"You brat, don't try to run away! Just because we haven't seen each other for half a year, you think you've grown wings and thought you're all grown up!"
“Dad, we have a saying that like father, like son, right?” Jiang Jinhua replied as he ran.
"Don't think I'll let you off just because I say a few nice words. Stop right there!"
Jiang Jinhua obediently stopped.
But the next second, he was there, wiggling his butt and waving his hands, continuing to provoke Jiang Junrong.
"Dad, are you tired? Why don't you take a rest?"
Jiang Junrong was furious when he saw his son's irritating look. He rushed over, but the kid was like an eel, twisting and disappearing into the distance.
He just couldn't catch that brat!
Wu Wen and Mo Caixia followed them into the courtyard, carrying large and small bags.
Seeing this scene between the old man and the young man, Wu Wen felt inexplicably envious.
If his father were still alive, would he have done the same?
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs".
"Jinxiu, won't your brother get beaten to death by your father for doing this?" Mo Caixia couldn't help but ask, watching the chaotic scene unfold.
Before Jiang Jinxiu could say anything, Zhou Wenjing took the things from her hands and said, "Don't worry about them, they'll get used to it. That kid deserves a beating! Judging from his expression, he probably misses his dad's fists."
After saying that, she looked at Jiang Jinxiu and asked, "Girl, why does that brat seem to be running faster than before?"
She remembered that every time this happened before, that brat would get beaten up a lot, but now, her man hadn't hit him even once; the distance between them was quite large.
How does she see it? It's like her son is just teasing his dad.
Is the old man really getting old?
Jiang Jinxiu, holding Zhou Wenjing's hand, explained, "Mom, you're amazing. Dad pursued her for so long and didn't even realize it. Xiaohua has been consistently training lately."
In fact, Jiang Junrong saw through it all; it was just a case of one willing to hit and the other willing to be hit.
There was also an element of testing involved.
He wanted to know how his son had been doing lately.
But this wretched son of mine is really infuriating!
What kind of talk is that? He's only in his early forties, how is he old?
Moreover, that awful guy kept saying that Gu Xichen was amazing. Does that mean he isn't amazing either?
That's really asking for a beating!
Seeing her father and brother so full of energy, Jiang Jinxiu's eyes couldn't help but well up with tears.
That's great, they're all doing well!
Her eyes welled up with tears, but her face beamed with joy.
Today is a good day; she shouldn't be crying all the time.
"Is he really that well-behaved?"
Zhou Wenjing was very surprised. How could she not know what kind of person her son was? Back in Beijing, waking him up for training in the morning was like taking his life.
Jiang Junrong would find excuses to send him to the army for training every few days.
Jiang Jinxiu nodded and spoke up for Jiang Jinhua, saying, "Mother, you must believe him."
Zhou Wenjing still looked suspicious: "Then he said he made you angry?"
She hadn't forgotten what her silly son had said outside.
Jiang Jinxiu hugged her hand and said coquettishly, "Mother, I'm not angry. I just made up an excuse to punish him."
It's a good opportunity to have them help Gu Xilan fetch water to water the vegetables. Otherwise, it's always that little girl who has to fetch water to water the vegetables herself, while her brother does nothing but eat. It just doesn't make sense.
Gu Xichen welcomed everyone into the living room, then took some fruit from the shelf, washed it, put it in a basket, and placed it on the table.
After doing all that, he poured several glasses of warm water and handed them to everyone: "Everyone, drink some hot water first to warm yourselves up."
After putting their things away and drinking some water, Wu Wen and Mo Caixia said goodbye to Jiang Jinxiu and the others.
They hadn't originally planned to stay long, but since they had some free time, Mo Caixia suggested coming to visit Jiang Jinxiu.
However, now that Jiang Jinxiu's parents have arrived, and since it's a rare occasion for them to get together, they felt embarrassed to disturb them any further, so they went back. But before leaving, Wu Wen and Gu Xichen had a private chat.
Mo Caixia held Wu Wen's hand and asked, "What did you just say to Gu Xichen?"
"It's nothing, I just told him to come to town to see me in a couple of days when he has time. We're going to Dong Province in a few days, I heard there are a lot of imported goods there, I'll bring you a gift then."
Mo Caixia giggled, "Then you should tell me in advance before you go."
"Yes, we will." Wu Wen gently pinched Mo Caixia's nose.
Zhou Wenjing pulled Jiang Jinxiu aside and asked her how she was doing, even taking out the food they had packed from the state-run restaurant for her to eat.
Watching Jiang Jinxiu eat her meal obediently made her very happy.
Jiang Jinxiu was surprised that her parents had packed a meal for her.
When I saw that bowl of sweet and sour pork ribs, I couldn't help but swallow hard.
Before I saw it, I didn't think about what to eat, but once I saw it, I couldn't resist reaching out and grabbing some food before I even found my chopsticks.
Zhou Wenjing looked at this scene with doting eyes: "You little glutton."
Jiang Jinxiu put the piece she was holding directly into Zhou Wenjing's mouth before picking up another piece to eat: "Mom, you eat too."
She quickly ate two pieces to satisfy her craving. Seeing her father and younger brother still running around in the yard, she quickly dried her hands, picked up an apple, and went outside.
"Dad, are you tired? Here, have an apple first. I'll have Xichen help you catch him!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Xichen grabbed Jiang Jinhua and brought her to Jiang Junrong.
Jiang Junrong only felt someone run past him, but in an instant his son was grabbed and brought in front of him.
