An'an went to the main room and found that Grandma had woken up. With a dazed expression, she came out of the house. An'an supported Grandma to her seat, poured a cup of hot water, and fed it to Grandma.
They originally had a two-bedroom and one-living room house. Because they suddenly added two more people, Gu Wei Qiang set up a partition in the dining area of the main room for Grandma to live in. As for Sun Teacher, she shared a room with Gu Wei Qiang.
An'an and Dongdong's house remained unchanged. If it were someone else, without Mr. Sun's broad-mindedness, they might have thought that this family was bullying the newcomers, but Gu Weiqiang really didn't.
He is a big-hearted man. For Gu Weiqiang, his children come first, followed by Teacher Sun and Grandma, and finally himself.
Teacher Sun has always been very clear about this. It's precisely because she is clear that she doesn't have so many ideas. She understands every person in this family, although Gu Weiqiang may have some personal motives, but overall the direction is not wrong.
Mr. Sun was cooking in the kitchen, Anan was doing her homework in the living room while chatting with Grandma, and Gu Wei had just returned home after a busy day, pushing open the door to see this scene before him.
An'an is doing her homework, occasionally looking up to glance at the old lady. Dongdong and Jiangjiang are copying each other's notes from their textbooks. From the kitchen comes the smell of cooking oil, and Sun Laoshi (Teacher Sun) is wearing an apron, wielding a spatula, obviously making dinner.
At this point, Gu Wei Qiang's heart suddenly felt particularly satisfied for some unknown reason.
He felt that this scene in front of him was warm and cozy. No matter how bitter and tired he was outside, once he returned home, everything would disappear like smoke.
She was still sharp-eyed, and immediately saw Gu Weiqiang. She stood up at once and shouted in a crisp voice, "Dad!" Her shout also attracted the attention of Dongdong and Jiangjiang.
These two kids are much more enthusiastic than An An. They directly threw away their textbooks and rushed towards Gu Wei Qiang like a small cannonball, giving him a warm welcome. Just looking at her own two brothers and father being so affectionate with each other made An An feel a little envious!
But the most satisfied one was Gu Weiqiang, who had great strength. He picked up one in each hand and started rubbing against his two sons, accompanied by a burst of hearty laughter.
Ms. Sun, who was busy in the kitchen, was also attracted over by this. She saw that after Gu Wei Qiang returned, his expression softened a bit, and he greeted her, "Gu Master, you play for a while first, then come help me." Ms. Sun didn't have those thoughts that modern women often think, that men can't enter the kitchen, let alone be ordered around.
"Ah, wife!", Gu Weiqiang responded with a grunt, messing around with his two sons for a bit before washing his hands and heading to the kitchen to help Sun Laoshi. By this time, Sun Laoshi had almost finished cooking and only needed Gu Weiqiang's help with setting the table, while also asking him how his first day back at work was.
She raised her eyelids and asked, "How was your day? Did you adapt?"
At this point, Gu Wei Qiang revealed a smile that was even uglier than crying, shook his head and said, "I'm not used to it. You say I've been driving for over 20 years, and suddenly you want me to pick up a pen and write things? It's really quite difficult for me." Moreover, every day is filled with meetings that can't be finished, receiving different instructions, constantly needing to learn new things, and also having to consider the feedback from the masses below.
But one day, Gu Weiqiang was a bit worried, but thinking of the elderly at home, his wife and children, he gritted his teeth and endured it. The current conditions are much better than when he went to learn driving before.
No need to eat in the wind and sleep in the dew, no risk of life, nor do you have to go out for ten days or half a month. After all, it's an office job, although there are more trivial things, but at least you can go home every day after work, look at your wife and children, and enjoy the warmth of the family. In the past, he wouldn't even dare to dream that one day he, a rough man, would sit in an office, doing practical things for the people, sincerely solving problems.
Upon hearing this, Teacher Sun's heart was somewhat moved. She directly scooped up the food from the pot and said thoughtfully, "From now on, every day after work, take out paper and pen to write down what you handled during the day. After writing it down, go back and look at it again to see where you can improve and where you can add more." This position is not easy to do, Teacher Sun had always understood that.
Secretary Ding has already agreed to let Gu Wei Qiang do it, so he must have his reasons. Teacher Sun doesn't think that he has such a big face to make Secretary Ding change his principles and practice nepotism. With Secretary Ding's temperament, this is impossible in this lifetime.
After hearing Mr. Sun's suggestion, Gu Wei's brain turned around and immediately felt that the proposal was good. Compared with other office staff, he was a latecomer after all, and many things were not moving. Now it was in the process of exploration. If he could take notes every day and record the things handled during the day, he would be able to thoroughly familiarize himself with all the procedures and handling methods within a month.
Gu Wei Qiang suddenly stretched out his hand and picked up Sun teacher, laughing loudly, "Wife, you are really my lucky star." Gu Wei Qiang was speaking from the heart, since Sun teacher came to their home, he felt that his luck had improved a lot.
Things are getting much better than before.
Master Sun's eyes widened and he patted Gu Weiqiang's shoulder with both hands, "Gu Master, be serious, the kids are all watching in the main room!"
Gu Wei Qiang rarely showed off his rogue side, teasing, "Hmph! I'm very serious, besides, we're their parents, they'll be happy to see us being affectionate."
After finishing, he turned his head to look at Anan. Anan, who was secretly watching and listening, was caught red-handed. Fortunately, Anan had strong psychological quality and quickly nodded, "Dad! Seeing that you and Mom's relationship is good, we can rest assured. As for other things, we didn't hear or see anything, so just pretend we don't exist."
Although the last sentence was not spoken, how could Teacher Sun not understand with her intelligence? She pushed Gu Wei Qiang and complained, "Hurry up and let me out, don't make a fool of yourself in front of the kids."
Gu Weiqiang reluctantly let go and started carrying the dishes out.
An'an also didn't do his homework, came out to help, and there were also Dongdong and Jiangjiang, two little kids who were having a great time. They knew that the whole family was together, and when they returned home in the evening, their mouths were stretched all the way back to their ears.
For dinner, Teacher Sun made a braised pork belly with green beans and a tofu egg drop soup. The portions were generous, as there were many people at home, so she used large bowls for each dish. Later, she also brought out five or six pancakes, which were so filling that one could make you full.
Like Dongdong and Jiangjiang, those little kids basically shared a pancake between the two of them, each had a bowl of soup, ate some dishes, and at night their bellies were all swollen and round.
