Chapter 170 She has been lying since she was a child

Unlike Gu Xinli's sorrow, Gu Xiaoxi was sitting in the kitchen at this moment eating the sugar-roasted chestnuts that Lu Jiansen had just made, watching Lu Jiansen cooking.

Tonight, they had pork stewed with vermicelli, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, braised prawns, and a serving of stir-fried vegetables.

Gu Xiaoxi saw the plate of shrimps and asked curiously, "Where did you buy these shrimps?"

She also raises some shrimps in her companion small space, and now there are quite a lot of them.

But there was only one fish, and there is still only one now.

Lu Jiansen smiled and replied, "Ask the logistics department for it."

When Gu Xiaoxi heard this, he immediately said, "Then can you help me get a few live fish next time?"

Lu Jiansen nodded, "Sure. If you have anything else you want, I can tell you."

"Nothing else, just the small fish."

"good."

The meal was ready and Gu Dachuan came over.

Also coming along to eat were Luo Yang and Li Kun.

However, they were sensible and went to the cafeteria to get rice and two dishes.

Only while eating did Gu Dachuan have time to talk to his sister.

"Sister, Gu Xinli has also gone to Qingbei to join the army. Did you know that?"

Gu Xiaoxi nodded unhappily, "I see. Did she look for you?"

Gu Dachuan said helplessly: "I have met him twice. Yin Chunsheng even came to talk to me and said he would invite me to his house for dinner when he has time."

"You agreed?" Gu Xiaoxi looked up at him.

"No, I don't have the time." He may not even have time to visit his sister every day.

"Well. Don't go there in the future, and don't eat anything she gives you." Gu Xiaoxi warned.

"Okay! Don't worry!"

Listening to their words, Li Kun suddenly whispered, "Sister-in-law, I saw Deputy Commander Yin's wife in the infirmary just before I came here. I heard that she was chatting with the wives of the soldiers and suddenly had a nosebleed. It seems that she has a serious illness."

Gu Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment, "Did you get a serious illness?"

That's impossible. Gu Xinli is as strong as a bull and has an excellent physique.

"I don't know, that's what everyone else says."

Gu Dachuan also shook his head at this time, "I guess it's just a normal nosebleed. I saw her yesterday and she was in good health."

"I also heard that Deputy Commander Yin has become more generous this time when he brought his wife here. He has given fish to many families in the Military Family Courtyard. Now many people in the Military Family Courtyard have a good impression of Deputy Commander Yin and his wife."

Gu Xiaoxi was surprised again, "Send fish?"

Li Kun nodded, "Yes! Each person and each family received a live fish and a salted fish, saying it was a local specialty. Everyone said she knew how to behave."

Gu Xiaoxi curled his lips and looked up at his brother, "Brother, when did fish become the specialty of Huaicheng?"

Gu Dachuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "What do you care what she says? She has been telling lies since she was a child."

Luo Yang, who was trying hard to finish a bowl of rice, also raised his head and spoke.

"I heard that Deputy Commander Yin was going to retire, but it was his new wife who encouraged him to stay in the army and shine. So Deputy Commander Yin treats his wife very well. Also, after coming to the army, his family eats fish every day. Many people in the family compound are envious of him."

Gu Xiaoxi blinked his eyes. "Eating fish every day? It seems that Deputy Commander Yin has a good family background."

She wondered if her grandfather was subsidizing her privately.

But on second thought, I felt it was impossible.

Although Grandpa didn't like her, he didn't like Gu Xinli as a girl very much either.

At most, I just like Gu Xinli a little more than I like her.

Old Man Gu’s favorite people are Gu Xinli’s two younger brothers.

Luo Yang shook his head when he heard this. "It's impossible. Deputy Commander Yin's family is from the countryside. The family conditions are very poor. His parents are not in good health. His ex-wife's medical treatment has also cost a lot of money. There are also two children at home. The burden is very heavy. Otherwise, he would not have thought of retiring and returning home. Everyone says that Deputy Commander Yin has chosen a young daughter-in-law from a wealthy family this time. He is very lucky."

"Ah? A daughter-in-law from a wealthy family?" Gu Xiaoxi felt like laughing for some reason.

Gu Xinli's father's current job is inherited from his grandfather, working in a soy sauce factory. Gu Xinli's mother is unemployed, and her two younger brothers are thirteen and twelve years old. How well off can their family be?

Gu Dachuan curled his lips, "In the past, they shamelessly asked my parents to borrow money and tickets every month. They seemed to starve to death if we didn't help them. How good could their family be?"

Luo Yang was amused by this remark.

He and Gu Dachuan have been good brothers for many years, and he actually knows a lot about the Gu family.

Gu Dachuan had even received a letter from Gu Xinli before, asking him to send some money and tickets back, saying that his grandparents were not in good health or something like that.

After the meal, Gu Dachuan handed a stack of tickets and thirty yuan to Gu Xiaoxi.

"Sister, this is the allowance and coupons I gave you this month. Here they are for you."

Gu Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment, "What are you doing for me?"

"Didn't my parents and grandpa come to Qingbei before the New Year? Please help them buy some things. Besides, I will also come to your place for dinner. What can you buy without your tickets?"

Gu Xiaoxi thought about it and just took the ticket. "Keep the money with you. I have money."

"What you have is yours, and this is mine." Gu Dachuan stuffed the money directly into her hand.

At this time, Lu Jiansen got up and went into the room to take out two envelopes, one thick and one thin.

"Wife, this is your bonus and my allowance."

Gu Xiaoxi was delighted and immediately opened the thick envelope, took out the money inside and counted it.

Yes, it really is one thousand five hundred dollars!

After counting, she returned her brother's money to him again and said proudly: "See, I am much richer than you. Save your money for marrying a wife in the future!"

Gu Dachuan looked at the huge bonus in his sister's hand, feeling both envious and helpless.

And Luo Yang and Li Kun standing by were really jealous!

They all knew what the bonus was all about, so they truly admired Gu Xiaoxi.

After checking Lu Jiansen's allowances and tickets again, Gu Xiaoxi found that her brother looked helpless, as if he was upset because he had money but couldn't give it away.

She hesitated for a moment, then took ten dollars from him.

"If you want to buy something for your parents, just leave ten dollars with me! I'll prepare the New Year's goods when I have nothing else to do."

Gu Dachuan smiled and nodded, "Then let's prepare more New Year's goods in advance. If there are things that are difficult for you to buy, Lu Jiansen and I will go buy them."

Lu Jiansen also nodded, "Okay."

Gu Xiaoxi looked around the kitchen and suddenly said, "How about we build a new kitchen in the yard and redesign the current kitchen to make a room, so that my parents will have a place to live when they come."

Anyway, their yard is not that narrow, so it is completely possible to build a small kitchen.

According to the specifications of their house, the current kitchen should have been a room, but the original kitchen collapsed.

Lu Jiansen nodded, "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to build the kitchen in the next two days."
