Chapter 1438: Unease
Gu Ya nodded.
"Already sent." The items for Mrs. An and Gu Chengxiang were all for warming up in winter, such as hot water bottles, stoves, charcoal, as well as some thick clothes and quilts.
Everything needed, Gu Ya and his wife had bought and sent over to his parents. Today, when Mrs. Zhang and the Gu Baofu family saw Gu Ya, none showed a pleasant face.
Especially Mrs. Zhang, who almost seemed to wring out water from her blackened face upon seeing Gu Ya. Of course, Gu Ya didn’t bother with Mrs. Zhang and didn’t take Mrs. Zhang or Gu Baofu seriously at all. Instead, Aluo and Xiaoshan along with Xiangxiang, the few children, pounced on him as soon as they saw Gu Ya, all looking up to Gu Ya and calling him "Third Uncle."
Gu Ya took out a pack of loose candy from his bosom and distributed it to each of the children. Since the last incident with the old nurse, some time had elapsed without Gu Ya returning to the Gu family’s old house. The children were still quite close to their Third Uncle, so Gu Ya used this opportunity to bring some snacks to the children while visiting the Gu family’s old house.
After all, he had plenty of these things at home. Ever since Su Yunjin became pregnant, Gu Ya had bought various preserved fruits and pickled dates for home, so his wife could eat whenever she wanted.
After handing out the loose candy to the children, Mrs. Chu and Gu Jianghai came out one after another upon hearing the noise outside, "Third Brother, you’re here?"
Seeing Gu Ya, both Gu Jianghai and Mrs. Chu seemed somewhat happy. Gu Ya, noticing Mrs. Chu and Gu Jianghai, was surprised and asked, "Fifth Brother, Sister-in-law, aren’t you selling at the market?"
"Third Brother, it’s so cold now, there’s hardly anyone at the market! Your Fifth Brother and I spent half a day shopping in town and barely saw a few people. We thought that we needed to prepare some warming items for home, so we closed the shop and bought some charcoal and stoves to bring back. It’s terribly cold; we still need to keep the charcoal burning inside the house."
Gu Ya came today to deliver charcoal to Mrs. An and the others. Looking at the items brought by Gu Ya, Mrs. Chu said, "Third Brother, did you come to give presents to Father and Mother?"
