I Have Decided to Go Look for My Father - Chapter 88

Gu Xi made an amulet for everyone in Gu’s family. When the elder aunt asked her to help her hang the small blessing pendant, Gu Xi hung the amulet made by her on everyone’s door handle, as did Gu Shao.

The present one is a New Year gift specially prepared by Gu Xi for Gu Shao.

When Gu Shao saw Gu Xi jump out of the bed barefoot, his temples jumped.

“Put on shoes.” Gu Shao reminded.

“Um, okay.” Gu Xi put on her shoes, ran to her desk, and found out the present she had prepared for Gu Shao from the drawer.

——A very delicate red gift box with a few golden blessings printed on it.

“Dad, Happy New Year!” Gu Xi said as he passed the gift box in front of Gu Shao.

“What is it?” A smile flashed in Gu Shao’s eyes, and he looked at Gu Xi and asked.

Based on his knowledge of Gu Xi, it is estimated that preparing such a gift of’spending a huge sum of money’ will make this girl painful for a long time.

“New Year’s special gift, you will know when you open it.” Gu Xi said with a smile.

Hearing this, Gu Shao opened the box.

What catches the eye is a festive red.

There were three things in the box: a red towel, red socks, and a pair of red underwear.

There is also a yellow and the same word’Fu’ on the packaging printed on everything, besides.

Gu Shao: “…”

“This is specially used for the New Year, it can keep you safe!” Gu Xi blinked and looked at Gu Shao, and then said solemnly.

This gift was bought by Gu Xi at the mall before the holiday. She said she wanted a meaningful gift, and the clerk recommended her this “New Year Three-Piece Set”.

“Dad, what do you think?”

Meeting Gu Xi’s expectant gaze, Gu Shao twitched the corner of his mouth. He couldn’t say ‘good-looking’ against his will, so he replied vaguely: “Yes.”

“Really?” Gu Xi asked back. How did she feel that Gu Shao’s expression was a bit solemn?

Seeing the expression on Gu Shao’s face, Gu Xi became a little nervous.

“Yeah,” Gu Shao replied, and then said, “It’s good for New Year’s use. It’s very festive.”

Hearing this, Gu Xi smiled: “Hey, I think too.”

“And this sock has a mystery.” As Gu Xi said, she took out the pair of red socks from the box and showed it to Gu Shao like a treasure.

It turns out that in addition to the word’Fu’ embroidered with yellow thread on the ankle position of the socks, there are also words under the feet of the socks. The left one is ‘Satisfaction is always happy’ and the right one is ‘Good luck’.

——Daughter is her own, socks bought by her…

After Gu Shao’brainwashed’ himself several times in his heart, he finally did not show any disgust with the pair of socks, and took the New Year’s gift from Gu Xi with a calm expression on his face.

“Go to sleep.”

“Okay.” The gift was delivered, and Gu Xi got into the bed contentedly and went to bed obediently.

——

Gu Shao stayed by the side until Gu Xi fell asleep.

Gu Shao straightened out the pieces that fell on Gu Xi’s face to her earrings, and then gently rubbed Gu Xi’s head before he finally couldn’t help but whispered: “Little money fan, what’s in the head? What do you want?”

The ‘New Year’s three-piece suit’, too, is too bad for Gu Xi to figure it out.

Gu Shao is sure that this New Year gift will definitely not exceed 200 yuan.

Isn’t this girl trying to save money?

Gu Shao raised his eyebrows and said inwardly.

It seemed that Gu Shao’s palm made him feel a little uncomfortable. In his sleep, Gu Xi frowned disgustingly, and then raised his hand and waved Gu Shao’s hand away.

Gu Shao retracted his hand and took out another bracelet from his pocket to tie it to Gu Xi’s wrist.

This is a bracelet woven with red cords. Apart from the delicate and special weaving technique, there is nothing special about it.

This red bracelet was given by a master from a nearby temple when Gu Shao went to inspect a project in Gu’s house a year ago.

Gu Shao originally didn’t believe this, but when the other party left, he murmured, “The past disappears, and the future is peaceful.” This made Gu Shao subconsciously think of Gu Xi.

The nightmare Gu Xi had in his mouth, Gu Xi’s fear of the Lin family, his fear of Gu Yaobai, and the anonymous email that was secretly sent to him recording Xie Hongbo’s affairs.

No matter how Gu Xi knows these things, Gu Shao hopes that those unpleasant things can stay away from Gu Xi.

“As long as you grow up happily.” Gu Shao rubbed Gu Xi’s head again and whispered.

Until Gu Xi resentfully opened Gu Shao’s hand again.

Gu Shao retracted his hand and covered Gu Xi’s quilt again before turning around and leaving the room.

——

Gu Shao returned to his room and looked down and saw his doorknob. In addition to a small ‘Fu’ sign for New Year’s decorations, there was also a dark red sign.

Gu Shao placed the small listing in his palm.

The listing is not big, except for the different colors, the others are the same as the amulet Gu Xi gave to Gu Yanlin and the others.

It’s just that Gu Shao has a character’Shao’ stitched on this one. It seems that the stitching method is a bit rusty, but he is very careful.

In addition to this, Gu Shao also found a small word “pity” in the corner of the amulet. It was embroidered with a thread similar to the background color. If you don’t look carefully, it will be difficult to find.

Gu Shao gave a low laugh, took the amulet from the doorknob, and put it in his close-fitting clothes pocket.

——

Early the next morning.

Gu Xuan was sitting in the living room and saw Gu Shao coming downstairs. He was stunned: I don’t know if it’s his illusion. He always feels that today’s second child is a bit wrong? If you have to say something, you just don’t know where, and there is always a sense of unspeakable violation.

Gu Xuan stared up and down at Gu Shao for a few seconds, and finally let him discover the place that violated the peace-the pair of red socks on his feet.

Gu Shao usually dresses in a more serious and deep style, even in casual clothes at home.

Suddenly there was a pair of red socks on my feet, which was quite conspicuous.

Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows, stared at Gu Shao’s red socks for a few more times, half-jokingly said, “Second brother, you have a very unique pair of socks today.”

Yes, it’s chic!

Except for Chic, Gu Xuan can’t think of any better words for the time being.

He really didn’t expect that his second brother, such a person, would actually get himself a pair of red socks to put it on.

He would definitely not wear it anyway.

Gu Xuan muttered variously in his mind.

At this moment, Gu Shao looked over, glanced at Gu Xuan, and said as usual, “I bought it with regret.”

The four plain words don’t have any ups and downs, but they can always make people hear a kind of ostentation.

Gu Xuan: “…” I feel offended.

What to do, he wants it too!

——

On the third day of the new year, the Gu family members are already busy: in addition to entertaining the people who come to visit the New Year, the adults are also busy walking their friendships.

And Old Man Gu didn’t have any idle time, and began to take Gu Xi, Gu Yanxiao and Gu Chenyi to the homes of his friends to pay New Year’s greetings.

In the words of Mr. Gu, it is: “What do you do at home, eat and drink from morning to night, and you will get fat and become a pig when school starts. Go for a walk and get some breath.”

The father’s words are very reasonable, but Gu Xi and the others feel that their grandfather takes them out to show off a little more.

——

There are not many people visited by Mr. Gu with the three of Gu Xi, but they are all aristocratic families who have a deep friendship with the Gu family.

And the first one they visited was the Shen family.

The Shen family has a longer past history than the Gu family. There are many collaterals in the Shen family, but there are not many people in the master family in the life of the old man.

Seeing that Mr. Gu came with Gu Xi and the three of them, Mr. Shen looked very happy.

Gu Xi had just stepped into the door of Shen’s house with their front feet, and in the next second they were stuffed with a big red envelope by Mr. Shen alone.

In addition to Mr. Shen’s, Gu Xi and the others also received red envelopes from Shen Ye, as well as red envelopes from Sheng Yi and Shen Yi and his wife who had just returned from the Sheng family when they returned to City B from the camp.

“What are you doing so politely?” Mr. Gu waved his hand and said.

“What’s so polite, it’s all right,” Mr. Shen smiled and said again: “It’s you, come here, how can you bring so many things.”

As he spoke, Mr. Shen glanced at the gift Mr. Gu brought to his New Year’s visit: Good fellow, no less than the one he sent to Gu’s family on the 30th day of the new year.

Elder Gu glanced at Elder Shen, smiled, and calmly said: “What’s more, it’s just so.”

On the thirtieth day, Mr. Shen sent those things to Gu’s house. Mr. Gu took a special look at them. There were quite a few good things there.

Although for the time being I can’t figure out when this stingy old man Shen Hongshi became so generous.

However, since the other party had all lost the money, Father Gu naturally couldn’t let himself lose.

The two old men smiled, but their eyes were secretly struggling.

It’s just that the ‘comparison’ between these two people has just begun from this day.

——

Ignoring the thoughts of the two old men and their fights, Shen Yi and the others have led Gu Xi and the three of them into the house.

Knowing that the Gu family was coming, the Shen family began to make preparations early in the morning.

The meal has not yet arrived, but a large table of exquisite snacks has been prepared on the table.

“You come to eat something first, as well as a small statement, and entertain the guests.” Shen Yi led Gu Xi to the table and said with a smile on his face.

“Okay, thank Aunt Shen.” Gu Xi thanked the other party, looking at Shen Yi with a little surprise.

Before, when she was at home, Gu Xi had heard from her eldest aunt and they talked about the two children of Mr. Shen’s house.

Originally, after hearing Wang Pei’s description, before meeting Shen Yi, Gu Xi thought that the other party was a woman with a fierce personality, but she did not expect that she was so gentle.

Hearing Gu Xi’s sweet thanks to herself, the smile on Shen Yi’s face widened again.

Looking at the dull gourd-like son aside, Shen Yi’s smile stiffened a bit.

“Not cute at all.” Shen Yi secretly spit out his son.

——Not angry, she is a kind mother.

Shen Yi smiled again, said a few words with Gu Xi, and left the space for communication to these children of the same age.

——

Although he left, sitting not far away, Shen Yi’s eyes still kept peeking at Gu Xi from time to time.

“It was true that my daughter looks like my dad!” Shen Yi said to Sheng Yi aside with a bit of surprise.

She once wondered if she would give birth to a daughter who would look like Sheng Yi, but she would only give birth to a son.

No, it should be said that fortunately, he is a kid, it doesn’t matter if he looks like anyone.

“You see Xixi looks much like Gu Shao.”

Sheng Yi nodded aside: “It’s quite alike.”

After that, Sheng Yi glanced at Shen Yi again, and said: “If you are so envious, why don’t we respond to the policy and have another one?”

Hearing this, Shen Yi was taken aback, glanced at Sheng Yi, and refused without even thinking: “Forget it.”

Gu Xi looks like Gu Shao, so she looks good.

If they had a daughter who looked like Sheng Yi…

Shen Yi didn’t dare to think.

It’s not that Sheng Yi is not good-looking, it’s just that Sheng Yi has that kind of big facial features, relatively rough and solemn, and really not suitable for girls.

“But, unfortunately, I really look so cute.” It’s hard to not be envied.

Shen Yi sighed again.

Sheng Yi also echoed: “It is true, but there are also some worrying ones.”

“What’s wrong?” Shen Yi asked.

“I’m so pretty. It’s so hiring.” Sheng Yi and Shen Yi talked about the topic they talked about when they met Gu Shao the last time they participated in the’Young Creative Competition’ with Sheng Xiuyan.

“Although Gu Shao didn’t admit it, I can see that he was worried about his daughter’s premature love. Haha, he also said that he would interrupt the other dog’s legs.” Sheng Yi laughed.

Shen Yi nodded in agreement: “It should be done this way.”

After a pause, Shen Yi asked in astonishment: “Our Xiaoyan also went to the competition with Xixi?”

“Yes, I got the prize.”

Hearing this, Shen Yi’s eyes flashed with pride: “Not bad, not bad.”

With that, Shen Yi was stunned suddenly: “No.”

“What’s wrong?” Sheng Yi asked.

“Look, our Xiaoyan still has a pity, isn’t there something wrong between the two of them?” Shen Yi pointed to Sheng Xiuyan and Gu Xi who were not far away, and whispered.

“What’s wrong? Isn’t it good?” Sheng Yi said, looking at the children who were eating on the table in a harmonious atmosphere.

“No! Didn’t you find out? Although they were chatting, our son and Xixi did not communicate during the whole process. Aren’t the two of them classmates?” They also participated in the competition together, logically speaking, no There shouldn’t even be a sentence of communication from beginning to end.

Hearing what his wife said, Sheng Yi also noticed something was wrong.

“It shouldn’t be…” Sheng Yi whispered: “It was fine last time.”

The couple didn’t know. At this time, Gu Xi and Sheng Xiuyan didn’t speak because of the embarrassment caused by the “Tree Hole Incident”. Seeing that the two children were not getting along well, they both became nervous.

“Husband, you said–could it be that the two of them had a conflict in school? Or our son bullied others.” Shen Yi guessed with a worried face on his face.

A few years ago, during the Chinese New Year, several cousins ​​of Sheng Xiuyan who had collaterals came over, and he cried unceremoniously. Sheng Yi nodded his head with stern expression and said with a grim expression: “There is such a possibility.”

Shen Yi frowned, and he started to make up for 100 reasons for the conflict between the two families: “This won’t work, not to mention the relationship between our two families is like this, the two of them should be classmates and they should get along well. Moreover, Sheng Xiu said that if there is any contradiction between a boy, it should be a girl!”

“Okay, okay, let’s not talk about it, we can teach him a lesson later.”

——

So, after Gu’s family left in the evening, Sheng Yi and his wife called Sheng Xiuyan to the study with serious faces and began to interrogate.

“What are you going to say?” Sheng Xiuyan asked, standing calmly in front of Sheng Yi and Shen Yi.

Originally, he thought that these two people just came back for a short time, so he planned to take this opportunity to ask him to say a few words to make up for the usual lack of ‘compulsory education’.

As a result, Sheng Xiuyan was wrong, and Shen Yi’s first sentence was: “Are you at odds with Xixi?”

Upon hearing this, Sheng Xiuyan was stunned.

“No.” Sheng Xiuyan retorted subconsciously.

“Really?” Shen Yi’s eyes were sharp at this time, and he was not gentle at all.

“Really,” Sheng Xiuyan said, paused, and then muttered: “How can I have a conflict with her.”

At most, it’s just occasional contests, who scores higher than those who do the homework first.

Shen Yi still didn’t believe it: “Then I ask you, it’s a pity that they came to our house today, why didn’t you and her say a word?”

Sheng Xiuyan didn’t expect his mother to observe so carefully. Suddenly, her expression became stiff and she was speechless.

“I, we…In short, we didn’t have any conflicts, it’s because you think too much.”

“Then why don’t you speak?”

Sheng Xiuyan: “…” Because of embarrassment.

Sheng Xiuyan said nothing.

I can’t let him tell them that at first he treated Gu Xi as a like-minded guy he didn’t know on the Internet, and he had a fierce output with the other party, and then he lost his character after losing the horse, right? Then, Gu Xi treated him as a “Dead Tree Hole” with a 99 output. He accidentally exposed the stuffing, right?

What do you want him to say? It’s embarrassing to think about it.

“Anyway, we have a good relationship, you don’t have to worry about it.” After that, Sheng Xiuyan turned and left.

The walk was clean and tidy, except for the red ears that looked a bit contrary.

“Don’t let me talk…” Seeing Sheng Xiuyan walk away quickly, Shen Yi complained to Sheng Yi dissatisfiedly: “Why I haven’t come back for a few months? I feel that there is a generation gap with my son. It’s not so good anymore.”

Sheng Xiuyan’s minor anomaly was unexpected by Shen Yi.

Suddenly thinking of something, Shen Yi squeezed Sheng Yi’s hand: “Husband, do you think it is possible…”

“What is possible?” Sheng Yi asked.

Shen Yi shook his head, “Forget it, it’s useless to tell you.”

——

At night, it was very late. Seeing that Shen Yi was still holding his mobile phone and attentively not knowing what he was looking at, Sheng Yi called the other party.

“It’s so late, what are you looking at?”

“Look at insurance.” Shen Yi replied while quickly browsing the sharing of parents in the education forum.

Sheng Yi was surprised after hearing this: “What kind of insurance? Do you want to buy insurance?”

“I didn’t buy it.”

“Then what are you?”

“Show your son a personal insurance.” Shen Yi said blankly: “It’s best to have a higher insurance premium, the one that can be compensated even if you lack arms or legs.”

Sheng Yi:? ? ?

——

The good times are always very short. If it weren’t for Dong Mingming’s call to ask her to go to the dessert shop and prepare her holiday homework for ‘reference’, Gu Xi didn’t even realize that school was about to start.

However, the start of school this time is not the same as before.

Because the final exam last semester was a city-wide unified exam, the city-wide ranking was required. Therefore, the exam results were not announced before the holiday.

Therefore, this time, the day before the school starts, the school arranges not the heart-warming education class, but the school-wide parent meeting.
