Chapter 216 Gu Huai Massage
Wen Zhaodi was stunned by the scolding and said with a look of grievance, "How can this be my fault?"
"Mom decided how much meat to buy, how much stuffing to make, and how much dough to mix. Business wasn't as good as we expected, and we didn't use up all the stuffing and dough. It was you who asked us to pack them up and sell them today."
"Why is it that now that something has gone wrong, you are blaming me for everything?"
"When I was making dumplings this morning, I said the filling and dough had a smell, but my mom said it was okay and that the smell would go away after steaming, so we could still eat them."
Zheng Jiexiu looked at Wen Zhaodi with dissatisfaction. Just as he was about to speak, he heard his son say, "My mother is old and used to being frugal. She is afraid of waste and doesn't understand the consequences of selling spoiled buns."
"My mother is old and doesn't understand. Don't you understand either?" Secretary Wu pointed at Wen Zhaodi's nose and asked loudly.
Wen Zhaodi's breath was stuck in her throat, and she couldn't make a sound even with her mouth open.
She understood, but she didn't want to lose money, so she also had a glimmer of hope.
But even if she understood, we couldn't blame her. Although her name was written on the business license of the bun shop, it was the mother-in-law who made the decision, and she was just an assistant.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Secretary Wu shouted at her, "What are you standing there for? Come with me to the hospital, apologize, and pay for the medical expenses."
Wen Zhaodi sniffed and followed him out with red eyes.
The two bought two bags of sugar and a bag of malted milk at the grocery store and went to the hospital. Niu Li and Political Commissar Zhang were both there.
When they saw the two of them, Niu Li and her husband didn't give them a good look.
Secretary Wu apologized with a smile, said a lot of nice things, scolded Wen Zhaodi a few times, and offered an apology. Only then did Niu Li and his wife's expressions ease a little.
Zhang Jialin no longer had to take the IV drip, but the doctor said he had to stay in the hospital for one night for observation before he could go home.
The total medical expenses and hospitalization fees were three yuan and twenty-eight cents, and Secretary Wu gave four yuan.
"Anything extra can be considered as Jialin's nutrition allowance."
"Who wants it?" Niu Li rolled her eyes, took out 72 cents and gave it to him as change, not a cent more for their family.
He didn't give me any face at all, and I don't want to deal with anyone from the Wu family in the future.
Secretary Wu looked extremely embarrassed. He took the money awkwardly, smiled awkwardly at Political Commissar Zhang, and took Wen Zhaodi back.
After taking a bath in the bathhouse, Gu Huai returned home with the three naughty monkeys. He saw Yu Hui, who had also taken a bath at home and was wearing pajamas, sitting on a deck chair, frowning and pressing her shoulders with her hands.
Beibei didn't sleep at noon and fell asleep while taking a shower. Yu Hui had already put her on the bed in the bedroom.
"What's wrong?" Gu Huai asked as he led the three children into the house.
Yu Hui twisted her neck, and the pain in her shoulders and neck made her put on a mask of pain.
"Bending my head to knead and cut dough for so long, my shoulders and neck ache badly."
Hearing this, the three Gu Dong brothers all showed worried looks.
Gu Huai said: "Do you want me to give you a massage?"
Yu Hui looked up at him, "Will you?"
"Yes, my dad used to have shoulder and neck pain from working so hard, and I massaged him."
Every time after the massage, his father said it felt comfortable and praised him for his good massage.
Yu Hui hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, please give me a massage."
If I don’t massage it today, my shoulders and neck will hurt more tomorrow, and I still have to open the shop to sell noodles tomorrow.
Gu Huai walked to the back of the lounge chair, and just as he raised his hand, his eyes fell on Yu Hui's slender neck, and his breathing stopped.
Her neck was so slender that he seemed able to hold it all in one hand.
"Dad, what are you doing? Massage Mom quickly." Gu Xixi tilted her head and urged her father, who had his hands raised and his eyelids drooping.
"Oh, okay." Gu Huai came back to his senses, his Adam's apple rolling back and forth, and his big hands rested on Yu Hui's shoulders, massaging her.
"Ah..."
Gu Huai's grip was so strong that Yu Hui frowned and gasped in pain.
Hearing her cry of pain, Gu Huai paused.
"Dad, do you know how to press it? You even hurt Mom." Gu Nan frowned and complained to his father.
Gu Xixi: "That's right, that's right."
Gu Huai: "...Sorry, I used too much force."
Yu Hui waved her hand, "It's okay, just use half the force."
Seeing that she still wanted him to press her, Gu Huai continued pressing her, but with much less force.
"Is this the right strength?" After pressing it twice, Gu Huai asked in a low voice.
Yu Hui frowned and nodded, "It's appropriate. This strength is very good."
Gu Huai felt relieved. He lowered his eyes to look at the top of Yu Hui's head and massaged her attentively. He didn't dare to look anywhere else for fear of getting distracted.
At first, it was a little painful when pressed, but after pressing it for a while, I felt comfortable.
"Aha~" Yu Hui couldn't help but let out a comfortable sigh.
When Gu Huai heard the voice, he felt like he was electrocuted. His whole body froze, and his entire body from neck to face turned red and warm.
Noticing that he had stopped moving, Yu Hui opened her eyes and looked back at him, but because of the lighting, she didn't notice anything unusual.
"Why did it stop?"
Gu Huai withdrew his hand, avoided her gaze, lowered his head and said, "My stomach hurts, I'm going to the bathroom."
After saying that, he walked out quickly as if escaping, so fast that his feet left no shadow.
Yu Hui: You can see that he is really anxious.
"Mom, let Xixi help you massage." Gu Xixi took off her shoes and climbed onto the deck chair, looking at Yu Hui filially and said.
Gu Dong and Gu Nan looked at their younger brother, a hint of regret flashing across their faces. Why didn't they think of giving their mother a massage?
Seeing the little one being so considerate, Yu Hui smiled and said, "Okay."
She sat sideways, and Gu Xixi stood on the deck chair, using her soft little hands to imitate her father and massage her mother carefully.
He is small and his hands are not very strong, so the massage feels like scratching an itch through a shoe.
"Mom, is this the right amount of force?"
Yu Hui smiled and nodded. "It fits perfectly. It fits perfectly. Xixi's massage is really good."
With her mother's affirmation and praise, Gu Xixi pressed harder.
After pressing for a while, Yu Hui asked Gu Xixi to stop.
"Okay, it's getting late, you should go back to your room and go to sleep." Yu Hui said to the three children.
The three brothers nodded, said good night to her, and went back to their room to sleep.
Before entering the bedroom, Yu Hui walked to the door and looked in the direction of the bathroom. Seeing that the light was still on, she frowned and muttered, "Gu Huai has been using the toilet for too long, right? Isn't he afraid of getting hemorrhoids from squatting for so long?"
After muttering, she shook her head and turned to walk towards the bedroom.
Ten minutes later, Gu Huai walked out of the bathroom, washed his hands, looked up at the cold moon in the sky, and sighed heavily.
With his head hung, he walked into the study.
Lying in bed, I wanted to have a good sleep, but my mind was full of that slender neck and that sweet sigh.
I tossed and turned in bed for a long time before I fell asleep.
Although something happened yesterday, the Wu family still wanted to keep the bun shop open, so at two o'clock in the morning, Wen Zhaodi still took a flashlight and rode a bicycle to the meat processing plant to get meat.
Knowing that business would not be good, Zheng Jie Xiu only asked her to bring back 20 kilograms of meat.
