Chapter 296 He is a henpecked man
Bai Mei lowered her eyes and shook her head: "I thought so just now, but since you helped me, I will try my best to help you."
"Fool." Gu Yuehuai opened his lips slightly and uttered two words.
Before Bai Mei could speak, Gu Yuehuai continued, "I don't need you to recommend me to be an apprentice at the county hospital, but if you can help me borrow a few books so that I can build a foundation, then I'll treat you to a good meal tonight, is that okay?"
She doesn't know anything now, and would be a hindrance if she went to the hospital. It would be better to wait for the team to recommend her to attend a training class.
Hearing this, Bai Mei subconsciously glanced at Gu Yuehuai with a somewhat surprised look on her face.
She obviously didn't expect that after she proposed such a shortcut, she would be rejected by Gu Yuehuai. As a friend, she just asked her to help borrow some books about doctors. Was she afraid of bothering her?
This was the first time Bai Mei met someone like Gu Yuehuai. She felt a little regretful when she thought about comparing her to her younger brother and sister-in-law.
She is really a good person, a very kind and good person!
Bai Mei's smile relaxed and she said solemnly, "Don't worry, Yue Huai, I will definitely lend you a few books that are suitable for you. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me. When you have learned enough, I will recommend you to our hospital!"
Gu Yuehuai said with a smile: "Thank you very much."
Bai Mei blinked: "Why are you being so polite to me? We are friends."
After this chat, the atmosphere between the two became much more harmonious and familiar.
Bai Mei watched Yue Huai cutting pork, and hesitated for a long while before finally feeling that something was wrong, and said, "Yue Huai, let's just have a simple meal. I can eat sweet potato porridge, steamed bread, and pickled vegetables. I'm not picky."
Gu Yuehuai raised his eyes and glanced at her: "Just wait for the meal, don't save money for me."
Bai Mei bit her lip and whispered, "Every brigade is short of food now, so you have to be frugal, otherwise the food will be gone by the beginning of next spring. And you don't have to rush to eat the pork. If you are worried that it will go bad, I can pickle bacon and teach you. Or I can pickle it for you. It takes a long time to store it. It would be a pity to cook it like this."
Gu Yuehuai looked at her for a while and suddenly smiled.
She has made many friends in her life, but none of them have the same personality.
Wan Qinglan is carefree and does not care about details; Yao Meili is gentle and a typical good wife and mother, making her very suitable to be a wife; and Bai Mei is the most contradictory and complex one among them. She is beautiful and capable, but has an inferiority complex due to her family.
In terms of personality, she is the most gentle and likes to accommodate others. If you make friends with such a person, you will probably never have a quarrel.
For dinner, she cooked pork stewed with vermicelli and heated up some steamed white flour buns from yesterday.
While the food was still stewing in the pot, Yan Shaoli and Yan Shaotang woke up. When they saw Bai Mei, they were a little curious. After the two sides introduced themselves to each other, Yan Shaoli did not disturb them and went into the inner room to accompany Yan Shaotang.
Not long after, Gu Zhifeng and the others did not come back.
There was a huge group of people coming, and from time to time there were a few sounds of piglets crying, which made Bai Mei a little nervous.
Gu Yuehuai went out to greet people. As soon as he went out, he saw that the pigsty in the yard that had been abandoned for a long time had been put into use again. Two pink little pigs were playing happily in the pigsty. Gu Zhifeng and others were standing outside the pigsty looking inside, with smiles on their faces.
"Dad!" Gu Yuehuai called out, walked over to look at him for a few times, and said unhappily, "Your legs and feet are not flexible, but you still insist on joining in the fun. Is your foot okay? Let your third brother take you back and apply some medicine to prevent it from swelling again."
Gu Zhifeng listened to Gu Yuehuai's nagging, smiled bitterly, winked at Gu Xihuai, and the two went back to the house.
At this time, Bai Mei came out, and when she saw Gu Zhifeng, she said stiffly: "Hello, uncle, I am Yue Huai's friend."
Gu Yuehuai heard the voice and turned around to introduce: "Dad, this is Bai Mei, she works as a nurse in the county hospital."
Gu Zhifeng showed a kind smile on her face and gave a thumbs up, saying, "Xiao Bai is a nurse? That's amazing. Don't be nervous. Just treat it as your own home."
Bai Mei looked at Gu Zhifeng, her nervousness eased, and she smiled and nodded.
Yan Shaoyu didn't look at Bai Mei. He went to the yard to fetch water and washed his hands. He turned back and said to Gu Yuehuai, "Have you packed your things?"
Gu Yuehuai nodded and said, "Everything is packed. You can check to see if anything is missing. I made pork stewed with vermicelli tonight. You should eat more and go to bed early. I will take you to the station tomorrow morning, and then go back to work."
Yan Shaoyu nodded lightly and called Gu Tinghuai, asking him to come over and wash his hands, but got no response.
He raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Tinghuai who was still standing in front of the pigpen.
His attention at this moment was not on the two little pigs. Instead, he stood there in a daze, looking in another direction.
Yan Shaoyu followed his gaze and saw the woman standing upright in the yard.
He had a good memory and recognized at a glance the female nurse in the county hospital who was almost harmed by Huang Sheng.
Yan Shaoyu glanced at Gu Yuehuai and signaled her with his eyes.
Gu Yuehuai raised her eyes and looked quietly at Gu Tinghuai, who seemed to have his soul hooked away, and then looked at Bai Mei. She didn't know if she noticed Gu Tinghuai's gaze, but she seemed very restrained. Even with her head lowered, one could see a slightly awkward smile on her face.
Her eyes lingered between the two of them. This combination was something she had never thought of.
She could see that Wan Qinglan and Yao Meili liked her, but Gu Tinghuai just couldn't understand and treated them just like his sisters and friends. She just thought that her elder brother had never been in a relationship and was not familiar with this business.
Now it seems that it is not what she thought at all. It is not that they are unfamiliar with each other, but that the person is not the right one.
Gu Yuehuai cleared his throat and walked to Gu Tinghuai's side before he came to his senses.
She reached out and patted Gu Tinghuai on the shoulder, and said in a drawling tone: "Brother, don't your eyes feel sore?"
Gu Tinghuai suddenly came back to his senses, his face flushed red, and he stammered, "W-what? What did you say?"
Gu Yuehuai looked at him for a while and couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that his elder brother not only inherited his father's appearance, but also inherited his love brain. If this was true, he would definitely be a henpecked man in the future.
"Oh, nothing. I've prepared dinner. Want to go back and eat something?" Gu Yuehuai glanced at him with teasing in his eyes.
Gu Tinghuai's eyes flickered and he scratched his head. He didn't dare to look at Bai Mei again and walked into the house.
At this time, Yan Shaoyu said quietly: "Brother, don't you wash your hands?"
The corner of Gu Tinghuai's mouth twitched, and he really wanted to turn around and say to the two of them: You are really annoying!
He closed his eyes, turned around to wash his hands, and then ran back to the house as if someone was chasing him. This act of trying to cover up one's own guilt really opened Gu Yuehuai's eyes. In his memory, his elder brother had always been a calm person.
