Capítulo 1541: Chapter 1541: Peaceful Years
Before Gu Qiaoqiao could express any thoughts, Lian Yuhong turned and headed to the kitchen, saying, “Qiaoqiao, don’t leave at noon, your brother Luo Fan is here, and mom will make sothing delicious for you both.”
Is this considered taking advantage?
And at this mont, Gu Tianfeng regretfully said, “If Zishu hadn’t repeated a year, Luo Fan could have been tutoring both of them with their studies now.”
Gu Zishu is a repeat student.
This was sothing that wasn’t to be ntioned before.
Especially with Gu Tianfeng, who knew perfectly well what the situation was but none of the family ever talked about repeating a year in front of him.
Gu Zishu stayed back a year during high school to prepare for the military academy exam, so he would be taking the college entrance exam next year.
Otherwise, he would be taking it this year with Qianqian and Xiao Yu.
Although Gu Zishu is still mischievous, he has matured a lot after going through so incidents, especially after the ti Xiao Yu was kidnapped, he seed to change entirely. He realized that studying was the only way to achieve his dreams, so he’s working hard at it, which is comforting to Gu Tianfeng.
But it’s also a concern for him.
After all, he’s a teacher, and to have a son who repeated a grade could be embarrassing to ntion.
Gu Qiaoqiao glanced in the direction where Luo Fan had just left, smiled slightly, and confidently said, “Dad, don’t worry. Next year, when Zishu takes his college entrance exam, as long as you say the word, Luo Fan will surely be delighted to tutor Zishu.”
Gu Tianfeng thought seriously and said, “He’s a good kid. If I asked him that way, he would definitely agree, but he’s very busy with work and we can’t keep bothering him again and again. When Ah Ze has ti, let’s have Ah Ze do it.”
Gu Qiaoqiao wanted to say that Luo Fan would be willing to co and wouldn’t find it a bother at all.
But she swallowed her words back.
Never mind, we’ll deal with it as it cos.
At this ti, Great Grandma and Great Grandfather walked over together, having finally reconciled.
They realized that the rest of their lives was too short to waste any more ti.
So, the two of them are able to co and go together, exercising.
When there’s nothing else to do, Great Grandfather will take Great Grandma to Yubao Square or to stroll in the park, and most often, he will take her to the theater to listen to opera.
That was what they both loved the most.
Gu Qiaoqiao thought it was wonderful. She smiled and helped Great Grandma and Great Grandfather sit down, looked around, and asked in surprise, “Great Grandma, why didn’t I see Aunt?”
“She went to see Grandpa Liang…” Lady Yu said with a smile.
Grandpa Liang…
Alright, anyone would think he’s a white-bearded old man at first.
Even Gu Qiaoqiao did, but there’s nothing to be done about it, since Zhao Yuxiang has seniority and would normally be called Uncle or Grandpa.
But Zhao Yuxiang is Great Grandfather’s adopted daughter, so naturally, she should be addressed as Aunt.
And, Grandpa Liang isn’t actually old.
Zhao Yuxiang isn’t either.
Gu Qiaoqiao curiously inquired, “Great Grandma, when are Aunt and Grandpa Liang getting married?”
Lady Yu frowned slightly and sighed, “Ah, your aunt is shy. She keeps saying she’s too old to have a wedding, that it would be embarrassing…”
Gu Qiaoqiao disagreed, “It’s said that when a man reaches marriageable age, he should marry, and when a woman reaches marriageable age, she should wed. What’s there to be embarrassed about? The two of them are lovers who finally co together. Who would dare to mock them?”
“I told her the sa, but she still can’t get past it in her heart.”
Gu Qiaoqiao’s eyes shifted slightly, suddenly thinking of a solution, “Great Grandma, Aunt is probably too shy to have you conduct a wedding for her. Why not have them elope and buy them a place to live…”
A wedding would indeed be complicated.
Grandpa Liang wouldn’t want to involve family, and frankly, he doesn’t have much financial backing. These days, he wouldn’t know what to offer Zhao Yuxiang in a marriage, and being older, if people pointed fingers, it would be a blow to his pride.
People have their own thoughts, and it shouldn’t be forced.
Upon hearing Gu Qiaoqiao’s words, Great Grandma’s eyes lit up—why hadn’t she thought of this?
Over the years, Zhao Yuxiang has taken care of her, and apart from Imperial Capital, she hasn’t traveled elsewhere.
In her older years, she thought of going out a bit, so how about Zhao Yuxiang?
Moreover, they have the ans to do so.
As for what Liang Tianzhu thinks, Lady Yu felt it wasn’t very important. At this age, living comfortably is what’s most crucial.
Since Liang Tianzhu didn’t want to live in Gu Garden, they should buy them another house instead, and her grandson and granddaughter-in-law are very filial. Besides, they can’t let Niuniu take care of her all the ti either.
She should have her own life too.
She followed along through ups and downs, suffering a lot.
So now, she should make it up to Niuniu as well.
But, the house should be bought close by.
So, Lady Yu and the Old Patriarch both thought Gu Qiaoqiao’s idea was good, and after praising her a few tis, they planned to wait for Zhao Yuxiang to return to discuss the marriage.
Gu Qiaoqiao needed to go to work, so she didn’t stay to listen but could guess that Aunt would likely agree.
At noon, Xiao Wen, who had gone out on an errand, returned. She had gone with Chu Chengfeng to choose a location for the noodle shop.
A few days ago, Lu Hao called to say everything was going smoothly and that he would bring Sister Li to the Imperial Capital on the twelfth of this month.
It seed Lu Hao wanted to ensure Sister Li was settled before leaving.
Chu Chengfeng had taken a liking to a few locations, but he primarily wanted to spend ti with Xiao Wen, which is why he ntioned having Gu Qiaoqiao co along to look.
At first, Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t have the idea of co-opening a noodle shop, but since Chu Chengfeng was concerned about Xiao Wen, he brought Gu Qiaoqiao into it. Gu Qiaoqiao thought it might work out and could later turn into a chain.
Furthermore, with her involvent, Sister Li could feel more assured.
Gu Qiaoqiao was quite busy and without much choice, she had to go along with Chu Chengfeng’s wishes.
Moreover, arrangents had to be made for Sister Li’s accommodation.
These things needed to be settled before Lu Hao and Sister Li’s arrival.
So, Xiao Wen had been with Chu Chengfeng over the past few days.
Plus, they weren’t planning an ordinary noodle shop.
Chu Chengfeng wanted to open the biggest one in Imperial Capital.
Not a high-end one, targeting middle-class and below custors.
Gu Qiaoqiao also agreed with Chu Chengfeng’s idea, so she left these matters to Xiao Wen.
After chatting with Xiao Wen for a while, Gu Qiaoqiao was quite satisfied, as they had resolved the locations for both the shop and Sister Li’s accommodation.
After lunch, she wanted Xiao Wen to rest at ho, but Xiao Wen insisted on going to Yubao Square with her.
Gu Qiaoqiao agreed.
Gu Qiaoqiao and Xiao Wen got into the car, and just as Brother Li San was about to start the car, Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly rembered sothing and said to Brother Li San, “Brother Li San, let’s take a detour and see if the Ouyang family’s house has been sold.”
