Every time Lin Ling saw Gu Xi talking about Wang Xu, her eyes were filled with happiness and joy. It was Wang Xu's love and care that was revealed in every detail, and Gu Xi's carefree beauty and trust: "I'm so envious. This Boss Xu is really great. Apart from him, no one can serve you well."
Gu Xi raised her eyebrows: "Ye Xinchen treats you well, spending every day with you, and even when it's windy or snowy he'll come to take a walk with you. Did you kiss me?"
Lin Ling blushed immediately, "He can't cook, so he can only take care of himself. How can he serve you like Empress Dowager Cixi? I think you should be nicer to Liu Xiuni. If she hadn't shamelessly reported you, you wouldn't have met Boss Xu, and you would have ended up living alone."
Gu Xi smiled and said, "Oh~ It seems that we have kissed each other."
Lin Ling almost buried her head in the bowl: "Gu Xi! You are so outspoken, and there are two children here."
Gu Xi looked at Pan Di and Nian Di. The two children looked at Lin Ling with sparkling eyes and curiosity: "Don't look at anything indecent, don't listen to anything indecent, eat your food. Don't fall in love too early. You can only date after you are at least 18 years old. If you date too early, your mind is not mature yet, and you will regret it."
The two children nodded in confusion. Aunt Chen and Grandma Chen couldn't help laughing: "They are only a few years old. How can they understand what you are saying to them?"
Gu Xi thought about it and said: "It's a bit early, but I'll educate him now."
At night, Lin Ling specifically asked: "Do you want me to sleep with you tonight?"
Gu Xi waved her hand: "No, I have always slept alone since I was a child. I just wanted Wang Xu not to worry about me, so I just said that casually."
Lin Ling nodded: "That's right, I don't sleep well. If you sleep with me, I might kick you off the bed."
Gu Xi immediately replied: "Then Ye Xinchen is finished, he needs to strengthen his body."
Lin Ling slapped him with her iron palm: "What does it have to do with him? Who wants to sleep with him?"
Gu Xi covered her painful arm and said, "Why are you so harsh? If you two were to get married, wouldn't it be a matter of time?"
Lin Ling sent her to the door of her house and said, "Humph, you are a girl and you are so rude. I'm going back now. If you need anything, call me."
It had been too long since she had started a fire, and she was not very good at it. After a long time, Pan Di could not bear to watch: "Gu Zhiqing, let me help you start the fire. Brother Xu asked me to take good care of you."
Gu Xi was a little embarrassed: "Do you know how to make a fire?"
Pan Di skillfully used small branches and hay to light the fire, and then slowly piled a few thicker branches on top: "I started making fire and cooking when I was 8 years old. I was not as tall as the stove, so I stood on it with a small chair."
Gu Xi sincerely admired: "You are really amazing."
Gu Xi boiled some water, and the three of them took a bath together and rubbed each other's backs.
Gu Xi was stumped again about the job of heating the kang: "Pandi, help me, do you know how to heat the kang? I really don't understand this."
Pan Di was very happy to be able to help Gu Xi: "I can, I'll help you."
Nian Di went into bed first, while Gu Xi and Pan Di, one older and one younger, were outside heating the kang in cotton jackets.
Gu Xi thought of Wang Xu's instructions to Pan Di before he left, and couldn't help but feel ashamed, because he really came right.
At this time, Wang Xu was lying on the bed in the guesthouse, looking at the night outside the window. Yin Jie was sleeping soundly on the bed next to him, snoring slightly, and was tired after a day's journey.
Wang Xu was also very tired, but he couldn't fall asleep for a while. If he was at home, he could hold Gu Xi in his arms while sleeping, but now he found it difficult to sleep alone.
I wonder if you sleep well without your own warm bed at home? Pan Di should be able to take good care of her. Do you miss me?
I fell asleep while daydreaming.
Accountant Zheng knocked on the door early in the morning: "Wang Xu, Yin Jie, are you awake yet? Have some breakfast so you can get going. Go early and come back early."
During breakfast, Accountant Zheng was also worried about Zheng Zirong and Ye Xinchen at home: "They both don't know how to cook, and I don't know if they will starve to death?
Gu Xi can’t cook either, right? What will she do if you come out? "
Wang Xu didn't expect that there was someone here who was more worried than himself: "I greeted Aunt Chen and asked Gu Xi to go to her house for dinner. I bought some meat and vegetables and sent them over."
Accountant Zheng slapped his forehead and said, "Why didn't I think of that? I hope they can be smart. Ye Xinchen and Lin Ling are dating, so it would be best if they could bring Zirong along for dinner."
For lazy people who don't know how to work, these worries about being hungry are unnecessary. After Ye Xinchen and Zheng Zirong finished the meal that Accountant Zheng prepared before going out on the first day, they came up with a solution.
Aunt Chen stood at the kitchen door and looked at the children in the yard, feeling really at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
The house is like a nursery now. When it’s time for dinner, several people show up.
Pan Di and Nian Di are young, and it is really difficult to evaluate the four of Gu Xi, Lin Ling, Zheng Zirong and Ye Xinchen.
Zheng Zirong was a little embarrassed at first: "Why is my dad out on the weekend? If it was a weekday, I would just live in the staff dormitory and wouldn't have to come back to bother Auntie."
Aunt Chen just thought it was funny: "Why bother? It doesn't matter. You brought the meat and vegetables anyway. I can cook for three people or eight people. It doesn't matter."
Ye Xinchen was much calmer in comparison: "Lin Ling has always praised Auntie for her delicious cooking. Today I finally got to eat it. It's Chinese New Year."
Lin Ling said straightforwardly: "Then you can come more often to eat. It's like Chinese New Year every day."
Ye Xinchen smiled and glanced at the others: "Okay, I'll come here often."
Gu Xi smiled with a gossipy look on her face again: "Are you here to eat or to see people? The real purpose is not to drink."
The sharp contrast between the leisurely freedom on this side and the hectic rush on the other side reminds people of the saying: Is it that "children" cannot live without "parents" or that "parents" cannot live without "children"?
The weather was calm until the third day. Before dinner, Gu Xi and the two children were watering the vegetables in the yard. Chang Ru came running over, looking haggard: "Gu Xi, let the two children come with me. Zhou He is gone."
Hearing this, Gu Xi was still a little dazed. Even though she was mentally prepared, she still felt uncomfortable.
The two children left with Chang Ru crying. They did not go to dinner even when Lin Ling called them. Gu Xi kept sitting in the yard. Snow was falling from the sky. The winter night came especially early and was especially long, bringing endless sighs.
Gu Xi was able to make a fire and boil water smoothly, all thanks to Pan Di's teaching. I wonder how the little girl will deal with the death of her mother after returning home.
After taking a shower, Gu Xi, wearing a cotton-padded jacket, was struggling to heat the kang in the yard. Hearing some movement at the gate behind him, he turned around with a wooden stick and looked at it vigilantly.
The courtyard door was gently pushed open, and Wang Xu walked in against the wind and snow. When their eyes met, Gu Xi immediately ran over. Wang Xu dropped his luggage and hugged him: "I'm back."
