Gu Qingning didn't expect Zhaobei to give her so much face, and was quite surprised.
"Dad, you don't know, Zhaobei, that brat, usually can't even fart for a long time. He's really out of his element today by calling you grandpa!"
Gu Zhang felt his heart melt at the sight of these two soft and adorable children.
He immediately transformed into a grandfather, protecting Zhaobei: "What do you know? Boys cherish words like gold. This is the character of those who will achieve great things!"
Gu Qingning rolled her eyes, thinking, what great achievements can this bring? Isn't it just a sultry and domineering CEO? I'm afraid he won't even be able to find a wife in the future!
Si Nan also stretched out his hand towards his grandfather: "Grandpa, hug me!"
Gu Zhang felt like his heart was melting, and he quickly picked up his granddaughter.
Although Zhaobei didn't say anything, his eyes were staring eagerly, as if he also wanted a hug from his grandfather.
Gu Zhang felt as if he had gained a lot more strength, and he quickly picked up Zhao Bei with his other hand.
He kissed each one while he was laughing, and he almost passed out from joy.
Si Nan was very lively and sensible, which brought him a lot of family happiness. His babbling voice simply melted his heart, and the old man gave him a big red envelope without hesitation.
Although Zhaobei didn't talk much, his grandfather felt particularly kind to him. He secretly gave his grandson a lot of food and said he would buy him some toys.
Seeing that Gu Zhang was really too hot, Gu Qingning quickly carried the two children down and said, "Alright, alright, you two little sparrows, chirping away, look how tired your grandpa is. Let him rest for a while!"
After saying that, Lu Changqing tactfully took both children away and went to coax them.
Gu Qingning sat down next to Gu Zhang and wanted to have a good talk with her father.
"Qing Ning," Gu Zhang was so happy that he almost couldn't breathe. "Look at you, you gave me such a big surprise! But, like I said before, Si Nan has your last name, do they, the Lu family, really have no objection?"
In this era, children who take their mother's surname are, after all, very rare.
Once the child takes the mother's surname, such a man will often be criticized and called a son-in-law who marries into the family, which will make people look down on him.
Gu Qingning said, "It's okay, Dad. Our generation has made a lot of progress and it won't be like before. Besides, I'm the only daughter in our family. Wouldn't you be happy if your granddaughter took your last name?"
Of course, Gu Zhang was extremely happy, and he even liked his granddaughter even more.
However, he was still somewhat worried: "Chang Qing has also suffered a lot in this matter. Should I give him a red envelope?"
Gu Qingning smiled helplessly yet dotingly.
"Dad, I gave birth to both children. So what if one of them has my last name? What has he wronged himself with? What compensation does he need? If a man can't even stand this little bit of criticism, how can he achieve the great things you talk about?"
Gu Zhang thought about it carefully and finally sighed.
"Come on, come on. I'm old, and I can't keep up with the lives of you young people! As long as you two live happily and harmoniously, you can live your lives however you want. I can't control you anymore!"
He doted on Si Nan to the core and couldn't let him go. He insisted on going into the house to hug Si Nan again.
Whether in the Lu family, the Bai family or the Gu family, Zhaobei, as the only boy in the family, is not as popular as the little girl Sinan.
While holding Si Nan, Gu Zhang said to Gu Qingning, "You are just like your mother. Your mother was also very capable. She became a worker at a young age and later became an office director! This house will be left to you when the time comes. You can leave it to our Si Nan!"
Gu Qingning knew that the factory here would be demolished in the 1980s and 1990s.
After the demolition, they will not only be given a large amount of compensation, but also several houses.
These things will be left to her first, and then when Si Nan grows up, they will become Si Nan's dowry.
Speaking of the house, Gu Qingning couldn't help but frown: "Dad, what's going on? After I left, why would someone want to occupy this house and bully you?"
The young man who bullied Gu Zhang kept asking him to hand over the house, and it was obvious that he came to take over their family's property.
Gu Qingning felt disgusted.
However, she also felt very strange.
Nowadays, houses are completely allocated. Even in Shanghai, renting a house is not expensive at all. Most people get allocated houses or rent a house when they get married.
The vast majority of families have no intention of buying a house at all. After all, there are no commercial houses yet, and neither the man’s nor the woman’s family thinks a house is important.
Gu Zhang sighed, "You haven't seen that boy. He's your cousin, just a few months younger than you. Your uncle and aunt had seven or eight children, and gave away several girls before they gave birth to this only child!"
Gu Qingning's face twitched.
This is indeed a very common thing in this day and age.
Even in big cities, basically every household is like this, they keep having children until they have a son. In some places, they don't just have one son, they are not satisfied until they have two.
This kind of thing cannot be eliminated even in modern times, let alone now.
Gu Qingning asked, "So? He wants to occupy my mother's house?"
Gu Zhang covered his face embarrassedly and nodded.
"He's an uneducated guy. Several of his sisters were married off, and all of them were given to him as betrothal gifts. Recently, he seems to be planning to marry the daughter of a leader, but he doesn't have a formal job and no house, so he set his sights on me."
As the only male in the family, he was naturally pampered and felt that everything in the family should belong to him.
Even the property of an uncle who has no son should be left to himself.
The bride price in Shanghai is low, but his family insists on a high bride price. They are ready to squeeze every son-in-law's family dry, and after sucking their blood, use it all to subsidize their own sons.
Gu Qingning sneered, "He really thinks everyone in the world is his parent and he can do whatever he wants? He's dreaming! Dad, what's my cousin's name?"
Gu Zhang said, "His name is Gu Tiefu! My daughter, please don't get too excited. We are still a family after all. Let's just keep our distance!"
Gu Qingning couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Dad, you treat him as family, but he doesn't treat you as family! He only sees you as a cash cow. He thinks every penny you earn should belong to him. He even wants to take things that belong to your daughter!"
When Gu Zhang thought about how he had just scolded his daughter, he stopped talking instantly.
It’s better not to have such a heartless thing!
