Gu Xiangwen looked at his mother coldly, and meeting her sarcastic expression, he said coldly: "If you don't welcome me home, I can leave right away and never come back again!"
Mother Gu was instantly furious.
When Gu's father saw Gu Xiangwen's gloomy face, he realized that his wife had gone too far.
Even if they think about the fact that he brings back so many good things every time, they have to be nicer to him!
Thinking of this, Father Gu quickly stepped out to smooth things over, "Awen, don't listen to your mother's nonsense, come in and sit down."
Gu Xiangwen glanced at his father before walking to the table and sitting down.
Today, all the people from the Gu family returned in good numbers.
Except for the eldest sister who was married, and the fourth and fifth brothers who went to the countryside and did not return to the city, everyone else was at home.
Apart from having a better relationship with Gu Xiangrong, Gu Xiangwen doesn't have much communication or affection with his other brothers and sisters.
He just greeted them briefly and sat there without saying anything.
The atmosphere in the house suddenly froze.
Mrs. Gu, who was cooking in the kitchen, came out with the dishes.
Seeing Gu Xiangwen in a respectable manner, Mrs. Gu gave him a rare smile, but her words were unpleasant to the ear, "Oh, it's the third child who's back. Is he going to pay his parents' salary this time?"
Gu Xiangwen sneered and said calmly, "Sister-in-law, I only completed the procedures for returning to the city on August 30th, and officially started working in early September. It's only September 20th. Which company is so nice that they will pay you in advance before you've even worked for a month and before the salary is paid?"
Although Jun Ning did pay him his salary in advance, he also gave each of the three of them and Mr. Mo fifty yuan on Mid-Autumn Festival, as well as so many holiday gifts.
But he just didn't want to tell them this, didn't want them to suck his blood.
When he officially receives his salary next month, he will give his parents the amount of retirement money he should give them.
But it is absolutely impossible to use his salary to support his elder brother and his wife! If they are good elder brother and his wife, and his conditions are good, he doesn't mind helping them occasionally.
But these are a brother and sister-in-law who suck the blood of the whole family. They want your money and do it so naturally and confidently. They are really shameless and outrageous!
If it weren’t for the fact that today was Mid-Autumn Festival, Gu Xiangwen really didn’t want to go back home.
Mrs. Gu was choked by Gu Xiangwen's words.
But she soon came to her senses and said to Gu Xiangwen with a smile, "Oh, Third Brother, you have enough money to buy such nice clothes, but why don't you have money to honor your parents?"
When Gu Xiangwen saw that after Mrs. Gu said this, everyone in the family except the seventh brother looked at him with suspicion.
Gu Xiangwen's heart was getting colder and colder, but he still told the truth, "This set of clothes is the work clothes issued by our office. I don't have money to buy clothes myself, so I can only come back in the work clothes."
Mrs. Gu's eyes widened. "Oh my God, your work clothes are so decent. Lao San, can you introduce us to work in your office?"
Everyone in the family was staring at him again.
Gu Xiangwen sneered, "I haven't even established myself yet, how can I introduce anyone in?"
Big Brother Gu snorted and looked at Gu Xiangwen with eyes full of anger and hatred. "After all, you just don't want to help, Third Brother!"
Gu Xiangwen didn't bother to pay attention to him and asked his parents directly, "Dad, Mom, are you going to have the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner today? If not, I'm leaving."
Father Gu then glared at the eldest and his wife and shouted angrily, "Old family, why don't you bring out the dishes quickly? Stop talking nonsense and get ready to eat."
Although Mrs. Gu was dissatisfied, she did not dare to disobey her father-in-law's order, so she turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
Seeing Mrs. Gu come in, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.
This weird sister-in-law in their family is always thinking about squeezing money from her parents and younger brothers, but unfortunately, her third brother just doesn't buy into it.
She felt so good just now when she heard Third Brother criticize this weird couple.
These people just deserve to be criticized! Although Gu Xiangqing is the youngest in the family, she is a girl and is destined not to receive too much attention and resources from her family. Housework is also something she has to do.
With the reluctance of Mrs. Gu and the efforts of Gu Xiangqing, the entire Gu family finally had the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner.
The dishes on the table were not rich. They used the bacon that Gu Xiangwen brought back, paired with cucumber and celery. They fried one dish with bacon and cucumber, and the other with bacon and celery.
There was also the canned meat sauce that Gu Xiangwen brought back, which was stir-fried with cabbage, and two dishes of stir-fried vegetables.
It was a dish like this that was extremely rich and the whole family enjoyed it with gusto.
Only Gu Xiangwen put down his chopsticks after eating a little, "Dad, Mom, I'm full, you guys eat slowly."
Father Gu asked him, "Why do you eat so little? Eat a little more."
Gu Xiangwen shook his head. "I'm full. You guys eat more."
Mrs. Gu laughed dryly and said, "The third brother is giving in to us. If he eats less, we can eat more. Don't you think so?"
No one else paid any attention to her.
Only her husband, Mr. Gu, nodded repeatedly, "Wife, you are absolutely right."
Gu Xiangwen sat aside, waiting quietly for them to finish their meal.
Father Gu asked Mother Gu to take out the mooncakes and cut them into small pieces. He also took out the grapes and pastries that Gu Xiangwen had brought back, put them together, and let everyone eat them.
The family sat there, eating and chatting.
Only the children from the Gu family were like hungry ghosts reborn. When they saw the delicious grapes and pastries that they had eaten last time, they grabbed them with their left and right hands and stuffed them into their mouths.
Especially the oldest child.
He grabbed the grapes in one hand and the cakes in the other.
Then he began to stuff grapes and cakes into his mouth frantically, until his mouth was full and full, but he kept stuffing more.
Gu Xiangwen was so worried that he might choke.
Just as he was thinking this, he saw the boss rolling his eyes as he choked on the food he had stuffed into his mouth.
When Mrs. Gu saw that her eldest son was choking, she quickly patted his back and took the pastry out of his mouth, which helped him calm down.
Mrs. Gu slapped him hard and yelled, "You damned child, you are starving to death, aren't you afraid of choking to death?"
Her eldest son was a little frightened, and he didn't dare to eat so much afterwards, so his movements became slower.
After Gu Xiangwen finished eating mooncakes with his parents, he stood up and said goodbye to them, "Dad, Mom, I'm going back first. Our director is getting engaged tomorrow, and I have to go over early in the morning to help them."
