Gu Weiqiang was called to the window by Gu Huazi, and the two brothers were talking about their inner thoughts. It was obvious that most of it was said by Gu Huazi, while Gu Weiqiang listened honestly. He didn't reveal any news to Gu Huazi from the beginning, which was indeed his fault.
But at that time, there was also a reason! Teacher Ding had not yet restored her female identity, and the messy account between him and Tang Lanzhi had not been cleared up yet!
After Gu Weiqiang comforted Gu Huazi, he finally sat down at the table. Unlike usual, when he would sit directly with Gu Huazi, today there was Teacher Ding, so this meal could be considered an introduction of Teacher Ding to everyone.
Get familiar with each other first.
Old Master Lang and Grandma sat in the front row. Under Grandma was Teacher Ding, while Old Master's lower side was Lu Yan. Further down were Anan and her two siblings. As for Aunt Juxiang and Xiaxia, they sat close to Anan, and the position by the door was left for Gu Weiqiang and Gu Huazi.
Gu Wei Qiang didn't sit down either, and directly picked up the wine cup on the table. It wasn't a burning knife, but rather the yellow wine that An An had specifically bought from the winemaking master earlier. There was still quite a bit left at home!
After Gu Weiqiang stood up, the others at the table also followed suit, and Anan was no exception. Due to the incident that happened last time when Anan got drunk with Huangjiu, everyone's cups were filled with Huangjiu except for Anan's, which was filled with plain water. It was clear that Anan had been banned from drinking at home.
An'an wanted to resist, but he was powerless and his resistance was ineffective. None of the people at the table were willing to let An'an drink, not even Lu Yan, who had taken advantage of him last time. It was clear that if it were just him alone, he would be willing, but with so many eyes watching, Lu Yan threw away the thoughts in his mind and honestly poured another glass of plain water for An'an.
An An smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Yan." Her behavior made the elders around her laugh. Fortunately, An An was not a vengeful person, and just like the weather, which was cloudy in the morning but sunny in the afternoon.
Gu Wei coughed and said, "I'm still her old father!" And yet he was teasing his daughter like this.
Everyone was delighted to see Lu Yan collect himself, and then he spoke up. "I'm thrilled that everyone could make it today," said Gu Wei Qiang with a smile. "We're all friends gathered around the dinner table, so let me introduce you." He walked over to Teacher Ding's side, beaming with joy. "Since we're all familiar with each other, I'll get straight to the point! This is... um..." His tongue curled up and he swallowed his words before continuing. "This is Sun Hongmei, my future wife and the mother of my three kids. Today, I've gathered everyone together, so let's all get acquainted."
The first time he encountered such a situation, especially when Gu Wei Qiang said the word "wife" from his mouth, Mo Nan's body had an inexplicable urge to smoke, let alone his face, which was a deep red.
Could have stunned Gu Weiqiang into stupidity.
Miss Ding raised her wine glass, also toasted everyone, neat and efficient, "I'll drink it first." She didn't say much else, whether good or bad, it will be clear later. What she said was good, but not as good as doing something practical later, for everyone to see.
She also counts as someone who knows, can sit at this table, but they are not outsiders! Counted as people recognized by Gu Weiqiang's side, now she has let the Gu family accept herself, and this table is the same, from now on! She also needs to be recognized by everyone.
An An saw Teacher Ding like this, smiling all the way, she felt that Teacher Ding's change was huge! When she first met Teacher Ding, he would secretly come to the county town to sell rice. At that time, after delivering the rice to Teacher Ding, she was anxious for a long time and couldn't say a word. At that time, his face was serious, and now his face is full of smiles, the difference is too big!
If it weren't for her knowing, Teacher Ding would be just Sun Hongmei, and she probably wouldn't have recognized him at all!
Teacher Ding's character has always been straightforward, and her blunt words also gave everyone at the table a good impression. As for Lang Lao Ye Zi and Lu Yan, they are considered outsiders, while Gu Wei Qiang's wife is okay as long as she is not of poor quality.
But Gu Huazi and his family were different, they had grown up together since childhood, and with the previous incident involving Tang Lanzhi, to a certain extent, Gu Huazi's family was equivalent to being Anan's relatives.
Gu Weiqiang saw that Teacher Ding was so generous, he couldn't be outdone. He also picked up his cup and downed it in one gulp. Smiling, he said, "Now that everyone knows each other, let's eat, eat!"
"Qiangzi, your eyes are really good!", but actually, from a man's perspective, Teacher Ding's conditions in all aspects are considered top-notch, especially since Gu Weiqiang also got along with Gu Huazi, he had an idea in his mind.
Gu Hua Zi praised Gu Wei's good eyesight, which indirectly complimented Teacher Ding's good teaching.
The whole table was filled with laughter, even Grandma was in high spirits, looking radiant. Teacher Ding kept scooping meat from the pot for Grandma, who devoured it all, leaving not a single piece behind. What an old child! At this age, people are just like kids - eating alone is no fun and you can't eat much, but with a lively crowd around, oh boy! They ate quite a bit! Even Lang Lao's appetite was greatly stimulated.
As for An, it was even more beautiful. It can be said that everyone at the table was taking care of her. Jiangjiang and Dongdong, two little kids, repeatedly scooped dishes from the pot to give to An. Lu Yan stretched out his arm, carefully removing the fish bones and placing them in An's bowl.
The whole journey made Ban Xia stare in amazement, as if she had discovered an incredible secret! An An's concealment was really deep.
Strictly speaking, Anan and Luyan have not formally established a relationship yet. It seems somewhat inappropriate for Luyan to openly pick out the fish bones for Anan in front of everyone, but what can you do? Luyan is willing to do so, and no one can stop him anyway.
Of course, Gu Weiqiang was an exception. When he saw the clean fish pieces in An An's bowl, his heart suffered a million points of damage. This old father still wanted to please his daughter like this.
He handed over his bowl with a serious tone, "An An, eat the fish I deboned for you, it's delicious!", before An An could refuse, he directly swapped the bowl in front of An An to his own side, and as for the fish inside, he swallowed it in one bite, still not forgetting to glance at Lu Yan with a provocative gaze, as if saying "don't flirt with my daughter".
The whole process was done in one breath, leaving everyone at the table stunned.
Even Gu Huazi gave a thumbs up to Gu Weiqiang, "Awesome." As someone who's been through it all, he could clearly see the affection in Anan's eyes for that young man. They were old acquaintances, and if you set aside their family relationship, Lu Yan and Anan really did match well together.
