Chapter 86: Eighty-six can’t write two Gu_1

After all, he was the head of the family, and the force behind those words was truly significant.

Several people were already in the wrong, especially when compared to Gu Chenzi and his wife, their guilt intensified.

Now, having been reprimanded by their father, their faces turned a multitude of colors, a truly splendid sight.

Gu Zhigang and Liu Lizhen immediately looked a bit displeased, but although they were upset inside, they had nothing to say.

Gu He and Fan Xiaoli bowed their heads in silence, not wanting to catch the brunt of the old master’s anger at this time.

Hearing her husband getting angry,

Shen Cuizhi hurriedly interjected, "Let’s stop this, no more scolding, it’s New Year after all. Chenzi has finally come home after such a long time, we should all be united and harmonious as a family."

To tell the truth, she was also angry, but it was rare for Gu Chenzi to come home, and she wanted to have a good New Year.

Besides, the younger generation was watching.

At this moment, Xiao Tangtang saw that her grandfather was angry and looked at him with a smile.

"Grandpa, don’t be angry, let Tangtang feed you dumplings~"

The soft, mushy voice of the little girl completely extinguished any fire Gu Hang had been ready to light.

He had three sons and two grandsons, but oddly, whenever this little girl spoke up, all his anger seemed to vanish instantly.

Since he was young, he had always wanted a daughter, but his wife was too successful in giving him three sons, making him happy while also causing him worry.

Now, hearing Tangtang’s soft, glutinous voice, the wrinkles on his face relaxed considerably.

"Alright, the dumplings that Tangtang feeds me are the most delicious!"

Gu Hang smiled and then glanced at the others.

He spoke without good cheer, "Think about it yourselves. Today, Chenzi finally made it home, and for the sake of my granddaughter, I will say no more."

"Our Old Gu Family has always stood for unity among brothers and harmony within the family. I don’t care about your squabbles usually, but remember, whether it’s the three of you or the younger generation, you all bear the Gu surname! There will never be two Gus in a single stroke."

Seeing her grandfather still lecturing her two uncles, Tangtang knew her grandfather was still unhappy, and she stretched out her little hand clumsily yet earnestly, tiptoeing to pick up a dumpling.

Her round, innocent eyes gazed at Gu Hang.

"Grandpa, eat the dumplings. Grandma made them, they’re delicious!"

Hearing the milky voice of the little girl, Shen Cuizhi couldn’t be happier.

Look at this little granddaughter, truly a clever one.

She spoke lightly, "Enough, enough, talk less and stop fighting."

Gu Hang stared at the others and then grinned at Tangtang.

"Grandpa is full, Tangtang eat for yourself, eat more so you can grow as tall as these two brothers."

Shen Cuizhi was about to give her little granddaughter some meat when she looked down and noticed that several dishes were empty, only dumplings were left.

Normally these people were big dumpling eaters; her morning’s work wasn’t enough for their one meal!

Especially Gu Hang, who once ate fifty dumplings in one sitting, making her worry whenever she had to make dumplings.

Gu Zhigang and Gu He were even more so, known for their massive appetites.

Today, the surplus of dumplings was unexpected.

She curiously asked, "What’s the matter, are today’s dumplings too salty?"

This was usually a favorite, but today no one seemed interested.

She couldn’t figure it out, but truth be told, with Gu Chenzi’s dishes, the dumplings seemed bland by comparison.

Usually, everyone, adults and children alike, loved eating dumplings during New Year, but this year was different. With all the delicious dishes Gu Chenzi had made, their taste buds were overjoyed.

Although the dumplings were filled with meat, which they also enjoyed, they had had them many times before.

And compared to Gu Chenzi’s cooking, they just weren’t as appealing, so everyone went for the other dishes, naturally leaving many dumplings behind.

Hearing her say this, Gu He smiled bashfully, "Mom, it’s all thanks to Chenzi’s great cooking skills."

Fan Xiaoli hurriedly chimed in, "Exactly, Chenzi’s skills are indeed impressive, my sister-in-law is really fortunate."

With such a chef around, what couldn’t you wish to eat?

It really was bliss.

Her heart was filled with envy.

Gu Chenzi, alone, quietly ate the dumplings from beginning to end.

The taste of a mother’s cooking is probably the sweetest in everyone’s heart.

It was the same for Gu Chenzi.

Not to mention anything else, having lived two lifetimes, he had eaten plenty of dumplings in the city, but no matter whether it was from a restaurant or elsewhere, none could match the flavor from his own mother’s hands.

Shen Cuizhi saw her son still burying his head in eating dumplings and couldn’t help nagging, "You can’t eat any more, look, your plate is empty, you’ll be stuffed if you keep going."

No matter if their child is twenty or fifty, mothers always see them as their children, and can’t help but worry and nag.

Gu Chenzi laughed, "I just think these dumplings are delicious."

Shen Cuizhi looked at Gu Chenzi and felt an ache in her heart.

She knew, this child, he was missing his mother.

"If you want to eat them, mom will make them for you every day!"

Now this stirred discomfort in several others, but no one dared to speak out. What could their discomfort do? Who could blame Gu Chenzi for being successful!

No wonder the mother doted on him, who wouldn’t want their child to be successful.

Ji Pianran, however, didn’t seem to mind, though she too had eaten quite a bit.

A harmonious and joyful family gathering was precisely the happiness she sought.

In the past when Gu Chenzi wasn’t at home, she didn’t dare to come back, fearing her in-laws would not accept her.

Now the family was together, able to celebrate a reunion, she was extremely happy.

Gu Zhigang wiped his face, feeling somewhat guilty.

After all, he was the eldest, yet in comparison to Gu Chenzi, he felt utterly inadequate, always worrying about his parents taking care of Gu Chenzi’s child, but the couple didn’t need it at all.

This was probably what they called capability in life, those who are capable thrive no matter what, always living a happy life.

He, on the other hand, lacked capability and spent his days fretting over this and that.

His mother had three sons, yet he always thought about getting more help from his mom without wanting to give anything in return.

He clenched his teeth and spoke up, "Dad, I wasn’t good before, Chenzi and I are blood brothers after all. You and mom can rest assured, your sons won’t let you down."

Although Gu He might be a bit slow-witted and slow to react, it didn’t mean he was a fool, did it?

Now he also had his own thoughts.

Gu Chenzi, his own younger brother, had made a fortune selling vegetables, earning money!

Earning lots of money!

If he just helped him out a bit, wouldn’t it be like earning pots and pots of gold?

And as the saying goes, ’Why let water flow into others’ fields?’ If Gu Chenzi needed help, he would absolutely not shirk the responsibility and would be full of initiative.

"That’s right, Dad, rest assured, it won’t happen again," Gu He said, then shot a glare at his wife. This useless woman, why was she butting in?

If Ji Pianran had truly intended to get mom to come over and take care of the kid, that would have been great.

But now, upon comparison, he felt like he was neither here nor there.
