"Oh, I didn't expect to see the old Qingzi today. After so many years, that naughty boy has grown up. Is that girl his girlfriend?" Mother Wen sat down, picked up a piece of meat for Zhuangzhuang, and said with a smile.
"Who knows? Maybe." Father Wen seemed to not want to talk about Gu Qing anymore. He picked up a piece of mutton and gave it to Mother Wen. "Don't just focus on the child. Eat some too!"
"Hey!" Mother Wen smiled and lowered her head to eat the food given by her old man.
Yang Chunhua looked at Wen's father, Wen's mother and Wen Nuan thoughtfully, and found that Wen Nuan was only concentrating on feeding the three little ones. She had to hide her doubts and concentrate on eating.
As for Wang Fugui and Wang Xiaomei, well, they are two foodies!
After saying hello to Gu Qing, Wen Nuan focused on feeding the three little ones. She didn't remember this person and didn't feel anything when she saw him. She thought he was probably the little girl's childhood playmate. She didn't even have any memory of the little girl and forgot about Gu Qing in the blink of an eye.
As for Gu Qing, he deliberately chose a seat where he could see Wen Nuan's big table. While he was absent-mindedly dealing with the woman he had a blind date with, he checked on Wen Nuan from time to time. Watching her taking care of the three little ones tenderly and her mother-in-law feeding her from time to time, he felt a sour feeling in his heart for some reason, and even the meat in his mouth tasted a little bitter.
The people at the table who were trying hard to eat didn't notice all this, and they didn't know that Gu Qing and the other person quickly finished their meal and left. Moreover, after leaving the room, Gu Qing directly told the girl that it was inappropriate. He turned around and left without even giving a reason, making the girl so angry that she kept cursing behind him!
Wen Nuan's family was all full, and everyone was leaning back in their chairs, touching their stomachs.
"This is the first time I've eaten something so delicious. I really want to eat it every day!" Wang Xiaomei leaned back in her chair, touching her bulging belly, and said with a satisfied look on her face.
"It's delicious, but your Uncle Wen must have spent a lot of money on it," Yang Chunhua said on the side.
"It doesn't matter how much money we spend, the main thing is that we enjoy the meal," said Wen's mother with a smile, and then turned to look at the three little ones, "My dears, is the hot pot delicious tonight?"
"tasty!"
"tasty!"
“It’s so delicious!”
The three little ones ate a lot tonight, so Wen Nuan should pay attention to controlling the amount, otherwise they will get stomachaches from being too full.
"Grandma, we need to eat more later!" Feifei shouted from the side.
"Yes, I want to eat it!"
"Yeah, I want to eat more!"
Xiuxiu and Zhuangzhuang quickly followed suit.
"Okay, eat, eat. As long as you kids like to eat, grandma and grandpa will bring you here to eat often!" Looking at the cute looks of the three grandchildren, Mother Wen couldn't stop smiling.
"Mom, do we have a copper pot at home? If so, we can eat at home in the future." Although Wen Nuan had been taking care of the three little ones, she didn't eat at all. She even felt a little full because she hadn't eaten such authentic hot pot for a long time.
"We used to have some, but now we don't know where they went. But it doesn't matter. Let your dad go to the coppersmith and order two. We can eat them often at home in the future!" Mother Wen said with a smile.
In the cold winter, eating hotpot is really comfortable. It is also easy to eat at home. I can arrange more meals for it in the future!
Finally, Dad Wen went to pay the bill, and the others helped the three little ones put on their hats and scarves. The whole family took the children, held their bellies, and walked home happily chatting.
After eating and drinking, everyone went back to soak their feet in hot water and went to bed early.
"Hey, old man, I discovered something tonight," Yang Chunhua, who was just about to go to bed, suddenly remembered Gu Qinglai, whom she met at dinner just now, and pushed Wang Fugui next to her.
"What's the matter? It's late at night. Can't you go to sleep first?" Wang Fugui, who had been extremely sleepy for a long time, muttered and turned over.
"You old man, you only know how to sleep!" Yang Chunhua kicked Wang Fugui in annoyance.
"Hiss, I say, old woman, are you going to let me sleep?" Wang Fugui was kicked awake by the old woman and turned over again, "Okay, say what you want to say!"
"That guy tonight, that Xiao Qingzi, I think there's something wrong with him!"
"What is Xiaoqingzi?"
"That's the guy we met while having dinner!"
"Oh, him, what's wrong?"
"He looks at our daughter-in-law in a wrong way!"
"You old woman, you can't talk nonsense!"
"No, I'm sure I didn't see it wrong! And, from what my in-laws said, this kid and our Xiao Nuan often played together when they were young. Maybe this kid has bad intentions!"
"That can't be possible. Xiao Nuan was only thirteen when she went to the countryside. What does a thirteen-year-old know?"
"Xiao Nuan doesn't know, but I can't guarantee that the boy doesn't have bad intentions!"
"I say you're just overthinking it. Our in-laws didn't react much. Look, Xiao Nuan doesn't even remember him! You must be overthinking it!"
"But there's something wrong with his eyes!"
"Oh, don't think about it. I'm tired even more than you after sitting on the train for so many days. Let's go to sleep!"
After a while, Wang Fugui's snoring sounded.
The more Yang Chunhua thought about it, the more she felt that Gu Qing had no good intentions. She didn't mean anything to warm her up. She still believed in her daughter-in-law, but she had to be careful with other people, especially a man with ulterior motives. When her son was not around, she had to protect her daughter-in-law!
In this way, Yang Chunhua kept thinking about this and that, and didn't fall asleep until the late night.
On the other hand, Wen's father and mother also talked about Gu Qing before going to bed.
"I didn't expect that Xiao Qingzi was so naughty when she was little, always teasing Xiao Nuan, but now she looks so gentle and refined!"
"Yeah, things are different now!"
"Alas, it's been almost ten years, and the children have all grown up. Is Xiao Qingzi going on a blind date tonight? I don't think that girl is good enough. She's not good-looking enough for Xiao Qingzi!"
"Hey, whether they are suitable or not has nothing to do with us. As long as Xiaoqing likes it, why do you worry about it!"
"You old man, I'm just saying something, but what a pity, I once thought of pairing him and Xiao Nuan together!"
"You old woman, don't talk nonsense. Our Xiao Nuan is married and has a child. It's a military marriage. You can't have any crazy thoughts!"
"Oh, I've already said what happened back then. What's the matter? Can I harm our daughter?"
"Don't say this anymore. If someone hears it, especially if it's heard by my in-laws, it won't be good for Xiao Nuan. Besides, Xiao Nuan is happily married now. Except for the fact that Jianshe can't be with him all the time, everything else is fine!"
"Hey, didn't I just say this to you? Look, I said one sentence and you kept talking so much. It's annoying. Go to sleep!"
"Okay, sleep, sleep!"
On the other side of Beijing, a light was left on in a window next to the small western-style building where the old man lived all night...
