Chapter 29 Jealousy



Once Su Nianmei devotes herself to something, she easily forgets herself. She starts reading after work and even takes out a small notebook to memorize English words and formulas while eating.

Gu Xiaobao often moved a small stool, sat next to Su Nianmei, leaned on the table, and looked at Su Nianmei with his head tilted.

Every time he saw his mother looking at the lower right corner of the book, Gu Xiaobao would always wait for a while. When he noticed that Su Nianmei no longer frowned, he would immediately sit up straight, lean over and gently turn the page with his chubby little hands.

Then the mother and son looked at each other and smiled.

After Gu Xichao returned home, the bedroom became his restricted area.

As soon as he pushed the door open and stepped in, a meat ball approached from the bedroom with cat steps seemingly silently, and used its little round head to hit him like a cannonball and pushed him out of the door.

Then Gu Xiaobao quickly closed the door and took small steps back to his small bench.

Gu Xichao: "..."

Su Nianmei rubbed her eyes and finally finished a big question. She looked up at the time and was surprised to find that it was already past twelve o'clock.

Gu Xiaobao went back to his room to sleep without knowing when.

Su Nianmei stood up and walked out. Gu Xiaobao's room door was closed.

Gu Xichao was lying on two chairs, his head resting on his hands, one leg curled up and the other hanging on the ground.

It doesn't look like he's feeling well.

The man in camouflage uniform looked tired.

Su Nianmei fetched some water with a towel and wiped the man’s face.

Gu Xichao's eyelashes trembled slightly.

In fact, he had already woken up the moment Su Nianmei pushed the door open.

He wanted to tease his wife.

Su Nianmei saw Gu Xichao's frowning brows, so she stroked them with her hand, hoping to help him calm his worries.

The trembling eyelashes suddenly stopped.

Gu Xichao is still waiting for his wife's next surprise.

There was no movement for a long while.

He quietly opened his eyes a tiny bit.

Su Nianmei walked out of the bedroom holding the quilt.

He quickly closed his eyes.

Su Nianmei tiptoed to Gu Xichao's side and covered him with the quilt.

She bent down, picked up the man's hanging calf, and was about to lift him onto the chair.

The man frowned and muttered.

His eyelashes fluttered rhythmically and he slowly opened his eyes.

Su Nianmei and Gu Xichao looked at each other and immediately let go. With a "pop", the calf that had just been raised fell to the ground.

Su Nianmei was a little embarrassed.

Gu Xichao looked at her, the corners of his mouth raised consciously, revealing two pointed little canine teeth, and said: "Wife, are you done?"

The voice sounded half asleep, vague and magnetic, with a charming flavor of just waking up.

Su Nianmei's ears numb when she heard this.

He lowered his head to look at the quilt again, and said with a smile: "Amei, are you willing to let me sleep here for a night?"

Su Nianmei wanted to say that she covered him with the quilt because she was afraid of disturbing his rest, but when she saw Gu Xichao's nonchalant look, she felt irritated for no reason, and the first thing she said was: "Didn't you even sleep in the wild during your military training? How could you not endure this kind of hardship? Why should I be reluctant to do so?"

Gu Xichao's eyes brightened when he saw his young wife saying one thing and thinking another. Su Nianmei still had the mind of a child and could not hide her expression, her mood was written all over her face.

He immediately climbed up the pole, stood up, hugged the quilt and walked to the room, "I am willing to endure the hardship, but I can't leave my wife."

Su Nianmei was so embarrassed that she reached out and grabbed the corner of Gu Xichao's clothes and said, "You haven't washed up yet, you can't go to bed."

Gu Xichao pouted and smelled the scent on his face. His face had just been wiped by his wife, and it seemed to still have some of her scent on it, soft and sweet.

He sniffed it hard and moved closer to Su Nianmei.

A clean and refreshing scent blows in your face.

Su Nianmei heard this dishonest man continue to say: "I think I smell pretty good. If you don't believe me, you can smell it."

Then there was another "pop" sound, and Captain Gu's arm was hit.

Gu Xichao felt that his wife's recent habit of hitting others when she disagreed with something was very bad.

Although it's like a cat scratching.

Su Nianmei starts studying as soon as she wakes up, and begins by memorizing English words in the morning.

Through these days of study, Su Nianmei had a general understanding of the entire knowledge system. She had a habit when studying before, which was to grasp the knowledge system first, set up the entire knowledge framework first, and then gradually fill it with knowledge like building a house, checking for omissions and filling in the gaps.

The general framework was already there, but there were still some vague knowledge points that she was not clear about. She wrote them down in a notebook and Zhou Tian discussed them with Qin Huai.

The young man was still carrying a small bamboo basket on his back, half of which was filled with medicine and the other half with books, just like before.

When explaining the problem to Su Nianmei, he always liked to push up his glasses.

He can use the most crucial and concise words to explain the main points of the question in detail.

Su Nianmei discovered that although Qin Huai, this young man, was young and looked gentle and harmless on the outside, he was actually very shrewd on the inside.

After answering Su Nianmei's questions, the studious young man discussed more questions with her very seriously.

Su Nianmei had only recovered about 40% of her high school knowledge, and sometimes she still had trouble answering his questions, but from the interactions between the two of them, Su Nianmei had learned a lot.

Qin Huai's family was in a difficult financial situation. He and his mother depended on each other and made a living by selling medicine. His mother's family was a family of barefoot doctors, and the only medical skills passed down to his mother's generation were the techniques of identifying herbs and making medicines.

Qin Huai's mother was in poor health and often suffered from various minor ailments, so a large part of the burden of supporting the family fell on Qin Huai.

The young man was able to study hard and prepare for the college entrance examination in such a difficult environment, which made Su Nianmei look up to him.

While chatting, Su Nianmei suddenly asked, "Do you have to deliver medicine to people every day?"

Qin Huai was stunned: "It's not delivering medicine. Every morning I have to carry medicine to the market to sell. Any money I can make is good."

He curled his lips and said self-deprecatingly: "The medicine in this basket is all the leftovers that couldn't be sold."

Su Nianmei took a look and saw that apart from the space for books, the remaining plasters were filled in the basket.

Qin Huai smiled and said, "Almost all the ointments can't be sold. We can only sell some cheap herbs. The production cost of this ointment is high, so the price is naturally higher. Ordinary people can't bear to buy it even if they want to. But sometimes if we can run into a big customer, we can make a lot of money."

Su Nianmei took a look at the ointments that were packed in large containers and asked, "Can you pack them in small quantities and sell them in small bottles?"

Qin Huai smiled bitterly: "It's not like we haven't tried before, but people are afraid of being poor, so they asked for a very high price before. Even if the price of the medicine was low or the quantity was small, they thought it was a precious thing. If you sell it at a low price, they will think that what you sell is fake and will be even more unwilling to buy it."

Su Nianmei thought that this was the truth. She pursed her lips and thought for a long time. She took out a pen and wrote and drew on paper. Finally, she wrote a simple plan and showed it to Qin Huai.

Qin Huai didn't care at first, but after looking at it carefully, he felt that it made sense.

The topics that Su Nianmei and Qin Huai discussed together were study and pharmaceutical business. Qin Huai had a strong learning ability and he always absorbed new knowledge crazily and could quickly apply what he had learned to other situations.

We adjusted the new plan to distribute small quantities of medicine for free on a trial basis and to give them to local barefoot doctors for promotion and publicity, which were very effective.

Qin Huai's predicament was slightly relieved, and he seemed to be more and more cheerful.

However, Qin Huai's mother's body became thinner and thinner, and her condition tended to worsen.

Su Nianmei's contact with Qin Huai has become increasingly close recently, which makes Gu Xichao depressed.

Gu Xichao suddenly started doing push-ups at home recently. When Su Nianmei came back, she often saw him sweating profusely.

Su Nianmei sat on the stool, hugged Gu Xiaobao and recited English.

Gu Xichao looked at his young wife for a while and saw that she didn't react, so he stood up, took the towel and hung it around his neck. Without wiping the sweat off his face, he went to the kitchen and got two oranges and handed them to Su Nianmei.

Su Nianmei picked up a small one, peeled it and ate it, she ate it petal by petal, Gu Xiaobao by petal.

Gu Xichao looked at the two people eating happily, narrowed his eyes, pinched the remaining big orange with his hand, and felt indignant.

In the evening, when Su Nianmei entered the room, Gu Xichao peeled the big orange and held it in his palm as if it were a flower.

Gu Xichao had just finished exercising and was only wearing a vest, revealing his strong muscles. He did not look as thin as a teenager and looked more beautiful and visually impactful.

Su Nianmei's heart beat faster.

Gu Xichao walked up to her and said seriously, "Ah"

She opened her mouth and bit the orange.

Then Gu Xichao asked, "Do you think this big orange tastes better or the small orange just now?"

Su Nianmei was a little confused: "Are you going to change your career to grow oranges?"

The second orange slice was fed in.

Gu Xichao's eyes were deep and he did not comment.

Su Nianmei tasted it deliberately and savored the flavor.

Nodded.

Gu Xichao continued to stare at her, taking the military's salute to the extreme.

She didn't think there was much difference between the two oranges. Being stared at by Gu Xichao, she always felt that she was carrying a heavy responsibility.

He broke off another petal, put it in his mouth, and sipped it carefully.

She said weakly: "I don't think there is any difference."

Gu Xichao approached: "Then why did you choose Xiaojuzi today?"

Su Nianmei was stunned and said casually: "Because I think small oranges are sweet, and concentration is the essence."

For some reason, she suddenly felt a little cold around her. He added: "It's possible that the big oranges only grow in size without having much moisture."

Gu Xichao didn't respond at all. He just broke the orange and swallowed it.

Su Nianmei looked at Gu Xichao's reaction and suddenly realized something. She walked up to him and wanted to pick up a slice of orange, but Gu Xichao cleverly raised his hand to block her.

"Actually, when I think about it more, I think the big oranges taste better!"

Gu Xichao asked back: "Isn't it just growing taller?"

Su Nianmei replied: "But it's rich and full! Small oranges are too sweet and bad for your teeth!"

Gu Xichao's expression relaxed.

Su Nianmei continued to throw the "bomb": "Brother Gu, you are so cute!"

The tips of Gu Xichao's ears turned red.

He broke off a slice of orange and said, "Here, eat it!"

The author has something to say: Su Nianmei: "Brother Gu, I like you"

Gu·Big Orange·Xi Chao: "Here, if you like me, I'll give you oranges to eat"

Brother Gu realized later that he shouldn't use the big and small oranges to test, he should use the old...

No, this isn't right either!

Gu Xichao: "Exasperated.GIF." I get so jealous that I even eat myself!
