Xu Hongying looked at Shen Sisi in confusion, and seeing that the girl couldn't help laughing, she must be hiding something from her.
"Why are you looking at Sisi? Look at me too!" Gu Changhe forced a smile, his eyes wrinkled, looking uglier than crying.
"Why am I looking at you? Because you're old? Because you have so many wrinkles?" Xu Hongying was extremely disgusted with him and felt uncomfortable if he looked at her for even one more moment.
She said sourly, "Besides, don't you go to accompany your "good" sister every New Year's Day? Be careful that she will be waiting for you and will be heartbroken."
Shen Sisi widened her eyes. What the hell?
Every New Year's Day, Gu Changhe doesn't spend time with his family, but instead goes to spend time with that woman?
This is intolerable!
Just as she was about to speak, Gu Changhe explained: "What sister or no sister? Apart from the sister of our Gu family, I don't have any sister outside."
"As for her...she told me before that after her parents passed away, she rarely contacted her brothers and sisters, didn't find a partner, and didn't have any children. It was pitiful for her to spend the New Year alone. She hoped that I could go with her to visit her parents' graves every year!"
...
...
He was afraid that he might not be able to explain himself clearly, so he just said everything in one breath.
Hearing this, Xu Hongying also found it hard to believe: "Just visiting the grave?"
"Yeah! What else do you think?"
"When his parents were alive, they treated me like their own son, and they had some affection for the elderly in our family, so it is only right that I visit their graves."
Xu Hongying glared at him and said, "What about this year? If you don't go, won't there be no one to accompany her to visit the grave?"
"No!" Gu Changhe made the decision without even thinking: "I won't go anymore!"
"You..." Xu Hongying was also stunned. It was the first time in decades that she heard him reject that good sister so clearly.
Even Gu Chengfeng stood there stiffly, looking at his father with a puzzled look.
Gu Changhe saw their confusion, cleared his throat and made a public statement: "I will no longer interfere in Huifang's affairs."
"I was confused before and always felt sorry for others. Even if I really owed her, I have paid it back in the past few decades."
He turned his head and said to Xu Hongying sincerely: "From now on, I will no longer have any contact with her, and I will not do anything to embarrass you again. Let's not talk about divorce, okay?"
Bang!
The bowl in Gu Chengfeng's hand fell to the ground.
His parents are getting a divorce?
Just as he was about to speak, Shen Sisi pulled his hand and said, "May you be safe and sound, and may you two talk first. Chengfeng and I will take care of it first."
You can't use a broom on New Year's Day, so Chen Sisi pulled Gu Chengfeng and picked up the fragments one by one with their hands.
"Let me do it! Watch out for your hands." Gu Chengfeng put her aside and absentmindedly lowered his head to pick up the fragments.
Although he had long felt that there were problems in his parents' marriage, he felt mixed emotions when he heard with his own ears that his parents were getting a divorce.
At this time, Shen Sisi winked at him: “Chengfeng, come out!”
Gu Chengfeng followed her out obediently.
"What's going on?" he couldn't help asking.
"What did you and Dad talk about in the room just now?"
Shen Sisi asked him to calm down: "This is what happened..."
She quickly explained the whole story.
"In fact, I can see that your father still cares about your mother, otherwise he wouldn't try so hard to come to me to talk and try to save this marriage."
Gu Chengfeng never expected that his father actually had real feelings for his mother.
He leaned against the cold wall and said, "From my childhood, my dad rarely came home. Every time he came back, we always quarreled. At that time, I thought, we should just leave him!"
"When I grew up, I heard that he had a woman outside. The hatred I felt for him grew deeper, and I became more rebellious. I never thought that the truth was like this..."
Shen Sisi also found it unbelievable. Something that could be explained in just a few words, but the family had misunderstood it for decades.
"Yes, if your father really has feelings for that woman, he should be happy to divorce, so that he can live with his white moonlight."
"But I can see that he has no feelings for that person. It was just guilt that was playing tricks on him before."
"I just pointed it out to him. That woman was clearly a traitor and was deliberately destroying other people's families. Your father is a smart man. He quickly understood what that woman was up to. The last bit of friendship and guilt in his heart was also completely wiped out."
"Now, it depends on how he tries to make amends!" Shen Sisi sighed.
The two wrapped the fragments in oil paper. It was taboo not to throw away garbage on the first day of the Lunar New Year, so they put the garbage in the corner.
But when they walked into the house hand in hand, they happened to hear Gu Changhe speaking to Xu Hongying in a soft voice.
"If I don't like you, can I have three children with you?"
"You know my temper. If I don't like you at all, I won't even touch you..."
Xu Hongying's face turned red like a monkey's buttocks. She slapped him on the face. Her shy and flustered look made people laugh.
"Shut up, what are you talking about in front of the child?"
When Gu Changhe saw the two figures at the door, he was so scared that he quickly sat up straight and returned to his majestic appearance as the head of the family.
Shen Sisi and Gu Chengfeng looked at each other and understood each other tacitly.
"Have a meal."
"Yes, let's eat..."
The meal was a great pleasure.
Perhaps Gu Changhe's confession worked, Xu Hongying was exceptionally gentle at the dinner table today, and her loud voice became much lower.
During the meal, Gu Chengfeng said that he would accompany Shen Sisi to Lin County and Jinfeng Village. When they heard that they were going to pay New Year's greetings, the old couple nodded and said that it was their duty.
"Take this." Gu Changhe took out a bulging envelope from his arms, which was filled with great unity.
"You're going home to pay New Year's greetings during your first year of marriage, so don't be impolite. This is the New Year's money your dad gave you. Take it to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some good things."
"Later, I'll have someone bring those bottles of Maozi from the back of my car. They're great stuff. I've collected them for almost 20 years. I'll give them to my in-laws as well!"
Gu Changhe, the chief eunuch, is magnanimous in his actions.
But Shen Sisi didn't think that her uncle deserved these good things. She wouldn't drink even if they were given to her aunt. In the end, they would either fall into the hands of Chen Jianguo, or into the hands of Chen Ting and Yang Huaidong.
"Dad, thank you for your kindness. You can keep the good wine for yourself. My family doesn't drink."
"This isn't for drinking, you can give it to relatives as a gift, it'll make you look good!"
Before Shen Sisi spoke, Gu Chengfeng guessed her thoughts and took over the conversation: "Dad, we have already prepared the things, so you don't have to worry about it. There are too many things and we can't carry them all. In the end, Sisi will be the one who is tired."
Hearing that his daughter-in-law was tired, Gu Changhe immediately became unhappy: "Okay, I'll keep these wines at home. You can drink them yourself or give them to others in the future. It's up to you. This is also my wedding gift to you!"
After Gu Changhe finished speaking, Xu Hongying also nodded in agreement: "I haven't prepared anything, for fear that my in-laws would not be satisfied if I prepared anything. Here are some cloth coupons, oil coupons, grain coupons, and egg coupons that I saved myself. Take them and buy something for them."
