Chapter 45: You're in Too Much Control

Xia Youzhi turned around and saw the tanned and thin Xia Guomin.

Tears welled up in his eyes.

She hadn't seen her dad in almost thirty years.

"Dad." Xia Youzhi choked up.

When Xia Guomin saw Xia Youzhi's tears, he was a little anxious and wanted to run forward.

But his feet were a little lame, and as soon as he ran like this, his body fell straight forward.

"Dad!"

Xia Youzhi screamed in horror when he saw Xia Guomin who was about to fall.

The expected pain did not come, and the powerful bronze hand that had been firmly holding Xia Guomin.

"Third brother, you slow down." Gu Tingshen said helplessly.

The crowd behind was also taken aback.

"Dad, are you alright?"

Xia Youzhi hurriedly stepped forward and supported Xia Guozhong.

"It's okay, dad is fine." Xia Guozhong hurriedly said.

"Third uncle, haven't you seen the young for too long, I see you so excited." Zhang Zheng joked.

Xia Guozhong was a little embarrassed, he was anxious when he saw his daughter crying just now.

"Dad, I won't let you work anymore, it's too dangerous here, you come home with me." Xia You's heart said with palpitations.

The construction site is so messy, if her father has this situation again, not to mention that he falls with a blue nose and swollen face, if he falls when he touches the steel bars on the ground or works at height, what can he do?

The more Xia Youzhi thought about it, the more scared he became.

"It's okay, dad is fine." Xia Guomin hurriedly comforted his daughter.

"Alright, let's go sit down first."

Gu Tingshen saw Xia Youzhi with a worried face, so he could only change the topic.

At the beginning, he didn't approve of Xia Guomin coming to work on the construction site.

It's just that his old man strongly requested, and the Xia family is indeed too poor, and the third brother wants to sell blood, so he really can't help it, so he took the risk to get it.

When he came to the construction site, he could only show favoritism and try to arrange some light work without climbing up and down.

"Brother Zheng, this is what Uncle Zhang asked me to bring to you, Brother Guodong, this is what Grandpa Gu asked me to bring to you."

Helping Xia Guomin to the bed and sitting down, Xia Youzhi took out the two of them from his luggage.

Zhang Zheng and Liu Guodong were very excited.

When a wanderer is away, the most exciting thing is the love from his relatives in his hometown.

Especially Liu Guodong, he didn't expect someone to bring him something.

Xia Youzhi secretly glanced at Gu Tingshen, and didn't see Gu Tingshen's disappointed expression, so he put his mind at ease.

In fact, Gu Ting deeply knew that his old man was just pitiful Liu Guodong.

"Brother Shen, you see Uncle Gu brought it to me."

Liu Guodong happily held up two bags of candy.

Although he is not a big man who doesn't like candy, but thinking of someone caring about him, Liu Guodong's heart is warm.

Gu Tingshen nodded.

The old man of his family probably bought it temporarily, and he had never seen such a thing at home.

Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang brought Zhang Zheng two bottles of pickled chili peppers and a few packets of biscuits.

The biscuits are estimated to be the old Uncle Zhang's cooking, and the host family gave them back, so he was not willing to eat them.

It is also printed with the word "happy in red".

Xia Youzhi took out the things he brought.

A jar of pickled sauerkraut prepared by her mother said that her father liked to eat it the most.

She also brought two catties of braised pork knuckle and two catties of fat sausages.

This time she brought the marinade, if she soaked it, this weather, there should be no problem to eat until noon tomorrow.

"Dad, this is specially prepared for you by Mom." Xia Youzhi said with a smile.

Xia Guomin took it, and when he thought of his wife, he was also very moved.

"Hey, where's my brother?"

Xia Youzhi realized that Xia Qingbo was not there.

"He's got one last bit of work on his hands, and he'll come down when he's done." Gu Tingshen explained.

"Sister."

As soon as Gu Tingshen finished speaking, Xia Qingbo's excited figure appeared at the door.

He trotted all the way over, and he was a little excited.

"Brother." Xia Youzhi screamed sweetly.

"Why are you here? Are you tired? Is something happening at home? ”

Xia Qingbo's series of questions made Xia Youzhi laugh out loud.

"Brother, I'm not tired, my family is fine, nothing is wrong, I'm here because your admission letter has come down, I'll tell you." Xia Youzhi playfully replied.

"Yes...... Which school is it? ”

Xia Qingbo was a little apprehensive, although he knew that it was Kyoto University, but he was still a little panicked in his heart.

"Kyoto University." Xia Youzhi replied with a smile.

"Kyoto University?" Xia Guomin looked at Xia Youzhi in surprise.

Xia Youzhi nodded, a little crying and laughing, "Dad, you won't always know that my brother is going to Kyoto University, right?" ”

Xia Guomin shook his head.

He really didn't know, he knew that his son would definitely be able to get into college.

Last time, when the scores came out, he was afraid that his eldest son would be under pressure, so he didn't ask, but he knew that it was okay for his son to go to college.

Later, Xia Qingbo returned to the construction site, and he didn't tell him which school he was applying for, and he wouldn't ask.

"Brother, you're too good at hiding it." Xia Youzhi couldn't cry or laugh.

Xia Qingbo smiled and did not refute.

Before it was finally decided, he didn't want to say it, for fear that the final result would be disappointed.

"You kid can, you were admitted to Kyoto University. This is not only the first college student in our village, but you are also the first college student in the entire Anmei Prefecture to attend Kyoto University. ”

Zhang Zheng hugged Xia Qingbo and pretended to strangle his neck.

"Yes, you kid can really do this secret work." Liu Guodong quipped, turning his head to look at Xia Guomin, "Third uncle, congratulations, this has to be celebrated, but unfortunately, you can't drink alcohol at the construction site." ”

Xia Youzhi happily pointed to the braised pork he brought, "I brought you some braised meat, it should be enough for you to eat openly, it can be regarded as a celebration for my brother." ”

When they heard the braised pork, several people's eyes lit up.

"Young girl, are you serious? Can you eat it open? Liu Guodong swallowed.

Xia Youzhi smiled and nodded.

It seems that this braised pork and fat sausage will not be left for tomorrow.

"I'm here this time to ask my brother for leave." Xia Youzhi looked at Gu Tingshen on the side.

"Leave?" Gu Ting was puzzled.

Xia Youzhi nodded, "The county TV station is going to come to the house for an interview, and Teacher Yan from the county No. 1 Middle School specially came to the house to talk about it, so my brother has to take a few days off to go back." ”

There was another expected exclamation.

"Now our Niujia Village is famous, Qingbo, you kid is going to be on TV now." Zhang Zheng said enviously.

"Brother Shen, we also have to ask for leave, can we go on TV with Qingbo." Liu Guodong said with a smile.

Gu Ting glanced at the two living treasures at a deep angle, "Do you want to give you a holiday all the time?" ”

The two of them quickly shook their heads.

"Then why don't you hurry up and get back to work?" Gu Tingshen said angrily.

The two reluctantly returned to the construction site.

Before leaving the room, he repeatedly told them to leave some braised meat.

It's so funny that Xia Youzhi is very funny.

After Zhang Zheng and Liu Guodong left, Gu Tingshen said to Xia Guozhong, "Third brother, you should also ask for leave and go back." ”

"How can this work, I've been working on it lately."

Although Xia Guozhong was a little moved, he didn't want to make Gu Ting deeply embarrassed.

"It's okay, please come back for three days, and then you can rush back." Gu Tingshen said.

Facing Xia Youzhi, who was looking at him expectantly, Gu Tingshen just wanted to fulfill all her wishes.

"That's okay, I'll thank Uncle Gu for my brother and my dad."

Xia Youzhi saw that Xia Guozhong was still entangled, so he hurriedly answered.

"At this point, there is no car back to the county, where are you staying tonight?" Gu Tingshen asked.

"I'm going to go back to the city and find a hotel to stay in, and I'll just go to the bus station to catch a ride in a while." Xia Youzhi replied.

"How can you do that, how dangerous you are alone." Xia Guomin worried.

He thought that he would pack his luggage today and follow Xia Youzhi to the city to find a place to live, but the construction site was confiscated for a while, and it was difficult for him to bring it up.

"Third brother, I just happened to go to the city today to find the boss to report to work, if you don't worry, I will take this girl back to the city in a while, open two rooms tonight, and help you watch this girl." Gu Tingshen said seriously.

"That's okay, look at how much it is, and then the two rooms will be ours." Xia Guomin nodded gratefully.

"You don't have much money, so you don't have to deal with me." Gu Tingshen waved his hand and said.

"I'm not going back with you, I still want to accompany my dad."

Xia Youzhi shook her head, there is still more than half an hour, and she still wants to get along with her father.

"Zhizhi, if you follow your Uncle Gu, you will be able to see your father tomorrow, so that your father can rest assured." Xia Guomin touched Xia Youzhi's hair and said with a smile.

Xia Qingbo's expression on the side was a little strange.

I wanted to say something, but in the end I didn't speak.

Although Uncle Gu is from the same village as them and has known each other since childhood, Uncle Gu is a man after all, and the young one has grown into a big girl.

This...... Is it appropriate?

He wanted to remind his dad that he was coming, but he didn't know how to speak.

Thinking of the scene where Gu Tingshen and Xia Youzhi walked side by side in front of him the last time he came to the city, Xia Qingbo's weirdness came out again.

How did he feel that Uncle Gu was weird to his sister.

In the end, Xia Youzhi was still sent to Gu Tingshen's car by Xia Guomin.

Seeing Xia Youzhi with an unhappy face on the co-pilot, Gu Tingshen was amused.

"Won't we see you tomorrow?"

"I said I could just take the bus, you have to pull me out." Xia Youzhi said angrily.

"That bus is so bumpy, and you're pampered." Gu Tingshen turned his head and glanced at the unhappy little girl.

Xia Youzhi was really different from when he first met him.

The cold face and the mouth that could tear people apart were all impressive to him.

But now it's pretty good.

Such a relaxation, Xia Youzhi himself did not notice.

Xia Youzhi ignored Gu Tingshen's words, she was just unhappy.

"I'll go report to the boss in a moment, and you'll stay in the car." Gu Tingshen admonished.

"Gu Tingshen, you are just my uncle, not my father, why do you care about me so much." Xia Youzhi rolled his eyes directly.

She had something to do later, how could she sit obediently in the car and wait for him.

"If you stay, you will stay, and you will not be allowed to go anywhere." Gu Tingshen frowned.

"I'll have something to do in a moment." Xia Youzhi said angrily.

She wanted to disappear directly, but she was afraid that Gu Tingshen would not be able to find her, so what should she do if she called the police?

"What's the matter?"

"What do I need to tell you?" Xia Youzhi sneered.

"Heh, you're quite skilled in turning your face and not recognizing people, when you just asked your dad for leave, you looked at me with a pitiful face, and now you don't need me, just this attitude?" Gu Ting smiled deeply.

"Oh, that's my attitude." Xia Youzhi said unabashedly, "But for the sake of you helping me just now, I'll tell you, I'm going to find a classmate in a while, and I asked him to do a favor last time, don't ask me if I'm a male classmate or a female classmate, what kind of help I helped, I won't answer you." ”

Gu Ting choked deeply.

He still wanted to ask.

"Then you will return to the Phoenix Hotel at seven o'clock."
