Chapter Seventy-Four: Restless Chickens and Dogs

No wonder he bought her medicine abnormally tonight, it turned out that she still needed to do something. The subtle touch in Gu Shi'an's heart disappeared in the moment. I didn't go to see Chen Xiao, and ate the porridge with peace of mind.

Chen Xiao quickly finished eating and went to wash.

Gu Shi'an cleaned up the table after eating, probably because he was full, and his body became lazy. Chen Xiao stayed in the bedroom, she didn't go over, went back to the guest room, lay down and closed her eyes.

I was sleeping in a daze, when I felt the bed on the side sink a little. The hot palm pressed against her waist.

Chen Xiao's breathing was slightly rapid, and the exhaled breath was on her face. Gu Shi'an's confused mind was excited, and he immediately grabbed Chen Xiao's cruising hand.

Chen Xiao didn't break away, let her grab it, attached it to her ear, and said in a low voice: "Daughter-in-law, you don't want to do it at all?" ”

There was charm in his voice, and Gu Shi'an's hand that grabbed him did not let go at all. He said in a stiff voice, "I don't want to." ”

There was a slight tremor in her voice. Chen Xiao is not unforgiving, with his previous character. Gu Shi'an thought that he would definitely go for brutal methods.

Who knew but no, his hand was released.

Gu Shi'an was like a fried cat, and he rolled into the corner all of a sudden.

Chen Xiao didn't care, got up and got out of bed. Gu Shi'an originally thought that he was leaving, but who knew that he didn't, got out of bed, he propped himself on the bed with one hand and leaned forward. Wickedly, he hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "Daughter-in-law, it's not good for your health to be absent for so long. Call me if you want it, I don't care about it. ”

As he spoke, Shi Shiran got up and left. When he went out, he didn't forget to close the door for Gu Shi'an.

With the sound of the door closing, Gu Shi'an's tense body slowly relaxed. He closed his eyes and lay back on the bed.

I don't know if it's because of alcohol or the effect of medicine, she originally thought that she wouldn't be able to sleep after this stubble, but she fell asleep in a daze after a while. When I opened my eyes again, it was already dawn.

My head didn't hurt anymore, but I was still a little drowsy.

It's a rare holiday, and if it were a normal day, she would definitely sleep more. But today she had to go to the old mansion, she didn't dare to sleep more, and quickly got up to wash.

There was no Chen Xiao in the living room, probably not up yet.

After Gu Shi'an finished washing, he came out of the bedroom, lazy and lazy. He wasn't surprised to see Gu Shi'an get up, so he went to wash himself.

Waiting for him to wash up and come back, Gu Shi'an had already cleaned up, so she asked Chen Xiao: "Will you go now?" ”

Chen Xiao glanced at her.

Gu Shi'an had no choice but to say, "I want to go to the mall." "Today is the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, she should not come out again before the New Year, she plans to prepare some New Year's gifts.

Chen Xiao should have guessed her thoughts, and said, "I have already made people ready for what should be prepared, just go back directly." ”

He was moving quite fast, and he was ready to go.

Gu Shi'an didn't say anything now.

Chen Xiao called Ye Qing before going out, saying that he would go back for breakfast in the morning. The two went downstairs, and Chen Xiao's driver was already waiting downstairs. Seeing him, he stepped forward and called Mr. Chen.

Gu Shi'an originally thought that the driver was here to take them back to the old house, but he was not. He quickly took out a lot of things from the car next to Chen Xiao. put it in Chen Xiao's car.

Chen Xiao prepared a lot of things, and he took it several times in a row to finish it. Waiting for the trunk to be closed, he motioned for Gu Shi'an to get into the car. Then tell her which ones are for the old lady.

It is estimated that only the old lady's things were arranged by him, and the others were bought by the people below. He didn't know what it was, so Gu Shi'an looked at the arrangement.

After finishing talking about the gift, he suddenly glanced at Gu Shi'an and asked, "Is it okay to have a headache?" ”

I don't know what kind of mentality he asked this. Gu Shi'an replied, "It's okay."

When the two of them passed, breakfast had already been set, and because it was going to be the New Year, new lanterns had been hung under the eaves of the old house. It should have been cleaned everywhere, and there were no fallen leaves in the courtyard.

The old lady was happy when the two went back, and when they saw Chen Xiao carrying a large bag and a small bag, she reproached: "What do you buy these things for, you have them at home." ”

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "This is my filial piety to you." It's not like your own. ”

When the old lady heard this, she laughed and beckoned the two of them to go to breakfast.

Chen Xiao still had to go to work, and left after breakfast. Gu Shi'an followed Ye Qing to the kitchen to help. It's almost the New Year, and it stands to reason that Qi Shiyun should be at home, but she didn't see her at breakfast.

Gu Shi'an hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Aunt Ye, mother-in-law, hasn't she come back yet?" ”

Ye Qing sighed at this time, looked in the direction of the old lady in the living room, and said, "No, it is estimated that I will not come back for the New Year." ”

Gu Shi'an was stunned for a moment.

Ye Qing then said in a low voice: "Ah Xiao should have told her that she was coming back for the New Year, and she made a phone call at noon yesterday and came back, saying that there would be no her there." Fortunately, I answered the phone, and if the old lady answered, she would be sad again. ”

Ye Qing sighed low when he said this. Qi Shiyun's temper has been much bigger than before over the years. Saying this is threatening the old lady.

Gu Shi'an was silent for a while, hesitated for a moment, and still asked, "What about ...... Are you going to come over there for the New Year? ”

"I don't know this, the Chinese New Year's Eve meal is prepared by Ah Xiao." Ye Qing replied.

Gu Shi'an nodded at this time, since Chen Xiao let him prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, then most likely he was going to come back.

It's just that I don't know where Qi Shiyun will go for the New Year if she doesn't come back for the New Year. Maybe it's going back to Qi's house, but it's not appropriate after all.

Gu Shi'an originally thought that Chen Zhengkang's family would come over for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve. But it's not. On the afternoon of the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, she and Ye Qing were studying the menu of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the kitchen when they heard the sound of cars outside.

originally thought it was Chen Xiao coming back, but when he heard Chen Zhengkang's voice outside, he knew that they were coming.

When they came, they naturally couldn't help but go out. Ye Qing probably didn't expect them to come over today, glanced at Gu Shi'an, and then went out together.

Chen Zhengkang was quite willing this time, and he took out a lot of things from the car in large bags and small bags.

Seeing Gu Shi'an and Ye Qing going out, he didn't raise his eyelids, and continued to carry things.

This was the first time Gu Shi'an and Chen Xiao met He Shuqing after they got married, and she was a little embarrassed and called Shi'an.

Chen Xun was much calmer than He Shuqing, and shouted with a smile: "Sister-in-law." His appearance follows He Shuqing, and he is not like Chen Xiao. Wearing a pair of glasses, he is polite.

Gu Shi'an stepped forward, greeted them one by one, and then went to help carry things. He Shuqing didn't let her do it, and said with a smile: "No, just let Chen Xun take it." ”

Before her words fell, Chen Zhengkang said coldly: "How many hands does Chen Xun have?" ”

He Shuqing was even more embarrassed at this time, Gu Shi'an smiled and said that it was okay, and picked up a few other bags of things.

Chen Zhengkang was cold to Gu Shi'an, and when he saw the old lady at the door, he turned into a smile on his face. One mother screams non-stop. asked He Shuqing and Chen Xun to come forward and call people.

This is the first time He Shuqing has entered the Chen family's old house in so many years, but there is no resentment on her face, and she gently stepped forward and called Mom.

The old lady closed her eyes and said nothing, and finally ordered Ye Qing and said, "Serve tea." ”

This is the acquiescence that they stayed.

Chen Zhengkang immediately stepped forward, with a smile on his face, and said, "Mom, look at this, this is specially brought back from abroad by Shuqingtuo's friend, and I heard that it is very good for the body." And this, Xun'er went to several shopping malls to buy it. ”

The old lady's face did not change in any way, and she said lightly: "Thank you for your trouble." ”

Chen Zhengkang was anxious to show his filial piety to the old lady, and immediately took out another massager, saying that this thing was also imported, and asked Chen Xun to come forward to see how to teach the old lady how to use it.

Chen Xun kept a smile on his face, stepped forward and took out the manual, and explained.

Compared to Chen Zhengkang's urgency. He's not in a hurry. It's as if the old lady is the descendant of an ordinary family.

They came to cook early, Gu Shi'an took the snacks prepared earlier, and went back to the kitchen with Ye Qing.

The mother and son said very little, and only Chen Zhengkang's voice could be heard in the living room for a while.

Ye Qing shook his head and sighed lowly.

The two of them took out the ingredients, and there was the sound of footsteps at the kitchen door. Gu Shi'an raised his head and saw He Shuqing walking to the door.

Ye Qing naturally saw her too, and said politely: "What are you looking for?" ”

He Shuqing was somewhat embarrassed, and said, "No, I'm fine when I'm sitting, come and help you." ”

Ye Qing probably didn't expect her to come over to help, so he was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "No, you rest." ”

He Shuqing had already entered the kitchen, and said with a slight smile: "It's okay, I'll do this at home." I have not been filial to the old lady for so many years, and I should let the old lady taste my craft. ”

She couldn't find what she said when she said that, Ye Qing. She had to cook for the old lady to taste, and of course she couldn't stop it. Just said a few words to tell her to be careful.

He Shuqing thanked her, and then greeted Gu Shi'an. asked Gu Shi'an softly what the old lady usually likes to eat.

Gu Shi'an replied one by one with a smile.

He Shuqing spoke softly, and she always had a gentle smile on her face. She didn't talk much, and after asking the old lady what she liked to eat, she greeted Gu Shi'an. Say something commonplace.

Her cooking skills are good, originally she was just helping, but in the end, Gu Shi'an became her helper.

Gu Shi'an didn't see her much, and Chen Zhengkang would come to the door from time to time to make trouble over the years. But she never came.

Almost every time Gu Shi'an saw her, she was calm and decent. Even if she was scolded by Qi Shiyun for some unbearable words.

When Chen Xiao came back later, he was not surprised to see this family. The expression on his face was faint.

Chen Zhengkang has been courteous in front of the old lady, and when he saw Chen Xiao come back, he restrained a little. When Chen Xun saw Chen Xiao, he called out to his brother the same as when he saw Gu Shi'an.

He Shuqing was embarrassed, but in the end, she still called Ah Xiao with Chen Zhengkang.

Chen Xiao is polite and rusty.

Chen Zhengkang didn't make trouble, and the meal was unprecedentedly harmonious. The old lady couldn't see anything on her face, and after eating, she went back to the room first under the pretext that she was tired.

The room was arranged early, probably because she didn't want to see Chen Xiao, and when the old lady went back to the room, Chen Zhengkang also called He Shuqing and Chen Xun to go upstairs together.

Chen Xiao was worried about the old lady, poured a glass of water and carried it into the old lady's room.

The old lady was really tired, and he came out after a while. Gu Shi'an stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Is grandma asleep?" ”

Chen Xiao nodded. glanced upstairs, took out a cigarette to light it, and then asked Gu Shi'an: "Didn't you make any trouble today?" ”

Gu Shi'an nodded and said, "No." ”

Chen Xiao didn't speak anymore.

The two of them were preparing to go upstairs. He Shuqing walked down from the upper floor. Seeing the two of them, an uncomfortable smile appeared on their faces. She glanced at Chen Xiao, handed him the paper bag she was carrying, and said, "I didn't come here to marry Shi'an, although it was a little late...... This is a wedding gift from your aunt. ”

Chen Xiao didn't have any expression on his face, and he didn't pick up the bag.

He Shuqing's face was a little unbearable, and when he was about to take it back, Chen Xiao took it. Not salty, not light, you are polite.

He accepted the things, and He Shuqing breathed a sigh of relief. said with a gentle smile: "Then I'll go up first, you and Shi'an go to bed early." ”

She said and went upstairs.

Chen Xiao threw the bag to Gu Shi'an, and only went upstairs after a while.

The box was handed to Gu Shi'an, but Gu Shi'an didn't open it, and when he entered the room, he rested on the small table. Chen Xiao lazily sat down on the sofa, raised his chin, and said, "Open it and take a look." What was sent. ”

There was something sarcastic in his tone.

Gu Shi'an didn't say a word, and took out the small box in the paper bag. Inside was a jade bracelet, apparently given to her.

Chen Xiao took the bracelet and looked at it in his hand, sneered, and said, "It's a bloody investment." ”

Listening to his tone, this jade bracelet should be quite expensive, but he didn't care about it, and threw it back directly, making a slight crisp sound.

I couldn't tell how he was feeling. After throwing the bracelet back into the box, he got up and went to shower.

Obviously, there are so many people living in the old house tonight, it should be lively. But I don't know why, Gu Shi'an feels extremely lonely.

The guest room that Ye Qing arranged for Chen Zhengkang's family was at the other end of the corridor, and they were probably already asleep, without any sound.

Probably because there was something in her head, she lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep for a long time, and she didn't know how long it took before she slowly fell asleep.

She woke up early the next day. As soon as I went downstairs, I saw Qi Shiyun walking in from outside. She looked indifferent, and asked coldly without waiting for Gu Shi'an to speak, "Are they back?" ”

Her voice was a little harsh in the empty living room. In the kitchen, Ye Qing walked out quickly, afraid that she would make trouble, so she said with a smile: "Madam, you are back." ”

Qi Shiyun sneered at this time and said, "It's hard for you to remember my wife." ”

The old lady hadn't gotten up at this time, Gu Shi'an was afraid of making trouble, so she hurried back and called Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao immediately frowned when he heard Qi Shiyun come back at this time, and said, "Go over there and watch, let them not go downstairs." ”

He moved very quickly, and he got up immediately.

As soon as the two of them arrived at the staircase, Qi Shiyun had already walked up, sneered and said, "Okay, all of them don't exist when I don't exist, right?" ”

Her face was full of anger, and her voice was loud. Chen Xiao grabbed her and said, "Grandma is still sleeping, I'll go out and talk to you." ”

"What to talk about? You son of a, now even you are joining forces with them to bully me, aren't you? She said as tears fell.

Chen Xiao half-pushed and half-coaxed her out.

As long as she didn't sleep to death, she should have heard it. But Chen Zhengkang didn't come out to quarrel with her as before.

Gu Shi'an was worried about the old lady, so he went downstairs and pushed open the old lady's door and saw that the old lady had not woken up yet, so he gently closed the door again.

With Qi Shiyun's temper, Chen Xiao may not be able to persuade him. Gu Shi'an was worried and kept looking outside.

I don't know how Chen Xiao persuaded him, but it didn't take long for him and Qi Shiyun to come in. Qi Shiyun's face was no longer tear-stained, and she was not as excited as she was just now, almost expressionless.

Chen Xiao's face was also expressionless, and he didn't know what the two were talking about outside.

Gu Shi'an didn't ask, and went to pour Qi Shiyun a cup of hot tea.

Qi Shiyun glanced at her coldly, but took the tea.

She had just returned from outside, drank tea and went upstairs to change her clothes. When I went downstairs, I walked directly to the kitchen door and said to Gu Shi'an: "I have something to say to you when I come out." ”

She didn't go back to the living room, but walked to the corner of the hallway. Only then did he say lightly: "From now on." Remember to lock the bedroom door and the study at all times. The corners of her mouth showed a faint sarcasm, and then she said: "Weasel gives a New Year's greeting to chickens, what do you think will be good?" ”

When she said this, she didn't know whether she was referring to Chen Zhengkang or the mother and son. After speaking, he didn't care about Gu Shi'an, turned around and left directly.

I don't know if I really don't know if Qi Shiyun is back or if I don't know, when He Shuqing went downstairs, she was stunned when she saw Qi Shiyun sitting on the sofa, and then a reluctant smile appeared on her face, and she shouted, "Sister, you're back." ”

Qi Shiyun's eyelids didn't lift, her face showed a sneer, and she said, "Sister? Over the years, your ability to give yourself a long face has increased a lot. ”

was blocked by her like that, He Shuqing's face was red and white for a while. Tears rolled out of her eyes, and she looked at Chen Zhengkang who was going downstairs behind her with some confusion.

The green tendons on Chen Zhengkang's forehead jumped violently, but he still cared about the old lady, pointed at Qi Shiyun's nose and scolded: "You don't give me a face, what kind of thing are you?" ”

The sarcasm on Qi Shiyun's face was even stronger, and she said, "What am I?" I am the wife that you Chen Zhengkang is marrying! ”

Chen Zhengkang probably didn't expect her to mention the word 'wife'. Probably because he was afraid that He Shuqing would be wronged, he immediately said: "What kind of daughter-in-law of the Chen family are you, you haven't been here all these years, why wouldn't the old lady let us come back?" ”

When he said that, he became angry.

Indeed, if it weren't for Qi Shiyun, maybe he would have come back with his wife and children. Where is the need to work hard outside, and stay for so many years.

Qi Shiyun was not angry at all, and sneered. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the old lady come out of the room.

She swallowed back all the words she was about to utter.

Only Chen Zhengkang's family is in a weird atmosphere, and when Qi Shiyun comes back, this weird atmosphere is even worse. I don't know what Chen Xiao said to her, she barely speaks. For a while, it can be regarded as peaceful.

Compared with Chen Xiao, Chen Xun is much gentler. Even when Qi Shiyun came back, she kept a gentle smile on her face.

Called Aunt Qi Shiyun, and poured tea for her when she saw that there was no tea in her teacup. Even if Qi Shiyun had a cold face, he didn't care, he still looked gentle and gentle.

Tomorrow is the New Year. He and Ye Qing listed that the list of Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was missing some ingredients. After breakfast, Gu Shi'an told the old lady that she went to the supermarket.

As soon as she said this, Chen Xun stood up and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I'll send you." Staying at home is also staying, and I used to be able to help you carry something. ”

Gu Shi'an smiled slightly and said, "No, I'll just go by myself, there aren't many things." ”

Chen Xun had already picked up his coat and said, "Don't be polite to me, there must be a lot of people in the supermarket today." It's inconvenient for you to go alone. ”

Gu Shi'an didn't expect him to be so persistent, and just about to refuse again, He Shuqing smiled and said, "Shi'an, just let him go with him." He can help a little bit. ”

Gu Shi'an had no choice but to respond.

Chen Xun doesn't drive the car in the old mansion either, he still drives the car they drove over. When he arrived in front of the car, he opened the door of the car for Gu Shi'an with a very gentlemanly demeanor, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, be careful not to touch your head." ”

Gu Shi'an politely said thank you now.

He smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you are too polite."

Gu Shi'an didn't see him very often, and the most time he saw him was when he followed behind Chen Zhengkang, and stopped Chen Zhengkang from making a big noise with a shameful face.

She couldn't find any topic to talk about, and she didn't speak for a while.

Chen Xun didn't speak. waited for the car to drive out of the old house, and then suddenly said: "Sister-in-law, do you look down on me?" ”

There was a little bitterness on his face, and there was a little reluctance in his gentle smile.

Gu Shi'an didn't expect him to ask like that, he was slightly stunned, and was about to speak, Chen Xun continued: "Actually, I sometimes look down on myself. You should hate me and my mom, after all, ......."

The smile on his face was even more bitter when he said this, and he paused.
