Soon, spring is coming and we can take off our thick cotton clothes.
Today is Saturday. Early in the morning, Xie Sufang and Zhang Hongliang brought Xia Xia to the compound.
"Aunt, aunt," before Wen Nuan reached the yard, he heard Xia Xia's baby voice calling.
"Oh, Xia Xia is here, come and hug her!" Wen Nuan quickly hugged the fragrant Xia Xia into her arms.
"Aunt, where are my brother and sister?"
"They are washing their faces and brushing their teeth. They will be out soon. Xia Xia, have you eaten yet?"
"I've eaten. I'm full!" Xia Xia said as she patted her bulging belly.
"Haha," everyone in the yard laughed at Xia Xia's cute little appearance.
The triplets who were washing up couldn't wait any longer when they heard everyone's laughter, so they washed their faces a few times and ran out.
After dinner, Wen Nuan took Wang's father and mother, Wang Xiaomei, the three children, and Xie Sufang's family of three to visit the park.
Mom Wen needs to work overtime today, and Dad Wen has a project for which he needs to write a lesson plan, so in the end, Dad Wen is the only one at home.
Around nine o'clock in the morning, less than an hour after Wen Nuan and the others left, there was a knock on the door.
Dad Wen was writing a lesson plan in the study. The person knocked for a long time before he heard the knock on the door. He quickly got up and walked out, shouting as he walked, "Here they come, here they come!"
"Teacher Wen,"
As soon as Father Wen opened the door, a clear voice rang out.
"Oh, it's Xiao Qingzi, why are you here?"
It turned out that the person knocking on the door was Gu Qing.
"Teacher Wen, today is the weekend. I thought you were all at home, so I wanted to come and see you," Gu Qing said as he looked around calmly and then frowned. It seemed that there was no one else in the yard except Teacher Wen.
"Hey, what's so good about it? Come on, go inside and have a cup of tea," Dad Wen closed the door and invited Gu Qing to the living room to have tea.
"Aunt Wen and Xiao Nuan are not here?" Gu Qing asked naturally.
"Oh, your Aunt Wen is working overtime today, so Xiao Nuan took the children, her parents-in-law, and her sister's family out to play!" Dad Wen said nonchalantly while making tea.
"Oh," Gu Qing's eyes flashed with disappointment, but he quickly concealed it and said with a smile, "Teacher Wen, are you, Aunt Wen, and Xiao Nuan all doing well recently?"
"It's great, very good, haha, especially with three little ones, life is really fun!" Dad Wen said with a laugh.
"That's good. By the way, Mr. Wen, you just said that Xiao Nuan went out with her sister? What sister?"
"Oh, she's the sister Xiao Nuan recognized when she went to the countryside. Something happened to our family at the time, so we had no choice but to send Xiao Nuan to the countryside. How could a thirteen-year-old child survive? Thanks to this sister she recognized, she took care of Xiao Nuan like her own sister, and that's how Xiao Nuan grew up healthily!"
"That's great. Xiao Nuan must have had a hard time when she went to the countryside, right?" Gu Qing guided her step by step, wanting to slowly understand what he wanted to know.
Unfortunately, Mr. Wen was simple-minded and just kept talking along with what the other person said.
"Of course, such a little girl doesn't know anything, can't cook, and can't even wash clothes. How can it not be difficult?" Having said this, Dad Wen felt uncomfortable again.
Seeing that Father Wen was a little sad, Gu Qing quickly said, "No matter how difficult it is, it's over. Xiao Nuan is fine now. I see that Xiao Nuan's child is three or four years old. Isn't it too early for Xiao Nuan to get married?"
"Xiao Nuan got married right after her 18th birthday. Jianshe, oh, that's Xiao Nuan's boyfriend. He's 6 years older than Xiao Nuan and he's a soldier. We couldn't arrange the time, so we had to get married quickly while the time was right so that Xiao Nuan could join the army."
"Xiao Nuan's partner is so much older than Xiao Nuan?"
"Of course, but it's better when she's older. Jianshe really loves Xiaonuan. As long as he's at home, Xiaonuan basically doesn't have to do anything. He lets Xiaonuan do whatever she wants and gives all his salary to Xiaonuan without a penny less. Sometimes, your aunt Wen can't stand it and says that Jianshe dotes on Xiaonuan like his own daughter. This is a bit exaggerated. No matter how much he dotes on Xiaonuan, can she be as doted on as her biological father?" Dad Wen said this with some dissatisfaction.
Gu Qing's face looked a little unhappy when he heard what Wen's father said, but Wen's father didn't notice it. He kept criticizing him but he was actually praising his son-in-law.
Gu Qing, who had been listening, wanted to interrupt Father Wen but didn't know how to start.
After Mr. Wen finished nagging about how good his son-in-law was to his daughter, he continued nagging about how good his son-in-law was to his children, and then he stopped to take a sip of tea.
Gu Qing had no choice but to listen awkwardly as Father Wen praised his son-in-law in various ways. It could be seen that Father Wen was sincerely praising his son-in-law.
"By the way, Xiao Qingzi, how have you been these years? Do you have a partner? Is that girl I saw a few days ago your girlfriend?" After drinking the tea, Dad Wen felt his throat much better and began to care about Gu Qing again.
"Haha, I don't have a partner. The girl I saw a few days ago was just an ordinary friend," Gu Qing was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
"Haha, I know, it's a blind date, but you better hurry up. You are two years older than Xiao Nuan, and Xiao Nuan is already a mother of three children, but you still don't have a partner. This won't do. You have to hurry up!"
"Haha, okay," Gu Qing agreed, but his heart was bleeding. The girl he wanted most already belonged to someone else, how could he hold on to her?
"By the way, Xiaoqingzi, what are you doing now?"
"Oh, I'm studying now. The college entrance examination was resumed last year and I was admitted to Jingshi University. Now I'm studying finance at Jingshi University."
"This major is great, with great prospects and great development potential. You must study hard!"
"I know, Mr. Wen."
Just like that, the two talked about some other topics, and soon it was noon, and Gu Qing got up to say goodbye.
"Tell me, I should keep you for dinner, but Xiao Nuan and the others are not here, and I don't know how to cook. Next time, you must stay for dinner!"
"Okay, Teacher Wen, I will definitely stay for dinner next time. Let's forget about it this time. I happen to have something to do at noon, so I'll leave first," Gu Qing said politely.
"Okay, we have a deal. I will definitely come next time!"
As he said that, Father Wen sent Gu Qing out the door. After Gu Qing left, Father Wen directly closed the gate. What he didn't notice was that Gu Qing was standing at a corner not far away, looking at the Wen family, and didn't move for a long time...
In the evening, Wen Nuan came back from a day of playing. She just heard her father say that Gu Qing had been here, and then she forgot about the matter. After all, they were not familiar with each other!
That night, the Wen family courtyard was very lively again. Everyone gathered around a full table. No one knew that a light was lit not far away in the middle of the night...
