However, seeing that the weather was getting hotter, Gu Yundong began to feel uneasy.
Aunt Ke pulled her over. “It’s fine, it’s fine. I just went to take a look. He just sweated a little too much, but he’s still very energetic.”
Gu Yundong nodded randomly. No one knew if she was listening.
However, at this moment, Madam Cui came over to let them have lunch.
This meant that Shao Qingyuan had been standing outside for two hours. It would only get hotter when it was noon.
She followed Gu Dajiang to the dining hall, but she couldn’t eat much. She only ate some porridge.
Gu Dajiang looked up at her and sighed inwardly.
This silly girl. She was clearly so steady when doing business. Why was she unable to hold it in now?
He shook his head and pretended not to see it. He turned around and picked up a pork rib for Madam Yang to eat.
Gu Yundong was speechless. You’re torturing my man while showing off your love in front of me. Can we still be father and daughter?
I’m angry. I’m not eating anymore.
Gu Yundong put down her chopsticks and ran towards the door.
Other than the main door in the middle, there was a small door at the side of the Gu family’s courtyard.
Gu Yundong opened the small door and secretly glanced at Shao Qingyuan.
Perhaps sensing her gaze, Shao Qingyuan quickly looked over. When their eyes met, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Then, he moved his lips silently, as if he was saying something.
Gu Yundong could vaguely tell that he said that he was fine and asked her to go back quickly. It was just standing for a few hours. It was not a problem for him.
Gu Yundong immediately felt very uncomfortable, especially when she saw his lips that were cracked by the sun. Her heart ached constantly.
At this moment, there were many people passing by the door. They were mostly working in the Gu Family’s workshop.
The weather was hot now, and the days were long and the nights were short. The working time in the workshop had also been adjusted. At noon, everyone could go back and rest for two hours.
Therefore, other than those on duty, many people went home to eat after getting food in the workshop. They also rested before coming back to work in the afternoon.
Therefore, when these people passed by the Gu family’s door, they saw Shao Qingyuan standing there stiffly.
Seeing his pursed lips and expressionless face, no one dared to step forward and speak. They only began to discuss softly.
Shao Qingyuan pretended not to hear them and stood there like a soldier.
In the end, Gu Yundong did not persuade him to leave. Although her heart ached, she knew Gu Dajiang’s intentions. If she slapped her father in the face at this time, if Shao Qingyuan dared to bully her in the future, her father would not even have the right to speak up for her.
She understood the ways of the world.
It was just uncomfortable.
Gu Yundong returned to the courtyard listlessly. Aunt Ke, who was sewing, glanced at her.
Another two hours passed. Gu Yundong could not help but look at Gu Dajiang’s room.
Gu Dajiang had woken up from his afternoon nap, and the workers from the Gu Family Workshop had returned.
Seeing that Shao Qingyuan was still standing there motionless, the discussion became even louder.
Fortunately, a cool breeze soon blew over.
Before Gu Yundong could heave a sigh of relief, she heard the unique thunder of summer.
Before long, bean-sized raindrops poured down.
Accompanied by a rumbling sound, the heat of the entire day was swept away.
Gu Yundong frowned. Even Aunt Ke stopped what she was doing.
At this moment, Father Tong hurriedly walked through the corridor to Gu Yundong and handed her a small piece of paper.
