Shi Qi's gaze was still fixed on Gu Chijin's back when he suddenly heard Grandma Gu's teasing voice from behind him:
“Oh, it’s better to be young.
Young people are energetic and healthy.
What to say or do, no worries.
Unlike us, who are old and frail, when we go out together, we are afraid that each other will bump into something.
My granddaughter-in-law, you must cherish these years of your youth.
If you want to eat or play anything, just do it with your two sons.
Enjoy everything you can while you're young, so you don't end up with inconveniences when you're old."
Shi Qi knew that Grandma Gu must have seen Gu Chijin teasing her just now.
Shi Qi was embarrassed to be seen by the elders. After listening to Grandma Gu's words, he met her kind eyes and nodded randomly with a red face:
"I understand, grandma."
Gu Chijin left the kitchen for about ten minutes and came back in quickly.
After coming in, Gu Chijin rolled up his sleeves and took over the work from Grandma Gu.
"Grandma, go out and talk to Grandpa for a while. Shiqi and I are here."
Grandma Gu smiled so hard that her teeth were visible and nodded repeatedly:
“Come on, come on, come on, you do it, you do it.
Grandma wouldn't be here to huddle with you."
When Grandma Gu walked out of the door happily, Shi Qi and Gu Chi Jin looked at each other and saw smiles in each other's eyes.
"Let me do it. Help me fry the duck."
After ordering Gu Chijin to do other things, Shi Qi took the kitchen knife from his hand and tucked the hair behind his ears.
Seeing her serious expression, Gu Chijin curled the corners of his mouth and turned sideways to take the chopped duck.
Both of them were young and worked efficiently. Shi Qi cut the meat and prepared the vegetables, while Gu Chijin had already fried the duck and made some fried eggs.
Looking at him waving the spatula, Shi Qi inexplicably wanted to laugh.
I simply asked him to cook the remaining dishes while I went to the stove to light the fire and be lazy.
Gu Chijin looked at her lovingly and continued to work on the dishes in his hands.
There are many people at home today, and Shiqi prepared enough dishes.
The fish that Grandpa Gu and Gu Chijin bought were still alive, so they didn’t need to cook them yet. They just cooked the roast duck and chicken.
As for the spare ribs, considering that Grandpa Gu has bad teeth, Shi Qi thought about it and decided to make a stew.
Add some radishes, potatoes, and some blanched vegetables, and it will warm you up even in late autumn.
Stewed spare ribs, roast duck, roast chicken, scrambled eggs, twice-cooked pork, and stir-fried shredded potatoes, six generous dishes, were quickly prepared by the two of them.
Smelling the delicious food, Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu were extremely happy.
While talking to Gu Chixin in the yard, he glanced towards the kitchen door.
"Grandpa, Grandma, Chi Xin, it's time to eat."
Shi Qi walked towards the lobby with the dishes in his hand. Seeing the three generations of grandfather and grandson in the yard, he greeted them with a smile.
Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu stood up immediately, agreed with a "eh" in their mouths, and hurried to the kitchen to help serve the dishes.
Gu Chixin had never been to the kitchen before. Seeing everyone busying themselves happily, he held the design draft tightly in his hand and wanted to go in to help, but he didn't dare.
He stood there very nervously.
Shi Qi put the dishes on the table, and when he came out and saw him standing alone in the yard, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly and shouted happily:
"Chi Xin, come and help your sister-in-law."
Someone needed him. Gu Chixin nodded shyly, moved his feet, and ran a few steps to Shi Qi.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law."
He lowered his head and called out timidly, Gu Chixin was a little afraid to look up.
Shi Qi knew that he was shy, so he didn't force him. He reached out and took his hand and walked towards the kitchen.
Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu brought out the dishes and were stunned when they saw Shi Qi leading Gu Chixin in.
But seeing Gu Chixin's excited and happy face, the two old men didn't say anything, just smiled, and carried the dishes to the lobby.
"Chi Xin, can you help my sister-in-law serve five bowls of rice and bring them to the hall?"
Seeing Shi Qi bending down to talk to Gu Chixin, Gu Chijin, who was serving the last dish, raised his eyebrows but said nothing.
Staring at Shi Qi's expectant eyes, Gu Chixin nodded with red ears, his voice as soft as a mosquito's hum:
"Okay. I'll serve the food."
Seeing him so well behaved, with his long eyelashes fluttering and his cautious look, Shi Qixin was almost melted by his cuteness.
Gently rubbing his head, Shiqi placed the clean bowl in front of him and turned to get the chopsticks.
For a child like Gu Chixin, we must let him know that he is also needed.
Only when he is affirmed will he have the desire to explore.
When Shiqi was here, she wanted him to change his lifestyle.
When picking up the chopsticks, Shi Qi's eyes were always on Gu Chixin, watching him clumsily pick up the rice spoon and scoop rice into the bowl, one spoonful at a time. His serious and cute look made Shi Qi couldn't help laughing.
Gu Chijin had been paying attention to the interaction between the two. Seeing that Gu Chixin listened to Shi Qi so much, he looked at Shi Qi in surprise.
Facing her bright smile, Gu Chijin's heart moved, but he didn't bother to ask the reason.
It's been a few days, I don't know if she's feeling better...
If only...
While Gu Chijin was lost in thought, Gu Chixin had already brought two bowls of rice to the lobby.
Seeing that he was still helping with the work, Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu praised him several times, which made Gu Chixin's already red ears even redder.
Shi Qi waited patiently for Gu Chixin to make three trips back and forth to serve the meal, then followed him and Gu Chijin into the main hall.
It was rare for Gu Chijin and Shi Qi to come back, and Grandpa Gu was so happy that he ran into the house and brought out the wolfberry wine he had brought.
He asked Grandma Gu to go to the kitchen to get a few empty bowls, and Grandpa Gu poured half a bowl for Gu Chijin and himself.
Shi Qi saw that he had drunk a little too much, frowned, and began to persuade him:
"Grandpa, given your current physical condition, you should drink less."
