Chapter 86: The Story of the Past
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Teng was not much younger than him. Before Gu Teng appeared, he had always been the youngest in the family.
Although he was the youngest, he had never received any preferential treatment. He was basically bullied by his brother. If he cried, Old Master Gu would even say that men were not allowed to cry.
At that time, he followed his brothers around every day. However, other than Gu Sen, who was close in age to him and had some common topics, his other brothers always despised him for being childish.
Then, one day, he realized that Old Madam Gu’s stomach had become bigger. He asked what was in her stomach.
Old Master Gu smiled and touched Gu Peng’s head. “You’re going to be an older brother!
Older brother? This was an identity that Gu Peng could not understand at that time. However, Gu Peng thought that if he became the older brother, he would definitely let the newbie be his sidekick and play with him every day!
However, when Old Madam Gu placed the baby Gu Teng in front of Gu Peng, Gu Peng was still a little afraid.
He didn’t know what he was afraid of, but he felt that the baby was a monster. She had made his mother’s stomach huge and then suddenly flat again. He didn’t understand what she meant no matter what she said. She only knew how to scream and cry. It was simply annoying.
However, other than him, everyone in the family liked this little baby.
Speaking of which, he was the one who came up with Gu Teng’s name. Back then, although Old Master Gu and Old Madam Gu had always wanted a daughter, they had eight sons in a row. They had already given up, but they did not expect to get pregnant unexpectedly and have Gu Teng. It was a girl, so they did not even think of a name. As if seeing Gu Peng’s resistance, Old Madam Gu carried the baby in front Gu Peng.
“Peng Peng, come and see your sister.” The baby lay obediently in Old Madam Gu’s arms and yawned contentedly. She blinked her grape-like big eyes at Gu Peng and grinned, revealing her mouth that had yet to grow teeth.
“So ugly.” Gu Peng subconsciously said his true thoughts.
“You child!” Old Master Gu was about to hit Gu Peng on the head when Old Madam Gu stopped him.
“Peng Peng, do you know that your sister is the most beautiful among all of you! When you were young, you were even uglier than this.” Old Madam Gu covered her face and smiled. “Peng Peng, you’re an elder brother now. Why don’t you name your sister?”
Gu Peng had never thought of naming a girl, but this was the first time he had been trusted by his parents. Gu Peng felt a sense of pride. Gu Peng really began to think of his little sister’s name seriously.
“Let’s call her Gu Teng!” After a long time, Gu Peng told Old Madam Gu and Old Master Gu the answer.
They did not expect Gu Peng to really think of a name.
“Then can you tell me why? Why do you want her to be called Gu Teng?” Old Madam Gu asked.
“Because the word ‘teng’ and ‘peng are both have grass radicals!” Gu Peng had just learned some Chinese characters, so he had to mention this matter no matter what. “Also, I hope that my sister can be as strong as a vine!” A child of a few years old would not say anything grand, but his words were sincere. The old couple of Gu family was very satisfied with this name, so they adopted it.
Gu Peng still remembered his first intimate contact with Gu Teng. Gu Peng reluctantly reached out to play with Gu Teng under Old Madam Gu’s earnest gaze. Unexpectedly, Gu Teng reached out and grabbed Gu Peng’s finger. Gu Tengs hand was very small. Even if she used her whole hand, she could only grab one of Gu Peng’s fingers. However, this action touched Gu Peng’s heart.
The baby’s hands were soft, and Gu Peng’s face revealed a smile that even he did not know.
He realized that this newcomer’s status in the family was much higher than his. She could be described as someone who could summon the wind and rain. However, he could not hate her.
Every time he made a mistake, he would see Gu Teng plead for him and secretly stuff candy to him where Old Master Gu could not see. Sometimes, when the two of them made a mistake together, Gu Teng would even try to make him laugh when they were punished to stand facing the wall.
Every time Gu Teng made him unhappy and wanted to flare up, he could not flare up when he met Gu Tengs big blinking eyes.
Actually, Gu Peng had studied medicine for Gu Teng.
“And then, Little Uncle, what happened after that?” Yunbao asked.
Yunbao really wanted to understand her mother’s past. The it would be as if she had been with Gu Teng for a long time.
“After that?” Gu Peng looked at Yunbao. “After that… Gu Peng deliberately kept her in suspense. “After that, it’s time for you to get up and wash up. Everyone still has something to ask you later! Let’s go!” Gu Peng patted the blanket and urged Yunbao to get up. There were some things that it was better not to let Yunbao know for the time being..
