Lu Suo wanted to say that he treated Gu Xingzhao as his own daughter, and as long as she was willing, his home would be her home.
But thinking that this was the only granddaughter of his master, it was difficult to say so. After all, his master's legs... If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have left Gu Xingzhao so early.
Even in the years when his master passed away, he was busy in the provincial bureau and couldn't take good care of her...
At that time, he wanted to adopt Gu Xingzhao and take her with him, but because her parents were still alive, it was not legally feasible, so he had to give up.
Thinking of the past, Lu Suo was full of guilt, and felt more and more that he owed Gu Xingzhao a lot. At this age, he never thought about moving up again, and just wanted to return to the old place and live a good family.
When the car arrived at the entrance of the supermarket, Gu Xingzhao took Lin Ting out of the car, but did not invite Lu Suo into the house. "Uncle Lu, you don't know me yet. If I have something to say, I won't be polite to you. If I don't say it, it must be because there is nothing to say."
"Don't bear it alone when you have something to say."
"I know."
The car drove away, and Gu Xingzhao suddenly felt a little dazed... Uncle Lu actually looks a bit like Lu Qing
, right? She shook her head. They just have the same surname Lu. She really thought too much.
...
"Hiss..."
Lin Ting groaned in pain.
Gu Xingzhao moved the cotton swab in his hand, stared at his half swollen face and the wound on his mouth, frowning.
Lin Ting was about to say something comforting, but heard Gu Xingzhao complaining in a serious manner, "Seven hundred yuan is less."
Lin Ting: "..." It turned out to be about money.
Gu Xingzhao handed a mirror to Lin Ting. If this face was ruined, it would not be a matter of seven hundred yuan.
Lin Ting looked at her face through the mirror and thought it was okay, just a superficial wound. "I didn't notice before that he runs a fruit shop next door."
The implication was that if she caused too many conflicts, it would be troublesome in the future. Besides, she was not often at home. What if the couple came to her parents and Gu Xingzhao to cause trouble...
Lin Ting considered a lot. Considering the income and stinginess of the couple, 700 yuan was not a small amount of money.
Gu Xingzhao also knew his concerns. He was just afraid that Li Yong would cause trouble in the future. After all, everyone's shop was on the same street, and they would see each other every day.
She sighed, "You have a good temper, but you can't be like this when you go out into society, otherwise people will think you are easy to bully and you will suffer a great loss."
"When we are not wrong, we should fight for what we should fight for. There is no need to be afraid of anything. You are not alone."
Lin Ting looked at the person in front of her and thought to herself that it was precisely because she was not alone that she could not follow her temper in everything.
Gu Xingzhao put away the medicine box. Lin Ting stared at her, "Sister, why do you have so many medicines?"
He thought it was the inventory of supermarket items just now, but after looking carefully, he found that it was boxes of medicines, even syringes and so on.
She was alone at home, did she need so many medicines?
Gu Xingzhao smiled, "Just in case of emergency."
"It's getting late, go home, Aunt Wang and Uncle Lin will be back tomorrow, don't let them worry." Lin
Ting's eyes flickered, "You're going back alone, I'm afraid they will come again..."
"Sister, can I stay here tonight?"
Gu Xingzhao was slightly stunned, "?" This... is not good. Before he could say the polite refusal, Lin Ting said again, "I'll just sleep on the sofa like when I was a child." His eyes were bright, as if there were water drops swirling in them, like a homeless cat or dog on the street, pitiful.
Gu Xingzhao suddenly thought of when he was a kid and stayed at Aunt Wang's house. Lin Ting always gave her the room to sleep in, and he slept on the sofa in the living room...
Memories flooded into his mind. He just wanted to sleep on the sofa in the living room now, how could he bear to refuse.
Seeing that Lin Ting was obviously much taller than her, she thought: It's just a matter of letting the child stay here for one night, it's nothing...
Five minutes later, Gu Xingzhao sent Lin Ting downstairs and gave him two bottles of Wahaha, "Xiao Ting, there is only one bed in my sister's house. You are so tall now, it's not good to sleep on the sofa."
Lin Ting was about to say that he could sleep on the floor, but Gu Xingzhao said, "It's so cold now, it's not good for you to sleep on the floor. If you get sick, I can't explain to your parents."
Lin Ting: "..."
Gu Xingzhao smiled, "Wait until I buy another bed in the future, and you can sleep here."
Lin Ting's mood was indescribable, and he opened his mouth after a long while, "Okay."
He took out the key to open the door, turned around and asked, "Then when will you buy it?"
Gu Xingzhao: "..." The child grew up and it was hard to fool him.
…
The supermarket activity came to an end, and the bank card balance increased by tens of thousands. Gu Xingzhao felt more at ease. Seeing that it was New Year's Eve, she cleaned up the house and prepared to close the business until the third day of the New Year.
"This dumpling, we have to wrap it like this..." Aunt Wang slowed down and demonstrated it to Gu Xingzhao again.
After a while, Aunt Wang sighed, "Forget it, Xiao Gu, if we really can't do it, we won't learn it, right?"
Looking at these dumplings, she really could
n't bear to watch, but she just wanted to learn, and her temper was very stubborn. Gu Xingzhao was fast at learning other things, but he really had no talent in cooking. These dumplings were soft and floppy. It seemed simple, but he still couldn't wrap a decent one. She also wanted to wrap some dumplings by herself and cook them for the Lu family as a snack, after all, it was New Year's Day.
Aunt Wang was no longer willing to teach. Lin Ting, who was standing by, saw Gu Xingzhao's lost look. After hesitating for a while, he stood up, sat down next to her, and held her hand, "Sister, I'll teach you."
Lin Ting has been helping his family make dumplings since he was a child. He is very skilled in this skill. He taught step by step. Because he was Gu Xingzhao, he was very patient.
Aunt Wang was stunned for a long time, "?"
Do you need to get so close to teach someone to make dumplings?
Soon, a round dumpling was placed on the table, as if it was about to burst its belly, but at least it looked like a dumpling.
Lin Ting curled his lips, "Sister is really amazing, you can learn it in one go, and you make dumplings better than me."
Gu Xingzhao was a little proud. He held the dumplings carefully and shook them in front of Aunt Wang. The more he looked at his dumplings, the more he liked them.
Aunt Wang: "..."
When the dumplings were put into the pot, I'm afraid the dumpling skins would be rotten when they were cooked. Her son really knows how to praise.
She took the dumplings to cook, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She turned around and saw her son staring at Gu Xingzhao with a smile on his face.
"!!!"
Aunt Wang suddenly realized that her son was eighteen years old and had just begun to fall in love. No wonder he could go against his conscience and say such lies to deceive people!
She was not surprised by this. Gu Xingzhao was good-looking, smart and kind. Which boy didn't like him?
If she could really like Xiao Ting and know him well, she would be happy in her heart.
But there was no such good thing. There was a six-year age difference, and Xiao Gu obviously treated her son as a child.
It was hopeless. She felt sorry for her son. She nudged her husband next to her with her elbow and said, "Look at your son. His eyes are almost glued to Xiao Gu. Aren't you afraid that others will notice it?"
Uncle Lin turned his head and took a look. "No one can tell."
