In the yard, An An and Kang Kang looked at the strangers who suddenly appeared in their house, and they both had puzzled expressions on their faces.
"An'an, Kang'kang, don't you recognize your uncle?" Gu Zhen walked up to the two little guys with a hurt look on his face.
"hug!"
When An An heard him say this, her eyes suddenly lit up, because she recognized that the person in front of her was the uncle who often held her and fed her when she was a child.
Kang Kang also recognized Gu Zhen at this time, but he was already over two years old and he thought he was a little adult, so he didn't act like a spoiled child like An An.
"Hahaha... An An, you still have a conscience, unlike your elder brother who has already forgotten about me!"
After Gu Zhen said this, he lifted An An above his head.
The little girl started to giggle.
Kang Kang watched from the side and curled his lips in disdain. His sister was still as childish as before. She would be as happy as a little fool as long as others teased her a little.
"This must be Kang Kang, he's really handsome, and looks just like his father!"
Gu Zhen's wife looked at Kang Kang with a loving expression on her face.
She was not destined to give birth to a son in her life, and Gu Zhen never despised her. Even though they only had one daughter, the couple had been very loving over the years.
No matter what people outside say, the couple still remains the same as when they first got married.
So, when she saw Kang Kang, the joy in her eyes could not be faked.
She never gave birth to a boy in her life and always felt guilty towards Gu Zhen, guilty about his love for her, and guilty about leaving the Gu family without an heir.
The appearance of Gu Hong was like a brilliant light in her life.
The guilt in my heart gradually dissipated a lot.
Most women are very emotional.
"Kang Kang, hurry up and call uncle grandma, this is your uncle's wife!" Shen Ningsi said with a smile on his face.
"Uncle milk..."
Kang Kang spoke seriously and gave her a very standard salute, but his voice was still childish, which made people feel more fond of him when they saw it.
"Okay, okay, our Kang Kang is such a little man! Someone, come and get all the things I prepared!"
After saying this, the maids and servants outside came in carrying boxes of various sizes.
As they were talking, Gu Xiuwen and Gu Xiuwu, brother and sister, walked in from outside.
It turned out that Shen Ningsi had just sent someone to call them back from the private school. After all, one should be cautious when important relatives come to the house.
"This must be Xiuwen, Xiuwu, and Yun'er, right? They are indeed very outstanding in appearance."
Mrs. Gu saw three more people walking into the house, and the smile on her face remained unchanged.
"You guys came just in time, don't accuse me of being partial. I've even prepared gifts for you this time."
As soon as Mrs. Gu said this, the servants had already opened all the boxes.
"You are Xiuwen, right? This is a gift prepared for you by your aunt." Mrs. Gu said with a smile as she looked at the slightly older Gu Xiuwen, and waved to him.
Seeing this, Gu Xiuwen turned his head slightly to look at Shen Ningsi beside him. After getting her consent, he bowed and walked up.
"I don't know what you brothers like, so I prepared a set of four treasures of the study for each of you, as well as a jade pendant. Every young master in the capital has one. This is the material I prepared for you! Originally, I wanted to make a set of clothes for each of you, but half a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and I don't know how old you have grown!"
Mrs. Gu said with a smile on her face.
Seeing this, Gu Xiuwen hurriedly took it!
After hearing and seeing so much during this period of time, Mr. Du has realized that the total price of the four treasures of the study that Mrs. Gu gave him must be at least a thousand taels of silver.
Although I don’t know the value of this jade pendant, judging from its color, it should not be cheap.
Gu Xiuwu's things were almost the same as his, except that the style of the jade pendant was slightly different.
Gu Yuner had even more things, not only the four treasures of the study, but also a complete set of headwear, and more materials for clothes.
Her big eyes had already narrowed as she looked at him.
The gifts for An An and Kang Kang were similar. The two younger children received more enlightenment books and abacus.
An An also has a gold collar that she wears around her neck. It looks particularly cute as the bells sway.
Fang Xiwan, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but laugh.
"Sister-in-law, look at this gold collar. It was originally something that a grandmother like me should have bought."
Although Fang Xiwan said this, there was still no dissatisfaction in her eyes.
When she heard that she was going to have a grandson, she was so excited that she rushed over from the capital overnight without preparing anything.
"Haha... Isn't it the same whether you or I give this to my sister-in-law? We are both their elders!"
Mrs. Gu said with a smile on her face, "After not seeing Fang Xiwan for half a year, she still missed her strangely."
"Aunt, you don't know that during the time you were away from the capital, my mother kept talking about you. My ears are almost callused!"
Gu Yan walked up to Fang Xiwan and spoke with a look of grievance.
"Haha, don't listen to that little girl. Her nagging is just as loud as mine. You're not in the capital, so the mansion is pretty quiet!"
Mrs. Gu looked at her daughter helplessly.
"Why didn't you even say hello when you came this time?" After a few people sat down, Fang Xiwan asked with a puzzled look on her face.
"How dare you say that? When you two came here, didn't you rush here overnight? I finally made it to the tenth day of the first lunar month and found an excuse to leave the capital!"
Shen Ningsi listened to the conversation between the two sisters-in-law and knew that they had a very good relationship. She also felt very warm living in such a big family in the future.
"Mom, Aunt, you two can chat here for a while. I'm going to the kitchen to prepare lunch!"
"That's fine. Thank you for your hard work today. Auntie won't be mean to you. Go back and listen to your uncle tell you how good your cooking is!"
Mrs. Gu was not polite to her and seemed to be a very straightforward person.
After listening to it, Shen Ningsi nodded and left with a smile on his face.
But not long after she walked out, she found that Gu Yan had been following her.
Shen Ningsi couldn't help but stop and turned to look at her with a puzzled look.
"Sister-in-law, my father kept praising your cooking skills, so I want to learn from you..."
Gu Yan was still a little embarrassed when she said this. After all, her action was a bit abrupt.
"Okay, but you've all been exhausted from the journey. I'll teach you after you've had a couple of days' rest."
Shen Ningsi could see that what Gu Yan said was completely sincere, and there was no shrewd expression on her face. It could be seen that Madam Gu had taught her very well.
