'What's the point of being a city person or a country person? If it weren't for Sugar Plum going to school, I'd really think the countryside is quite nice,' said Gu Chen.
These were his true feelings.
What's not so good about the village?
Although it's inconvenient to go to the toilet in the village, and the dirt road is right outside, there are things in the countryside that you really can't find in the city.
And let's not forget the neighbours like Auntie Zhang and Tian Laosi, who you probably won't meet again in the city.
'Okay, you're just being typical. You're just being cheap and ungrateful. The city is so much better, and the streets are so clean. You don't have to ride a bike for 20 minutes to go shopping, like we do. And there are street lamps in the city, which come on as soon as it gets dark. It's not like in the countryside, where you have to grope your way around in the dark and risk falling over!'
Gu He was longing for city life.
Everyone in the city dressed clean and fashionable. Just standing in the street and looking was pleasing to the eye, unlike the village, where there was just endless work to be done.
Gu Chen looked at his watch. He still had to go shopping.
He laughed, 'Okay, second brother, I'll stop for now. Remember to bring your parents, your children, and your wife. If your wife is here, bring her along too.'
It's better not to mention his sister-in-law, but when he mentions her, Gu He is full of anger.
'Don't mention that Liu Lizhen to me. I've never met anyone like her in my whole life! She ran away for more than half a month, and then she came back two days ago and caused a scene, demanding a divorce, saying that my eldest brother had kept her waiting. She moved all the valuable things in the house, and she made my father have a heart attack!'
Gu He is indignant here, while Shen Cuizhi next to him is full of grief.
She didn't know whether her son's misfortune was his own doing or a result of her misdeeds in a previous life.
She didn't even say a kind word when something went wrong, and she didn't ask how Gu Zhigang was doing. She even moved all the family belongings out of the house. She really didn't want to live anymore!
She sighed, stood up, and said,
'That's enough. Anyway, your brother is settled down. Today is Tangtang's birthday, so let's go celebrate her birthday happily!'
After that, she went to the kitchen to get the pickled bacon.
When she was a child, conditions were not good, and this bacon was very popular. Gu Chen loved it the most, and today she would bring it to her son so that he could eat as much as he liked!
The brothers exchanged a few more words before hanging up.
As soon as the phone hung up here, they heard a knock on the door.
Gu Chen opened the door and saw Ji Pianran and Tang Tang.
Seeing that Gu Chen was really in the new home, the little one smiled so sweetly that she raised her head on her tiptoes and asked for a hug in a baby voice. 'Daddy hug, daddy hug Tantan.'
Gu Chen's heart melted, and she quickly smiled and held her daughter in her arms before looking at Ji Pianran.
'Come in and have a look. This is a show flat, and it's all decorated inside. See if there's anything missing, and we'll go to the street to buy some later.'
Looking at the man in front of her, an inexplicable feeling of emotion suddenly welled up in her heart.
She thought back to the past month, to all the good things Gu Chen had done for her and the hard work he had put into the family.
She felt like she was dreaming, and everything really was so unreal.
'Thank you,'
Ji Bianran said sincerely, her bright eyes full of gratitude.
Gu Chen reached out and touched the top of her head, her smile beautiful and clean.
'I've told you many times, you don't need to say thank you to me,'
She is his wife.
Isn't it his goal to make a good life for them?
After Gu Chen finished speaking, he took Ji Pianran into the house.
The crystal lamp, leather sofa, and brown coffee table in front of them, as well as the 60-inch LCD monitor, all exuded a modern atmosphere.
Tangtang excitedly hugged Gu Chen's neck, 'Daddy, Daddy, does Tangtang have a room?'
Even the little brother on the plane had a room, and she also wants her own room.
Gu Chen looked at his daughter's cute face and smiled helplessly.
'Yes, of course there is!'
After saying that, he hugged Tang Tang and entered the room with the pink walls. As soon as they entered, Tang Tang's eyes immediately went wide.
There was a big bunny on the pink princess bed.
There was a white carpet on the floor, with lots of stuffed animals piled on top, and there was even a small red slide and a yellow swing in the corner!
This place was really great!
She loved it!
The little one immediately started to fidget on Gu Chen's body, 'Daddy, let Tangtang go down and go on the slide.'
These are all things that Daddy took her to the big shopping mall last time.
Unexpectedly, her new home has them!
It's like a dream!
She is really very excited!
As soon as Gu Chen put the little one on the ground, she saw her pounce towards the slide.
She shouted excitedly while running.
'Mommy, mommy, Tantan has a slide~'
Seeing her daughter so happy, Ji Pianran couldn't help but feel happy too. She reached out and quietly took Gu Chen's arm. 'Thank you, thank you for giving Tantan such a good living environment.'
Her child was everything to her. Seeing Tantan so happy, she, as a mother, felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
Gu Chen pursed her lips and smiled helplessly.
'Didn't I say not to thank me? Why don't we do something practical instead!'
After saying that, she took Ji Pianran and went to the next room, which was also a children's room.
However, this one was obviously prepared for a boy, with blue walls and a universe-shaped lamp above the head, full of a sense of technology.
There was a small brown bear on the bed, and a model airplane on the white bedside table.
Ji Pianran was stunned.
'This, this room is good, but it is obviously prepared for a boy.'
She never would have thought that Gu Chen would have bought such a thoughtful house. To be honest, she had also been thinking about whether to have another child recently.
But having a child is not something you can just wish for, and what if it's a girl again?
Gu Chen put his arms around her and laughed mockingly.
'What, are you thinking about having a second child? Worried about what if it's a girl?'
Ji Pianran looked around with a serious expression on her face, 'Yes, it will be a lot of trouble to renovate the house.'
Her expression made Gu Chen laugh out loud.
'Daughter-in-law, you've forgotten that the most important thing about having a second child is not whether it's a boy or a girl, but whether it's born!'
They hadn't even done anything yet, so how could the baby just go and get itself into her belly?
On hearing this, Ji Pianran's eyelids twitched.
Her face immediately turned red.
Is he hinting at me?
He must be hinting at me!
She clenched her fists, her face a little tense, 'Go, go, I want to go look at the bedroom!'
She had to first determine where she would sleep in the future, and just put the new clothes she brought back from Huacheng in the new home.
This way she would save the trouble of moving them again later.
Upon hearing this, Gu Chen, with a wicked smile on his face, led Ji Pianran into the bedroom.
