In the end, he couldn't bear it until the next day, and Qing Qing was discharged that night.

The blood draw still scared her. The little guy kept sobbing and crying, and couldn't sleep at ease. He would wake up as soon as he lay down, and then continue to cry.

No way, Gu Lan could only pack up Qing Qing's things, and then called someone to collect the rest, and he took Qing Qing and discharged the hospital first.

The pediatricians who handled the discharge procedures for them are speechless. They are really hospitals and hotels. Come and leave if you want?

As a result, they really left.

The moment he walked out of the hospital's door, Gu Lan could clearly feel that Qing Qing's small body relaxed a lot.

He lifted his lips slightly and squeezed Qing Qing's small face affectionately: "You are the most troublesome."

"Hey..." After leaving the hospital that scared the baby, Qingqing looked at everything beautiful now.

Even if her face was pinched, she could treat it as a younger brother playing with herself, smiling happily.

Gu Lan hugged Qingqing and got into the car. She wanted to send her to Fu's house. Then she thought about it, her sister, why should she always send her to someone else's house?

So Gu Lan took Qingqing home.

Not the house he bought outside, but...

Gu Family Ancestral House.

The ancestral home of the Gu family was very quiet, with only a few old servants left besides the housekeeper.

Gu's parents did not live here, because the house was filled with the atmosphere of the old lady of the Gu family, which made Gu's mother feel instinctively disgusted.

If she expected how much she expected to be in charge of the house justifiably in the beginning, how much she hates it now.

Can't wait for a fire to burn the entire house completely.

But this is where Gu Qingqing and Gu Lan grew up.

My grandmother died early, and my parents didn't care about them. The two of them were brought up by the old housekeeper of the ancestral house.

Speaking of this old housekeeper, there is quite a source.

The old man followed Mrs. Gu since childhood, accompanied her through countless years, both large and small, witnessing every important moment in her life, and witnessing her death from marrying her child to the last widowed husband and child.

After Mrs. Gu died, the old housekeeper took care of Qingqing attentively according to her dying instructions.

She was too old to take care of a small child, even if it was a fairly well-behaved child, it was a bit choking.

Fortunately, Aunt Ding was there, but unfortunately Aunt Ding was driven away by his wife.

Later, Qing Qing grew up alone and stumbling, and he added a younger brother, but the little girl has the responsibility of being a sister, that is

She said that she was disgusted, but changed the diaper of her brother and made milk powder. She also did a very quick job.

It's just that you have to hide and do this kind of thing. Sometimes you get hit by someone, and you insist on retorting that she is sick when you see these things. She wants to throw them away, not to take care of her brother or something.

Little did he know that the ruddy little face that couldn't hide the color had exposed everything.

After a long time, even if the babysitter who took care of the young master found out that he had eaten or had a diaper changed, he would no longer make a fuss.

Just smiled knowingly, and then forgiving a certain hard-mouthed little girl, pretending to find nothing.

When Gu Lan stepped into the ancestral house holding Qingqing, he heard the old housekeeper sitting on the garden chair, whispering nostalgia for the past while blowing the night breeze.

Especially when she mentioned the process of being secretly taken care of by a duplicity girl in her infancy, she couldn't help but smile.

It turns out that his sister has been taking care of him since he was young.

He seemed to hear the footsteps behind him, and the old man murmured in a long distance, then slowly got up and turned his head.

I saw the grown-up young master holding the young eldest lady standing behind her. The little girl was still looking at her curiously with big ignorant and innocent eyes. She seemed to remember something, but she didn’t seem to remember for a while. .

The old housekeeper was so excited that his hands all over the age spots trembled, and he took a few steps quickly, wanting to meet him.

"Big... eldest lady, little master, you don't need to call and say anything first when you come back, so that I can let people clean up the house. This is silent and without preparation. It's really..."

The old housekeeper was so angry that he almost wanted to scold someone, but he wasn't scolding Gu Lan and Qingqing who came home suddenly. This was originally their home, and he would return whenever he wanted to.

She was going to scold the lazy servants in the house, but she didn't even know that the master's house was back.

The young lady and the young master finally came back. They should clean the inside and outside of the house three times carefully, and let people get more flowers, light incense, and ask everyone to line up at the door and put people in line. Welcome home grandly!

"No need for grandma the housekeeper. We are just going home and not doing anything. It is unnecessary to make such a big scene."

Gu Lan couldn't help but stop the old butler's conjecture. It turned out that the old man had just murmured and had shaken off the thoughts in his heart.

"I know it's unnecessary, don't I just talk about it?"

The old butler pouted childishly, saying so, but there was regret in his expression that could not be concealed.

"Grandma butler."

At this time, Qingqing, whose memory was loaded, finally recognized who the old man in front of him was.

"Oh my eldest lady, how come you are so cute."

The old housekeeper happily touched Qingqing's little face with those old hands, but did not hug her.

She is already a hundred years old this year, she has long been unable to hold her eldest lady.

In fact, it is an old butler, and all the affairs in the ancestral home of the Gu family have long been handed over to another middle-aged butler.

It's just that the old housekeeper has no relatives, no reason, and no children. After leaving Gu's house, there is nowhere to go. Gu Qingqing simply takes the charge and let her stay in the ancestral home as a parent.

So the old housekeeper is still the housekeeper of Gu’s family in name, but in fact it is already the master’s house.

In addition to the necessary maintenance personnel, the remaining staff in the old house are mostly hired to take care of the old housekeeper.

The rest of Gu's family can't say anything if he walks under Gu Qingqing's account.

Even Gu's mother who doesn't like the old housekeeper can't drive her away.

Because Gu’s ancestral house wrote the names of Gu Qingqing and Gu Lan.

That's right, this is why Gu's mother hates living in her ancestral house, because this is not her house.

Gu Lan didn't care who lived in the ancestral house, and he was raised by the old housekeeper, so the question of whether the old housekeeper stayed or left was completely decided by Gu Qingqing.

"Miss is hungry, can the butler's grandma cook a glutinous rice ball?" The old butler wanted to go to the kitchen as he said.

"Okay, Qingqing should have dumplings with stuffing." The housekeeper's grandmother's dumplings are delicious, and I can't help drooling when I mention Qingqing.

"Well, I've been wrapping it all the time. I just waited for the day when the eldest lady came home to cook for you. As a result, I waited too long this time.

The last murmur was inaudible, but in such a quiet night, the night wind blew into Gu Lan's ears.

The arms holding Qingqing tightened unconsciously, causing Qingqing's eyes to be raised suspiciously. Gu Lan pushed her back like a mouse, and silently followed behind the housekeeper's grandmother.

In fact, thinking about him, he is quite unfilial.

Gu Qingqing knew that he would regularly return to the ancestral house to see the housekeeper's grandmother, but he never came back even once since he moved out.

I want to ask Gu Lan why he was not surprised that the housekeeper's grandma could recognize Qingqing?

That's because there is already a precedent for Aunt Ding. Old people who are getting older seem to always see things that others can't see, and these two old people are the only ones who really cared about them in the memory of their siblings. elder.

Maybe there is a grandmother?

It is a pity that grandmother passed away before Gu Qingqing was born.

If she hadn't died so early, would he and Qingqing have a better childhood?

No, it won't. The parents are so instinctive. Even if they don't know the grandmother's will, they will turn against them because of other things.

Because he and Gu Qingqing are not the kind of people who are obedient.

Moreover, there is no if in this world.

After not coming back for too long, Gu Lan unexpectedly discovered that the kitchen of the ancestral house was so far away.

It took nearly ten minutes to walk from the garden.

As soon as the housekeeper's grandmother went in, she numbly opened the refrigerator and turned out a pile of glutinous rice **** she had wrapped herself.

There are all kinds of dumplings, buns, etc., all made by the housekeeper's grandmother herself, waiting for Gu Qingqing to go home to eat for her, but after waiting too long, she accumulated so much before she knew it.

This is still the result of being cleaned up for too long.

Seeing that the old man wanted to start cooking, Gu Lan hurriedly put Qingqing down and asked her to hold the housekeeper's grandmother. She grabbed the pot and bowl and prepared to come by herself.

Asking a centenarian to cook the food personally, while he stayed aside and watched, Gu Lan couldn't make it through his conscience.

"Grandma butler, grandma butler, Qingqing wants to hear stories."

As a child, Qingqing liked to listen to stories told by the old housekeeper, and she still remembers this.

He hesitated to look at the young master who was already skillfully boiling the water. After all, the old butler couldn't bear Qing Qing's obsession. He took her little hand and took her to sit down at the dining table, telling her about what happened a long time ago. story.

Qingqing listened intently, and didn't even know when Gu Lan cooked the glutinous rice balls.

Gu Lan served a bowl for herself, Qingqing, and the housekeeper's grandmother, but the housekeeper's grandmother only pushed her own bowl of glutinous rice **** into a corner where no one else was.

"I am getting older, and eating glutinous rice at night is not digestible, so you should eat it."

Gu Lan gave a few words of persuasion, so he stopped talking.

The filling of the glutinous rice **** is very sweet. Gu Lan deliberately didn't add any sugar when cooking, so it tasted just right and not too greasy.

The glutinous rice **** made by the old steward were really delicious. Qingqing ate a bowl by himself, but asked for half a bowl if it wasn't enough.

She kept saying that she could eat two more bowls, but Gu Lan was afraid that she would accumulate food, so she didn't dare to give too much.

A bowl is actually seven or eight.

After eating Qingqing’s little belly, the old butler touched it, then got up and found a jar of homemade hawthorn cake from the cabinet.

"Miss, eat a little, can digest.",,...,...:
