"Mom, are you independent?" Gu Yahui came over unceremoniously to disrupt the situation, "My dad does the meals, my dad does the housework, and the money my dad earns is given to you. How are you independent?"
"That's only if your father is willing. I also have the skills and earn my own wages. I can do anything by myself."
Nie Yuhua refuted Gu Yahui and continued to teach Gu Nan and Chen Ruolin, "We can do nothing, but we cannot do nothing."
Gu Nan gave her a thumbs up, "Auntie, you are absolutely right."
Gu Nan found that she really didn't understand this old aunt who seemed to be ignorant of the world.
Where is the love brain? This is how to control your husband.
She knows the world but is not worldly. She can still maintain a pure heart in her forties because she has a father who protects her very well and she also meets a man who is willing to protect her from wind and rain.
More importantly, she seems to live a heartless life, but she is actually more transparent than anyone else.
Gu Yahui saw Gu Nan and Chen Ruolin looking at his mother with admiration. No matter what his mother said, the two women nodded in agreement. He complained angrily to Lu Hao, "Look, my mother started to give them trouble again."
Bad idea, let them enslave us in the future, go and get Nan Nan over."
Lu Hao looked at Gu Nan with a doting look on his face, who was holding his chin to learn from Nie Yuhua, and said, "I think Aunt Hua did the right thing."
Gu Yahui rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Just get used to it. There will be times when you feel better."
Nie Yuhua was talking with gusto. When she turned around, she saw that Gu Yating, who was sitting at the far end, was about to fall asleep. She said, "Yating, why are you dozing off?"
Gu Yating yawned and said, "Mom, what you said has nothing to do with me."
"Aren't you going to find a partner in the future?" Nie Yuhua said earnestly, hoping that her daughter could listen to her experience. "With your personality, it will be difficult to get along with men in the future. You have to change. There is no femininity at all."
Gu Yating disagreed with her mother's point of view, "I think when two people are together, they need each other and improve each other. It doesn't mean that if a girl acts like a spoiled child, she will let her husband pay for you unconditionally. Look at what my dad has done to you.
How are you doing?"
Nie Yuhua glared at Gu Yating and retorted, "How has he spoiled me? I was like this when I was in my natal family. When I was with your dad, didn't he make any progress? When I married him, he was still working as a teacher in primary school.
Now, he is a leader in the Education Bureau. This is my Wangfu, otherwise he would still be eating chalk in primary school. What happened to me acting like a baby? Women who act like a baby are the best."
The dignified and serious Gu Yating, with a slight twitch in her mouth, said that she could not imitate her mother's tricks.
Mrs. Gu agreed with a smile, "It's true. Ever since Yuhua married, Chang'an's career has been booming, his mood is good, and he looks young. Unlike Zheng'an, who has not relaxed his brows for more than 20 years.
Pass."
The power of love is huge.
Gu Zhengan, who was pouring tea for Mr. Nie and the others, heard her mother suddenly mention him. Her already stern face became expressionless and she poured the tea without saying a word. Gu Nan felt really distressed when she saw her father with a dull personality.
he,
He must have been a high-spirited young man back then.
A calculated marriage ruined everything.
...
While everyone was enjoying their meal, the home phone rang.
Gu Yating went to answer the phone, said hello, called her aunt, and then shouted into the dining room, "Grandpa, grandma, this is my aunt's phone number."
Hearing Gu Yating's shout, the atmosphere at the dinner table was a bit strange for some reason.
Except for two outsiders, Mr. Nie and Chen Ruolin, everyone else glanced at Gu Zhengan subconsciously.
Gu Zhengan lowered his head, paused slightly with his chopsticks, and then continued eating as if nothing had happened.
The stagnant atmosphere only lasted for a few seconds. Mr. Gu was the first to react. He stood up and said, "I'll answer the phone."
Mrs. Gu also followed.
Because it is an international long distance call, the phone bill is very expensive, and there is a time difference between the two sides. Therefore, Gu Lan doesn't call often. When he calls, the old man answers and chats for a few words. If not necessary, others will just ask the old man to convey their greetings.
Mr. Gu has always loved his daughter Gu Lan. He is very happy every time he receives a call from her, "Lan Lan, why did you call today?"
"Dad, I haven't contacted you in a long time. I want to ask you and my mother how they are?" The female voice on the other end of the phone was elegant and concerned.
Mr. Gu said happily, "Everything is fine at home. We are having dinner. Your eldest nephew Yahui brought back his partner today. She is a very beautiful girl."
Gu Lan sighed, "In a flash, my eldest nephew has reached the age of starting a family and starting a business."
"Xiaolan, when can you go home and see us? We all miss you very much." Mr. Gu asked expectantly.
Gu Lan replied, "Dad, I plan to go back by the end of the year."
After hearing Gu Lan's words, Mr. Gu raised his voice with joy, "Really? Are you coming back at the end of the year?"
Everyone eating in the dining room heard Mr. Gu's voice answering the phone in the hall.
If it had been in the past, Gu Changan and Nie Yuhua would have been excited to chat non-stop when they heard that Gu Lan was returning to China.
But today, they all pretended to be deaf, glanced at Gu Zhengan who lowered his head to eat, and tried not to mention Gu Lan.
Save yourself the embarrassment.
In the hall, Mr. Gu was still chatting with Gu Lan.
"I have done some business here. I heard that the domestic market has good development prospects now. I plan to focus on the country in the future."
Mrs. Gu waited for a long time and finally answered the phone. She asked expectantly, "Xiaolan, will you stop leaving from now on?"
Gu Lan responded, "I should be able to run in both directions."
When she heard that her daughter's business was going to expand from abroad to China, Mrs. Gu was very proud, "Oh, my eldest daughter is very capable, but don't be too tired and take care of yourself."
"Mom, I understand."
Gu Lan asked with concern, "Is everything okay at home?"
"all good."
"My second brother..." Gu Lan hesitated for a few seconds, then tentatively asked, "Is he okay?"
