Chapter 363 Why Lost
“…”
"Yes, Dad, go and get some food for Mom. You walk fast." Yu Lixin said with blinking eyes.
Mom works so hard to cook. Why should she cook a new dish just because my aunt can’t eat spicy food?
Yu Jianshe: "Dad, you should go quickly. If Mom and I go, the food will be cold by the time we get it back."
Yu Qiang: “…”
Bao Pandi didn't want his son to suffer, and even more so, he didn't want his son to spend money, so it would be best if Qian Lan could cook a dish.
But she was right. The fire was out and it was difficult to light a coal stove. By the time the food was cooked, the food on the table was cold.
"Why bother with cooking? Qian Lan, just go get some pickled vegetables for Xiao Juan..."
"Bang!"
Before Bao Pandi could finish his words, Jiang Juan pushed the dishes in front of her away and stood up suddenly with a dark face.
"I don't want to eat anymore!"
Who's such a good mother-in-law that she feeds her daughter-in-law sour pickles during the holidays?
Her sister-in-law didn't take her seriously and cooked a spicy dish. But her mother-in-law was even more excessive and made her eat sour pickles!
Why should she eat when everyone looks down on her?
Just starve her to death.
"Xiaojuan, don't be angry. Can you ask your elder brother to make you some braised pork?" Qian Lan held Jiang Juan and persuaded her.
Jiang Juan glanced at Qian Lan, and her dissatisfaction with her was half gone, but her dissatisfaction with her mother-in-law Bao Pandi became even worse.
This sister-in-law is better than my mother-in-law.
"Yu Qiang, what are you waiting for? Go quickly." Qian Lan frowned and urged Yu Qiang.
Yu Qiang had no choice but to get up, go back to the house, get the money and go to the cafeteria.
There are no meat coupons at home, so we have to go to the canteen to get braised pork, but we have to pay a high price.
Qian Lan looked at Yu Qiang's back, a sneer flashing in her eyes.
Yu Qiang almost ran to the cafeteria.
"Is there any more braised pork?" Yu Qiang asked breathlessly while standing at the cooking window.
"Today is a holiday, and many people came to order the braised pork. The braised pork is gone, but there are still some fish-flavored eggplants left."
"Then give me some fish-flavored eggplant." Yu Qiang took out money from his pocket.
When I got home, almost half of the fish in the basin were gone.
Yu Qiang placed the lunch box in front of his sister-in-law. "The canteen's braised pork is sold out. We only have the fish-flavored eggplant. You can just eat this. Tomorrow, when your sister-in-law and her noodle shop open, we can go have beef noodles there."
Jiang Juan was naturally dissatisfied with the eggplant, but with her uncle's words, she didn't get angry anymore and just ate it.
"Burp~" Gu Qiuyan slumped in the reclining chair, holding her round belly and not wanting to move at all, feeling dizzy from the food.
Yu Hui gave her some hawthorn cake and said, "Don't sit there. You've eaten so much. Eat some hawthorn cake and walk around in the yard to help digest it."
"Hey, thank you, mom, hiccup~"
Yu Hui glared at her angrily, "You too, if you can't eat it, just don't eat it. Why do you have to stuff it all in your stomach?"
"When I return to the company, I won't be able to eat such delicious food anymore, so I have to eat more." Gu Qiuyan said righteously with a pout.
Yu Hui sat down next to Gu Qiuyan and rubbed her stomach in circles. "Does it feel bad if you're bloated?"
Gu Qiuyan patted her belly proudly and said, "It won't break. I have an iron stomach."
"You are so nice, mom." Gu Qiuyan hugged Yu Hui's arm and rested her head on her shoulder, acting coquettishly.
Gu Huai looked at his niece and felt extremely envious. He also wanted to be as intimate with Xiaohui as she was at any time.
After the kidnapping incident, the relationship between him and Xiaohui seemed to have changed in the countryside, but after returning to the city, it seemed that they had returned to their previous polite state of treating each other with respect.
With the foot-warming bottle, she no longer needs to warm her feet herself, and she won't put her feet into her quilt when she falls asleep.
Yu Hui pinched Gu Qiuyan's face. Noticing Gu Huai's gaze, she tilted her head to look at him, her watery eyes asking him, "What's wrong?"
Gu Huai smiled at her and shook his head.
Yu Hui raised her eyebrows and asked Gu Qiuyan to get up and go outside for a walk to help digest the food.
Although Gu Qiuyan just wanted to lie down, she still obediently went out and disappeared. Gu Dong and the other kids followed her.
Just like a bunch of chicks following behind a big chicken.
Gu Qiuyan rubbed her belly and wandered around aimlessly, and unknowingly walked to the small Western-style building of Commander Zhan's house.
"Oh, I'm going to Grandpa Zhan, no, it's Uncle Zhan. We're at Uncle Zhan's house." Gu Dong habitually called Grandpa Zhan, but after realizing that was wrong, he immediately changed his words.
Gu Qiuyan raised her head in surprise.
How did I get here?
Speaking of which, winter vacation is coming up soon after the Chinese New Year. I wonder if Zhan Lang is back yet? Is he home?
No, I care about whether Zhan Lang has come back or not, and what he is doing at home.
Gu Qiuyan shuddered and shook her head quickly.
"Guard brother, is Uncle Commander Zhan at home?" Gu Dong walked up to the guard at the door and asked.
"Division Commander Zhan returned from Beijing yesterday. Today is the Lantern Festival, and he went to the troops to visit the soldiers."
Gu Dong nodded with some regret. He still wanted to go and wish Uncle Zhan a happy new year.
Gu Dong turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something and turned around to ask, "Has Brother Zhan come back yet?"
Gu Qiuyan swallowed hard and pricked up her ears.
"Not back yet."
Hearing this answer, Gu Qiuyan's heart suddenly felt empty and she was overwhelmed by a feeling of loss.
No, Zhan Lang didn’t come back, so why should I be sad?
Gu Qiuyan frowned, not understanding why she felt this way.
She took a look at the Zhan family's small Western-style building and hurried away.
"Thank you, brother. Happy New Year. We're leaving." Gu Dong and Gu Nan waved to the guards and followed their sister.
"Goodbye." The guard smiled and waved at them.
He quite liked the children of Deputy Captain Gu's family. They always looked clean, fair and plump, and very polite.
Because of the sudden feeling of loss, Gu Qiuyan was absent-minded on the way home.
It wasn't until I got home and watched TV that I put the feeling of loss behind me.
The movie playing on TV is "Spring Seedlings", which tells the story of Tian Chunmiao, the female team leader of a brigade in Jiangnan.
Yu Jianshe and Yu Lixin also came to watch the movie together. Halfway through the movie, Bao Pandi, Yu Zhuang, and Jiang Juan, who was holding a child, walked into the Gu family's yard.
The Gu family members were watching TV in the house. When they saw them coming, they were all stunned. The Yu Jianshe brothers even frowned.
They just didn't want to stay at home with grandma and dad, so they came here to watch TV. Why did they come to Aunt Yu and Uncle Gu's house?
Gu Huai stood up and walked to the door of the main hall, "Aunt Bao, why are you here?"
Bao Pandi smiled and said, "Don't you have a TV at home? My second son, his wife, and my little grandson have never seen one, so I brought them over to see what's new."
The person came to watch TV, and his family happened to be watching TV too. There was no excuse to chase him away, so Gu Huai had to invite him in.
The most comfortable lounge chair was full, so Gu Huai brought a bench and placed it next to the lounge chair, saying, "Sit down."
Bao Pandig glanced at Yu Hui and the others sitting on the reclining chairs and curled her lips. There were guests coming to the house, but they didn't even know to stand up and say hello and let the guests sit on the reclining chairs.
It was the first time that Jiang Juan saw a TV. She was so curious that she sat on the bench and watched it while holding her baby son who was sucking his fingers.
