Xiao Rui left the crowd with heavy steps, "Auntie, it turns out that my fifth aunt's family is really too poor to even afford food!"
More than a dozen of their cousins often complained behind the adults' backs: Fifth Aunt just likes to take advantage of their family.
This was totally wrong. He had to go home and talk to his cousins.
"They're not starving, are they? Didn't those aunties just say that the Fu family's eldest son is a factory director and earns a very high salary?"
Han Jingyi retorted loudly. Seeing that his friend was depressed, he tried his best to persuade him.
"But Aunt Fu just pointed at my fifth aunt and scolded her, saying that her family has no money to buy rice!"
"That woman is not only incapable of managing the household, but she is also sarcastic and nitpicking. Compared to your fifth aunt, there is a world of difference."
"But……"
Gu Jiaojiao interrupted what Xiao Rui was about to say, "Xiao Rui, don't blame yourself too much. Your fifth aunt's family is actually not as poor as you think.
They are just not as good as the best, but more than enough than the worst. Compared with others, the Fu family is also very good.
While the rich have wine and meat, there are frozen corpses on the streets, although this is about a certain period in the Tang Dynasty.
But across thousands of years of time and space, we can still smell similar scents and colors.
Poverty is a yellowish-brown color after being exposed to wind and sun, like a layer of mud shell, shiny and glossy, emitting the smell of earth, sweat and sourness.
The rich people's wine and meat are left uneaten at the door, and the food turns from fragrant to smelly, while the poor people have to eat only bran and vegetables."
"Yes, the gap between the rich and the poor exists in every era." Grandpa Gu agreed, touching his chin.
He felt that his granddaughter saw things more clearly than he did. Geniuses are different and understand everything.
"Hey! Auntie, let's take you to the downstairs of Yuetai Hotel. I want to go home and tell my grandfather about what happened today."
"Well, we can come to the restaurant for dinner tomorrow anyway." Gu Jiaojiao said indifferently.
They arrived soon. Gu Jiaojiao and Grandpa Gu got off the car at the hotel, and Han Jingyi and Xiao Rui drove back to the compound.
As soon as Gu Jiaojiao entered the hotel, she forgot about the previous incident and quickly immersed herself in directing her work.
Grandpa Gu personally participated in cutting red paper window decorations and gave them to the waiters to paste on the windows.
Mr. and Mrs. Gu are also helping out. This restaurant is jointly opened by Gu Jiaojiao and her second brother Gu.
Gu Jiaojiao invested two-thirds of the capital and Gu Erge invested one-third, but he invested a huge amount and used up all his savings.
Although the brother and sister invested different amounts of capital, they split the profits 50-50 because the second brother Gu was in charge of the hotel affairs.
Gu Jiaojiao has no time to manage, she is purely investing to share the dividends.
After a busy day of work for most of the day, the family and the waiters decorated the restaurant with lights and were waiting for the grand opening tomorrow.
The Gu family had dinner at the restaurant. Dad Gu drove back to the Gu family's house, and Su Shuoci drove Gu Jiaojiao directly to their villa.
The next day at half past eight.
Gu Jiaojiao was woken up by Su Shuoci, "Wife, do you want to go to the restaurant first or to the Si family first?"
"Let's go directly to the Si family and give Mr. Si an acupuncture before going to the restaurant." Gu Jiaojiao said sleepily.
"Wife, it's all my fault. If I had told the Si family the day before yesterday, you would have gone to their house tomorrow."
"It's okay, there's no conflict. The restaurant's opening ceremony won't start until 11:30."
"Let's go to the Si family the day after tomorrow, then you can sleep until you wake up naturally." Su Shuoci said guiltily.
He kept her busy until midnight last night, and his wife still hadn't slept for five hours!
Gu Jiaojiao gave the man a reproachful look. She was really impressed by him. He was so energetic and acted like a hungry wolf every night.
But she didn't say anything. After all, she couldn't resist his temptation and indulged him.
After a few words, she was completely awake, got up, washed and had breakfast, and then Su Shuoci drove her to the gate of the Si family in the compound.
Not a second early or late, we arrived at 10 o'clock on time. Today is the weekend, so most people in the Si family were at the door to greet us.
Gu Jiaojiao got out of the car with her long legs and saw three rows of people standing at the gate of the Si family's yard.
There were three people standing in the first row, with Mr. Si and the head of the Si family standing on both sides of Grandma Si.
There were several women standing in the second row, probably the four daughters-in-law and two married daughters of the Si family.
The third row was filled with young men and women and children of a few years old, who should be grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
It was a bleak autumn weekend, and the morning sun was bright but not glaring.
Through the soft maple leaves, a brilliant golden light is emitted, shining brightly and illuminating the whole place.
There was a thin layer of dead leaves on the ground, which made a crisp sound when stepped on. Those leaves grew in the spring and fell in just six months.
Their lives are fragile and short, like the lower-class people struggling to survive.
It is also like the family affection and love that disappear easily like bubbles.
Gu Jiaojiao wore a round-neck sweatshirt with jeans today, and a long windbreaker on the outside.
With her hair tied up high, she looked very energetic. She looked at the welcoming ceremony at the door of the Si family with a smile on her face.
Su Shuoci and she were wearing the same couple's outfit, and he looked like a flower protector when he walked beside her.
"Divine Doctor, Comrade Su, you are really punctual. Let's go inside and sit down first."
The head of the Si family let go of his mother's arm and walked forward to say hello.
Gu Jiaojiao said with a smile as beautiful as a flower, "Okay, okay, Mr. Si, Grandma Si, please go first."
Grandma Si smiled kindly and said, "Hello, Miracle Doctor. I never thought you were so young."
After she finished speaking, she took her husband's hand and walked into the hall of Si's house, because the miracle doctor insisted that the couple walk in front.
The head of the Si family walked to Gu Jiaojiao's left side, Su Shuoci walked to her right side, and the three of them walked in a row.
The younger generations of the Si family waited until Gu Jiaojiao and her group passed them before turning around and going into the house.
The male grandsons of the Si family all had their eyes glued to Gu Jiaojiao, and most of them were amazed, not for anything else, but simply to admire the beautiful sister.
The granddaughters would glance at Su Shuoci from time to time. This man was more handsome than anyone else in the Si family.
"Miracle doctor, Comrade Su, please sit down and have some tea." The mistress of the Si family greeted them warmly and poured them tea with a smile on her face.
Grandma Si also smiled and said, "Divine Doctor, do you want to eat something first?"
Mr. Si also said cheerfully, "Jiaojiao, try it and see if you can eat our Si family's cakes. I've heard that Shuoci's cooking skills are quite impressive, even surpassing the chefs of big hotels."
Gu Jiaojiao smiled and said, "I'd better check your pulse first. Who told you that Shuo Ci's cooking skills are indeed good, but that's just good."
"Haha, I heard it from old man Han and old man Geng." As Mr. Si said this, he stretched out his hand to feel Gu Jiaojiao's pulse.
"Mr. Si, have you felt any chest tightness or difficulty breathing recently? I'll give you another acupuncture and prescribe some medicine for you."
