Chapter 198 Physical Side Effects
Gu Wanxing pulled the corner of his mouth: "Nothing, I'll go back first, my dad is still waiting for my coal."
As she spoke, she made a gesture to go home.
Unexpectedly, Xu Hua caught up with her and blocked her way, preventing her from leaving.
"Wanxing, don't leave yet. Juanjuan did something wrong that time. So when are you leaving? If you leave again, make her leave."
Xu Hua looked at Gu Wanxing with hope in her eyes.
Seeing this, Gu Wanxing felt very embarrassed. After thinking for a moment, she decided to refuse: "Second Aunt, I have already found someone in my store."
"No, Wanxing, didn't we agree to let Juanjuan go? How can we find someone else?"
"How dare you say that? Ren Wanxing called you, why didn't you tell Juanjuan to answer it? If you don't go, you'll be too busy, and it's not possible for others to find someone else."
Zhao Liqiu retorted angrily.
Gu Wanxing silently gave the aunt a thumbs up. She felt that the aunt was her substitute.
"Second Aunt, my shop was too busy before, so I hired two more people. They have been working for more than half a month now, and they are doing a good job."
Her meaning was self-evident. It was impossible to fire someone else and then hire Gu Juanjuan.
"Mom, forget it. My sister is a big boss now, and she doesn't look down on poor relatives like us. Forget it, I can find a factory job."
Gu Juanjuan, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke at this time, but her tone was so sarcastic that it was really unpleasant.
Gu Wanxing couldn't help but secretly rolled his eyes.
"Yes, there are a lot of good jobs now, and my shop is really small."
There’s no room for a big Buddha like you, she added secretly in her heart.
"That's right, sister, just tell me you don't need that many people. And you said you only hired two people. How big can a clothing store be? If business is good, you wouldn't close the store in town, right? I understand, but you can't fool an uneducated person like my mother..."
"Just shut up and go home now. Don't embarrass yourself by coming out here."
Gu Minghui couldn't bear to listen any longer and shouted angrily.
Normally the child seems quite smart, how could he be so stupid?
He just didn't understand.
Gu Juanjuan was stunned by her uncle's shout and didn't know what to do.
"Xu Hua, hurry up and find a home for your daughter. Why is she becoming more and more clueless as she grows older?"
Zhao Liqiu also felt ashamed and glared fiercely at Gu Juanjuan, whose face flushed red.
Xu Hua's chest was heaving with anger. After a moment of silence, she slowly bent down and took off her shoes.
When everyone was caught off guard, she hit Gu Juanjuan's cheek with the sole of her shoe.
Snap——
"Ah, Mom—what are you doing?"
"I'm going to beat you to death, you idiot! That's how I fucking taught you, you bastard... fuck..."
The mother and daughter chased each other back home. From time to time, one could hear Gu Juanjuan's screams and Xu Hua's occasional bursts of Chinese folk songs in the yard.
"Go back, don't take it personally. Your sister probably just didn't understand it for the moment."
Gu Minghui still acted like a patriarch at the critical moment, and as he spoke, he grabbed a corner of the bag.
Seeing this, Gu Wanxing picked up the other foot.
Two people carried it.
"Let's go! My dumplings are all cold." Zhao Liqiu couldn't help but curse. He was really disgusted by his sister-in-law's behavior.
Gu Wanxing didn't say a word, but she seemed to understand that Gu Juanjuan seemed to be jealous of her.
She could still understand this little thought, so she absolutely could not accept Gu Juanjuan.
No matter what, she can't go to the store.
Relatives want you to live a good life, but they don’t want you to live better than them. This should be a common phenomenon in today’s society. She understands it and just stays away from them.
When he got home, Gu Tianming had already heated the kang with the old firewood at home. With the fire wall in the room, it was not so cold anymore, but it was a little damp. The room had become damp because no one had lived there for a long time.
The stove in the living room hadn't been lit yet, and there weren't any particularly large pieces of wood, just twigs, which didn't burn well.
He was a little surprised to see his cousin and sister-in-law coming in together.
"Why are you all here?"
"I made some dumplings and brought them to you two. I just got home and there's nothing here, so just have some first." Zhao Liqiu was a man who knew how to handle things, so he went into the kitchen and put the lid on the pot with the hot water.
A few relatively thick tree trunks were placed in the stove pit.
Gu Tianming was very happy when he learned that he didn’t have to cook and could eat dumplings.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with his eldest cousin, Zhao Liqiu told Gu Wanxing to remember to light the fire, and then the couple left.
After seeing the uncle and aunt off, Gu Wanxing told the old man what had just happened.
"Don't pay attention to her. She's grown crooked. She was such a good kid when she was young."
Neither of them took this matter to heart.
But Gu Tianming kept thinking about his second cousin's birthday party until after eight o'clock in the evening when the two of them finished eating the last few dumplings, and then he completely gave up.
"Your second uncle said it was his birthday today, and I was thinking of taking us out for a nice meal, but it was all in vain."
If he had known earlier, he should have done something good himself. His daughter is going to Kyoto tomorrow, and he hasn't prepared anything yet.
But he still went to the kitchen to see if he could make something, and saw flour, rice, meat, chicken, and eggs on the stove...
And the green cucumbers and beans?
There is no need to think that these were brought back by my daughter, she just brought them in because she didn't see them.
Gu Tianming thought happily that his daughter was still filial and much better than those who had sons.
Gu Wanxing planted all kinds of vegetables in the space, but she didn't plant potatoes and sweet potatoes. In any case, she didn't plant any root vegetables.
There is no time to turn over the soil and dig out the fruits.
Recently she plucked a ginseng as thick as a baby's arm. It was actually the most ordinary-looking one. She planned to learn how to prepare it, and then use the ginseng slices to stew a chicken or bones, and drink the soup.
Replenish your qi and blood to avoid getting out of breath after walking too much.
In fact, her body constitution has been completely changed by the space well water, and the effect of the elixir is minimal in improving her body. It can only play a role in special diseases or wounds.
After taking the pills, she no longer experienced the exaggerated detoxification effects of sweating and stench.
I also feel that my physical fitness is quite strong, but there is also a side effect, which is that I have a big appetite.
She can eat three buns as big as her face plate and still not feel full.
Gu Wanxing also checked ancient books. It was not that she ate too much, but the nutrition in the food she ate now was not enough for her body's needs.
Sometimes eating two big bowls of rice is not as filling as drinking a cup of well water.
So she tried her best to use well water to cook, or she had to drink a glass of well water for every meal, or she had to eat vegetables grown in the space.
That dish can also allow her to maintain a normal appetite.
Sometimes I feel melancholy and can only pray silently that the well water will not dry up. She drinks it this way because she is really afraid that the well will dry up one day in the future. Only with well water can such vegetables be grown.
Of course, this was just her unfounded worry. As of now, the amount of water in the well has not decreased at all, and the fog is even thicker than before.
She guessed that this space was also related to growing crops. Leaves could purify the air. The more crops she planted, the richer the spiritual energy in the space would be. So she would sow some seeds whenever she had time. As a result, her space now had more than two acres of vegetables. She didn't dare give them to others to eat, so she could only leave them there for the two of them to eat.
But she also wanted to eat meat, and she couldn't bear to kill the little babies she raised in the space.
So I thought it would be okay to add some ginseng or something when stewing the meat.
Gu Tianming was kneading dough in the kitchen, preparing to make dumplings. He has recently fallen in love with dumplings.
Gu Wanxing was reading the ancient books in the space on the warm kang. At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.
Boom boom boom——
