Bai Ruozhen insisted, "Eat a little."
"Don't eat it. If you can't finish it, put it away. Don't let some short-sighted people see it and cry about how pitiful they are and have no food to eat." When Zhu Guixia said the latter part, she glanced at Zhao Lai Di meaningfully.
Zhao Lai Di was too lazy to pretend to be pitiful in front of them. When she heard Zhu Guixia's indirect criticism, she immediately exploded with anger, "Zhu Guixia, don't go too far."
"Did I say anything about you?" Zhu Guixia said with a smile, "Please don't take it personally."
"You!" Zhu Guixia was so angry that she jumped up and down. "Don't go too far!"
Zhu Guixia didn't even glance at her, snorted and continued eating sweet potatoes.
Bai Ruozhen felt a little choked while chewing on a steamed bun. He shook the kettle and found that there was no water. He stood up and said, "I'll go ask them for some hot water first."
Then he took out his thermos and walked out.
In fact, among the four of them, only Bai Ruozhen and Feng Qiujuan had thermoses. Feng Qiujuan's was forced upon her by her parents when she came home. As for Zhu Guixia, her family was also in financial difficulty and they only had one thermos at home. However, her brother was too young and needed a lot of hot water, so she refused to take the thermos no matter what.
As for Zhao Lai Di, it was even more impossible for her to be pregnant. There were many children in the family, and she was the middle one. She would not even be able to bring the only thermos in the house.
So Bai Ruozhen took his thermos and borrowed hot water from Li Aihong, then took the initiative to pour a kettle of water for Zhu Guixia and Feng Qiujuan, leaving just enough water.
Bai Ruozhen said to Zhao Lai Di embarrassedly, "Sister Lai Di, I'm sorry, the water is gone."
Zhao Lai Di was so angry that she picked up her broken kettle and went out. When she came back, she looked very proud and put the kettle full of water on the table. She was very proud.
Bai Ruozhen curled his lips and continued eating the eggs. Although they were cold, they tasted good.
On the other side, Gu Changqing returned home. Without even calling his mother, he locked himself in the room and locked the door. He silently said "go into the supermarket" and then appeared in that luxurious supermarket in a flash.
Gu Changqing finally confirmed that he was not dreaming and laughed out loud with joy.
After laughing, he saw the prices of the items on the shelf, then touched the two dollars in his pocket. He was reluctant to spend it. He smelled the meat buns greedily, and then went back into the house.
Outside the house, Qiu Lanying was knocking on the door, "Changqing, open the door and listen to what mom has to say."
Gu Changqing, who was originally very happy, suddenly became unhappy. He immediately remembered why he was sent to pick someone up in the middle of the night. He quickly took off his cotton jacket and trousers and got on the kang, "No."
Qiu Lanying said, "I really don't open it."
Gu Changqing said stubbornly, "No."
"You can do it. You've become quite capable." Qiu Lanying gritted her teeth and said, then left. She went to the backyard to get the axe for chopping wood and said, "Open the door."
Gu Changqing wrapped the quilt tightly and said, "I won't open it."
Qiu Lanying glanced at the door frame with the axe and said, "If you don't open it, I'll chop it open with the axe."
Gu Changqing paused, then quickly got up in fear, "Mom! Mom! Don't chop, I'll open the door right away."
As he said that, Gu Changqing climbed up from the kang without caring whether he was cold or not, and quickly put on his cotton jacket and cotton pants, fearing that if he was a little late, his mother would really break in. It was not that he was timid, but he believed that his mother could do anything. If his mother really wanted to break down the door, even his father would not be able to stop her.
Qiu Lanying was very satisfied with her prestige. She snorted, "Gu Changqing, I find that you are a jerk. You won't improve unless you are punished. You have the same bad character as your father."
After that, he saw the clothes on Gu Changqing and frowned and asked, "Why are you wearing your father's clothes? Tsk tsk, look at it, it's too dirty, it's worthy of being your father's."
Gu Changqing raised his chin slightly, then put on his tattered hat, "Who told you to force me to pick someone up in the middle of the night?"
Qiu Lanying snorted in annoyance, "Your second uncle said he would get you a place to go to university, why don't you go?"
"I won't go." Gu Changqing snorted, "Look at the people who are going there. There are even people who haven't even graduated from elementary school. What's the point of going to that university? I won't go."
Qiu Lanying said angrily, "If you don't want to go, forget it. If you don't go, I'll find you a wife next year so that you won't be a bad student and run around outside all day."
Upon hearing this, Gu Changqing became anxious and said, "No, I have to find my wife myself."
Qiu Lanying looked him up and down and said with great distrust, "With the outfit you wear, even the silly girls in our village won't marry you."
Gu Changqing snorted again, "When I get dressed and clean, there will be plenty of girls who want to marry me."
Qiu Lanying was unwilling to say more to this bastard son. She shoved the axe into his hand and said, "Go chop wood."
Gu Changqing threw the axe away, grabbed Qiu Lanying's shoulders and acted like a spoiled child, "Mom, I'm starving. I'm hungry and sleepy. I won't go."
Although he spoke harshly, Qiu Lanying still loved her youngest son the most. She smiled and pushed him away, "Mom will make you noodles. Your second aunt just brought a pound of meat a few days ago."
Gu Changqing's face suddenly turned gloomy. "Mom, I told you not to take anything from her house. Do you think I don't know what she's planning?"
His second uncle was good in every way except marrying this wife. No one said anything about her not being able to have children, but she actually set her sights on him and wanted him to be her son.
Bah, he won't do that.
As expected, Qiu Lanying sighed, "Your second aunt has already let go of you, kid."
After saying that, Qiu Lanying left, and Gu Changqing closed the door and continued to sleep. In his dream, he dreamed that he got married, and his wife was so beautiful in her bright red wedding dress.
Then my wife turned around and looked very familiar, as if she had just seen me.
So Gu Changqing was so scared that he rolled under the kang.
Damn, it’s that little girl.
Gu Changqing, you are so shameless.
