Chapter 104: Tempered Steel Turns into Soft Softness
In fact, it was because Shi Guixiang went to the county town that day and had a heart-to-heart talk with her daughter. Now Gu Xiang's thoughts have changed and many people have become more cheerful.

Yes, she was wrong. Blood ties cannot be severed. How could she take seriously the angry words she said in the past?
How could she forget the love and care her parents and brothers had given her over the years?

You know, after the girl finished junior high school, she ranked first in the entire Hongqi Brigade and even in Yongfeng Commune.

And so what if she is divorced? She now has a job to support herself and should work harder to make money.

Gu Xiang knew that Gu Xiaoman and the current Gu Wan were mistakenly taken away because that was a rich girl who came back from a compound in the provincial capital.

Now, they have returned to the countryside to live a hard life. Gu Xiang feels that she also has the responsibility to help her third brother and his wife earn some money to support her eldest niece.

"Old Three, you're back."

"Dad, you're back."

This is because Qiao Yuemei hasn't returned home yet, otherwise, the couple would have been expressing their true feelings even more.

People of all ages gathered around Gu Zhiqiang to ask about his time away from home. Qi Bin, who was left alone, felt a little jealous.

He has been going out with her for several days, so why hasn’t he seen Wanwan come to care about him?

What’s even more amazing is that Wei Junjie, who was standing by, saw the subtle changes in his nephew’s facial expressions and found it amusing as well.

This man, even if he is made of steel, can become as soft as silk when he meets the girl he likes.

But then I thought of my wife, no, now I should say my ex-wife.

Wei Junjie's mood was not so good. He thought he had done everything he should do, but he didn't expect that woman to be so heartless.

As a result, when Wei Junjie shook his head, Qi Bin noticed it immediately. After all, this person is his elder and he must pay more attention to him.

But at the moment, neither he nor Wei Junjie wants to expose their true relationship in front of Gu's family.

So Qi Bin just asked, "Doctor Wei, how are you? Are you feeling uncomfortable from the bumpy ride?"

Qi Bin's words immediately attracted the attention of the Gu family, especially Gu Zhiqiang. This was an important guest they had invited back and they could not neglect him.

So he introduced Dr. Wei's identity to his family and emphasized the importance of his visit to the Red Flag Brigade.

Then he quickly walked up to Wei Junjie and asked, "Doctor Wei, are you hungry? It took us so long to get here, and you must have worked hard. Just tell me what you want to eat. My wife and my daughter are both very good cooks."

Wei Junjie didn't care much about his appetite. He just smiled and said, "It's okay. Just get something to eat. I don't have many requirements in this regard."

Although Wei Junjie said so, it is certainly impossible for the people in the old Gu family to just give him some black steamed buns to eat. After all, this is the first meal since the distinguished guest arrived.

He is a doctor from a big hospital in the provincial capital, so it is very important to leave a good impression on him.

So the old lady, as the head of the family, took the guests to the main room to sit and drink tea and chat, while Gu Wan planned to cook by herself.

When Qi Bin saw this, he naturally didn't want to go to the main room and waste time. Instead, he turned around and followed Gu Wan into the kitchen.

What should I do? He seems to be possessed. Why does he feel that Wanwan is prettier than before after just a few days of not seeing her?
As soon as Gu Wan arrived in the kitchen, she heard footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw Qi Bin standing at the kitchen door with eager eyes.

I couldn't help but smile and said, "You're so hungry, why don't you go to the kitchen to find something to eat first?"

This is a good reason, but Qi Bin didn't want to drag it out, so he chose to tell the truth: "I haven't seen you for a few days, I want to see you more."

With a bang, Gu Wan felt her face burning, and it seemed that her ears were red. "You——" She didn't expect Qi Bin to become so brave all of a sudden and say such words directly.

In fact, Qi Bin regretted the moment he said this. The two of them hadn't confirmed their relationship yet, so it was a bit too much to say such things.

In fact, he was a little impatient. He couldn't stay here for long. If he continued to boil the frog in warm water, it would probably be too late.

But Qi Bin knew that he couldn't say that again, so he changed his words and said, "I'm really hungry. I'll help you cook. It will be faster this way."

This is true, because it is the middle of the afternoon and no one else in the family has returned yet.

Grandma was still entertaining guests outside, so Gu Wan directly instructed Qi Bin to light the fire. She was very happy to have someone willing to help.

It would definitely be too slow to cook now, and there happened to be some lean meat at home, so Gu Wan planned to make egg and shredded pork noodles for them.

There are two people here, one is making fire and the other is cooking noodles, and the atmosphere is very harmonious.

In the main room, Shi Guixiang entertained Wei Junjie with the most enthusiastic attitude, and asked about the hard work Dr. Wei had put in on the journey. Gu Zhiqiang also joined in, and the three of them had a very good chat.

While chatting with the old lady and the "Third Uncle" as Qi Bin called him, Wei Junjie quietly found out the basic situation of the old Gu family. He even found out that the real and fake daughter's backpacks of Gu Wan were written incorrectly and now belonged to their respective owners.

To be honest, the circle in the capital is only that big, especially since the two families are relatives.

So Wei Junjie also knew Qi Yanming, and after hearing about Gu Wan's life story, his first impression was similar to that of Aunt Qi Bin, his sister-in-law.

Given Qi Yanming's personality, I'm afraid he would not agree to his son marrying such a girl.

But Wei Junjie came to Gu's house in person, met Gu's family and the girl that Qi Bin liked.

Although he had not had much contact with Gu Wan, Wei Junjie could sense that the girl was worthy of his nephew's love, and he would help her when necessary.

As we were chatting, Dr. Wei's expression seemed a little strange. Well, I know that your granddaughter/daughter is very outstanding.

But there is no need to exaggerate, especially when it comes to Gu Wan's cooking skills, which are simply unparalleled in the world.

She is just a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old, and Wei Junjie doesn't believe that her cooking skills are really that great.

Originally, Wei Junjie was still thinking about giving face to others. When the food was ready, no matter whether it tasted good or not, he would just eat it.

The main reason is that Wei Junjie studied medicine and saw the nature of biology, and then he became immune to all kinds of food.

For him, delicious food is just a basic tool to sustain life.

But when the fragrant egg and shredded pork noodles were served, Wei Junjie knew that he had been slapped in the face.

Not only does it smell delicious, it also tastes chewy.

There was no need for the Gu family to greet him at all. Wei Junjie had already picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating with big mouthfuls.

Shi Guixiang and Gu Zhiqiang didn't care. They were really tired on the journey and were really hungry.

Moreover, Dr. Wei's reaction was also a compliment to their Wanwan's cooking skills. As members of the Gu family, of course they could only be happy.
