◎Go to Beijing◎

Back in the dormitory, Gu Guanning took Xiao Mingyue home, washed herself, and told her before going to bed that she would go to the city to eat hot pot the day after tomorrow, which made the little girl almost jump out of bed with joy.

Gu Guanning said: "My cousin is on vacation the day after tomorrow. I will pick you up here after work tomorrow."

"Then I have to go home and sleep?" Xiao Mingyue hummed and asked curiously: "Auntie, aren't you afraid of sleeping alone?"

Gu Guanning After thinking about it, "It's okay."

Xiao Mingyue immediately patted her chest and said loudly, "I'm not afraid, I can accompany my aunt."

"Okay, then, go home with your mother for two nights and then come and accompany me." Gu Guanning nodded.

Just after breakfast the next day, the boy and his grandmother who came to see Xiao Mingyue yesterday came to the door.

Xiao Zizi ran to the dining table with the lunch box in his arms, "Aunt Gu, I brought meat buns for you and Xiaoyue. Thank you for treating me to ribs yesterday."

His grandma stood behind and said sheepishly: "Comrade Xiao Gu, yesterday I'm really causing trouble for you."

Gu Guanning moved a stool for Mrs. Lin and poured hot water. "It's not too much trouble. The child is fine."

Mrs. Lin is not tall, thin and stands upright, eyes are bright and energetic, with short hair pinned back, and the whole person looks upright and energetic.

She patted her chest in fear, "Oh, it scared me. I didn't know he went out alone and came so far away. Fortunately, our camp is safe and we didn't meet any bad guys. Otherwise, I wouldn't have the shame to follow."

"Thank you very much, Comrade Gu. I didn't bring anything good when I came here. I just brought a bunch of vegetables and a few eggs. I'll wash them and give them to you later. Send it back."

"Mom, you're too polite. I can't accept it." Gu Guanning waved her hands quickly.

Aunt Lin insisted on giving it, "It's not something rare, it's just the vegetables we sell at the window."

"I'll accept the vegetables, forget the eggs." Gu Guanning took a step back.

An egg costs five cents, and ten is fifty cents. Although her own eggs have never been broken, it is a heavy gift and she cannot accept it.

Aunt Lin had no choice but to pick out the eggs.

She looked back at her grandson and asked: "When I came up, I saw the eldest sisters in this building talking together. I wanted to go down and join in the fun. Can Xiao Zizi let him stay with Comrade Gu? He brought his homework. I want to do homework with Xiao Mingyue."

The two children who were eating meat buns looked over, and Xiao Yezi said, "Grandma, go ahead, I'm obedient."

Xiao Mingyue nodded heavily, "Grandma Lin, I will help. You supervise him."

Aunt Lin said with a smile: "Okay, you two study hard."

After sending Aunt Lin downstairs, Gu Guanning turned around and said to the two children: "You two finish your buns and wipe your hands before doing your homework. Get up and take a walk. If you're thirsty, there's water on the table. If you're hungry, there's some snacks."

Xiao Mingyue raised her hand and answered, "I know, you're not allowed to carry the kettle or go near the stove. If you have anything, just call your aunt."

Gu Guanning raised her hand and yawned, casually got into the bed with a book, pulled up the quilt, tilted his head and fell asleep. In the middle, she got up and went to the toilet, filled the empty enamel jar with water and then lay back down. It wasn't until Aunt Lin came to pick up her grandson and take her home for dinner that she was woken up by the small bright moon.
