Gu Jingming went upstairs. Zhu Guihua did not rush to watch TV, but stood up and looked around.
"This house is really big, and the furniture inside is very exquisite. Gu Jingming's family is richer than I thought."
"What a pity, oh!"
Zhu Guihua couldn't help but sigh. Ye Qingtao looked at her and didn't want to respond to her.
This is exactly the quietness she has always dreamed of, which others cannot obtain even if they ask for it. I wonder why her mother is sighing?
When the children heard that Ye Qingtao was coming, they jumped down from upstairs.
Gu Jingming chased after them, fearing that the two youngest ones would tumble down the stairs.
Several children went downstairs and saw Zhu Guihua standing in the middle of the living room, and they immediately fell silent.
They stood there obediently, with their backs straight.
Gu Xiu'an was timid, so he just hugged Gu Jingming's legs and hid behind him.
Gu Jingming coughed lightly, but the children still did not respond.
"When guests come to your house, shouldn't you take the initiative to greet them?"
At Gu Jingming's reminder, Gu Xiuyuan quickly called her sister.
"Qing Tao and I are already married. From now on, you have to call her sister-in-law."
Gu Jingming reminded her, and the children quickly changed their way of addressing her and started calling her sister-in-law.
Zhu Guihua looked at the children in surprise. Why had she never heard of this before?
Ye Qingtao was afraid that her mother would misunderstand, so she quickly explained.
"Mom, they are children adopted by Gu Jingming's father. Now they are taken care of by Gu Jingming's grandmother. They can be considered his younger brothers."
Zhu Guihua was frightened at first, but felt better after hearing her daughter's explanation.
In any case, it was much better than she had imagined that her daughter didn't have to marry and become a stepmother.
Let him be his younger brother. Anyway, Gu Jingming’s father is rich and there is a nanny at home to help take care of the children, so her daughter shouldn’t be tired.
Zhu Guihua looked unhappy at first, but he felt better after he figured it out.
At Gu Jingming's reminder, Gu Xiuyuan timidly called her "Auntie". Being called like that by a child, Zhu Guihua suddenly felt a lot younger.
"Hey! What a good boy!"
Zhu Guihua waved to Gu Xiuyuan, and Gu Xiuyuan hesitated and ran to her.
Zhu Guihua affectionately took his hand and looked at it again and again.
"This child is really good-looking, smart and well-behaved. He looks very likable."
Zhu Guihua always says one thing to one person and another thing to another person.
She pulled Gu Xiuyuan aside and started praising him, and immediately made him feel embarrassed.
Gu Xiuyuan lowered his head and called her "Auntie" again. Zhu Guihua responded with a smile, and her mood was very good.
"What a good boy! I love hearing you call me auntie."
Zhu Guihua took Gu Xiuyuan's hand affectionately and made him smile.
The two younger ones were a little afraid of her at first, but now that they saw their older brother coming over and getting praised, they suddenly became a lot braver.
Gu Xiu'an let go of Gu Jingming's legs and walked forward bravely.
He was a little scared at first, and his movements were cautious.
Zhu Guihua smiled, grabbed his arm, and instantly pulled him into her arms.
"Come on, come on, cute little baby, come over and talk to your auntie."
Zhu Guihua pulled them both to sit on the sofa and took the initiative to hand the remote control to Gu Xiuyuan.
"You can choose which TV show you want to watch. Auntie will listen to you."
Gu Jingming usually keeps a strict control over them and rarely lets them watch TV at will.
Now Zhu Guihua took the initiative to give them the remote control and let them watch TV at will. How could the children not be happy?
Zhu Guihua let the two children lean on her arms and watched TV with them quietly.
Gu Xiuping walked up to Ye Qingtao, took her hand and shook it gently.
"Sister-in-law, I don't want to watch TV. Can you read a book with me?"
"Okay, our Xiuping's favorite thing is reading, right?"
Ye Qingtao found it a little unbelievable. After all, he was so young, had never been to school, and barely knew a few words. How could he read a book by himself?
“Yes, reading makes me happy.”
Gu Xiuping took Ye Qingtao to his room on the second floor.
He took a storybook and put it on the table, asking Ye Qingtao to tell him a story.
Gu Xiuping listened to the stories very seriously and would point and ask questions when he encountered words he didn't understand.
In this way, he not only listened to the story but also learned to read, which was killing two birds with one stone.
Seeing how well-behaved he was, Ye Qingtao couldn't help but touch his head.
Gu Xiuping raised his head and smiled at her, revealing his small white teeth.
The afternoon passed quickly, and Gu Jingming turned off the TV while the children were not paying attention.
Although they were a little angry, they didn't dare to say a word.
The children took their toys and went to play obediently.
Zhu Guihua secretly sighed in his heart that this family’s education was really good.
Gu Jingming is an authoritative figure at home. He can make the children obey him with just a look or a word.
If they were so obedient in normal times, their daughter would not suffer too much no matter what.
Aunt Liu knew that there were guests at home, so she went out to buy a lot of delicious food.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhu Guihua smelled a fragrance coming from the kitchen.
She also loves cooking, and couldn't help but stand up and go to the kitchen to check on the situation.
When I saw this, I was completely shocked.
Isn’t Aunt Liu really good at cooking?
Although she is old, she has excellent knife skills and her presentation of dishes is very exquisite.
Compared to her usual casual cooking, Aunt Liu's dishes are so exquisite.
She usually thought she was a good cook, but now that there was a comparison, she felt ashamed of herself.
Zhu Guihua stood by the door and watched for a while, then finally retreated silently.
The cooking level is not up to par, this is not the place for her.
My grandma is old and very sleepy. She slept for an entire afternoon before lazily getting up from the bed.
He knew that his grandson had gone to propose marriage today, and he thought she would stay there for dinner, but he didn't expect her to come back.
Not only did he come back, he also brought one more person with him.
"Is this your in-law? I didn't expect you to come today. I was a little sleepy and didn't entertain you well enough."
The grandma apologized embarrassedly, and Zhu Guihua quickly went forward to support her.
"It's normal to feel sleepy as you get older, but you don't look old at all, you should be only in your 60s this year, right?"
Zhu Guihua was very good at playing dumb, and when grandma heard her she was stunned at first, and then burst into laughter.
"I'm already over 70 and will be 80 soon!"
Which elderly person doesn’t like to be praised for his or her youth?
Zhu Guihua immediately widened his eyes in surprise and looked incredulous.
"Impossible? You look only in your 60s. You're probably in your early 70s at most."
Zhu Guihua repeatedly emphasized that grandma was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
"Oh! You are really good at talking! I love listening to you talk!"
"I also like listening to Auntie talk. It seems like we hit it off right away."
Gu Jingming knew that his grandmother had an okay personality, but she was not an old woman with a particularly good temper.
It was not easy for Zhu Guihua to get along well with her the first time he visited her.
Gu Jingming breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took the two children aside and asked them to go back to their room to do their homework.
Ye Qingtao told Gu Xiuping a story for a while and finally succeeded in coaxing him to sleep.
After the little guy fell asleep, Ye Qingtao lay in front of the desk, quietly doing the ratio calculations.
Without Lu Yunchuan's disturbance, Ye Qingtao said that she really liked this kind of life.
The only concern now is which room she will sleep in at night?
The two of them are married on the surface, but they haven't actually obtained a marriage certificate. Doesn't it seem inappropriate for them to live in the same room?
When Ye Qingtao thought of this, her heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat and she couldn't calm down at all.
