It was busy until half past nine, and the number of customers in the small restaurant slowly decreased.
Father Gu cooked a few dishes and found a free table, where the family sat down to eat.
That's what catering is like, you can't eat according to normal meals at all.
"Come on! Xiaoxiao, eat quickly!"
Although Gu's mother didn't like Su Xiaoxiao very much, she was a guest.
People are still here to "help", and even if they are always being unhelpful, out of politeness, they still have to show some courtesy.
Gu's mother used serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of chicken leg meat for Su Xiaoxiao, and greeted her not enthusiastically but not rudely.
"Um!"
Su Xiaoxiao actually wanted to leave. Sitting at the same table as Gu Qingcheng, she felt even more inferior.
However, it was already so late and it was definitely not safe for her to go home alone as a girl.
Gu Sinian will definitely send her home.
But no matter how much Su Xiaoxiao didn't regard herself as an outsider, she couldn't let Gu Sinian send her off hungry.
Therefore, in many cases, Su Xiaoxiao knows etiquette and understands the truth.
The key point is whether she is willing to "put her heart into it".
Today, it seems that it is not suitable for willfulness.
Su Xiaoxiao could only lower his head and hold the bowl, looking timid.
Gu Sinian has indeed become more sober, but after all he is a kind and upright young man.
As for Su Xiaoxiao, she is reckless and even a little stupid.
Her nature shouldn't be bad.
At best, they are doing bad things with good intentions.
In addition, the two of them have been classmates for several years and are friends.
Seeing her so cowardly and uncomfortable, Gu Sinian still felt a little pity.
He smiled at Su Xiaoxiao and said softly, "Eat quickly! When you're done eating, I'll take you home!"
"Um!"
This response was obviously a little more confident.
Su Xiaoxiao seemed to draw strength from Gu Sinian.
If it were in the past, seeing Su Xiaoxiao relying on him so much, Gu Sinian would have become extremely "macho" and have the urge to be Su Xiaoxiao's protector.
However, just now, Gu Sinian experienced another "tragic comparison" and saw certain facts clearly, and he was no longer so "superior".
He turned his eyes away and began to eat.
Su Xiaoxiao also lowered her head and continued to cook without saying a word.
This pair of boys and girls are surprisingly consistent.
Gu Qingcheng smiled and said jokingly, "You two actually agreed with the phrase 'childhood sweethearts'."
Su Xiaoxiao raised her head suddenly, as if she was frightened.
Su Xiaoxiao's delicate face showed obvious resistance: I am a good student, I, I don't engage in puppy love.
"Actually, it's okay even if it's puppy love! As long as you don't delay your studies and fall in love, it's okay."
Gu Qingcheng said with a smile, as if he was joking but also serious.
She also turned her head and said to Father Gu and Mother Gu, "Dad! Mom! Am I right?"
Gu’s father and mother are both enlightened parents who respect their children.
Although they do not approve of children falling in love early, they are more willing to believe in children.
Moreover, with only ten days left before the college entrance examination, they are even more afraid to "act rashly".
If it arouses the child's rebellious psychology and affects the exam, it will be too late for the parents to regret it!
"right!"
Father Gu laughed and said something vaguely.
"Yeah! As long as it doesn't affect learning and there is healthy mutual help, we parents will naturally not object!"
Gu's mother thought more than Gu's father, so when she spoke, she brought a few reminders.
Su Xiaoxiao's face instantly turned pale, and she shook her head hurriedly, "No! No puppy love! Classmate Gu and I are just ordinary friends!"
Tall, good-looking, and excellent in studies, Gu Sinian is the perfect middle school boy.
As a girl, Su Xiaoxiao naturally likes to dream, and she regards Gu Sinian as the Prince Charming in her dream.
But now is really not the time for puppy love.
She still has to go to college, and she can't be the target of everyone's advice in school.
Gu Sinian clenched his chopsticks tightly.
Haha, I seem to be being sentimental.
normal friend?
Ordinary friends would come to his house every day to report?
Ordinary friends would hook up with him and try to flirt with him?
Ordinary friends would rely on him and always look at him with focused eyes?
Gu Sinian studied a lot, and there were also classmates in school who were secretly in love.
And Su Xiaoxiao's behavior towards Gu Sinian is similar to those boys and girls who fall in love early!
It was also because of Su Xiaoxiao's initiative and enthusiasm that Gu Sinian slowly opened his heart.
As a result, he was moved, but others still regarded him as a normal person, a friend, and a friend!
good! What a normal friend!
Gu Sinian had a clear mind and became more and more sober and rational!
The next day, he went to school and asked for leave.
As the college entrance examination approaches, some students go home to prepare for the exam.
Gu Sinian has always been the first in his grade, and the teacher is very confident about him.
"Okay! Then you can review at home. If anything happens at school, the teacher will call you!"
After a few words of advice from the head teacher, Gu Sinian was granted leave.
At noon, Gu Sinian moved his books, papers, homework, etc. back home.
After school in the afternoon, Su Xiaoxiao looked at the empty desk in the back row in a daze.
She carefully talked to Gu Sinian's deskmate.
"Gu Sinian, he took leave and went home! He said it would be better to study at home!"
"Hey, that's not right, Su Xiaoxiao, aren't you and Gu Sinian good friends? He asked for leave and didn't even tell you?"
No!
Su Xiaoxiao was filled with grief and anger.
But, on the surface, she still didn't show it.
She quickly shook her head, "No! Gu Sinian and I are classmates and ordinary friends!"
They are not good friends, let alone puppy love!
"Huh? That's right! We thought you were a couple."
The tall and strong athletic student had a look of surprise on his face.
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head faster, "No! They are not a couple! Don't talk nonsense!"
Don't dare to say nonsense. If the teacher finds out, the parents will definitely be invited.
She doesn't want to be scolded by her parents for having a puppy love!
"It seems that we can't ask Gu Sinian to make up lessons!"
Su Xiaoxiao returned to his seat full of thoughts.
She lay on the table and started looking around the classroom.
Then, her eyes fell on a fair-skinned boy wearing glasses—Wei Hao, the second eldest boy in the class.
Ever since he was in high school, he has been suppressed by Gu Sinian.
Although he is not as good as Gu Sinian, he can always be ranked second, and he is also a proper academic master.
"Student Wei, how do you solve this question?"
Su Xiaoxiao came to Wei Hao's desk with crooked eyebrows and a bright smile.
It's not very beautiful, but it has a unique freshness.
"...I, let me see!"
Wei Hao's face was a little red, and he quickly pushed up his glasses, trying to relieve the tension and excitement in his heart.
"Wow, classmate Wei Hao, you are so awesome. You can speak better than the teacher! I understood it right away!"
"Can I do the papers with you during evening self-study?"
Su Xiaoxiao smiled cutely, and Wei Hao nodded unconsciously, "Okay!"
…
June 7th is coming soon.
Gu Qingcheng took a leave of absence and came back to accompany his brother in the college entrance examination.
Gu's father and Gu's mother also temporarily handed over the small restaurant to Grandpa Gu's care, and the couple also joined the army of accompanying the exam.
Gu Sinian: ...There’s really no need to make such a big show of things.
His exam room was even in his own school, but the classroom was different.
Gu Sinian really wanted to treat the exam as school as usual.
Gu's father and mother disagreed, "My parents are all accompanying you. If we don't go, it will be like we don't value you!"
Their family does not favor girls over boys.
Two children, they have always had a bowl of water.
Gu Sinian: ...Actually, I prefer you to be partial!
However, no matter how much Gu Sinian refused, everyone in the Gu family still took action.
If Grandpa Gu hadn't been reluctant to make a day's profit in the small restaurant, he would have wanted to follow.
Grandma Gu said, "Don't worry, it will be the same if I go too! Just watch the hotel carefully."
A profit of several hundred yuan a day would have been enough to pay for her medicine for a month in the past.
Now that the family has money, they can't spend too much money.
While you can make money, save more. They don't dare to go to the hospital to avoid getting sick again!
Grandpa Gu: ...I also want to accompany my eldest grandson. The first grandpa of my in-laws, Lao Zhang, has already gone.
Gu Sinian had an even worse headache.
Maybe the Gu family's conditions have improved, and Gu's mother has also increased the subsidies for her parents.
Even her unsatisfactory brother, Gu's mother, gave him some help.
As a result, Gu's mother's family became "good in-laws", and they became more concerned about Gu Qingcheng and Gu Sinian.
"Hmph! Who said parents don't dislike their children? I think they are all snobbery!"
Gu's mother felt aggrieved and complained to Gu's father secretly.
Father Gu just smiled and did not agree——
The wife can dislike her mother's family, but he, as a husband, cannot say anything bad about his father-in-law's family.
Otherwise, the first one to jump up and fight with him will be his wife!
Father Gu is a kind-hearted man, and he is grateful for his wife's dedication and hard work after marrying him.
Therefore, Gu's father is also relatively filial to his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
The two old men gave their family property to their sons. When they fell ill and needed to pay hospital bills, they called their daughters.
I would definitely not be happy with a more serious son-in-law.
As for Father Gu, he felt aggrieved, but he still took the money.
In his words, "No matter how wrong your father-in-law and mother-in-law were, they raised you and sent you to a technical secondary school. When we got married, the two old people were not too embarrassed."
In the late 1980s, the bride price of 3,000 yuan was not low, but not too high either.
The mother-in-law also gave her a few pieces of furniture and returned three hundred yuan as a back-up payment, which somewhat gave her daughter some dignity.
Therefore, Gu's father felt that the mother-in-law did favor her son, but she did not really regard her daughter as a cash cow.
It is enough to show your filial piety and have a clear conscience.
Not to mention his wife's contribution to the family, just because she gave him two such outstanding children, Gu's father felt that he should treat his wife well.
My father-in-law's side is nothing more than Aiwujiwu.
Furthermore, even if subsidies were given in the past, they were limited. After all, their own lives are not well off.
Now that the Gu family's life is getting better, Father Gu won't feel too distressed if he shows more filial piety.
The relationship between the two families has become closer.
Uncle Zhang will also come to the small restaurant to help. Although it is not needed, it is still an attitude.
Today, Gu Sinian takes the college entrance examination, and the entire Zhang family is out in force.
Gu Sinian: ...It’s really not necessary!
PS: It’s Women’s Day, all sisters, happy holidays! mua~~
