Hearing the voice, Gu Qiu looked up, "Teacher Qin?"
Gu Xia also looked up at her. She was an elegant woman. She must have come to the street to buy vegetables and was standing next to their stall.
She looked at Gu Qiu with a strange look, a bit of nostalgia and kindness.
Is this the Chinese teacher that Gu Qiu mentioned?
Qin Xiaoxiao heard that there was a market, and it happened to be the weekend, so she wanted to come and take a look since she was free.
After buying two bunches of vegetables, I saw a stall that was doing very good business, which seemed to be selling buns.
Qin Xiaoxiao thought it would be nice to buy some for Ning Yuan as breakfast, so she walked over.
I didn't expect it to be Gu Qiu...
The girl was not wearing her school uniform today. She was wearing a skirt and had two braids. She looked more like the person she remembered.
"Gu Qiu, why are you selling buns here?"
Gu Qiu smiled brightly, "Hello, Teacher Qin, I'm helping my uncle and aunt sell buns."
When He Ling heard it was the child's teacher, she enthusiastically pulled Qin Xiaoxiao over and asked, "Teacher Gu Qiu, I'm her aunt. Are you here to buy groceries?"
Qin Xiaoxiao looked at the couple, who looked nothing like Gu Qiu, and smiled and said,
"Yeah, I heard there's a market here, so I came to take a look. How much are your buns?"
There were only four buns left in the box. He Ling closed the lid and announced, "Everyone, we're sold out. Come back tomorrow."
Those who haven’t bought it yet, now they want to eat it even more.
"Why is it so fast? You guys have done too little."
"I want to try it to see if it tastes good. Why can't I buy it?"
"Oh, I just bought one, and my grandson said it was delicious and wanted more. How come it's gone?"
“…”
He Ling felt really bad about it. She didn't dare to make too many in the morning for fear that they wouldn't sell. How much money would she lose?
But she still had a smile on her face. This was what Gu Chun taught her: to "serve customers with a smile."
"Oh, I don't know how enthusiastic everyone is. Come back tomorrow and I will definitely make more for you to buy."
"Okay, okay, then come early tomorrow."
…
After sending everyone away, He Ling took four buns from the box and stuffed them into Qin Xiaoxiao's basket, whispering,
"Teacher Qin, these are the last four. Take them back and try them."
Qin Xiaoxiao thought that Aunt Gu Qiu was so cute. "Okay, thank you. Here's fifty cents, right?"
She was just about to take out the money when He Ling pushed it back to her, "No, no, take it back and try it. This is for the teacher."
"That won't do. It's not easy for you to make money. How can you give it to me?"
"It's okay, it's okay. I did it all by myself. It didn't take much effort. You've worked hard teaching my Gu Qiu to read."
The two of them declined several times, but Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't refuse He Ling anymore, so she had to accept the buns.
Gu Xia helped He Ling clean the box and asked her to drink some water and take a rest. They had been talking all morning.
Qin Xiaoxiao looked at him. The two siblings looked very similar and had outstanding temperaments. The more she looked at them, the more they looked like members of the Lin family. She couldn't wait to see Ning Yuan's investigation results.
So I said a few words to them and went home.
Gu Xia looked at her back. He had just greeted and said a few words to Qin Xiaoxiao, but he always felt that there was something wrong with the way she looked at them.
He frowned, wondering if this teacher had any psychological problems.
Gu Qiu patted him and said, "Brother, you're home. What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing, let's go home."
He felt that he needed to talk to his grandfather about this matter. After all, he was Gu Qiu's teacher, and he was afraid that it would be detrimental to his sister.
-
When Qin Xiaoxiao returned home, Ning Yuan was already up and reading the newspaper. "Xiaoxiao, where have you been?"
Qin Xiaoxiao took out the buns from the basket and said, "I went to the market and bought some buns for you."
Ning Yuan took it and put it on the dining table. He waited for Qin Xiaoxiao to come and sit down before the two of them had breakfast together.
Qin Xiaoxiao was absentmindedly eating buns while thinking about Gu Xia and Gu Qiu.
Ning Yuan poured her a bowl of porridge and looked at her blankly, "Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you? What are you thinking about?"
Qin Xiaoxiao turned to look at him and then talked about meeting Gu Qiu in the morning.
"You mean to say that you think your student and her brother look a lot like your cousin, but their uncle doesn't look like them at all?"
"Well, Ning Yuan, I really think they are Sister Yun's relatives. Have you found anything for me?"
Ning Yuanxian frowned. He had asked his secretary to investigate the matter, but why was there no result yet?
"Today is the weekend. I'll ask if there's any news when I go to work tomorrow."
Not long after breakfast the next day, Ning Yuan received a call from his secretary.
"Secretary Liu, what's going on?"
Secretary Liu said nervously, "Director Ning, we can't investigate the Gu family any further. Their identities are not simple."
Ning Yuan was surprised. "What do you mean? What did you find out?"
"Director Ning, I only found out that their family once lived in the large compound near the textile factory. I can't investigate further. Someone told me that this family is not simple, so it's best not to investigate further."
"Okay, I get it. Don't check it for now."
…
At the Gu family, Gu Xia called Gu Tieniu and told him about her encounter with Teacher Gu Qiu today.
Gu Tieniu's face changed. With his keen sense, he felt that there was definitely something wrong with this teacher.
"Xiao Xia, don't worry, Grandpa will find out everything. Just stay at home with your sisters."
"Okay, Grandpa, I understand."
Gu Xia hung up the phone before walking into the yard.
Gu Qiu and Gu Dong were counting money for He Ling.
