Chapter 420 The Lonely Brother Gu
"Jiaojiao is here." Brother Gu brought out a bowl of food and greeted his sister with a grin when he saw her.
"Well, thank you for your hard work, second brother." Gu Jiaojiao greeted happily.
When Mother Gu heard her son's surprised voice, she quickly walked out of the kitchen with a large bowl of chicken soup.
When she saw her daughter and son-in-law, she greeted them warmly: "Jiaojiao and Shuoci are here. I made pork belly and chicken for you."
"Mom, you've worked hard. Your daughter is not an outsider. Don't make such a dish just for us."
Gu Jiaojiao said politely, and pushed the man next to her. Su Shuoci quickly stepped forward and took the bowl: "Thank you for your hard work, mother-in-law."
He placed the big bowl of soup on the table, then went to the kitchen to wash his hands, then fetched a plate of water and handed it to Ye Jiaojiao: "Jiaojiao, wash your hands."
"Well, thank you. The pork tripe and chicken my mom cooked smells so good." Ye Jiaojiao looked at the table full of food and couldn't help swallowing her saliva.
Although she had been eating fruits and melon seeds all the time at the Han family, she was still happy to see the table full of dishes.
It was rare for Mother Gu to see her daughter looking so greedy, so she said gently, "Jiaojiao, don't be polite now that you're home. Come over and sit down to eat."
Second Brother Gu brought out two more bowls of dishes, and when he returned to the kitchen, he took the washbasin from Su Shuoci.
"Well, come and sit together." Gu Jiaojiao responded, then pulled Su Shuoci to sit down next to the table.
"Wow, there are so many dishes, all of which are my favorite dishes. Please come and sit down." Gu Jiaojiao said happily.
Su Shuoci quickly served a bowl of pork tripe and chicken soup, and scooped a spoonful of soup to Gu Jiaojiao's mouth.
He said gently and lovingly: "Wife, you look like a greedy little cat, open your mouth and try something new."
"Thank you, Brother Shuoci. It's great to have you." Gu Jiaojiao drank the soup with a smile.
Her smile shook Su Shuoci's heart. He happily fed his wife, a mouthful of soup and a mouthful of pig tripe, and fed her half a bowl.
He picked up another piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and gave it to Gu Jiaojiao: "Jiaojiao, you need to eat more meat to gain weight. You are so thin, you need to eat more."
Gu Jiaojiao looked at the ribs beside her mouth, pouted and said: "But I want to eat chicken legs."
"Okay, okay, you like chicken legs." Su Shuoci stuffed the ribs into his mouth and handed a chicken leg to Gu Jiaojiao.
Several people in the Gu family looked at this scene and smiled with relief, and Dad Gu even laughed out loud.
Grandpa Gu said with a smile, "Jiaojiao is trying to find a way to get Shuoci to eat something."
"Grandpa... if you see the truth but don't say it, I'll feel embarrassed too." Gu Jiaojiao took a bite of the chicken leg and said with a blushing face.
"I'll make you laugh, please eat more." Su Shuoci continued to feed his wife.
He even took the time to help Grandpa Gu and the others pick up some food, so that everyone had a portion. Seeing this, the Gu family also started to eat happily.
Mother Gu is the happiest person because everyone likes the dishes she cooks, so she feels a special sense of accomplishment.
She kept picking up food for her father-in-law, husband and son, and everyone was happily chatting about family matters.
Seeing the whole family having fun together, Gu Jiaojiao felt very happy. Her eyes and eyebrows revealed a look of joy, just like a little girl who had just fallen in love.
Su Shuoci looked at his wife beside him with infatuation, his heart was filled with sweetness and infinite satisfaction, and he couldn't stop the smile on his lips.
When Mr. Gu saw how affectionate his daughter and son-in-law were, he felt very happy.
He was very unhappy with his eldest son's behavior because today was Mid-Autumn Festival and he had not called home.
But his second son is a good person, and his daughter and son-in-law get along very well, so he is satisfied.
Gu Jiaojiao was the first to feel full, but she did not leave the table. She was waiting for Su Shuoci to finish eating.
"Beep...beep...beep..." At this time, the phone in the living room of the Gu family rang.
Brother Gu had just finished his meal and put down his bowl. He immediately stood up and pressed the hands-free button to answer the call. [Hello? Who is this?]
[Second brother, I am the eldest brother, is grandpa home? ]
[Here I am, brother, are you okay? Grandpa~Brother is calling you to answer the phone~]
[Jinghua, I'm your grandpa. Today is Mid-Autumn Festival. Do you have a day off? Do you eat mooncakes?]
[Grandpa, I… don’t have a day off today. My company gave me mooncakes.]
[Jinghua, I'm your father. Today is a holiday, why don't you have a day off? ]
[Jinghua, I am your mother, and you are the second-in-command of your company. You should have your subordinates to celebrate the festival with you.]
[Jinghua, why don't you say anything? Do you miss us so much? ]
[Jinghua, it has become colder there in the mornings and evenings, so you should remember to put on more clothes.]
Although the Gu family was dissatisfied with Brother Gu, they were still very happy when they received his call and gathered around the phone to ask about his well-being.
[Grandpa…Dad…Mom…I wish you all a happy holiday. Did Jiaojiao come home today? I…have to spend the holiday with my subordinates, so I’ll hang up now.]
"Beep...beep..." The call was quickly hung up.
"What a kid! I was just about to tell him that Jiaojiao wanted to talk to him, but he hung up." Mother Gu said regretfully.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"As for him, I think he was too embarrassed to face our Jiaojiao, so he hung up."
"Dad, isn't my eldest brother in a hurry to drink with his subordinates to celebrate the festival?"
"Hmph, he's probably spending the holiday alone!" Grandpa Gu sighed with disdain.
The Gu family moved their things to the yard to enjoy the moon while discussing Brother Gu...
When Brother Gu heard the voices of his grandfather, parents, and second brother expressing their usual concern, he burst into tears.
He was choking with sobs, so he had to hang up the phone quickly to prevent his parents from worrying about him.
Not only did he not have a day off today, he didn't even get to taste the mooncakes, even though his company distributed them a few days ago.
But he had already given it to his adopted sister Yueyue. This was the first time he saw mooncake since he came out of the farm, but he didn't get to taste it.
It was also the first time for him to celebrate the Reunion Festival alone. Now that conditions were better, he still spent the festival alone in a cold mood.
The night wind was cool, and he looked up at the bright moon in the sky, hoping that the moon would give him some warmth, but unfortunately the moon only shone on the ditch.
Being a stranger in a foreign land, he missed his family even more during the holidays, so he especially wanted to call them.
After Brother Gu hung up the phone, longing surged into his heart like a tide, and he couldn't help but recall the scene of giving mooncakes to his adopted sister that day.
He thought his adopted sister would take the mooncake, unwrap it and give one to him, but unfortunately she didn't.
Seeing her turn around and leave with the mooncake, his heart sank. Then his adopted sister took two steps, stopped, and looked back at him.
This made his heart warmer. After all, he was the one who brought up his adopted sister, and he couldn't bear to let her go.
His cold heart suddenly warmed up and he quickly chased after her.
The adopted sister looked at him with a smile and asked, "Brother, when will you get your salary?"
"Brother, you've only been working for ten days, how can you get paid so soon? Yueliang, are you short of money?"
"Woo woo, big brother, you have no idea how miserable they are. I haven't dared to go back to my husband's house since my evil mother-in-law was hospitalized.
My father went far away and I couldn't find him. After my mother went to my grandfather's house, she called me back a few times.
There was no talk of sending money back to us. My second brother’s leg injury hasn’t healed yet, so he hasn’t gone to work and only receives 20 yuan in subsidies every month.
My third brother is still a student. It is said that he earns some money by moving bricks every day to buy nutritious food for my second brother. "
"Yueliang, I didn't know you were living such a miserable life. I'll give it to you when I get my salary." Brother Gu said with reluctance.
