They look so pitiful.
Seeing her like this, no one continued to make things difficult for her, but Wu Lili's image as a kind person had long since collapsed.
Lin Qingyu, who stayed at home to catch up on her studies, had no idea what was happening to the educated youth.
She and Gu Shi had been running around all night, and she was sore and weak all she wanted to do was get a good night's sleep.
However, Gu Shi still boiled a pot of water for her and let her take a hot bath before going to sleep.
Otherwise, given Lin Qingyu's small stature, she would definitely get a fever if she got up.
After seeing Zhao Xiaobao off, Gu Shi hugged Lin Qingyu and snuggled into the blankets.
The two of them slept soundly, who cared what others thought?
When Lin Qingyu woke up, it was already three or four in the afternoon. The rain outside the window had stopped, and her stomach rumbled.
She glanced at Gu Shi somewhat embarrassedly, only to find that Gu Shi had his eyes wide open and was staring straight at her.
Lin Qingyu burst out laughing.
"I'm a little hungry, hehe!"
Gu Shi didn't move, but just scooted closer to Lin Qingyu.
No matter how long they've been married, Gu Shi seems to have inexhaustible energy, while Lin Qingyu always gets very shy at these times.
However, she was really tired and hungry today, so she glared at Gu Shi.
"What are you doing? I'm hungry, I want to eat!"
Coupled with her coquettish expression, Gu Shi instantly felt even less inclined to get out of bed.
He covered his eyes and said in a low voice, "Let me catch my breath, I'll get up and make it for you right away."
While Gu Shi was cooking, Lin Qingyu said, "Why don't we bring Xiao Bao back? How about we have hot pot today?"
She hadn't had hot pot in a long time and suddenly craved its taste.
Gu Shi had no objections and rode his bicycle to pick up the person.
Lin Qingyu decided to cook a base herself first.
Although there were many hot pot bases in the room, she still preferred to eat the ones she cooked herself.
Pour oil into the pot, and once the oil is hot, add the chili powder that you have pounded yourself.
After stir-frying for a while, crush the ginger and garlic and stir-fry them together, then add water.
Next comes the seasoning step. With the addition of various seasonings in the space, the flavor is more than twice as fragrant.
The vegetables have been washed and are ready to be cooked as soon as the two of them return.
Just then, Zhu Chunyan from next door came over. The food Lin Qingyu made smelled so good that she couldn't resist coming to take a look.
"Qingyu, what delicious food have you made at home?"
When Lin Qingyu saw the person coming over, she smiled and invited her to eat together.
"I've made hot pot. Sister Chunyan, please invite Brother Hongxing and Xiaojie to come and eat together!"
Zhu Chunyan just wanted to see what delicious food she had made that smelled so good.
"No, no, I'm just here to learn from you, to see how you do it!"
She tilted her head and looked at a pot sitting on the kitchen floor, steaming inside.
Lin Qingyu was genuinely inviting her, so she took her hand and said...
"Sister Chunyan, please eat with us. I've washed so many vegetables, it would be a waste if we couldn't finish them!"
Zhu Chunyan did want to eat it, but reason prevented her from agreeing: "No, let's not! That's not right. Tell me how it's made, I want to make a pot of it when I get home!"
Lin Qingyu pulled her along again and said, "Good sister-in-law, I sincerely invited you to dinner. Gu Shi will be picking up Xiao Bao soon, so you should bring Brother Hongxing and Xiao Jie over too!"
Then she took out the bowls and chopsticks and prepared them, saying, "I'm waiting for you, Sister Chunyan!"
Zhu Chunyan had no choice but to agree, and she went home to call someone.
As Gu Shi's neighbor, I naturally know more about him than outsiders.
At the very least, there is no doubt that Gu Shi's family has enough to eat.
She had just returned home when Gu Shi brought Zhao Xiaobao back with him.
"Wow! Auntie, what delicious food did you make? It smells so good!"
Zhao Xiaobao put down his little backpack and ran towards the kitchen with his little legs clattering.
Gu Shi also smelled the aroma, and even though he wasn't a picky eater, he thought it must taste good.
"Xiao Bao's back! Quickly wash your hands, we can eat right away!"
"It smells so good!"
When Lin Qingyu saw Gu Shi come in, she greeted him and said, "Go wash your hands too. I've invited Sister Chunyan and the others over for dinner. Would you like to have a drink with Brother Gu later?"
Gu Shi nodded in agreement. He could hold his liquor fairly well, but he wasn't a heavy drinker, so a little bit wouldn't hurt in this situation.
Not long after, Zhu Chunyan and her family of three arrived, the two adults carrying wine and a bowl of peanuts.
"I'm so sorry to have disturbed your meal!"
Zhu Chunyan handed the things she had brought to Lin Qingyu and said politely.
"A meal is more lively with more people, come and sit down! The pot will be ready to eat soon!"
The two families sat together enjoying hot pot, having a wonderful time.
People in this area can handle spicy food, and even kids can eat hot pot without any problem.
The adults chatted and laughed while the two children ate their meal. Zhao Xiaobao kept putting meat and vegetables on Gu Xiaojie's plate, his little mouth turning red from eating.
At this time, it's not convenient to take out the other side dishes in the room to eat, so we simply eat some cabbage, potatoes, and pork.
However, Lin Qingyu cut a lot of meat and made some meatballs, and the taste was simply amazing.
Near the end, Gu Shi and Gu Hongxing were drinking, while Lin Qingyu pulled Zhu Chunyan to continue fighting.
The two little ones, having finished their meal, were sitting to one side, drinking the milk Lin Qingyu had given them to relieve the spiciness.
Of course, Lin Qingyu's explanation was still malted milk powder, and she poured a bowl for Zhu Chunyan as well.
There was still a lot of meat in the pot, and Lin Qingyu was enjoying her meal, while Zhu Chunyan really couldn't eat anymore.
"Qingyu, let me catch my breath. I'm really full. What you made was so delicious!"
She leaned back in her chair, her face showing a satisfied expression after eating and drinking her fill.
"Oh? Okay then, I'll have two more bites, hehe!"
Gu Shi was talking to Gu Hongxing, "Gu Shi, there's something I've always wanted to say: I think you're a very decisive person!"
Gu Hongxing blushed; the usually reserved person became quite talkative at this moment.
"I've always felt that you don't belong in Pear Blossom Village, and one day you'll leave!"
Gu Shi hadn't drunk much; he was still relatively sober.
"Thank you for your kind words, please eat!"
He didn't continue the conversation, but instead put some meat on the other person's plate and continued eating.
The family was enjoying their meal in a harmonious atmosphere inside the house. If anyone were to pass by Gu Shi's house, they would surely be able to smell the rich aroma.
Meanwhile, Wu Lili, from the educated youth settlement, sat alone by the window, watching the wisps of smoke rising from distant chimneys.
Since she arrived, her family has only occasionally sent her some food and hasn't taken care of her anymore.
Wu Lili was just a young girl who had just turned eighteen, and she looked somewhat forlorn at this moment.
There was a knock on the door; it was Feng Chaochao.
He was acting impartially and came to check Wu Lili's work points.
The educated youth community had a common area used for meetings.
At this moment, Feng Chao called Wu Lili to that room, where there were other educated youths present.
