Duan Mingjie must let his mother know his attitude.
The first time he refused clearly, and there will be a second time in the future.
"My wife is generous and always thinks of me. I can't do anything to disgrace her."
Gu Fulan pulled his lips, "I didn't think about it. Gu Zhiqing helped me. Let's express our gratitude. I didn't think so deeply."
"Mom, you must remember clearly from now on that except for you and my wife, I will not get close to any other woman. I can't bear to see my wife sad. Also, what Liu Yuyan said is not entirely wrong. "
Hearing this, Gu Fulan looked at him.
Duan Mingjie looked directly into her eyes, "Mom, without my wife, our family wouldn't be able to make so much money, and our family wouldn't be able to build such a good house."
Gu Fulan closed his eyes for a long time before saying, "I know, I know, I won't arrange for you to work for anyone anymore."
Duan Mingjie hummed, "Mom, just remember."
Gu Miaomiao, on her side, started cutting wheat after returning, and Duan Mingcheng followed soon after.
Gu Miaomiao wiped her tears when she felt Duan Mingcheng coming.
Duan Mingcheng walked over and said, "Gu Zhiqing, just rest, I'll help you."
Gu Miaomiao wiped her tears.
"It's okay, you can go back."
Duan Mingcheng had no experience coaxing women, and when there were problems in his previous marriage, he just argued. Zhang Xia rarely cried, so when he saw Gu Miaomiao crying, he was a little at a loss.
"Well, Gu Zhiqing, please stop crying."
Gu Miaomiao looked at Duan Mingcheng with red eyes, "Is Yaoyao angry with me?"
Duan Mingcheng was stunned.
This, what did he say?
"Yao Yao must be angry with me. Go back quickly and help me tell Yaoyao that I didn't mean it and tell her not to be angry with me."
Duan Mingcheng: "..."
Why did you let him spread the word?
He smiled and said against his will, "Gu Zhiqing, you may have misunderstood. My younger siblings have very good personalities and usually don't get angry."
Hearing this, Gu Miaomiao cried even harder, "It seems it's all my fault, it's my fault."
Duan Mingcheng opened his eyes wide, "No, no, that's not what I meant."
God, he had never seen such a battle before.
He said it was too much and made too many mistakes. He stretched out his hand to comfort her, but he didn't know what to say. He might as well go to work.
Gu Miaomiao, who was waiting for Duan Mingcheng to comfort her, turned around and saw him cutting wheat with his butt sticking out.
Gu Miaomiao: "..."
In the evening, the family sat in the yard to eat.
Since moving to their new home, they rarely eat indoors for fear of making the house dirty, and it's cooler outside.
Lu Yao asked, "How many days will it take for the wheat to be harvested?"
Duan Mingjie took a bite of the steamed bun and said, "It won't be used for two days."
As he said that, Duan Mingjie looked at Gu Fulan and said, "Mom, you should stop going to the fields starting tomorrow. There isn't much life in the fields. My second brother and I can just go."
Duan Mingcheng had food in his mouth, nodded and said vaguely, "Mom, don't go."
"I'll go there all morning tomorrow, and I won't go there anymore. I'll cook for you at home."
The Duan Mingjie brothers had no objection.
Lu Yao: "How's it going with Fourth Uncle?"
Duan Mingjie replied, "I looked at it when I came back. I guess a quarter of it has been cut. It will probably take another four or five days."
Lu Yao pursed her lips and said, "When our cuts are finished, you can go over and help them."
Duan Mingjie took an egg, peeled it, and put it in her bowl. "I'll go there the day after tomorrow and eat the egg."
Lu Yao smiled at him.
Duan Mingjie peeled another one for Gu Fulan and Duan Yanyan, and then threw an egg to Duan Zhiwei, "Peel it yourself."
Seeing Duan Zhiwei's curled expression, Lu Yao touched the top of his head lovingly.
"Aunt?"
Hearing the sound, the family looked towards the door.
It's Gu Miaomiao.
"Why is Gu Zhiqing here?"
Gu Fulan stood up and came to greet him.
Lu Yao calmly withdrew her gaze.
Gu Miaomiao came over with three eggs, "Aunt, I'm here to thank Comrade Duan Mingcheng. He did all my work. I'm embarrassed. We only have three eggs at home. Don't dislike it."
Gu Fulan glared at her, "Look at you, I asked my second son to help you, that's to thank you for helping me, and you brought us eggs. How difficult is it for a little girl like you to be outside? You can take the eggs back later, We can’t do this next time.”
Gu Miaomiao smiled and said, "I've brought them all. If Auntie doesn't accept them, she doesn't like me anymore."
Hearing this, Lu Yao laughed, and then heard her mother-in-law say "Ouch", "I really like you."
Gu Miaomiao smiled, "I also like Auntie very much. We both have the surname Gu. Going back hundreds of years, we might be from the same family."
Seeing that the two of them were familiar with each other, Lu Yao ate her meal slowly without even looking at her.
"Gu Zhiqing, have you eaten yet? Let's have some at our house."
With that said, Gu Fulan would not allow her to refuse, and turned to Duan Mingcheng and said, "Second brother, move the stool for Gu Zhiqing!"
Duan Mingcheng said oh.
Gu Fulan held Gu Miaomiao's hand, as close as mother and daughter, "Last time I told you to treat me to a meal but you didn't want to. Today we will have a meal together at home."
Duan Mingcheng placed the stool between Gu Fulan and Duan Yanyan.
Gu Fulan rolled his eyes, moved a stool and placed it between her and Duan Mingcheng, then smiled at Gu Miaomiao, "Gu Zhiqing, my Yanyan is still young, and I have to pick up food for her, so you can sit here."
Duan Yanyan blinked, "Grandma, I could eat by myself three years ago."
Gu Fulan: "......"
Lu Yao lowered her head, bit her chopsticks, and tried her best to hold back her laughter, but she couldn't help it, and her shoulders trembled with laughter.
Gu Fulan looked a little confused and said to Gu Miaomiao, "Gu Zhiqing, what about that? Why don't you sit here?"
Gu Miaomiao smiled and said, "I will sit wherever my aunt tells me to sit. I will sit here. Yanyan is still young and we are not familiar with each other. If I sit next to her, it might affect her."
Duan Yanyan bit her lip, why are you talking about her?
Gu Fulan had a smile on her face, "That's what I mean, sit down quickly, sit down quickly."
Gu Miaomiao sat down and raised her head to meet Lu Yao's smile, "Yao Yao."
Lu Yao hummed, "Gu Zhiqing, see what you want to eat. If you don't have it, you can ask my second brother to buy it for you."
Gu Miaomiao: "It's great to be able to eat white flour buns."
Gu Fulan glanced at Duan Mingcheng and said, "Bring Gu Zhiqing a steamed bun."
Duan Mingcheng was stunned for a moment, why did his mother always call him?
Lu Yao lowered her head and suppressed a smile.
Duan Mingjie turned to her side and asked, "Daughter-in-law, are you full?"
Lu Yao nodded, "I'm full."
Duan Mingjie put down his chopsticks and looked at Gu Fulan, "Mom, Yaoyao and I are full. I'll take her out to cool down."
Gu Fulan: "Okay, okay, go ahead."
Duan Mingjie pulled Lu Yao to stand up. Lu Yao smiled at Gu Miaomiao and said, "Gu Zhiqing, you guys are delicious."
Gu Miaomiao nodded with a smile.
Gu Fulan smiled at Gu Miaomiao and took the opportunity to say, "The men in our family dote on their wives, like my second wife. Even though his last wife teased him all day long, he didn't even touch her daughter-in-law. The third child loves his wife even more."
Gu Miaomiao nodded in agreement, "Auntie is still great. Each of the sons she gives birth to is better than the last. Marrying you will be an endless blessing."
Gu Fulan smiled so hard that his teeth couldn't even see his eyes, "Gu Zhiqing is really good at talking."
"Auntie, please call me Miao Miao from now on. That's what my family calls me."
Gu Fulan laughed even louder, "Okay, okay, Miao Miao sounds good."
Lu Yao: "..."
Duan Mingjie saw that his mother's eyes were glued to Gu Miaomiao, so he didn't bother them and pulled Lu Yao away.
After walking out of the door, Lu Yao finally couldn't hold back her laughter and asked, "Does my mother have a crush on Gu Miaomiao?"
"Yao Yao."
Gu Miaomiao's voice came from behind, and the smile on Lu Yao's face disappeared instantly.
