Even if Mama Gu was speechless, Dad Gu would call her "brother" very smoothly.
Mother Gu: “…”
"This is Mingfu, right? She's getting prettier and prettier, I almost couldn't recognize her," she pointed at two cans of milk powder beside her, "I knew you were pregnant, so I brought this for you. I heard that pregnant women in Hong Kong all eat this."
Ruan Mingfu touched her belly and smiled very appropriately.
"Thank you Aunt Gu."
"Why are you being polite?" Gu Ma smiled and waved her hand, leaning over to look to the side, "Is this... my son-in-law?"
She pointed at Bai Qingnian, who had just come downstairs and was looking at Gu Yilin with shining eyes and a tightly furrowed brow.
Ever since he appeared, Gu Ma has paid attention to this young man.
Her eyes seemed to be glued to her daughter, and Ms. Luan and Ruan Mingfu looked as if they were blind.
Gu Ma has many complaints but no words to say.
If she hadn't been concerned about the fact that this was the Ruan family, she would have dug out Bai Qingnian's eyeballs!
Bai Qingnian showed his big white teeth in a silly grin.
"Hello, auntie!"
Mother Gu: “…”
What are you laughing at!
What a frivolous man.
Poor Bai Qingnian was labeled frivolous as soon as he met his future mother-in-law.
"Oh," Ruan Mingfu quickly explained when she saw that Gu Ma had misunderstood, "This is my husband's cousin, who is here to celebrate the New Year this year."
Bai Qingnian smiled foolishly:
"Aunt, you look so young. When you and Yilin stood together, I thought you were sisters."
Mother Gu was stunned at first, then she was ecstatic.
Looking at Bai Qingnian now, every aspect of him really suits her taste.
"The boy is really good at talking, hahaha~" Gu's mother laughed ostentatiously, "He looks energetic too..."
Following Gu Ma's praise, Bai Qingnian sat up straight in silence.
"Young man, how many people are there in your family..."
"I have an older brother who is a researcher," Bai Qingnian scratched his hair, a little shy, "My grandparents are still alive, and my parents have special jobs, so they are rarely seen."
Every time he said something, Gu Ma's eyes lit up.
The family background is good, and the job is good. The most important thing is that Yilin will not have a mother-in-law relationship when she gets married, my God...
This is a good marriage that is hard to find even with a lantern!
Gu Ma looked at Bai Qingnian with eyes so soft that they could drip water. She wanted to ask more but was interrupted by Gu Yilin.
"mom……"
"Shut up!" Gu Ma rolled her eyes at her and smiled at Bai Qingnian again, "My Yilin is in the army thanks to the care of your cousin and his wife. She has a bad temper and must have caused you a lot of trouble, right?"
Ruan, cousin-in-law, Mingfu, who was sitting next to her: "..."
My goodness, Gu Ma's intention is simply the reincarnation of Sima Zhao.
"Aunt, Yilin is fine."
A blush appeared on Bai Qingnian's fair cheek, making her look like a shy girl.
Gu Yilin covered her face, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. When she thought of Bai Qingnian who caused this situation, she spread her fingers and glared at the bastard through the gap.
Unexpectedly, the smile on Gu Ma's face deepened, and the look she gave Bai Qingnian became more gentle.
Brother Gu was unaware of this.
All his mood was now attracted by the snacks made by Luan Rong. He chattered with her and coaxed her into a happy smile, and she stuffed him with a lot of delicious food she made.
Everyone sat for a while before Xie Yanzhao walked in from outside.
"This is the uncle, right?"
Gu Ma only felt that the light in the living room seemed to dim a lot as soon as the other person entered the door. When she saw the tall figure of this person, she couldn't help swallowing.
My goodness, this new son-in-law is so scary.
If Bai Qingnian was the same as his cousin, her heart would not be able to bear it. Thinking of this, she looked at Ms. Luan with respect.
"Aunt Gu," Xie Yanzhao nodded slightly, and then sat down next to Ruan Mingfu, "How do you feel today?"
Ruan Mingfu didn't answer, "When did you go to pick up your parents? Why didn't you call me?"
"Mom and Dad arrived early in the morning, and I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't wake you up."
"snort!"
Ruan Mingfu snorted unhappily.
"You're already pregnant, why are you making such a fuss?" Ms. Luan glared at her. "Behave yourself. If I find out that you bully Yan Zhao again, I'll show you how I'll deal with you."
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
Really, sometimes I really doubt whether Ms. Luan is Xie Yanzhao’s biological mother.
As time went by, the four members of the Gu family also stayed to eat. Ms. Luan specially added several dishes for this purpose. With the help of Luan Rong and Zhang Ma, it didn't take much effort, and Gu Ma also showed off her skills.
Sitting at the dinner table, he kept picking up food for Bai Qingnian.
"This is my specialty, you try it."
"Qingnian, this soup is good..."
"Qingnian..."
Gu Yilin, who was sitting on the left side of Gu Ma, wished he could bury himself in the bowl of rice.
"Aunt, you eat too."
Bai Qingnian opened his clear eyes and looked very excited.
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
She quietly nudged Xie Yanzhao's arm and lowered her voice to a very low level.
"Do you think they can succeed?"
"If you want it, you can do it." Xie Yanzhao didn't even look at the two of them. He scooped a bowl of old duck soup and placed it in front of her. "This is what Aunt Gu brought. Mom has been cooking it for a long time. Come and try it."
Just as Ruan Mingfu was about to take it over, someone gently pinched the soft flesh on her back.
Gu Yilin's face was grim and he approached her with gritted teeth.
"I! Can! Hear! That!"
"Hey, then what do you think about you two being able to get together?" Ruan Mingfu was thick-skinned and didn't take Gu Yilin's anger seriously. "I'm still waiting to drink at your wedding."
Gu Yilin: “…”
She stiffened her neck and took a deep breath.
If her godson hadn't been born yet, she would have taught this damn woman a lesson!
I'm so angry... Gu Yilin gritted her teeth, and when she raised her head slightly, she met Bai Qingnian's sparkling eyes. Her heart trembled, and she quickly looked away.
wrong!
What is she guilty of?
Gu Yilin opened her eyes wide and looked at Bai Qingnian again, but she found that he was being pulled away by Gu's father to talk, and he turned his head slightly and didn't notice her.
Oh shit!
Even more upset...
But to be honest, Bai Qingnian's appearance is really good, and he is the opposite type of Xie Yanzhao. How scary the other person is, how soft and cute he is. His fair skin seems to glow when he stands among a group of men.
Especially when he wears a white shirt, he looks as fresh and clean as a student who has just entered college. People can't help but bully him and want to... want to beat him to pieces!
Hiss——
Gu Yilin wiped the corner of his mouth awkwardly.
If she had been there fifty years later, she would have known... this is a boy's **~
Gu Yilin finished the meal with his face slightly yellow.
Gu's parents didn't stay long, they took a break and then left. But Gu's younger brother didn't cooperate much, he grabbed Luan Rong's legs and refused to let go.
"Mom, I want to stay!"
There are so many delicious foods here that he really doesn't want to leave.
After having a meal at Ruan's house, Mother Gu became as shameless as Gu Yilin and his daughter.
"Then we're leaving?"
"Let's go," Brother Gu waved his hand impatiently, not forgetting to hold on to the corner of Luan Rong's clothes tightly, "Don't come to pick me up."
Mother Gu: "...You little bastard, I shouldn't have given birth to you in the first place."
"Then, then am I Sister Luan's son?"
Brother Gu looked at Luan Rong with sparkling eyes.
Mother Gu: “…”
Luan Rong: “…”
He is already in his teens. She had to have been married at the age of seven or eight to give birth to a son this big.
"Stinky boy, who are you going to be your son to?"
Mother Gu picked up Brother Gu and dragged him out of the Ruan family regardless of his struggle.
Luan Rong was stunned.
She swallowed her saliva. Even if Brother Gu was younger, he was still a 13- or 14-year-old child. When he stood next to her, he would still be as tall as her chin. Not to mention much, he must have weighed at least 70 or 80 kilograms...
Just being taken away like that... Luan Rong didn't believe it, she rubbed her eyes.
After seeing Mother Gu subdue and pull away the struggling Brother Gu, she covered her heart and walked back like a wandering soul.
Oh my god, this is too scary!
She sat on the sofa and calmed her heartbeat.
Ruan Mingfu looked at her curiously, "Cousin, what's wrong with you?"
"Ah? No...nothing."
It was a rare sunny day today, so Ms. Luan mobilized everyone to clear all the things in the room. She also made a very rigorous list of what was currently missing.
Early the next morning, Ms. Luan was about to go to the supply and marketing cooperative with the money and bills, but was stopped by Ruan Mingfu.
She smiled and looked at Ms. Luan in a flattering manner.
"Mom, take me with you."
Since returning to Haishi, she hasn't gone out for some fresh air.
Afraid that Ms. Luan would disagree, Ruan Mingfu touched her belly.
"Mom, the doctor also told me to exercise well."
"I know you're uncomfortable staying in the house. Let's go," Ms. Luan looked Ruan Mingfu up and down, "Take Yan Zhao with you."
"Why!"
Ruan Mingfu called Luan Rong again.
It's just that she had recently become interested in Zhang Ma's pastries and was looking for her to learn from her. She didn't have the time to go to the supply and marketing cooperative, so she declined.
As the year draws to a close, more people come. The closer you get to the supply and marketing cooperative, the more people there are.
Unlike later times, the New Year atmosphere was very strong at that time. Even sports could not stop people from welcoming the New Year.
Looking at the huge crowds of people in front of the supply and marketing cooperative, Ruan Mingfu: "..."
What a mistake, she thought it was in the future.
"Mom, let me go, you take good care of Mingfu."
"good."
Ms. Luan was not pretentious and handed over her list and the money. He took the things and strode towards the supply and marketing cooperative. Soon, he disappeared.
The dog man was strong and healthy, so Ruan Mingfu was not worried that he would be squeezed.
"Let's go there," Ms. Luan protected Ruan Mingfu and pointed to a corner, "There are fewer people over there, let's go there and wait for Yan Zhao to come out."
Ruan Mingfu is not an ungrateful person.
She had such a big belly, if she was hit by a blind man, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Mom, do you think my brother can come back?"
Ruan Mingfu was a little angry when she talked about it.
Since Qi Yanzhao returned to Hong Kong City, there has been no news. He only calls occasionally to let her know that he is safe.
"The situation in China is still tense," said Ms. Luan, who appeared very calm. "Even if the government gives him the title of a patriotic businessman, I still hope he can take a few years to recover."
Ruan Mingfu didn't say anything, just nodded.
The mother and daughter were silent for a moment, and then a sharp voice suddenly came.
"…What's the point of having you? I asked you to buy fish, but you brought me a piece of meat?"
The two turned around and saw an older woman pointing at a young daughter-in-law and scolding her. She had her back to the mother and daughter, so they couldn't see the expression on her face. But the other party was aggressive, and the young daughter-in-law had a sad look on her face, as if she wanted to cry but didn't dare to.
You can tell at first glance that he's not someone you'd want to mess with.
The young wife didn't dare to look up, "Mom, when it was my turn, the fish was gone, only meat..."
