Chapter 204: The Grace of Raising a Child Is Greater Than Heaven
Fortunately, after leaving Qi Yanming, Fang Miaolan's social skills returned to their previous perfect state, and she would not rashly bring up the topic of proposing marriage at this time.
At least, stay here for a few days and build good relationships with the elders of the Gu family.
Moreover, looking at the brat's anxious look seemed quite interesting. At this time, Fang Miaolan finally realized one of the joys of raising a son.
Gu Wan, one of the protagonists of the topic on both sides, saw that both parties were chatting well and there seemed to be no room for him to express himself.
Simply, he shifted the main battlefield. Since it was the first time Qi Bin's mother came to visit him, he must show off his cooking skills and cook something delicious, which would also be a way for her to make use of her special skills.
But it’s a little too late now, and there aren’t enough ingredients at home. A good cook cannot cook without rice.
Gu Wan could only try his best to cook a few of his best home-cooked dishes.
One of the purposes of Wei Junjie's coming here is to taste the food. He now admires Gu Wan's cooking skills very much.
Even if Gu Wan only cooked a table full of radishes and cabbages, I'm sure Dr. Wei would find it delicious.
Then Gu Wan really only made three dishes, but they were large in quantity and filling, including stir-fried pork with vegetables, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and kelp egg drop soup.
The fried pork with peppers is shiny and tender, the fried eggs with red and yellow tomatoes, and the kelp and egg soup looks very tempting.
Everyone drooled at the same time. Not to mention Fang Miaolan and Wei Junjie, even the Gu family members couldn't often eat meals cooked by Gu Wan.
Moreover, after Gu Wan went to work in the county town, Qiao Yuemei also entered the small kitchen of the commune, so the person in charge of the cook in the old Gu family became Old Mrs. Gu again.
Although Shi Guixiang’s cooking is definitely better than most women in the village.
But it really can't be compared with Gu Wan, who is at the chef level, so everyone was very satisfied with the meal.
Fang Miaolan just stayed in the Gu family because everyone else in the family had their own tasks, including Gu Wan, who had to go back to work.
As a result, only Gu Mingfeng, Old Lady Gu and Fang Miaolan were left at home. Even Qi Bin followed Dr. Wei to see Gu Zhiqiang and the others collect herbs.
As a guest, and even an official's wife who came from the capital, Fang Miaolan always showed her approachable side.
Putting herself in the other person's shoes, Mrs. Gu did not take advantage of her seniority, but instead entertained the other person warmly.
Although there is a difference in age and generation between the two people, there is not a big generation gap when they talk, mainly because the old lady is very wise.
She was sensible and considerate. For a moment, Fang Miaolan was very envious of Qiao Yuemei for having such a good mother-in-law.
Then Old Lady Gu took Fang Miaolan for a stroll around the village, and both of them were having a great time.
Even other people in the village were cautious and skeptical about them.
A big shot came to the village, and Fang Miaolan looked different from a country woman. Even in the county town, she had never seen such a majestic woman.
Then someone who was well-informed found out that this was Qi Bin's mother, who came from the capital specially.
Because the two families have only had a formal meeting so far, there has been no formal discussion about the matters between the children.
So they had already discussed it, and the unanimous statement to the public was that Ms. Fang came here specifically to play because she heard from her son that the place was beautiful with beautiful scenery and nice people.
For a moment, everyone was very excited.
It turns out that their Red Flag Brigade is so good that all the big shots in the capital have heard about it and come to visit.
For a moment, they were overwhelmed by Fang Miaolan's enthusiasm, especially the extroverted and bold ones who would actively seek her out to recommend interesting places in their village.
Some people were curious about the capital and asked timidly, but Fang Miaolan answered them in a friendly manner. Because in such a warm atmosphere, Fang Miaolan even temporarily forgot that she was still in a failed marriage.
You have to know that in the past 20 years of marriage with Qi Yanming, Fang Miaolan has been trapped in the family and rarely has the opportunity to communicate with many people like this.
She did not look down on the villagers of the Hongqi Brigade because of their unequal status. Instead, she was moved by their enthusiasm and friendliness.
In particular, knowing that Ms. Fang was interested in the vegetables and eggs grown by the villagers, people like Zhao Yujing brought over their best food and said they wanted to give it to her.
They are all small things and may not be worth much money, but they are the villagers' heartfelt gifts.
Ms. Fang became more and more interested in this place.
Seeing his mother becoming more energetic day by day, Qi Bin was also very happy and felt that this beautiful place with mountains and rivers was really nice.
Actually, if the Gu family is reluctant to let Wanwan marry far away, it would be a good idea for him to stay here and be a son-in-law.
I just don't know if his future father-in-law's family can take in his mother as well?
Gu Wan didn’t know that Qi Bin was already thinking about such a profound question. The next day, she had to go back to the hotel to work as usual.
Manager Xiang's attitude towards Gu Wan was not very good, but because she was currently the head chef of a state-owned restaurant and the guests had high praise for her, he did not dare to do anything behind her back.
Gu Wan didn't care about these things. She was just working here temporarily anyway, and it would be more convenient to do things in the county town.
Gu Wan will leave once Master Wu's arm is healed, so he is not afraid of offending the manager of this so-called state-owned restaurant.
But no one expected that Qi Bin would show up in the restaurant at noon. According to him, he came to the county town because he had work to do.
Now that I'm here, I might as well go to the state-owned restaurant to eat and see my partner.
Gu Wan had no comment on this reason. After all, Qi Bin had the money and tickets, so having a meal in the county town was just a piece of cake for him.
Eating was really secondary. Qi Bin’s main focus was to call his comrades in the provincial capital, even though his grandfather said he didn’t need to worry about it.
Qi Bin was unwilling to accept that the man who had hurt his mother so much was still enjoying the benefits brought by the Fang family's power, and it might even affect his other descendants.
Anyway, his old comrade-in-arms also lives in the provincial capital compound, so it’s right for him to make a phone call to inquire about his biological father’s recent situation, right?
It’s just that there is a piece of news, and after hesitating for a while, Qi Bin still told Gu Wan.
"Qin Shiman's mother is sick and in the hospital. It is said that she has a serious illness and needs surgery."
After a moment of silence, Gu Wan finally realized what kind of relationship the person Qi Bin was talking about had with her.
Maybe it was not that the original owner did not have the affection for Gu Wan because of the eighteen years of day and night living together. On the contrary, after she came, she went to the countryside, so she sincerely treated the Gu family as her own family from the beginning to the end.
In fact, because she hadn't had any contact with the book for a while, she almost forgot that the hero and heroine of this book were Qi Yuanhang and Qin Shiman.
Qin Shiman's parents are nominally her adoptive mother, after all, they raised the original owner Qin Wan for eighteen years.
Even though she has changed her name back to Gu Wan, the kindness of raising her still exists.
After knowing this, Gu Wan felt complicated. The provincial capital was too far away, and logically she should go there to visit.
So this is also the extremely unreasonable aspect of that period novel. After Qin Shiman returned to the provincial capital, she forgot about the elders of the Gu family who had raised her for eighteen years.
Is this still the flawless heroine with all the good qualities?
Isn’t it said that the grace of raising a child is greater than heaven?
