Chapter 21: Adolescence

Gu Sheng went to the wholesale market. When Lingzi got up, Aunt Gao, a daily hourly worker, had already prepared breakfast. The children may not have gotten up. It is summer vacation. Gu Zihao slept in every day. He played games a few days ago until midnight, and he could sleep until noon the next day.

"When I was a child, I only had one TV at home, so I didn't let me watch it when I was alive..." Sometimes, Suzuko would be interrupted by her son impatiently as soon as she said the beginning.

"Mom, are you tired? You have said it eight hundred times. You can only watch it on Saturdays and Sundays. You are still occupied by your brother. You can only go to your neighbor's house to watch TV..." Gu Zihao had a hundred words waiting for her, and sometimes Lingzi had no way to do anything.

Gu Sheng had a solution. He accompanied him to learn swimming tomorrow afternoon, so he made the kid so tired that he went to bed early every night and had no energy to play games. He woke up early when he slept, and could basically sit at the dining table to have breakfast at nine o'clock in the morning, and then spend two hours writing summer homework.

It was already nine o'clock now. When Lingzi went downstairs, she saw that Gu Zihao had not appeared in the restaurant yet. Nuoer was sitting obediently on the chair. Sister Zhang, who was taking care of Nuoer, was serving her rice.

"Mom!" Nuoer opened his arms and acted coquettish, with the soaked milk cereal in front of him. Sister Zhang was spreading jam on the baked toast. The fried eggs and ham were all arranged in the dish next to him. The fruit plate was filled with imported bananas and red lemons, and there were chopped dragon fruit and cherries next to it.

"Be good at Nuo'er, eat well with Sister Zhang, don't be picky about food." Lingzi did not sit down as usual and accompanied her daughter to have dinner. She wanted to go upstairs to see if Gu Zihao was playing games again.

Lingzi raised her feet upstairs. As expected, Gu Zihao was sitting on the bed holding a laptop and fighting, and he didn't even notice Lingzi walked into the bedroom.

"Everyone is waiting for you to have breakfast. How did I make three rules for you? You can keep your laptop by yourself. Can you play after completing the summer homework of that day? I will take the high school entrance exam next year. Can you have some self-control?" Suzuko couldn't help but get angry.

"Mom, please knock on the door when you come in in the future." Gu Zihao still did his own way as if he didn't hear it.

"You're not closing the door!" Suzuko suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

"It's my business whether to close the door or not, whether to knock on the door is your problem!" Gu Zihao probably knew that Lingzi was going to get angry again next time. With a "bang", he closed the computer, got up and got out of bed, walked into the bathroom and started washing.

Suzuko almost didn't get up in one breath. This child was so popular. When he was a child, his family was not in good condition. Zihao was quite obedient and sensible, and his academic performance was also good. He maintained a moderate to superior level in the class.

When Zihao was four years old, there was another Gu Sheng in his life. Originally, Lingzi was a little worried that Zihao would not accept Gu Sheng, but she didn't expect that they were quite compatible, which made her breath a sigh of relief.

Especially Zihao has been a single-parent family since childhood and has a cowardly personality. Since he has Gu Sheng, he has become more courageous and cheerful. The key is that Gu Sheng is even more timid to Zihao than his own son. Gu Zihao is also a father who opens his mouth and shuts up and shouts. Lingzi feels that he is too lucky.

Why did it become like this when he entered puberty? When Suzuko was in trouble, he got angry, from being reasonable to being nonsense, from being unreasonable to being soft and hard without eating oil and salt. Suzuko's first one has two big ones.

Suzuko really wanted to confiscate his mobile phone and computer, but she was afraid...

She asked herself what she was afraid of? Are she afraid that Gu Zihao would be furious? Or is she afraid that he... would run away from home again?

During the winter vacation last year, Gu Zihao had already run out once. It was because Suzuko confiscated his mobile phone and computer that Gu Zihao fell and smashed at home, and even the winning trophy of the Go competition he regarded as the most treasure!

Then he ran out of the house and didn't come back for three days, but he was so anxious!

While comforting Lingzi, Gu Sheng searched for Gu Zihao through various relationships. He called the police more than 24 hours later. All his classmates and friends asked, but Gu Zihao did not go to find them.

"Is it because I was wrong?" Lingzi sat on the sofa and murmured to himself. It was snowy outside, and I didn't know how much money Gu Zihao had on his body. He ran out excitedly. If something unexpected happened...

Lingzi didn't dare to think about it anymore. She was really afraid that her son would follow her old path. She thought that if she hadn't been impulsive back then, how could she know Hu Jin? She was deceived by him several times and gave birth to Zihao...

But I was already eighteen years old and I was self-defeated, so I couldn't blame anyone else. Gu Zihao was just fourteen years old. What if I met a human trafficker? There are also legendary people who stole organs...

The more Lingzi thought about it, the more she became, and she became more and more afraid. She couldn't sleep all night. Gu Sheng couldn't persuade her, so she had to go there. The most urgent thing was to find Gu Zihao quickly.

On New Year's Eve, the family was filled with sorrow. It was obvious that the year could not be over. Gu Sheng's parents persuaded Lingzi, and mobilized relatives and friends to find Gu Zihao. Seeing that Lingzi was absent-minded, the aunts also took Nuoer away to take care of him so that the couple could focus on finding their son.

The doorbell rang. It was probably Nuoer's grandmother who sent someone to deliver dumplings. Gu Sheng glanced at the dazed bell, sighed and walked into the yard.

Outside the iron gate outside the fence, a beggar was trembling with coldness, her clothes were so dirty that she could not tell the color. She wore a torn hat on her head, a scarf wrapped around her outside, and only two eyes were exposed.

"Oh! Some families are happy and some are sad. It's really sad to be homeless during the Chinese New Year." Gu Sheng took out his wallet and plucked two hundred yuan to hand it over, asking the man to find a place to live.

"Dad, is the New Year's Eve dinner ready?" the man suddenly said.

"Gu Zihao! Gu Zihao, you little brat! Your mother is almost crazy! Come in quickly and have enough food and drink to let me beat you up!"

Gu Sheng was angry and laughed. He hugged Gu Zihao tightly. There was no better New Year gift than this. This child was not stupid and knew he would come back.

"What are you sitting here? What are you trying to pick me up?" Gu Zihao walked out of the bathroom with a dry towel, a fourteen-year-old boy, almost 1.8 meters tall, immediately caught up with Gu Shenggao. He had a tender and handsome face, but his face was cynical.

"Why do you think so badly about your mother? Mom is all for your own good." Suzuko sighed, "Go downstairs to have dinner quickly."

Gu Zihao wrote about the laptop on his bed, which was still in its original position. He breathed a sigh of relief and followed Linzi and slowly went downstairs.

"Brother, lazy, sleep in." Nuoer had finished her meal and was drinking the juice slowly with a straw.

"Little girl movie!" Gu Zihao looked at his sister dotingly. No matter what, the relationship between brother and sister is very good. If Nuoer had something, Gu Zihao would look more serious than his own.

"Do your homework after dinner, can you leave the computer to me to keep?" Sure enough?" said Suzuko.
