Chapter 103
He Is Warmer Than Time
103 Big brother has always been repaying a debt of gratitude
When they arrived at her second auntâs house, the dishes were almost done. Song ran then remembered to ask Gu jinghang, â âWhereâs your brother? I havenât seen him for a day.â
he started school today. Heâs staying in the dormitory and left early in the morning.
Song ran nodded her head in confusion. oh my, now that I think about it, heâs the same age as me. Heâs 18. Look at you. Youâre an old cow whoâs gnawing on young grass.
Gu jinghang glanced at her. you silly girl. Is that how you describe me? â
Song ran giggled. isnât it just like an old cow gnawing on young grass? â
As the two of them chatted and laughed, the meal was already served.
Gu Weiguoâs family sat around the table. The second aunt wanted guoying to sit next to Gu jinghang, but song ran stuck to her so tightly that ding guoying could not get in.
The second aunt rolled her eyes at song ran and began to reminisce about the past, â Aiya, thinking back to the past, when jinghang was just born, guixiang, you didnât have any milk. At that time, you were so poor that you really didnât have anything for the child to eat other than milk. Fortunately, I had just given birth to guoying at that time and had enough milk. That was how the babyâs life was saved.
Song ran pouted and did not say anything.
Wu guixiang replied, â thatâs right. Without second aunt, jinghang would have lost his little life. I will definitely make jinghang take good care of you in the future.
Doudou took advantage of the childâs innocent words and said, â âBig brother works for the second auntâs family every year. Big brother has been doing farm work for the second auntâs family since he was twelve years old. Big brother has always been repaying the second auntâs kindness.â
Gu jinghangâs eyes drooped slightly and the corners of his lips curled up.âGood girl, I didnât dote on you for nothing.â
Wu guixiang and the second aunt looked upset. Gu Weiguo raised his chopsticks. alright, letâs eat. Eat more and talk less.
An city was located in the North. The people here were big and had a huge appetite. The bowls that were served were huge and the dishes were not meticulously prepared. It was obvious that they did not have any appetite. Song ran ate the steamed bun in the bowl bit by bit. She almost frowned when she swallowed the food that Gu jinghang put in her bowl.
The dish was too salty and did not taste good, but she did not dare to spit it out. If she said that it did not taste good, she did not know how Gu jinghangâs mother and the second aunt would make a mountain out of a molehill. She forced herself to swallow slowly.
Even so, Wu guixiang was still not satisfied. She snorted, â âGirl, why are you eating like a cat? youâre stuffing your mouth little by little. Do you think the food in our village doesnât taste good?â
Song ran quickly shook her head. no, itâs not that. I had a lot of dates this afternoon. Iâm not hungry at all.
Gu jinghang knew song ranâs appetite. He knew that she would be full after eating half a bowl of rice. He said, â âIf youâre full, donât force it, okay?â
âIâve only eaten a few mouthfuls and Iâm already full. It seems like you still dislike my food,â the second aunt said in a strange tone.
Song ran felt wronged, and Doudou stood up for her sister-in-law. âSecond aunt, why do you say that? My sister-in-law doesnât have a big appetite, and she doesnât eat much in our house. Thereâs no reason for her to force herself to eat at your house. If she hurts my brother, heâll be heartbroken.â
Wu guixiang was so angry that she hit doudouâs head with her chopsticks, and Doudou cried out, â âMom, what are you doing? Why are you hitting me?â
Gu jinghang said coldly, â mother, donât hit her all the time. Sheâs already grown up. Why do you hit and scold her so frequently? â
Wu guixiang slammed the table. itâs my own daughter. Canât I say a few words? â
