"He went out with your uncle, you'll see him tonight!"
Zhao Xuan said with a smile that she didn't know what the two of them had gone to do, but she would see them again in the evening.
Lin Qing nodded upon hearing this. She hadn't seen the boy for several days and really missed him!
...
As night fell and the city lights came on, Gu Nianqing finally returned to the Chen family home with his uncle. Upon entering, he saw Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun sitting on the sofa and excitedly ran over to them.
"Dad, Mom, you're back!" Gu Nianqing rushed into Lin Qing's arms, hugged her tightly, and said happily.
Lin Qing reached out and hugged Gu Nianqing, then ruffled Gu Nianqing's hair and asked with a smile, "Why are you back so late? Where did you go with your uncle today?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Nianqing looked up, her eyes sparkling with excitement: "We're going to the army! Mom, you don't know, the soldiers in Father's army are so stupid, they can't even beat me!"
"You! All you do is bully people." Lin Qing tapped Gu Nianqing's forehead with her finger and said with a smile. This kid is really naughty. Doesn't he know his own situation? He actually went to the army to bully the soldiers. It seems that the soldiers who were bullied tonight won't be able to sleep. After all, anyone would have trouble sleeping if they were bullied by a ten-year-old child.
"Uncle, don't spoil him too much. He's so old, what kind of behavior is that!"
Gu Nanxun looked at the brat interacting with Lin Qing and couldn't help but snort, then said to Zhao Jinxiang.
"It's alright, Nianqing knows what she's doing. Besides, those brats are always so arrogant and ignorant. It's good for Nianqing to teach them a lesson, so they won't forget that there are always people more capable than themselves."
Zhao Jingxiang picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and then said nonchalantly.
"Dad, you're so petty! I'm just a little closer to Mom! Why are you being so stingy?"
Gu Nianqing couldn't help but speak up when Gu Nanxun complained about her.
Hearing this, Gu Nanxun could no longer hold back. He reached out and pulled Gu Nianqing out of Lin Qing's arms, then placed her on the stool next to him and said, "Sit properly. How old are you? Still trying to snuggle into your mother's arms? What kind of behavior is that!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
At first, everyone didn't understand what Gu Nianqing meant, but after seeing Gu Nanxun's behavior, they realized it and burst into laughter. They hadn't expected to see this side of Gu Nanxun and found it amusing.
"slightly……"
Gu Nianqing did something to Gu Nanxun, then stopped bothering him and went to find Gu Shulan.
"You should have come with me today. You have no idea how funny those soldiers are!"
"Really? Then I'll go with you next time!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Shulan's face showed a hint of longing.
"Big brother, I want to go too! Take me with you!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yichen hurriedly grabbed Gu Nianqing's arm and pleaded with her.
"Big brother, I want to go too! I want to go too!"
"Big brother, Ziyao wants to go too!"
Hearing this, Gu Zichen and Gu Ziyao, who were playing nearby, rushed over and surrounded Gu Nianqing, chattering excitedly.
Upon hearing this, Gu Nianqing glanced guiltily at Zhao Jinxiang, then touched her nose and said with a smile, "You're still young. I'll take you when you're older."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yichen's eyes immediately lit up. He reached out and patted Gu Zichen and Gu Ziyao's heads, soothing them like a little adult, "Zichen, Ziyao, be good. You're still young now. When you grow up, your big brother will take you!" He had just heard his eldest brother say he would take his third brother, but since he was older than his third brother, his eldest brother must have meant his fourth brother and fifth sister! Sigh... Gu Yichen was indeed the smartest.
Gu Zichen glanced at his second brother with disdain upon hearing this, and then said, "Second brother, you're only two years older than us."
Gu Yichen was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then turned his head and thought that being two years older was still older, so he puffed out his chest and said seriously, "Being two years older is still older!"
Seeing their younger siblings arguing about their age, Gu Nianqing and Gu Shulan couldn't help but exchange a glance and smiled simultaneously. They didn't tell Gu Yichen that the "younger" their older brother was referring to also included Gu Yichen himself.
...
Looking at the children playing nearby, Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun smiled in unison. It was so nice…
Dinner was prepared by Lin Qing, Lu Xianghong, Zhao Xuan, and Hu Ying. It was a rare opportunity for the family to get together, but because there were so many people, they had to set up two tables to sit down, with the adults at one table and the children at the other.
During the meal, Lin Qing, Gu Nanxun, and everyone else sat around the table, enjoying the food. They listened to the children chattering about the day's events, while the adults listened with smiles, occasionally interjecting with questions.
After dinner, Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing took the children to go home, and Gu Nianqing, unusually, did not stay at Zhao Jingxiang's house, but went back with Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun.
"Mom, you've seen me several times already, just ask me whatever you want."
On the bus, Gu Nianqing noticed that Lin Qing had looked at her five times in just ten minutes, so she finally couldn't help but ask.
Why didn't you go back to your uncle's house today? Did you two have a fight?
Lin Qing asked curiously.
"Mom, what are you thinking? How could I possibly argue with Father? Have you forgotten that Father's house is right next door to us? Besides, I made a hole in the wall of the courtyard. Is there any difference between going to our house and going to Father's house?"
Gu Nianqing rolled her eyes at Lin Qing and said helplessly.
Lin Qing swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue. He had thought the boy had changed his ways! He never expected it to be for this reason.
"hehe……"
Hearing Lin Qing and Gu Nianqing's conversation, Gu Nanxun couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Hearing Gu Nanxun's laughter, Lin Qing's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at him: "Brother Nanxun, you're laughing at me!"
"Cough cough..."
"No... how could I laugh at you! I just thought your conversation was cute!"
Gu Nanxun coughed twice, then said in a serious tone.
Lin Qing rolled her eyes at Gu Nanxun without saying a word. "Hmph!" She didn't believe it!
When Gu Nianqing and Gu Shulan saw their parents showing affection again, they couldn't help but turn their heads and pretend they didn't hear it.
When Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun returned, Lin Jianguo and Dong Xiulan had already gone to sleep. Zhao Xi came out to greet them when she heard the noise.
"You're back! There's hot water in the kitchen, and Mom and Dad have gone to bed!"
Lin Qing nodded upon hearing this, "Okay, we understand. You should go to sleep early too! Don't wait for us."
Zhao Xi nodded, turned around and went back to her room.
After settling the children in and watching them drift off to sleep, Lin Qing returned to her room with Gu Nanxun. They lay on the bed, hand in hand, and also fell asleep.
