Chapter 136 The Gu Family
After this commotion, the four people in the carriage were completely sleepless. In addition, the train was about to enter the station soon, so Lin Shu and Gu Jiu did not continue to sleep.
The four of them chatted casually. From the chat, Lin Shu learned that the two men were going to the capital. His journey was further than theirs, at least two days' drive away.
The broadcast train was about to arrive at the station. Lin Shu and Gu Jiu packed up the personal belongings they took out and put them into their bags.
The old man saw them cleaning up and asked clearly: "You guys get off at this stop."
"Yes, we got off at this station. Master, see you later, Xiaonian." Lin Shu packed up her luggage and asked Gu Jiu to carry it. She picked up her bag and went out, waving to the old man and the young man. .
We met by chance. I wonder if we will have a chance to meet next time.
The train stopped, the door opened, and the couple got off the train one after another.
It was just dawn outside, and the cold morning air made Lin Shu tighten her tight coat.
Gu Jiu noticed her movements, put down his luggage, found a big red scarf from his bag and wrapped it around her, "You are our baby now, don't catch a cold."
Lin Shu felt the warmth coming from her neck and asked curiously: "I am your baby, am I not your baby?"
Gu Jiu looked at the fair and delicate face against the bright red. Yan, his face suddenly flushed, and he glanced around subconsciously and found that no one was paying attention to them, "Ahem, it's all."
He picked up his luggage and urged He urged: "Aren't you hungry after riding all night? Come on, I'll take you to eat wontons."
Lin Shu pursed her lips and chuckled, and quickly followed him: "Okay."
As soon as she left the station, a young man rushed out from the slope, and Gu Jiu's shoulders were strongly held by him. Lin Shu turned around and saw the young man looking at her curiously.
Seeing her looking over, he immediately said hello with a grin: "Hi, little aunt, I have known you for a long time. I am your nephew Gu Youhui. Please take good care of me in the future."
Lin Shuxu showed a surprised expression, "The second child in the eldest brother's family, I heard your brother-in-law talk about you, but I didn't expect that when we met, I found out that you are a handsome guy who is 1.8 meters tall. Your brother-in-law didn’t tell me that you are so handsome. How handsome are you at home?”
“Of course.” Feeling the coldness around him, Gu Youhui immediately changed his words and said with a smile: “Of course you are the second most handsome.” Handsome, the most handsome guy in my family is my brother-in-law.”
Hearing this, Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows proudly, thinking that this guy knew his character.
Lin Shu noticed the expressions of his uncle and nephew and couldn't help laughing: "Ahem, the first and second handsomest guy in the Gu family, where are you going to take me to eat wontons now?"
When Gu Jiu heard this, he smiled and threw a bag of luggage to Gu Youhui, "Let's go to the state-owned restaurant on Chaoyang Road. The wontons there are the most delicious in the city."
Ling Buding threw a bag of luggage. Come over, Gu Youhui was so frightened that he hurriedly reached out to catch it , "Damn, uncle, your duffel bag is so heavy and you just hit it directly in front of my door. Don't you worry about breaking my nose? Be careful and I will be responsible for my disfigurement."
If it hadn't been for watching. For an elder's sake, he would definitely curse all the way.
“Auntie, my brother-in-law used to be a fool, but now that he’s married, why hasn’t he changed his mind? He doesn’t know how to respect the old and love the young at all. He treats us nephews as long-term workers, not like elders. Not at all."
Gu Jiu suddenly stopped and turned to stare at him, grinding his molar teeth. "Shut up! Where is the car?"
He has no cleverness at all and really wants to control the water in his brain.
Gu Youhui stuck out his tongue at him and walked past him to the front. However, he still kept talking. He said to Lin Shu: "Auntie, look at him. I'm not wrong, right? We nephews just don’t have a good face.”
Gu Jiu’s face turned dark and he wanted to kick him, “Hurry up, your aunt didn’t eat last night.”
“Ah. ?" Gu Youhui looked apologetically. Xiang Linshu said, "I'm sorry, auntie, I didn't know you were hungry already. I'll take you there right now. We'll be there in a short time by car."
"Why do you think my uncle even connected himself?" Why can't you take care of your wife? You didn't have dinner last night. He didn't know how to buy one for you on the train. If you can't eat one, just buy two. You can't starve my little aunt. , really”
Gu Jiu held his forehead.
Lin Shu looked at the tall young man in front of him funny, why is he so nagging?
He keeps babbling, and is a typical chatterbox.
However, it is easier to get along with such people.
It didn’t take long for Lin Shu to be happy. When he arrived at the state-owned hotel on Chaoyang Road, Lin Shu vomited again as soon as he got off the car. He just didn’t eat anything all night, and the food in his stomach had already been digested. Even if he wanted to vomit, he didn’t vomit anything.
"Little aunt, what's wrong? I'm getting carsick. I'm driving very smoothly, but am I still getting carsick like this?" Gu Youhui looked at Gu Jiu, who was waiting with a thermos cup, and then at Lin Shu, who was pale, "Little aunt, I drive so steadily You still get motion sickness. If my uncle were to drive, would you vomit bile?"
"It's none of your business, it's my problem." Lin Shu rinsed her mouth. I exhaled, finally feeling comfortable.
After breakfast at the state-owned hotel, Gu Jiu asked Gu Youhui to drive back first, and he wanted to walk back slowly with Lin Shu.
"Is this far from your home?" Lin Shu looked at the unfamiliar street, a little hesitant.
Gu Jiu walked slowly with her, and seeing that she didn't want to leave, he hurriedly explained: "It's not that far. It's about two hundred meters from here to home. You're not allowed to take the car, mainly because Consider that you have just eaten and are afraid that you will vomit again when you get in the car.”
Two hundred meters is not far, and it was only past ten past seven when the two of them walked back slowly. In addition to the nanny, Gu's father Gu Changsheng, Gu's mother Wang Suzhen and sister-in-law He Chunru got up at home.
Driving home, Gu Youhui helped them move their luggage upstairs and was sitting at the dining table eating breakfast.
Except for her mother-in-law Wang Suzhen, everyone in the family met for the first time today. Lin Shu's heartbeat was a little fast and her body was a little tense due to nervousness.
Especially the man in a gray tunic suit sitting on the sofa. From his gray hair on the temples and his elegant smile, he knew that he was Gu Jiu's father, her father-in-law.
Because Gu Jiu looks a lot like him.
"Dad, Mom, this is my daughter-in-law Lin Shu."
Lin Shu then called someone, "Dad, Mom"
But Wang Suzhen couldn't wait and pulled Lin Shu to sit next to her. , "You are a very particular kid. You can be casual when you go back to your own home. Aren't you tired after riding in the car for more than ten hours? Sit down and rest for a while."
"Have you had breakfast?" Wang Suzhen glanced at Lin Shu's belly, raised her head and asked Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu replied: "Mom, we went to a state-owned hotel to eat after we got off the train."
When Wang Suzhen heard this, she was very happy to know that Lin Shu was not hungry. However, she looked at Gu Youhui who was sitting at the dining table and feasting, "Didn't you eat enough outside?" Gu Youhui, who had just taken a bite of the big meat bun, paused slightly. "No, you know The wontons can only be half filled at most, and I can't eat two bowls in front of my aunt outside, so I can only eat more when I go home."
Lin Shu was embarrassed. This kid didn't eat enough outside as if she was stopping him.
Gu Changsheng never found a chance to speak. Now he heard what they said and took the opportunity to ask: "Lao Jiu, this is your first time at home. Don't be polite. If you haven't eaten enough, go and eat more. "
"Dad, I'm full, you don't have to worry about me." Lin Shu smiled at him.
Gu Changsheng thought about her pregnancy and nodded without forcing her.
Actually, Gu Jiu had already called his parents to tell them about Lin Shu's pregnancy. At this moment, Wang Suzhen also comforted her: "When you are full, don't eat for the time being. Let's eat less and often, and we will want to eat later." Let’s eat again.”
Sister-in-law Gu and the nanny brought out several dishes from the kitchen. Come, "Mom and Dad, it's time to have breakfast. Laojiu, Laojiu and wife, do you want to eat some more with us?"
"We just came back from eating outside. Sister-in-law, you eat first, and I Let's go upstairs with Shu Shu to rest." Gu Jiu saw Lin Shu's fatigue and took her upstairs.
Wang Suzhen: "You go and have a rest first. When others get up later, I will ask them to move more gently so as not to disturb your rest."
This is a three-story villa. Gu Jiu's room is on the second floor. After entering, they found that the room was very warmly decorated. The curtains were changed, the 1.5-meter bed was replaced by a 1.8-meter bed, and the wardrobe was increased by 1.5 meters. group, and a dressing table was added near the window.
Although the furniture has been changed, the room is still arranged according to Gu Jiu's preferences, and Gu Jiu is very satisfied with this.
Lin Shu found a change of clothes from her luggage bag and took a shower in the bathroom. By the time she came out, Gu Jiu had already put away all the luggage they had brought.
Maybe it was because he didn't sleep well after taking the train at night. Lin Shu waited for Gu Jiu to wash up and fell asleep soon after being held by him.
In the middle of the afternoon, Lin Shu heard the excitement upstairs. When he walked downstairs, he realized that Gu Jiu's three brothers and sisters were back.
There were more than 20 people, and they sat at two tables for dinner without being able to sit down completely. The children were all held by adults in their laps.
In this era of unrestrained fertility, the Gu family is prosperous. Two boys and one girl were born in the eldest brother’s family. The eldest boy, Gu Youtao, has already found a partner. In less than two years, maybe the sister-in-law can be with her again. Got a grandchild.
The second brother Gu’s family has one more people than the eldest brother’s family, two boys and two girls, the eldest is eighteen years old and the youngest is eight years old.
Gu Sange is only a few years older than Gu Jiu. His children are the youngest in the family, two boys, one is six years old and the other is three years old.
Gu Jiu's only sister is the fifth and the third among the brothers now. She is thirty years old this year. After getting married, she gave birth to three children, all girls. The oldest is ten years old and the youngest is ten years old. Four years old.
Lin Shu asked Gu Jiu about the situation at home before coming to the provincial capital. After dinner, everyone became familiar with each other.
Lin Shu asked Gu Jiu to carry a duffel bag down from upstairs, which was full of meeting gifts for his family.
Bo father and mother Gu each had a cashmere coat. After receiving the gift, the two old men beamed with joy. When they tried it on, they both fit perfectly.
For brothers, sisters-in-law and other people of the same generation, each person is given a piece of cloth, woolen cloth.
For the younger nephews and nieces, Lin Shu prepared two to three kilograms of wool for each person. As for how to knit the sweaters, it was left to their mother to worry about it.
This gift is not precious, but in this era where everything requires a ticket, this gift is valuable.
After all, it is not difficult for one person to get a piece of fabric to give as a gift. But getting dozens of pieces of fabric at a time is impossible without a way.
Forgive Lin Shu for wanting to give a gift but not knowing what to give. The main reason is that the fabrics in the mall are the best and most practical.
Actually, Lin Shu had thought about giving shoes as a gift, but realizing that everyone’s sizes were not very clear, he simply gave them fabrics to save trouble and not worry about what shoe size to wear.
Back in the room, Wang Suzhen put on the cashmere coat that Lin Shu gave her and was reluctant to take it off. She stood in front of the dressing mirror and took another look at it, "Old man, do you think I look good in this dress?"
Gu Changsheng leaned on the head of the bed, pursed his lips, and nodded when he heard the question: "It looks good."
"I think it looks good too. What do you think I should wear this to attend the wedding tomorrow?"
The more Wang Suzhen looked at it, the more she felt that this dress was more suitable than the one she prepared.
"It's up to you."
Wang Suzhen had seen enough, took off her clothes and hung them carefully on hangers, "I heard from Brother Jiu that they now have a canteen in their hometown. Business seems to be pretty good, and people in the county are now following suit.”
"They gave away so much fabric today. Could it be that they have a way to purchase it? And that wool, it weighs dozens of kilograms at a time. How much does it cost to prepare these gifts? I think Brother Ninth's private money is almost enough. .”
< br>Gu Changsheng took off his glasses and leaned against the bed with his eyes closed to rest. Hearing this, he thought deeply, "Since you are worried that he will spend all his money, prepare a few more red envelopes for him tomorrow, so as not to give him away tomorrow. He can't take it out. After the banquet, no matter how much gift money was received, except for the banquet money, the rest was left to them to keep."
Wang Suzhen nodded: "What you said makes sense. After the wedding banquet is over, I have to find Jiu. Let's talk bro, I'll help them Pay them to open a canteen in the provincial capital to prevent him from running back to his hometown. You must know that the quality of education in the provincial capital will be better for your children in the future. "
It is better to stay in the provincial capital for development. Those small counties in the 18th tier are better.
Gu Changsheng sneered after hearing this, "Don't worry about it anymore. Your son doesn't need you to take care of him. After the wedding banquet is over, you don't need to go find him. Someone will help you keep him."
"What do you mean by this? Could it be that the daughter-in-law wants to stay in the provincial capital?" Wang Suzhen did not understand the meaning of his words for a moment.
Gu Changsheng snorted: "Lao Jiu has a lot of bad friends outside. I heard that a few people are tinkering with starting a company recently. I think they know that Lao Jiu is back and will drag Lao Jiu and them with them. Let's work together."
"Starting a company?" Wang Suzhen sat on the bed and frowned slightly, "How reliable is this? He was a prodigal who spent three days fishing and two days drying nets. His company closed down after only a few days. "
Gu Changsheng was a bachelor. "If you ask about political affairs, I can probably tell you something. Third, I don’t know anything about business, so it’s useless to ask.”
“Then when the time comes, should I stop them?” Wang Suzhen asked.
Gu Changsheng waved his hand, "Don't interfere in this matter. Lao Jiu is a man who is getting married and is going to be a father. You let him go out on his own. Young people should move forward courageously and be motivated because of the cost of trial and error. The worst case scenario is that he loses his money, and we help him cover it. If it succeeds, we can rest assured that we don’t have to worry about their future livelihood.”
“You men are so generous!” Wang Suzhen sighed.
My dears, here comes the monthly ticket~
