Early the next morning, the sun shone in the yard of the two siblings, Gu Chen began to clean the yard early in the morning, and near the courtyard wall was a fence more than one meter wide made of red bricks, which was Gu Chen's small vegetable garden.

"Xiaoxiao, come to the yard to pick a few eggplants and green peppers," Gu Chen shouted to Gu Xiaoxiao in the living room.

Gu Xiaoxiao said happily: "Tomato and pepper are so cute, how can you eat it." Gu Chen glanced at her, as if he was looking at a mentally retarded person.

Gu Xiaoxiao also noticed that Gu Chen looked at him strangely, his mouth pursed, he snorted, and while walking towards the vegetable garden, he said in his mouth: "Pick it, pick it, what's the big deal."

When it was almost noon, the two brothers and sisters were busy in the kitchen, cutting vegetables for a while, stir-frying vegetables for a while, and then there was the sound of Gu Chen scolding Gu Xiaoxiao for treating vinegar as soy sauce, followed by the mutual accusation between the two brothers and sisters, which was a unique "warm" picture of Gu Chen's family.

The steaming meal was brought to the table by Gu Xiaoxiao, the two brothers and sisters sat on the stool without saying a word, Gu Xiaoxiao was also unusual, pouting, and propping up his chin on the table with both hands.

The two siblings were waiting for their father to return, and finally, in front of the gate of the black brick and green tile courtyard, a swarthy figure stood on the moss-stained steps.

There is already a little gray hair in his hair, his eyes are a little sunken, the lines of the years are crawling all over his forehead, and his body is a little rickety, which makes him, who is not tall, look even shorter, which is caused by perennial dry loading and unloading, and this person is Gu Chen's father Gu Tianlin.

As soon as Gu Chen was about to get up, Gu Xiaoxiao jumped up directly, strode towards Gu Tianlin, and shouted loudly: "Dad, Dad, I want to kill you!" This is also one of the few times when Gu Xiaoxiao looks like a little girl.

Then what made Gu Chen cry and laugh was that after Gu Xiaoxiao ran over and hugged Gu Tianlin, he naturally took the sugar gourd in his hand, and then feasted on it.

Gu Chen said to Gu Xiaoxiao's black face: "Gu Xiaoxiao, I think you want sugar gourd."

Gu Xiaoxiao didn't defend either, just made a mischievous face at Gu Chen, and then continued to eat the sugar gourd.

"Dad, I've said it several times, we're not children anymore, you don't have to bring us sugar gourds" Gu Chen said while pulling Gu Tianlin to sit on the stool.

Gu Tianlin smiled and waved his hand: "Don't you see Xiaoxiao like it very much!" ”。

Gu Xiaoxiao smiled and rushed to say: "It's still our dad who understands me, not like you."

Gu Chen was speechless for a while

……

The Gu family was filled with relaxed and happy laughter throughout noon, it was Gu Xiaoxiao who sang to Gu Tianlin in a serious way, Gu Chen repaired the TV last night.

Gu Chen's face darkened

……

The Gu family was also filled with this happy taste throughout the afternoon, and this was perhaps the most comfortable time for these two generations, who didn't want to earn money or live......

At night, the starlight falls on the purple eggplant leaves, and the hibiscus in the courtyard sings, and the heat of midsummer is destined to make the yard not deserted tonight.

Since there is no air conditioning at home, the three of them are all enjoying the shade under the hibiscus tree, Gu Tianlin is lying on the chair, Gu Chen is paralyzed under the tree, Gu Xiaoxiao is the second, and he doesn't know what kind of demon he is doing when he climbs on the tree.

"Xiaochen, tomorrow is your eighteenth birthday, you know, I have to leave tomorrow, I can't accompany you for your birthday, I have left an extra thousand yuan in addition to living expenses, tomorrow you and Xiaoxiao find a tour group to go out and have fun." Gu Tianlin said with a little guilt.

Gu Chen smiled at Gu Tianlin and said, "It's okay, Dad, it doesn't matter if this birthday is over, after all, our family is really difficult, and when I have the ability in the future, we will slowly make up for it."

The two have been in a stalemate for a long time, Gu Chen said that he didn't want to spend this thousand yuan, and finally Gu Tianlin didn't entangle with Gu Chen on the grounds that he was sleepy, and went back to the house to sleep directly.

When he looked at his father's back in the house, Gu Chen smiled wryly, he knew that his father must be very guilty and couldn't accompany him for his birthday, but he had no choice but to make up for it in this way, how could he not know his father's kindness, but how could he not know his father's suffering.

It didn't take long for Gu Chen to think about it, he fell asleep under the tree, and was still scolded and dragged back to the room by Gu Xiaoxiao.

After the matter was over, Gu Xiaoxiao's red little mouth was still muttering: "I must steal your sugar gourd tomorrow."
