After Rong Shengyan started, Rong Shengyi also got off the bed: "I have food too, I'll go get some too."
Poor Gu Xing, all the good food was kept at home, but he ate all the food his grandfather and the others gave him.
These few candies are still here; he didn't finish them because his mother wouldn't let him eat so many at once.
Gu Xing pouted and looked at Gu Rong: "Rongbao, all my food is at home. I won't eat my older brother and sister's snacks. We'll share them with you when we get home, okay?"
"No need, this is for you," Gu Rong said, pushing a bag of candy to Gu Xing: "You're my brother, let's eat together as a family."
Gu Xing's eyes lit up instantly, and the disappointment on his face vanished in an instant. He scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "Then...then I won't be polite. Rong Bao, you're so kind. I'll give you all my snacks when we get home." As he spoke, he reached out and took the bag of candy.
Rong Shengyan and Rong Shengyi returned with their own snacks. Seeing this scene, Rong Shengyan laughed and said, "Oh, Xiaoxing, you're not being polite at all. You actually took Rongbao's things. How embarrassing."
Gu Xing chuckled: "Rong Bao gave it to me. We're family. I'll return it to Rong Bao when I get back. Let's eat together now."
Rong Shengyan said that they would eat together anyway, so the three little ones climbed onto the bed and sat together to share snacks.
The room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere, and the sweet smell of candy filled the air.
Seeing everyone so happy, Gu Rong felt a warmth in her heart. This simple atmosphere was really nice, and she really didn't want to go back.
The tense crowd outside the room felt a little relieved upon hearing the cheerful laughter coming from inside.
After lunch, Rong Xin and the others were driven back by Rong Fanyu, carrying all their bags.
When Rongxin arrived home, she looked at the place, which looked like it hadn't been lived in for a long time, and couldn't help but frown.
However, she didn't think much of it and started tidying up the house.
As for Rong Fanyu, after helping tidy up for a while, he had some things to do at home, so he went back first.
The one adult and two children left behind began to carefully tidy up the house.
Just as they were finishing up, there was a sudden, urgent knocking on the door.
Rongxin opened the door and found it was her neighbor, Aunt Wang.
Aunt Wang looked at them as they returned and couldn't help but laugh as she looked at Gu Rong behind her: "Rongxin, you're finally back."
"Rongbao, come here quickly. I brought you some freshly made osmanthus cake. Come and help your auntie taste it. If you like it, I'll make more for you later."
Rong Xin took the osmanthus cake handed to her by the other party: "Sister-in-law Wang, I told you before, don't always spoil her, or she'll get cavities."
"I put in less sugar, just right for children," Aunt Wang knew she was doing it on purpose, but didn't take it to heart, then smiled and pinched Gu Rong's little cheek:
"Alright, alright, I'm going back now. Come back and play when you're done with your work. But I haven't seen Gu Qiang come back lately. Go ask him at the factory later. You can't just keep working without taking care of your health."
"I understand. I'll go to the factory to talk to him later. Thank you, Sister Wang," Rongxin replied. After seeing Sister Wang off, she placed the osmanthus cake on the table.
Gu Rong's eyes sparkled, and Gu Xing also came over, "Rongbao, this osmanthus cake looks delicious, can I have a piece?"
"Of course, all three of us can have some, we can all eat them," Gu Rong said with a smile, taking out three pieces and giving one to each of Gu Xing and Rong Xin.
Rongxin pinched the osmanthus cake, took a bite, and then said with a smile, "Hmm, it's good, but it can't be Wang's cooking. Let's all have a piece first, and we can eat the rest after we've finished cleaning up."
"Okay," Gu Xing and Gu Rong agreed. The three of them finished their osmanthus cakes and started tidying up the house.
It wasn't a difficult task to begin with; it was just wiping off some dust. Rong Xin did most of the work, while Gu Rong and Gu Xing only brought water and washed towels.
After tidying up, the three of them happily sat in the courtyard, eating osmanthus cake and drinking water, thoroughly enjoying themselves.
Gu Rong sat down excitedly, took a bite of the osmanthus cake, and narrowed her big eyes into slits: "It's so delicious, even better than what you buy outside."
Rong Xin also praised it highly: "Yes, Aunt Wang's pastries are all so delicious. If she could do business now, she would definitely open a shop."
After finishing the pastries, Rongxin remembered what Aunt Wang had said and decided to go to the factory to ask about Gu Qiang's situation.
Looking at the two younger children, Rongxin squatted down and admonished them, "Mom is going to the factory to find your father. Don't run around at home. If you need anything, call your Aunt Wang, okay?"
Gu Rong and Gu Xing nodded in agreement at the same time: "Okay, we understand."
Rong Xin was still worried, so she went next door to find Sister Wang: "Sister Wang, I'm going to the factory. Rong Bao and Xiao Xing are at home. If they need anything, please go and check on them."
Aunt Wang nodded in agreement: "Okay, go ahead. I'll stay home. If you need anything, just have them call me."
Rong Xin smiled and nodded: "I've already spoken to them. Thank you, Sister Wang. I'll head to the factory now."
Rong Xin went straight to the factory. The gatekeeper greeted her with a smile, "Comrade Rong, it's been so many days since you last came. Are you here to see Comrade Gu? I'll go and call him for you."
Rong Xin replied with a smile, "Thank you, Uncle. Is the factory busy lately? I think Gu Qiang went home a long time ago."
"Busy? It's alright," the gatekeeper thought for a moment, then looked at Rongxin with a puzzled expression: "He's been away from the factory lately, and the factory isn't very busy. Haven't you seen him at home recently? That shouldn't be the case."
Upon hearing this, Rong Xin's expression turned sour.
But it was only for a moment. Rong Xin looked at the gatekeeper with a smile on her face and said, "I haven't been home recently. I've been at my parents' house."
I guess he's probably busy with something else, so I'd like to trouble the security guard to tell him we're back when he comes out, and that we're waiting for him at home so he can come back."
The security guard didn't think much of it and agreed with a smile: "Okay, then I won't go in. I'll tell him when he comes out."
Rong Xin smiled and turned to leave, but the moment she turned, her face fell.
She thought a lot along the way, not understanding why Gu Qiang didn't go home.
However, no matter how much she thought about it, she never considered the possibility that Gu Qiang would cheat on her.
After all, Gu Qiang had gone to great lengths to pursue her back then, and he had always treated her very well after they got married, never arguing with her.
Although Rong Xin had her suspicions, she only felt that Gu Qiang had done something behind her back.
When they got home, Gu Rong saw her mother's pale face and leaned closer: "Mom, did you see something?"
