Gu Jiaojiao raised her head when she heard the voice and shifted her gaze to Gu's mother, only to see a smile on her face.
Her beautiful eyes turned into crescent shapes when she smiled, making her crow's feet appear deeper. It was obvious that she was in a good mood.
Gu Jiaojiao looked at the large table of dishes and said, "Mom, you cooked so many dishes today. You must have worked so hard."
Mother Gu looked at her daughter's bright smile, especially her son-in-law's black eyes which were glued to her daughter, and she smiled gently and said.
"Shuo Ci, Jiao Jiao, why didn't you come back for lunch? Mom isn't tired at all. I'd be happier if you came back for lunch every day."
Gu Jiaojiao took a step forward, took her mother's hand and said with a smile, "Then my brother Shuoci and I will go home for dinner every Sunday from now on. You must make delicious food for us."
When Brother Gu heard his sister say that she would come back often for dinner, he happily rushed to speak up.
"Jiaojiao, Second Brother is worried that you won't have time to come back for dinner. I've also learned how to cook, and I'll show you my cooking skills tomorrow."
Mother Gu smiled kindly: "Oh, I was wondering why your second brother wanted to learn to cook. It turns out he wanted to cook specially for us Jiaojiao."
She turned to the second brother Gu who was standing beside her and said, "Jingtai, don't you think so?"
"Yeah, hehe, not entirely. I also make it for grandpa and mom and dad to eat together." Second Brother Gu touched the back of his head and smiled foolishly.
Gu Jiaojiao was deeply moved and smiled, "That's what I told you, second brother is clearly trying to please Grandpa and Mom and Dad."
"Yes, yes...I was wondering why this kid likes to go into the kitchen so much. It turns out he is learning how to cook and trying to please our Jiaojiao." Father Gu quickly agreed.
Mr. Gu also smiled and said, "I also think Jingtai just wants to please Jiaojiao, so he works so hard to learn cooking. We are just doing it by the way."
"No way? It's really hard to refuse your kindness, little sister. My brother Shuo Ci and I would like to thank you, second brother, in advance." Gu Jiaojiao smiled with all eight teeth showing.
"Haha... I'd like to thank you, second brother. I'm looking forward to tomorrow's meal." Grandpa Gu laughed heartily.
"Although Jingtai is the least educated person in our family, he is also the most sensible child. Dad is very pleased."
Brother Gu lowered his head in shame as he listened to the family's laughter.
Unlike his sister, he is lively and cheerful. He is kind, cute, and capable, and is loved by the whole family.
His second brother has been talkative and playful since he was a child, and he is also good at pleasing his parents.
As for him, he was shy and just listened to their noise in silence.
He didn't know when it started, but he was always forgotten by everyone at home, intentionally or unintentionally.
The more Brother Gu thought about it, the more embarrassed he became. He didn't want his sister to forget him, so he said it with a shameless face.
"Grandpa, you guys praising my second brother so much makes me feel like an unfilial child."
After hearing what his eldest grandson said, Mr. Gu exchanged a look with Gu's father. The expression in his eyes was as if he was wondering how this guy had gotten into the Gu family's bloodline.
Old Master Gu looked at his eldest son seriously and spoke earnestly.
"Jinghua, you can't say that. You've been much more sensible than the second brother since you were a child. You're so sensible that it makes us feel distressed."
If you stopped thinking about that ungrateful bastard Sheng Yueliang, would we really ignore you?!
Father Gu also frowned and said, "Jinghua, your grandfather is right. You are the most filial child in our family. You have made us worry-free since you were young."
But why can't you listen to our advice? If you were smarter and gave up that ungrateful person, we wouldn't ignore you!
Brother Gu's face turned red when his grandfather and father praised him. It turned out that they had not forgotten him.
Grandpa Gu saw his grandson's face flushed, and he couldn't help but teasing him, "Jinghua, are you shy already?"
Brother Gu's ears were burning from Grandpa Gu's teasing. He said uncomfortably: "Grandpa..."
"Haha...Okay, okay, let's eat quickly. Don't let Jiaojiao starve." Father Gu laughed twice, which was rare for him.
"Well, come and sit down and have dinner." Mother Gu pulled Gu Jiaojiao to sit on her right.
After everyone was seated, Mother Gu picked up the serving chopsticks and put a few pieces of pork ribs in the bowls of the four children.
Brother Gu was in a particularly good mood today, and he also picked up the serving chopsticks to help Gu Jiaojiao pick up some food. Brother Gu was unwilling to be left behind.
Gu Jiaojiao saw that the bowl had instantly become piled up like a small mountain. She said helplessly, "Oh, Mom, my two brothers, how can I finish all the food you gave me?"
Second Brother Gu said calmly: "It's okay, just eat slowly. If you can't finish it, give it to me."
He had wanted to say this for a long time, but he never dared to say it because he was afraid that his brother-in-law would punish him.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, he felt a chill down his spine, and he knew that it was his brother-in-law who was glaring at him.
He picked up a piece of meat and put it into Gu's mother's bowl and said, "Mom, don't just focus on giving us some, eat more yourself."
Brother Gu immediately agreed, "Mom, you've worked hard. Don't spoil everyone. We can just pick up the food ourselves."
Mother Gu looked at her eldest son and said, "Jinghua, you should eat more. Why don't you gain weight? Is your body not fully recovered yet?"
"Mom, my brother's health is fine now. He's just worried too much. He'll be fine once he untangles his worries.
Shuoci and I are in a hurry to move because we have a laboratory in our new house. I need to find time to make some pills for you to take care of your health."
Gu Jiaojiao knew that Su Shuoci really wanted to move, but she didn't want to make Grandpa Gu and her parents feel uncomfortable.
So I thought of using the spiritual spring water in the space to make some pills to compensate them.
She has always been a concise and straightforward person, and believes that family members should be honest with each other.
Like family affection and love, the most frightening thing is to hide it.
If you explain it clearly but the other party still doesn't want to change, then he is just pretending to be confused, just like Brother Gu.
"Jiaojiao, Shuoci, you've worked so hard for us. Dad thought you didn't want to live with us!"
"How could that be!" Gu Jiaojiao smiled awkwardly. In fact, she just didn't want to live with Brother Gu.
It makes me angry just looking at his melancholy expression. As for Su Shuoci, he probably thinks the same way!
"Haha...Okay, grandpa would like to thank Jiaojiao and Shuoci here." Old Master Gu laughed happily.
The Gu family had a very happy dinner. Everyone spoke freely and no longer had any concerns about Gu Jiaojiao and her husband moving out.
After dinner, Grandpa Gu took Gu Jiaojiao and the others for a walk in the yard to help digest the food.
The two grandchildren of the Han and Xiao families sent Gu Jiaojiao to the door of the Gu family and went back, making an appointment to pick her up at nine o'clock tomorrow.
It was not until ten o'clock in the evening that everyone went back to their rooms to sleep. After Su Shuoci finished washing up, he took Gu Jiaojiao aside to talk.
The words he had been holding back all night came out like pouring beans, and he also said what he had previously guessed was instigated by the woman from Uncle Gu's family.
Finally, he said uncertainly, "Geng Haozhi said he saw Jiang Ruyan eating in the restaurant."
