Chapter 459: A Change in Attitude
Compared with the excitement on Ning Xi's side, the Gu family's Chinese New Year's Eve was extremely deserted.
In the entire old mansion, only Gu Tingjun and Old Man Gu were left sitting at the dining table.
After half a year of recuperation, the old man's physical condition has improved, but it is still much worse than before.
When he threatened Ning Xi, although he was on crutches, his back was still straight, and his spirit was also very good.
But now, it was obvious that he was a little old.
"Grandpa, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, I let most of the servants go home for the New Year, let's have a clean Spring Festival."
The few delicate side dishes in front of him were made by Gu Tingjun, all of which were the old man's favorite dishes, and the dumplings were also cooked by him.
The old man sighed deeply: "Xiaojun, have you ever blamed grandpa?" ”
Gu Tingjun didn't speak, picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of fish meat on the plate in front of the old man.
This fish is a dragon head fish, except for the main bone, there are no small spines, which is very suitable for the elderly and children.
"Grandpa, you better eat, the food should be cold in a while."
"Child, if I hadn't forced you at the beginning, I wouldn't have been reduced to only our grandfather and grandson to spend this year."
Old Man Gu was indeed very remorseful.
Now he knows what an excellent granddaughter-in-law he missed.
After experiencing this life and death, Old Man Gu wanted to open a lot.
The things he was entangled with before seemed so insignificant in the face of death.
He thought he was doing it for his grandson's good, but he deeply hurt his grandson and made him miserable.
When he was poisoned by the poison, it dawned on him.
There are too many things in life that are more important than face and status.
During this period of recuperation, he thought a lot and self-examined a lot.
Why do his sons resent him so much, and even the grandchildren who grew up with him were estranged from him?
It's all his own problem.
Perhaps his insistence for most of his life was wrong.
"Grandpa, don't talk about this for the New Year. Isn't it good for us to celebrate the New Year? ”
"Look at these sons of grandpa, who are away from home, in prison, if I don't have you with me, I would be a bleak night."
Old Man Gu smiled bitterly, which made Gu Tingjun feel a little uncomfortable.
He knew that what happened in the Gu family this year was a heavy blow to the old man.
After all, his son wants his own life, which is unacceptable to anyone.
"Grandpa......"
Gu Tingjun just wanted to enlighten a few words, but saw Old Man Gu wave his hand and stopped him: "Xiaojun, go, go to her, that child is also a poor child, take good care of others in the future, the child is still so young, it is really wronged to follow you." ”
Gu Tingjun was also speechless, this is really his own grandfather.
I used to think that Ning Xi was not worthy of her grandson, but now her attitude has changed 180 degrees, and she dislikes her grandson's age.
"Don't think about it so much, I'm not going anywhere tonight, I'm just staying at home with you. There are a lot of friends there. ”
Gu Tingjun wanted to accompany Ning Xi very much, but as he said, even if he was not there, Ning Xi was not alone, but if he left, his grandfather would become a person.
In fact, he had also mentioned before that he wanted to take Ning Xi to review his home for the New Year, but Ning Xi refused.
The reason is that she has not officially met her parents, so it is really inappropriate to go to Gu's house for the New Year.
Gu Tingjun thought about it, what she said was reasonable, and her grandfather's attitude, including her previous practices, was an unpleasant memory for Ning Xi.
Considering Ning Xi's mood, Gu Tingjun didn't force anything more.
But Old Man Gu insisted that he accompany Ning Xi, and Gu Tingjun had to say that he would finish eating first.
I didn't know that Old Man Gu's attitude towards himself had changed a lot, and as soon as Ning Xi hung up the video with the Mu family, he heard a familiar voice in the courtyard.
"Happy New Year, everyone."
The voice came from far and near, so that Ning Xi couldn't help but hold his forehead.
It's him again!
"Xun is always good."
"Mr. Xun!"
"Mr. Xun!"
As he spoke, a pair of long legs had already entered the living room and beckoned to Ning Xi.
"Yo, Xiaoxi, have a good New Year. Jun didn't come to spend Chinese New Year's Eve with you, heh, what a guy without conscience. Let's see, it's better to be brother, I flew over on purpose to accompany you to keep the New Year. ”
Ning Xi laughed dryly twice, and was really speechless for Xun Ce's cheekiness.
"If you don't go back to your own house, what year will you spend here with me?"
"I'm not home anywhere by myself. Besides, you're alone, so let's just be a companion. ”
Xun Ce looked familiar and sat down on the sofa, as if he really regarded this place as his home.
"Hehe, I'm not alone, I don't need to be with you."
Having said that, Ning Xi can't just open his mouth to drive people away, for the New Year, politeness still has to be there, after all, he is Gu Tingjun's friend.
Seeing that it was already dark and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the kitchen was almost over, Hibiscus Kapok and they had already begun to prepare the table.
At this time, Ning Xi's mobile phone rang again, and it was another video call, but this time Gu Tingjun called.
Transferring the video to the TV screen, Ning Xi immediately showed a sweet smile.
"Jun."
"Xixi, has your Chinese New Year's Eve dinner begun?"
Gu Tingjun looked at Ning Xi dotingly, and the thoughts in his eyes almost overflowed the screen: "Xixi, next Chinese New Year's Eve, I will definitely accompany you." ”
"Well, you should accompany your grandfather well this year."
"That's right, Jun, don't worry, Xiaoxi still has me by her side."
I don't know when, Xun Ce came over and winked at Gu Tingjun on the screen.
Gu Tingjun was unhappy all of a sudden: "Why are you where are you in Xixi?" Don't go home? ”
"I'm a bachelor, where are I going to celebrate the New Year? Xiaoxi is very crowded here. ”
Boisterous? Gu Tingjun complained in his heart, after so many years, how did he not know that he was a person who liked to be lively?
"Young Master, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is ready, and it's time to start the banquet."
Qili came over to ask Ning Xi to eat, and Gu Tingjun didn't say much.
"Stinky boy! If you don't go, your daughter-in-law will be snatched away! ”
The video was broken, and Old Man Gu couldn't help but speak.
He just secretly glanced at the video, and found that Ning Xi had another man by his side, and his appearance and aura were not inferior to his grandson.
So the old man was also a little anxious, and hurriedly urged Gu Tingjun to find Ning Xi.
"Grandpa, your granddaughter-in-law won't be snatched away, she has accepted my marriage proposal. You can spend the New Year with peace of mind. Tomorrow, I'll go with her tomorrow, okay? ”
As encouraged by previous years, his parents will be back tomorrow and will probably stay at home for a month.
With his parents accompanying his grandfather, he can go to Ning Xi with confidence.
