Chapter 380: Appearance comes from the heart, not like, not like at all

~8 min read 1,553 words

Gu Tingchen rode his bike home. When he returned to the Railway Bureau family compound, many people took the initiative to greet him—

"Director Gu, you're back."

"Hmm, Auntie Qian, take it slow. I remember you have an old problem with your legs. I'll bring you a plaster to stick on in a few days. Let's see if it works well, and if it does, I'll bring you more next time."

"Hey, then many thanks, Director Gu."

"Auntie Qian, when my sister and I first moved here, you were the first to take care of us. Just call me Little Gu, calling me Director is too distant."

"Fine, fine, fine, Little Gu."

"Uncle Gu, Uncle Gu, when I grow up, can I be a train conductor?"

"Hmm, that depends on whether you study hard?

If you can get into high school, after graduating from high school, you will be qualified to apply for a train conductor."

"Fine, fine, fine, I want to study hard, I want to get into high school."

"Xiao Gang, now that universities are open, if you can get into high school, study hard and get into university too. By then, don't say being a train conductor, even applying for a train captain is possible."

"Okay, thank you Uncle Gu, I will definitely work hard!"

Xiao Gang's grandparents were all smiling, looking at Gu Tingchen with gratitude.

A child's temperament is not fixed. Once a child is interested in a certain thing and gets the right guidance, they will go all out and walk firmly towards this goal!

So Gu Tingchen's words were undoubtedly the best guidance for their grandson.

Great kindness doesn't need thanks. In the future, as long as there is a need for help, their family will definitely help.

Gu Tingchen waved his hand and pushed his bike towards home.

In everyone's eyes, he was gentle and humble, sitting in the position of director at a young age, young and promising, with an immeasurable future.

Gu Tingchen first pushed his bike home, saw the nanny playing with his daughter, walked over, handed a bag of grapes to the nanny, and said:

"Trouble Auntie Wang, wash them clean with flour. I'll send the other bag of grapes to the Liu family first, and I'll be back in a while."

"Okay, sir."

Auntie Wang respectfully took the bag of grapes, looked closely, good fellow, it was quite heavy!

It was estimated to be two or three catties, the size was very large, and the fragrance of grapes could be smelled through the bag.

"Daddy! Hug!"

The well-fed and chubby little one, Gu Yun Lan, also known as Nannan, saw her father return and reached out for a hug.

Perhaps it was the accumulation of companionship, now she could distinguish people a little, and her attitude towards her father had a 360-degree turn.

"Fine, daughter, come, come, come, sit on Daddy's shoulder, Daddy will take you to Auntie's house to find your cousin to play."

Gu Tingchen was happy to see his daughter wanting to be close to him, without any thoughts of valuing boys over girls. He still liked his daughter very much.

To be precise, as long as it was his seed, he definitely liked it. If his grandfather was still alive, his grandfather would definitely like Nannan very much too.

"Giggle."

"Fly."

Gu Tingchen carried his daughter and left home with a bag of grapes. Auntie Wang glanced at the sir's back and withdrew her gaze.

Still the same sentence, the one who paid her salary was the wife, not the sir.

The sir had a green hat on his head, what did it have to do with her?

Even if the sir and the wife divorced in the future, she would still follow the wife.

Nannies had to have discernment, tight mouths, and not talk nonsense to be reused by their employers.

She glanced at the wall clock; in another half hour, the wife would be back too. She had to cook dinner now, otherwise, it would be too late.

On this side, Gu Tingchen carried his daughter all the way from home to his sister's house, meeting many retired old cadres on the way, and he chatted with them with a smile, his attitude was gentle, making him look very approachable.

It's just that he didn't know that after he left, an old man's eyes flashed with golden light, playing with a pair of walnuts in his hand, and said with a half-smile:

"Appearance comes from the heart, not like, not like at all."

Someone heard it and didn't understand, and just wanted to ask, but the old man playing with walnuts had already walked far away.

Arriving at his sister's house, his brother-in-law was playing with mud in the corner of the courtyard with his nephew.

Immediately, Gu Tingchen's eyes turned cold, and his expression was not very good as he stepped forward—

"Xiong Ying, Xiao Jie is still young, you can't take him to play with mud, there are many bacteria in it."

"Big brother, Nannan play together, play together, fun."

Liu Xiongying didn't understand what bacteria were at all, only knew that playing with mud was fun, his son liked to play, and he liked to play, so they played together.

"Don't touch Nannan, your hands are full of mud, dirty.

Go wash, and hold Xiao Jie to wash too.

Sigh, is there no one at home?

Where are Uncle Liu and Auntie Liu?"

Gu Tingchen had a little bit of mysophobia, declined his brother-in-law's kindness, and signaled his sister to hold her nephew and go wash together, otherwise, their hands and faces would be full of bacteria, and eating grapes would lead to bacteria entering their mouths.

"Mom and Dad went to a banquet, let me take good care of Xiao Jie at home."

Now Liu Xiongying's IQ was equivalent to a child of ten to twelve years old, he could express simply, and could distinguish good from evil.

Although his brother disliked him for being dirty, he knew his brother had no malice and was still concerned about their father and son.

"Then are you hungry? How about coming to my house to eat first?"

Gu Tingchen loved the house and its crow. Although this brother-in-law was a fool, after all, it was he who personally pushed his sister to the Liu family to be a daughter-in-law. It was his brother who was not competent.

Things had come to this, he had nothing to argue about.

What he could do was try his best to make up for his sister and brother-in-law, treating his nephew as his own son, treating him the same as his daughter, without distinguishing between close and distant.

"Thank you brother, I have biscuits, I will brew milk for Xiao Jie to drink, we wait for Mom and Dad, wait for Yinyin to come home."

Liu Xiongying smiled brightly, he knew his brother didn't really dislike him, and was still very concerned about him.

"Fine, I saw someone selling grapes on the side of the road, they looked big and sweet, so I sent a bag to you.

You go wash first, I'll wash the grapes, you try them.

By the way, Xiao Jie is still young, can't eat a whole one, he will choke."

Gu Tingchen patiently demonstrated to his brother-in-law, and at the same time stood at the water faucet in the courtyard, turned on the switch, washed a grape, then broke it, broke off a piece of fruit flesh the size of a fingernail, and stuffed it into his nephew's mouth, signaling his nephew to chew slowly.

The little guy saw it was his uncle and cousin, very happy.

Uncle said don't play with mud, so he stood up obediently, walked tremblingly to his father's side, and lined up with his father to wash the mud off his hands.

When his uncle stuffed a piece of fruit flesh into his mouth, he chewed and chewed subconsciously, the more he chewed the sweeter it was, he liked it very much.

"Daddy, I want to eat too."

Nannan saw it and couldn't help but tug on her father's ear, she wanted to eat too, she wanted to eat too.

Gu Tingchen smiled dotingly, slowly squatted down, put his daughter down, and then stuffed a piece of fruit flesh to his daughter.

"Uncle, I want."

Xiao Jie saw it and couldn't help but act coquettish, opening his mouth wide "ah, ah, ah."

Gu Tingchen didn't favor one over the other, and was very patient with his nephew.

Just like that, while Liu Xiongying was washing his hands and face, Gu Tingchen was feeding his daughter and nephew slowly.

This scene, falling into the eyes of Father Liu and Mother Liu who were rushing back with big bags and small bags, seemed exceptionally warm.

Father Liu felt mixed feelings in his heart. To be honest, after he stepped down, some people ridiculed him, saying he didn't pave the way for his own son, or his own nephew, but instead paved the way for an outsider, his brain was squeezed by the door.

He was actually just gambling, gambling on Gu Tingchen's conscience.

Now it seemed, he didn't seem to have gambled wrong.
