Old Lady Gao’s matter, Gao Jiazhi didn’t want Zheng Xianghong to interfere at all. After all, Old Lady Gao didn’t allow Zheng Xianghong to visit either, so Zheng Xianghong’s not visiting actually aligned with Old Lady Gao’s wishes.
Xia Xiao also felt that Lin Xuebi was unwilling to live with Old Lady Gao anymore. Gao Guofu didn’t ntion it, but it wasn’t necessarily true that Lin Xuebi had any intention of living with Old Lady Gao, she had endured enough over the years.
Yet, this was too risky; could it be that the people in the old house really thought that after Gao Guihua married Wang Xueyong, they had nothing to fear? That would be courting death.
Gao Guoqiang had almost stayed in the old house until the afternoon before coming back, and he went to the canteen to get food for Old Lady Gao, and he said nothing upon his return.
And Xia Xiao, not bothering about Old Lady Gao’s situation, went to the Fang family’s house again in the evening. Seeing that Ge Liang was already dining there, Xia Xiao finally felt relieved.
On the way back, she said to Shitou, "I think it’s really necessary to fatten up Ge Liang, as long as he’s fattened up, he won’t look like Ge Lai."
The Fang family was a cadre family, surely living better than the average family. If Ge Liang were raised by the Fang family, it wasn’t impossible for him to get fat.
And Ge Liang, having consud the vegetables from Xia Xiao’s space in the Black Bear Cave, had his body well taken care of. Although he still looked sowhat like Ge Lai, he had changed greatly from the forr Ge Liang.
The next day, Wang Xueyong unexpectedly brought Gao Guihua to the production team, and they went to see Gao Guoqiang and Zheng Xianghong at the Gao family before even visiting Old Lady Gao.
They tid their visit, so by evening the Gao family was all at ho, with Zheng Xianghong cooking in the kitchen.
Wang Xueyong and Gao Guihua’s visit was unexpected by Xia Xiao, so she was montarily stunned when she saw them arrive.
Before she could speak, Gao Guihua called out first, "Sister-in-law."
Wang Xueyong was instantly astonished, seeing Xia Xiao at the mont, emanating a maternal glow and tenderness with Weilin, and considering Xia Xiao’s natural beauty, he felt sothing strike his heart, and he was totally startled.
Having seen Gao Guihua before, Xia Xiao couldn’t pretend not to recognize her, so she shouted towards the kitchen imdiately, "Mom, Guihua is here."
Gao Guoqiang ca out from the room and asked Wang Xueyong and Gao Guihua, "Why have you co?"
Wang Xueyong quickly averted his gaze, shouting "Uncle" at Gao Guoqiang with a smile, "Didn’t know grandma was back yesterday, ca to visit today."
Gao Guoqiang nodded, then asked, "Have you visited grandma at the old house?"
Wang Xueyong and Gao Guihua paused, with Wang Xueyong smiling first, "Not yet, we just arrived and happened to pass by, so we ca in to say hello."
Zheng Xianghong ca out from the kitchen, seeing Wang Xueyong and Gao Guihua co over; she was very surprised. Xia Xiao headed straight to the kitchen, feeling uncomfortable under Wang Xueyong’s gaze.
Knowing about Wang Xueyong’s involvent with Liu Haihua before, Xia Xiao already found him disgusting, and now that he married Gao Guihua but kept staring straight at her, Xia Xiao frowned; Wang Xueyong was a problem.
Why are there always such troubleso people everywhere, she thought about Yang He and Liang Wei from the city previously, and here it was Wang Xueyong.
Xia Xiao couldn’t help but compare Liang Wei and Zhao Yan to Wang Xueyong and Gao Guihua, who were much like them. And now Wang Xueyong was the Gao family’s son-in-law, and Old Lady Gao had been brought back. Perhaps by then, Wang Xueyong could use Gao Guihua to visit the Gao family now and then.
Outside, Wang Xueyong and Gao Guoqiang were idly chatting, talking half-sentences and having disjointed conversations. Wang Xueyong was particularly adept at finding topics to discuss, mainly about crops. He spoke as if he had studied at the Agricultural University.
Sure enough, Wang Xueyong had clearly done his howork before coming. Xia Xiao had finished cooking in the kitchen, but Wang Xueyong hadn’t left yet.
Gao Jiazhi was also sitting outside, little Weilin was cradled in Zheng Xianghong’s arms, and Gao Guihua was chatting with Zheng Xianghong from ti to ti.
Sun Yuhua walked toward the kitchen, brightly saying, "Why haven’t those two left yet? Could it be that they want to stay for dinner?"
Xia Xiao thought to herself that might very well be the case. And clearly, Wang Xueyong was there for the Gao family, not the old house.
"Yu Hua, take a seat." At this mont, Xia Xiao was glad she had two extra stools in the kitchen. She didn’t want to go out, and with guests over, it wasn’t right to retreat to her room, so she had to stay in the kitchen.
Sun Yuhua sat down and whispered, "That Wang Xueyong outside is particularly disgusting. You don’t know how annoying his eyes were when he looked at ."
Xia Xiao nodded, "Yu Hua, do you want to bring Weilin in? I don’t know if she’s hungry?"
"Hungry? Of course she’s hungry, I’m hungry too, but I really don’t feel like going out there now," Sun Yuhua said.
Xia Xiao was speechless but still suggested, "If Weilin is hungry, let’s bring her in and feed her first."
Anyway, the food was ready, and since Zheng Xianghong hadn’t co in to announce dinner, Xia Xiao wouldn’t serve it.
It shouldn’t have been a big deal just to eat, but Xia Xiao really feared they’d end up imposing on the Gao family indefinitely. The Gao family and the old house didn’t have the best relationship. Gao Guihua, their niece, had never visited them before, and her current attentiveness was hardly believable.
Suddenly Sun Yuhua laughed. Xia Xiao, puzzled, looked at her, only to hear her say, "Have you noticed how Gao Yongfang and Gao Guihua are really quite interesting? Before, Gao Yongfang would only show affection towards the old house, running back there the mont he returned. Now Gao Guihua is coming here instead. I wonder what the old lady thinks."
Xia Xiao’s mouth twitched, but she still said anxiously, "If the old lady finds out, will she co storming up here, or will there be trouble for Mom again at so point?"
She was pregnant now. If Old Lady Gao troubled Zheng Xianghong, Xia Xiao wanted to stand up for her but had to be careful because of her belly.
She didn’t know how others felt during pregnancy, but Xia Xiao was really pleased about her current pregnancy. Unfortunately, there were no ultrasounds available, and since it was early days, she couldn’t feel the baby’s movents yet.
Once she learned that she needed to be careful during the first three months, Xia Xiao beca extrely cautious with everything she did.
"Alright, I’ll go bring Weilin in," Sun Yuhua finally decided to go out.
At that mont, Zheng Xianghong, seeing Sun Yuhua coming out of the kitchen, said to Wang Xueyong and Gao Guihua, "Alright, go see your grandma. She doesn’t let through that door, so I’ll stay here."
Zheng Xianghong then said to Gao Guoqiang, "Guoqiang, you go with them to see Mom. I’ll ask Jiazhi to prepare so als at the cafeteria and send them over later. You can eat there."
