Chapter 422 Contracting the Grand Hotel
The Gu family accompanied Gu Jiaojiao and his wife to watch the moon in the yard. They knew that Big Brother Gu was not having a good life, but they didn't know he was living so miserably.
But Gu Jiaojiao knew everything about Big Brother Gu because Uncle Dong would say a few words when he returned home.
Dong Baozhu would tell Su Qinchun, and then Su Qinchun would tell her sister-in-law on the phone.
Gu Jiaojiao looked at her grandfather, parents, and second brother who all looked very happy. Why should she tell them and add to their troubles? Everyone has his own choice of what kind of life he wants to live. The road of life is long, and it is actually just a process of self-cultivation.
The more difficult and harsh the times are, the more you need to know how to be firm in your heart, keep your mood in order, and keep going bravely.
Like Brother Gu, he has only that little ability and has to pretend to take care of his adopted sister. If he is not miserable, then who is miserable?
Many things are actually not as complicated as you imagine, as long as you don't worry too much and don't take things too seriously.
All you need is a calm heart and a patient attitude, and you can always live a happy and easy life.
In life, there will inevitably be bumps and bruises, but these are the norm in life and no one can avoid them.
What’s important is not to get entangled in something, or lose yourself because of someone.
"Jiaojiao, today is Mid-Autumn Festival. Have you called home?" Grandpa Gu asked with a smile after taking a sip of tea.
"I called this morning and told Father Su and Mother Su that we will watch the moon together with Grandpa tonight."
"Should we give them another call?" Mother Gu was distributing mooncakes to everyone.
"No, we've already agreed this morning. We'll call home tomorrow."
“Did you send any money home?”
"No, my parents make money from setting up a stall every day, and they want to send us money, hehe..."
"It's much easier to make money by setting up a stall. Jingtai made more money after returning here than your dad and I combined! Hahaha..."
Everyone chatted about the most common family matters, and occasionally talked about current affairs.
Gu Jiaojiao is the youngest, but she has a lot of experience, so she is not inferior to Grandpa Gu and Dad Gu when it comes to chatting.
"Grandpa, I heard that the largest state-owned restaurant is being tendered and contracted to a private individual?"
Grandpa Gu nodded and said, "It's true. I heard from your uncle Geng how much money it would cost!"
As he spoke, he sighed, his tone full of emotion, "Alas, your second brother has always wanted to open a restaurant privately, but there is no need to contract such a large restaurant!"
"Since you want to do it, brother, just do something big. Only by becoming big and strong can you have a bright future, haha..."
"But he doesn't have that much money. We borrowed your money to buy the yard, and we were planning to pay you back next month."
"Grandpa, don't worry, you keep it first. If the second brother really needs to contract, we can lend him some."
After Gu Jiaojiao finished speaking, she comfortably took a sip of the juice that Second Brother Gu handed to her.
"Jiaojiao, thank you. Second brother will not let your kindness down." Second Brother Gu said, patting his chest.
"I believe you." Gu Jiaojiao admired her second brother for his drive.
She had a hard time studying medicine in her previous life, and she loved thrilling things in her spare time.
For example, racing, rock climbing, high-altitude landing... She has learned them all very well and can use these exciting sports to relieve stress.
"Jiaojiao, if your second brother contracts the restaurant, will it be confiscated after a period of time?" Father Gu asked worriedly.
"No, society is progressing. If we want to make the country rich and the people strong, we have to make some people rich first. Besides, during the contract period, my second brother has already made a lot of money, haha..."
In the end, it was Grandpa Gu and the others who listened eagerly to Gu Jiaojiao's "analysis" of current affairs.
Mother Gu didn't quite understand what was said, but that didn't stop her from being happy. She looked at the starry sky and the moon, then looked at her family around her, and her smile never stopped.
Second Brother Gu was happily squeezing fruits and serving various snacks that he had prepared long ago for everyone to taste.
He aspires to be an excellent chef, a master chef who has learned both red and white dishes.
There was endless laughter in the yard. The Gu family yard was a house with several decades of history, and it exuded ancient charm everywhere.
There is a big tree in the middle of the yard. The yard is planted with not only seasonal vegetables enough for the whole family, but also flowers and plants.
Every flower, plant and tree is trimmed just right because Mother Gu works efficiently and diligently.
Grandpa Gu and Dad Gu would also trim flowers, plants and trees at home after get off work or on weekends.
The moonlight shone through the mottled gaps in the trees, spreading a layer of silver on the ground.
The trees were cast with uneven, mottled black shadows, and the graceful branches and sparse shadows were so beautiful.
While others were looking at the beautiful scenery, Su Shuoci focused on looking at his wife, who was looking from his direction.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
I could just see her perfect profile and slender neck. The moonlight shone on her through the gaps between the leaves, as if giving her a layer of silver light.
His eyes darkened and his Adam's apple moved up and down.
When Gu Jiaojiao turned around to look at him, he quickly lowered his head, picked up the cut mooncake, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Seeing that his wife was still looking at him, he passed the mooncake in his hand to Gu Jiaojiao's mouth and said vaguely: "Jiaojiao...you eat the mooncake."
Faced with his rudeness, Gu Jiaojiao didn't even frown, she was used to it.
"I won't eat your leftovers, haha. If I want to eat, I'll get it myself. Drink some juice so you don't choke."
"Then I'll cut some that you haven't eaten before for you to try." Su Shuoci stuffed all the mooncakes in his hand into his mouth.
"Hahaha... Shuoci, don't always spoil her." Grandpa Gu laughed heartily when he saw the couple acting funny.
Husband and wife should love each other when they live together. They have been loving each other for decades, even though the wife is gone now.
He still loved his wife deeply, and every night he would say goodnight to her photo.
Grandpa Gu took a sip of tea, looked at the bright moon in the sky and said, "Jiaojiao, Shuoci, how about you stay here tonight?"
"No, Grandpa, Dad, Mom, Fu Junyuan and his sister next door are still waiting for us to go back!" Su Shuoci answered quickly.
With such a beautiful night, he would definitely go back home and spend some time with his wife.
Seeing how anxious his son-in-law was, Mr. Gu, who had been young himself, naturally understood, so he let them go back first.
When the couple returned home, not only Fu Junyuan's brother and sister were eagerly waiting for them to come home.
Gu Jiaojiao got out of the car and joked, "Guoguo, why don't you sit in the yard to enjoy the moon? Are you standing outside our yard all the time?"
"We were at home, eating the mooncakes my sister-in-law gave us in the morning. We came here when we heard the car horn."
"Haha, that's more like it. I was shocked when I saw you just now. I thought you were standing here waiting. If we don't go home, it would be a grave sin!"
"Haha, sister-in-law just likes to joke." Fu Guoguo smiled innocently.
