Seeing her silence, Gu Jingxi didn't know whether she liked it or not. He felt a little uneasy for no reason. He sighed silently in his heart again. It was really not easy to raise a little girl. There were a lot of things to worry about.

He opened his mouth to break the silence: "If Madam doesn't like it, then I can buy other snacks next time?"

The man's voice was gentle and soft, with a hint of coaxing a child.

Meng Jinyao came back to her senses, glanced at the snacks in her hand, and then looked up at Gu Jingxi. The man still looked gentle and peaceful. She stared directly into his eyes, but she didn't see what was described in the script. This kind of affectionate love does not have that infatuated feeling.

She silently withdrew her gaze, feeling that she was really being pretentious, thinking too much, and feeling a little lost for no reason.

Gu Jingxi saw how her expression changed, but she didn't speak to him, so he asked again, "Madam, you don't like it?"

Meng Jinyao shook her head slightly: "No, I quite like Yipinzhai's lotus cakes. There are so many dim sum shops in the capital, and I think their lotus cakes are the most delicious."

Gu Jingxi asked again: "Then why are you still depressed?"

Meng Jinyao casually found an excuse to put it off: "It's okay, I just think of my grandfather. When he was still alive, he would occasionally buy Yipinzhai snacks for me during holidays."

It was obviously just an excuse, but when she mentioned it, her mind still couldn't help but think of her grandfather, and the scene where he bought her snacks and came back immediately after the break to coax her to play.

She was so hopeless that her eyes were red and moist.

Seeing this, Gu Jingxi was slightly startled. He had no experience in coaxing people, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.

He is the only legitimate son in the family, and he grew up being doted on by his parents. When he was a boy in Xianyi Numa, he was also proud, but despite this, there were still times when he was unhappy. The little girl lost her mother when she was born, so she only had her grandfather. Love, but the good times did not last long. Her grandfather also passed away when the little girl was young. Without the protection of her elders, it is difficult to imagine how many unsatisfactory things the little girl encountered while growing up.

Looking at those tear-filled eyes, he couldn't help but feel his heart twitch. He carefully considered his words and coaxed softly: "Don't cry. I will buy it for you in the future, okay?"

Meng Jinyao sniffed and asked with a choked voice, "Why are you so nice to me?"

Gu Jingxi smiled and said, "You are my wife, shouldn't I be nice to you?"

Meng Jinyao looked at him and murmured: "Is it just out of the husband's responsibility to his wife?"

Gu Jingxi was slightly startled. He didn't understand what she meant by asking, but he thought about it carefully and replied, "Not entirely."

At the beginning, he did it out of a sense of responsibility. Later, he realized that the little girl had a hard time and her experience was distressing, so he subconsciously wanted to be nice to this unlucky child.

Of course, it is natural for a husband to be kind to his wife. He is much older than his wife, so he should take more care of her.

——Not entirely.

After just five words, Meng Jinyao couldn't help but think too much. The main reason was that Ningdong raised this issue in the first place, and then she couldn't help but think about it based on Gu Jingxi's words and deeds. Maybe she was too idle. Only then do you think about whether these things exist or not.

But it was impossible for her to ask directly, unless the other party made a clear statement. Otherwise, if she had such a specious feeling and found out that it was not what she meant after asking, then she would be really pretentious.

Gu Jingxi said softly: "Okay, don't cry. I will buy them for you from now on. As long as I have time, the snacks in the store are not sold out when I go there. I will buy them back for you after the daily distribution, okay?" "

After Meng Jinyao heard this, a warm current flowed through her heart. She lowered her head slightly and responded softly: "There is no need to buy it every day. In this case, I will be tired of eating it in less than a month. Just buy it once in a while."

Gu Jingxi responded warmly: "Okay, just follow Madam's advice." He thought for a while and then said, "While it's fresh, Madam, can you eat something first?"

Meng Jinyao nodded in agreement.

Gu Jingxi called the maid in and asked her to bring in a clean plate and put the snacks on the plate.

Meng Jinyao took a piece from the plate and tasted it. It was crispy and sweet in the mouth. After so many years, every time she tasted it, it was the taste in her memory. A small shop in Yipinzhai can be opened for so many years, and the business is still as good as ever. The taste has been inseparable for more than ten years, which also proves that the masters who make dim sum have maintained an excellent level.

Probably because she hadn't eaten for a long time, Meng Jinyao ate five or six pieces in succession.

Gu Jingxi said: "Madam, don't eat too much, or you won't be able to eat later."

Meng Jinyao stretched out her hand halfway, and after hearing this, she took it back, picked up the wet handkerchief that the maid had prepared and wiped her hands.

Gu Jingxi added, "I'll go to Shou'antang with me later and have a meal with my mother."

Meng Jinyao said "Okay" without hesitation, and then asked, "Will the rest of the family go?"

"I'm not going." Gu Jingxi glanced at her, "Xiu Ming isn't going either, it's just the two of us."

There was no one in sight, and Meng Jinyao felt happy again.

-

Shou'an Hall.

A few months after Meng Jinyao married into the Gu family, this was the first time she and Gu Jingxi had dinner with Mrs. Gu. Because Mrs. Gu liked to be quiet and didn't like the younger generation to disturb her, she would not eat with them.

Mrs. Gu not only has a kind face and kind eyes, but also has a gentle and kind temperament. When Meng Jinyao gets along with her, it can be said that there is no pressure at all. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been harmonious.

Mrs. Gu glanced at her son who was eating quietly. She felt a little resentful that steel could not be made into steel. She just didn't speak. She didn't know how to pick up food for her daughter-in-law. The older she got, the less she talked. Wouldn't it be even worse in a few years? What little girl likes to face a stuffy gourd?

She looked at her daughter-in-law and asked warmly: "Ayao, Yao Ling talks little and doesn't know how to get along with the girl's family. Are you tired of getting along with him?"

As soon as he said this, Gu Jingxi subconsciously turned his head to look at the little girl sitting next to him.

Meng Jinyao stopped picking up the food and then replied truthfully: "Mom, my husband also takes the initiative to stir up topics and talks a lot. I don't feel tired when I get along with my husband."

"Really?" Mrs. Gu didn't believe it, and then smiled, "Just talk to me if you want. I'm afraid that he, a boring gourd, doesn't know how to get along with a girl's family, and he will wrong our A-Yao."

Meng Jinyao felt warm in her heart: "Mom, don't worry, my husband treats me very well and has never wronged me." In order to prove to her mother-in-law that she was not wronged, she thought for a while and added, "My husband is going to leave after work today." , and also bought me lotus cakes.”

Mrs. Gu looked at her son in astonishment, a little unbelievable, and soon put on a happy smile. She didn't expect that her son could understand this, it was really rare.

After a while, Mrs. Gu said warmly: "You two get along well, and mother will feel relieved."
