Best friends transmigrate into a book! They marry a high-ranking official! If you run, I run too!

If Shen Tingci can't even resist her mother's little actions, then she shouldn't eat it.

Shen Tingci was unaware of her brother-in-law's thoughts. Faced with snacks she didn't particularly like, she still got up and accepted them simply because her brother-in-law had given them to her. "Thank you!"

Seeing that everyone else had eaten but Gu Yanli wasn't, Wei Hongtao asked, "Why aren't you eating?"

"Is that all?"

Wei Hongtao looked at the little bit he had left, "I'll share it with you..."

Gu Yanli interrupted him in time, "I only eat what my wife leaves behind."

Gu Yanli wasn't interested in the overly sweet cake, but he was very interested in what his wife had left over.

Wei Hongtao paused for a moment after pushing his hand halfway, then quickly withdrew it, saying, "Well, I was just being presumptuous."

Gu Yanli nodded honestly.

Wei Hongtao and the others had all served in the military, and they knew the way people interacted in the military.

Therefore, Wei Hongtao was not surprised by Gu Yanli's behavior.

Chen Ying was shocked. How did her brother-in-law, who was so straightforward, become the regimental commander?

And so young...

Shen Tingci's gaze swept back and forth between Gu Shuhe and Gu Yanli. These siblings do look alike!

The dishes were served quickly, and Gu Yanli did indeed keep an eye on Wen Tang, only letting her eat half of the cake.

Gu Yanli ate the remaining half in two bites.

Then, with smooth movements, he helped his wife pick up the hot dishes that had just been served.

He only picked the cuts of braised pork with less fat, he immediately spotted the chicken leg and picked that part of the fish, and he only picked the belly part of the fish...

Apart from Gu Shuhe, who was eating calmly, everyone else at the table was somewhat stunned.

Shen Tingci also learned something new. He realized that it was possible to be so blatant in his affection for his wife.

Is it okay not to hide it?

Shen Tingci knows how to be kind to people, but if you let him be so undisguised and blatant, he'll actually be afraid of what others will say.

It's not that I'm afraid of what others say about me, but I'm afraid of people talking about Shuhe behind my back, saying that they are not proper.

But after being fed dog food throughout the entire meal today, Shen Tingci realized that there was nothing to say.

Just like Gu Yanli said, it's legal, there's nothing improper about it.

So Shen Tingci served Gu Shuhe food twice more later.

Gu Shuhe glanced at him with some surprise, then silently moved her position again and again, trying to get as far away from Shen Tingci as possible.

Shen Tingci easily overcame her mental hurdle, but Gu Shuhe did not; she felt ashamed.

Because we ate dinner late, it was already 2 o'clock when we finished.

After buying some other odds and ends, it got dark very quickly.

There were still two things left to choose from, and we couldn't leave tonight anyway. Wei Hongtao said, "I know where there are guesthouses. Let's go eat first, then stay at a guesthouse for the night. We can continue choosing tomorrow morning when they're open."

He was the matchmaker, so he was the one who said these things.

It's a guesthouse, but Wen Tang and his group aren't staying there.

After all, they have rooms here.

And more than one place.

A cramped guesthouse is nowhere near as comfortable and convenient as your own home.

If they go back to their own homes, Wei Hongtao is Gu Yanli's former superior, so it's not right not to ask him about it.

Asking Wei Hongtao and then leaving Shen Tingci and her son behind was even more inappropriate.

So Wen Tang simply said, "Let's not stay at the guesthouse. It's inconvenient and it costs money."

"Come stay with us!"

Wei Hongtao nodded, "Yes, yes, Yan Li has housing now, but there are so many of us..."

Wen Tang pointed behind her and said, "It's not the family compound, it's the dormitory area of ​​my factory."

“I was allocated a three-bedroom apartment.”

Chen Ying was speechless again.

A house in Shanghai?

Oh, she remembered, Director Wang had mentioned that Wen Tang was going to develop her career in Haishi, but...

She was still very surprised that it happened so quickly and that it had become a reality.

Wei Hongtao was somewhat tempted. "Is that convenient?"

Their generation's motto is to avoid spending money when traveling, and it would be great if friends could help them.

Otherwise, why would there be the saying, "When you're out and about, having more friends means having more options"?

“It’s convenient. My nephew’s wife lives there too. Shuhe and I will go stay at her place, and Yanli will take you all to stay at our house. It will be very convenient.”

Wei Hongtao then looked at Chen Ying and asked, "How about we go stay at Yan Li's place?"

Chen Ying was, after all, a person of this era, and she was also trying to save every penny she could. In addition, she wanted to see what kind of factory Wen Tang was running in Haishi!

The main idea is to know yourself and your enemy.

Chen Ying did not object, and the group drove towards the factory.

Because the factory is some distance from the city, it was already dark when we arrived.

The factory had already closed for the day.

Chi Yue has even started cooking.

As soon as Wen Tang got out of the car, she ran happily forward.

Gu Yanli was so frightened that he followed closely behind.

After knocking twice, Lin Jiaojiao opened the door.

Upon seeing Wen Tang, Lin Jiaojiao exclaimed with delight, "Auntie!"

Jiajia followed behind Lin Jiaojiao and happily greeted Wen Tang as "Grandma!"

Then, in a sweet and gentle voice, she called out to Gu Yanli, who was following closely behind Wen Tang, "Grandpa!"

Seeing that Wen Tang was alright, Gu Yanli reached out to hug Jiajia.

Jiajia immediately reached out for a hug and looked behind Gu Yanli, asking, "Where's Daddy?"

She believed that her father should also be present.

Gu Yanli could only tell the truth, "Dad is at his hometown, at work. He'll come to see Jiajia when he has a holiday!"

Jiajia seemed to understand but not quite, but obediently said, "Then we must make sure Daddy gets a vacation soon!"

Gu Shuhe ran over at this moment, "Jiajia!"

Having been away from home for so long, Jiajia hardly recognizes Gu Shuhe anymore.

When Lin Jiaojiao saw Gu Shuhe, she immediately hugged Gu Shuhe excitedly, "Ahhh, Auntie, Auntie..."

The commotion at the door was so loud that Chi Yue came out of the kitchen to take a look, then quickly turned off the stove, threw down the spatula, and came out. "Why did you come over?"

"Have you finished taking care of things at home?"

"So fast?"

Chi Yue asked a series of questions.

Wen Tang simply pointed to the few people standing by the car in the open space at the entrance and explained to Chi Yue, "Shuhe is getting engaged. We came here today to help Shuhe buy things. We don't have time to go back tonight, and I don't want to stay at the guesthouse, so I brought her back."

Chen Ying and Wei Hongtao got out of the car and began to look around at their surroundings.

Wei Hongtao was the first to speak up, muttering, "This factory is really big. My sister-in-law is quite something, managing such a large factory."

Chen Ying watched, feeling a pang of sadness.

She had previously learned about Wen Tang's soap; some people in the county town did buy it, but to say it was from a factory was really giving her too much credit; it was clearly just a small workshop.

But this one in front of you, you say it's not a factory...

Chen Ying looked at her son, who seemed to have... married into a wealthy family.

bah bah bah! !

Their family isn't doing badly either!

Shen Tingci, on the other hand, was not very aware of his surroundings. He chose Gu Shuhe not because of her family background, so naturally he wouldn't react too much to her family environment.

After Chi Yue and the others looked at Wei Hongtao and his group, Wei Hongtao quickly led his people over.

Wen Tang was responsible for introducing the identities of Chi Yue, Lin Jiaojiao, and Jiajia.

Having already met each other, Chi Yue stepped aside to let them in, saying, "Please sit down. I have some food cooking in the pot; we'll eat here tonight."

Chen Ying was naturally embarrassed to accept the nephew's hospitality, so she said, "Staying here has already caused you trouble. I'm sorry to trouble you any further. There are no outsiders here, so let Tingci treat us to dinner at the state-run restaurant tonight!"
