Old Madam Bai never told Lu Changqing about the fact that she had a dog.
Gu Qingning didn't feel guilty at all and lied, "I heard a dog barking just now, and I thought he would definitely get a dog. I didn't expect that I could use it to deal with them!"
Lao Feng said, "I seemed to hear Lao Fan yelling just now. It was because those two people passed by Lao Fan!"
Old Madam Bai took her hand and explained.
"Lao Fan is the puppy born by a stray dog nearby. Your grandpa picked it up one day when he was out for a walk. Although it's a small local dog, it's very smart! One time, your grandpa tripped and fell to the ground. It was the dog that found me and came over with my skirt in its mouth. If it weren't for it, your grandpa would have died!
It's strange to say, but ever since that incident, it seems to have grown increasingly resentful of Su Yating and Bai Fan. Whenever it sees them, it bares its teeth. Once, it almost bit off Bai Fan's finger!
At first, Mrs. Bai felt quite embarrassed, as if she had let both of them down.
But later, she felt more and more strange.
"Old Fan doesn't bite anyone. He's usually a good boy guarding the house and is polite to all guests. He only bit these two people. It must be because they did something bad!"
Originally, these two people were not good people. The old lady just felt that even Gou Zi must have realized this problem.
Gu Qingning suddenly paused in thought: "Are you sure Grandpa fell down on his own, and not because someone pushed him down?"
This question shocked Mrs. Bai.
Yes, how come she has never thought about this question?
"But your grandfather said he fell down on his own... But it's true, he does love and care for this nephew. After all, his brother saved his life back then. He took this youngest nephew to his side for this brother, as a way of repaying the favor."
In fact, Mrs. Bai had thought about adopting a child.
After all, their only daughter died, and they were left alone.
However, in just a few years, they have become as incompatible as enemies.
"If you ask me, after all this trouble, I still think blood ties are the most important! Some of these ungrateful outsiders are truly unreliable. They're rotten to the core, truly bad people! The better you treat them, the more greedy they become."
After a pause, Madam Bai suddenly sighed, "Even if you want to adopt him, you have to keep him by your side since he was young. If his personality is already set, you can't change it no matter how hard you try."
When Bai Huan was adopted, he was already twelve or thirteen years old, and his personality had already been determined.
No matter how the couple taught, they could not make the girl become completely different.
Gu Qingning quickly held the old lady's hand and comforted her: "Grandma, please don't be sad. Isn't Chang Qing back?"
Madam Bai then wiped her tears and smiled, "Yes, not only did Chang Qing come back, he also brought me such a wonderful grandson-in-law! Now I have two great-grandchildren. If I tell others about this, my good sisters will be so envious!"
After saying that, she immediately began to instruct Lao Feng to quickly put Si Nan and Zhao Bei into the warm room.
"This small courtyard is for you two. It's in the best location, warm in winter and cool in summer. You can even use a floor heating system and a kang, ensuring you'll be as warm as spring!
There are still two or three courtyards left here, and the scenery is very interesting. You can look around and live in whichever one you like. Anyway, they will all be yours in the future!"
The scenery of the courtyard houses in the north is indeed not as good as that in the south.
However, seeing the ground covered with white snow, it has a unique charm.
Gu Qingning smiled and said, "Thank you!"
Pulling open the thick scarlet felt curtains, the master bedroom with a living room appears before your eyes.
Sinan and Zhaobei seemed to have been here before. They were familiar with everything here and were very accepting of it. They just looked around curiously with their big eyes.
"It seems like they both like it here, that's great!"
As Gu Qingning spoke, she took out the things that had been prepared for Old Madam Bai from the box.
"This is top-quality silk, this is Shu brocade, all handmade. It's hard to see such fine craftsmanship nowadays. I made you a padded jacket, guaranteed to be light and warm!
These are some health supplements, they're very effective. This wild ginseng is very good, probably about 50 years old, so I'll give it to you as a health supplement!"
Even Mrs. Bai rarely sees these things.
She was so excited that tears came to her eyes.
"Look at you guys, you're not well off either, and you still live in the countryside, so where do you get so much money to buy these things? Don't waste money in the future. Grandma has money, so you don't need to buy things for her!"
Gu Qingning smiled and said, "This is a small token of respect from Changqing and me. If Sinan and Zhaobei grow up to be sensible, they will show even more respect to you!"
This one sentence brought tears to Mrs. Bai's eyes again.
"Okay, okay, you are all good children. Grandma really loves you so much!"
She accepted the things happily.
Gu Qingning also took out a tape measure and measured her size.
"Okay, no problem. I was planning to make you a down jacket. Just wait and wear this warm and light clothing!"
Old Lady Bai likes to wear fur every day, because only fur can help her survive such a cold winter.
However, for the elderly, their hands and feet are already very stiff, and they cannot move them freely if they wear so many clothes.
Gu Qingning planned to make them a piece of light clothing.
Old Madam Bai had never heard of what a down jacket was, so she couldn't help but feel curious.
"Don't worry, you'll know once I make it!"
It’s not that you can’t buy down jackets at this time, but they are indeed very rare in the country.
Old Madam Bai doesn't usually like to go shopping in department stores, so naturally she didn't know about it.
After putting their things away, they prepared to go to the hospital.
The three of them walked to the hospital, chatting and laughing along the way.
"Old man, look who's here to see you!"
All the wrinkles on Mrs. Bai's face were transformed into a smile.
Perhaps sensing that his grandson was coming, the old man was in particularly good spirits today, sweeping away all his previous fatigue.
"Lu Yu...Oh no, Chang Qing, you're finally here!"
The old man was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes: "You really look like your mother. If she saw how big you have grown, she would be so happy!"
