she is sweeter than sugar

"Ah Ci..." The old man didn't answer Gu Ci's question, but stepped forward and lovingly stroked Gu Ci's hair, "Ah Ci is already taller than Grandpa."

"Old man, what are you talking about? Ah Ci is so big now, of course she is taller than us." The old woman cast a reproachful glance at the old man, turned her head, and her eyes fell on Gu Ci again. body.

The faces of the two old men in front of them were the old Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu who raised Gu Ci from childhood.

Everyone in Qiwu Village thought that Mr. and Mrs. Gu had passed away five years ago, but Gu Ci always knew that it was not.

They are still alive, somewhere in Mianzhou.

They haven't seen each other for many years, but they still maintain the faces of 5 years ago. The years seem to have left no trace on their faces.

The two, one on the left and one on the right, pulled Gu Ci into the wooden house behind him.

The furnishings in the wooden house are also the same as those she had on Qiwu Mountain.

Everything is in front of your eyes, but it feels like a world away.

"A Ci hasn't eaten yet, are you hungry?"

The old lady Gu looked at Gu Ci with distressed eyes. She stretched out her hand and caressed Gu Ci's face, "It's a little thinner. I haven't been with your grandfather these few years, and you haven't eaten well. Right? Let your grandpa cook you something you like, it’s not good to be so thin.”

"My cooking skills have improved a lot in the past few years, and I will definitely be able to raise our A Ci back." Mr. Gu said happily, rolled up his sleeves again, and walked into the kitchen.

Although the space in the wooden house is not large, it has everything that should be there.

Gu Ci followed into the kitchen.

There are knives and wooden seasonings on the kitchen counter, and beside it, there is a small bucket, and inside the bucket is a fish that is still alive.

"I caught this this morning, isn't it good, Ah Ci?" Sensing that Gu Ci's gaze fell on the fish, Mr. Gu said with a smile.

Gu Ci nodded, "...very good."

His eyes slid over the fish, scanning it for a week.

Seeing this, Mr. Gu was a little unhappy, he waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, okay, don't look for it, I haven't drank for many years, you can't find the wine jar of."

However, Gu Ci did not speak, but her gaze was fixed on one spot.

Stepping forward, she knocked on the floor of that piece.

Seeing this scene, Mr. Gu's face showed a bit of panic.

He coughed and quickly stopped Gu Ci, "A Ci, come and help me, don't hang around there."

Gu Ci didn't listen to Mr. Gu.

Immediately, she pulled out the floor.

Below, a small space appeared in front of several people.

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Mr. Gu coughed uncontrollably, and couldn't hold back his face.

The old lady Gu laughed angrily, "Okay, old man, he said that he has already quit, but he even hid a can of wine without telling me! Tell me, when did you hide it?"

Mr. Gu repeatedly begged for mercy, "Old lady, don't, the junior is still here, at least give me some face."

"Why didn't you know how to save face when you secretly hid wine?" Mrs. Gu was still furious, but she let go of her hand and didn't grab the old man's arm in front of Gu Ci.

"Hmph, then I'll confiscate this bottle of wine first, and use it to marinate salted duck eggs."

With that said, Mrs. Gu picked up the bottle of wine and put it aside.

Old man Gu's face was full of distress, and he wanted to reach out his hand several times to bring back the bottle of wine, but he didn't dare to move in the end.

Using such good wine to marinate salted duck eggs is a waste of money, it is a waste of money!

Seeing this scene, the corners of Gu Ci's lips couldn't help evoking a slight smile, and Mr. Gu immediately glared at Gu Ci, "Smile and smile, you little girl really...doesn't do anything good."

As soon as these words came out, Mr. Gu was scolded by Mrs. Gu.

"What do you mean by not doing good deeds? Ah Ci found the wine you hid for me. Isn't that a good thing?"

Mr. Gu's face suddenly turned ugly, and he didn't want to say anything more.

He rolled up his sleeves, "A Ci, come here and help me. By the way, let me see if your medical skills have improved over the years."

Hearing this, Mrs. Gu felt disgusted, "Cut vegetables and fish with good medical skills, that's how A Ci was spoiled by you."

Mr. Gu speaks convincingly and is very reasonable, "If you learn a skill and can use it, then call it a skill. This is called applying what you have learned and mastering it!"

"All right, all right, I can't say enough about you," Mrs. Gu shook her head, "A Ci just came back, and I haven't tested her yet, so you can point her out. Let me tell you, what do you want today? Dare to get tired, Ah Ci, let's see if I can take care of you."

Hearing this, Mr. Gu was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, hummed twice, and said reluctantly, "Understood, I have a sense of propriety."

The old lady Gu turned her head to look at Gu Ci, with a kind face again, "A Ci, ignore this old man, don't touch your hands when you're tired, and let him go by himself."

In half an hour, Mr. Gu, with the help of Gu Ci, cooked a table of dishes.

Of course, holding the spoon is something that Mr. Gu does, and what Gu Ci does most is chopping vegetables.

Gu Cidao also wanted to start cooking, but Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu knew Gu Ci's cooking skills deeply, so even if Gu Ci wanted to do it, they were strongly discouraged by the two old people.

The old man and the old lady at the dining table kept holding dishes for Gu Ci.

They are all Gu Ci's favorite food, or in other words, all the dishes on the table today are Gu Ci's favorite food.

There is warmth in old lady Gu's eyes.

"From now on, you will live here with me and your grandfather, and we will never be separated again."

Mr. Gu also sighed, "Yes, we have had difficulties these years, we couldn't reunite with you, and left you there alone, but there will be plenty of time in the future to make up for all the vacancies in these years."

Gu Ci put down her chopsticks at this moment.

She wiped the corner of her mouth, then said slowly, "Thank you for your hospitality, I should go."

Hearing Gu Ci's calm and indifferent words, the smiles on the faces of Mr. and Mrs. Gu disappeared in an instant.

Mr. Gu was puzzled, "Aci, don't you want to stay with us all the time? You want to go, where are you going?"

Gu Ci's eyes fell on the two of them, and he paused every word, "I'm going...to get my grandpa and grandma back."

There was a bit of sadness in the old lady Gu's face, "Aren't we right in front of you now? Where else are you going to find us?"
