The sunlight poured through the window onto the dining table where four people were sitting. The table was filled with delicious food: braised pig's head, braised pig's trotters, spicy stir-fried cabbage, and radish and vermicelli soup.
Gu Sihan patted his round belly contentedly and couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, it's so delicious, I'm so full!"
At this moment, he suddenly said, "If I could have another White Rabbit candy right now, I would definitely faint from happiness!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two plump white rabbit candies suddenly appeared in front of him.
Gu Sihan looked at Luo Yiyi, who was sitting beside him, in great surprise. His face was filled with unconcealable joy, and he couldn't wait to ask, "Is this... is this for me?"
Luo nodded in agreement.
She had just accidentally wronged Gu Sihan, so these two White Rabbit candies were given as an apology.
Gu Sihan took the candy happily and carefully peeled off the candy wrapper, but he did not eat it himself first. Instead, he put the sweet candy to Luo Yiyi's mouth.
"Yiyi, open your mouth. Two White Rabbit candies for each of us. This is yours."
Luo Yiyi opened his mouth inexplicably and tasted the familiar and wonderful flavor of White Rabbit Milk Candy.
But this taste seems to be sweet in my heart.
Gu Sihan opened the second White Rabbit candy before stuffing it into his mouth.
While chewing the candy, he looked at Luo Yiyi curiously and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Yiyi, how many White Rabbit candies do you have left?
I have never seen where you put the candy, but every time you appear, it’s like a magic trick, making it appear effortlessly.”
Hearing this, Luo Yiyi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a mysterious and confident smile, and replied: "Well, of course I can't tell you!
Otherwise, with your greedy little cat temperament, you would eat them all up in one go!"
Gu Sihan, whose thoughts were revealed, scratched his head a little embarrassedly and then laughed.
After all, for some reason, he did have an irresistible love for sweets.
However, Wu Mengyue, who was sitting opposite, looked at Luo Yiyi thoughtfully.
I thought to myself: Is there space in her body too?
After dinner, Luo Yiyi looked at the pile of used dishes on the dining table, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to clean them up.
However, just as she was about to take action, Gu Sireng beside her quickly stopped her.
"Let me do it!"
"But..." Luo Yi subconsciously wanted to argue. Although she couldn't help with cooking, she could still wash the dishes.
But seeing Gu Sireng's unquestionable look, he nodded and sat down again.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, brother."
After a while, Gu Si Leng quickly washed all the dishes, dried his hands and walked into the inner room.
Two minutes later, he returned to the living room and sat down slowly. In his hand was a square piece of green cloth with some dust on the surface.
Gu Sireng placed the green cloth on the table and opened it. Inside was a stack of Great Unity and some food coupons!
First, Gu Sireng counted out sixty-six bills from the stack and placed them neatly in front of Wu Mengyue, saying softly, "Yueyue, this is your betrothal gift money.
Same as Yiyi's, both are sixty-six yuan."
Then, he divided the remaining money and the food coupons into two equal parts, pushed one part in front of Wu Mengyue, and placed the other in front of Luo Yiyi.
"This money is all the savings that Xiaohan and I have accumulated over the years.
From now on, I'll leave it to you two to keep.
As you know, we both served in the military before, and we basically sent all the allowances and subsidies from the army back home so that our families could use them to build a new house...
Who would have thought that he would be forced to return home due to injury and be forced to live in this old house?
These are the bonuses we left behind, which aren’t much…”
Wu Mengyue was the first to speak: "It's quite a lot. There are dozens of dollars here."
As she spoke, she gently patted the stack of bills with her hand.
Seeing this, Luo Yiyi, who was standing by, quickly reached out and picked up the dozens of dollars in front of him.
Although the number of these banknotes was not large, when Luo Yiyi held them in his hands, he could clearly feel their heavy weight.
She raised her head, looked at Gu Si Leng who was sitting opposite her, and asked doubtfully: "Brother, are you trying to split the family?"
Hearing this, Gu Si Leng quickly waved his hands and explained hastily: “No, no, no, I don’t want to split the family.
I just wanted to share the money among you so that if you two need it, you won’t be left without money.”
After hearing what he said, the stone in Luo Yiyi's heart finally fell.
She thought to herself that if they separated now, given her and Gu Sihan’s current situation, they would probably starve to death.
After all, Gu Sihan can’t even cook!
In any case, we should at least wait until Gu Sihan learns to cook before considering dividing the family.
At this moment, Gu Sihan suddenly sneezed loudly without any warning.
He rubbed his nose and at the same time withdrew his gaze from the banknotes in Luo Yiyi's hand.
Then, he said to Luo Yiyi with anticipation, "Yiyi, can we go buy lots of meat this time, and also my favorite White Rabbit candy?"
However, Luo Yiyi put the money into his pocket without hesitation and seriously corrected Gu Sihan: "No, it's enough to eat meat occasionally."
Suddenly, Luo Yiyi asked Gu Si Leng, "Brother, how much food is left at home?"
Gu Si Leng went down to the cellar, came back with half a sack of food, and sighed, "It's all here."
Luo Yiyi: “…”
This is too little!
Wu Mengyue frowned and suggested, "These grains are simply not enough to support the four of us through the winter. It seems we have to learn from others and buy some coarse grains on the black market."
Gu Si Leng was the first to disagree, “No, this is against the rules.”
Luo Yiyi: Oh, no wonder you can starve yourself to death even though you have money.
So it’s old-fashioned?
It doesn’t matter, the heroine will take action!
