Chapter 276 A Little Sad
[Gu Si]: Well, if my wife isn’t angry, should I have a fight with my dad?
Gu Si, whose mind was full of Lingxi's angry look as if she wanted to scratch someone, teased her on purpose.
Lingxi: “…”
!!!
[Ling Xi]: I don’t want to care about you anymore!
Gu Si's chuckle came from the patch beside her ear. Lingxi subconsciously covered her ears. Then her fourth brother's voice sounded: "Fourth brother can't beat our father now, but if you want, wife, fourth brother can give it a try."
Lingxi: “…”
Let me see if I will pay attention to you!
Gu Si waited for a while, but did not hear Lingxi's reply. He only heard the little girl and the three children talking softly about going to look for them. Even if he occasionally interrupted her, she just pretended not to hear.
Gu Si, who was so angry, said: "..."
Pei Yanning had already taken a stack of documents and spread them out on the coffee table to sort them out. He took the opportunity to glance at Gu Si and said, "You deserve it!"
Pei Yanning, who knew his daughter very well, knew almost immediately what Lingxi's reaction would be when she heard Gu Si's words.
Gu Si: “…”
Gu Si coughed and became a little more serious. He remembered what Lingxi had said before about being scared, and sent a message to Lingxi.
[Gu Si]: Wife, dad and I really didn’t intend to scare you.
Gu Si briefly told Lingxi what had happened during this period.
He and Pei Yanning really had no intention of hiding the secret from her forever, and initially they just planned to delay it.
In fact, he and Pei Yanning had carefully calculated that they would not be imprisoned for long.
There's a steel mill waiting!
Now everything is ready and everything must make way for it.
Preparations for the steel plant must be completed before the beginning of spring, so that ground can be broken in the spring, that is, when a new steel plant is built from scratch. Pei Yanning must be there at that time, and the preparatory work before that will take at least some time, so the most they can do is to be locked up for two months.
According to the pace of him and Pei Yanning, they would delay it for as long as possible. By the time Lingxi knew about it, they might be ready to go back. By then, why would Lingxi need to go back and forth again?
How could they have expected that Jin Qingyao was so capable, and that there was also Lao Hei...
Lingxi said "oh" without any emotion.
understood!
When Gu Si heard this, he felt that something bad was going to happen.
He quickly sent a message to comfort people.
[Gu Si]: Wife, fourth brother is wrong!
[Gu Si]: Wife, please pay attention to me.
Lingxi ignored him. She hadn't eaten yet. Her family knew that Pei Yu would be back in the next few days, so they were waiting for him to have dinner together. It was almost time now.
Gu Si harassed Lingxi for a while, but got no response, so he could only quiet down a bit. He planned to wait until Lingxi went to bed at night and she was alone, then he would talk to her properly.
Lingxi is actually in a good mood at the moment.
Her illness came on strangely. She had been listless and listless before, but after contacting her fourth brother and biological father, she seemed to be cured instantly. She started thinking about sending something to them.
Although they said that food and clothes were distributed, the food was limited and the clothes they wore might not really fit them.
She discussed with Uncle Pei and Grandpa Pei: "Dad and Fourth Brother didn't bring many sets of clothes when they went to the capital, and they didn't eat well under other people's noses. I plan to send some to them."
Uncle Pei nodded: "If you are in a hurry, ask your grandfather to deliver it. If you are not in a hurry, just send it by mail."
The old man took good care of the three little ones while they were eating egg custard. He nodded and said, "Let's send it over."
"Someone will check the items they send, so they don't have to hide them when they use them."
The old man thought for a moment and added, "If you and my grandson-in-law want to write something or give something as a present and you don't want others to see it, Grandpa will give it to you."
Lingxi: “…”
She blushed instantly.
Uncle Pei and his brother Pei Jin laughed out loud.
The old man knows how to joke now. Lingxi coughed and pretended not to understand.
"Then send it over, and also send them some of the food they usually like to eat."
That night, Lingxi was finally alone, and Gu Si's voice rang out again: "You really ignore me, Fourth Brother will be sad.
Lingxi blinked, eh?
She said something was strange. It turned out that the message her fourth brother sent her one night, which was delivered to her via a small communicator sent from afar, was forgotten by her for the time being!
Feeling somewhat guilty, she took out the communicator that Gu Si had given her and looked at the small screen.
There are already many unread messages.
Gu Si was trying to comfort her.
[Gu Si]: Think about it, my dear wife. Apart from being unable to go out and having our yard surrounded on all sides, my dad and I are actually not much different from the work we are doing, which is the content of the meeting I mentioned earlier, right?
[Gu Si]: Don’t worry, my wife. Dad and I are really fine.
My dad and I said that our freedom was restricted, but in fact, we were just following the trend and being locked up for a while.
At that time, my father went to work as the deputy director of a machinery factory, and that was a secret mission.
He got some practical things out of the S countrymen, and this was tacitly approved by his superiors, or in other words, secretly supported by them.
It’s just that the means we used here aren’t so fair, and it’s not nice to say it, so what can we do?
I can only lock up my dad temporarily.
In fact, the reason they took me with them was that they didn't want to waste my dad's time for these few months, and they wanted my dad and I to help them plan and prepare for the steel plant.
When the time comes, you can start working directly after you get out.
They didn't treat us unfairly.
Food, clothing and other necessities are all provided. My father said that wages will still be paid, and they will be compensated when we leave.
Lingxi finally spoke.
"I'm not happy." Her eyes felt a little sore when she said this. Lingxi couldn't help but pull the quilt to rub her eyes.
Gu Si was anxious for a moment, his heart felt like it was being pulled by something, and he wanted to hold her in his arms, but at this moment he couldn't even video chat with her, so he could only comfort her: "I know, I know, my wife is such a good girl, she would be unhappy to hear that her husband and her father had an accident.
This is something that my dad and I don’t agree on.”
Lingxi burst into tears.
Gu Si suddenly felt panicky, and Lingxi's appearance could almost appear in his mind.
Her eyes were as clear and clean as a spring, and when she cried her tears seemed to be free, but they were very beautiful.
But he couldn't bear to do it at all.
Coaxing.
Lingxi controlled her emotions and adjusted herself for a while before she spoke. Although her voice was deliberately restrained, Gu Si still heard something strange.
"I know you are all good to me, and you don't want me to worry, maybe you think that would be better for me.
But even if I know all this, when I think of you all suffering somewhere else while I am eating and drinking at home every day without feeling any sorrow.
I just can’t stand it.”
When she said this, her eyes turned red again.
Gu Si felt distressed and soft-hearted after hearing her words, and he kept coaxing her.
"No, you're fine. You're already very good, dear. It's our fault. Dad and I want you to be happy and worry-free. It's our inconsiderateness. I'll talk to Dad later.
I will discuss similar matters with you in the future, okay?"
Lingxi hummed, yawned and closed her eyes.
