Chapter 312 How to Sleep on One Quilt
The Gu family had also finished their dinner, and the whole family was sitting together, warming themselves by the fire and chatting.
Adults talk to adults, and children talk to children.
"Xiaohui, I heard from mom that your noodle shop business is booming. How much money can you make this month?" Wang Mei asked curiously while cracking melon seeds.
Yu Hui was just thinking about how to respond when Zhao Changying glared at Wang Mei and said, "What does it have to do with you how much I earn?"
"We are just curious. We are not going to ask Xiaohui for money after we find out." Tian Ying joined in.
Wang Mei was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "That's right, that's right."
This was the first time that Tian Ying, her sister-in-law, supported her. She was so surprised that she hadn't reacted yet.
Zhao Changying looked deeply at her third daughter-in-law.
Yu Hui smiled and said, "It's nothing, I do make a thousand yuan a month."
Wow, everyone in the Gu family widened their eyes. One thousand yuan, this is too much.
Gu Hai said: "I can sell a thousand yuan a month, so the net profit should be at least half of it."
Yu Hui: Is it possible that she meant a pure profit of one thousand yuan?
However, since they had misunderstood, she didn't intend to explain.
"Xiaohui, you are really capable." Wang Mei looked at her fourth brother's wife and praised her sincerely. Why didn't she realize before that she was so smart?
"That's right." Zheng Rong also said with a smile.
Gu Qiuyu looked at Yu Hui, who seemed like a completely different person, with admiration in his eyes.
Looking at my aunt who had become more fashionable and energetic after entering the provincial capital, I also had the idea of moving to the city.
She, Qiuyan and Qiuye are all about the same age. Qiuyan is now a female soldier, and Qiuye is in high school. If they are admitted to university in the future, they will also leave the village. Only she works in the supply and marketing cooperative in the town and stays in the village.
After hearing Qiuyan and Qiuye talk about the good things about the provincial capital, she also wanted to see a wider world.
"Xiaohui, do you still need help in your store?" Tian Ying asked Yu Hui with a forced smile.
Without waiting for her to answer, he continued, "My younger sister is about your age. She hasn't found a partner yet, and she doesn't have a job. Why don't you ask her to help you? You don't need to pay her much, just eight or ten yuan a month will be fine."
"If there's a suitable match in the city, please introduce one to her."
Her younger sister has high standards and wants to find someone in the city. If she can go to the provincial capital to help Yu Hui and live in the military family compound, it will be easier for her to find a partner who meets her requirements.
Yu Hui smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Third Sister-in-law, the noodle shop is currently not short of staff."
Zhao Changying glanced at Tian Ying with dissatisfaction. Now she wanted to marry her younger sister to the youngest brother, but she didn't agree. Now she wanted her younger sister to work in a noodle shop. What was she planning?
Gu Hongmei was afraid that her third sister-in-law would be unhappy, so she also said, "The store is indeed not short of people. Now, my fourth sister-in-law, Sister Qian and I don't work full days anymore. Everyone only works half a day."
This is not that simple.
"If we don't have that Sister Qian anymore, the store will be short of people, right?" Tian Ying said.
Yu Hui: "...Sister Qian is my partner. We opened the noodle shop together, so she's also the other owner. How could she have kicked the owner out?"
Zhao Changying frowned and said, "Ren Qianlan is a good person. She helps the youngest one look after the children. Xiaohui and Ren Qianlan opened the noodle shop together. If they make money, they'll kick her out and let their family take over. Isn't this just a stab in the back of Xiaohui and the youngest one?"
"How can Laoyao and Xiaohui continue to live in the military dependents' compound?"
Tian Ying is really thoughtful.
Gu Hai glared at his wife and said with a smile, "Youngest, sister-in-law, your third sister-in-law doesn't know anything. You don't have to take what she says to heart."
Even if Yu Hui Noodle House is really short of people, it should be someone from their Gu family, and it would never be the turn of someone from her Tian family.
If you say you're going to help, you don't need to be paid too much. But if you really pay too little, you'll have something to say.
She had a nice thought: going there, eating at the youngest brother's house, and staying at the youngest brother's house.
Tian Ying lowered her head with a red face. Gu Hai said this to her in front of the whole family, young and old, and he really didn't give her any face at all.
"It's okay." Gu Huai replied calmly.
We chatted until almost nine o'clock, and then Zhao Changying asked us to boil some hot water, wash our faces and feet, and go to bed.
It was already half past nine when she finished washing up. Yu Hui stood in front of the bunk bed and saw that there was only a quilt on the bed. She felt a little confused.
After using the toilet, Gu Huai walked into the bedroom and closed the door.
"Why are you standing by the bed instead of sleeping?"
Yu Hui pointed at the quilt on the bed and said, "There is only one quilt."
The quilt was thick and wide enough to cover two adults and one child, but it also meant they had to sleep in the same bed.
Gu Huai understood and wanted to turn around and ask his mother for a quilt, but he just lifted his foot and put it down again.
"I'm afraid there aren't any extra quilts at home, otherwise Mom would have prepared two for us."
Yes, it’s not cheap to make a quilt these days. With so many people coming back at once, the Gu family might not have enough quilts.
Her mother also prepared new bedding for her and Gu Huai, but they didn't know what kind of bedding they were using.
At this time, if I go to my mother to ask for another quilt, wouldn’t that be embarrassing?
"Forget it, just sleep like this."
Anyway, there is Beibei, the Chu River and Han River dividing the country.
Yu Hui climbed onto the bed and slept on the innermost side. Beibei, who was already asleep, slept in the middle. There was no electricity in the countryside, so Gu Huai blew out the kerosene lamp on the cabinet and got on the bed to sleep on the outer side.
Although the quilt is quite thick, I still feel cold when I first put it on.
Yu Hui huddled in the quilt, her body tense and trembling slightly from the cold.
She moved to the middle and leaned closely against Beibei. The closer she got, the less air was left above and there was less leakage.
Gu Huai could see that Yu Hui was very close to him, with only Beibei between them. He could also smell the faint scent of jasmine shampoo coming from her.
Yu Hui was really tired. Although it was cold, she fell asleep quickly.
Once she fell asleep, her hands and feet would involuntarily seek out sources of heat.
"Um."
Gu Huai, who was about to fall asleep, was woken up by the cold feet on his legs.
Even through the layer of autumn johns, he could feel the coldness of her feet.
Then a hand was placed on his arm and inserted into the gap between his arm and upper body.
After sleeping with her for so long, Gu Huai knew that she was cold.
So he turned over and slept on his side, clamped her cold feet between his legs, stretched out his big hands, and held both her and Beibei in his arms.
Gu Huai was like a natural furnace. Feeling the warmth, he slept more soundly and didn't move again.
Yu Hui was awakened by the crowing of a rooster. When she opened her eyes, she found that it was still dark.
The sun rises late in winter, but the New Year is coming soon. Adults don’t have to go to work and children don’t have to go to school, so there is no need to get up so early and they can sleep a little longer.
So she closed her eyes, but the next second, she opened them again and found something wrong.
Why is Gu Huai's face so close to mine?
Why does she have a hand on her waist?
Also, why were her feet clamped between Gu Huai's legs?
How could this happen while I was sleeping?
