Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife-Chapter 1706: All Acquaintances 6

While the two grandfathers were chatting, Wang Cuilan and Aunt Gu both came to the kitchen to help.

Dr. Gu pushed Wang Cuilan back, "Sister Cheng, you’ve come from afar, you must be tired. Sit down and rest well, take care of the children. Once the two grandfathers start talking, they won’t stop. We’ve got it covered in the kitchen, the three of us are enough. Meimei, you’re the oldest, so do take care of Granny Cheng and your little brother and sister who are visiting our home."

"Got it, Grandma!" Gu Mei replied crisply.

She looked plain, but from a young age, she had to resist the teachings of her birth mother who idolized her own brothers, while also taking care of a younger sister six years her junior. Naturally, she had developed skills in knowing when to advance and when to retreat, and sharp perception.

Gu Min looked at Ye Yan and the others, feeling a bit uneasy.

Fubao, being older than her brother and a girl, believed that girls could easily befriend each other. She got up from the sofa and approached them, "Sister Gu, Sister Gu, hello, I brought gifts for you!"

Two sets of comic books bought in the Capital, originally meant to amuse her brother during the trip.

Upon hearing from Feng Qingxue that the host family had two little sisters, she brought along the two new comic books.

As a result, she easily gained Gu Min’s friendship and was warmly greeted by Gu Mei.

Dr. Gu, Aunt Gu, and Feng Qingxue worked together, quickly finishing the dinner, mainly because the clay stove and wood fire were more than twice as fast as a coal stove.

Braised yellow croaker, steamed grouper, sweet and sour hairtail, boiled shrimp, seaweed shrimp soup, alongside a cucumber salad and scrambled eggs with tomatoes from before, totaling six dishes and one soup were set on the table, with steamed rice as the staple food.

Aunt Gu placed the bowls and chopsticks, saying, "There’s no time today; I’ll go buy meat tomorrow."

"I’ve already arranged two pounds of pork with Master Li, I’ll pick it up first thing tomorrow morning. I just got off the boat today, and I’ll be resting tomorrow too." Feng Qingxue worried that Aunt Gu would buy meat and fish to send over, hurriedly spoke up, "I’ve also ordered a chicken, if Chief Gu has time to come over and eat, he can drink with Uncle Cheng. Us women and kids don’t know how to drink."

Dr. Gu said, "Xiaoman, Xiaoxue is not an outsider, you don’t have to be overly polite."

Aunt Gu acknowledged and invited Feng Qingxue to sit down. Since Cheng Baoguo and Chief Gu were drinking, she only served soup and rice for her family members, and, seeing Lu Erxiong’s big rolling eyes fixed on the dining table, smiled, "Your name is Erxiong, right? Come on, let’s eat food and dishes first, Grandpa Cheng and Uncle Gu are drinking!"

"If big brother was here, it would be great, he loves eating fish." He couldn’t get any of the fish dishes; what a pity.

Aunt Gu was about to invite him to stay for a while when she saw Cousin Gu Qing and Shen Xiufen swaggering in from outside, holding palm fans, with Shen Xiufen’s eyes firmly fixed on the dining table.

Gu Qing, being accustomed to simplicity and honesty, looked quite embarrassed.

"What are you doing here?" Seeing such a son and daughter-in-law, Dr. Gu was instantly filled with anger.

Shen Xiufen grabbed Gu Min by the collar and pulled her away from her seat, sitting down herself, "Why can’t we come? Gu Qing is your son, your home is my home, why can’t I come to my own home? We are so poor we can’t even afford a bowl of seaweed soup, yet you make such a delicious meal without inviting us. How can you be like this?"

Brazenly shameless, and even blaming others first.
