Chapter 135 Familiar
Chapter 135 Familiar
Guan Lei was very dissatisfied with this answer. She glanced at Gu Errong, the good-looking but useless man, sneered in her heart, and said, "Sister, you said that we held a banquet at the same time, why didn't you react at all?"
Guan Youshuang was chewing her roujiamo in big mouthfuls, as if she didn't hear anything.
"No wonder. My brother-in-law is often in the county town. You guys are rarely together, so you have fewer opportunities."
Gu Errong couldn't help coughing.
Guan Lei glared at him and thought: Even if I give you a chance, there is no guarantee that you will be able to give birth!
Following this man is the one she failed to become a mother in her previous life.
She smiled pretentiously and said, "Women, the most important thing is to choose a good man."
Guan Youshuang nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes."
In front of Gu Errong, Guan Lei couldn't say anything else. Anyway, she felt that her goal had been achieved, so she said, "Then you guys take your time eating. I'm going to go back to our house and tell our mother the good news. By the way, do you want to bring anything?"
What she originally wanted was that Guan Youshuang buy something for her parents.
Who knows, Guan Youshuang shook her head and said, "No."
"Mom likes to eat stuffed noodles, too. Why don't you bring some for her?"
Guan Youshuang smiled and said, "I don't know what she likes. Aren't you going back? Buy it for her."
Guan Lei's face changed and she said, "Didn't I just say that? I don't have enough money."
"Oh, I don't have enough either. You can buy some for her next time."
"Sister, you..."
Guan Youshuang stuffed the last bite of steamed bun into her mouth and said to Gu Errong, "Let's go and return the cart."
Guan Lei snorted in her heart and turned away.

Guan Youshuang bought some bananas and apples, and Gu Errong carried them.
They came to the entrance of the alley where the old man with popcorn lived.
Just now, Guan Youshuang took a glance and found that the old man was not at the stall today.
There were not many people in the alley, and they soon reached the door.
Guan Youshuang couldn't help but look at the bowl on the wall, which contained a little steamed bun.
The door was closed, so she knocked.
After a while, the old woman came to open the door.
Gu Errong was stunned. Isn’t this the aunt he rescued years ago?
Years ago, he came to the market to buy New Year's goods, and this aunt knelt in the market, crying heart-wrenchingly.
It seems that his son had an accident in the coal mine.
Later, the aunt left, but he was still worried about her, so he followed her.
But she was found about to drink pesticide.
Guan Youshuang interrupted his recollection and said, "Auntie, I'm here to return the cart. Sorry, I wanted to return it earlier, but I've been too busy these past few days."
The old woman remembered Guan Youshuang and the corners of her mouth stretched to the sides, revealing a smile.
"It's okay. We don't need it. Come in and have a drink of water."
After entering, I found the old man making popcorn lying on the kang.
"Auntie, what happened to uncle?"
"I caught a cold last night. I just took some medicine and fell asleep."
"Didn't you go to the health center?"
"It's just a minor cold, nothing serious." The old woman poured water for them.
Gu Errong put the fruit on the table and looked at the enlarged black-and-white photo of his youth, feeling upset.
"I just came to return a cart, why are you spending this money?"
The old woman handed the cup to Gu Errong, was stunned for a moment, and said, "Child, why do I feel that you look familiar? Have we met before?"
The old man pressed his head, as if wondering where he had seen it before.
Gu Errong didn't want to say it because he was afraid of bringing up bad memories for the old man.
He shook his head and said, "No, Auntie, this is my first time here, and it was my wife who asked me to come."
The old woman smiled and said, "That's great, you two have such a good relationship."
The old woman looked at the photo and said to herself, "If my Xiao Wu were still alive, he would probably find a good girl to marry and have children."
Guan Youshuang felt uncomfortable.
The cruelest thing in this world is the death of the young by the old.
She thought of her parents in her previous life and wondered how they were doing.
How she wanted to see them again!
Perhaps noticing her mood change, Gu Errong put his arm around her shoulders.
He just thought she was feeling sorry for the old woman.
Guan Youshuang tried to adjust her mood and said, "Auntie, do you remember what I said last time, that I wanted you to go to our embroidery factory?"
The old woman nodded and said, "Remember the child, but as you can see from this house, my husband and I are both in poor health and won't live for many more years, so we want to stay at home with our son."
"Auntie, please don't say that. My brother in heaven also hopes to see you and uncle live a good life."
"I know I won't commit suicide again. I tried it once years ago, but a boy saved me. He told me that I should live on for the sake of my son."
At this point, the old woman suddenly remembered something, and she grabbed Gu Errong's hand tightly, and said excitedly: "I was wondering why you looked so familiar, and now I remember that you are the boy."
Gu Errong nodded with a smile.
"I have been looking for you at the market for the past six months, but I can't see you. Which village do you live in, kid?"
"Gujiatai."
"Oh, I remember now. Your wife told me last time. Look at my memory. You guys sit down and I'll go cook. I never had the chance to thank you in person. You must stay for dinner today."
As she said this, the old woman prepared to go to the kitchen to cook.
Gu Errong gently pulled her and said, "Don't worry, Auntie. We'll just sit for a while and leave. I'm really happy to see you today. I hope you and uncle will be healthy."
"How can you not eat? You guys sit down for a while. We have some dishes at home. I'll mix some noodles and it will be ready quickly."
"Really, no need, Auntie. My husband works in the county town and has to catch the bus later. We'll come next time."
"You have to catch the bus, so I won't force you to stay." The old woman touched Gu Errong's face like a loving mother and said, "It's great to work in the county town. You look like a promising kid."
"Thank you, Auntie. We'll leave first, and you can have a good rest."
"Let's go, I'll see you off."
"You don't have to come out, just sit down."
"It's okay, I'll just go for a walk."
The old woman walked a few steps and suddenly remembered something. She asked them to wait and opened the cabinet to look for something.
After a while, she pulled out a stack of papers, walked over and handed it to Guan Youshuang, saying, "Child, this is what I drew in the past few days. See if your embroidery factory can use it."
Guan Youshuang flipped through it and was very shocked.
She flipped through it and handed it to Gu Errong to read.
In just a few days, she produced dozens of paintings.
More importantly, there are many painting styles, including flat style, texture style, gradient style, graffiti style, forest style and so on.
Guan Youshuang suspected that the old man might have learned painting.
She racked her brains to recall the plot of the original book.
It’s a pity that such a great person was only mentioned briefly in the book.
"Auntie, have you ever studied painting before?"
