Bai Ruozhen was already exhausted. Seeing that Gu Changqing was still serious, he kicked him in the stomach and said, "Get off."
Gu Changqing, whose animal instincts were aroused, was caught off guard and was unexpectedly opened by Bai Ruozhen. He lay on the kang with only his underwear on and sighed, "Alas, I'll spare your life."
Bai Ruozhen snorted, turned around, lay down between his two sons, and hugged them to sleep.
The next day, Aunt Gu and Uncle Gu came together as expected.
Uncle Gu said cheerfully, "Xiaobai, your aunt and I will take care of the two children for the next few days. You two should study hard. Maybe our Gu family will really produce a college student."
Bai Ruozhen now felt his whole body tremble whenever he heard about studying or taking the college entrance examination, but Uncle Gu's eyes were filled with so much expectation that he was speechless.
Forget it. I have to learn anyway, so I might as well do it happily and treat learning as cooking.
They all went back to work after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so Gu Changqing took advantage of the time to give Bai Ruozhen extra lessons.
Bai Ruozhen had a poor foundation and learned even more slowly, feeling sleepy after studying for a while.
Seeing that he was about to fall asleep on his stomach again, Gu Changqing simply closed the door and hugged Bai Ruozhen to press on him.
"What are you doing in broad daylight?" Bai Ruozhen was startled, fearing that Gu Changqing would do something wrong.
Gu Changqing snorted, "Next time I see you not studying hard, I'll do it. I'm not afraid of getting tired anyway." He added, "I'm not afraid of losing face either."
Bai Ruozhen blushed. If you don't feel ashamed, she will. It would be embarrassing if your second aunt and uncle heard it with the door locked in broad daylight.
"I will study hard and promise not to sleep." Bai Ruozhen made the promise pitifully while lying on the kang.
Gu Changqing kissed her on the lips and said, "Be good and be obedient so your husband can feed you well tonight."
So Bai Ruozhen really didn't dare to be lazy, and studied diligently except when she was cooking. If it weren't for her insistence, Aunt Gu would have wanted to take over the cooking work. But Bai Ruozhen felt that cooking and eating were the only time she could rest, and she had to grasp it in her hands.
At night, Gu Changqing kept his promise and fed Bai Ruozhen well.
Bai Ruozhen thought she could at least sleep in the next day, but Gu Changqing was so cruel that he woke her up at eight o'clock.
Until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the couple studied hard. They did not return to Xiahe Village on the fifteenth day. They had a meal with Gu Changsong and his wife, Gu Changlan, Gu Xiaoli, and Aunt Gu and her husband, and celebrated the New Year.
On the 16th day of the first lunar month, everyone started going to work and school. Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu reluctantly said goodbye to each other and went to work at the commune. Gu Xiaoli also took the earliest bus to Penglai.
Gu Changqing also reported to the company, and Bai Ruozhen finally went to work at school for the first time after giving birth.
Bai Ruozhen was very excited. It was good to go to school. She could cook several meals a day. More importantly, without Gu Changqing watching her study, she would have more time to slack off.
They hadn't seen each other for more than a year, and everyone missed her very much. Master Li and Aunt Pang surrounded her, asked about her two fat boys, and then couldn't wait to wash and cut vegetables for Bai Ruozhen to have a plate.
Bai Ruozhen waved his hand and cooked several dishes at once. Everyone was so moved by the familiar and delicious food that they burst into tears. They ate up all the food in less than a few minutes.
Aunt Fatty said, "You're finally here. If you hadn't come, I would have lost weight."
Master Li also sighed, "Yes, after all the hardships we have endured, we are finally enjoying happiness."
Bai Ruozhen was stunned by what they said. Why did they sound so pitiful? Could the food be bad when working in the cafeteria?
The younger Sun Fang couldn't help but complain, "The one who came to replace you is Director Xu's second daughter. Her biggest hobby is cooking for people."
"Isn't that good? This is our cafeteria." Bai Ruozhen didn't understand what the problem was.
"If her cooking skills were as good as yours, we'd all be happy." Sun Fang no longer wanted to recall the unpleasant memories. "The problem is, her cooking is even worse than Chef Li's."
Master Li immediately looked at Sun Fang.
Sun Fang shuddered and quickly added, "No, what Master Li cooked is at least edible, but what Comrade Xu Xiaofeng cooked is simply inedible. But I have to eat it."
After she finished speaking, the other colleagues in the room also responded with bitter faces. Auntie Pang took Bai Ruozhen's hand and said excitedly, "Xiaobai, you are simply the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens who has come down to earth. You have brought us light and hope."
Bai Ruozhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Is it really that exaggerated?"
Everyone nodded quickly, "Yes."
Old Li gave her an inscrutable look and said, "You'll know when Xiao Xu comes and tries it."
Others have to pay to cook, but Comrade Xu Xiaofeng has to spend her life to cook.
Bai Ruozhen suppressed a laugh, "Then why hasn't she come yet?"
"I don't know." Aunt Fat said she didn't know.
As they were talking, the cafeteria door was suddenly pushed open, and a girl of about seventeen or eighteen came in. Seeing Bai Ruozhen, she came over with surprise, "Are you Sister Zhenzhen? I'm Xu Xiaofeng, I've heard a lot about you."
Originally, Bai Ruozhen had imagined what Xu Xiaofeng looked like, thinking she might look like Xu Fugui. However, he didn't expect that Comrade Xu Xiaofeng didn't look like his father, but rather looked a bit like Second Aunt Gu. She had big eyes and smiled before she spoke. She looked cheerful. It was hard to believe that the food cooked by such a lovely girl was not delicious.
"Hello, Sister Xiaofeng." Bai Ruozhen only knew that her second aunt's niece helped her at work, but she had never seen her.
Xu Xiaofeng took Bai Ruozhen's hand and said, "Now that you're back, I'll hand over your work to you."
When the others heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief. From now on, their stomachs could finally be free.
