Children are very sensitive. They can sense other people's kindness or malice towards them.
Although Gu Lanting was not very satisfied with Xu Huaian, he was very gentle and caring towards them, so the two children also liked this gentle uncle.
Ming Ruxue was shocked.
"Are they... Sister Huanhuan's children?" How could Sister Huanhuan have two such old children?
Gu Lanting didn't explain. He squatted down, picked up Beibei and walked inside. Ming Ruxue hurriedly followed.
"Sister, I'm here! Brother-in-law." When I walked inside, I saw my cheap brother-in-law washing clothes in the yard.
Not bad, he helps with the housework.
There was less resentment in Gu Lanting.
"Lanting is here, and there are guests? Huanhuan, there are guests!" Xu Huaian shouted towards the kitchen.
Gu Qinghuan stuck his head out with a green dragon in his hand.
"Lanting, is this your friend? Please invite the guests to sit inside. The table is a little wet. You can sit down first and eat in a while."
Ming Ruxue took the initiative to step forward and said with a smile: "Sister Huanhuan, don't you recognize me? I am Ruxue, Ming Ruxue."
Gu Qinghuan's brain worked rapidly, and he finally remembered that this was Lanting's plum blossom!
When she looked at the two of them again, she smiled like an auntie: "Ruxue, didn't your family go abroad? Why did you come back? Haha, girls change a lot when they grow up. They become more and more beautiful. I didn't recognize you."
"Sister Huanhuan is so beautiful. It's hard to describe her in words. Let's talk slowly. I'll help you." Ming Ruxue rolled up her sleeves and went into the kitchen without any hesitation.
Gu Lanting quickly put the child down and followed him. It would be a pity if she got such a beautiful dress dirty.
"Let me do it. You go out and take a rest. Why don't you ask your guest to help you?"
Gu Qinghuan couldn't help but laugh. It was not bad that Gu Lanting could also be so compassionate and cherishing.
The killing power of 께 Qingmei is quite great, otherwise why are the stories always so unhappy? If Ming Ruxue were in the story, she would be the perfect white moonlight, beautiful and kind.
Look at Gu Lanting's expression, he is so shameless, he must be secretly in love with her, right?
Ming Ruxue was a quick person. She spoke bluntly and did things without hesitation. Instead, she drove Gu Lanting out.
"I haven't seen Sister Huanhuan for a long time. Stop interrupting me and get out now."
Gu Lanting had no choice but to go out and take the two children out to play.
He actually likes children very much. He made Dabao and Beibei laugh and even let Beibei ride on a horse with his head on his shoulders.
Dabao looked on enviously, and Gu Lanting also lifted him up high.
The three of them had a great time.
Although Xu Huai'an is not that kind of rigid father, he also won't be so active in playing with his children. He doesn't have that gene in his bones.
So the two children like this uncle more.
The two women cooking in the room were also chatting happily.
Xu Huaian continued to wash clothes alone, miserable.
Fortunately, Gu Qinghuan took out enough things to entertain the guests without being impolite.
The meal on the table looked very tempting.
Garlic stewed green dragon, pickled fish, fried prawns, steamed crab, sweet and sour spare ribs, shredded potatoes, tomato and egg soup.
It's a rare occasion for us to get together, and the family is in a good mood, eating and chatting.
Ming Ruxue is considered one of their own, and Gu Qinghuan did not hide it from her. She plans to deal with Gu Yunchuan, the scumbag, first.
Why did his whole family suffer while he was the only one living well, with a successful career, a loving wife, a son in his old age, and everything going smoothly for him?
Gu Lanting had long hated his father to the core. Half of all the suffering in his life was caused by his biological father, so naturally he had no objection.
Ming Ruxue was also an interesting girl. She gave them some advice, such as throwing rotten eggs, splattering feces, and writing big-character posters. No one knew where she knew these ideas from.
These methods are definitely not effective. She doesn't just want to vent her anger, but to completely destroy Gu Yunchuan and make his sense of superiority and happy life no longer exist.
Xu Huaian naturally fully supported her idea.
The most important thing at the moment is to take care of Lanting. I have to go back to school to start studying tomorrow, so I have wasted several months.
When Ming Ruxue heard this, she immediately said that she also wanted to go to school and the two of them could go together.
After dinner, Gu Lanting sent Ming Ruxue back to the hotel before returning to his own tube-shaped building.
-
As soon as I got downstairs, I heard the sound of a baby crying and adults arguing in the corridor.
The family on the second floor were arguing for some reason, and the noise was quite loud.
Many people in the corridor were secretly listening.
When Gu Lanting passed by, the door of that family's room was suddenly opened from the inside, and a young woman holding a child was pushed out. The corridor was narrow and she bumped into him directly. Fortunately, he held on to her, otherwise she would have fallen.
"You'd better go away. We in Fulai don't know you at all. Don't come and harass my grandson." An old woman said viciously.
The woman's face was covered with tears, and the baby was crying loudly too.
"Grandma, I am really the wife he married in the countryside. He said he would come to pick us up soon after returning to the city. Didn't he tell you?"
The old woman pouted and said, "Just because we Fulai got a good job, you want to come and make trouble for us. Who are you? You are a country bumpkin. You are holding a bastard, and you are not worthy of being my Fulai's wife. Why don't you get out of here? I am going to chase you away with a big broom."
"Grandma, please, please let me in first. When Fu Lai comes back, you can ask him and he will know that I am really the wife he married when he was away from home. The child is so hungry that he can't stand it. He is really your great-grandson.
I came here in a hurry and I have spent all my money. If you don't want to take me in, you can leave the child with you first. It's too cold at night and he might freeze to death."
The woman's plea did not win any sympathy from the old woman. She simply took out a large broom from behind the door and swung it at the woman.
"I don't have any great-grandchildren, get out of here."
Gu Lanting didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but after seeing this scene, he had to help the woman and avoid the attack of the broom.
Seeing this, the old woman slammed the door.
The woman was none other than Wang Xiaowei. After saying goodbye to Gu Qinghuan and the others in the morning, she went to the machinery factory to look for her man. However, she was told by the security guard that outsiders were not allowed to enter the factory casually and that she should go directly to the man's house if she wanted to find him.
Fortunately, she had an envelope in her hand with the address where Chen Fulai had previously sent a letter to her family.
She had no money and couldn't take a bus, so she walked there holding her child and asking for directions along the way.
After much difficulty, we found the house, but it turned out that the family was not Chen Fulai's. They said they had moved away.
The clue was lost again. Fortunately, the neighbor knew where they moved to and pointed me in the direction. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t know what to do.
She struggled like this for a while before she found the Chen family.
However, Chen Fulai was not at home, and there was only his grandmother at home. No matter what she said, the old woman did not believe her, and her mood fell to the bottom.
It was late at night and she had no money to stay in the guesthouse.
It would be fine if she was alone, she could just get through the night, but the key point was that she was taking care of a baby...
There was no other way, she could only hold her child and wait in the tube building. As long as the location was right, Chen Fu would eventually come back.
It was cold, so she put on all the clothes she was wearing and felt a little warmer.
Apart from eating something in the morning, she had only eaten a cold bun from noon until now. Her stomach was empty, so naturally there was no milk.
The child sucked hard for a few seconds, but still no milk came, and he cried because of hunger.
She started crying too.
She has never encountered such a difficult thing in her life.
In the past, in the countryside, she was also a darling girl held in the palm of her parents' hands.
She originally thought that things would get better if she found a man, but she didn't expect him to have this attitude. She couldn't help but start to worry.
No matter how hard it was, she had to endure it. She turned on the tap in the corridor from someone's house and gulped down some water to hydrate herself.
The child fell asleep while slurping his milk.
She leaned against the corner, staring at the door intently. As she stared, her vision became blurry and she became sleepy.
Gu Lanting returned home, still feeling a little unsatisfied. He looked out the window and saw the woman curled up in a corner, holding the child and seemingly asleep.
She won't be able to wait for the person she wants to see tonight.
He ran into the young man in that family almost every morning. When he went out to work, the other person had just returned from work, probably working the night shift.
If I sleep outside in this kind of weather for a night, I'll have to go to the hospital tomorrow.
The adults are still struggling, what about the child? It’s probably only a few months old.
Gu Lanting likes children. Looking at the mother and son, he felt a little uncomfortable.
After waiting for a while, no one came to help them, so Gu Lanting sighed, put on his cotton jacket and went out.
When Lin Xiaowei was half asleep, she was suddenly shrouded in a dark shadow. She thought someone was coming to steal her child, so she opened her eyes immediately and hugged her son in fear.
Upon seeing that it was Xiao Qing who had been helping in the corridor, she came to her senses and relaxed a little.
"The person you are looking for should be working the night shift. He usually comes back around eight in the morning."
Wang Xiaowei was overjoyed when she heard this: "Thank you, comrade. I'll wait here for him to come back."
Gu Lanting thought about it for a while, and finally said: "It will freeze and spoil. If you don't mind, you can stay in my room for one night."
After saying this, he was afraid that she would misunderstand him as having bad intentions, so he quickly added: "I'm not staying at home tonight. I'm going to my sister's house. This place is left to you alone."
Wang Xiaowei was originally struggling over whether to go or not, fearing that if she went people would misunderstand her and affect her reputation, and Chen Fulai would get angry, but they and their son really needed a place to stay right now.
After Gu Lanting said this, she naturally had no worries. She stood up and thanked him with a smile: "I really don't know how to thank you, comrade, you are such a good person."
Gu Lanting was somewhat unaccustomed to being praised by others, so he turned his back and walked in front, leading Wang Xiaowei to his own home.
Although it's a small place, it has everything.
Wang Xiaowei's stomach growled with hunger. She lowered her head shyly and followed him into the house.
"Here are some pastries, please have some." Gu Lanting pointed to the pastries given by his sister on the table.
"Comrade, I really don't know how to thank you. I feel like you look very kind."
Gu Lanting thought it was just a polite remark and didn't think much about it.
After settling the mother and son, he went out again to his sister's house and decided to stay with his brother-in-law tonight.
