"Aunt Gu, what delicious food did you make?" Wang Yanhui finally couldn't stand it anymore and ran to the kitchen and asked curiously with his little head stuck in his head.
"I made mooncakes. When they are ready, you can help me taste them first."
"Oh, great."
Wang Yanhui screamed happily and hurried to call his brother Wang Yanchao and Gu Rui.
Soon the three children turned off the TV and stood in a row at the door of the kitchen waiting to eat mooncakes.
When Gu Xingdong came back, he saw three little ones eagerly guarding the door. He couldn't help but said happily: "Are you waiting to share the money?"
Ruirui turned around and explained: "Dad, mom is making puff pastry mooncakes."
"Yes, Uncle Gu, there is milk and sugar in it. Aunt Gu told us to help taste it after it's done. I can't speak anymore. I feel like my saliva is drooling." Wang Yanhui covered his mouth and turned around.
He turned back and continued to stare at the movements of Chen Lishu's hands.
Nowadays, children don't have much snacks. Generally, they don't want to add more oil when cooking at home. People like Chen Lishu add lard, milk, sugar and eggs. The aroma will naturally make several children drool.
"Uncle Gu, aren't you greedy?" Wang Yanchao turned around and asked.
Gu Xingdong said seriously: "It's okay, your uncle, I can hold it back, and I'll wrap it up after you finish tasting the rest."
"Ah?" Wang Yanhui shouted, looked back at Gu Xingdong and discussed: "Uncle, can you leave some for us?"
Gu Xingdong held back his laughter and shook his head: "I'm afraid not."
His refusal was immediately met with sad looks from the three children.
"Don't listen to your uncle's nonsense. The three of you eat first, and then share the rest with him."
Chen Lishu came out with a plate with several already prepared puff pastry mooncakes on it: "We will have dinner later, and each person is only allowed to eat one piece. This thing is crumbly, so you can only eat it at the table, okay?"
"Aunt Gu, you are so kind!" Wang Yanhui said and glanced at Gu Xingdong quietly. Although he envied Gu Rui for having a good mother, this father seemed not very good and even competed with children for food.
"How about you try the mooncakes I made?" Seeing the children eating happily, Chen Lishu picked up a piece and handed it to Gu Xingdong.
Gu Xingdong took it and said, "I finally remembered that I was here. I thought it was only for them."
Chen Lishu smiled: "You are no longer jealous even if you are a child."
He turned around and asked the three children: "How does it taste?"
"Good." "Delicious." "Very delicious."
Seeing everyone's unanimous praise, Chen Lishu returned to the kitchen and made all the remaining mooncakes.
This time she used five kilograms of noodles and made nearly thirty mooncakes in total.
When Zhao Guiying came over to ask the child to eat, Chen Lishu gave her five yuan and left the remaining five yuan for Gu Xingdong. The rest was going to be taken to the city for everyone to try.
Since making mooncakes takes up a lot of time, dinner consists of hand-rolled noodles made by Gu Xingdong and fried egg sauce by Chen Lishu.
"Son, how does it taste? Are the noodles made by dad good?" Gu Xingdong asked confidently.
Ruirui nodded: "It's delicious, the egg sauce is particularly fragrant."
Gu Xingdong suddenly felt that his question was a bit redundant, and he always felt that it would be better not to ask.
After dinner, Chen Lishu wanted to pick up the table, but Gu Xingdong held her down: "I made so many mooncakes in the afternoon, just these few bowls, I will wash them in a while."
Seeing this, Ruirui put away the stool and came over to give Chen Lishu a backbeat.
Feeling the superior treatment given to the father and son, Chen Lishu couldn't help but laugh: "I think you two should take it easy and let the water flow slowly. If you use too much force once, I will be disappointed if you don't receive such treatment next time."
"Don't worry." Gu Xingdong's voice came from the kitchen: "The service can only be upgraded, how can we back down? I will treat you well in the evening."
Chen Lishu immediately blushed: "The child is still here."
Gu Xingdong came out to wipe the table with a rag. When he heard her words, he raised his eyebrows and said teasingly: "What are you thinking about? I'm going to rub your legs in a moment."
Chen Lishu knew that he said that on purpose, so she ignored him.
At night, after the family of three washed up and watched Ruirui go back to the room to sleep, thinking about Zhang Xue, Chen Lishu asked: "Does Li Weimin have a partner now?"
When Gu Xingdong saw her getting on the bed, he stretched out his arm and said, "I guess not. Do you want to introduce him to someone?"
"Yes." Chen Lishu nodded: "My classmate Zhang Xue."
Thinking of the fate between the two of them, Chen Lishu sat up again: "You don't even know how destined they are, let me tell you..."
After she told what happened, Gu Xingdong nodded: "It's indeed a fate. I'll ask him about it tomorrow."
"It's getting late, let's go to bed." Gu Xingdong said and turned off the lights.
Chen Lishu: "It's not too early to go to bed before nine o'clock. How about I read a book some more."
Gu Xingdong: “It’s just the right time after exercise.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the room instantly fell into darkness...
The next day, when Chen Lishu got up, it was already bright outside.
After they cooked some rice porridge and boiled eggs, Chen Lishu took Ruirui back to the city.
Li Weimin felt a little uneasy today. Gu Xingdong's eyes had been on him since the morning exercise, which made him feel very uneasy.
In his mind, he unconsciously recalled everything he had done in the past few days. He was very serious about training and did not slack off, and he did not speak ill of him behind his back. Could it be that he was in a bad mood and wanted to 'operate' on him?
However, this idea was rejected by him as soon as it came up.
Yesterday was the weekend and Chen Lishu went home. It was impossible for Gu Xingdong to be in a bad mood.
However, Gu Xingdong only glanced at him occasionally but said nothing. He was nervous until he had breakfast and was about to go back to the dormitory to get something when he suddenly heard Gu Xingdong say: "Come to my office."
Li Weimin thought that what was supposed to come would come, so he could only bite the bullet and follow Gu Xingdong upstairs.
At this moment, he finally felt a little bit about Wu Zheng's pain. The worst he could do was cross country with a load of fifty kilograms, which was actually not very feasible.
"Close the door."
Do we have to close our doors? How serious is this? Why don’t we just admit our mistakes first?
However, his pig head couldn't figure out what mistake he made.
"How old are you this year?"
Gu Xingdong asked as he took out a pen and paper from the drawer to record. This was a task assigned to him by Chen Lishu and he must do it well.
"My actual age is twenty-five, my actual age is twenty-six, my hair is twenty-seven, and my age is twenty-eight."
Gu Xingdong suddenly felt that the pen in his hand was in the way and wanted to hit him directly.
Li Weimin also remained confused, wondering why Gu Xingdong asked.
"Do you have a partner?"
"No."
"Have you ever been together before?"
Li Weimin shook his head and replied truthfully: "I want to deal with it." Unfortunately, no one was willing.
Now he suddenly woke up. He was excited but also felt a little impossible, so he tentatively asked: "Boss, are you going to introduce me to someone?"
