Chapter 337: Nostalgic Old Photographs
Gu Tiantian quickly found a yellowed photo album from the small drawer under her desk. The album wasn’t big, about the size and thickness of a middle school Chinese textbook.
After taking it out, Tian Tian glanced over it, with various photos from the album flashing through her mind, ensuring there were none that shouldn’t be seen, then handed it to Bai Chenyao.
"You take a look first, I’ll go help in the kitchen."
Bai Chenyao didn’t say anything, just took the album and returned to sit by the bed, tacitly approving of Tian Tian’s actions.
"Tian Tian, why did you come out?"
Seeing her granddaughter come out, Grandma Gu was slightly surprised.
Tian Tian quickly smiled and pointed towards the kitchen.
"Grandma, I’m going to help Uncle, I’m afraid he can’t handle it all by himself."
Grandma Gu showed a look of sudden realization and nodded with a smile.
"Oh... look at me, getting old and forgetting things easily, go ahead quickly!"
Tian Tian almost rushed into the kitchen, feeling more comfortable being with her uncle.
Of course, that was under the premise of comparison.
Because there was a guest at home, she and her uncle prepared a few more dishes.
An hour later, the dishes were served on the table.
It really was a full table, if not for considering how small the table was, Gu Qingfeng would have liked to make two more dishes.
Tian Tian was responsible for assisting, but she didn’t touch the heavy-smelling dishes like washing fish and crabs.
In fact, when Tian Tian entered the kitchen, Gu Qingfeng was strongly opposed.
Because Gu Qingfeng also insisted that his niece should go have a good chat with Bai Chenyao, as he assumed Bai Chenyao must be very busy.
For him to be able to come over for a meal today, it must have taken a considerable effort to find the time.
They were both young, and although he was in his forties, he knew that young people nowadays like to stick together more often to enhance their feelings.
Unexpectedly, his niece insisted on staying in the kitchen to help, and finally, unable to argue with her, he compromised and let her help in the kitchen with washing the vegetables and whatnot.
Steamed hairy crabs, cumin lamb chops, Uncle’s specialty braised pork, Xu Lihong with minced meat, a plate of cold mixed romaine lettuce, and an old hen with mushroom soup.
Six dishes and one soup filled the entire table.
Just looking at it made Tian Tian feel her appetite increase.
"Tian Tian, go call Chen Yao to the table for dinner."
Gu Qingfeng took the crockery from his niece’s hands as he spoke with her.
Trying to take the opportunity to escape, Tian Tian once again became the runner.
"Uncle, I’ll go right away!"
When she reached the bedroom, she saw Bai Chenyao still sitting by the bed, holding the yellowed album, with a handsome and stern face, his thick eyebrows slightly furrowed, Tian Tian followed suit and frowned.
He was looking at her album, why was he frowning?
Quickly walking over, Tian Tian glanced at it.
Bai Chenyao was looking at a decade-old black and white photo, a photo of a man in his twenties holding a little girl about three years old in a white dress.
Daddy rarely took photos, this was one of the very few.
"A Yao, it’s time to eat."
Tian Tian reached out, trying to take back the album.
Unexpectedly, Bai Chenyao looked up, his deep dark eyes staring at her.
"Is this you?"
Although it was a question, the expression on his face was one of certainty.
Tian Tian nodded, her voice soft and gentle.
"Yes, Grandma said that when this photo was taken, I was only ten months old, and the one holding me is my dad."
When mentioning the word "Dad," Tian Tian’s voice became even more gentle, filled with deep nostalgia.
