Gu Jinyuan came back faster than expected. Contrary to Ye Wanqing's imagination, he came back almost empty-handed. He only brought a stack of red paper and a few pairs of scissors, and asked Ye Wanqing to teach the three children to cut window grilles.
Half an hour later, merchants began to deliver his purchases one after another.
There were so many things that they filled up half the room. Ye Wanqing wanted to see if there was anything she could do to help. Gu Jinyuan took off his coat and rolled up his sleeves to start drying.
Men seem to be born with a better sense of space than women, and their execution ability is also very good. The merchant gave a ladder, and Gu Jinyuan took a small hammer and nails and started working enthusiastically.
Knowing that the ladder was stable, Ye Wanqing still asked Gu Zhenmu and Ye Musen to help him hold the ladder. Ye Chenlin was very active and only had three minutes to work hard. After cutting two messy shapes, he wanted to throw away the scissors and play with other things. , was restrained by Ye Wanqing's look, holding her there for a while.
How could he do a song like this where he loses the watermelon and picks the sesame seeds?
The villa is very large, and the decoration is a big project. We only started the work in the morning, and everyone had a simple bowl of noodles at noon, and then continued to work in the afternoon.
The living room was barely decorated. Ye Wanqing took a photo of Gu Jinyuan hanging a lantern and sent it to the small group with Ruan Xi, Gu Mo and Lin Yuan, and then brought Zhou Xiaoxiao in.
Ye Wanqing has not spoken in this group for two years, but Gu Mo and the others still use it from time to time. The group is not dead. Lin Huai was the first to reply to the message and sent a question mark. He was obviously very dissatisfied with Gu Jinyuan's actions. untie.
"Gu Jinyuan is decorating our home. On New Year's Eve, we want to cook a barbecue or have hot pot. If you have time, you can come and have a meal together."
Ye Wanqing edited the message and sent it, and then added: "I have remembered everything. Thank you everyone for helping me take care of my mother and two children in the past two years."
Two minutes after the message was sent out, the leader of the group exploded. Zhou Xiaoxiao sent out a series of voice messages. Ye Wanqing only heard her various frantic yells, as if she had discovered a new world. Then Ruan Xi also joined the camp, saying "Fuck" one after another.
Ye Wanqing looked at it for a while, feeling the real warmth flowing in her chest, and said again: I'm waiting for you here.
Next is the queue in the west, which is very neat.
Ye Wanqing put down her phone and continued to teach Ye Chenlin how to cut characters. In her ears was the sound of Gu Jinyuan hammering nails, and the sound of Ye Musen timidly calling Gu Zhenmu brother and asking him questions.
Little by little, her whole heart and whole person became filled.
It took a day and work until after ten o'clock in the evening. The villa was finally decorated. The three children were already tired and fell asleep. Ye Wanqing knew that the most tired one was Gu Jinyuan, so she asked him to take a bath first, and then go there herself. When he came out, he found that Gu Jinyuan was still lying on the bed awake.
"Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Ye Wanqing walked to the bed, lifted the quilt and lay down. Gu Jinyuan raised his hand and turned off the light. When Ye Wanqing was about to fall asleep, she heard him reply: "I'm afraid you will fall."
She was so sleepy that even after hearing this sentence, she could not open her eyes to answer him.
Ye Wanqing overslept the next day, but all the companies were on holiday. Gu Jinyuan didn't have to go to the company, and he didn't get up. As soon as Ye Wanqing opened her eyes, she met his gaze, and she didn't know that he was holding his head and looking like this. How long do you have.
"Didn't you agree to go shopping today? Why didn't you call me?"
Ye Wanqing sat up and avoided Gu Jinyuan's gaze very naturally.
"It's still early, don't worry."
“……”
It was still early, but by the time Ye Wanqing finished washing and getting ready to go out, it was almost ten o'clock.
Gu Jinyuan prepared parent-child outfits for a family of five. Everyone wore a caterpillar-like grass-green down jacket, a red and white horizontal striped hat, and a big red scarf. It looked quite festive, especially the three. When the two children stood in line, they were so cute that their hearts melted.
Ye Wanqing kissed the three of them on their foreheads one after another. Gu Zhenmu's face was a little red, and his ears were even redder. It had been a long time since he had enjoyed such an intimate way of expressing love.
"Let's go!"
Ye Wanqing went out with Gu Jinyuan and her three children. Originally, she could have someone pick up the food, but Ye Wanqing refused. Just like going out to a restaurant to celebrate the New Year, she still felt that she would personally select the ingredients and prepare the New Year's Eve dinner. It's more of a ritual.
Gu Jinyuan drove to the largest supermarket nearby. When Ye Wanqing got out of the car with her three children, she immediately attracted a crowd of people to watch. Ye Wanqing's legs were not yet strong, so Gu Jinyuan locked the car and came over to help her walk. Later, Afraid that she would be hit, he simply put his arms around her waist and almost half-hugged her up. The three children grabbed the hem of Gu Jinyuan's clothes and followed them in line like little tails. The onlookers' eyes became even more envious and enthusiastic.
Even Ye Wanqing felt a little embarrassed. She buried her head in Gu Jinyuan's chest and finally reached the supermarket. Fortunately, there were not many people shopping inside. Ye Wanqing asked Gu Jinyuan to put her down and started to recognize her with her three children. Choose carefully.
Candy, melon seeds, nuts and snacks are all essential. Ye Wanqing asked the three of them to choose a snack that they like to eat. She also chose the same snack and asked other people's opinions in the group. The three grown men didn't like snacks very much. , Zhou Xiaoxiao made a long list of food, and Ye Wanqing chose two items from the supermarket to buy, and then went to the food section to buy.
The weather was very good today. Ye Wanqing thought about it and planned to have hot pot with clear soup for lunch. The base soup was boiled with bones, and then have barbecue in the evening, so that it would not be too greasy and hurt the stomach.
Although there will be more people, considering that there are also many dishes, Ye Wanqing pays attention to the portion of each dish and does not take too much, so as not to leave too much to waste.
However, after this trip, the shopping cart was full.
Fortunately, the supermarket had a delivery service, so Ye Wanqing only picked up candies and snacks and went home first.
As soon as she arrived home and installed the snack and fruit bowl, the doorbell rang. Ye Chenlin immediately jumped up and opened the door. The first ones to arrive were Zhou Xiaoxiao and Nie Zheng. They hadn't seen each other for nearly two months. Her belly had grown again. It looked like she should It's time to give birth.
Ye Wanqing quickly took the small basket she was carrying, which was full of blueberries. Before Ye Wanqing could ask Zhou Xiaoxiao, she said impatiently: "These blueberries are very sweet. You must try them. I have to eat half a basket like this every day." Okay!" He swallowed as he spoke.
Ye Wanqing was amused and laughed: "Okay, then I'll wash a plate for you right away."
"Soak it in salt water first, and then wash it three times, otherwise Mr. Nie won't let me eat it." Zhou Xiaoxiao gave the order without warning. Nie Zheng helped him sit down on the sofa, and then said to Ye Wanqing worriedly. : "You talk to her while I go wash her."
"……oh oh."
