Yuan Ping particularly liked this small villa with a yard. It was close to Gu Xi, and Gu Xi's family was also very nice, so she didn't have to worry about the embarrassment of being alone.
The whole city is full of vitality. Although everyone is busy making a living, the girls on the street wear dresses of various styles, unlike the same old ones in town.
Hong Qin also saw her love for it: "Since you like it here, we can stay here and take care of Sister Gu Xi. If we go to a place where we are not familiar with, I will be worried about you being alone at home if I go out with the car.
Gu Xi said her mother will retire next year. If the college entrance examination is really resumed, Gu Xi and Wang Xu will also be back by the end of the year. You and them will have a companion. "
Yuan Ping nodded: "Let's go look at the house tomorrow and go out for a walk to see the local customs and habits. If we are lucky, we will stay here."
The two were so tired that they didn't even have time to pack their luggage. When Gu Xi came to call them for dinner, they didn't even have the energy to go. So Gu Xi went back and brought some food over. The two hurriedly thanked her and then went straight to bed to catch up on some sleep.
Tian Congbao was the most energetic among the group. During lunch, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Do people here live in such big houses? I feel like I'm dreaming."
After eating a few mouthfuls of food, he thought of something and looked Wang Xu up and down: "Brother, how could you marry Gu Zhiqing? You have to go and burn incense again when you go back."
Wang Xu patted his head lightly: "Eat your meal, what do you know, kid? This is called charm."
Gu Xi almost spit out a mouthful of rice. Gu Weiguo and Chen Minhua couldn't help laughing. Gu Chao couldn't help but speak up for Wang Xu: "You can't say that. My sister can't find another man as good as Wang Xu."
Gu Xi doesn't set a goal for herself: "That's not necessarily true. Wang Xu is getting better and better after being with me. We are both getting better and better. So I have to find someone who shares the same values and can make progress together."
After dinner, the three of them went back to the house to rest. They both took a shower. Wang Xu helped Gu Xi dry her hair. Gu Xi looked at Wang Xu in the mirror and said, "Hubby, if you grow your hair longer and part it on the side, you will look handsome. Your current buzz cut looks a bit fierce. And you have a lot of hair. I want to see other hairstyles of yours."
Wang Xu doesn't care about appearance: "If you like, I'll let it grow longer. I'll listen to you. Anyway, my appearance is to please you."
Gu Xi was held by Wang Xu and lay on the bed, nestling in Wang Xu's arms: "Actually, I still have something to say. I am particularly satisfied that we can stabilize each other's emotions, open our hearts, and be ourselves without scruples."
Wang Xu hugged Gu Xi and closed his eyes: "I understand your implicit meaning, and you understand my hesitation. We will take each other's affairs to heart and make sure that everything is responded to and settled."
"Correct." Gu Xi's voice became softer. Wang Xu knew that she was so comfortable that she was about to fall asleep, so he said nothing more. They hugged each other quietly and fell asleep together.
I slept until dinner time. Hong Qin and Yuan Ping had already come. Yuan Ping was helping Chen Minhua pick vegetables, while Hong Qin and Gu Weiguo were discussing Shanghai cuisine.
"Xixi, you guys are awake now. It's time to eat. Your brother took Congbao to the People's Park and they will probably be back soon."
Gu Xi ran over and sat down next to her mother: "My brother finally found someone to play with. He probably went boating. He has wanted to go boating for a long time. A man stays young until he dies."
Chen Minhua smiled and praised Gu Chao: "He is usually very well behaved at home. His only fun is to think about making money all day long. He bought his own house with his own money, and he also spent money on the decoration here. He refused to spend a penny from us."
After hearing this, Yuan Ping was also envious: "Sister Minhua is so lucky to have beautiful and filial children. When Gu Xi comes back, the family will be reunited. It's really enviable."
Chen Minhua smiled from ear to ear: "As long as they live a good life, Lao Gu and I will have no worries."
Gu Xi leaned against her mother and said, "Mom, you and dad should take good care of yourselves and stay healthy, which will help me and my brother. You don't need to worry about anything else. The most you should worry about is that my brother doesn't have a partner."
"Why are you talking about me finding a partner again? I knew you couldn't hold back your farts."
Gu Chao happened to come back with Tian Congbao, carrying a lot of snacks and fruits, and heard Gu Xi chirping at him behind his back.
Gu Xi was not embarrassed by being caught, but instead complained first: "You are so rude, no wonder you can't find a partner."
Gu Chao imitated Gu Xi's usual humming: "Girls chasing after me can line up from here to Shilipu Wharf. I just want to make more money and consider personal issues after you come back. Who knew that while I was waiting, you secretly got married first."
Gu Xi quickly stood up and covered his mouth: "Can you please stop talking about things that are not related to the topic?"
After playing for an entire afternoon, Tian Congbao and Gu Chao have developed a deep friendship: "Hey Gu Zhiqing, please let go of Brother Chao. He took me to go boating this afternoon. We were both really good. When we met another boat that wanted to compete with us in speed, we cooperated very well and I used all my strength to win."
Gu Xi looked at Gu Chao jokingly: "That's amazing."
Wang Xu walked over and was about to go to the kitchen to help, but was driven out by Gu Weiguo and Hong Qin. The two chatted from cooking to management, feeling like they had met too late.
"Gu Xi. My father and I used to be the best partners in the kitchen, but now Lao Hong has taken it away and I have been kicked out of the kitchen."
Gu Xi patted the seat next to her and said, "Come and sit here. The three people with the highest status in the family are all here. You should flatter them. Why are you going to the kitchen? You should find a way to jump out of the "established class" and be socially compatible with the upper class."
Wang Xu was very interested in what Gu Xi said, but since his mother-in-law was present, he couldn't touch her, otherwise he would have to kiss her.
He walked over, took Gu Xi's hand and gently squeezed it: "My wife is right. Mom, I will help you pick the vegetables, you can just supervise me. Sister Yuan has been here for half a day. How is it? Are you getting used to it?"
Yuan Ping nodded immediately: "This place is really nice. Lao Hong and I walked around the area. We were like bumpkins and had never seen many things. We also saw a tailor shop that made cheongsams, which were really beautiful.
There is also a coffee shop. I have only heard about it here, but today I saw it for real. Then I saw the steamed buns, and Lao Hong was craving for them. We bought one or two and sat down to taste them. The lady in the shop was very enthusiastic. When she heard that we had just arrived in Shanghai, she recommended us to drink the double soup. The soup tasted very special and was very fresh. "
Gu Xi listened with a smile. Wang Xu saw that Yuan Ping was indeed very happy: "Sister Yuan has been here for a long time, and she has become much more lively. She seems to be very satisfied."
Yuan Ping glanced at Chen Minhua a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry for being a little excited. It's mainly because in the town, when I go out, I will run into those people under Lao Hong. It feels like they are everywhere, like I'm being monitored. I don't like to go out. Besides, there are only supply and marketing cooperatives and state-owned restaurants on the street. There's nothing to visit."
Chen Minhua smiled and pulled Yuan Ping's hand: "As long as you are happy, it's good for people to be a little more energetic. I will take you around again tomorrow."
Yuan Ping also held Chen Minhua's hand tightly: "I will go to look at houses tomorrow. If you like it, you can decide as soon as possible. I feel that buying a house will make you feel truly stable and have a home."
