Chapter 70 She suffered a lot of grievances
"Brother was beaten." Gu Nan added in a low voice.
"Ah!" Gu Xixi remembered, "Yes, my eldest brother was beaten. He put a dead snake in Mom's bed, which scared Mom, so she beat him."
"Many aunts came to scold my mother, saying that she was wrong. My mother was very angry and said that she would not be my stepmother anymore and would divorce me."
"Dad, please don't let Mom divorce you, okay?" Gu Xixi pulled her father's sleeve and shook it.
Gu Huai frowned. Gu Dong was really becoming more and more outrageous.
Also, as a mother, Xiaohui has the right to educate her stepson who is disobedient and does bad things. This is also their family affair.
What does it have to do with those people? Why do they curse?
It seems that Xiaohui suffered a lot during the time I was away from home.
"Did you participate?" Gu Huai asked Gu Nan while looking down at him. When he was at home, Gu Nan often followed his brother to play mischief.
Gu Nan's skin tightened and he shook his head repeatedly, "I didn't, I didn't even know that my eldest brother put a snake in my stepmother's bed."
"What stepmother? It's mom." Gu Huai patted Gu Nan's head and corrected his address.
"Mom." Gu Nan thought about how his stepmother had stood up for him and defended him just now, so he changed his words.
When I got home, Yu Hui was still cutting vegetables.
She moved the baby chair to the kitchen and put Beibei in the chair. She cooked while watching Beibei.
Seeing Gu Huai walk into the kitchen, Yu Hui raised her head and asked, "What did the doctor say?"
Gu Huai: "It's just a skin injury. I prescribed a bottle of ointment to apply."
"Do you need my help?" Gu Huai said as he rolled up his sleeves.
"No need. I'll start cooking right after I cut the vegetables. You can take Beibei out. There will be a lot of smoke when cooking. Don't let her choke."
"Okay." Gu Huai took Beibei out of the baby chair, held the child in one hand and carried the baby chair in the other hand and went out.
Yu Hui glanced at his back and continued to cut vegetables with her head down.
Gu Huai came back just in time. She had just gone to the grocery store this morning and bought a pound of pork belly and half a pound of lean meat.
She planned to stir-fry the pork belly into twice-cooked pork, and the lean meat into making shredded pork noodles in the evening. Since Gu Huai was back, she cooked them both at noon.
Gu Huai carried Beibei back to the main room and placed him on a chair.
He took the luggage bag and backpack that he had left on the floor into the study.
I thought I would take out the gift after dinner.
He bought gifts for every member of the family, both adults and children.
As soon as twelve o'clock arrived, the Military Region's No. 1 Primary School was dismissed.
Gu Dong's teacher kept the class going for a while, and as soon as the teacher said get out of class was over, Gu Dong rushed out of the classroom.
"Gu Dong." Yu Lixin and Yu Jianshe were waiting for him outside the classroom.
Gu Dong ran towards the two of them and ran out of the school with them.
Not long after running out of the school, I met Wu Chao and others.
"Gu Dong, are you wearing new clothes again?"
Gu Dong slowed down and nodded.
"The color and style of your clothes are nice, like the color of a navy uniform. I should ask my mother to make one for me tomorrow." Wu Chao looked around at Gu Dong.
His mother also knows how to use a sewing machine, but she is usually busy and has less time to make clothes.
"Where did your stepmother buy this fabric?"
Gu Dong: "The state-owned store in the city said that the material has just arrived, and many people in the city are buying it."
He wore new clothes to school today, and Sun Xiangdong saw what he said.
After listening to Sun Xiangdong's story, all the classmates said that his stepmother was good.
Whenever new fabrics came out, we would buy them and make new clothes for them.
Wu Chao nodded and said, "I'll ask my mother to go to the state-owned store to buy it on the weekend." There was nothing to do at school this week, so his mother probably wouldn't have to work overtime on Saturday.
Whenever there is an exam, his mother has to work overtime on Saturday.
Although they were in the same school, he never went to or from school with his mother.
Because her mother has to go to school early in the morning and has to do some things before going home after school.
Zhou Dabao and a few of his friends were walking slowly on their way home.
While walking, he looked back and finally saw Wu Chao and his group, so he stopped immediately.
He got up late in the morning and when he got to school the bell had already rung. He had no chance to meet Wu Chao and the others on the road and give them rat strips to eat.
"Dabao, why don't you leave?" a friend asked Zhou Dabao.
The latter glared at him impatiently and said, "Don't worry about it."
The little friend who was stared at by Zhou Dabao shut his mouth awkwardly and cursed him in his heart.
You fat pig, if it weren't for the little bit of food on your body, no one would be nice to you.
When Wu Chao and the others approached, Zhou Dabao took out the rat strips wrapped in oil paper from his bag.
He deliberately raised his voice and said, "Oh, I'm so hungry. Let's eat the rat strips my grandfather made."
When Wu Chao and the others heard Zhou Dabao talking about rat strips, they all looked at him.
Among the people who played with Wu Chao, Zhang Jialin was the greediest. After hearing this, he walked straight towards Zhou Dabao.
"Zhou Dabao, your grandfather can also make French fries?" Zhang Jialin felt something was wrong when he saw the French fries in Zhou Dabao's hand. The French fries that Gu Dong gave them last time were not of this color.
"Yeah." Zhou Dabao nodded. "Do you want to eat it? Here's one for you." Then he gave a piece of rat strips to Zhang Jialin.
Although Zhang Jialin felt that something was wrong and that it looked a bit like meat, he still put it in his mouth, took a bite, and chewed it.
"Why are the French fries your grandfather made with meat?" Did he boil the potatoes, chop them up, and mix them with the meat to make strips?
That’s not right. If it were like that, the meat wouldn’t be so chewy.
Zhou Dabao blinked and said as a matter of course: “If it’s made of rats, of course it’s meat.”
Aren’t the rat strips made by Gu Dong’s stepmother made of meat?
Zhang Jialin paused chewing, threw away the rat strips in his hand, and spat out everything in his mouth.
"Ptah, ptah, pah, ugh..." He even dry-heaved in disgust.
Wu Chao and the others clapped their hands and laughed at Zhang Jialin, "You're just greedy. You want to eat everything. Isn't dead rat meat delicious?"
Zhou Dabao stared at Wu Chao and the others, his mind a little confused. Why were they laughing? Why was Zhang Jialin so disgusted? Wasn't what they asked Gu Dong to eat just rat strips?
Zhang Jialin wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and glared at Zhou Dabao angrily, "Aren't you disgusting? You even eat mice? No wonder you're so fat. It turns out you eat all kinds of meat. How disgusting."
He spat at Zhou Dabao, returned to Wu Chao and the others, and left with them.
Zhou Dabao's face turned red after being scolded. He looked at the backs of Wu Chao and the others as they left, and then looked at the rat strip in his hand.
No, isn’t this the same thing as the rat strips that Gu Dong gave them to eat?
Zhou Dabao's friends all stayed a little distance away from him.
The friend who had been glared at by him earlier said, "Dabao, why do you still eat rat meat? My mom said rat meat is not edible because it has a lot of bacteria. In the past, in the countryside, only the extremely poor families who couldn't afford any meat ate it."
He said his family was so well off, so why was he eating rat meat?
Zhou Dabao's face turned even redder. He threw the rat meat in his hand and ran away with red eyes.
As he walked into the military family compound, an adult he knew said to Gu Dong, "Gu Dong, your father is back."
