Chapter 29 He Didn't
"Oh, this is Xixi." Qian Lan came back with a basket of cabbage and saw Gu Xixi standing at the door at a glance.
But the clothes he was wearing were something he had never worn before, and she didn't recognize them at first.
"Aunt Qian is Xixi." Gu Xixi raised her rosy little face.
Qian Lan looked at his new clothes and asked, "Are you wearing new clothes?"
"Yeah." Gu Xixi nodded. "Do the new clothes my mother made for me today look good?"
"It looks good." Qian Lan nodded while carefully examining Xixi's outfit. "The style is beautiful, the embroidery is beautiful, and our Xixi looks even better in it."
She didn't expect Xiao Yu had such skills. Look how energetic the child looks in the clothes. After seeing them, she wanted to make a set of such clothes for her two sons.
Gu Xixi was very happy to be praised.
Yu Lixin, Yu Jianshe and Gu Dong came back from school. Yu Lixin saw his mother carrying a basket from a distance. Thinking that his mother had bought some delicious food, he ran towards her.
"Mom, what did you buy?" Yu Lixin asked.
"It's cabbage, take it and eat it." Qian Lan showed the basket to her greedy monkey in a bad mood.
She picked these cabbages from a fellow villager she knew. Her home was in a village near the military area, more than half an hour's walk away.
When Yu Lixin saw the basket of cabbages, his face turned pale.
"Hey, Xixi, you are wearing new clothes?" Yu Lixin saw the new clothes on Gu Xixi.
"My mother made it for me this afternoon." Gu Xixi pursed her lips shyly and proudly.
"It looks really good." Yu Lixin said, and then he pulled his mother's sleeve and said, "Mom, please make me a set like this too. Look how refreshing it is in the summer. The one I'm wearing is too old-fashioned and ugly."
He was wearing a blue cloth shirt with a lapel, and his trousers were made of the same material.
Most of the children nowadays wear clothes of this style.
Qian Lan patted Yu Lixin on the head. This brat actually dared to complain that the clothes she made were old-fashioned.
"How is it old-fashioned? Isn't that how everyone dresses?"
"I made light-colored clothes for you, but can you wear them? In less than half a day, you'll be so busy playing with them that you can't even tell the colors." Everyone knows that light-colored clothes look good, but this boy is too playful. He's either climbing trees or sitting on the ground, and even the cleanest clothes will get dirty in less than half a day.
Dark colors are more resistant to dirt, and you can't see anything when they get dirty. But light colors like this will show up if they get a little dirty.
Yu Lixin grimaced and covered the back of his head. Damn, it must hurt when someone gets hit.
"Xixi?" Gu Dong looked at his third brother with some surprise.
"Brother, look, these are the new clothes Mom made for me." Gu Xixi turned around in front of her brother and asked, "Do they look good?"
"It looks good." Gu Dong nodded.
"Mom also made some for my younger sister and second brother. My second brother's is the same as mine, except for the embroidery. I'm a kitten, and my second brother's is a lion cub."
"Really?" Gu Dong pulled the corner of his mouth a little disappointedly.
My younger sister and second brother have it too, but he doesn’t.
That’s right, he made his stepmother so angry yesterday, how could she make new clothes for him?
Gu Dong entered the house, Gu Xixi said goodbye to Yu Lixin and the others, and went home with her brother.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw my second brother wearing new clothes.
"Big brother."
"Pot..."
Gu Nan and Bei Bei both shouted when they saw their eldest brother coming back.
Gu Dong responded in a depressed tone, not seeing his stepmother, "Where is she?"
Gu Nan naturally knew who her elder brother was talking about. "She went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. She said we're having hand-rolled noodles tonight."
Gu Dong said "oh", put his schoolbag on the table, and went to the kitchen with his lunch box.
Yu Hui was kneading dough. After Gu Dong came in, he put the lunch box on the chopping board.
When Yu Hui saw the lunch box, she raised her head to take a look, then continued to knead the dough with her head down. Seeing that she ignored him, Gu Dong lowered his head and walked out.
She ignored him afterwards, but last night, she comforted him when he was having a nightmare.
Gu Dong walked into the main room and took out his homework in a daze.
Gu Xixi and Gu Nan both noticed that their eldest brother was a little unhappy today. They both thought that he was unhappy about being kept after school at noon, so they didn't ask any more questions.
Before dark, the Gu family had dinner.
Chewy hand-rolled noodles cooked with bok choy, and a golden fried egg in the evening.
Beibei also eats hand-rolled noodles, but they are cooked a little softer.
Yu Hui fed Beibei before she started eating. Although the food was a little bloated due to soaking, it still tasted good.
After dinner, Yu Hui asked Gu Xi and Gu Nan to take off their clothes. It was cold at night and they would catch a cold if they continued to wear them.
The two brothers obediently took off their clothes, as they did feel a little cold.
Gu Dong didn't say much, and from time to time he glanced at the new clothes on his two younger brothers.
After dinner, Yu Lixin came to him to ask him to go out and play, but he was not in the mood to go.
When Yu Hui came out after washing the dishes, she saw Gu Dong sitting on the long chair with a droopy look on his face. However, she just thought that he was unhappy about being kept after class at noon.
She took out the wooden ruler that was inserted into the vase and said, "Gu Dong, stand up. I'll measure you."
Gu Dong looked at his stepmother in surprise and forgot to move for a moment.
Measure the size, why measure the size?
Seeing Gu Dong sitting still, Yu Hui thought he didn't want to measure his size, so she shrugged and said, "If you don't want to measure, forget it."
Gu Xixi blinked. Big brother doesn’t even want new clothes?
Gu Nan frowned and looked at his elder brother, feeling that he was not as determined as his elder brother. His elder brother didn't even want his stepmother to make new clothes, and directly refused his stepmother to measure his size.
Gu Dong moved his mouth, wanting to say that he wanted to measure himself and that he wanted new clothes, but he couldn't open his mouth. He could only watch his stepmother put the wooden ruler back into the vase.
Gu Dong: My new clothes!
The next morning, Yu Hui got up early and made egg-filled pancakes with pumpkin porridge. She also took some pickles from the jar and cut some porridge.
This kimchi was pickled by the original owner last month, and it is just the right time to eat it now.
After breakfast, Gu Dong went next door to call Yu Lixin and Yu Jianshe to go to school together.
"Gu Dong, what did your family eat this morning?"
"Egg-filled pancakes."
"What is that? Is it delicious?"
"It's delicious." It was his first time eating it, but it was delicious anyway.
"Oh, if I had known earlier, I would have finished my meal earlier and waited for you." Yu Lixin slapped his thigh.
If I had gone to wait for Gu Dong earlier, Aunt Yu would definitely have given him a pancake.
Yu Jianshe hit him on the back of the head and said, "Yu Lixin, you have some potential."
Yu Lixin covered the back of his head and hissed, "Why did you hit me on the head?"
Yu Jianshe said coldly: "Because you deserve a beating, from today on, I will go out with you."
Don't give him the chance to go to Aunt Yu's house to keep his mouth shut.
After Yu Hui finished cleaning up, she sent Gu Nan to the infirmary to change the dressing, and asked Qian Lan to wait for her to come back and go to the market together.
Children's wounds heal quickly. When Dr. Sun changed the dressing, he took a look at the wound and said that he could just come back tomorrow to change the dressing and there was no need to come again.
