In the first head-to-head confrontation, Gu Qi and Chen Xingling's attitudes were tough enough, Guo Jiayue was so scared that she didn't have any face, and she couldn't do anything with them for a while, so she split up for a while.

If she doesn't take the initiative to find fault, Chen Xingling will naturally not take care of her.

Every day at work, at work, at school, at kindergarten, the days of warmth and happiness are simply repeated.

"Archie, hasn't Ah Yi called back again in the past few days?" While washing the dishes, Chen Xingling asked Gu Qi, who was sweeping the floor in the living room, "He's been back for almost a month, right?" ”

"Hmm." Gu Qi frowned and replied, "It's been more than three weeks." ”

Chen Xingling picked up a scarf to wipe his hands, and the fox asked, "I don't know if something will happen?" Why don't you send a telegram back to your hometown and ask? ”

Gu Qi nodded: "I'll take an hour off tomorrow to run to the telegraph office." The day before yesterday, Director Guo asked Gu Yi why he hadn't come to report for work, and I said that the materials were almost there, and they should be available in the near future. There's no news at all, and I don't know what's going on. Ayi, he did this terrible thing, and I don't even know what to say about him. ”

"Don't worry." Chen Xingling whispered: "Stabilize here first, and then wait patiently for a few more days." ”

Gu Qi said: "It's been a few days since the last remittance, and I don't know if he has received it." I don't even know what he's up to, he doesn't contact us, and people don't come back—that's bad! ”

Chen Xingling intuitively felt that there would be no good news, and he was secretly worried.

"Wait and see, maybe he'll be here the day after tomorrow."

At this time, Xiaohuzi ran over sweating profusely, disgusted and pulled the sweater vest on his body.

"Mom! I don't want this! It's so hot, it's hot! ”

Spring in Yucheng comes early and quickly. In the second month of the lunar calendar, only a thin shirt and thin jacket are generally needed, and children can at most have a thick shirt and thin sweater.

Xiaohuzi is an active age, loves to move, sweat and make trouble, even if he only wears a small vest, he always shouts hot.

Chen Xingling shook his head: "No, you sit down and stay for a while, maybe go to the balcony to blow the wind, and it will cool down soon." ”

You must not be careless in such weather, and if you take off your clothes, you will soon feel cold, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will catch a cold and get sick.

She is a native of Yucheng and knows the weather here well, so she controls it more accurately when she takes care of her children. In such weather, children must wear an extra vest, otherwise they will catch a cold and runny nose for a while.

Xiaohuzi was very depressed and yelled that he wanted to go downstairs to play.

Chen Xingling looked at the sky and found that it was already a little late.

"It's getting dark, you can't go downstairs alone."

Gu Qi smiled slightly and said, "You go down to play with him for a while, and then go upstairs to take a bath." Go ahead, I'll mop the floor and nothing else. ”

"Okay." Chen Xingling said happily: "If you encounter something delicious, you will definitely buy it to reward you." ”

Gu Qi chuckled, buried his head and continued to sweep the floor.

The footsteps of the mother and son were far away, and he took the garbage out of the door and emptied it into the small trash can outside the door.

"Archie! Archie! ”

- It was Chen Xingling's anxious call!

Gu Qi was startled, threw away the iron dustpan in his hand, and rushed to the staircase to look.

"Daddy! Father! ”

- Little Tiger is also shouting nervously!

Gu Qi didn't care about anything else, his long legs quickly ran down, quickly ran to the first floor, and rushed out of the door of the stairwell.

Suddenly, he stopped!

I saw Gu Yi covered in dirt, his hair was messy, he was holding a wooden cane under his arm, his left foot was cocked, and his right foot was standing, his face was pale and haggard, but the moment he understood him, he smiled happily.

"Big brother!"

Chen Xingling supported Gu Yi, while Xiaohuzi raised his little face as if he was looking at something.

"Daddy! Look at! There's an aunt! ”

Gu Qi raised his eyebrows in surprise, and found that there was a shy young girl standing behind his younger brother's side, wearing a floral cloth coat, combing two long black braids, and her face and body were dirty, and she couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

Could it be that this is my brother's sweetheart?

He actually brought the girl from the mountains with him??

Chen Xingling was stunned when he saw him, and hurriedly shouted: "Archie, Ah Yi said that his foot was sprained, which seems to be very serious. It was already dark, and I didn't know if there was anyone on duty in the infirmary. Why don't you help him upstairs to settle down first, see how the injury is, and then rush to the hospital. ”

Gu Qi quickly calmed down and stepped forward to help support his younger brother.

Gu Yi smiled embarrassedly and gestured to the girl behind him.

"Brother, sister-in-law, she-she's Xiaoxing. Xiao Xing's surname is 'Zhao', you can call her 'Xiao Zhao' or 'Xiao Xing'. ”

Zhao Xiaoxing came out and shouted timidly: "Brother Gu...... Sister-in-law Gu......"

Gu Qi frowned slightly, and bowed his head indifferently.

Chen Xingling warmly held Zhao Xiaoxing's hand and said with a smile: "Don't be restrained, since you're here, go upstairs and settle down first." ”

Zhao Xiaoxing was still very restrained, and let out a low "um".

Gu Qi helped his younger brother upstairs.

Chen Xingling and Zhao Xiaoxing followed.

Little Tiger was very excited and jumped up and down to keep up.

"Hello Auntie! Auntie, my name is 'Gu Yinmo', and I'm three years old this year! My nickname is 'Little Tiger', you can just call me 'Little Tiger'. ”

The little guy enthusiastically circled around the guests, and his happy and sweet voice made Zhao Xiaoxing smile, not as embarrassed as before, and followed Chen Xingling and them upstairs into the house.

Gu Qi poured hot water and asked the two of them to wash their faces and hands first.

Although his heart was full of question marks, he didn't rush to ask, turned around and poured two glasses of water.

Chen Xingling immediately ran to the kitchen to Zhang Luo, heated up the leftover shrimp tonight, fried a plate of green vegetables, and quietly took half a braised duck from the supermarket space, and scooped out the leftovers from the rice cooker.

Gu Qi will help sweep and mop the floor, but he doesn't know how to cook and doesn't know how to cook, so he usually cooks far away from the gentleman and rarely goes into the kitchen.

Fortunately, she took things out of the supermarket space every day to eat, and blindly said that she bought them outside, and some of them were made by herself, Gu Qi would only praise her for making them delicious, and never doubted anything.

Gu Yi and Zhao Xiaoxing obviously suffered a lot on the road, they were so hungry that they ate all the duck meat and shrimp, and even the last grain of rice was pulled clean, and asked Chen Xingling if there was anything else to eat.

Chen Xingling: "......"

So, she hurried into the kitchen and cooked four more packets of instant noodles that had been stored in the wooden cabinet for a long time.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yi and Zhao Xiaoxing were able to eat a large pot of instant noodles, and they didn't even let go of the last bit of soup, and they ate it cleanly.

Gu Qi: "......"

Chen Xingling: "......"

"No way." Gu Yi pulled an embarrassed smile and explained: "We don't have enough money, we only eat one steamed bun a day, we can only drink water desperately on the train, and our stomachs are already hungry." ”

Zhao Xiaoxing buried her head in shame, and she didn't dare to speak.

Xiaohuzi sat in the corner playing with blocks, engrossed in fiddling, and had a lot of fun alone.

Gu Qi quietly gave Chen Xingling a look.

Chen Xingling immediately came to his senses and gently patted the back of Zhao Xiaoxing's hand.

"Xiaoxing, are you tired too? We have an empty room with a small bed in it, and I'll take you there first, and then I'll find a futon to make for you to rest. ”

Zhao Xiaoxing let out a low "um" and followed Chen Xingling to the small room next door.

Gu Qi closed the door and looked at his younger brother with cold eyes.

"What's going on? Go ahead. ”
