Chapter 414 Gu Huai is in trouble
The decoration of the box is actually very simple, with white walls, but the table is round and the stools have been replaced with chairs.
The waiter showed the menu to Gu Huai, who then handed it to Yu Hui.
Yu Hui handed the menu to Zheng Rong, "Sister-in-law, you and Qiuyu, take a look and decide what you want to eat."
When Zheng Rong saw the prices on the menu, her eyes widened. Oh my God, this is too expensive. The price of a dish of braised pork is enough to buy five or six kilograms of meat in the countryside.
She didn't dare to order, nor did she want to order, she just wanted to leave quickly.
But the people from the restaurant were standing there. If she said she didn't want to eat anymore and wanted to go home to eat, people would laugh at her and it would also embarrass the youngest couple.
"We've been on the bus all day and don't have much of an appetite. We just want to eat something light. Sister-in-law, just take care of it. Don't order too much. We can't finish it if you order too much."
She said this because she wanted Xiaohui to just order two light vegetables, not expensive meat, and not order too much.
Yu Hui nodded, looked at the menu and started ordering. "I'd like a quail egg and braised pork, a chicken mushroom and lean meat soup, steamed crispy pork, and a pig's trotter stewed with kidney beans..."
Zheng Rong's eyes twitched. Why didn't Xiaohui understand what she meant and ordered so much meat?
"Xiaohui, Xiaohui..." She hurriedly called out to Yu Hui who was still ordering food.
The latter smiled at her and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, these dishes are light and without chili."
The waiter nodded and said, "Yes, there is no chili, it is very light."
Zheng Rong: “…”
The light she mentioned refers to green vegetables, and Xiaohui's light means light as long as it is not spicy.
Yu Hui ordered two light vegetarian dishes and a bowl of mapo tofu to go well with rice before stopping.
Zheng Rong: "If you order so much, will you not be able to finish it?"
"No." Yu Hui shook her head. "The children might have eaten it."
Zheng Rong: “…”
All right.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, the dishes were served one after another. Yu Hui and Gu Hongmei invited Zheng Rong and Gu Qiuyu to eat.
The food in this state-owned restaurant tasted pretty good. Zheng Rong was a little restrained at first, thinking it would be a waste if she couldn't finish so many dishes, so she ate with all her heart.
In the end, all the dishes on the table were cleared.
Gu Qiuyu touched her bulging belly and burped contentedly. "The food in the provincial capital's state-owned restaurants tastes different. It's much better than what we have in the county."
"What if it's not the provincial capital?" Zheng Rong continued.
Yu Hui paid the bill while going to the bathroom. The food on the table cost almost a month's salary for an average person.
"Have you finished eating? Then we'll go home." Yu Hui said, standing at the door of the private room.
"alright."
"Let's go home." Gu Huai picked up Beibei.
The group left the state-owned hotel and took a car back home.
When she got home, Gu Hongmei turned on the lights in the yard and pointed to the four bicycles parked side by side in the corner and said, "Sister-in-law, Qiuyu, the two new bicycles on the left are for you."
Zheng Rong and Gu Qiuyu widened their eyes in shock. They thought that Gu Hongmei had bought them new bicycles, one for each of them, but they didn't expect that it was actually one for each of them.
"Can we return the car?" Zheng Rong asked. "Qiuyu and I only need one. We don't need two."
Yu Hui shook her head. "I can't quit. A bicycle with an adult on it is still too tiring. One person can ride one and go fast without getting tired."
"..." Zheng Rong didn't know what to say. Xiaohui was really worried that they would feel uncomfortable.
The family entered the living room, and Gu Qiuyu's eyes lit up when he saw the TV on the cabinet.
"TV, this is a TV!" It was the first time she saw a TV.
Zheng Rong also walked over and reached out to touch it, but withdrew her hand for fear of damaging it. "Is this the TV that can play movies?"
"Yes, Auntie, I'll turn it on and show you." Gu Dong turned on the TV. Snow first appeared on the TV, then it jumped and a black and white picture appeared.
Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy was being broadcast on TV. Zheng Rong and Gu Qiuyu, who had never watched TV before, were immediately fascinated by it.
Although this one is smaller than the one shown on the movie screen, the people and scenery inside are exactly the same.
After looking for a while, Gu Hongmei called them to take a look at the room they were going to live in. They lived in the same room with Gu Hongmei, and there was an extra big bed in the room.
The bed in the study is too small. It’s okay to sleep on it for a few days, but it’s not very comfortable to sleep on it all the time.
The new bed was covered with new bedding and quilt, and it was obvious that much thought had gone into making them.
Gu Qiuyu sat down on the new bed and said, "It's so soft. My mom was worried that my dad's house didn't have enough bedding, so she brought another one. It seems I won't need it."
Zheng Rong pulled her daughter up and said, "You've been riding a tractor and a train all day, and you're all dirty, so you just sit on the bed."
Gu Qiuyu stuck out her tongue. She was used to it at home, but she didn't expect her mother to be so particular after coming to the city.
Zheng Rong wasn't being picky, but Xiaohui had carefully prepared new beds and bedding for them, so they must cherish them. Sitting on the bed while dirty seemed to be a bit of a waste of her kindness.
"Sister-in-law, do you want to take a bath? If so, I'll boil some water for you." The bathhouse was closed at this time, so we could only take a bath at home.
Zheng Rong: "Let's boil some hot water and take a quick shower. The train smells terrible."
It was her first time to travel long distances by train, and she experienced firsthand how crowded the train was. The smell in the train made her cover her nose with a handkerchief the entire time.
The smell of people, food, and poultry all mixed together in the crowded carriage. It was really dizzying to smell. She felt like she was covered in that smell.
"Then I'll go boil some water for you. You guys take a break and clean up first."
After Gu Hongmei left, the mother and daughter took out all the clothes from the bag and put them in the closet.
"Sister-in-law." The door was not closed, and Yu Hui walked in directly.
"How is it, is this room and bed okay?"
"It's more than okay." Gu Qiuyu's expression was exaggerated, "It's simply too good to be true."
"Thank you, Xiaohui, for preparing so many things for us." Zheng Rong expressed her sincere gratitude.
Yu Hui smiled and said, "This is as it should be. When we went home for the New Year, you and Mom prepared the same for us."
She is just like that. If someone is nice to her, she will be ten times nicer to them.
"If you're missing something or feel uncomfortable, just tell us directly. We're all family. No need to be polite or talk nonsense."
Zheng Rong smiled and nodded. She liked getting along with sisters-in-law like Xiaohui.
At half past ten, Zheng Rong and Gu Qiuyu had both finished their showers, and Yu Hui finally went to bed wearing her long-sleeved pajamas.
Beibei had fallen asleep hugging her father's arm. Gu Huai was reading a book with one hand. When he saw Yu Hui go to bed, he closed the book and put it on the bedside table.
As soon as Yu Hui got into bed, Gu Huai called her name softly, "Xiao Hui."
"What's wrong?" Yu Hui looked up at him, and her heart skipped a beat when she saw that his expression was a little strange.
Gu Huai organized his words several times in his mind before he said, "I'm going on a long trip in a few days."
"How far? Are we going to Beijing to study again?" Yu Hui sat up, supporting herself with the quilt.
Gu Huai shook his head, "It's a bit far." He was about to go abroad.
"I'm not going to study. As for what I'm going to do, that's confidential and I can't tell you."
This incident happened very suddenly and he only received the notice today.
Yu Hui had a bad feeling in her heart. If it was a secret that could not be told, it must mean that she was carrying out some dangerous mission.
