Gu Bin panicked and quickly tried to salvage the situation: "Chao Chao, Uncle really didn't mean it. Last night, Uncle was so hungry that he ate all the chestnuts. Uncle will never make such a mistake again. Can you forgive Uncle this time?"
Chaochao turned her face away, crossed her arms, and tilted her head back as if she was very angry.
Gu Bin quickly tried to make amends, saying, "This time it was Uncle's fault. Uncle will roast a big bag of chestnuts for you as compensation, okay?"
But Chaochao had already lost trust in Gu Bin. She pouted, turned her head away, and ignored him.
Their friendship has capsized and can't be salvaged.
In the end, Gu Bin apologized sincerely and even promised to roast a big bag of chestnuts for Chaochao, plus three big sweet potatoes, which finally managed to appease the little guy.
Seeing that he had managed to appease Chaochao, Gu Bin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had it so tough!
Xie Yan ignored the two people's business and stared at Gu Bin's stove. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. It was such a small oven, but it seemed like it could bake anything.
Xie Yan's mind was already filled with images of roasted sweet potatoes, roasted potatoes, roasted corn...
corn!
This thing is actually served at the thank-you banquet!
He had hidden a lot of sweet corn in his space, haha! Xie Yan's cravings were immediately aroused.
Turning around and seeing that the two had made up, she quickly asked Gu Bin, "Where did Uncle buy this stove?"
"I want to get one for my family too!"
Gu Bin shook his head and said, "I don't know either. But don't you already have a stove? Wouldn't buying another one be a waste?"
"If you want to grill something, just come over and grill it!" At this point, Gu Bin's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Xie Yan suspiciously, "Unless..."
"Did you get your hands on something delicious and want to eat it all by yourself?!"
Xie Yan's eyelids twitched suddenly. He glanced at Chaochao furtively, then immediately denied it with a serious expression: "What nonsense are you talking about? Am I that kind of person?"
Gu Bin, however, looked unconvinced and said decisively, "You are!"
Xie Yan's eyes widened, a hint of annoyance flashing across his face, and he retorted sarcastically, "Hmph! You think I'm like you!"
"They secretly ate chestnuts at night, but didn't leave any for Chaochao."
"It's a good thing our family treated you so well, always thinking of you when it came to the best food, and what did you do in return!"
"Sneaking around and eating alone!"
Having already been appeased, Chaochao put down the chestnuts she was peeling and joined the ranks of those condemning Gu Bin, shouting, "Yes!"
"Uncle Gu, you have disappointed me greatly!"
"They're not even as trustworthy as us kids!"
"Hmph! If Tongtong had been here yesterday, she would definitely have saved some for me."
As she spoke, Chaochao sighed like a little adult, saying she missed Tongtong.
Tongtong was taken to her great-grandfather's house by Zhang Linghui and Gu Bin yesterday afternoon.
The original plan was for the three of them to stay with the old man for a few days, but for some reason, Gu Bin said something wrong and was kicked out by the old man, leaving Tongtong and her mother there instead.
When Gu's mother came home from get off work, she didn't see her beloved granddaughter, but instead saw Gu Bin eating rice for free. She was so angry that she didn't even want to feed him.
Under the oppressive atmosphere of his parents, Gu Bin didn't even get a full meal, so he roasted chestnuts for himself late at night.
As a result, this chestnut meal almost cost him his close friend (his dining buddy) who was much older than him.
Gu Bin looked at Chaochao, who was angry again, and glared at Xie Yan. He was so angry that his teeth itched. He had finally managed to coax her, but Xie Yan, that dog of a man, even used his own daughter!
They're not even human!
After signing several "unequal treaties" with Chaochao, Chaochao finally agreed to reconcile with Gu Bin and promised to remember him when there was good food in the future.
Hearing Chaochao's words, Gu Bin finally felt relieved.
Xie Yan wanted Gu Bin to find out where he bought this oven with an oven, so he said, "My wife is thinking about learning to bake bread. She was even thinking of building an oven in the yard."
Gu Bin immediately understood, "So you want to buy one to use for baking bread?"
Xie Yan nodded hurriedly.
Gu Bin waved his hand dismissively, "Ours can use that too, why buy another one?"
"What a waste of money!"
Xie Yan: "..."
Although he cares a lot about money.
But I'd rather have a donkey so I can secretly roast food at home; just thinking about it makes me happy!
He glanced at Gu Bin and said irritably, "My wife doesn't have your thick skin. She can't keep running to your house like that."
Seeing that Gu Bin was about to say something, Xie Yan interrupted him directly: "Just tell me if you can ask about this stove for me. If not, I'll do it myself. Why all the nonsense?"
Gu Bin glared angrily at Xie Yan. If it weren't for Chaochao sitting next to him eating chestnuts, he would have given the guy a good dressing down.
Who is he talking all this nonsense for?
It's all because of him!
Who was it that complained about being poor before, saying they would tighten their belts to save money to buy a house?
Now they've become quite generous.
"Ask, ask, ask! I'll ask you!" With that, Gu Bin turned his head away in a huff, refusing to even look at Xie Yan.
Xie Yan rolled her eyes.
How childish! How old are you? You're still playing childish games like ignoring people when you're not having fun.
When Xie Yan led Chaochao home, they saw two small chairs with exquisite carvings as soon as they entered the courtyard.
Chaochao's eyes lit up instantly, and with an excited "whoosh," she pounced on the rabbit like a happy little rabbit.
She looked left and right, touching them with delight in her eyes.
The little guy is quite adorable. He clearly loves it, but he still pretends to be reserved and asks, "Mommy, is this for me?"
Yu Yuehui couldn't help but gently tap her little nose, teasing her with a smile: "It's not for you, it's for me!"
Upon hearing this, Chaochao immediately abandoned her reserve and plopped down to claim the spot. Only then did she say with a straight face, "No, it's for me. Mom, look, it's just right for me. It's too small for you."
Yu Yuehui nodded seriously, "You're right, it is indeed too small. I'll take it apart and remake it later."
When Chaochao heard that her little chair was going to be dismantled, she immediately became agitated, jumped off the chair, and ran away with it in her arms.
It looks like it was taken to the backyard.
Xie Yan smiled and walked over, "Try to be gentler next time, or you'll make her cry!" After saying that, he gently took Yu Yuehui's hand and carefully checked it over to make sure there were no small cuts on her hand before he breathed a sigh of relief.
He had heard before that carpenters often have some cuts or scrapes on their hands, and given how fast his wife worked, he was genuinely worried that she might get hurt.
Seeing how concerned he was about her, Yu Yue felt a warmth in her heart and smiled, saying, "Don't I know my daughter well enough?"
"She's not the type to cry just from being teased!"
"She definitely knows I'm just teasing her!"
