Chapter 702: The Appearance of an Upper-Class Person
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Who wouldn’t cherish the care of their own mother? Therefore, Gao Ming had developed a fondness for visiting Gu Zi’s place, finding maternal comfort in her presence.
Grandma Gao, observing her grandson’s growing attachment, took the initiative to foster a good relationship with Gu Zi, hoping her grandson could experience a semblance of motherly love from another.
After spending some time at Grandma Gao’s house, Gu Zi decided to return home with Su Le. As they were leaving, the young Gao Ming came down to see them off. Su Le cheerfully waved goodbye to Gao Ming.
Once they had turned to leave, a hint of confusion flickered in the little girl’s eyes. Upon reaching home, she asked her mother, “Mom, where is Brother Shi Tou?”
Gu Zi, realizing the source of her daughter’s confusion, understood that it had been many days since they had moved. Su Le hadn’t seen their old neighbor, Brother Shi Tou, for quite some time. Although she was still young and struggled to express herself, she was undoubtedly curious as to why she was now seeing a boy named Gao Ming instead of the familiar Shi Tou.
Gu Zi set down the spoon she was using to feed Su Le her rice porridge. Regardless of whether the little girl could understand, she patiently and gently explained, “Lele, we have moved away from Daqing Village. Brother Shi Tou is still there, but when we have some free time, we will invite Brother Shi Tou to visit us, okay?”
The little girl nodded her head in a somewhat understanding manner, her mouth still full of the soft rice porridge. Suddenly, she said, “Brother Shi Tou, Brother Gao Ming, Lele, play together!”
Su Le’s ability to express herself was improving rapidly. Now, when she spoke, it was much easier to understand her. However, when Gu Zi heard Su Le say this, her thoughts began to wander.
She suddenly realized that to little Lele, both Brother Shi Tou and Brother Gao Ming were her childhood playmates. She wondered, which one did the little girl prefer?
Gu Zi laughed at the thought. Just then, Su Bing walked over and asked in confusion, “Mom, what’s so funny?”
Gu Zi shook her head, “Nothing much, just thought of something amusing. Su Bing, since you’re here, watch your sister for me. I’m going to start preparing lunch. After we eat, I’ll need to start making pastries.”
Su Bing stood still, “Mom, are you planning to make all the pastries for delivery today? That’s a lot of work. Why don’t I make lunch today, and you can rest?”
After saying this, Su Bing started to head towards the kitchen, but Gu Zi stopped him, “I want to make something delicious as a reward for you all. It’s not a bother. I should at least make one big dish. You go call Su Li down to watch your sister, and you can help me in the kitchen.”
Hearing this, Su Bing agreed. He went upstairs to call Su Li, who was napping, and then joined his mother in the kitchen. Gu Zi was pleased to have this little helper. With his assistance, she was able to prepare lunch much faster, and soon, the meal was ready.
As they sat down to eat, the two brothers worked in perfect harmony, first serving Gu Zi some dishes and saying in unison, “Mom, thank you for your hard work!”
Looking at her two sons, Gu Zi smiled, “You two are quite formal today. Thank you, my children. I won’t stand on ceremony then, let me taste the dishes you’ve served me…”
Gu Zi first tasted the crab from the dish that her eldest son had served her, followed by the beef from the dish her younger son had served. Both were exceptionally delicious. Although she was the one who had cooked them, the taste was somehow enhanced.
Perhaps it was the affection and camaraderie from her children that added a flavor no culinary skill could replicate. Gu Zi felt truly blessed.
In the afternoon, Zhang Mei’s elder brother and his family, along with their two grandsons, arrived at the entrance of the foreign language primary school. They stepped out of their car, dressed impeccably, resembling high society elites.
Their faces were lit up with uncontainable joy, their chins slightly raised. From this day forward, their children would be students of this prestigious school, a matter of great honor.
They were now one step closer to being part of high society, and they needed to look the part.
Zhang Mei’s elder brother’s wife, unable to contain her excitement, urged her husband to park the car, “You need to hurry up. We can’t let our precious grandsons be late for their exams. And remember, don’t just park in someone else’s spot. That’s not something people like us should do.”
Zhang Mei’s elder brother quickly parked the car and they all headed towards the school’s security booth. “It seems we’re the first ones here. The school hasn’t even opened yet.”
Zhang Mei’s elder brother’s wife approached the security booth, knocked on the window, and said haughtily, “Guard, can’t you see that our children have come for their exams? Open the gate quickly. We can’t afford any delays.”
