The days are passing by, and Gu Yu has written more than half of his novel "The Martian". Deshan has also entered the Olympic venue to do the final exercises. Recently, she is very happy because she can eat milk and bread every day.
The days in the alley are still the same. The aunts pick vegetables, drink and chat on the benches in the public area every day. What they look forward to most is when the children are out of school.
Shanyu is always very close to his mother, saying caring words, helping to pick vegetables, or squeezing her legs or rubbing her shoulders.
Yihua enthusiastically inquired about Gu Yu's study and life every day, caring about this and that, with maternal love overflowing in her eyes. Gu Yu always chatted with her and made some jokes from time to time to make her happy.
Luo Meilan was envious every time, but her son Zhenghuan still looked unfriendly and would only say hello briefly, not even saying a word.
Alas, whether it’s my biological son or my godson, why can’t I share it with you?
"Are these dumplings enough for three families?" Ichika asked, looking at the dumplings that had filled three trays.
"There are so many, our father Sunwoo can eat them to his heart's content." Shanying sighed at the side, thinking of her deceased husband.
"It seems he likes eating dumplings very much."
"Dumplings come second, and the first is my other love, rice wine. He can drink a bottle of rice wine every day, and that doesn't cost much. Sister, please lend me 30,000 yuan first, and I will pay you back next month." .”
"Okay."
Shanyu's mother does not have a job, and the family of three can only live on his father's monthly pension, so life is very tight, and sometimes he has to make arrangements with neighbors.
"By the way, it looks like Shanyu's birthday is coming soon. Isn't it the same day as Deshan?"
Ichika clapped his chin, suddenly thinking, Shanying nodded.
"Did you both do it on the same day?" Luo Meilan also joked.
"Oh, sister, what are you talking about? Pearl is still here. Do you want to buy Shanyu a birthday gift?" Yihua was a little embarrassed, even though the child is so old.
"Yeah, what should I buy for him?" Shanying said a little distressed while wrapping dumplings.
"Yeah, what should I buy for my grown-up children?"
"For Zhenghuan, buy a pair of sneakers. They were robbed before." Shanying said.
After hearing this, Luo Meilan looked shocked, confused and scared, considering her own child.
"Don't you know? Zhenghuan's sneakers were stolen, eldest sister."
"Oh my God, when and by whom?" Ichika also just found out about this and was very surprised.
"Who else could it be? A little bastard."
"Oh my god! Something bad almost happened to us Zhenghuan! He wasn't hurt."
Ichika sat aside and asked with concern. Luo Meilan was still in shock. She didn't tell her anything about what happened to her son. She still learned about it from her neighbor.
"No one was injured. Gu Yu happened to be passing by at that time and beat the two gangsters away. He also got back the money that was robbed. Several children who forgot their shoes were also robbed."
"Oh my God! Gu Yu? Gu Yu is not injured, right? How can this kid fight with a gangster? Is he okay?"
Good guy, the replacement was scared now. When Ichika heard that there was something about Gu Yu, she quickly asked.
"It's okay. The children were afraid that you would worry, so they didn't say anything."
Ichika patted his heart and felt a little relieved. Luo Meilan's face was not very good. In addition to worry, she also felt a little disappointed and self-blame.
"Say Cao Cao, and the Cao Caos are here."
Shanying happened to be sitting in the direction where Gu Yu and the others were walking. Luo Meilan and Yihua also turned around. Luo Meilan lowered her head and looked at her son's shoes. It was indeed not the new pair of Jordans she bought before.
"Hello." Gu Yu and Zhenghuan greeted politely.
"Zhenghuan, Gu Yu, you must be very tired from studying. Go back and rest." Shanying said.
Zheng Huan came in after saying hello, while Gu Yu stopped and chatted with Yihua.
"Auntie, I'm eating dumplings today. They're so delicious. I want to eat a few more tonight."
Ichika dropped the unwrapped dumplings, stood up quickly, came to Gu Yu, and checked his whole body.
"Auntie, what happened?"
Gu Yu was a little at a loss at this moment. Looking at the worried look on Aunt Yihua's face, he asked doubtfully.
"You still ask me, how can you fight with a gangster? Fortunately, it's okay. Auntie knows that you want to help your friends. You can call the police and call someone. The gangster may have a knife on him. What if you have something wrong with you? What should I do? I am worthy of your parents."
As Ichika talked, tears came down. After this period of getting along, Ichika actually regarded Gu Yu as half a son.
"Auntie, it's my fault. I won't be able to do it anymore. Look, I'm fine. I used to practice fighting skills."
Gu Yu quickly comforted him and took out a tissue from his schoolbag and handed it to Ichika. Someone cared about him and he felt warm in his heart. Luo Meilan and Shanying also persuaded him. After a while, Ichika's mood calmed down.
"You can't fight with others anymore, you understand, Gu Yu." Ichika looked at Gu Yu seriously, wanting to get a positive answer.
"Yes, I understand. Auntie, do you still want to make dumplings? I can also make dumplings. Let me wash my hands and help you?"
"I don't need you. You're tired. Go back quickly."
Yihua persuaded Gu Yu to go home and rest, but she almost cried again when she looked at Gu Yu's back.
"You really treat Gu Yu as your own child. It's good. This child is sensible and knows how to be grateful. He will be very successful in the future." Luo Meilan handed Yihua another piece of paper.
"I hope the children are all safe and well."
Gu Yu returned home and continued writing literary novels. Donglong suddenly came to his door and invited him to dinner. His brother gave him some coupons for the restaurant where he worked.
"Gu Yu, you can't be so unloyal, right?"
Donglong had been stalking him for almost half an hour, and now he put on an expression of "I only have you". To be honest, Gu Yu was disgusted and had no other choice, so he went to talk to Aunt Yihua. He heard the sound and went out with Donglong.
Gu Yu's eyes were opened today. Steak with kimchi and rice was a perfect combination of Chinese and Western. Today's dinner at Deshan's house was fried chicken sent by the owner upstairs.
As the second daughter, Deshan was sad that she didn't get chicken drumsticks. Although she had gotten used to it over the years, she still felt sad.
The family was eating fried chicken and watching the news about the Olympic Games. When they saw the reporter interviewing the Soviet placard girl, Deshan proudly said that he would be interviewed tomorrow.
However, soon, because of Paula's ridicule, the two sisters struggled together again. The relationship between the sisters is so good. I wonder if Gu Yu will have a headache in the future.
However, the next day, Deshan, as the Miss Placard Holder from Madagascar, was informed in an interview with reporters that Madagascar announced its withdrawal from the Olympic Games.
For a moment, Deshan was filled with disappointment and sadness, but he still expressed his support for the Olympics appropriately. However, the suppressed emotions will always explode one day.
In the evening, the Deshan family and Gu Yu, a non-staff member of the family, sang happy birthday to Paula. There was a birthday cake on the table, as well as fried chicken, pork belly and other delicacies.
"Happy birthday to you~Happy birthday to you~Wish you dear Paula~Happy birthday to you~"
"Blow out, blow out the candles."
"Oh~~oh~~Happy birthday!"
Paula was also very happy. She adjusted her glasses and blew out her 21st birthday candles. Deshan was bitterly silent on the side.
After the eldest sister blew out the birthday candles, Yu Hui was about to cut the cake, but Cheng Dongyi held her hand.
"Wait a moment and pull out three of them. Gu Yu, wait a moment."
Cheng Dongyi smiled slightly awkwardly at Gu Yu, and then lit 18 candles again. Deshan looked at it all like a volcano before it erupted.
