Chapter 129: The Return
The one who came to open the door was a woman in her forties, she looked at Hou Fuxiu's father and son, her eyes turned red instantly, her mouth kept jumping out, and Hou Fuxiu hugged her. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Then there was Hou's father, who was relaxed in front of Gu Wu, and he felt a little uncomfortable in front of this servant.
She didn't take the initiative to hug Hou's father, but just took Hou Fuxiu's hand and nodded at him.
Subsequently, Hou Fuxiu asked Gu Wu after her birth to say to her: "Jude, this is my fiancΓ©e." β
Jude looked at Gu Wu in surprise, pulled her and looked her up and down several times, and then said a lot to Hou Fuxiu, and then her hand never let go of Gu Wu again.
While walking, Jude talked all the way, Hou Fuxiu nodded from time to time and asked some more questions. With Gu Yu's English level, she can only roughly understand what they are talking about.
Jude told them about Old Man Hou's physical condition all the way.
They made their way down the hallway to the end of the hallway, and Jude opened the door and leaned slightly to let them in.
Hou Fuxiu walked in first, Hou's father followed, then Gu Wu, and Jude last.
This room is very large, surrounded by a large circle of floor-to-ceiling windows, and it is sparsely snowing outside, and the room is warm like spring, and there are many lush potted plants on the windowsill, and it can be seen that the owner takes care of them very carefully.
On one side of the wall of the house is a large bookcase that reaches to the ceiling, and in front of the bookcase is a wood-burning stove, in front of which is a single sofa, the sofa chair is high, and Gu Wu can only see the silver-white hair exposed when she stands behind.
Obviously, Jude's words did not make Old Man Hou react, Hou Fuxiu interrupted Jude himself and slowly walked to the sofa, squatted down and tilted his head and said in Chinese: "Grandpa, I'm back." β
After waiting for a while, Gu Wu heard an old voice sound: "Oh, aren't you the best kid who used to play with my Xiaoxiu?" Did you graduate from college? β
Hou Fuxiu was obviously very used to the old man like this, stretched out his hand and touched his hands warmly, knowing that Jude took good care of him, he smiled.
Father Hou slowly stepped forward and squatted down: "Dad, I'm back." β
The old man didn't react at first, and then said slowly, "Who are you?" β
Hou's father looked a little embarrassed, sighed and said to Hou Fuxiu: "It seems that he is still like this, he only knows Jude and Qianqian." β
Hearing someone mention his daughter's name, the old man hurriedly got up and said, "Has Qianqian come back?" β
Jude replied in fluent but slightly accented Chinese: "Miss will arrive early tomorrow morning." β
Old Man Hou nodded, the excitement he had just had disappeared instantly, and he sat down again in frustration and muttered, "You are calling me when Qianqian comes back." β
As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the room felt a little uncomfortable, and Jude seemed to be very experienced in dealing with the situation, and she walked down the old man's side to arrange the blanket on his lap and ask him what he would like to eat later.
The old man didn't seem to have much appetite, and then Jude asked if he wanted to eat crab roe xiaolongbao, and the old man thought about it and nodded.
Then he waved his hand and seemed to say to him that so many people appeared in his room, which made him very unhappy: "Let's go, let's go, you all go, I'm going to wait for my Qianqian." β
Hou's father obviously wanted to say something, but was pulled out of the room by Hou Fuxiu.
After Jude led the two servants to put their luggage in their respective rooms, she beckoned everyone to the living room to chat, saying that she had prepared for their arrival two days in advance, and made Hou Fuxiu a large plate of Cranklin chicken stew and seafood that he had loved since childhood.
Hou Fuxiu led Gu Yu to their room.
Jude probably knew the news that Gu Wu was coming in advance, and all the toiletries were prepared in two, and the room was also very large, in addition to a separate bathroom, there was also a small study room.
The room was very warm, Gu Wu took off her coat, and only a thin sweater was left on her body, which was completely able to keep out the cold.
"The old man used to recognize me and my father, but now he only knows my aunt except for Jude, who has always taken care of him."
Gu Wu stretched out her hand and touched his shoulder
Hou Fuxiu smiled bitterly twice: "No matter how many methods are used, the old man just doesn't recognize us, and if he talks too much, he will get angry and ignore people." There's no way we can see him like this, so we can only appear in front of him less. Our feeling is small, and the old man is sick with anger is the big thing. β
At this time, although he kept smiling on his face, Gu Wu could see the obvious helplessness in his eyes.
For this kind of thing, people can do very little, can only try to take care of the elderly better, in better.
Looking at the white-haired old man who acted like a child, Gu Wu knew why Hou Fuxiu and Hou's father didn't take the old man to take care of him.
"There are some things in this life that cannot go well."
Hou Fuxiu smiled at her: "How can you speak in such an emotional tone?" The old family is not like this today, and my father and I are mentally prepared. It's just a little sad to look at him and think about how he played around him when he was a child. Although the old man doesn't remember us now, as long as he is in good health, we are very happy to be juniors. β
After the three of them finished dinner quietly, Hou's father didn't know where to slip away, Gu Wu looked at the sky and asked him with some concern: "It's already nine o'clock, and it's snowing outside again." Uncle won't have a problem, right? β
Hou Fuxiu sat on the sofa and looked at the newspaper and said, "Don't worry, he is an idle person, you don't care about him." β
As a junior, it is indeed not good to keep asking about the affairs of the elders, seeing that Hou Fuxiu's reaction was so indifferent, Gu Wu knew that it was not the first time that Hou's father had done this, so he also closed his mouth.
After a day's drive, the two of them went to bed to rest.
The next day, just after breakfast, Hou Fuxiu's aunt arrived.
Like Hou Fuxiu, Hou Qian also drove herself, the difference is that Hou Fuxiu and they drove a family SUV, while Hou Qian is a million-dollar supercar.
Gu Wu looked at the black streamlined supercar into the garden and said to Hou Fuxiu with emotion: "I didn't expect your aunt to like to drive a supercar." β
Hou Fuxiu was surprised: "Why do you feel this way?" β
Gu Wu thought for a while: "I think she should be dressed beautifully and sit in the back seat of a luxury car and let others drive." β
Hou Fuxiu smiled and looked at Gu Wu meaningfully: "Then you are really mistaken, she is not the same person as you imagined." β
Hou Qian walked in and greeted Hou Fuxiu and Gu Wu first. Like Jude, she probably knew in advance that Gu Wu was coming, and she didn't show any surprise, and after hugging, she also took out a greeting gift. A bracelet encrusted with diamonds. Although it is not as scary as the Hou father, this gift is really not light.
"You are the girlfriend brought by Xiao Xiu, as an elder, I only hope that you will be well, don't let us wait for a long time for a lifelong event."
Hou Qian was full of smiles when she said this, not at all as imposing as when Gu Wu saw her for the first time, as if she was an aunt who hoped that her nephew would get married soon.
Hou Fuxiu said with a smile: "Aunt Cheng Jiyan, I hope it won't be too long." β
Gu Wu was a little embarrassed, to be honest, she really didn't think about getting married, but everyone was like this, Gu Wu seriously began to think about getting married early for the first time.
After Hou Qian arrived, the whole family seemed to come to life, and the old man didn't stay in his own room all day long, he had to pull Hou Qian by his side when he was free or not, and his expression and tone were as if Hou Qian was still a seven or eight-year-old girl.
Several times, Gu Wu heard the old man whisper softly to Hou Qian, let her buy a few beautiful clothes to wear, the money is not enough, Dad is here, Dad will give it to you.
God knows that Hou Qian is almost fifty years old, and she is a little embarrassed to be treated like this by the old man, so she can only say to Gu Wu in private that the old man was not like this before, in fact, he is a very strict parent, whether he treats work or children, he is like a natural leader, as long as the things decided are irrefutable.
"I remember when I was 16 years old my dad wouldn't let my mom give me money, and he told me not to ask him to pay for me unless I could go to the school he assigned to me. You also know that college tuition in the United States is surprisingly expensive, so in order to reduce the burden on myself, I studied hard and finally got admitted to the school he designated. He was very happy that day and rewarded me with my first car in my life. When I thought that my unfettered university life was about to begin, he said to me that if I could go all the way to my Ph.D., he would give me the fund that my mother had set up for me to manage. This way, I don't have to work hard to earn living expenses.
But God knows, I didn't have any interest in biotechnology back then, my favorite thing was music, and my biggest dream was to make my own violin album. Unfortunately, the conservatory was too expensive for me to afford at the age of eighteen, and my father cut off all my fees except tuition in middle school in order to make me listen to him. At this point, I can't compare to minor repairs. He went to college at the age of sixteen and received his degree at the age of nineteen. Randomly went to film school again. I couldn't do it anymore, I listened to my father all the way, and from elementary school to doctoral graduation, I lived according to my father's line. β
Hou Qian took a sip of coffee and smiled: "But who would have thought that such a person who has been tough all his life would now be like such a clingy child." Ay! β
She is a very good chattering person, when Gu Wu is with her, the topic is often taken away by her, but she feels very comfortable, she will ask Gu Wu from time to time to ask two sentences about Gu Wu's feelings, if she sees that Gu Wu is not interested in the topic, she will naturally move to another place. And from her, Gu Wu obviously felt the good tutoring of the Hou family.
Not only Hou Qian, but even the most unreliable Hou's father, you won't hate him when you are with him, because he cares very much about the feelings of the people around him, no matter who he is, he is polite to anyone, and keeping a certain distance can make people feel his respect.
After getting along with Gu Wu, she felt that the worst thing in the whole family was Hou Fuxiu.
It may be that the relationship between the two of them was between the company's superiors and subordinates when they first came into contact, and Hou Fuxiu always felt a little tough and commanding.
At that time, Gu Wu didn't think that after getting along with the two elders in the past few days of living in the Hou family, Gu Wu really felt the difference.
She giggled when she talked to Hou Qian: "Xiao Xiu is like his grandfather, and my father said a long time ago that the whole family is most like his personality is Xiao Xiu." However, Xiao Xiu is still not as tough as the old man. You know what? If the old man was in the position of a small repair, he would not have listened to the family's arrangement to read life skills at all, and it is estimated that he would have run away from home early in the morning to make a movie. He resembles his father in some personalities, but he is still not as tough as him. β
Gu Wu would talk about Hou Fuxiu when she was with Hou Qian, and she would also mention Hou Qian when she was with Hou Fuxiu at night.
Contrary to Hou Qian, Hou Fuxiu didn't seem to have much desire to speak, just listening to Gu Wu, and had to interject a few sentences from time to time.
Gu Wu stayed at Hou's house for six days, and overall it was very pleasant.
Hou's father often doesn't see people when he is out of tune, but as long as he is at home at home, Gu Wu is a little sweetheart and a little cutie, Gu Wu was embarrassed at first, but later he has learned to turn a deaf ear and turn a blind eye.
Hou Qian spends most of her time by the old man's side, but she will also find time to chat with Gu Sister-in-law, and after a long time, Gu Sister-in-law can always hear that she is talking about the Hou family, intentionally or unintentionally.
Some interesting stories about Hou Fuxiu's childhood, and his relationship with his family.
This method of secretly mentioning points made Gu Wu very good, she felt that Hou Qian could make HR5 a multinational company, and her soft leadership really played an important role.
Yes, although Hou Qian didn't say it, Gu Qian could feel that she also had a natural desire to control like Hou Fuxiu, but it was just a difference in the way of expression.
If the old man is a representative of the hardliners, then Hou Qian is a typical example of overcoming rigidity with softness. She won't be tough enough to get you to accept her ideas, but she'll lure you in the bait a little bit and willingly do things her way.
Both methods achieve similar goals, but they give people completely different feelings, but as the lured rabbit, you can't say who is bad and who is good.
was forced to do things, and was sold to help her count the money. None of this is a good outcome for rabbits.
Thinking of these two people, Gu Wu naturally contacted Hou Fuxiu.
As a member of the Hou family, it is not strange that he has the kind of control of the Hou family, but what makes Gu Wu feel strange is that she did not feel particularly uncomfortable when she was with Hou Fuxiu.
The old man doesn't hide his thoughts, although Hou Qian doesn't say it, Gu Qian can feel it. But Hou Fuxiu Gu Wu really didn't feel this way.
Yes, sometimes his tone is not tough, but this toughness can be felt in all leaders, which is simply the temperament of a leader from a small supervisor to the president of a country.
