“Young Master Gu, come in quickly. Old man, go and bring a stool for Young Master Gu and bring up the melons and fruits from the cellar well for Young Master Gu to eat.”
As Song Si’s words fell, Grandma Song immediately greeted Gu Yi enthusiastically and entered the door. She certainly knew that Gu Yi had put in a lot of effort in this matter, without him, Song Si would not have been able to prove her innocence so quickly and return to the academy.
Master Song nimbly went to carry the wooden stools.
Gu Yi was somewhat flattered by such warm hospitality for the first time, and was just about to lift his feet and walk over when he saw that Song Lin and Xu had also come out of the house, so he didn’t dare move.
Song Lin and Xu were also very happy to hear Song Wan Yue’s voice inside the house, and Song Lin had a rare smile on his face. Grandma has bought you some melons and fruits, so go and sit down while I get them.”
“Hey.”
Gu Yi answered with a smile on his face, so happy that he didn’t know where to put his hands and feet.
“Young Master Gu, please have a seat.”
Elder Song put the wooden stool in the shade and even wiped it carefully with his sleeve.
Gu Yi dizzily walked over and moved the wooden stool back in front of Elder Song, “Grandpa, you sit, I’ll just stand.”
“How can I let you stand, you do, I’ll move the small table and help you cut the melon right away.”
The folds on Elder Song’s happy face turned into a smile.
His grandson’s return to the academy meant that he would be able to take the imperial examinations in the capital next month, and his Song family might be able to produce a scholar.
Thinking of this, Elder Song walked with the wind in his step, walked into the kitchen, carried the small table out with one hand and placed it steadily in front of Gu Yi.
Song Lin had already brought up the watermelon, a round one, a three or four catties. This season, although watermelon is not a rare thing, but it is not something that ordinary people can afford to eat, the Song family has never eaten it before, this is still Song grandmother in order to thank Gu Yi, deliberately bite the bullet to buy.
Xu took a clean kitchen knife and handed it to Song Lin, who cut the watermelon into two halves with a single stroke, the red flesh of the melon instantly making people salivate.
Song Lin put half of the watermelon on one side of the table and cut the remaining half into seven or eight small pieces and pushed them all in front of Gu Yi, “Eat it, it’s been sitting in the well cellar, it’s cool and delicious.”
“Grandpa eat, grandma eat, aunts and uncles eat too, big brother, and little girl.”
Gu Yi pushed the watermelon back to the middle of the table as soon as he could.
“We are old and afraid of cold, your aunts and uncles also have a bad appetite and don’t eat cold things, Si’er and Yue’er, you two stay with young master Gu and eat, we’ll go and pack your things for you, you’ll hurry back to the college later.”
Song Si knew that they were reluctant to give up, and picked up two pieces and placed them in the hands of Elder Song and Grandma Song respectively, “There’s no rush, I’ll go to the academy after I’ve had lunch, I’ll pack my things later.”
Song Wangyue also took two pieces and put them in Song Lin and Xu’s hands respectively, “Your appetite is bad because of the heat, you’ll be fine after eating watermelon.”
“We are really afraid of the cold, or not ……”
Grandma Song wanted to put the watermelon back.
“Grandma, if you don’t eat it, we won’t eat it either.”
Gu Yi spoke up, saying that he was going to put the watermelon back in his hand while he was still in a position to do so.
“Don’t, don’t, don’t, eat, we’ll all eat.”
Gu Yi eats watermelon every day, but he has never eaten one as sweet as today’s, cool and tasty, refreshingly sweet and soothing to his body.
“Grandma, where did your family buy this watermelon from, I’ll ask the family to buy a big cart later.”
His words fell and there was a sudden silence around the table.
Gu Yi sensed it and moved uneasily towards Song Wan Yue’s side, he didn’t seem to have said anything wrong, why didn’t everyone eat.
She had forgotten that the Gu family was a big family and watermelon was nothing to them, maybe they ate it from the moment they opened their eyes in the morning until they went to bed at night, unlike their family, who had never bothered to buy Song Wangyue a watermelon to eat, even if they had been so impressed by her.
“Click!”
Song Wan Yue took a big bite of the watermelon, the crisp sound resolved the embarrassment of the crowd, and Grandma Song returned to her normal self, “It’s ten miles away, there’s a big watermelon field there, it’s all from the sand, it’s big and sweet.”
“I know, Grandma. ”
Gu Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and no longer dared to speak, lowering his head and finishing the rest of the watermelon with a small bite.
“Eat more if it’s delicious.”
Grandma Song pushed the remaining two pieces in front of him, “Let’s go and cook, today grandma will make you a special dish.”
Gu Yi didn’t expect to still be able to eat at Song’s house, after being stunned for a moment, he almost jumped up with joy, overflowing with delight, “Thank you, Grandma.”
“Yes, we should thank you, just don’t mind the simple meal later.”
Gu Yi waved his hands, “I don’t mind, I don’t mind, as long as I can eat at your house, even if I have to drink cold water I don’t mind.”
The crowd, ……
……
The people went to their own work, and Song Si went back to his house to pack his things.
“Little girl ……,” Gu Yi’s eyes glowed brightly, “did your family agree to our marriage?”
Song Wan Yue, ……
plucked his head aside and struck him unmercifully, “You’re thinking too much, my family just thanked you for helping us out.”
“That’s not necessarily oh.”
Gu Yi’s words were conclusive, “Did you see how my aunts and uncles looked at me differently? They say that the more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the happier she looks.”
Song Wan Yue, ……
smiled faintly, “Do you believe it or not, if my father heard this from you, he would immediately throw you out.”
Gu Yi subconsciously shrank his neck, turned his head to see that Song Lin was not in the courtyard, and immediately became bold again, “I don’t believe it, uncle clearly just likes me, you didn’t see him just push all the cut watermelons in front of me.”
Song Wangyue,……
eyes rolled, suddenly shouted in the direction of the door, “Father!”
Gu Yi stood up in shock and turned his head to see where there was a figure at the door.
Song Wan Yue laughed, silver bell-like laughter echoed in the courtyard, Gu Yi also followed and laughed away, the teenager was absolutely beautiful, smile radiant, the whole courtyard followed and lit up.
……
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public.
Gu Yi was even treated like never before, the family kept on giving him dishes and his bowl was piled up into a small mountain.
Gu Yi winked smugly at Song Wan Yue and then winked again, meaning it was self-evident that her family just loved him.
Song Wangyue winked back at him and put a chopstick of vegetable into his bowl, “My family never has leftovers.”
Gu Yi froze for a moment, then scrambled to raise his hand to cover his bowl, “I have enough, if I have more I won’t be able to eat.”
“Excuse me, is this Song Si’s home?
A woman’s questioning voice came from the courtyard entrance.
Song Wangyue looked at the voice, saw the person coming and narrowed her eyes.
