Chapter 43 - 43 Going to Haicheng
43 Going to Haicheng
“Dad!” Guo Miao saw Guo Fu and walked over with a smile. She took Guo Fu’s things and put them aside.
“Miaomiao, you’re back? Did the Guos ask you to come back?” Guo Fu asked as he looked at Guo Miao with worry in his eyes.
Hearing Guo Fu’s words, Guo Miao understood.
Guo Fu was afraid that she would be driven out of the Guo family, and he couldn’t help but feel heartbroken.
“No, I missed you and Xuxu, so I came back to see you.”
Guo Miao took out all the good cigarettes and wine she had bought and put them aside. She opened the side dish and said, “Dad, I bought you some of your favorite dishes. Have some first. Let’s sit down and talk.”
Hearing that Guo Miao wasn’t in trouble with the Guo family, Guo Fu’s anxious heart also calmed down. He sat at the table and looked at the dishes on the table, frowning again.
“These dishes aren’t cheap. If you take the Guos’ money and spend it on us, I’m afraid they will be unhappy.”
In fact, Guo Fu had mixed feelings. The dishes on the table were not cheap, costing more than 100 yuan in total. He was only willing to eat like this during the new year.
The fact that Guo Miao was willing to buy so many ingredients meant that the Guo family must have given her quite a lot of pocket money. However, Guo Fu was a little worried. If the Guos knew that she was spending money like this, it would not be good.
Guo Miao shook her head. “It’s alright, Dad. Don’t worry.”
She picked up some food with her chopsticks and placed it on Guo Fu’s plate. “This is all the money I earned.”
“Money you earned? You’re not even an adult yet. How did you earn money?” Guo Fu asked with a frown.
“It’s the doctor from the village. I learned some medical skills from him. Later, I happened to meet a patient with a difficult-to-treat disease. I cured him. He had money, so he paid me,” Guo Miao explained.
“That doctor is pretty good,” Guo Fu was convinced by Guo Miao and said while eating. “You should go back early this afternoon. Don’t let the Guo family worry too much.”
Guo Miao felt a little sad. “I’ve earned some money from learning programming. It should be enough to buy a small house for you and Xuxu to live in. Dad, do you want to come to Haicheng in the future?”
Guo Fu shook his head.
If he went to Haicheng, how could Guo Miao live with the Guos in Haicheng?
“It’s fine, Miaomiao. Your brother and I are doing well in Dongshan. When your brother does well in his exams, it should be easy for him to pass the entrance exams to a Haicheng high school.”
Even though it was difficult to get into a high school in Haicheng from Dongshan, it would be much easier if Xuxu were to study in Haicheng.
However, Guo Miao didn’t say anything else. Guo Fu was someone who couldn’t bear to leave his homeland, so she had to take it slow if she wanted to persuade him to go to Haicheng.
“Dad, why don’t you come with me to Haicheng? There are many fun places in Haicheng, and I want to bring Xuxu there. Moreover, the fishing ban will be in force soon, so you can have some free time.”
Guo Fu didn’t agree at first, but he couldn’t resist Guo Miao’s coaxing and pestering.
Guo Min was the happiest. He ran in and out of the house on his short legs. He prepared clothes for himself, mumbling that he would wear his best clothes when he went to Haicheng.
Guo Fu had also packed up and brought two bags of fresh bamboo shoots.
Although Guo Miao stopped Guo Fu, she couldn’t resist his persistence.
It was already four o ‘clock in the afternoon when the family set off. When they arrived in Haicheng, the sky was already dark.
Guo Miao had booked a hotel nearby for Guo Fu, but he still insisted on visiting the Guo family to express his gratitude.
Guo Miao didn’t argue with Guo Fu and brought him over.
Cheng Yu was currently monitoring the flow of the banquet with Guo Lin. Seeing that Guo Miao had returned, her anxious heart finally settled down.
She was a little afraid that Guo Miao would quit at the last minute and run away. Fortunately, Guo Miao still came back. But when they saw the person behind her, Cheng Yu and Guo Lin both frowned.
“Guo Miao, who did you bring back? Are you going to bring him to our family’s banquet tomorrow?”
Guo Miao found it funny when she saw Guo Lin covering her ears and miming a scream and Cheng Yu’s panicked expression.
This family was really arrogant.
“You asked me to invite whoever I wanted to invite to the banquet, and this is the person I wanted to invite.”
Cheng Yu really wanted to slap her own mouth. Why did she agree to Guo Miao’s request?
“Well, you can’t… Ah, forget it.” She looked at Guo Fu in disgust. “Where is your adoptive father going to live?”
