After weighing the item, Gu Bai took out some money from his pocket and offered it to Wang Lin. "Mom, I have money here, you can pay me. I didn't understand how much the shopkeeper said."
“Hey, kid, Mom has money, I don’t need yours. It’s normal that you don’t understand, I’m speaking Cantonese to him.”
"Mom, I'll pay. How can I use your money when I'm buying groceries with you? How much is it, boss?"
"Haha, your son-in-law is really good." The butcher took a ten-yuan note and even gave Gu Bai some change.
Gu Bai smiled and took the change. Wang Lin said politely, "Boss, I'm leaving now. I still need to buy some vegetables."
"Sister Wang, handsome young man, take care."
Gu Bai helped carry the meat they had just bought, carefully following behind Wang Lin.
"Xiao Gu, the boss just called you 'handsome guy,' which means you're good-looking. He was praising you for being handsome and tall."
"Mom, you speak so beautifully, but unfortunately I can't understand a single word."
Wang Lin looked at him curiously, "Didn't Tian Tian teach you that? She never mentioned it to you either?"
That's true. Sweetie and I have never spoken Mandarin in Beijing either.
When you chat with her, you can ask her to teach you. Sweetie speaks Cantonese with a crisp, sweet voice, which is quite pleasant to hear.
It seems I made the right choice in naming her, Xiao Gu, don't you think?
Gu Bai's smile never faded. "Yes, I think my sister is as sweet as her name."
Wang Lin happily took Gu Bai to buy several kinds of vegetables before returning home.
When they returned, everyone was up.
After Su Tian finished brushing her teeth and came out of the room, she immediately saw Gu Bai carrying a vegetable basket.
"Mom, Xiaobai, did you go grocery shopping?"
"Daughter, get up. Where's your Uncle Gu? Is he up yet? Xiao Gu and I have cooked breakfast, it's ready to eat."
He's so diligent; he got up early to cook breakfast.
Su Tian suddenly remembered Song Zhe; her mother had also praised him in the same way.
pity……
Her first love, the first person she ever liked, the first person she ever married, left her and her two children just like that.
Gu Bai had been keeping an eye on Su Tian. Seeing her lost in thought again, he guessed that his sister was probably thinking about Brother Song again.
He put the shopping basket on the ground, put the meat in the refrigerator, and walked up to Su Tian. "Sister, breakfast is ready."
"Oh, okay."
After Su Tian came to her senses, she let Gu Bai lead her to the dining table.
Da Bao and Xiao Bao, who had accompanied several elderly people for their morning exercise, also returned, and everyone happily ate breakfast.
During the meal, Su Tian was still somewhat absent-minded, which made Gu Bai feel uneasy.
After everyone finished eating, the two children, Da Bao and Xiao Bao, took the initiative to clean up the table and wash and put the bowls away.
"Sister, let's go for a walk."
"Yes, that's fine."
So, Gu Bai took Su Tian's hand, and the two walked together on the tree-lined path.
He mustered his courage and asked, "Sister, are you thinking about Brother Song?"
Su Tian was taken aback. Was her mind so easily seen through?
She nodded. "Yes, my mom praised him in the same way when she was praising you earlier."
After Su Tian finished speaking, she smiled.
"Isn't Brother Song better than me?" Gu Bai asked somewhat sadly.
"Xiaobai, you can't compare to him, after all, I knew him first."
He was the first person I ever liked. We both learned what liking and love meant through trial and error.
Being with you might not have the same passionate feeling as when we were young; it's more like a gentle, enduring love.
You warm my heart, and I warm yours. Don't overthink it; I know you love me more.
But I will wholeheartedly accept every bit of your love and will not let you down.
"Sister, I love you."
Unable to resist Su Tian's words, Gu Bai pulled her into his arms.
Su Tian hugged his waist tightly, looked up at his wet eyes, and hurriedly wiped them dry for him.
Then she cupped his face in her hands and kissed Gu Bai's lips.
After their lips met for a long time, Gu Bai released Su Tian.
"elder sister……"
Every time Su Tian heard Gu Bai call her "sister," she felt an urge to ravage him.
"Little Bai, be good, I like you too, and we haven't had much time together yet."
I haven't fallen in love with you yet, and I don't want to lie to you and say I love you, but I will try my best to fall in love with you.
Gu Bai held Su Tian tightly, refusing to let go, and inhaled her scent with adoration.
"I know, as long as you like me, that's enough. I'm just afraid you won't like me."
I've secretly loved you for eight years, and if I live to be eighty, I'll continue to love you.
"I'll live one day at a time, and I'll love you as long as I live, okay?"
Because tomorrow and an accident, who knows which will come first?
Like Ah Zhe, it was completely unexpected that he would sacrifice himself, catching everyone off guard.
Let's take Uncle Gu, Da Bao, and Xiao Bao out for a stroll and show you the local customs and culture.
"good."
So when they got home, they called Gu Yuanshan, Da Bao, and Xiao Bao, and got in the car together.
After driving them to several tourist attractions, Su Tian finally arrived at a shop.
"I'd like to buy a few bottles of wine to pay tribute to the martyrs. Would you like to come along?"
"Mom, last time we paid our respects at the cemetery of the Seventy-Two Martyrs, what about this time?" Xiao Bao asked Su Tian earnestly.
"This time, Mom will take you to pay respects to the 19th Route Army. They were also martyrs in the War of Resistance against Japan."
"Is it the 19th Route Army from the Battle of Shanghai?" Gu Yuanshan suddenly asked.
"Yes, Uncle Gu."
"Count me in, I'll go and pay my respects to them too. They sacrificed so much for the battle of Shanghai."
So, Su Tian bought several bottles of local liquor: Feixiaye, Fengchengye, Changle Shao, Shiwan Yubing Shao, and also several bottles of Zhujiang beer.
Gu Bai carried the wine to pay the bill. He liked Su Tian because she had a strong sense of justice, a clear sense of right and wrong, and didn't discriminate between the rich and the poor.
Then I bought several bouquets of chrysanthemums from the flower shop in front.
After getting in the car, Su Tian drove to the "Monument to the Martyrs of the 19th Route Army in the Songhu Anti-Japanese War".
Upon arrival, everyone took a bouquet of flowers, walked to the tombstone, and respectfully placed the flowers there.
Gu Bai opened all the bottles and poured some of each one onto the ground.
After Gu Bai stood up, Su Tian slowly said, "Dear martyrs of the 19th Route Army, I have come to see you with my family."
These drinks are all from our province of Guangxi, including baijiu and beer. Please each have a sip to try them out.
Now, our motherland is getting better and better. People can eat their fill, wear warm clothes, and have plenty of alcohol.
Look, our whole family is dressed smartly and drove here to see you.
Your sacrifices were not in vain; we are already happily living the peaceful life you have brought for future generations.
After Su Tian finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but shed tears.
Gu Bai stared blankly at Su Tian. As a soldier, even though he had retired due to health reasons, he could still empathize with what she was saying.
