Gu Fanghua prepared a rich meal, not only cooking his own food, but also roast duck, shredded pork with Beijing sauce, and various stewed dishes bought from the restaurant.
There were more than a dozen plates. The large round table was almost full.
Gu Fangxun opened a bottle of wine and filled Grandpa Du's glass first.
"Fang Xun, I won't drink it, okay?" Grandpa Du said, glancing at Grandma Du out of the corner of his eye.
The meaning was very clear, as if to say: "Old lady, I didn't want to drink this myself. I can't help it if you insist on persuading me."
In front of so many young people, Grandma Du didn't know what to say and just glared at him secretly.
Gu Fangxun pretended not to notice the old couple's little trick. He suppressed his laughter and said, "Grandpa, let's not drink too much, just two cups to relieve our fatigue."
"Oh, okay, then I'll listen to Fang Xun." Grandpa Du said happily when he saw that Grandma Du had no objection.
The women and children finished eating quickly, while a few men were still drinking.
Seeing that Grandma Du looked a little tired, Su Xieqiu asked Chenchen and Anan to take her to wash up first.
Chenchen responded and immediately helped the great-grandmother up. Anan waved to the twins and Tiantian, "Come on, sister will take you to take a bath."
The three children took their own clothes and followed her happily.
Gu Fanghua looked at their backs and sighed with a smile, "Xie Qiu, you have taught the children so well. They are sensible, hardworking, and very humorous. Haohao and Xuanxuan lived with us for a while, helping with washing vegetables, cooking, and cleaning every day. My mother and mother-in-law loved them so much."
"Especially my mom. She doesn't cook well and we rarely cook at home. She and my dad basically eat in the cafeteria. After Haohao and Xuanxuan found out, they cooked and sent meals to her every day. You don't know, but when Haohao and Xuanxuan went back, my mom cried. This time, she was the happiest person to know that you were moving to Beijing to go to school."
"Sister Fang Hua, after we settle down, we will go to visit the two aunts in two days." Su Xieqiu said, and opened the luggage they brought.
He took out a few cloth bags filled with dried mushrooms, pine nuts, hazelnuts, etc.
"Sister, take these dried food back with you when you leave. Grandma knows that Chenchen and An'an like to eat them, so she went to the village to buy them for them. These mushrooms are for the two aunts to make soup."
"Okay, then I won't be polite." Gu Fanghua grabbed a handful of pine nuts from his pocket, ate them and laughed, "Xie Qiu, these roasted pine nuts and hazelnuts are not only liked by Chenchen and An'an, but we also like them. The ones Zhenyu brought last time were eaten up by us in a short time."
The two of them sat in the living room chatting and laughing. After Grandma Du and the children had washed up, the men also left the drinking party.
Jiang Shaoting wanted to drive. He hadn't drunk tonight, so he handed a pair of car keys to Han Zhenyu.
"This is my friend's car. He hasn't used it these days. You guys just arrived, so you must have bought some things. I'll leave it here and you can drive it."
Han Zhenyu thought about it and took the key.
Since Jiang Shaoting asked to lend it to him, it must have been properly arranged.
He has a lot of things to do these days, so it would be more convenient to have a car.
"Shaoting, thank you. I'll send it to you in two days."
"No rush, just use it. This is my friend's private car." Jiang Shaoting waved his hand.
Gu Fanghua then remembered that there was one important thing he hadn't said.
"Zhenyu, Xieqiu, I have already found a school for the three children. It is the Experimental Primary School nearby. There is also a Yuhong class there. They are in the same school, so it will be convenient for them to be picked up and dropped off in the future. Moreover, this Experimental Primary School is the best school in the area, and the teaching quality is impeccable. A friend of mine is the dean of studies there, and I have already contacted him. I will take you to register in a few days."
Su Xieqiu didn't expect that she was so thoughtful and even helped find a school.
She said gratefully: "Sister Fang Hua, you even thought of all this. Thank you so much."
"This is just a small matter. If there is anything you can't handle in the future, just tell us and Shao Ting and I will help you."
Su Xieqiu didn't hesitate to respond, "Okay, Sister Fang Hua."
After the three adults left, Chenchen and Anan settled down here before school started.
Su Xieqiu and Han Zhenyu only now had time to look around this courtyard, and the more they looked at it, the more they liked it.
The surroundings were very clean and there were lanterns hanging on the veranda.
After they bought this courtyard, Han Zhenyu would ask someone to renovate it every time he came here on business trips.
The toilet and bathroom are both paved with tiled floors. The two toilets in the backyard are equipped with toilets, and the toilet in the front yard is equipped with a urinal.
The living rooms, bedrooms and furniture in the front and back yards are all fully equipped and made of high-quality wood.
The porch and doors and windows of the yard were a bit old, but now they have been repainted, the windows have new glass, and new curtains have been installed.
The kitchen was also designed with a stove on one side and a furnace on the other. There are also two large cupboards that can hold a lot of things.
The dining room next door is also tiled, with a row of wine cabinets at the innermost part, a large round table in the middle, and a small coffee table next to it.
Now the whole house looks brand new.
Su Xieqiu was very satisfied with the changes and felt that this was the home of her dreams.
An An took her arm and asked with a smile, "Aunt Su, do you think the lanterns hanging here are beautiful? My mother and I went to the department store to buy them before the New Year, and my father and brother hung them."
"Very beautiful, An An has good taste, she looks like me." Su Xieqiu smiled and touched her head, then went into the bedroom of her two sons. There was a stove burning in the room, so it was quite warm.
