"Don't talk nonsense. How can a person stay up if they don't sleep?"
Making money is certainly important.
But what good is all that money if your health collapses?
Gu Nianxue helped tidy up the stall, and as usual, she went to the pork stall and bought a pound of meat.
When the two returned home, looking at the quiet courtyard, Gu Yanliu asked,
"Sister-in-law, why has my brother been gone for so long this time? It's been four or five days, why isn't he back yet?"
Su Nianxue didn't care at all, "If he's home, how can we continue our tofu business?"
"That's true!" Putting everything else aside, they couldn't even get past the first hurdle.
Some people just can't stand being nagged.
The two were talking enthusiastically when they heard the familiar sound of car wheels driving in through the door.
Gu Yanliu's smile froze on his face, and Su Nianxue also felt a chill run down her spine.
"What are you two wooden stakes doing standing there?"
"Hurry up and come help me with my things."
He had already parked the car, but the two of them were still standing there, stunned.
Is it really that surprising that he was only away for a few extra days this time?
Su Nianxue nudged Gu Yanliu.
"Oh, here it comes."
Gu Yanliu then realized what was happening, quickly took the meat hanging on his car, and ran into the kitchen.
Su Nianxue chuckled twice, "You're back. Are you hungry? I'll go cook!"
Gu Yanbai grabbed her and unloaded the things from the back seat.
"Let Yanliu go! You take these things into the room."
"What are all these things?" Su Nianxue asked, looking at the large pile of things in her hands.
Isn't it your dad's birthday in a few days?
"We have to go back." Gu Yanbai gave him a look that said, "Are you crazy?"
As a new son-in-law, his father-in-law's first birthday is especially important. Surely she wouldn't forget that?
"Oh, yes, that's right!" Su Nianxue slapped her forehead; she had completely forgotten about it these past few days.
Clutching her belongings, she walked silently into the room.
"Are you two hiding something from me?"
His voice suddenly came from behind, and Su Nianxue froze, a smile tugging at the corner of her lips. "What?"
"No, you two are really hiding something from me." Otherwise, they'd be acting way too strangely!
He turned her body around, his dark eyes staring straight at her.
"Speak, what is it? Don't hide it from me."
"No, really, no." Su Nianxue quickly waved her hand. "Let me put the things inside first!"
"OK!"
Seeing her flustered expression, he was certain that the two of them were hiding something from him.
But it's already noon, so let's eat first and then talk about it!
The meal was eaten quite quietly.
As is customary, the two went to their room for a nap after lunch.
"Speak, what are you hiding from me?"
He lay on his side on the bed, propping his head up with his hand, staring intently at her, as if determined to achieve his goal.
Su Nianxue suppressed the yawn that was about to come out. Oh well, this matter couldn't be kept secret anyway.
"Um...we did...keep something from you!"
"explain!"
His eyes were unreadable, fixed on her without blinking.
Under his gaze, Su Nianxue nervously swallowed, "We... went to... sell tofu this morning!"
Sure enough, as soon as he said that, his eyes, which had been holding a smile, turned completely cold.
"Su Nianxue, you've got some nerve."
Have you even learned to hide things from me and act secretly?
Are you ignoring what Lao Tzu said?
"Didn't I tell you not to do it? Are you just going to go against me?"
"It's not that I'm trying to go against you, it's just that Yanliu and I are so bored at home."
Looking into her angry eyes, Su Nianxue replied gently, trying to reason with him.
"Didn't I tell you to grow bean sprouts and sell them?"
He was in a fit of anger, so his voice was inevitably a bit louder.
Gu Yanliu's voice immediately came from outside, "Brother, don't blame my sister-in-law, I was the one who pestered her to do it."
"Gu Yanliu, you've really grown bold, daring to eavesdrop on our conversation?" Gu Yanbai's icy voice came from inside the room.
She didn't need to look to know that his expression must be extremely unpleasant, but she still mustered up the courage to retort.
"No, you were just talking too loudly."
"Get back to your room, I'll settle the score with you later."
Don't worry, don't try to stand out, neither of you will escape.
I'll deal with you all one by one later!
Seeing that Gu Yanliu was still standing outside the door, Su Nianxue called out to the door, "Yanliu, why don't you go back to your room and get some sleep?"
After hearing Su Nianxue's words, Gu Yanliu said "oh" and left.
Gu Yanbai...
"That ungrateful wretch, has she forgotten who raised her?"
He's only been gone a few days, and the two of them are already wearing the same pair of pants!
"Don't say that. Yanliu is very worried about you. She's been talking about you every day while you've been away."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yanbai's expression softened somewhat. "And what about you?"
"What?"
Seeing her blank expression, Gu Yanbai knew she wasn't taking it seriously at all, and suddenly felt a little stifled.
"Stop changing the subject, we're still talking about tofu!"
"We're talking about the tofu. It took us several days to get everything ready."
You don't know, even Grandpa praised my tofu.
Besides, our business is pretty good today, so I thought…”
The more Su Nianxue spoke, the brighter her face became, and she seemed to have forgotten that Gu Yanbai was still angry.
