Zeng Lingshu took advantage of her not being able to react and quickly turned around and went home. He hadn't argued with anyone for a long time, and his fighting ability had declined a little. He would find Lao Gu to practice again tomorrow.
The iron gate made a "click" sound, and Wang Mei suddenly came back to her senses.
Thinking back to what Zeng Lingshu had just said, the second son's wife in the Gu family is pregnant!
Or twins!
Her eyes were red. How come the Gu family is so lucky!
He turned around and left, and didn't leave the house until the New Year.
However, the news that the second son's wife of the Gu family was pregnant with twins was quietly circulating in the family compound.
The news spread so quickly that even the young soldiers on guard in the family compound knew about it.
Lin Jingshu, who was shopping at the moment, had no idea that she would become the talk of the town in the future.
After leaving the family compound, Gu Chengze and his wife ran all the way to the gate of a hidden courtyard.
"Uncle Qiu's great-grandfather was an imperial chef, and my family has been making dim sum for generations. I often came here to buy things when I was a child."
Unfortunately, the current situation is special and I can only make a few snacks in secret to make a living.
For fear of the matter being leaked, only regular customers were entertained.
Everyone has been eating dim sum for decades and they all love it, helping to protect this piece of pure land under the darkness.
Gu Chengze knocked on the gate and soon footsteps were heard.
"Who is it?"
An old voice sounded at the door.
Gu Chengze: "Uncle Qiu, it's me, Chengze."
Hearing his name, the other party quickly opened the door.
When Uncle Qiu saw that it was really Gu Chengze who came back, he hurriedly welcomed him in.
"Come in quickly. I haven't seen you in years. You've grown stronger."
Uncle Qiu looked at Gu Chengze's solid figure, his eyes flashing with admiration, "You have the demeanor of your grandfather."
Gu Chengze explained: "My grandfather also likes Uncle Qiu's craftsmanship."
According to seniority, he should call him grandpa, but Uncle Qiu said it didn't matter.
Not only Gu Chengze, but everyone who comes here, regardless of age, respectfully calls him "Uncle Qiu".
Instead, his real name has been forgotten.
Uncle Qiu looked at the girl next to Gu Chengze, and a look of understanding flashed across his eyes. "Is this your wife?"
I had heard Lao Gu brag about being married a long time ago, but I didn't expect to have the chance to see it in person.
Looking at the clarity in the other's eyes, Uncle Qiu nodded in his heart. Old Gu was lucky. Both of his grandsons married good wives.
"Hello Uncle Qiu, Chengze said that your craftsmanship is the best in Beijing."
Lin Jingshu gave a thumbs up.
Uncle Qiu laughed and said, "This kid has loved the snacks I make since he was little. Every time he stays at his grandfather's house, he comes here just by smelling the food."
Uncle Qiu’s courtyard is only one street away from the retirement home.
When Gu Chengze lived with his grandfather as a child, his favorite thing was to run over and eat when Uncle Qiu was making snacks.
Although he said he came here to eat for free, he actually never came empty-handed.
Sometimes it is Mr. Gu’s chess record, sometimes it is a home ornament.
Uncle Qiu was not polite and accepted everything.
It was not until a long time later that Mr. Gu discovered something was wrong. He then discovered that his grandson had stolen the things and taken them to Uncle Qiu.
Gu Chengze suffered a triple beating from his parents and grandfather.
In the end, it was Uncle Qiu who interceded for him, and Gu Chengze was able to avoid a tragic end.
Uncle Qiu was just playing with the child. He was alone, and he must be very happy to have little Gu Chengze to keep him company every day.
He knew that Mr. Gu treated those things as treasures and kept them carefully in the box.
After the incident was exposed, all the money was returned.
Feeling ashamed, Mr. Gu waved his hand and deducted his grandson's New Year's money, and gave it all to Uncle Qiu as compensation for his free meals and as savings for the future.
When talking about his embarrassing childhood experiences, Uncle Qiu no longer felt tired but looked very energetic.
Gu Chengze's forehead was covered with sweat. Why didn't he realize earlier that Uncle Qiu had the potential to be a gossip?
Seeing Uncle Qiu talking about the time when he wet his pants as a child, Gu Chengze quickly interrupted, "I brought you some good wine, let's go in and talk."
Hearing about the wine, Uncle Qiu became even more energetic. He didn't bother chatting anymore and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go make some snacks for Comrade Xiaolin."
Half of the room in Uncle Qiu's house was connected and used as a kitchen.
He is best at white countertops, and there is no need to worry about the smoke problem. After so many years, it still looks like Gu Chengze when he was a child.
To this day, Uncle Qiu still regrets not being able to accept Gu Chengze as his apprentice.
"This kid is very smart in other aspects, but his cooking skills are terrible."
Uncle Qiu said this with a pout, his expression showing disgust.
Lin Jingshu glanced at Gu Chengze. She didn't expect that she had the talent to be a teacher and could teach the loser to the level of a chef.
Gu Chengze: "Uncle Qiu, thanks to my wife, I can now be considered a half-chef."
The remaining half was his modesty. He still didn't want to show off his skills in front of Uncle Qiu.
Uncle Qiu was too lazy to laugh at him.
When I learned that they were going somewhere else, I said while preparing snacks, "When you come back from shopping, the food will be ready. Some snacks taste better when they cool down a bit."
Gu Chengze thought so too, so he brought his wife to him first.
What Uncle Qiu said was exactly what he wanted.
"Then we'll go first. Goodbye, Uncle Qiu."
Lin Jingshu said goodbye to Uncle Qiu and closed the door before leaving to prevent anyone from disturbing him while he was working.
Gu Chengze stepped onto the bike and tilted it slightly to make it easier for his wife to sit on.
Lin Jingshu sat in the back seat, clutching the corner of his clothes. Thinking of Uncle Qiu's empty courtyard, she felt a little uncomfortable.
"Hasn't Uncle Qiu ever thought about taking in an apprentice in all these years?"
Gu Chengze's voice carried over on the wind, "I once took in a man. Uncle Qiu passed on all his life's skills to that man. He was a poor man with only an elderly mother at home. He met Uncle Qiu by chance, and Uncle Qiu thought he had talent and took him in as his apprentice. Unfortunately, he made a mistake."
Even though Uncle Qiu was looked after by old customers like these, everyone was in danger during that special period.
Uncle Qiu didn't know which villain had reported him, but when people from higher up came to investigate, the apprentice actually betrayed the master who treated him as his own son.
Fortunately, Uncle Qiu was meticulous in his work, and except for the informant, everyone else under investigation kept silent.
Without substantial evidence, the higher-ups had no choice but to release the person.
The first thing Uncle Qiu did when he returned home was to drive his apprentice away because his temple was too small to accommodate such a huge Buddha.
"Could it be this disciple who informed on me?"
Gu Chengze was not surprised by his wife's cleverness, and nodded and said, "You guessed right."
The reason why the apprentice informed on the matter was that he was misled and thought that Uncle Qiu had kept some tricks up his sleeve and had not taught him all of his skills.
God is watching what you do.
The apprentice later received the retribution he deserved.
Gu Chengze didn’t say what happened next, as it would bring bad luck to such a person if he talked too much.
"Wife, there's a foreign trade store in front. Let's go take a look and buy some things to send back to my parents."
Lin Jingshu buried her head in his back and rubbed it, saying okay softly.
Feeling the warmth on his back, Gu Chengze rode harder and was not afraid at all even in the cold wind.
As long as he has his wife by his side, this temperature doesn’t matter. He would even be willing to run shirtless.
