MTL - The Sweet Stepmother and Her Cute Cubs-Chapter 201
Han Cheng has been recognizing for a long time, and the person in front of him, whether in appearance, temperament, dress or voice, has nothing to do with the past, and even changed his name. It can be said that the two people are completely different from the past, if not for that familiar smile and that With the iconic big white teeth, Hancheng will not recognize it.
Han Cheng hugged him hard: "Why have you changed so much? The letter didn't say you want to come back."
Gu Zhan Zhan hugged him back and said, "I guess I was wrong, I originally planned to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect you to leave Qingfeng Town when I arrived, and I didn't expect you to go back to the capital without going back to the old house. I rushed again. I almost lost contact with you after a while."
"My uncle has been living in the old house for a while, haven't you met?" Han Cheng said.
Gu Zhanwang shook his head: "Unfortunately, not really." He patted Han Cheng's shoulder, "It's so-called three-year-old to see eighty, but your kid hasn't changed at all.
Han Cheng raised his lips: "Should I call you Uncle or Mr. Gu?"
When Han Cheng communicated with him in letters, he used his English name, and the name in the letter was also the old name, and he almost made a big fuss.
Gu Zhanwang has no blood relationship with Han Cheng, but Han Cheng's grandmother took care of him for a while when Han Cheng was still alive. Han Cheng's mother always treated him as his younger brother, so he kept calling Han Cheng his uncle. , Gu Zhanwang is only a few years older than Han Cheng, and he is only in his early forties now.
Gu Zhanwang smiled: "I'm only a few years older than you, don't call me old, you should call me big brother."
Han Cheng is also joking. It was normal for Gu Zhanwang to go abroad with his stepfather and change his surname. It has been strictly controlled in the past ten years. Communication with foreign countries has to go through various levels of censorship, so they hardly had much contact until not long ago. It was only then that they communicated again, but they still felt very cordial when they met. Han Cheng knew that he was actually in contact with his mother, who had always trusted him, and asked him to give him a letter and some souvenirs before his death.
However, his mother instructed him to keep the souvenirs well, not to mail them, and to hand them over to him in person after they met, and the letters could be sent to him.
Han Cheng thought that his mother's intention was to not want him to cut off contact with Gu Zhanwang, and to let him have one more relative in this world to take care of him, so he kept those things all the time.
Han Cheng looked at Gu Zhan Zhan and knew that he had not been reporting good news but not bad news all these years, but he was really living a good life, and he was also happy for him from the bottom of his heart.
The two men interacted for a long time. Su Xiaoxiao and the four cubs stared wide-eyed, and the rice ball asked her mother: What's the situation? Did Dad know Uncle Four Eyes?
Su Xiaoxiao, the noodle-eating crowd, sipped his face, shook his head slightly, and said with his eyes: I don't know.
Han Cheng sensed something and took Su Xiaoxiao's hand: "Let me introduce to you, my love Su Xiaoxiao, you have seen several of my children."
Gu Zhanwang looked at a few cubs, then Han Cheng, and laughed at himself: "I'm really clumsy. I didn't even recognize a few children who look so much like you."
Before a few cubs were alone together, Gu Zhanwang just felt familiar and kind, and didn't think about Han Cheng at all. Now they are together, it's like a mold printed, especially the rice ball, which looks like Han Cheng when he was a child But it was like, those eyes were exactly the same, and he didn't even recognize them.
Han Cheng mentioned in previous letters that he has four children, one of which is twins, but he doesn't look like the little meat buns and the little dumplings are the same age at all, and the rice **** and bean buns look older than their actual age. , especially the onigiri, his mind is mature like an adult, and he manages this store in a prudent manner. How can he look like a child in his early ten years?
Gu Zhanwang added, "I've always been curious about what kind of parents teach their children to be smarter than each other. If it's your words, then it makes sense."
The rice ball couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Gu, do you know my father?"
Gu Zhanwang glanced at the rice ball, said "yo", and said to Han Cheng, "Why don't you call me little uncle, so the rice ball will have to call me my uncle."
The rice ball that is eating the pig's trotter: "..." My uncle, you master!
Gu Zhanwang looked at the rice ball and squinted at him happily for a long time. This kid is usually a monkey and a monkey, so it is not easy for him to be deflated.
Han Cheng knew that Gu Zhanwang was playing with rice balls, and that he was living well with his stepfather now, and the rest was not important.
"By the way, before my mother died, I had some things for me to hand over to you, and I'll get them to you when I get home."
Gu Zhanwang tapped on the tabletop and looked around the store. At this time, almost all the customers were gone, and Bai Lan and Uncle Yang couldn't hear them talking in the kitchen.
Gu Zhanwang didn't answer Han Cheng's words, but instead asked him, "Is there any whereabouts of the painting you asked about last time?"
Su Xiaoxiao blinked and looked at Han Cheng: "He's the friend you said he knew very well about painting and asked you to find XX Wind and Rain Map?"
Han Cheng nodded: "Yes." How could there be such a coincidence in this world? Han Cheng just mentioned it to Su Xiaoxiao when he met Gu Zhanwang.
Gu Zhanwang smiled deeply and said, "It seems that you have found something. You don't need to give me the souvenirs your mother left for me. You will use them next."
A flash of light flashed through Han Cheng's mind: "Could it be..."
Gu Zhanwang nodded: "Yes, it is what you think."
Su Xiaoxiao also guessed what was going on, and said with emotion: "Mother is really a wise person, she actually thought of such a way to keep the keys, both in your hands and not in your hands, if you don't want to find Those things, let them be buried in the soil for a long time, you don't need to know the whereabouts of the keys, and let Gu... big brother keep them on your behalf;
If you find something and you need a key, Brother Gu will know if you try it out, and the key will naturally be handed over to you. "
Gu Zhanwang did have a trustworthy face, and he did not disappoint Han Cheng's mother's trust. Su Xiaoxiao asked again, "Brother Gu, what if Han Cheng doesn't look for those things? What should I do with the key in the end? ?"
Gu Zhanwang said: "If your next generation is successful, I will directly hand it over to your next generation. If they are not successful, there may even be such a prodigal thing as selling the old house. I will advise you to find out the things. Donate, or you can sell the old house to me, and I will keep it for me, but now it seems that I have no fate with your Han family old house."
Su Xiaoxiao and Han Cheng looked at each other and laughed, "It's really a no-brainer, you really have no fate with it. The Han family's old house has changed our family's rice **** to Han Mansion, and we will hand them over directly to the rice balls. "
Han Cheng really wanted to sell the old house before, but he would find out the things before selling them, but he doesn't need them now. Soil, that part of the past will also return to dust with them, and the yard will be renovated, which is the Han Mansion that belongs to the rice ball era.
Gu Zhanwang nodded slightly: "Han Mansion, a good name, I hope your Han Mansion can be passed down from generation to generation, and the fire will be passed down from generation to generation."
Su smiled and nodded: "According to your words, yes."
Han Cheng said, "Since the souvenir that my mother left you has become mine, then I will make the decision to give you the XX wind and rain map as a souvenir."
Gu Zhan Wang waved his hand: "This is something that the Han family has passed down from generation to generation. The so-called gentleman does not take people's favor. You are not good at calligraphy and painting, but your children like it very much." Gu Zhan Wang pointed to the wall, "They If you are good at writing and painting, if you can continue to study, maybe you will become a generation of everyone in the future."
The rice ball, who had just finished eating a bowl of pig hand rice, couldn't help but answer: "Uncle Gu, I think you think too much, writing and drawing beautifully are the basic skills of our family, just like you can eat with chopsticks and a rice bowl, it's not of interest. A hobby is not a career direction, it's just a basic skill, who in our family is not good at writing? Who is not good at drawing?"
Gu Zhanwang: "..." He really thought too much, there was no ordinary person in this family, and he refused to talk to the rice ball!
Su Xiaoxiao said: "Calligraphy and painting are just for children to learn to pass the time. Whether they will engage in related work in the future will be decided by themselves when they become adults. We do not make arrangements forcibly."
Gu Zhanwang sighed: "What am I talking about? Only parents like you can teach such a different child."
Su Xiaoxiao touched the head of Xiaodoubao who was sitting beside him and said, "It's not that we teach well, our children are very good by nature."
Xiaodoubao, who listened to his mother's words the most, narrowed his eyes, arched Su Xiaoxiao's palm like a marshmallow, and said with a smile, "Mom taught me well, I learned it from my mother since I was a child."
Su Xiaoxiao wanted to hug such a well-behaved cub, but when Xiaodoubao grew up, she couldn't hold it any more: "Xiaodoubao has been the most obedient since she was a child." Among the cubs, Xiaodoubao and Xiaozhuzi have the best temperament. Like, is also the best.
The other three cubs disagreed: "Mom/Mama, we are also very good!"
Xiaodoubao rarely competes for favor, he said with a smile, "Mom said I'm the best!"
Gu Zhanwang sighed again: "These children in your family are so hot to me that they all want to get married and have children right away."
Han Cheng was stunned: "Big brother hasn't married yet?"
Gu Zhan Zhan shook his head: "Western countries are a little more enlightened than us in this regard. If you are not in your 30s, whether or not you get married depends on whether you can meet the right person."
Han Cheng said, "I am narrow-minded."
I don't know what's going on, but after a moment of thought, Su Xiaoxiao's mind flashed across Jiang Xue, who just met today: "This idea is actually very good, it will last for a long time."
Everyone tacitly did not continue on this topic.
As if it had been arranged in the dark, this time the treasure hunt and the like really went well unexpectedly, and everything was a matter of course.
Seeing that there was no one in the shop, Su Xiaoxiao simply said, "Brother Gu, we want to sell some of the gold and replace it with some real estate. When do you think is the best time? I heard from my classmates that the current international gold price is more expensive than the domestic one. The last big step, there is still the momentum of rushing upwards, or do you have a good way to monetize abroad?"
Gu Zhanwang glanced at Su Xiaoxiao in surprise, then showed his big white teeth and said with a smile, "I'm really familiar with this matter, and I've been helping a few friends with these things recently. If you're not in a hurry, just wait, the price is still good. If you can rush up, I'll let you know when it's time to make a move."
Su Xiaoxiao cupped her hands: "Then I'll thank Big Brother Gu first."
Gu Zhanwang waved his hand and said, "You don't need to thank me, it's enough to make your children less angry with me. By the way, I haven't told you about my business, can you let these children in your family help me paint in the mall? mural?"
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at the rice ball: "Our children have always let them make their own decisions. You really have to consult the rice ball on this matter. He agrees and we have no opinion."
The rice ball, who was doing the billing at the bar, replied, "It depends on my mood."
Gu Zhan Wang took a mouthful of old blood.
Gu Zhanwang: "Then are you in a good mood?"
Onigiri: "That won't be known until the summer vacation." In fact, Onigiri wanted to go back to Sujiacun and ask Dabao and Xiaobao to work together, so that they could also earn some extra money, but let's talk about it during the summer vacation.
Gu Zhanxiang: "..."
Xiaoroubao is already eating the third bowl of pork knuckle rice, Gu Zhanwang secretly said to Han Cheng, "I have been observing for a long time, your youngest son's appetite is bigger than ours, is it really okay?"
Han Cheng: "Don't worry, there's no problem, he digests quickly, and he has eaten like this since he was a child."
Gu Zhanwang: "..." What kind of family is this!
