"It's good that you know the truth. Your mother and I are old, getting older every day, and we don't have many years left. If you really want to be filial, then spare your mother some trouble. How many years has it been? Do you really treat your mother like a maid?'
Gu Hang said, and Liu Lizhen and Fan Xiaoli's faces turned white and red, looking extremely ugly.
'Alright, it's not easy for you two either. Dad, this year we three brothers have reunited on this happy occasion, so let's not talk about those unpleasant things. Come on, Big Brother and Second Brother, let's toast to Dad together!'
Gu Chen swallowed a dumpling and stood up to pour wine for Gu Hang and his two brothers.
Since Gu Zhigang and Gu He had both spoken up, it would be a bit excessive for him to play the fool.
To be honest, he cared deeply about his own daughter-in-law.
He knew only too well how hard Ji Pianran usually worked, and because he had done something wrong, she had suffered a lot.
'Chenzi is right, Dad, we toast you!'
Gu Zhigang and Gu He also stood up. Shen Cuizhi gave her husband a look, and said, 'That's enough. It's almost New Year's Eve, and you really won't give your son face?
They are all grown-ups, who doesn't need to save face.
'You three brothers, I won't talk about the big principles, but brothers should help each other. Even I...'
'That's enough, don't say that during the New Year. Dad, I wish you happiness like the East China Sea and a long life like the Nanshan Mountains! You will enjoy your life in the future!'
'Grandpa, happiness...'
Xu Xu and Dong Dong also said it in a serious manner, but Gu Chen spoke too quickly and didn't remember much, so now he could only helplessly scratch his head, which made everyone laugh.
'Does Tang Tang remember what Daddy said?'
Shen Cuizhi squatted down and picked Tang Tang up in her arms. She couldn't love her only granddaughter enough.
'Daddy said, 'I wish Grandpa a long life as happy as the sea!''
Tang Tang tilted her little head and thought about it for a while, but she still couldn't remember it all.
'Good, good! Tang Tang is a good girl.'
Gu Hang was beaming with joy. He was practically surrounded by children and grandchildren, and he couldn't be happier.
What's the word for this...
Yes, it's family bliss!
After the meal, everyone took a short nap. It was so comfortable, with a full stomach and a drink in hand, and the afternoon sun.
When they got up, it was already 3:00 p.m. To be honest, the meat was really delicious, but after eating it for a few days, they really couldn't take it anymore.
Especially the little ones, who had been eating meat every day, and the digestive systems of children are not good, which made Shen Cuizhi feel worried.
Gu Chen looked at his mother, who was leaning on the sofa with a frown, and worriedly asked, 'Mom, are you not feeling well? What's wrong?'
'Hey, I don't know what to eat tonight! I can't eat any more meat,'
On hearing this, Gu Chen laughed. He had thought it was something major, but it was just that she didn't know what to eat.
'Why don't we have hotpot for dinner?'
When he said hotpot, Gu Chen actually had another ulterior motive. He always felt that Ji Bianran had some habits from Sichuan. Although he didn't know exactly where, everyone in Sichuan loved hotpot.
It was the New Year, and everyone was happy. It wouldn't be too much to let her daughter-in-law have a meal with local specialties, would it?
At this moment, Ji Pianran also came out with her daughter-in-law in her arms, and she looked worried when she heard that they were going to have hotpot.
'The children are still young, they can't eat spicy food,'
although she really wanted to eat it, she had become used to giving up her own preferences for the sake of her children in recent years.
She had not eaten chili for a long time for the sake of her daughter-in-law.
Gu Chen looked at her struggling and came over, patting her on the head, 'It's okay, the children are not important, you are the most important!'
Children are like that. If they get tired of dumplings, you can just fry them some vegetables.
But your daughter-in-law is different.
She hasn't been home for a few years, and she doesn't even know where her home is, so she can only guess.
She doesn't say anything, but I think she must be homesick.
I don't have many strengths, but it's only natural that I should make her hometown specialty for her daughter-in-law.
At this moment, Shen Cuizhi was still lying on the sofa. Ji Pianran never expected that Gu Chen would say in front of his mother-in-law that she was the most important person to him.
His rosy face flushed red in an instant.
What did he say!
She nodded slightly, her eyes full of shyness, and her rosy, soft lips pursed in embarrassment.
'Mom and the kids are here!'
This person, he has no sense of propriety at all!
How can I compare with the kids?
But while complaining, she couldn't help but feel a sweet emotion in her heart.
There was no denying that Gu Chen was really treating her better and better.
In the past, this was the most unattainable thing in her heart.
Gu Chen knew that she was blushing, so he smiled and picked up Tang Tang. 'Let's go, Dad will take you and Mum to the street to buy food, and buy some fireworks on the way, okay?'
It's Chinese New Year, if there are no fireworks, is it still called Chinese New Year?
It's rare that the whole family is together, so he wants to buy a lot of fireworks to blow away the bad luck and misfortune of the year!
Shen Cuizhi looked at the happy young couple and couldn't help but smile.
It's really good, as if I saw myself and Gu Hang when I was young.
'Go ahead, there's a bicycle at home, ride it to the coal washing plant and have a look.'
Ji Pianran lowered her head, still a little embarrassed.
Gu Chen, on the other hand, was fine with it, and he laughed broadly, 'Hey.'
Then he took his child in one arm and his wife by the hand and walked out the door.
After a good meal, it was time to go for a ride.
He walked out into the courtyard and pushed out the family's old two-seater bicycle. It belonged to Gu Hang, but he was happy to take his grandchildren out for a ride.
It looked clean, but it was a bit old. However, it had been cleaned well and the tyres were well-inflated.
And because Gu Hang always had to take the grandchildren shopping,
He installed a large frame in front so that he could carry groceries and his grandchildren could go out and play at the same time.
Tangtang looked at the bicycle with excitement, 'Daddy, daddy, Tangtang wants to get on!'
She had never ridden a bicycle before!
She wanted to experience what it was like.
Gu Chen laughed, looked ahead, hugged his daughter and put her in the basket where Gu Hang usually carried groceries.
The main reason was that the child was too young, and if she sat in the back, the adults couldn't see her and were afraid she would fall. If she sat in the front, the frame would hurt her bottom.
Tangtang was overjoyed sitting in the basket.
Her eyes were smiling, and her two little hands were still grasping the front of the basket. In a baby voice, she said, 'Daddy, let's go!'
Seeing the little girl's happy face, both Ji Pianran and Gu Chen laughed.
Gu Chen glanced at his daughter-in-law and said, 'You sit in the back, and we'll set off now.'
Ji Pianran nodded with a smile, 'Okay.'
Gu Chen pushed the car out of the courtyard, and Ji Pianran only then got in.
Afraid of falling, she held onto Gu Chen's clothes with both hands.
She was being careful.
The sun was shining just right at the moment, and the blue and white in the sky was just beautiful.
Gu Chen took a deep breath of fresh air, feeling warm and at ease in her heart.
