Chapter 285 Go to the Family Courtyard to Borrow Some

The next day.

A sudden heavy rain prevented people in the camp from going into the mountains.

Because it was the Lantern Festival, everyone gathered together to make glutinous rice balls, roast fire and chat.

Lu Jianye, He Hao and others who had originally planned to go down the mountain had to stay on the mountain.

Gu Xiaoxi looked at the sky and found that it was going to rain for most of the day, so he took a nap with peace of mind.

Lu Jiansen also enjoyed this rare free time and slept until nine o'clock, which was unusual for him.

With him, Gu Xiaoxi no longer had any desire to stay in bed.

"Are you going out?"

Lu Jiansen smiled and gently rubbed her fluffy head. "It's raining so hard. I'll see if there's anything delicious and bring it to you when the time comes."

"I don't want to eat too much!" Gu Xiaoxi reminded first.

She still has a lot of snacks she hasn’t eaten yet that she wants to eat!

She still has a lot of strawberry cake waiting for her to eat!

"Okay." Lu Jiansen kissed her forehead lovingly, opened the curtain of the tent, and went out first.

Gu Xiaoxi went back to the space, quickly washed up, took out a bamboo basket, and filled it with snacks.

She planned to let Lu Jiansen taste these as well.

Not long after, Lu Jiansen brought over a bowl full of glutinous rice balls.

When Gu Xiaoxi was worried, Lu Jiansen smiled and said, "You eat first, and give me the leftovers."

Gu Xiaoxi was relieved when he heard this and pointed to the bamboo basket beside him, "Put this away and eat it slowly."

Lu Jiansen took a look and obediently put it away.

These things are all snacks, including biscuits, spicy strips, chocolate, cola, etc. The varieties are quite diverse.

He even suspected that the little girl didn't want to eat because she ate too much of these things.

So, when she ate three or four glutinous rice balls and stopped eating, he specifically reminded her.

"Eat less of these snacks in the future. You still have to eat well every day!"

Gu Xiaoxi blinked and said, "I only eat it occasionally."

"Yeah. Be good!" Lu Jiansen gently stroked her pretty little face.

Gu Xiaoxi blushed for no apparent reason.

Lu Jiansen chuckled, leaned over slightly, and kissed her lips.

But soon, he broke the kiss and commented, "So sweet! So delicious!"

Gu Xiaoxi glared at him in embarrassment, "Aren't you afraid of dropping the bowl in your hand?"

“No.” Lu Jiansen ate the glutinous rice balls that the little girl hadn’t finished, and then went out to put the bowl away.

At this time, the rain in Wushan was even heavier. The mountain forest was surrounded by rain mist, and everything was hazy.

Gu Xiaoxi couldn't help it and secretly ate another piece of strawberry cake.

Suddenly, a reminder sound came in her mind.

"The temporary servant of the system companion space has great evil intentions towards the host. All illegal gains have been confiscated and ten square meters of territory have been successfully cut off as punishment."

Gu Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment, then immediately returned to his own space.

The increase of ten square meters in space has not made much difference to her space now.

However, she clearly saw the fish that just fell from the sky into her own pond!

So, what did Gu Xinli do to cause such resentment towards me?

However, she was still very happy because she got dozens of fish of different sizes for free.

…

Qingbei Military Region Family Home.

Gu Xinli, who was about to catch a fish from the space to cook, suddenly burst into tears.

All the fish she had worked so hard to catch and keep in the space were gone!

Why? Why?

Old Mrs. Yin and Old Mrs. Gu, who were waiting for dinner, saw that Gu Xinli had not brought out the meal for a long time. They first went to the kitchen to take a few looks and saw that she had only cooked a pot of porridge and had not cooked any dishes yet. They immediately became very angry.

"What's wrong with you? Why don't you cook or make dishes? Xiaoxi girl brought me rice and dishes. Do you want to deduct the old man's food and eat it all by yourself?" Old Mrs. Gu said in a ruthless and conspiratorial manner.

She recovered from her illness, but she still did not leave the army.

Because it snowed again in Qingbei two nights ago. The snow was terribly heavy and it was freezing cold outside. I heard that the mountains were closed and there was no car to take them to Qingbei.

Gu Xinli was furious. "She only gave me five kilograms of rice and two heads of Chinese cabbage. Can you eat them for a lifetime?"

When Mrs. Gu heard her talking back to her, she pinched her soft spot and said, "Listen to what you said. Listen to what you said."

"I'm an old man, and five kilograms of rice can't last me ten days or half a month? If that damn girl Gu Xiaoxi can give out five kilograms of rice, shouldn't you also give out five kilograms of rice?"

"Ten kilograms of rice in total, and now you're only giving me porridge? Where's the food? Why don't you cook?"

"There is no food at home!" Gu Xinli cried for a while and gave up.

Our family was already in financial difficulty this year, and my mother came with my two younger brothers and grandmother to stay and eat for free, and they ate a lot. We ate everything we could during these days.

"There's no more vegetables, go out and buy some!" Old Mrs. Gu was angry and annoyed, her eyes were wide open, and she looked like she wanted to eat someone.

She didn't care what the Yin family ate, as long as she couldn't go hungry.

Because in this hellhole of a place called Qingbei, if she doesn't eat enough, she will be cold all day.

She is old enough, she is not here to suffer in the army!

"I have no money!" Gu Xinli decided not to care about the old lady anymore.

In order to save face and to prevent Yin Chunsheng from being talked about, she had tried her best to meet her grandmother's requests.

But now, she is really penniless!

After hearing what Gu Xinli said, Old Lady Yin was also angry.

But when she thought of her son, she suddenly pulled Mrs. Gu abnormally.

"My dear, my son's allowance is always given to her. After several visits to the hospital, she may really be out of money. See if you can borrow some money from the family home."

"Look, isn't Lu Jiansen the deputy head of the group? He's not at home, but he can't just ignore you, right? When the time comes, ask Lu Jiansen and your granddaughter Gu Xiaoxi to pay back the money you borrowed. Maybe they can lend you more, so you'll feel more at ease when you go home..."

Mrs. Gu didn't want to do this at first, but Gu Ercheng's eyes lit up.

"Grandma, I think this method is very good. I estimate that you can easily borrow hundreds of dollars. I heard from people in the family compound these two days that cousin Xiaoxi is very popular in the army. Her husband is also very respected..."

Liu Chunhua, who was sitting next to him holding a military uniform that Yin Chunsheng had altered to be smaller for her youngest son, also echoed this when she heard this.

"That's right. Mother came to the army this time to ask for money for Uncle San's wedding. Gu Xiaoxi is not at home, so I can lend you some money to take home! Isn't Uncle San also her and Lu Jiansen's uncle? Shouldn't he give a gift?"

"Yes! Grandma, I can go with you to borrow it. We don't need to borrow it from the leaders, we can borrow it from the soldiers under Lu Jiansen..."

Mrs. Gu was immediately moved.

This is a good method!

If you don’t have to pay it back after borrowing it, that’s a good thing!

As for embarrassment? No.

As soon as she left the army, the responsibility of repaying the money naturally fell on Lu Jiansen and that damn girl Gu Xiaoxi.
