Outside the courtyard gate, Gu Linger pushed her bicycle and called inside, "Qiangwei, are you asleep? Open the door, I'm here to return the bicycle."
Chen Qiangwei glanced at the guilty-looking Gu Sannai and didn't say anything else.
"Not yet, I'll be right there."
The gate creaked open and Gu Linger pushed the bicycle in.
Liu Jinhua also came in. She greeted Gu Sannai first, "Auntie San, have you eaten? You haven't slept yet?"
Liu Jinhua didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that her third aunt seemed a little happy, like a child who was scolded by an adult and was happy when guests came to the house.
Gu Sannai's expression changed quickly. "Well, I was just about to rest. How's Xiaowu?"
Liu Jinhua's face turned worried. "This unlucky kid encountered some problems while driving, but he's fine now. The factory even let him come back to rest for a few days."
Gu Sannai looked anxious, "What? Injured? Is the injury serious?"
Liu Jinhua comforted her, "Aunt, it's nothing serious, don't worry."
Gu Sannai rolled her eyes at Liu Jinhua and said, "Xiaowu is injured, how can I not be worried? I'll go with you guys first."
Chen Qiangwei went back to the house and got a bag of candied peaches. "Third Grandma, wait a minute. I'll go with you."
She gave some of the pickled peaches to Gu Sannai and Wang Xiaomai, kept some for herself, and then packaged the rest into five portions and asked people going to the commune to mail them to her uncle and cousin. Because she heard that Gu Anyang liked candied peaches, she kept about three pounds for herself.
Gu Sannai was suspicious, "I'm going to see my nephew, what are you doing there?"
Chen Qiangwei said frankly, "Oh, I'll go see Gu Anyang."
Gu Sannai, Wang Xiaomai, Liu Jinhua, Gu Linger...
Is it what they think?
Gu Aiguo clumsily prepared malted milk for Gu Anyang, using half a bowl of boiling water and two spoonfuls of malted milk, and the aroma came out immediately.
Gulp, gulp, a series of swallowing sounds rang in Gu Anyang's ears.
Gu Anyang asked worriedly, "Dad, it's so late, why hasn't Mom come back yet?"
Gu Aiguo looked at the sky and said, "Forget about this old woman. I'll go to the village entrance to take a look."
Except for staying overnight at her parents' home, Liu Jinhua had never been out this late. Gu Aiguo put down the malted milk and said, "Xiaowu, remember to drink it while it's hot."
Gu Annan patted the back of Wang Zhaodi's hand and said, "Hiss, what are you doing?"
Wang Zhaodi faced everyone's gaze and said with all her might, "Nothing, my hands are itchy."
After saying that, he glared at Gu Annan. This idiot, he and his father-in-law are father and son, but he didn't inherit any good qualities from his father-in-law. He gave birth to two sons and two daughters for him, and he didn't even get a good word from him.
Gu Anxi looked at Xie Dani affectionately, and Xie Dani blushed in embarrassment.
Gu Anyang: He shouldn’t be sitting here. He didn’t drink enough malted milk, but he ate enough dog food.
"Ahem, sister-in-law, bring out two more bowls and make two bowls of malted milk so that Maotou and Daya can have a few sips."
Wang Zhaodi said, "Okay, I'll thank my uncle on behalf of Maotou and the others."
A bunch of little kids said, "Uncle is so nice, thank you, uncle. We will honor you when we grow up."
Gu Annan: Is this father of his just a decoration?
The little kids finally got to taste the legendary sweet and fragrant malted milk. The older kids were very conscientious. They picked up the bowls, took a sip each, and then passed it to the next person.
They will remember this sweet taste for the rest of their lives. In the days to come, whenever they encounter setbacks and disappointments, they will think of this sweet taste and grit their teeth to get through it.
After drinking the malted milk, Gu Aiguo also came back.
Gu Aiguo said anxiously, "Second brother, take the flashlight and follow me. Third brother, you come too."
Gu Annan, "Okay, Dad, Mom hasn't come back yet?"
"I haven't seen anyone. You two come with me to look for them. It's so late, I'm worried your mother and sister are not safe."
"What's safe or not?"
Liu Jinhua's voice came.
Gu Anyang gave his father some points, "Mom, Dad saw that you hadn't come back yet so late, and he was getting anxious. He even went to the village entrance to wait for you just now, but when he didn't see you, he came back and asked his second and third brothers to go look for you together."
Liu Jinhua blushed upon hearing this and glared at Gu Aiguo, "I just went to Aunt San's house to return Chen Zhiqing's bicycle, which delayed me a bit."
Gu Sannai looked at Gu Xiaowu with concern, "Xiaowu, I heard you were injured? Is it serious? If it hurts a lot, let's go to the barefoot doctor to get some medicine."
Gu Anyang showed his big white teeth, "Third grandma is fine, she just had a little skin scrape. The hospital prescribed some medicine, it will be fine after applying it for a few days. Wei, Chen Zhiqing, why are you here?" Gu Anyang looked at Chen Qiangwei with some surprise.
Chen Qiangwei held up the candied peaches and said, "I heard you were injured. As your partner, shouldn't I come and show some concern for you?"
Gu Anyang seemed to hear the sound of flowers blooming. It was so beautiful that he thought he was in a dream.
Gu Aiguo and others...
"Wei, Weiwei, you, I'm so happy. Dad, Mom, second brother and his wife, third brother and his wife, Ling'er, this is Chen Zhiqing, my boyfriend, we're dating."
Gu Anyang was a little incoherent.
Liu Jinhua patted Gu Anyang in disdain and said, "Speak properly and straighten your tongue first."
It's so embarrassing. He is usually a smart person, but now he is talking incoherently.
Gu Aiguo was the first to react. "Oh, here she is. The old woman has poured Chen Zhiqing some sugar water, no, a bowl of malted milk."
Chen Qiangwei, "Uncle, aunt, I'm sorry for coming here without saying hello."
Before Gu Aiguo and Liu Jinhua could say anything, Gu Anyang spoke up, "It's okay, it's okay, it's not rude, I'm so happy that you can come."
