"Grandma, don't be polite with me, Chi Xin and I are family.
How can it be troublesome to take care of your own brother?
Don't worry, as long as Chi Xin can adapt, I will definitely help him become independent."
The grandmother and grandson were working and talking in the kitchen. When it seemed like it was about time, Shi Qi started to cook.
After washing the raw rice twice and putting it into the pot, Shi Qi suddenly remembered something:
"By the way, grandma, where are mom and dad?
Why didn’t I see them when I came back this time?”
The last time she came back, she didn't see Gu Chijin's parents. She was taking care of her grandparents at the time, so she didn't ask much.
When he came back this time, he didn't see anyone again, and Shi Qi was a little confused.
Grandma Gu added a handful of firewood to the stove and answered casually:
"A relative of the eldest son's mother passed away, and the couple went over to help.
That relative lives far away, and I estimate it will take at least seven or eight days for him to get back."
Shi Qi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this time, she didn't have to deal with the unfamiliar Gu Dad and Gu Mom. It was really a good thing.
Gu Chijin followed Grandpa Gu to the street and bought chicken, duck, fish and pork ribs.
When he came back, his two big hands were full of things, with no space at all.
Shi Qi wiped his hands and walked out of the kitchen. Seeing that they had bought so much meat, he was immediately at a loss whether to laugh or cry:
"Can you finish all the meat you bought?"
Fortunately, it is late autumn now. If it were midsummer and there was no refrigerator, the meat would go bad within a day.
Gu Chijin's eyes were filled with helplessness. He followed Shi Qi to put the things into the kitchen and explained in a low voice:
"Grandpa was afraid there wouldn't be enough to eat, so he insisted on buying more.
If I hadn't stopped him, he would have bought a goose."
Shi Qi was shocked and asked him in a low voice:
"Is it true? There are geese for sale on the street?"
She had lived in the military family compound for so long, but had never seen a goose when she went to the city to buy vegetables.
She was very suspicious that Gu Chijin was bragging.
Gu Chijin nodded, his dark eyes, as if filled with ink, staring at Shi Qi's profile as he approached, circles of ink-colored ripples appearing in his pupils.
The corner of his mouth moved towards Shiqi's ear and Gu Chijin exhaled again:
"If I lie, punish me..."
After hearing what was said next, Shi Qi's face suddenly turned red.
He glanced towards the stove as if he was guilty, and saw that Grandma Gu was concentrating on cutting the roast duck without even glancing over here. Only then did Shi Qi breathe a sigh of relief.
However, thinking of Gu Chijin's teasing of him just now, Shi Qi couldn't help but stomped hard on the back of his foot to avenge his teasing.
Gu Chijin took a deep breath, his eyes becoming even more fiery.
In front of Grandma Gu, with an ascetic face, he leaned close to Shi Qi's ear and whispered again:
"Honey, be gentle. If you kick it and break it, I won't be able to carry you around anymore."
Shi Qi gritted his teeth and glared at him with a threatening look in his eyes.
Who wants you to hold me!
You bastard!
Hearing his wife's dissatisfaction, Gu Chijin chuckled happily and begged for mercy:
"I won't bother you anymore. I'll go out and say hello to Grandpa first, and then come in to help you right away."
Under Shi Qi's stare, Gu Chijin stood up straight and strode out.
