Xiao Zhang continued, "This uncle has a very beautiful auntie at home. Her cooking is delicious, much more delicious than the big pot rice in the kitchen!"
Dongdong blinked and asked in a low voice: "Really?"
"Of course it's true!" Xiao Zhang vowed, "Besides, this auntie can tell you stories and even coax you to sleep before you go to bed at night!"
Dong Dong hesitated for a moment, and finally let go of Xiao Zhang's clothes. He slowly moved to Gu Shiqing's side, raised his little face, and asked timidly: "Uncle, is there really a beautiful aunt in your family?"
Gu Shiqing: "..."
He took a deep breath and tried to make his expression look less serious: "Yes, I have."
Dongdong then relaxed a little, blinked his eyes and said, "Okay, uncle, I'll go home with you then."
Gu Shiqing looked at Dongdong holding the corner of Xiao Zhang's clothes tightly and took a step back timidly. It was obvious that he was still a little afraid of him.
On the way back, he still didn't dare to get too close, but just followed Gu Shiqing closely.
At the Gu family, Lin Banxia was making medicinal food in the kitchen.
When she thought about what had happened to Gu Shiqing, she became a little absent-minded. Although she had confidence in Gu Shiqing, she still couldn't help but worry.
"Hiss..." Lin Banxia was accidentally scalded by the burn and immediately gasped.
She quickly scooped up some cold water and poured it over the red areas on her fingers.
At this moment, Gu Shiqing had already brought Dongdong back.
The two walked to the yard, and Gu Shiqing called out, "Xia Xia, I'm back."
When Lin Banxia heard Gu Shiqing's voice, she immediately put down the water in her hand and walked out quickly: "Shiqing, you're back!"
She grasped Gu Shiqing's hand, and her fingertips that were burned curled up slightly because of the pain.
As a soldier, Gu Shiqing had amazing sensitivity and immediately noticed the small blisters on Lin Banxia's fingers.
His brows furrowed tightly: "How do I do it?"
"I got scalded accidentally, but I've already rinsed it with cold water. It's nothing serious." Lin Banxia said nonchalantly. This little blister will heal in two days as long as she doesn't break it.
But Gu Shiqing felt that this was not feasible, so he hurried back to the house to get out the burn ointment and personally applied it to the burned area of Lin Banxia.
"You still have to apply medicine."
Lin Banxia couldn't help laughing when she saw Gu Shiqing looking so nervous.
At this moment, her eyes fell on the little boy behind Gu Shiqing, "Who is this child...?"
Dongdong realized that Uncle Zhang had not lied to him when he saw Lin Banxia. It turned out that this cold and fierce-looking Uncle Gu actually had a beautiful aunt at home.
Moreover, when Uncle Gu spoke to this aunt, the tone of his voice changed.
He became less cold and even applied medicine to aunt!
He smiled at the pretty auntie and introduced herself to her: "Hello, auntie, my name is Dongdong."
Gu Shiqing briefly explained Dongdong's situation. After listening, Lin Banxia immediately squatted down and smiled at Dongdong gently: "Dongdong, right? Are you hungry? Auntie just made some soup, would you like to have a bowl?"
Lin Banxia took his hand and said softly, "Then come into the house with Auntie, wash your hands first, and then eat, okay?"
Dongdong nodded obediently and followed Lin Banxia into the house. Before leaving, he looked back at Gu Shiqing, seeming a little confused - this uncle obviously looks fierce, why is the aunt at home so gentle?
Gu Shiqing: "..."
He followed behind silently, thinking to himself, should he really practice how to get along with children?
At the dinner table, Lin Banxia served Dongdong a bowl of hot chicken soup and put a piece of tender chicken into his bowl.
"Eat slowly, be careful of the heat." She reminded softly.
Dongdong held the bowl and sipped the soup with his eyes shining. He hadn't eaten such delicious food for a long time.
Gu Shiqing sat opposite, watching Dongdong wolfing down his food, frowning slightly: "Eat slowly, don't choke."
Dongdong immediately slowed down his movements and looked at Gu Shiqing cautiously.
Lin Banxia couldn't help laughing: "Don't scare him."
Gu Shiqing: "..."
He clearly just gave me a reminder, why is he scaring me again?
