Film and TV Life Experiment Program

As the days passed, Gu Yu had finished writing more than half of his novel "The Martian", and Deshan had also entered the Olympic venue for final practice. She was very happy recently because she could eat milk and bread every day.

Life in the hutong remains the same. Every day, the aunties pick vegetables, drink, and chat on the benches in the public area. What they look forward to most is when the children get home from school.

Shanyu is always very affectionate with his mother. He says caring words to her, helps pick vegetables, or massages her legs and shoulders.

Yihua enthusiastically asked 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 about this and that, and would make some jokes from time to time to make her happy.

Luo Meilan was always envious, but her son Zhenghuan was still unfriendly and would only say a simple hello or even say nothing.

Alas, no matter he is my biological son or my godson, why can’t I have such a chance?

"These dumplings are enough for three families, right?" Ichika asked, looking at the three trays full of dumplings.

"With so much food, our father Sunwoo can eat as much as he wants." Sunyoung sighed, thinking of her deceased husband.

"It seems like he really likes eating dumplings."

"Dumplings come second, and the first is another love, rice wine. He can drink a bottle of rice wine every day, which doesn't cost much. Big sister, can you lend me 30,000 yuan first? I will pay you back next month when I have money."

"Okay."

Shanyu's mother is unemployed, and the family of three can only rely on his father's monthly pension to survive, so life is very tight, and sometimes they have to borrow money from their neighbors.

"By the way, it seems like Sunwoo's birthday is coming soon, right? Isn't it the same day as Deoksun's?"

Ichika clapped her hands, a sudden thought coming to her mind, and Sunyoung nodded.

"Did you two do it on the same day?" Luo Meilan also joked.

"Oh, sister, what are you talking about? Zhenzhu is still here. Do you want to buy a birthday present for Shanyu?" Yihua felt a little embarrassed, even though the child was so big already.

"Yeah, what should we buy him?" Shanying said a little distressedly while wrapping dumplings.

"Yeah, what should I buy for my grown-up kids?"

"As for Junghwan, why don't you buy him a pair of sneakers? They were robbed before," said Sunyoung.

When Luo Meilan heard this, her face was shocked, confused and frightened, because he was her own child.

"Don't you know? Junghwan's sneakers were stolen, sis."

"Oh my God, when and by whom?" Ichika just found out about this and was also surprised.

"Who else could it be? A little thug."

"Oh my god! Something bad almost happened to our Junghwan! I hope he's not hurt."

Yihua sat beside her and asked with concern. Luo Meilan was still in shock. Her son never told her anything about what happened. She only found out about it from the neighbors.

"No one was injured. Gu Yu happened to be passing by at the time and beat the two hooligans away. The stolen money was also recovered. The children forgot their shoes and were also stolen."

"Oh my god! Gu Yu? Gu Yu is not injured, right? How could this kid fight with thugs? Is he okay?"

Oh my god, now someone is scared. When Yihua heard that Gu Yu was involved in this, she hurriedly asked.

"Everything is fine. The children didn't tell you because they were afraid you would worry."

Yihua patted his chest and felt relieved. Luo Meilan didn't look very good. In addition to worry, she also felt a little lost and self-blame.

"Speak of the Cao Caos, and they will appear."

Shanying was sitting in the direction where Gu Yu and the others were walking towards. Luo Meilan and Yihua also turned around. Luo Meilan looked down at her son's shoes and found that they were indeed not the new pair of Jordans that they had bought before.

"Hello." Gu Yu and Zheng Huan greeted politely.

"Jung-hwan, Gu Yu, you must be tired from studying, go back and have a rest." Sun-young said.

Jung Hwan greeted them and walked in, while Gu Yu stopped and started chatting with Yihua.

"Auntie, let's eat dumplings today. They are so beautiful. I want to eat a few more tonight."

Yihua dropped the dumplings she hadn't finished wrapping, quickly stood up, walked to Gu Yu, and checked him from head to toe.

"Auntie, what happened?"

Gu Yu was a little at a loss at the moment. Looking at the worried look on Aunt Yihua's face, he asked puzzledly.

"You asked me how could you fight with hooligans? Fortunately, nothing happened. Auntie knows you wanted to help your friend. You can call the police or ask for help. The hooligans may have knives. If anything happens to you, how can I face your parents?"

As Yihua was talking, tears started to fall. After spending some time together, Yihua actually regarded Gu Yu as half a son.

"Auntie, it's my fault. I won't do it again. Look, I'm fine. I used to practice martial arts."

Gu Yu quickly comforted her and took out a tissue from his schoolbag and handed it to Yihua. She felt warm in her heart because someone cared about her. Luo Meilan and Shanying also tried to persuade her. After a while, Yihua calmed down.

"Don't fight with others anymore, understand, Gu Yu?" Yihua looked at Gu Yu seriously, wanting to get a positive answer.

"Yes, I understand. Auntie, do you want to make more dumplings? I can make dumplings too. I'll go wash my hands and help you."

"I don't need you. You must be tired. Go back."

Yihua persuaded Gu Yu to go home and rest, and she almost cried when she looked at Gu Yu's back.

"You really treat Gu Yu as your own child, which is great. This child is sensible and knows how to be grateful. He will have a great future." Luo Meilan handed another piece of paper to Yihua.

“I just hope the kids are safe.”

Gu Yu returned home and continued writing his literary novel. Donglong suddenly came to him and asked him to have dinner with him. His brother gave him some coupons for the restaurant where he worked.

"Gu Yu, you're not so disloyal, are you?"

Donglong has been pestering her for nearly half an hour, and now he has an expression that says "you are the only one I have". To be honest, Gu Yu is disgusted. He has no choice but to say goodbye to Aunt Yihua and go out with Donglong.

Gu Yu was enlightened today. The steak with kimchi and rice was a true combination of Chinese and Western cuisine. Deshan's dinner today was fried chicken sent by the host upstairs.

Deok-sun’s sorrow as the second daughter was that she didn’t get a chicken leg. Although she had gotten used to it over the years, she still felt sad.

The family was eating fried chicken while watching the news about the Olympics. They saw reporters interviewing the Soviet sign-holding lady, and Deok-sun proudly said that she would be interviewed tomorrow.

However, soon, because of Paula's ridicule, the two sisters started fighting again. The sisterhood is really good. I wonder if Gu Yu will have a headache in the future.

However, the next day, Deok-sun, as the signholder for Madagascar, was told in a press interview that Madagascar had announced its withdrawal from the Olympics.

For a moment, Deok-sun was filled with disappointment and sadness, but she still expressed her support for the Olympics appropriately. However, suppressed emotions will always explode one day.

In the evening, Deok-sun's family and Gu Yu, a non-staff member of the family, sang Happy Birthday to Paula together. There was a birthday cake on the table, as well as fried chicken, pork belly and other delicious food.

"Happy birthday to you~Happy birthday to you~Dear Paula~Happy birthday to you~"

"Go ahead, blow out the candles."

"Oh~oh~happy birthday!"

Bora was also very happy. She adjusted her glasses and blew out her 21st birthday candles. Deok-sun stood aside in bitter silence.

After her elder sister blew out the birthday candles, Yuhui was about to cut the cake, but Cheng Dongyi grabbed her hand.

"Wait a moment, pull out three. Gu Yu, wait a moment."

Cheng Dongyi smiled at Gu Yu slightly awkwardly, then relit the 18 candles. Deshan watched all this like a volcano before erupting.
