The next morning.
Gu Jiaojiao was awakened by the ringing of the phone. She opened her eyes in confusion and found that Su Shuoci had already gotten up.
She looked up and saw that it was already nine o'clock. Thinking that today was Sunday and another man was answering the phone, she wanted to close her eyes and take another nap.
We were so noisy last night that I heard footsteps in a daze.
"Who's calling?" she asked lazily, her voice still hoarse from sleep.
Su Shuoci leaned over and whispered in her ear, "It's my second brother. He said the person in charge of that big hotel called him and asked him to go sign a contract today. Would you like to go with him?"
"Um?"
Seeing her confused look, Su Shuoci couldn't help but laugh and said, "Did you forget? Then sleep a little longer and get up for breakfast when you're hungry."
Gu Jiaojiao nodded dazedly: "Okay."
She lay on the bed and tried to close her eyes to sleep, but her mind was thinking about what he had just said.
In an instant, she was completely awake. It turned out that her second brother wanted to take over the big hotel that he had been dreaming of for a long time.
For Second Brother Gu, this was a very important matter. As soon as Gu Jiaojiao turned over, she got up and put on her clothes.
At this moment, all she wanted was to quickly help her second brother sign the restaurant contract and immediately renovate it and open it for business.
"Wife, why are you up so suddenly?" Su Shuoci asked in surprise. He was drawing in the study and immediately opened the door and came out when he heard the noise.
"I'm hungry." Gu Jiaojiao rarely acted like a spoiled child.
"There's chicken porridge in the pot. I'll go get it for you. Once you're done washing up, come downstairs for breakfast."
When Gu Jiaojiao went downstairs, she saw two bowls of porridge, a plate of dumplings, and a plate of mung bean cakes on the table.
"Su Shuoci, you haven't had breakfast yet?"
"I'll wait for you to eat together. I'll be at home with you today." The man said as a matter of course.
"Next time you can eat first. It's easy to get hungry if you don't eat breakfast after getting up for a long time."
The couple had just finished breakfast when Brother Gu knocked on the door at the gate of the yard.
The three of them went to sign the contract together, and then called Geng Haozhi to ask him to find the decorators.
"While this place is being renovated, let's go and customize the signboard." Gu Jiaojiao made arrangements in an orderly manner.
"It's just a change of boss, but the signboard has to be changed?" Second Brother Gu was stunned.
"Then we definitely have to change the sign. This is my second brother's first business, so we need to think carefully about the name of the restaurant."
"Jiaojiao, let Grandpa and Dad come up with the name for the restaurant. Then my second brother will find someone to run it, and we'll go home and cook and eat."
"Jiaojiao, Su...brother-in-law, why don't you go home for dinner? Mom must have prepared it." Second Brother Gu invited warmly.
"That's fine. We had agreed before that we would go home for dinner every weekend, but I've been busy lately."
"Jiaojiao, do we really have to go to my father-in-law's house for dinner?" In fact, I prefer to cook for you, Su Shuoci looked at his wife eagerly.
"It's already lunchtime. I know you're taking a day off and want to make me something delicious. We have a lot of time together."
Gu Jiaojiao wanted to go home to be with her grandfather and parents, and she was reluctant to let her husband work hard to cook.
Her mother is now a full-time cook at home, and she feels more accomplished when they come home for dinner.
Especially when everyone praised her mother's cooking skills, it was obvious that Mother Gu was in a very good mood.
People all like to hear good things, but no one will praise others for no reason.
Sometimes people who can talk to you nicely do so to make friends with you, and sometimes they do so because they have something to ask of you.
Sometimes they want to put you on the fire and roast you, and sometimes they have other intentions towards you.
Gu Jiaojiao has always been rational. When someone praises her, she always tries to figure out their motives.
I will never just care about my own listening pleasure, otherwise, I will easily be overpraised.
For example, when a couple is together, the wife always praises her husband for being hardworking and cooking delicious food.
As a result, the husband is always doing housework and cooking, while the wife is leisurely watching TV and browsing her mobile phone.
Just think about it, if this is the case for couples, what about others?
Her mother was so praised by her father that she willingly cooked at home, while her father read the newspaper all day...
"Jiaojiao, get in the car, let's go home for dinner." Brother Gu urged her excitedly.
As Su Shuoci's car arrived at the gate of the Gu family's yard, Gu Jiaojiao saw Second Aunt Gu and an older aunt pushing and shoving each other from the car window.
This second aunt of hers is really unpopular and can fight with anyone.
But if she doesn't love herself, how can others help her?
Respecting the fate of others is Gu Jiaojiao's life code.
She didn't intend to meddle in other people's business, but curiosity drove her to roll down the window.
Then I heard Aunt Gu yelling, "Go away! Stop talking nonsense in front of my door."
"I'm telling the truth. Your sister-in-law looks younger than you. Everyone, come and judge for yourself. What I'm saying is..."
"Get lost." The aunt was interrupted by Aunt Gu in a rage before she could finish her words.
In fact, she also saw that her sister-in-law was much younger than her. How could she be willing to accept this?
She has been living a privileged life in the imperial capital, while her sister-in-law has been feeding pigs on the farm for many years, and now she looks even rougher than her!
"Even if I leave, it won't change the fact that you're much older than your sister-in-law. Why are you so fierce? I just want you to ask your sister-in-law for us how she maintains her skin."
Only after hearing this did Gu Jiaojiao realize that the auntie was also a person who loved beauty.
She happened to be planning to make skincare products, so she stuck her head out of the car window and said, "Auntie, if you want to know, wouldn't it be better to go in and ask the person involved?"
"Little girl, you don't know that I am not familiar with the eldest sister-in-law of the Gu family." The aunt said embarrassedly.
"Once is new, twice is familiar. How can you become familiar with it if you don't go in?" Gu Jiaojiao coaxed.
"Really? But Second Sister-in-law Gu said her eldest sister-in-law..."
"Get out and stop talking nonsense at my door." Mrs. Gu became even more anxious. She didn't have the nerve to say bad things about her in front of someone else's daughter.
"I'm standing at the door of Grandpa Gu's house now. Why are you coming over to bite me?" The aunt quickly walked a few steps to the gate of Gu's yard.
Gu Jiaojiao: ...
Can it still be done this way?
But seeing Second Aunt Gu looking like she wanted to eat someone, Gu Jiaojiao thought this aunt was quite cute.
If Second Aunt Gu wasn't so snobbish, perhaps the relationship between her and her sisters-in-law wouldn't be so strained.
It's not that Second Aunt Gu wants to please Mother Gu but she can't bring herself to do so. It has to be said that Second Aunt Gu is also very pitiful.
But Gu Jiaojiao would not persuade her. What can convince a person is never reason, but the wall.
"Little girl, are you Grandpa Gu's granddaughter? We heard that the Gu family's granddaughter is as beautiful as a fairy. Seeing her today, it is indeed true."
"Haha, thank you for the compliment, auntie. Let my second brother take you into the house." Gu Jiaojiao said with a smile.
If a woman is only beautiful, there will naturally be some unexpected surprises, but there will definitely not be much gain.
But if she is both beautiful and talented, she will definitely be a hit.
