"Sister, I think a few cornmeal steamed buns and some hot water will be enough. As long as it fills your stomach, it's delicious food."
Gu Guoliang thought about the huge sum of seven dollars he owed at noon. He was afraid that he would have to treat his sister to dinner in the evening. He had already promised to spend all his money. He and his brother paid for the clothes his sister bought today, and they had already spent all their money.
He can only pay back the IOU money after the village distributes the money at the end of the year!
Oh, I wonder if my parents and grandpa will remember to send them pocket money. I think they will definitely send money to my sister!
"Gu Guoliang, thriftiness is a virtue, but there's also a saying that goes 'save where you should save, spend where you should spend.' We can eat whatever we want, but your brother Weidong and Pei Xinghe are different. They've worked so hard to take care of you, you can't let them go hungry!"
Gu Qingmeng began to educate his two younger brothers. The brothers obviously remembered that others had taken care of their excrement and urine. Gu Guodong also felt a little regretful about tormenting Pei Xinghe.
No matter what he felt towards his sister, he had no obligation to take care of the two brothers. In the afternoon, his sister bought each of them a set of ready-made clothes to thank them, and he was a little reluctant to give it away. Now he thinks he was narrow-minded, and they should thank her properly!
Wanting to apologize but unable to save face, Gu Guodong glanced at Pei Xinghe several times. The young man clenched his fists and opened his mouth several times but no sound came out.
Pei Xinghe gained a better understanding of Gu Qingmeng's character.
Gu Qingmeng was responsible for all the expenses in the hospital these days. When they bought meals, the little girl would immediately give them the receipts, not letting them spend a penny. Today, she even bought them clothes to express her gratitude. She calculated the accounts very clearly.
His heart! He likes it more?
Looking at the paper bag in his hand, inside was a plaid skirt he bought. He bought it secretly today and wanted to give it to Gu Qingmeng. As soon as he saw the skirt, he felt that it suited her.
"Sister, I was wrong."
"Sister, we know we were wrong, don't be angry."
The two brothers admitted their mistakes quickly, and Gu Qingmeng was reluctant to say more to the two younger brothers. They were only twelve years old, so they were still children.
"Guodong and Guoliang, take your things and go back to the ward first. I have something to say to your sister."
Pei Xinghe felt that he should explain the rumors in the hospital. He had a premonition that if he didn't explain it clearly, he and Gu Qingmeng would drift apart.
What was Gu Qingmeng thinking about with his head down?
She also had something to say to Pei Xinghe, so she asked her two younger brothers to go back to the ward first. Gu Qingmeng took out the food coupons and meat coupons. Although she didn't know how much she spent exactly, she estimated that the number of bills she took out was quite a lot.
"What do you mean?"
Pei Xinghe's heart skipped a beat. Is this to draw a clear line between them?
"It's not interesting. You guys helped take care of my brother, so I can't not pay you and ask you to pay for it."
When their eyes met, Gu Qingmeng smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes. She was still a little concerned about the rumors in the hospital, and she also did not like Pei Xinghe's tricks on her.
If you want a formal relationship or want to make it public, you can tell her. She doesn't mean that they will keep their relationship secret. Gu Qingmeng wants to wait for grandpa and others to come and let Pei Xinghe make his own decision.
"You're angry, I can explain. I can explain the rumors."
"The day you fainted, I carried you to the doctor. Many people saw it. There was a shifty-looking man in the ward where you were hospitalized. He was a family member of the patient in the bed across from you. He...men understand men best. He had feelings for you. I was afraid something might happen, so I stayed with you the whole time. Some people said we were a couple, but I didn't explain."
Pei Xinghe paid attention to Gu Qingmeng's expression while explaining, for fear that she would not believe it!
He swore that he had only a little selfish motive. He liked to hear others say that they were a young couple, and he also liked to hear others say that Gu Qingmeng was his wife.
"Why didn't I see that person?"
Su Xue was with me last night. If this person really existed, she should have noticed it.
"Qingqing, you don't believe me!"
Pei Xinghe was sad, very sad. Qingqing didn't believe him!
Would he lie about something like this?
No, should we say he is a liar?
Pei Weidong: Brother, do you want to listen to what you are saying?
"I didn't say I didn't believe you! I said I didn't see the person you were talking about."
"That person didn't come to accompany you yesterday, otherwise I wouldn't be at ease with Amelia Su accompanying you. If there is anything in the future, I promise to tell you the first time and not handle things on my own."
Gu Qingmeng: ...
It was her fault. The problem had been going on since she woke up yesterday. Pei Xinghe really didn't have the chance to explain anything. Seeing that he had a good attitude of admitting his mistake, Gu Qingmeng didn't dwell on this issue.
As they walked into the hospital, it was almost time for dinner. They should go eat. If they went too late, there would be nothing left.
"Let's forget about this matter. What I hate most is people playing tricks on me, and I also don't like people ruling over me." Gu Qingmeng said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, even if it was just to remind the man to get rid of male chauvinism.
When I arrived at the ward, I saw Su Xue looking excited and Pei Weidong looking worried.
Occasionally he would steal a glance at Su Xue, his eyes full of pity.
Gu Qingmeng was confused. What were these two people doing?
"Gu Zhiqing, Xiaoxue hasn't found her relatives yet. Please comfort her."
Pei Weidong's eyes were filled with heartache. He had accompanied Su Xue to look for her relatives for a whole day and had visited all the housing estates near the steel plant. His relatives must be very sad that they couldn't find Xiaoxue!
The reason why he has a smile on his face is that he is afraid of worrying himself, so he is forcing himself to smile!
"It doesn't matter. I'll continue looking for my relatives next time I come." Su Xue said nonchalantly.
She visited almost all the family members of the steel plant today. Not only did she sell all the watches, she also sold 1,000 kilograms of rice and 2,000 kilograms of corn cobs. The transaction was completed in the evening.
Hehe! Today she is going to take her best friend out to stay.
"Xiaoxue, don't worry, I will help you."
Pei Weidong looked at Su Xue lovingly, thinking that he would go out early tomorrow morning and ask his friends to help look for her again, and also ask the police station.
When I find the person, I will give Xiaoxue a surprise.
Su Xue was thinking to herself, she must use the excuse of looking for relatives to visit the steel mill family compound a few more times! These people are really too rich! Fifteen watches were sold out in the morning.
If she comes a few more times, she can become a millionaire in minutes, just like picking up money.
She strolled around the whole afternoon and sold 3,000 kilograms of grain just by mouth without any goods. 3,000 kilograms of grain was all she and her best friend had harvested some time ago. They were so tired from cutting rice and picking corn that their waists were almost broken.
"Mengmeng, let's stay at the guesthouse today! We'll be back at Peijiagou tomorrow, and I want to go to the guesthouse and have a good shower."
Su Xue blinked frantically, and Gu Qingmeng knew something was wrong. She supported her bestie in everything she did. She nodded in agreement, saying she also wanted to take a good shower and have a good sleep.
Pei Xinghe stared at Su Xue for several seconds. How could this look like someone who had failed in their search for relatives? Her face was filled with excitement, as if she had found a fortune and was happy.
