Chapter 20 Patting you on the head every day

Ye Qingtao’s face was a bit serious, but she didn’t show it. She was essentially an outsider in this house, and to others, she was just a girl in her early twenties. Even if such a young girl could treat people, how skilled could she be? Gu Xiu Yuan had already been to the hospital, and the doctor said he was fine. Ye Qingtao speaking up now would only annoy them. Gu Xiu Yuan’s illness would only weaken his body, and it wouldn’t take his life in the short term, so it wouldn’t be a big deal to delay it for a while. “Sister, why do you seem to be spacing out?

” Gu Xiu Yuan waved his hand in front of her face, and Ye Qingtao immediately came back to her senses. “It’s nothing, sister doesn’t blame you. Next time you encounter water, be a little careful. If you fall in again, you might not be as lucky as last time.” “Sister, I know I was wrong. I promise to listen to you from now on.” Gu Xiu Yuan was truly mischievous when he was being mischievous, and his attitude was sincere when he was admitting his mistakes. Ye Qingtao couldn’t help but laugh lightly. It was this kind of child, who could bend and stretch, and always smiled at you, who was the most difficult to deal with. “Okay, Xiu Yuan is so good.

” Ye Qingtao looked at his black and thick hair, a fluffy patch, needless to say, she knew it must feel very good. That’s what she was thinking, and she couldn’t help but reach out and rub his little head. Gu Xiu Yuan giggled and tried to dodge, Gu Jingming gave him a glare, Ye Qingtao had already withdrawn her hand, and he obediently came over. “If sister likes, you can touch my head whenever you want.” Gu Xiu Yuan was very likable, and he looked very charming, with a gentle and scholarly appearance.

 If it wasn’t for his leg problem and the changes in his family, he would have been a sunny and cheerful young man. Since Gu Xiu Yuan had said so, Ye Qingtao didn’t stand on ceremony. Ye Qingtao stretched out her arm and directly hugged Gu Xiu Yuan in her arms, giving him a good rub. “Gu Xiu Yuan, what shampoo do you use?”

 “Shampoo? I use soap. Don’t you believe me? It still smells like soap.” Gu Xiu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then he answered truthfully. Ye Qingtao rubbed his head a few more times before reluctantly letting go of his hand. “Qingtao, are you hungry? Aunt Liu made dumplings today, and boiled soy milk. Come and try her cooking.” Gu Jingming saw Ye Qingtao getting along so well with the children, and the smile on his face couldn’t have been wider. Before, his grandmother had threatened to die if he didn’t take a long leave to come back and find a wife.

Gu Jingming didn’t want his grandmother to get hurt, so he could only follow her wishes. His grandmother thought that his conditions were very popular, so she introduced him to many girls who had stable jobs. But those girls, how could they give up everything they had now? They didn’t want to follow him to the army, nor did they want to be separated, and most importantly, they were all afraid that Gu Jingming was “useless”. Every time they were tricked by his grandmother to come over, they saw the few little radish heads in the house, and without a word, they left. Even though they were just his brothers, the girls couldn’t accept it.

 The children didn’t even have time to communicate with them before they were directly sentenced to death. This had some impact on their self-esteem. Although they were young, they had already learned the warmth and coldness of the world because they had suffered so much. They didn’t want to be a burden to him, and later on, whenever someone came to the door, they would hide in their rooms and refuse to come out.

It was Ye Qingtao’s appearance that made them lively and cheerful again. At first, Gu Jingming found her at the wedding because she was the only person he knew among all the women there. On the day of the wedding, his grandmother fainted from excitement and didn’t even have time to attend. That morning, he got up to wash up and put on his formal suit.

 His grandmother kept staring at him, and then she collapsed. Before she closed her eyes, she still remembered to tell him: “The wedding must be held as scheduled, otherwise, she will die in front of him!” After sending his grandmother to the hospital, Gu Jingming walked back home. Unexpectedly, because of the wedding, his emotions were low, and coupled with his old injuries not healing, his wound actually burst open.

 Gu Jingming didn’t expect that he would have low blood sugar that morning because he didn’t eat breakfast, and he had lost a lot of blood. A man who was usually strong and healthy, who didn’t even have a cold or cough, just lay down on the ground without any warning. If it hadn’t been for Ye Qingtao’s help, he didn’t know what would have happened. At that time, out of gratitude and admiration for her, he mustered up the courage to ask her to be his bride.

 Unexpectedly, after a brief exchange, Ye Qingtao readily agreed. Gu Jingming would never forget how excited he was at that time, he was even so happy that his heart skipped a beat. Aunt Liu’s cooking was indeed good, and he enjoyed the handmade dumplings.

 After breakfast, the children gathered around, but Ye Qingtao suddenly stood up. “I haven’t gone back home all night, my parents didn’t say anything, but they must be worried.” Gu Jingming didn’t say anything, Aunt Liu had just come back from the market with the groceries, and she heard that Ye Qingtao was leaving, so she quickly tried to persuade her to stay. “I specially went to the market today to buy prawns and a few pieces of pork belly, I was going to make you braised prawns and braised pork with preserved vegetables, are you leaving now?

 Why don’t you stay for lunch?” Ye Qingtao had already reached the door, but when she heard about the braised prawns and braised pork with preserved vegetables, she couldn’t move her feet anymore. Just at that moment, Gu Xiu Ping chased after her and hugged her arm. “Sister, don’t go, stay and play with us for a while. If you really have to go, you can leave after lunch.” Gu Jingming gave Gu Xiu Yuan a look, Gu Xiu Yuan was about to use all his strength to keep her, but unexpectedly, Gu Xiu An, who had been silent, went ahead of him and stood in front of Ye Qingtao.

 Gu Xiu An had autism and couldn’t speak, but he was good at silent pouting. He pouted his lips and gently shook Ye Qingtao’s arm. Seeing his pitiful little look, without saying a word, he had already said more than a thousand words. Two children who looked exactly alike, and so cute, Ye Qingtao immediately surrendered. “Okay, okay, I’ll leave after lunch.” Ye Qingtao silently swallowed her saliva, thinking to herself that the charm of braised prawns and braised pork with preserved vegetables was really great! Since she was staying, she couldn’t just sit around, Ye Qingtao decided to play a fun game with them. “Let’s play hide-and-seek, okay?

” As soon as the children heard that they could play hide-and-seek, they immediately danced with joy. “I’ll go help in the kitchen first, I’ll come and find you in three minutes. Whoever I find, I’ll give them a hug and touch their little hands.” Ye Qingtao deliberately grabbed Gu Xiu Ping’s little hand and squeezed it, immediately making him giggle. Everyone saw that the punishment was negligible, it could even be considered a benefit. Not to mention the three children, even Gu Jingming was eager to participate. “Adults can participate too, right?”
