"Hehe, so the eldest brother of the Li family came to see me today. Don't worry, our second brother Gu is a very good person."
Han Jingyi said this with a smile, and stood up to help everyone serve soup, handing the first bowl to Su Shuoci.
In fact, he really wanted to give it to their aunt, but he knew that his brother-in-law would have to serve the soup to her himself.
"Jing Yi is right. Our Second Brother Gu is a man of unquestionable character. Big Brother Li can rest assured."
Second Brother Gu's ears turned red from the praise. He stood up, brought a bowl of soup, and handed it to the eldest brother of the Li family with a silly smile.
"Try this soup and see how it tastes. Your sister was just joking, I won't take it seriously."
Hearing this, Li Xiulan immediately stood up and said loudly: "I'm not kidding, I just like you."
Second Brother Gu: ...
He was very confused. They seemed to have only met once, so why would she like him?!
But he was too embarrassed to ask directly, for fear of hurting the girl's self-esteem.
"My brother Gu has only been back in the capital for half a year. Sister Li, what do you like about him?" Xiao Rui asked curiously.
Second Brother Gu pretended to lower his head to drink the soup, but in fact he was listening with his ears perked up. He also wanted to know why the girl from the Li family liked him.
"Because..." Li Xiulan thought for a moment and suddenly answered seriously, "Because he is handsome and good-looking."
"Puchi." Gu Jiaojiao couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The eldest brother of the Li family was also amused. "Lanlan told us that she is willing to work with the second brother of the Gu family in the sun and rain to sell pancakes at the stall. Is it just because he is handsome?"
When he learned about Second Brother Gu's situation, he was willing in his heart, so he deliberately told everyone that his sister was not a money-grubber.
Li Xiulan was not aware of this, she still looked at Brother Gu seriously and spoke.
"I not only like your appearance, I like your character more. A man like you is worth pursuing."
"Hehe." Second Brother Gu laughed dryly twice, and his dark face turned red like liver.
He readily said, "Thank you for your pursuit. You must be hungry too. Have a bowl of soup first."
As Brother Gu said this, he handed her a bowl of soup and picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs with chopsticks and put it into the empty bowl in front of Li Xiulan.
"Okay...thank you, second brother." Li Xiulan nodded flattered, sat back in her seat, and immersed herself in drinking soup and eating pork ribs.
When Second Brother Gu saw his brother-in-law Su Shuoci, he helped his wife to serve soup and pick up dishes as soon as they sat at the table.
First, put a bowl of soup in front of her, then put a few slices of beef into the empty bowl in front of her.
Then he carefully removed the fish bones and put the fish meat into his wife's plate.
He stared at her eagerly and asked expectantly, "Wife, is it delicious? If any dish is not delicious, just give it to me."
Gu Jiaojiao picked up a piece of beef and put it into her mouth, chewing it slowly: "Not bad, you guys can eat as much as you want, don't be polite."
Others also picked up their favorite dishes. All the dishes were delicious and everyone praised them highly.
After eating for a while, Brother Gu realized that Li Xiulan had not picked up any food. He picked up some food with chopsticks and put it into Li Xiulan's bowl.
"Try this beef. It's fatty but not greasy, fresh and tender. It's delicious. Don't be shy. Just help yourself to whatever you want."
"Well, oh, let me try it." Li Xiulan picked up a piece of beef nervously and took a bite.
"It's really delicious. This is the most delicious beef I have ever eaten." Li Xiulan smiled.
The main reason is that it was picked by Second Brother Gu. Not to mention beef, even the grass eaten by cows would be delicious to her.
"It's delicious, just eat more. What else do you want to eat? Call me and get it for you." Second Brother Gu also smiled.
Li Xiulan secretly looked up at him, only to see that he was only focused on the food in the bowl and didn't even glance at her.
She couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, but she also felt a little sweet when she thought about him helping her pick up the food.
So she mustered up the courage to pick up a large piece of pig's trotter and put it into Brother Gu's bowl, "You should eat more too."
"Oh, my future sister-in-law now knows how to feel sorry for my second brother." Gu Jiaojiao joked with a smile.
She was served by Su Shuoci and ate happily, her mouth full of oil, but the man would wipe it off for her.
Li Xiulan blushed and scolded, "Jiaojiao, look at how you talk."
"Sister-in-law, is it really okay for you to tease your future sister-in-law like this?" Fu Junyuan also said with a smile.
Everyone was chatting and laughing, and the meal ended in a happy atmosphere.
After dinner, Su Shuoci took Geng Haozhi and Fu Junyuan directly to the factory.
Gu Jiaojiao and Li Xiulan took Han Jingyi's car to go to school together.
Li Xiaobing sent everyone away, but he did not leave. He returned to the second floor and asked, "Second brother of the Gu family, do you have any thoughts about my sister?"
Second Brother Gu had some ideas, but he was too embarrassed to say it directly, "What does Big Brother Li mean?"
"If you're willing to date my sister, go home and tell your parents to find a matchmaker to come to our house and propose marriage."
Li Xiaobing looked directly into Gu Erge's eyes and said this. He wanted to see if Gu Erge avoided his gaze.
"Okay... I'll tell my parents when I get home in the evening." Second Brother Gu also looked directly into the eyes of First Brother Li.
In fact, he really wanted to tell the eldest brother of the Li family, and it would have been better if he had just told his sister.
Because after his parents find out, they will call Jiaojiao immediately to ask who to find as a matchmaker.
But at this moment, he didn't want to tell his future brother-in-law about their Gu family affairs.
"Then we will wait for your good news at home. I'm leaving first." Li Xiaobing patted his future brother-in-law on the shoulder and left.
Gu Erge looked at his back and said, "Don't worry, my parents will make arrangements as soon as possible. Goodbye, I have something else to do."
Gu Jiaojiao returned to school and was told by her head teacher as soon as she entered the classroom that Professor Frank was waiting for her in the principal's office.
She had no choice but to go to the principal's office immediately, and as soon as she reached the door, she heard Frank's excited voice.
"Teacher Jiaojiao, we were waiting for you to have lunch together at noon, but we couldn't find you!"
"Professor Frank, all the experts, you are all here. I'm so sorry, but I'm out to eat with my classmates."
Frank didn't mean to blame Gu Jiaojiao, it was just that the other friends were going back to their country.
He had something important to discuss with Gu Jiaojiao, so he took out a bottle with two pills in it and handed it to Gu Jiaojiao.
"Teacher Jiaojiao, here are two pills. They are the health-preserving medicines my aunt usually takes. Please help me see what they are used to treat."
Gu Jiaojiao poured a brown tablet into the palm of her hand, brought it close to her nose and sniffed it, then spoke in a standard London accent.
“The ingredients of this tablet have the flavors of Magnolia officinalis, Poria cocos, Diazepam… and other medicinal herbs.
These are medicines for treating insomnia, dreaminess, and mental weakness. The patient must have long-term sleep disorders."
"Teacher Jiaojiao is indeed worthy of her reputation. Does the teacher have any Chinese medicine pills that are better than this one?" Professor Frank asked hopefully.
