more and more high-rise buildings are being built in the city, and people are becoming more and more indifferent to each other. Not to mention the neighbors, even the emotions between relatives and friends have become extremely indifferent. Communication is only done through mobile phones, and a phone call has become so stingy. At this moment, the warmth and care given by her neighbors, these ordinary things given to her, have become extremely precious. Her eyes are red and her heart is warm.
My empty heart is briefly filled with this warmth at this moment.
After seeing off Granny Chen and the others, Gu Zhenqi, Ruiduo, and Fei'an enjoyed the dinner that the neighbors had brought to them. She picked up a piece of food for Ruiduo and Fei'an respectively, looked at them and said gently, "Ruiduo, Fei'an, our dinner today was brought to us by our neighbors' grandmothers and aunts. We must remember this warmth and give them the same warmth in return. Remember?"
Ruiduo, Fei'an, blinked their big, innocent and clear eyes, looked at her for a few seconds, and then nodded.
Gu Zhenqi would not tell them a lot of empty truths all at once. Instead, he would infiltrate them silently into their lives little by little and teach them the principles of life.
The neighbors sent too much, and Ruiduo and Fei'an ate too much and their stomachs were bloated. When Gu Zhenqi went to clean up the dishes, she asked them to go to the yard to digest the food first.
"Mom, we won't run around, don't worry, we'll be waiting for you to sleep together." Ruiduo promised.
"Okay, I'll be in the kitchen. Call mom if you need anything." Gu Zhenqi was carrying a large basin of bowls, chopsticks and plates. She had already put the unfinished food into the space, intending to save it for the next meal.
After finishing her work in the kitchen, she said hello to the two little kids, returned the dishes to the neighbors, helped them wash up, and accompanied them to sleep.
Listening to the two little kids' even breathing sounds coming from beside her, she opened her dozing eyes. She couldn't adjust to the darkness in the room for a while, so she got out of bed, put on her shoes, and stood by the window, standing there in a daze for a long, long time, until the darkness receded and the dawn came. Gu Zhenqi was like a statue, with only the blinking of her long eyelashes and the sound of shallow breathing.
Apart from that, there was no sense of human presence on her body. Her entire body was icy cold, as if it were a desolate place. After standing motionless all night, her entire body had become stiff and unconscious.
Ruiduo rubbed her eyes and woke up from her sleep. The first thing she did was to look for her mother in the room. Her eyes fell on the beautiful figure standing in front of the window, and she called out softly, "Mom, good morning."
A call pulled Gu Zhenqi back from the desolation. The icy aura around her slowly warmed up. She rubbed the purple jade in her hand with the belly of her thumb. A look of determination flashed in her eyes. She slowly turned her stiff neck and looked at Ruiduo: "Good morning, Ruiduo."
Ruiduo crawled out of the bed and opened her arms: "Mom, hug me."
As soon as Gu Zhenqi hugged Ruiduo, Fei'an shyly got into her arms: "Morning, Mom."
"Morning, let's move faster today. Mommy has other things to do after she sends you to kindergarten."
"Mom, what are you going to do? Can you tell me and my brother?" Ruiduo asked innocently.
"It's a secret. I'll give you a surprise when mom is done."
Gu Zhenqi didn't plan to tell the two little kids about Chen Kuo. After a night of contemplation, she had already thought of a way to meet Chen Kuo. However, she didn't want to repay a favor, so she had to break her own rules this time.
