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

Sure enough, Lin Jingshen was standing not far away, looking in this direction.

Judging from his expression and actions, he was clearly waiting for her to move aside so he could quickly fill the spot next to Chi Yue.

The reason she stood far away at first was purely because of her status as her aunt.

"Okay, I'm leaving then."

Gu Yanli took the keys and was about to leave when Gu Jinfeng said, "Yanli, aren't you going to watch it for a while?"

"This is quite a spectacle!"

Zhong Meixian immediately glared at her.

Zhong Meixian: Fine, fine, fine! You're going to hold your grandson right away, and you don't want me to hold him, is that it?

"What are you looking at?"

"You might enjoy watching it yourself, but what if everyone else does too?"

Although Gu Jinfeng was used to Zhong Meixian's impulsive words, she still couldn't help but feel puzzled.

No, what did she say this time?

Wasn't it just because he saw his younger brother come back for the first time, and there was going to be some excitement, that he said something?

Why is it like they're committing heinous crimes?

At this moment, Gu Yanli finally witnessed what Wen Tang had told him in the letter: when her eldest sister cooked, she said that her eldest sister had killed the salt seller in an attempt to make her sick from the saltiness.

The eldest sister cooks porridge, and she says that the porridge she cooks is so good that you can see your reflection in it. People who don't know better might think that she is eating her eldest sister's porridge.

The eldest sister was rolling out noodles, and she said the noodles were as long as a belt, as if they were trying to wrap around her throat and suffocate her.

Isn't this just making trouble out of nothing?

Helpless, Gu Yanli could only explain to Gu Jinfeng, "My things are still in the kitchen, and the gate to the courtyard is not locked. I'll go back first and put my things away."

With Gu Yanli's explanation, Gu Jinfeng's attention shifted away from her own mother, and she quickly said, "Then you should go back quickly. When your older sister gets back, she'll tell you all about this excitement."

"Go back quickly, go back quickly," Gu Jinfeng said cheerfully, pushing his arm to let him go home.

Gu Yanli didn't move, but waited for Wen Tang to come over before saying, "Then Wen Tang and I will go back first."

Zhong Meixian nodded, "Okay, let's watch for a while longer."

Afraid that Gu Yanli wouldn't understand her hint, she repeated, "You'll have to watch for a while longer!"

Gu Yanli “…”

Wen Tang, however, didn't understand the hint. She simply turned around and waved to Zhong Meixian, saying, "I know, Mom!"

Then Zhong Meixian stood there and seemed happier.

Hmph, so what if he's a grandson?

Her daughter-in-law will also get pregnant.

Her daughter-in-law will definitely be able to give her ten or eight children in the future.

Wen Tang didn't understand Zhong Meixian's hint. After answering Zhong Meixian, Gu Yanli immediately told her, "Don't pay attention to her."

Wen Tang asked, puzzled, "Why?"

"You just got back and you're already angry with Mom?"

Wen Tang thought, "It can't be that bad. This person has been at home for so long and they never started arguing. It's impossible that they started arguing as soon as they got back."

Gu Yanli led her a short distance before telling her, "She's eager to have a grandson."

Gu Yanli felt that his words were very tactful.

But Wen Tang blurted out, "Oh my god, Mom isn't telling us to go back to sleep now, is she?"

Gu Yanli: Oh no, it seems everyone else is being so open and generous, but he's the one being so hesitant and awkward.

Is it really because he's not open and generous enough?

Gu Yanli had great doubts about himself.

His eyebrows furrowed in suspicion.

Wen Tang even analyzed for him, "It's not going to work!"

"This excitement is coming to an end soon; it will be over in half an hour at most."

“You…” She lowered her gaze and glanced at Gu Yanli.

"This time is probably not enough."

Gu Yanli: I thank you for your recognition.

"Ahem," he said, straightening his back ramrod straight, "I brought you some clothes, try them on when you get back."

"Was it bought in the city?"

"Ok!"

"Ah, honey, you're so good to me."

Wen Tang had always called him "brother" before, but now, after a short separation, she felt like she was newly married and blurted out, "Husband!"

Her calling him "husband" made Gu Yanli's limbs almost stiffen.

But that didn't stop him from smiling. "Try it when you get back. If you like it, I'll buy it for you next time."

Gu Yanli also took the opportunity to brainwash her, saying, "There are so many nice clothes and shoes in the department stores in Shanghai."

"There are also many delicious candies."

"If you come with me to accompany the army, I can take you sightseeing when I have time off."

To be honest, Wen Tang was genuinely moved by what Gu Yanli said.

Because she was so attracted, Wen Tang couldn't help but lean against his arm. "Really? Then I'll come visit you when it gets a little warmer."

She wouldn't stay here forever, unwilling to move an inch.

He wouldn't accompany the army, but he could still visit Gu Yanli occasionally and stay for a while.

Gu Yanli felt that she had finally given in, and he was overjoyed.

The two arrived home quickly.

Gu Yanli asked Wen Tang to open the door first, while he went to the kitchen to get the things.

Gu Yanli genuinely just wanted Wen Tang to try on the new clothes he bought as soon as possible, but once he brought the clothes inside and knew clearly that no one was home, his behavior was completely different from what he had in mind.

The moment her lips were covered, Wen Tang offered no resistance.

"Resist my ass! She hasn't eaten meat for two months."

Now, when she faces a man who is both exceptionally good-looking and exceptionally well-off, if she scratches her head, it's all an act.

In order to buy time for her grandson, Zhong Meixian stayed at Xu Zhongguo's house for a long time after the excitement, talking and showing concern for him.

Xu Zhongguo was exasperated by the commotion and could only say, "If she continues like this, I'll go to the higher-ups and have her transferred to another place. Our temple is too small to accommodate such a big Buddha as her."

By the time Zhong Meixian and the others got home, it was already dark.

Wen Tang was already lazily lying in bed.

Gu Yanli was taking out the things he had brought back.

"A cashmere sweater. The salesperson said it would be warm to wear, and I think this color suits you."

Wen Tang took a look and saw the delicate pink color.

Pink and delicate, how old are you now?

twenty!

Perfect, perfect.

Wen Tang put it on immediately. "Does it look good?" she asked, kneeling on the bed.

Gu Yanli glanced at the darkening sky outside, and after much restraint, he exclaimed, "Beautiful!"

"What else? Show me everything," Wen Tang asked happily as she started putting on her socks.

Gu Yanli then took out a cashmere coat and a red scarf.

Wen Tang quickly put them on, then twirled around on the bed. "Does it look good?"

"Ok!"

Gu Yanli endured it all, his eyes now ten times darker than the sky outside.

If it weren't for the voices coming from outside, Gu Yanli would have turned around and bolted the door.

"Mom, they're back."

Gu Yanli nodded.

Wen Tang took off her clothes and put on the clothes she had been wearing before.

Don't forget to ask, "Did you buy clothes for Mom?"

"Yeah, I bought a vest."

Gu Jinfeng called out from the courtyard, "Yanli, sister-in-law..."

Zhong Meixian scolded him again, "Why did you call them over?"

"Come to the kitchen and cook."

Gu Jinfeng had nowhere to turn for justice. "I just wanted to ask Yan Li and his wife what they're having for dinner tonight."

"What to eat?"

"Eat whatever is available."

Gu Jinfeng then fell silent.

Gu Yanli bought Zhong Meixian a vest and a hat, and Gu Juyuan a pair of woolen trousers.

He also brought back some cigarettes (issued by the army, which he didn't like to smoke; aside from those given as gifts, he brought them all back). He gave some to Gu Juyuan and Lin Liansheng.

In addition, there was a large bag of snacks.

Some food was left in the room for Wen Tang, and the rest was taken out and given to Gu Shuhe and Lin Jiaojiao.
