Grandpa and Grandma are sitting in the middle of the the group.
The photographer: “Everyone smile.”
Gu Wei beside me took my hand. When the shutter was pressed, the corners of his mouth slightly tilted were frozen.
One sentence turned into a prophecy; The last family photo.
After the family photo was taken, the party moved to a hotel. After taking a seat, his Aunt and Uncle are diagonally opposite us. My mind is wandering in the moment. Dear San San, you will have a very dignified aunt—
And a very difficult brother-in-law.
I keenly feel that this brother-in-law is not very cold towards me.
During the dinner, Grandma held Grandpa"s hand and looked at the children and grandchildren, smiling with relief. Then the conversation turned: “Xiao Nan, when will you bring a girlfriend back for us to see?”
Before that, I got three messages from Gu Wei: First, Gu Xiao changed girlfriends a little too frequently. Second, the parents strongly expressed their hope that he would return home, but he refused. Third, he recently broke up with his girlfriend.
Gu Xiao: “Grandma, are you forcing me to marry?”
Gu Xiao dad"s face dimmed.
Cousin hurriedly smooth things over: “Gu Xiao is still young, Grandparents should worry about Gu Wei"s wife.”
Aunt Xiao: “Xiao Bei, please help Gu Xiao look around. He will move back soon.”
Gu Xiao put aside his chopsticks and shouted with a frown: “Mom—”
The cousin interrupted in time: “I don"t know, what kind of girl does Gu Xiao like?”
Gu Xiao leaned on the back of his chair and raised his chin to me: “It doesn"t matter anyway.”
Everyone went silent.
Why is someone always tearing me down at the dinner table these days?
Gu Wei frowned slightly and replied: “That would be great.”
I looked up and gave Gu Xiao a smile of ‘adults ignore childish people".
Gu Wei had to go to work the next day. He packed me up after dinner and said goodbye to his Grandparents. The Doctor"s mother was telling us to be careful on the way. Gu Xiao said: “I"ll stay with my brother” to his parents and came over with his bag. Like a doorman, he stood beside Gu Wei.
Aunt Xiao took a deep breath: “Your room is well cleaned up.”
Gu Xiao: “Brother and I haven"t seen each other for a long time. Let us get together and talk.”
Aunt Xiao gave us an awkward look. I responded with an appeasing smile: “I"ll go back to my dormito—”
“We don"t have time to receive you.” Gu Wei cut me off.
Gu Xiao exclaimed: “You are not married yet!”
The child is deliberately making trouble!
The cousin came and took Gu Xiao"s arm and said: “You rarely come back, so spend more time with your Grandparents. Oh Yeah, there"s Liu Yue. Liu Yue hasn"t seen you for so long.”
Liu Yue, who was held by Andre in his arms, looked at Gu Xiao for three seconds. Then, very simply, turned her head and hugged her father"s neck.
Now this is how you raise a child!!
Gu Xiao returned to the United States three days later, but the cousin"s family stayed in X City for a week. Since then, Gu Wei and I have added new entertainment to our lives: Liu Yue videos.
