Chapter 139 Being Fed



"That's not what I meant. Okay, I'll take it out and show it to you, but you have to look carefully. This newspaper was not bought by me. It was asked by the educated youth to buy it for me. I will have to deliver it to them later." Gu Yongnian said.

Ding Hehua quickly wiped her hands clean and dry, then took the newspaper and started reading it like a baby. However, after reading for a while, she came across a word she didn't recognize, so she came over and asked Gu Yongnian, "What is this word?"

Gu Yongnian was frowning, so he just said it.

So he took the newspaper and said, "Let me read it to you."

Although he did not read many books, he at least finished elementary school. Later, as a tractor driver in the brigade, he also took special courses. He was much better at literacy than Ding Hehua.

So Gu Yongnian began to read the manuscript with great emotion. Although he had read it once last night, he still felt a lot when he read it again today.

I read Zhaodi’s question, “Just because I’m a girl, do I deserve it? Do I deserve to be drowned right after I was born? Do I deserve to be disliked? Do I deserve to give way to others? I’m obviously better at studying than my cousin, and it’s me who gets first place in the exams every year, not him! Why do you want me to give up my studies? I won’t accept it and I won’t admit defeat. My destiny is in my own hands!”

Gu Yongnian choked up for a moment, but was afraid of being discovered by Ding Hehua. After all, it was quite embarrassing for a grown man like him to cry while reading a novel.

But when I looked at Ding Hehua, she was already in tears.

Gu Yongnian: “…”

Ding Hehua wiped her tears and choked up, "Why is Zhaodi so pitiful? Zhaodi's family is so cruel. They treat such a smart and well-behaved child like a weed by the roadside just because she is a girl. Zhaodi's cousin is so selfish. He gets all the good things in the family. Why? I am so angry that I want to rush into the newspaper and slap them all in the face!"

In fact, Ding Hehua was also reminded of herself by Zhaodi. Although the situation of favoring boys over girls in her family was not as serious as in the story of "Zhao Di", her family did not like girls either. She had four sisters and a younger brother. In the past, all the good things in the family were given to her younger brother.

So when she gave birth to her first child, a girl, Ding Hehua was very afraid that her in-laws would dislike her and the child.

Fortunately, the Gu family does not discriminate against girls, but rather loves them very much.

Gu Yongnian scratched his head. Seeing his wife so indignant, he quickly comforted her, "Don't be angry, my wife. This is all written in the book. It's fake."

I seemed to have forgotten that I was also gritting my teeth in anger when I watched it last night.

Ding Hehua suddenly said, "Yongnian, you said that Weicheng's wife wrote such a story. Could it be that she had experienced such a thing herself? If that's the case, we should be nicer to her. She is too pitiful..."

Ding Hehua secretly made up her mind to be nice to Li Xia.

Li Xia, who had no idea of ​​Ding Hehua's thoughts, was brushing her teeth with warm water. This was her habit. Anyone who brushed their teeth with cold water in the middle of winter was a warrior.

After she finished washing up, Chen Dongju called her over and stuffed two big buns into her hands: "The ones with red dots are stuffed with tofu and pickles, and the ones without red dots are stuffed with pork and vermicelli. Try them all, your sister-in-law made them, they are so delicious."

Li Xia laughed after hearing this. It seemed that what she said to Ding Hehua was right. Chen Dongju was really praising Ding Hehua's skill in making dumplings.

She didn't feel very hungry when she just got up, but after listening to Chen Dongju's introduction, her stomach began to protest.

"Okay, thank you, Auntie." Li Xia thanked her and immediately took a bite of the bun stuffed with pork and vermicelli. It tasted really good and very fragrant.

"It's delicious. My sister-in-law's cooking skills are just great!"

"It tastes good, right? If it does, take two more!" Chen Dongju immediately called Li Xia and wanted to give her two more.

Li Xia was so scared that she quickly shook her head and said, "Auntie, no, no, I'm full after eating these two."

Although this bun is not as big as the ones in the army, it is at least as big as the ones in the army. Two are enough for her. If she eats four... I guess she won’t be able to eat lunch!

Unexpectedly, Chen Dongju thought she was embarrassed to be polite, and stuffed two big buns into her hands: "Don't be polite, Auntie, just treat this place as your own home, eat as much as you want."

Ding Hehua came out of the house and quickly said, "Yes, eat more. This pork vermicelli is delicious. Eat more. If you like it, I will pack it for you next time!"

If Li Xia had more room in her hands, Ding Hehua would have stuffed two more big buns into her hands.

Li Xia looked at her enthusiastic aunt and cousin's wife and couldn't say no: "..."

So, Li Xia finished eating two buns, took the remaining two buns and walked out the door, and saw Gu Weicheng and An An making a snowman from a distance.

The snowman has been formed, and all you need to do is add its facial features.

An An took a carrot that he found from somewhere and stuck it on the snowman's head, and used pebbles as the snowman's eyes.

"Wow! The stack is done!" An An clapped happily.

It also snows in Xiangcheng in winter, but it is nothing compared to the snow in the north. As a child, An An naturally likes to see snow.

At this moment, he caught sight of Li Xia and immediately ran over: "Mom, you're here! Dad and I..."

Then, Li Xia stuffed a big bun into his open mouth, and the rest of the words were blocked in his mouth, which looked a little funny.

Li Xia said, "It's urgent. Grandma gave Mom four big buns, but Mom could only finish two. You and Dad will have to take care of the remaining two."

An An opened his mouth and took a bite. He had eaten buns in the morning, but children digest food quickly and he had consumed a lot of energy after playing for a while, so he was able to eat more now.

Gu Weicheng came over, took the other bun from Li Xia, and said with a smile, "People here have big appetites. Auntie probably feared that you would feel embarrassed to eat too much, so she deliberately gave you a few more. I'll tell her that you are from the south and your appetite is smaller than ours, and she'll understand."

"I know, the madam is a nice person." Li Xia said, "My cousin's wife is also a nice person."

She told Gu Weicheng about seeing Ding Hehua in the morning, and laughed as she spoke: "You don't know how cute your cousin's wife is. She is just like a child, and she will be very happy if you coax her. I think if I hadn't been there, she would have jumped for joy."

Gu Weicheng also laughed: "When I joined the army, my cousin had just turned 18 and was not married yet, so I had never met this cousin's wife before. But from what you said, she seems to be quite easy to get along with."

"But." Gu Weicheng paused and kept it a secret.

Seeing that he was silent, Li Xia looked up at him and asked, "But what? Why don't you say anything?"

"But I think when it comes to cuteness, you are the cutest." Gu Weicheng said seriously.

Li Xia wrinkled her nose. Haha, that bastard started saying such sweet words to confuse her again.

She used to think that Gu Weicheng was a straight man who didn't talk much, but the more she got to know him, the more she felt that he was good at speaking. Coupled with his handsome face, he was really charming.

"Are you cold? Let me warm you up." Gu Weicheng said as he held Li Xia's hands in his palms. Then he looked around and found that there was no one around, so he put Li Xia's hands into his clothes so that they would warm up quickly.

An An, who was standing by, finally finished the whole bun, and then saw his father warming his mother's hands.

It's not the kind of warmth you get by rubbing it with your hands, but the warmth you get from putting it inside your clothes!

He remembered that before his mother came, he told his father that his hands were cold, and his father said to him: "It's okay, you won't be cold if you play."

An An: “…”
