Chapter 2427: Chapter 2431: Where’s the Itch? Speak Up Clearly
"Okay," Senior Master Gu nodded, "It’s convenient to send Xiao Shumiao to school over there, and it’s close to your company. You both won’t have to run back and forth every day, which is great."
"While you’ve been living here lately, I’ve postponed quite a few things. Once you move out, I’ll have to resume my normal activities, otherwise those old guys are going to get really impatient."
He had just found out that Xiao Shumiao was his grandson and adored him so much. Not seeing him for even one day felt unbearable. During this time, any work that required traveling out, he had assigned to others.
If he keeps being this disengaged at work, those people are going to come and have a word with him.
Besides, although their house is big, it’s still not very convenient for a father-in-law and daughter-in-law to live together.
Young people need their own space.
From Monday to Thursday they’ll live by themselves, and from Friday to Sunday they’ll come back to reunite with him. This way, he can focus on his own tasks with peace of mind, which is great.
"Alright," Gu Junzhu added two more servings of side dishes for him, "Dad, when you retire, you should also move to my place. The scenery there is beautiful; you’ll definitely like it."
Senior Master Gu laughed, "We’ll see."
People in his position, even when they reach retirement age, never truly stop working.
The future... let’s talk about it later!
"Uncle, have you and Aunt named your dessert shop yet?" Qiao Zui asked, looking at Gu Junzhu.
"Yes," Gu Junzhu said, "It’s called Carved Time."
"Sounds good," Qiao Zui raised his thumb, "It has a nice ring to it! It’s meaningful and enduring, a great name."
Ye Xingbei looked around and asked Qiao Zui, "Where’s Ah Jue?"
"He’s in the laboratory," Qiao Zui replied, "Those doing research are all madmen, completely absorbed in their work."
Ye Xingbei frowned, "Doesn’t he eat breakfast? Ah Zui, you need to keep an eye on him, don’t let him ruin his health."
"I know, Aunt, don’t worry," Qiao Zui said, "Once I’m full, I’ll take food to the lab for him and make sure he eats."
Ye Xingbei nodded, "Okay, thank you, Ah Zui."
Qiao Zui waved his hand, "Aunt, do you still have to be so polite with me? That’s too much!"
Ye Xingbei couldn’t help but laugh, "If I didn’t act politely with you, you’d think that’s even more excessive."
Qiao Zui: "... Aunt, you learned to be bad from my uncle!"
Gu Junzhu glared at him, "Where’s your itching spot? Say it directly, no need to be so indirect."
Qiao Zui: "..."
Trying to please, he grabbed a few dishes for Gu Junzhu, "Uncle, let’s eat, let’s eat!"
Senior Master Gu watched them joking around and didn’t impose any rules about dining etiquette, letting them be.
After breakfast, the family went their separate ways, busy with their own tasks.
In the car, Gu Junzhu said to Ye Xingbei, "I just thought about it; living at the dessert shop from Monday to Thursday and returning to my dad’s place from Friday to Sunday is a bit unsuitable."
Ye Xingbei asked, "Why?"
Gu Junzhu said, "My dad often travels and might not even come back on weekends. If he’s not there, why should we return on weekends?"
"Oh, that’s true," Ye Xingbei said, "Then we’ll go back to live when Dad is home, and stay at the coffee shop when he’s out. Doesn’t that work?"
Gu Junzhu said, "What if my dad doesn’t go out for a whole month?"
"Then we’ll just stay at Dad’s place," Ye Xingbei looked at him strangely and said, "Even if you stay there for months or years, no one will kick you out. What are you afraid of?"
