She patted Xue Ru's hand and said with concern, "Listen to me, you must take good care of yourself when you get there, and don't be stingy with food or money!"
"We'll take care of things at home, so you don't need to worry!"
"Take good care of yourselves and focus on your work!"
Upon hearing this, Xue Ru said: ...
He exchanged a glance with Qin Weiguo, then accepted the tickets without ceremony and thanked Gu Yunlan, saying, "Thank you, Aunt. While we were away, we troubled you, Grandma, and... Uncle Gu to take care of things at home!"
The words "Gu's father" were uttered.
Grandma Gu and Gu Yunlan's eyes lit up immediately.
Grandma Gu, who thought her son would be alone for the rest of his life, was so moved that her eyes welled up with tears. She never expected that her son would be able to have a father in his life.
She smiled and said, "We mother and son worry so much, yet you two still manage to get a meat pie to eat. If we relied on you to take care of your father, you wouldn't even know where to go to eat!"
Xue Ru and Qin Weiguo were speechless upon hearing this.
Thinking of Gu Guanhai, who left home on his wedding night and never returned, she couldn't help but chuckle.
Calling Gu Guanhai "Dad" was a decision made by the siblings.
The word "stepfather" sounds a bit too formal.
However, they sometimes can't bring themselves to call him "Dad," so...
Uncle Gu becoming Father Gu is the most fitting thing to do.
Unfortunately, their father went out to work on their wedding night, not even giving them a proper chance to address each other as husband and wife...
Thinking of this, Xue Ru's face showed a look of worry.
"Well, we didn't get Mr. Gu's permission to go back to work."
She looked at Grandma Gu and Gu Yunlan and said, "Grandma and Aunt, when Father Gu comes back, we'll have to trouble you to tell him for us that it's not that we don't respect him, but we're just too pressed for time and can't wait for him to come back."
Upon hearing this, Grandma Gu immediately smiled and waved her hand, saying, "What's there to say?"
"He even ran away from his wife halfway through their marriage because of his work! What right does he have to compete with you younger generations?"
"Don't worry, you're leaving tomorrow. Tonight, you can have a good night's sleep with the little one in your arms!"
"After today, the little dumpling will be sleeping with me!"
In the end, Grandma Gu beamed with joy.
Even though her smile was so infectious, Yu Mingxiang and the others couldn't help but laugh along.
Night was falling.
After packing their things for tomorrow's departure, Yu Mingxiang stayed in the front yard to rest, while Grandma Gu took the children back to the back yard.
As soon as Xue Ru and her husband returned to the house, there was a knock on the door.
When Xue Ru opened the door, she saw Mei Fang standing outside.
The house has been a mess these past few days from tidying up. Meifang is pregnant, in her early stages, so she needs to be extra careful...
Even if she wanted to help, Yu Mingxiang wouldn't agree.
Aside from eating, she spends almost all her time in the backyard.
Xue Ru was taken aback when she saw Mei Fang.
"Aunt Mei, why aren't you resting yet?"
She has always respected Mei Fang.
Especially after witnessing Mei Fang draw her gun in public, Xue Ru felt a mixture of respect and awe for this woman who wore a cheongsam and even wedge heels while pregnant.
Mei Fang smiled slightly when she heard Xue Ru address her with such respect.
"These are for you."
She pulled out two folding knives, each about the size of nail clippers, and handed them to Xue Ru. "Folding knives, they can save your life in a pinch!"
Upon hearing this, Xue Ru exclaimed, "!!!"
I was stunned when I saw those two delicate and small folding knives.
Knives are generally regulated items.
Especially such a delicate and small knife...
It doesn't look like it was made in China.
When Mei Fang saw that she didn't answer, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
"rest assured."
She said in a deep voice, "These knives aren't on the controlled list, so they're compliant with regulations! As long as you don't open them, they pose almost no threat..."
As she spoke, Mei Fang slightly moved her fingertips and pressed down on the locking mechanism of the folding knife.
The delicate and compact folding knife instantly transformed into a foot-long sharp blade!
Upon seeing this, Xue Ru exclaimed: "!!!"
I was completely stunned.
