"I stayed there until three o'clock, thinking you would be awake by now, so I brought the child back, but you were still sleeping." Gu Zhao said.
Tian Tian glanced at the still-closed bedroom door. "Is my aunt still asleep?"
"No, I didn't see her leave the room after I came back." Gu Zhao said in a low voice.
"I didn't sleep well the night before yesterday. I didn't dare to sleep all night in the car last night either. I was so tired when I got home." Tian Tian said as she sat next to Gu Zhao.
After arriving home, she felt inexplicably safe, her whole body relaxed, and she slept soundly.
"I see that your eyes are a little red and swollen. Did you cry?" Gu Zhao looked at Tian Tian and asked.
Tian Tian nodded calmly, "I cried when I left. I didn't want to leave my parents."
In fact, she was also very reluctant to leave home for school before, but for some reason, she felt particularly reluctant this time. She couldn't stop her tears from flowing. She even thought about never coming back and staying with her parents for the rest of her life.
But she really missed Gu Zhao. Although she had been staying at her mother's place for nearly a month, she called Gu Zhao every few days. But a phone call is just a phone call, and it is different from seeing him in person.
Missing both sides, Tian Tian felt even more upset. The night before leaving home, she secretly cried hard in her room to vent some of her emotions. Only then did she feel a little better the next day. Otherwise, Tian Tian felt that she would really cry so much that she couldn't get on the car.
"You can't bear to leave your parents, right?" Gu Zhao didn't laugh at Tian Tian, but asked with great understanding.
Tian Tian nodded immediately.
"We'll go back during the summer vacation, right? During this time, I'll install a phone in our house so you can call home often."
Tian Tian's eyes widened, "You want to install a phone?"
Gu Zhao nodded calmly, "Yes. It's really inconvenient to call you during this period. I have to go downstairs to queue up every night, and there are so many people outside. It's hard to tell you anything. So I came up with the idea of installing a phone, and I'll install one for your house as well, so that it will be more convenient for you to call your mother."
Tian Tian immediately shook her head and said, "It's OK to install a phone at my house, but I don't think it can be installed at my mother's place."
"What's wrong?"
"My mother is reluctant to spend money. You don't even mention installing a phone. How much does it cost to install a phone? Just talk about the electricity used by the phone. My mother is reluctant to spend money. Besides, apart from me, there is really no one who calls home." Tian Tian said. Although life is better now, Lin Meiyu and her family are still very frugal where they should save. For example, there are electric lights at home now, but Lin Meiyu will not turn on the lights easily.
Whenever there is a need to use electricity, the whole family gathers together to use the electricity in one house.
"It's okay. Someone will call after it's installed. Besides, the electricity bill is just a few dollars. Just think about it, it costs a dime more to make a phone call per minute, and you have to pay extra. This is not more expensive than the electricity bill." Gu Zhao said.
Besides, Tian Tian is not the only child living outside the family. Tian Yuan is now in the south, and Tian Zhuo and others will probably settle here after graduation. They will have to call home when the time comes, and having a phone will be much more convenient.
"You don't have to worry about this matter. I'll ask our parents when the time comes. I'll tell them." Gu Zhao said.
After hearing what Gu Zhao said, Tian Tian was really ready to give up.
After An An finished drinking the milk powder, Gu Zhao put the bottle aside, picked up An An and burped him skillfully. After An An burped twice with a baby voice, Bu Zhao stood up again to coax An An to sleep. An An fell asleep very quickly. In fact, she was already a little sleepy when she was feeding just now, so after Gu Zhao stroked her for a few times, she fell asleep. Gu Zhao carried the child to the small cradle in their room.
Just at this time Chen Guihua also woke up. She came out with messy hair and mist in her eyes. It can be seen that she had just woken up. Even when she looked at Tiantian, her eyes were still dazed and confused.
"Second Aunt, you're awake. Are you hungry?" Tian Tian asked.
She was almost starving to death. She hadn't had a proper meal since getting on the bus yesterday. Plus, she had slept all day after feeding the baby. Now she felt like she could swallow a cow alive.
Chen Guihua touched her stomach and nodded. She was also very hungry. She had a big appetite. Although she had eaten a few bites on the train, those bites were nothing and she had already digested them all.
"I'll go out to buy some food. You guys wait at home." Gu Zhao came out of the room and said immediately after hearing Tian Tian's words.
He originally planned to take Tian Tian and Chen Guihua out to a restaurant for a meal, but An An was now asleep, and they could neither carry An An to the restaurant nor leave An An alone at home, so Gu Zhao decided to go to the restaurant and buy some food.
When Chen Guihua heard that they were going to buy food, she subconsciously feared that Tian Tian and the others would spend too much money, so she asked, "Can't we buy some food and cook it ourselves?"
"Of course you can, but isn't it more convenient to buy it in the canteen? And the prices aren't much different. They all require the same grain coupons, the same vegetable coupons, and the same meat coupons." Tian Tian said.
It is really cost-effective to eat in a restaurant. Before, when people went there, they just went to eat in a restaurant to improve their meals. Most of them ate white flour, white rice, and meat, which are expensive. Even if you don’t eat in the restaurant, it will cost a lot to buy a pound of meat.
The most important thing is that they are all tired after a whole day, and no one has the heart to cook. I can buy it from the restaurant and it can be eaten ready-made, and the taste is very good, so why not?
Gu Zhao changed his clothes and went out to buy food, and came back soon.
Looking at the three dishes Gu Zhao bought, Chen Guihua wanted to ask why they bought so many. The three of them couldn't finish the dishes now. They were still big, and one dish was enough for two people.
But Chen Guihua thought again that she was now living in someone else's home. Although she was her niece, she was not her biological son or daughter, so she did not say anything more.
After dinner, Gu Zhao was washing dishes in the kitchen, while Tian Tian was sitting on the sofa eating fruit and watching TV. Chen Guihua looked towards the kitchen, then looked at Tian Tian who was very leisurely, opened her mouth, but in the end said nothing and watched TV with Tian Tian.
