Chapter 250: Too Coquettish
Chu Dai agreed, "Yes, she is too spoiled."
Gu Qingqing glanced at him and said, "What about you? You let them crawl all over your body every day and secretly feed them canned fruit and canned meat in the middle of the night. Do you really think I don't know?"
The man suddenly fell silent.
Just as the meal was about to start, Chu Zhao came running in. He unbuttoned his military uniform, opened his shirt, and casually pulled the back of a chair and sat down: "Sister-in-law, bring another pair of bowls and chopsticks."
"Okay." Gu Qingqing didn't ask any more questions and went back to the kitchen.
Seeing him take off his military cap to fan himself, Chu Yuan ignored him and asked, "Where's your father?"
"We're having dinner at the Bai family. My mother went over to help today. Why didn't you go, Uncle Chu?"
"No one asked me to come over for anything." Chu Yuan poured himself a glass of wine.
He then passed the cup to Mr. Qin next to him.
"Why did you come here? Don't you know why you don't eat in the cafeteria when there is no food at home?" Chu Dai sat down next to him.
The two little guys were lying on the coffee table eating shrimp and egg custard by themselves, and they didn't need to worry about it.
"I do want to eat in the cafeteria. My mother urged me at home, and my uncles urged me in the cafeteria, saying that you and Rongrong are married, and now it's just Xiao Xiao and I. If it really doesn't work, let's get married."
Xiao Xiao glanced at Gu Canyang who was sitting across from him, and just as he was about to speak, he heard him say, "How can this be possible? With Xiao Xiao's personality, I would rather be single for the rest of my life and dedicate my life to my country."
Xiao Xiao had already forgotten what she was about to say. She glared at the man next to her and said, "What do you mean, am I not worthy of you?"
"No, no, it's just that I'm not worthy of you." Chu Zhao muttered, "With your temper, you can blow up my house."
Xiao Xiao snorted coldly: "It's good to know. I would rather not get married in my life. Whoever runs into you will be unlucky."
Chu Dai was enjoying the show, Gu Qinglie didn't care what they were saying at all. There were a lot of dishes today, and the big bone soup was milky white and smelled delicious.
The green spinach is especially delicious when stir-fried with mashed garlic. There are also his favorite spicy shrimps and spicy crabs. The chili here is comparable to the one at home.
"Qingqing," he said vaguely, "Is the rice cooked enough? Otherwise, I'd better give you all the wages and food coupons. You keep them for me. If you want to buy anything, just buy it from me."
"That's enough," Gu Qingqing said helplessly, "You can't have less food. Keep it for yourself. I have money to use."
"She does have money," Chu Dai scooped a bowl of big bone soup. He finally had some money in his pocket today, but it was taken away in the kitchen just now. He sighed and said, "The salary allowances of so many people in the family are all with her. It's enough for one person."
Not to mention Chu Yuan, the commander at the major military region level who had the highest salary and allowances, Qin Zhou's monthly pension was 298, and he refused even though the academy wanted to pay him that.
He had no children or relatives, so money was of little use to him. He lived and ate at the Chu family, so he simply gave all the money to Gu Qingqing and let her use it however she wanted.
We will definitely live together when we go to the capital in the future. He has allocated a house in the capital, so it will not be a problem to accommodate the whole family.
Gu Qingqing receives more than 800 yuan every month, and her two brothers often give her money. She hasn't counted the money for a long time.
She thinks she can be considered a wealthy woman now.
"Really?" Gu Qinglie scratched his head and said with a silly smile: "Why don't you keep it for me, and I'll come to you to get it when I need it."
Xiao Xiao and Chu Zhao finished their quarrel and started to eat. She was eating with the bowl in her hands and was amazed when she heard what he said.
Even though they are siblings, they would never hand over all their money to someone else for safekeeping. Who knows if they can get it back in the future? But the Gu family doesn't seem to have this concern.
Instead, one insisted on giving it, while the other refused to give it.
Seeing her naive look, Chu Zhao said proudly, "Are you dumbfounded? If you have been to Datunzi Village, you will know that everyone in my sister-in-law's family is like this." He is simple and honest, and never greedy.
"Have you been there?" she asked doubtfully.
"Of course, Uncle Chu took me there." Chu Zhao smacked his lips, a little nostalgic: "The dishes cooked by Uncle Gu are really delicious. He is generous with the ingredients. The roasted meat and stewed fish are very fragrant."
Chu Yuan nodded: "The third son of the Gu family is a chef in a state-owned hotel. Lao Qin, I'll take you back to try his food during the Chinese New Year this year." He has lived in the Gu family for several years.
"Okay." Old Qin smiled warmly.
Gu Qingqing didn't eat much meat, but she had a special liking for spinach. She was almost full after drinking two bowls of soup made from pig bones and fish bones.
Gu Canyang was the first to pick up his chopsticks. Seeing that he didn't want to eat anymore, Xiao Xiao followed closely and put down his bowl.
Chu Zhao found it quite interesting. He teased, "You used to eat two bowls of rice every meal at my house. Why do you eat less now?"
"What are you talking about?" Xiao Xiao stepped on his foot: "The bowl in your house is not even as big as a teacup, how can anyone be full? Uncle Chu, don't you think so?" she asked for help.
"Yes." Chu Yuan followed her words and said, "His father is poor and picky. He used to eat out of a large bowl, but now it's not even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth."
Chu Zhao burped and leaned back in his chair: "My father has never used a large bowl, right?"
"Who knows?" Chu Yuan said casually.
"?" Chu Zhao was completely speechless. If you want to speak for Xiao Xiao, please be a little more decent.
Gu Canyang didn't react to this and listened to them talking with no emotion in his eyes.
Xiao Xiao felt extremely frustrated when he saw that he didn't care at all.
Afterwards, he started talking to Gu Qingqing about other things with great interest, and his desire to conquer Gu Canyang increased instead of decreasing.
It doesn’t matter if she doesn’t say anything now, there’s a long time to go, and she has already established a good relationship with Qingqing, so she can be considered to have made inroads into the inner circle.
Gu Qingqing originally wanted to go to Xue's house to take a look. She looked at the man from a distance and shook her head slightly.
Xiao Xiao and Chu Zhao are both here tonight, so I'm afraid I can't go.
The two of them can stay until eleven or twelve o'clock.
After dinner, they sat at the table for a while, chatting about their own things. Chu Yuan finished eating last, and he asked Mr. Qin: "Want to play a game of chess?"
"Okay." Old Qin didn't refuse. "Playing chess is a bit boring, let's try something lucrative."
"Hmm?" This time Chu Dai and Gu Qinglie were both interested. Goudan rubbed his hands and said, "Can we join in? Just bet on who wins, and the loser will wash the dishes."
Gu Qingqing was just too lazy to move, so she reminded him, "We still have to clear the tables."
"Yes, wash the dishes and collect the table." Chu Dai smiled and nodded: "I bet on my father to win."
Chu Yuan thought that he was indeed a wicked son.
"Then I'll bet on daddy." Ever since Gu Qingqing married Chu Dai, Gu Qinglie followed them and called them in a familiar manner, which made Chu Yuan very happy.
"Brother, what about you?" He poked the arm of the man next to him.
"Dad." Gu Canyang said casually.
Xiao Xiao had figured it out. He didn't care who won. Wiping the table and washing the dishes were nothing to him.
Gu Qingqing said without hesitation: "Then I'll bet on father too." She trusted Gousheng very much.
Xiao Xiao originally wanted to bet on Uncle Chu, but seeing that the three brothers and sisters all bet on him, he simply changed his bet: "Then I'll bet on Uncle Qin."
Chu Zhao also smiled and said, "I'll bet on Uncle Qin too."
"I'll go get the chessboard. Godfather, is it in your room?" Chu Dai stood up and asked.
"Under the desk." Old Qin nodded slightly.
"good."
When he went to the study, Chu Yuan and the others had already gone to the tea table and sat on the sofa.
Gu Qingqing took Xiao Xiao to the kitchen to make tea. There were plenty of enamel cups at home, so they were enough.
At present, Xiao Xu and Old Qin's orderly will not show up at dinner time. They will only follow you out of the Chu family's yard, or come over when there is something important.
"Qingqing, is this tea brought from your home?" Xiao Xiao sniffed it and found it quite fragrant.
Unlike the varieties here in Nanyang.
"Yes, it's tea leaves from the old trees in the back hill. It's just a little bitter when you first taste it." Gu Qingqing just found it when she was tidying up things a while ago. She didn't know when grandma put it in the jar.
"Then I'll try it later." Xiao Xiao picked up the thermos and started adding water.
"Okay." Gu Qingqing watched her make tea, the fragrance of tea leaves overflowing, she smiled and said: "My grandma and second aunt like to make tea, but I don't like drinking tea since I was a child. Once I took a sip, my mouth was full of bitterness, so I spit it out."
"Is it so hard?" Xiao Xiao was a little skeptical.
"It's really bitter, but it has a sweet aftertaste." Gu Qingqing handed her a cup and said, "Try it. My grandma said that this kind of tea is good for your health. She must have brought it specially for my father."
Xiao Xiao was skeptical. He held the handle of the cup with one hand and supported the bottom of the cup with the other. He blew on the tea, then lowered his head and took a sip.
"It's really bitter." She stuck out her tongue, her expression a little distorted.
"Right." Gu Qingqing held two cups of tea, "I'll send them to Dad first."
"I'll come too!" Xiao Xiao put down the enamel cup and picked up another cup.
When I went out, they were already playing Go, with Chu Yuan playing the black game.
Gu Canyang saw that his nephew had only eaten half of the egg custard, so he carried him to the sofa and fed him slowly.
Xiao Niannian was particularly well-behaved in front of his uncle and opened his mouth immediately after eating a bite.
Little Tuantuan in Gu Qinglie's arms was not so obedient. He had to coax her a lot before she finally spoke up after he agreed to take her on a bicycle ride.
After finishing his meal, Shen Sui went upstairs to the study. He had fallen behind in a lot of homework during the week he was in the Construction Corps. He was a person who didn't need anyone to worry about him. He was very proactive and didn't need anyone to push him.
Chu Dai would accompany him to do his homework in the evening, and then talk to him about military affairs and history. Mr. Qin would expand on the knowledge he had learned and then guide him to a deeper level.
Gu Qingqing would sometimes sit next to him and mend his clothes, keeping him company, without saying a word.
Although he didn't say it, she knew that Shen Sui was very dependent on her and Chu Dai, and just having them by his side made him feel at ease.
"Dad, have some tea." Gu Qingqing came over with the tea, bent down and put it down: "Father, this is yours."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Qingqing." Chu Yuan took the teacup, blew on it to cool it down and took a sip: "Is this the tea you brought from your family? My aunt made it for me last time."
"Yes, I didn't pay attention to it when it was in the jar. I only found it out some time ago." Gu Qingqing said with a smile.
"My aunt's tea-making skills are beyond reproach. Old Qin, you should also try this tea. There is something mysterious about it."
"Hmm?" Hearing this, Old Qin also picked up the enamel cup beside him and said, "It's your turn to make a move."
Chu Dai sat on the armrest of the sofa and watched for a while, and found that his father's style of chess was very distinctive, with big and bold moves, and he would kill the whole piece with one move.
On the other hand, my godfather is neither hasty nor slow, and takes things slowly.
When Gu Qingqing stood up, she accidentally tripped over Gu Qinglie's outstretched leg and was about to fall onto the tea table due to her unstable body.
"Be careful!" Chu Dai quickly pulled the person into his arms.
Gu Canyang subconsciously reached out to block the corner of the table.
