Gu Pei reborn

After the water was boiled, Gu Pei poured it into the basin, and put the freshly washed pork ribs on the stove. What's the matter, I have to eat meat on the first day of the new year.

Taking a towel and soaking it in hot water, Gu Pei lifted Chen Yan up, took off his clothes slowly, and covered him with the warm towel before Chen Yan felt cold.Wipe it again and again until the water is not so hot, Gu Pei stopped, put down Chen Yan, and was about to help him get dressed, but Gu Pei found his long eyelashes flickering, Gu Pei smiled, this The child is also shy. "Wake up, just put on your own clothes, I'll pour water." When Gu Pei went out, he finally heard rustling in the room.

Back in the room again, Gu Pei saw Chen Yan, who was neatly dressed, sitting obediently on the bed. When he saw himself entering, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Chen Yan's face, and then he immediately raised his head and called out as if he was fine. Say "Brother Gu Pei".

Gu Pei was amused in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he just asked: "Do you want to sleep for a while?"

"No." Chen Yan shook his head, was silent for a while, then looked up at Gu Pei, "Why are you here today?"

"Grandma's house doesn't have much fun, so I came back early. Who would have thought that as soon as I came back, I saw a red tomato that was watching the Spring Festival Gala and had a fever." Although he said this teasingly, Gu Pei's voice was neither salty nor weak, making a angry look.Although he feels guilty for not taking good care of him, he should be taught a lesson for not caring about his body.

"I'm sorry." Seeing that Gu Pei was angry, Chen Yan lowered his head and said.

"...It's good to know." Seeing Chen Yan bowing his head and admitting his mistake, Gu Pei didn't pursue it anymore. He just said, "The body is not someone else's, so you have to cherish it yourself." As he spoke, Gu Pei approached him, "My face is pale It's beautiful to be rosy, but you are not so good-looking when you are black and rosy." After talking about it, Gu Pei's tone was much more relaxed.Today is the first day of junior high school, so you can't make people unhappy.

Chen Yan touched his face subconsciously, his expression was a little distorted, but the stone in his heart fell.

"Let me see if it's still burning?" Gu Pei put his hand on Chen Yan's forehead, "It's still a little hot, um, now that you're awake, go buy some fever-reducing medicine."

"It will be fine after a night's sleep. You don't need to take medicine." Feeling the comfortable touch on his forehead, Chen Yan first habitually wanted to rub it, and then came back to his senses, trying to avoid it uncomfortably, because the He couldn't help but recall the scene when Brother Gu Pei helped him wipe his body just now.

"It's okay, I'll make you a pot of brown sugar and ginger juice later." Gu Pei didn't force it, anyway, he usually has a cold and just procrastinates, and he will be fine in a few days.

The two of them sat quietly by the fire, listening to the sound of the pot, watching the red coal eyes and the rising smoke, an indescribable feeling of tranquility and happiness spread from the heart to the limbs .

After eating, the two of them cleaned up the pots and bowls, and sat by the stove to chat.The content is mostly interesting stories in the school. He was relieved when he heard Chen Yan talking about the involuntary smiles of his classmates. so sad.

The two of them slept together at night, perhaps because of guilt. This time, before Chen Yan slipped into his arms, Gu Pei hugged the child himself, closed his eyes and talked to Chen Yan one after another. Talk, then slowly fall asleep.

When she woke up the next day, Gu Pei saw Chen Yan's head buried in her neck, and felt itchy on her neck, so Gu Pei hurriedly patted Chen Yan's back.The two of them were busy making money all winter, so let's go out for a stroll today.

This is the first time for Chen Yan to play in the park. Looking at the pirate ship, carousel, rotating plane, roller coaster and other amusement facilities, he can't move his footsteps.

Seeing Chen Yan unconsciously changing his expression following the ups and downs of the roller coaster, Gu Pei felt distressed and funny at the same time.Sure enough, they are children, no matter how mature they are, it is their nature to play around.After thinking about it, Gu Pei took out five yuan and bought a ticket for a rotating plane to Chen Yan, watching Chen Yan being led to the seat by the staff to fasten his seat belt in a daze, and then his body gradually trembling with the rotation of the plane , Gu Pei smiled and waved to cheer him on.Chen Yan is a bold kid, after only one lap, Gu Pei saw the excited smile on his face on the second lap.Looking at Chen Yan's big and undisguised smile in mid-air, Gu Pei hated himself for not having a camera.

In addition to the playground, the two went to the zoo. They fed the pigeons in the square in front of them. Seeing Chen Yan showing a happy smile every time he touched a pigeon, Gu Pei also raised the corners of his mouth. At least at this moment, Chen Yan he Are you really happy?From a distance, smiling at Chen Yan, Gu Pei found that the boy among the pigeons was like a little angel at the moment.

"Hehe, Mom, look at this little brother's expression, he looks like a grandfather." A girl's voice suddenly came from beside him.When Gu Pei tilted his head, he saw a family beside him.It was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl who was talking at this moment. Seeing her smiling and looking at him, Gu Pei knew that what she just said was probably talking about herself.

"What nonsense!" This time it was a hale and hearty old man who spoke. Although his tone was severe, he could still feel a little pampering towards the girl, and he wasn't really angry.

"Why are you talking nonsense, isn't this little brother looking at that child over there in the same way as grandpa, you looked at him at my second uncle's wedding?" the girl retorted with her mouth pouted.

Then everyone in the family laughed except for the old man with a dark face.But Gu Pei only felt a big drop of sweat on his head.Is the way I look at Chen Yan really the "loving" eyes that the elders look at the younger?He felt a little tangled.

"My niece is talking nonsense, kid and don't be angry." At this moment, a man around 40 years old inside said.But judging by his expression, he was not apologizing at all, but making Gu Pei happy. Otherwise, why did he emphasize the word "little friend"?

"Brother Gu Pei? Who are they?" Just as Gu Pei was thinking about how to send the family away, Chen Yan suddenly ran to Gu Pei's side. Although he was asking Gu Pei, his eyes were fixed on the family, and he was still the same. With a defensive face.

"Uh...we just chat casually." Gu Pei explained.

"Oh." Chen Yan looked back and nodded, then pulled Gu Pei, "Let's go there to play, I've never been there before."

"Uh, good." Gu Pei showed an embarrassed smile to the family, and was dragged away by Chen Yan.

"Second uncle, do you think they look like you and aunt? That kid is just like aunt, always showing a look of 'this is my thing, don't steal it'. And the little brother looks at him as a favorite Deathly eyes."

"It seems so." The family nodded in agreement.

Gu Pei, who hadn't gone far, couldn't help but staggered when he heard what they said, and then he looked up and saw Chen Yan's worried eyes. Gu Pei subconsciously smiled at him comfortingly, and then heard behind him "Is it, it seems, it seems" the sound of.

After the new year, everything returned to the usual way. Gu's father came back twice, but it seemed that there was no progress with Gu's mother.It's just that he didn't know that after he left, Gu's mother often came back to take care of Gu Pei. According to Gu's mother, last year she was so angry that she ignored Gu Pei and left him here alone. This year, she has to make up for it.Originally, when Gu Pei heard what his mother said, she thought that she had changed her mind and wanted to give her father a chance, but every time, Gu mother told him not to tell him about her return, and every time she would always be there before his father came back. leave for a day.Gu Pei watched the two hide and seek, feeling a little helpless, and couldn't understand what Gu's mother was thinking. She said it was a divorce, but she didn't mention it, and said it was a reconciliation, but she was hiding again.Gu Pei was worried for a while at first, but later he didn't bother.It wasn't until after the senior high school entrance examination in the second year that Gu Pei figured out Gu Ma's plan.

Gu Pei's high school entrance examination results were among the best in the city, and several private high schools came to Gu Pei's door as expected.In the end, Gu Pei chose a school that would sound familiar to future generations.The benefits given by the school are exemption from tuition and miscellaneous fees for three years, and a living allowance of [-] yuan per month.Of course, the requirement for Gu Pei is that each test must be within the A line, and he cannot transfer schools.

When Gu Pei took the high school entrance examination report card and the high school admission letter to Gu Ma, Gu Ma happily hugged Gu Pei and kissed him twice.After the excitement passed, Gu Ma's face gradually became gloomy.

"You also know that I don't have a good relationship with your father. I didn't divorce because I thought you were young and I was afraid of affecting your grades. Now that you have finished the high school entrance examination and you have chosen a school, I decided to get married with your father in a few days." Divorce." When Gu Ma said this, her tone was very calm, and Gu Pei could tell that this was a decision she had considered for a long time.

"But it doesn't matter if you get divorced. Mom will always love you." Gu Ma said and patted Gu Pei's shoulder lightly. She originally wanted to pat Gu Pei's head, but over the past year, Gu Pei's height Already surpassing him, looking at his son who is becoming more and more masculine, Gu's mother's eyes can't help but get wet.

"...I know." After a long silence, Gu Pei said slowly, although he had expected this situation, but he still felt his throat was dry when he faced it.

"I've talked to your father about this before, and he wants you to follow him. I want to ask your opinion."

"That's it." Gu Pei said softly, if Gu Ma wants to remarry, it would be a burden to bring her along.

"Okay." Gu Ma nodded, and the tears in her eyes could no longer hold back.

"I will be fine in the future." Gu Pei promised.
