He was so embarrassed he wanted to bury his head in the blankets.
Su Li chuckled, "Your brother Lu Huai just brought me a bowl of dumplings. I ate breakfast this morning and couldn't eat much, so I'm bringing it to you now. You can rest for a while."
"Sister Li, I'm fine now, you don't need to worry about me. If you don't believe me, I can get up and jump around for you."
After saying that, he threw off the covers, got out of bed, and jumped up.
Su Li; "......."
He really has the mind of a child.
"Alright! Now that you're better, put on a warm coat and come with me."
He was wearing Lu Huai's single layer of clothing at the moment. It was fine in bed, but it would definitely not be suitable to go out.
Gou Sheng looked around and saw his tattered cotton-padded coat on the ground. He was about to pick it up and put it on when Su Li stopped him.
"Your clothes are soaked with sweat, so you can't wear them now. Don't you have any other clothes?"
Gou Sheng nodded somewhat embarrassedly. That tattered cotton-padded jacket was given to him by the brigade leader a few years ago because he couldn't stand seeing him like that.
In winter, unless it was necessary, he would usually lie on the kang (a heated brick bed), which saved him both food and clothing.
"Wait here, I'll go get you some clothes."
Just as Gou Sheng was about to say no, Su Li had already walked out of the room.
He crawled back into bed; it was so warm!
Su Li returned home and took out a set of floral cotton-padded jacket and trousers that she had bought too big from the closet.
Let him wear this for now! She really didn't have any other clothes he could wear.
When Su Li handed the floral cotton-padded jacket to Gou Sheng, he was somewhat incredulous; "Isn't this your jacket, Sister Li?"
"Yes! Just make do with this for now, and I'll buy you a proper outfit when the snow stops."
Gou Sheng quickly waved his hand; "No need, sister, I have clothes, you don't need to spend money."
In the end, under Su Li's urgent gaze, Gou Sheng still put on that floral cotton-padded jacket.
Although it was very warm to wear, he still felt awkward, especially when he saw Sister Li's face trying not to laugh, which made him even more awkward.
"Let's go! Come to my place today for a lively New Year's celebration."
Su Li brought Gou Sheng home, served him the plate of dumplings, and told him to eat first. She then went to call Chen Shengnan over.
Couplets had already been pasted on the gate of the educated youth settlement, and the courtyard was quite lively. As soon as Su Li entered, several people's eyes turned to her.
"Su, you're here to see Chen, right? She's in the kitchen. I'll go call her for you," Zhang Xia said, looking at Su Li.
She knew that Su Li always came to see Chen Shengnan without exception.
Zhao Meilan, the "lackey," rolled her eyes.
Su Li looked at her coldly; "Say that again?"
Zhao Meilan couldn't stand it and spoke her mind without thinking. She regretted it as soon as she said it. Su Li was not someone she could afford to offend.
Upon hearing this, she consciously took a step back and remained silent.
Su Li turned to Zhang Xia and said, "Thank you for your help, Comrade Zhang."
Zhang Xia was flattered and waved her hand, saying, "It's no trouble at all, you can wait here for a moment."
Chen Shengnan came out quickly. Today, everyone at the educated youth settlement was preparing for a good meal, so they had already started working in the kitchen.
Chen Shengnan didn't expect Su Li to come over during the Chinese New Year.
"What does Su Li want with me?"
I'd love to spend the Lunar New Year with you. Would I have the honor?
Chen Shengnan had actually considered being with Su Li, but she was afraid that others would say she was always taking advantage of her, so she didn't bring it up. Unexpectedly, Su Li came looking for her.
"good"
I'll go get my share of food; you wait here for a moment.
Su Jiaojiao watched Su Li's every move from a distance, and for some time she had not been able to find a way to deal with her.
She couldn't win an argument, nor could she win a fight. Now, Su Li was not only eloquent, but her fighting skills were beyond her wildest imagination.
How can I kill her?
Chen Shengnan took the grain away, and she even specially cut off a piece of meat for the New Year. Now that she was no longer eating at the educated youth settlement, she certainly couldn't let others have it.
The group was actually quite dissatisfied, as they were all eager to eat the meat, but this person had taken away such a large piece of meat.
But the food belongs to someone else, and they're not eating here, so there's nothing they can do even if they're unhappy.
They could only watch helplessly as Chen Shengnan took the meat and food and followed Su Li away.
Seeing that she was carrying things, Su Li didn't stop her. The best relationship between two people is one of give and take.
"You have a lot of meat. I have another piece. Let's go back and make some dumplings for lunch, and then use the rest to make braised pork for dinner. What do you think?"
When it comes to food, Chen Shengnan rarely offers any opinions; she's generally not picky unless she's the one cooking it.
Okay, whatever you say.
When the two returned home, Gou Sheng had already finished eating and washed the dishes.
When Chen Shengnan came in and saw Gousheng, she couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Gousheng, what's with this hairstyle? It looks so strange!"
Gou Sheng was a little shy; "I, I..."
Su Li nudged Chen Shengnan and said, "Alright, stop teasing him. I'm the one who found the clothes for him."
Chen Shengnan then suppressed her laughter, knowing Gou Sheng's family situation, and said, "These clothes really don't suit him."
"I have a big black coat here, I'll get it for you to wear when I get back," he said, glancing at his floral pants.
She really had no other choice about the pants.
The three of them ate dumplings for lunch on New Year's Day, but the dinner was much more lavish. Su Li cooked braised pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, braised fish...
This was the first time in Gousheng's life that he had celebrated such a sumptuous New Year, and most importantly, he spent it with his favorite sister, Li.
