Chen Xingling took a bag of hot pot base from the supermarket space, cut a few catties of beef, and took some vegetables.

The beef is poured with the base, simmered in water for more than an hour, and then the potatoes, vegetables, and shiitake mushrooms are thrown into the pot to cook.

Zhao Xiaoxing steamed a big pot of white rice, one bowl per person, and everyone ate around the cauldron.

Although the lunch was simple, everyone praised it one by one and said that it was delicious, the soup was thick and beefy, and the side dishes had a thick soup, which was more and more delicious and delicious.

Chen Jixing and Zhu Siya eat seafood every day, and occasionally have the opportunity to taste something else, and they are very happy to eat.

Even Gu Xuan, who is usually not picky about food, ate with a greasy mouth, and ate two large bowls of white rice.

Gu Qi and Gu Yijian saw that their sister ate fast and a lot, and they couldn't help but feel distressed.

The old mother is full of mahjong, and she is not home every day. Gu Xuan was troublesome and would just get some and eat it, and the family didn't know how long it had been since he had cooked a hot meal.

After lunch, Gu Qi took Chen Jixing and his wife to the yard for a walk and chat.

Chen Jixing couldn't help but ask: "I heard that you have to work overtime to draw, aren't you afraid of being noisy by us?" ”

"Don't be afraid." Gu Qi smiled: "Usually in the office, people come and go, and I can't be quiet, I am used to concentrating on my work, and I can concentrate on the outside world." ”

"It's not easy!" Chen Jixing explained to his lover beside him: "Archie has to take more than a dozen students, and he has to go on business trips from time to time, and he is usually very busy. ”

Zhu Siya chuckled: "Those who can work harder!" ”

Xiaohuzi jumped over and interjected: "Fourth aunt, my father can do a lot of machinery!" There was a big ship in the shipyard, as tall as a mountain, and Dad said it would take at least a year to finish! ”

Zhu Siya rubbed the little guy's head and said with a smile: "You really look like your father!" However, the temperament is more like a mother. ”

Chen Jixing echoed: "Yes! Temperament is more like a little sister! Don't look like a little sister anymore, like she is not good-looking enough. ”

"Shh Zhu Siya was coquettish: "What nonsense are you talking about!" Be careful that Ling Ling hears and scolds you! ”

Chen Jixing laughed: "What are you afraid of!" I'm telling the truth! Archie looks so good, it's a pity not to be like him! Fortunately, my little tiger will be the president, and they are the best places to pick his parents! Good looking, smart, and good personality! This is a collection of two directors! ”

Gu Qi was amused by him, and looked at his son with soft eyes.

"His temperament is indeed more like Xing'er, confident and cheerful, and he is very good at making friends...... Much better than me. ”

Since Xing'er and his son came to his side, students and apprentices have said that he is much warmer than before, not like before.

In fact, he has very few friends around him, and there are only a few apprentices and Brother Liu who are close to him.

Xing'er's personality is diametrically opposed to him, she is confident and sunny, generous and bold, whether it is relatives or friends around her, she can get along well.

At this point, he is really ashamed of himself.

He was very pleased that his son could have such a good temperament as her.

He is a lonely person, and there is a sister at home who has a cold and paralyzed face all day long, but he can't have another son with a cold face, no more.

Chen Xingling asked Gu Yixiao and his wife to clean up the dishes, and took Gu Xuan to the study by himself.

"This is the key point of my review that I have copied and written down over the years, you can read more when you have time, and pick some of the most important ones to memorize, I believe it will help you."

Gu Xuan took it and opened it, and was quickly attracted by the things on the paper, looking at it page after page.

Chen Xingling took a notebook and two pens that he didn't need and gave them to her.

Gu Xuan didn't dare to take it and explained: "Sister-in-law, these review materials are all summarized by your hard work, I like them very much." I can't ask for these pens and notebooks. You're going to school yourself, and you need to use it too. ”

"I bought a big box." Chen Xingling is rich and rude; "Archie and Ma Dali have both, these two are specially reserved for you."

Gu Xuan rolled his eyes in disbelief, and then reached out to take it.

"Okay then...... Thank you, sister-in-law. ”

Chen Xingling whispered: "Ah Xuan, your mother will have to come over for at least a few months, and it is very unsafe for you to live alone with a girl." Your eldest brother and second brother are not at ease. So your second brother and sister-in-law plan to move back in, and they can take care of you somewhat. What do you think? ”

Gu Xuan's brows furrowed slightly, and he shook his head: "No need, I will take care of my own safety." ”

Chen Xingling couldn't help but persuade: "You have to study again, and you have to do laundry, cooking, and cleaning, your second brother is worried that you will be too tired." In the past, when my mother-in-law was here, she could go to the cafeteria to get food and go upstairs. There are a lot of people in the cafeteria, and you don't like to go to crowded places. If you have a little apricot upstairs, you can have breakfast and lunch. You can still come here for dinner, and you can come after school. ”

“…… No need. Gu Xuan still shook his head: "I'm not familiar with my second sister-in-law." ”

She doesn't like strangers, especially people who don't know her in life. The second brother is barely okay, but the second sister-in-law can't.

She and her second sister-in-law couldn't say a few words from beginning to end, and she didn't want to live under the same roof with her every day, unless she had to live together.

The little couple lived well outside, and there was no need to move back at all.

Chen Xingling secretly smiled bitterly: "It doesn't matter if you are not familiar with it, if you have more contact, you will naturally become familiar with it." ”

Gu Xuan still refused: "No, I like to live alone." I love to be quiet and don't like other people to disturb me. ”

Forehead?

Chen Xingling's intuition was a little big, and he couldn't help asking, "Or-you move here to live with Xiaohuzi, right?" ”

"Nope." Gu Xuan refused again: "I like the room I have now, looking down from the window is the vast river, looking at it, the mood will be very calm." ”

Chen Xingling: "......"

She's too calm like this, okay? The young girl, with her face paralyzed and lifeless every day, would not speak unless she had to.

Even if this is true at home, you can imagine what it will be like at school.

Yesterday, she and Ma Dali went to visit Teacher Lin Ming for the New Year, and Teacher Lin smiled bitterly, saying that it was the first time she had met a girl with such a dull temperament.

It's not shy, it's not timid, it's indifferent, she takes care of herself to go to and from school, she reads books by herself, and even the teacher's questions or questions, she can ignore them.

At first, many teachers suspected that she was dumb, but it was not until she spoke later that she finally put away such doubts.

The grades are not top-notch, and the personality is also weird, which makes many students afraid to stay away. But she doesn't care, she can do whatever she wants, and she can make the collective life at school a one-man show.

Chen Xingling explained that she was born like this, and it was not caused by an accident.

Teacher Lin reminded with a wry smile, saying that with her extremely dull temperament, she should be very cautious when applying for majors in the future, otherwise she may not be able to work in the unit smoothly after graduation in the future.

Chen Xingling had no choice but to retreat: "Forget it, anyway, we all have to get up early in the morning, you come to eat every morning, and then bring lunch to school." Come over after school in the afternoon, and then go back to the first floor of Linjiang after eating. Over there is the factory, and there are security guards at the door, and the security is higher than renting outside. Also, there are neighbors upstairs and downstairs to the door, and if something happens, you shout. ”

The person who originally lived in the opposite door was Guo Jiayue, but it was actually a new house assigned to Liu Xinnian, the deputy director of the factory.

Later, the two of them divorced smoothly, and Guo Jiayue was demoted to an ordinary worker for snatching and abusing children. With her current position and seniority, she can't live in the best suite on the first floor of Linjiang at all.

Since she was demoted, Director Guo has ordered her to move to the staff dormitory.

Later, considering that her temper was too bad, living in a multi-person dormitory was easy to get into trouble with other people, which affected other colleagues. Director Guo quietly asked her to move to his old dormitory.

In the past, the factory prepared family housing for a group of old leaders in the dormitory area, with a small balcony in one hall and one room, which was not very big, but it was enough for Guo Jiayue to live alone.

After Guo Jiayue moved out, Liu Xinnian took a few colleagues to clean up the house, and then moved back to live.

He is a bachelor, he basically goes out in the morning and comes home at night, and eats all three meals in the cafeteria.

"Brother Liu is your brother's very good friend." Chen Xingling reminded: "If you are in trouble at home, or if there is something important, go to the opposite side and knock on the door immediately." ”

Gu Xuan nodded: "Okay." ”

Chen Xingling knew that she was not close to anyone, and it was not good to force her to accept Xiao Xing and them to move back, so she could only give up.
