When the banquet started in the evening, the family was sitting together happily again, and there was no trace of any unpleasantness that had happened.
There are mother and daughter Gu Changge and Gu Caiwei, and Gu Changning and Gu Changqing. Each family has three members, plus the old man and the old lady. There are exactly ten people, and a large round table is just right.
To say that the genes of the old man and the old lady of the Gu family are indeed great, not to mention the ancestral beauty of Gu Changge and Gu Caiwei, the two brothers Gu Changning can be regarded as handsome uncles.
Even the two little boys Gu Zixuan and Gu Ziyan are cute little girls.
If two aunts could marry into such a family, they would certainly not be mediocre-looking people.
If there are outsiders present, they will inevitably praise what a beautiful fairy family they are.
Gu Changge spoke first: "Mom, how hard it is for you to prepare such a large table of dishes. I said you can ask someone to take care of you, but you don't want it."
Parents did not obey the elderly, and the old lady still refused: "Your father and I are only a few years old, and we don't need anyone to take care of us."
"Besides, Changning and Changqing are both in Yuezhou. There is a climber at home. They are just a phone call away."
Gu Changning tried his best to act like a human being now: "Yes, sister, we will take care of you at home, parents, don't worry."
It's just because of you two that I'm worried.
Gu Changge knew very well what his two younger brothers were, not to mention they had just had a quarrel.
But she wasn't ready to make them stand down in front of her children, so she nodded and didn't bother to talk to her again.
For a while, no one spoke at the table except for the sounds of two aunts coaxing the children to feed them. It was a little deserted.
The old man planned to liven up the atmosphere and called Gu Caiwei's name: "Xiaowei, have you learned any new songs recently? Can you play one for everyone?"
Little Princess Gu Caiwei's piano music is a repertoire at family dinners.
She has changed out of the "good-looking outfit" she wore in class, and is now wearing a blue dress, with her long black and shiny hair let down.
She has a bit of a fair lady look.
Gu Caiwei smiled sheepishly: "Grandpa, I've been taking classes seriously recently and haven't learned any new songs, so I won't play them this time."
She and Gu Changge next to her looked at each other, and both of them smiled knowingly, thinking of Gu Changge's comment about her as a "three-legged cat" not long ago.
"It's good to go to class. At your age, you should study hard. Eat more of this to replenish your brain..."
But Gu Changqing said: "What kind of books does Xiaowei need to study for her appearance? She has completely concentrated the best genes of our Gu family, and is no worse than those big stars."
"Xiaowei, let me tell you, you must get enough sleep at night, otherwise it will affect your skin..."
Even his aunt couldn't stand listening and pushed him: "What nonsense are you talking about? Xiaowei is a top student in Linzhong. What else can she do if she doesn't go to school now?"
"Besides, how many big stars have you met?"
"Have I not been to Hengdian yet..."
The meal has been eaten half way through decent or inappropriate chatting, and Gu Changqing is picking his teeth with a toothpick.
Gu Changning winked at his wife.
The eldest aunt understood this, took out a small gift box from her bag, pushed it to Gu Caiwei with a smile and said:
"Xiaowei, this is the latest mobile phone released in the United States. It's called Apple 4."
"It was just released in China before the National Day. It's very popular. My aunt asked a friend to buy it. You can keep it for fun..."
"Oh, what's going on? This is what your aunt and I prepared."
Before Gu Caiwei could answer, Gu Changqing interrupted first, then turned to Gu Changning: "Brother, next time we have to discuss it in advance."
Gu Changning sat firmly on the Diaoyutai. Fortunately, he took it out first.
"What are you doing in a daze? Take it out quickly."
Seeing that his wife didn't respond, Gu Changqing urged her.
When my aunt heard this, she took out a small gift box with embarrassment. When giving gifts, she always took it out last, which was embarrassing.
Gu Caiwei raised her head and glanced at her mother. Gu Changge was not surprised that they could do such a thing. He nodded and said, "Uncle, just keep what my aunt gave you."
Gu Caiwei then smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, uncle, thank you, aunt."
…
The next day, Gu Changge's red Porsche was driving on the highway from Yuezhou to Lin'an.
"Mom, why are you back so early this time?" Gu Caiwei asked curiously.
Gu Changge didn't want to tell his daughter about his uncle's fault, so he found an excuse: "There's something going on here in Lin'an. I'll come back early to deal with it."
Fortunately, Gu Caiwei never cared about their "adult matters", so she didn't take it seriously.
"Mom, my uncle and uncle each gave me an iPhone 4. I can't use it either. Can I give you one?"
"I have a lot of things in my phone, as well as some important contact information. It's not convenient to change it now, so you can keep it for now."
Ms. Gu Changge was driving her car and said without looking back.
How about giving one to Lin Yi?
Gu Caiwei was sitting in the passenger seat and was startled by her sudden idea, but she quickly rejected it.
She had a feeling this wasn't a good idea.
In fact, when the cram school ended, she wanted to ask Lin Yi, but she didn't know how to ask.
In order to facilitate contact with me, why don't you buy a mobile phone?
It sounds strange.
Although Lin Yi often slanders her as a "not very smart Yazi", which actually means that she is not good at generalizing, her feelings are very keen.
Gu Caiwei immediately remembered that when she blurted out that she wanted to invite Lin Yi to dinner during the summer vacation, he said "it's not polite" and "someone will feel sad".
She seemed to have seen that if she really gave it away, she would be accused of being "not polite" by Lin Yi in a preaching tone.
She thought of her mother, glanced secretly, and asked casually, "Mom, what do you think of giving it to Jiaqi?"
Gu Changge didn't think too much and made a suggestion: "Why don't I give it to you? If you give it to her, she may not want it."
This is what I want to ask.
Gu Caiwei then said: "Why wouldn't she want it if I gave it to her, but she would want it if you gave it to me?"
My own daughter, Gu Changge, is very patient.
"Although you and Jiaqi are very good friends, this mobile phone is not cheap. How could she accept an expensive gift from you for no reason?"
"This is not the way friends interact, and her tutor doesn't allow it."
"What I gave her was different. I'm an elder, so it's hard for her to refuse, and Jiaqi...has always respected me."
She felt that using the word "fear" was a bit inappropriate.
Gu Caiwei nodded, as if she had some understanding, but she hadn't figured out a way yet.
Should I ask my mother to give it to Lin Yi?
She didn't know why, but a word came to her mind called "throw yourself into a trap".
"Then...if I still want to give it to myself, how can I get her to accept it?"
This time, Gu Changge turned his head and glanced at his daughter: "Then you should choose a good time to give it to her, such as her birthday."
"It's my birthday..." Gu Caiwei's thoughts drifted away again.
