Li Hongying had a good plan, and Li Xiuxiu was excitedly looking forward to the evening the whole afternoon.
Before coming to deliver the meal, she changed her clothes and re-combed her two long braids. Standing at the door, she bit her lips hard to make herself look more beautiful.
Hearing this, Gu Ye looked at the large bowl in Li Xiuxiu's hand. It was a full bowl of sweet potato rice, which was packed tightly, with fried cabbage stalks on top of the rice.
Retracting his gaze, Gu Ye said gently: "No need, we've already eaten! You can take the food back!"
Because it is usually Li Xiuxiu who takes care of Ningning, Gu Ye is quite polite to her.
The most precious thing these days is food. Food is in limited supply. For a family like Chen Baozhu's with many children and a large population, there is not enough food every month, and yet they send him a bowl of food. It is impossible for Gu Ye to take advantage of this.
"Eat, have you eaten?" Li Xiuxiu was shocked for a moment, and suddenly remembered that she saw Gu Ye washing dishes just now. She should have thought of this, why would he wash dishes if he had no food to eat?
Li Xiuxiu's face flushed red, and she felt even more uneasy standing at the door. Especially since Gu Ye was very tall and very oppressive, Li Xiuxiu felt like she was trembling in front of him.
"Well, okay then..." Li Xiuxiu didn't even dare to look up at Gu Ye. She turned around and left with the bowl in her hand. She didn't even hear Ningning say goodbye to her.
"Who's here?" Jiang Yue came out of the house and saw Gu Ye and his daughter standing at the door, but there was no one outside, so she couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Aunt Xiuxiu brought food to Dad."
Perhaps it was the magic of French fries and ketchup that Ningning actually dared to answer Jiang Yue's question, although she was still a little timid when she spoke.
"Aunt Xiuxiu?" Jiang Yue searched her memory and it seemed that there was such a person.
"Send food?" Jiang Yue looked at Gu Ye again and asked doubtfully, "Are you not full?"
She remembered that Gu Yexuan had two bowls of rice, and those were not the small bowls she and Ningning had, but large bowls, which was enough for her to eat three days worth of rice in one meal.
"No!" Gu Ye closed the door and led Ning Ning to the yard. "Chen Baozhu's family was afraid that we would have nothing to eat at night, so they asked them to send it over! I'm full, so I asked her to take it back!"
As he said this, Gu Ye looked at Jiang Yue with an unclear expression. Although Jiang Yue cooked unusually tonight, who knew if it was just a whim on her part, and maybe she would go back to her old ways tomorrow.
It was just like she had been arguing for a divorce since the first night of their marriage, and had been arguing for so long, and today he agreed to a divorce, but she was unwilling to do so.
She is always so moody and has a fickle temperament. She treats both marriage and divorce as a joke.
"Chen Baozhu's family... Are you talking about Li Hongying?" Jiang Yue looked at Gu Ye, opened her mouth to say something, thought about it, and held back.
Forget it, her relationship with Gu Ye was not close enough for her to check his wallet.
But there is one thing Jiang Yue still wants to say.
"Gu Ye, I don't want Li Hongying to come to our house anymore. Look, I can clean the house by myself, and I can cook for myself now!"
Hearing this, Gu Ye narrowed his beautiful phoenix eyes and stared at Jiang Yue meaningfully, making Jiang Yue nervous. After a while, he finally said, "Whatever you say!"
"Hey! All right!" Jiang Yue immediately became excited and rushed over to hug Gu Ye. They soon separated. She looked up, her bright eyes staring at the obviously frozen Gu Ye, and said with a smile: "Gu Ye, you are so nice!"
Another point for Gu Ye being able to respect her opinion!
After Jiang Yue finished praising Gu Ye, she left immediately without staying because she was afraid that Gu Ye would get angry.
It is not easy to change Gu Ye's impression of her all at once, but she can praise him more when they are together, create some physical contact, and tease him from time to time. She has experience in dealing with this kind of steely straight man.
Jiang Yue is confident that she can change Gu Ye's impression of her.
However, when flirting, one cannot be too frivolous, nor too conservative. One must strike the right balance so as not to disgust Gu Ye.
On how to cultivate green tea!
Gu Ye stood there for a long time before his stiff muscles slowly relaxed. However, the place on his chest where Jiang Yue's head had rested and the place on his waist where her arms had rested felt a little sore and numb, as if they were being bitten by ants.

Li Hongying saw Li Xiuxiu carrying the bowl and then returning without touching the food. She asked curiously, "Didn't you go to deliver food to Captain Gu?"
Li Xiuxiu put down her bowl and answered with her head down: "I sent it, but Captain Gu didn't want it because he said they had already eaten!"
"Eat already? That's impossible! Isn't there no one to cook in their family?" Li Hongying was even more puzzled.
If there is someone to cook at Gu Ye's house, can they still pay her to do it?
"I don't know either! When I went over there, Captain Gu was washing dishes and Ningning was chewing some thin strips. Captain Gu said he had eaten it and asked me to bring it back!" Li Xiuxiu said weakly.
She pinched her thick braid with one hand, feeling a little sad. She had dressed up carefully and had been looking forward to it for the whole afternoon. She thought that when she went to deliver food to Gu Ye in the evening, he would have a good impression of her. She thought about what to say to him countless times, but in the end, she didn't even enter the door.
"What? You said Captain Gu was washing dishes? Then where was Jiang Yue?" Li Hongying was shocked.
"I didn't see anyone! There were only Captain Gu and Ningning in the yard!" Li Xiuxiu replied.
Li Hongying immediately said, "That lazy woman must have gone back to her room to lie down again! She does nothing all day long, she is so lazy! In my opinion, it must be Captain Gu who went home to cook!"
Li Xiuxiu thought so too, "Ningning must be hungry, so Captain Gu cooked for Ningning!"
Li Hongying had a look of anticipation on her face. "Captain Gu is a man of such status that Jiang Yue actually asked him to wash the dishes! What's the point of having a woman like this? I'm putting my words here, just wait, it won't be long before Captain Gu will definitely divorce Jiang Yue!"
Li Xiuxiu's eyes flashed with hope, "Really?"
Li Hongying snorted and put the bowl of rice that Li Xiuxiu brought back back into the pot. It was just right that Gu Ye didn't want it. Her own family didn't have enough food to eat. It was almost the end of the month and the rice jar was empty. Sweet potatoes had to be added to every meal. The boys at home were crying.
"You silly girl, isn't it enough to just show your appreciation when I ask you to serve the rice? Are you going to give away half of our pot of rice?" When Li Hongying poured the rice back into the pot, she realized that Li Xiuxiu had pressed the rice tightly. This was not one bowl of rice, but two bowls!
"No wonder Da Niu and Er Niu both complained that they were not full at night! You are a traitor. You haven't even gotten married yet, but you're already a traitor." Li Hongying cursed and pinched the soft flesh on Li Xiuxiu's arm.
Li Xiuxiu was in so much pain that tears came out of her eyes, but she dared not say a word.
Li Hongying let go only after she felt relieved. She did not take what happened today seriously.
"There are still ten days left until the end of the month. Our family can only last for three to five days at most. We have to find a way to get some rice!" Li Hongying was reluctant to spend money to buy food on the black market. She was thinking that when she went to cook for Jiang Yue at noon tomorrow, she would have to find a way to get Jiang Yue away so that she could put more rice in her pocket and bring it back.
There are only three people in Gu Ye's family, and they don't eat as fast as their family. In fact, Li Hongying would secretly take some away when she went to cook at noon every day.
Anyway, Gu Ye has a high position and a high salary. If their family does not have enough food, Gu Ye has money to buy it.
Li Hongying felt at ease with Mi Shun.
