Gu Changqing locked himself in the room as soon as he got home. Qiu Lanying came over and knocked on the door. "You're lying down again? Why don't you have anything to do?"
Gu Changqing said unhappily, "Going out to play cards with my dad means you have something to do?"
"You bastard." Qiu Lanying slammed the door hard. "Is Zhenzhen feeling better?"
"It should be better now." Gu Changqing recalled that his face looked much better than yesterday, and his lips were soft and tender...
Bah, bah, bah, Gu Changqing, how can you be so shameless? Why do you always think about other girls’ lips?
Outside, Qiu Lanying was very dissatisfied with this answer. "What do you mean it should be better? Didn't you ask?"
Gu Changqing said irritably, "I didn't ask."
"Do you want a beating?" Qiu Lanying said without asking any more questions and just left.
There was no sound outside. Gu Changqing sighed, scratched his hair irritably, and then fell on the kang.
Could it be that his third brother was right? Did he really want a woman?
But the other party is only seventeen.
How could he be such a beast?
Bai Ruozhen came into the house carrying something. Zhu Guixia and the others hurriedly asked what it was. Bai Ruozhen looked at it and said, "Fish and kelp."
Li Aihong came over to take a look and said, "It's true. Stewing kelp is very good in winter. I'll stew cabbage for you tonight."
"Thank you, Sister Aihong." Bai Ruozhen chuckled.
Because she was sick these two days, no one asked her to cook in their group, so she was spared the embarrassment. However, she knew that this embarrassment would not last too long, so she could only take it one step at a time.
After three days of illness, Bai Ruozhen finally felt better. It was still the tenth day of the first lunar month, and there was still no sign of anyone working in the fields in the village. Bai Ruozhen couldn't help but feel fortunate. It was not bad to stay in the house with other people every day.
In the afternoon, Gu Changqing rode his bicycle to the Qiu family in Shanghe Village. The Qiu family was his grandmother's home. Although the two villages often fought, no one dared to provoke Gu Changqing when he came to Shanghe Village. It was also because his previous glorious achievements were too dazzling. No one dared to provoke him, no matter whether they were the same age as him or younger than him. In addition, his family members were either workers or cadres, so even if he did something wrong, others generally would not bother with him.
But on the contrary, the more boys of the same age are afraid of him, the more girls of the same age like him. He has a good family background, good looks, and most importantly, he graduated from high school. I heard that he can work as a worker and earn a salary after the New Year. Any of these is better than earning work points in the countryside.
It was winter and no one was outside. Otherwise, if he entered the village, he would definitely attract a bunch of old women who wanted to find him a wife. Gu Changqing rode his bike quickly and soon arrived at the gate of the Qiu family.
Gu Xiaoli is fifteen years old this year and is the youngest child in the family. However, Gu Xiaoli is a good student and she got the first place in the high school entrance examination. This made Qiu Lanying very excited. You know, the sixth child's academic performance was quite average before, but who would have thought that after entering the third year of junior high school, his academic performance improved by leaps and bounds, and he got the first place in the exam after the first semester of the third year of junior high school.
Grandma Qiu gave birth to five sons in her life and had only one daughter, Qiu Lanying. She loved this daughter very much. Coincidentally, Qiu Lanying was at Grandma Qiu's house when she gave birth to Gu Xiaoli. The pear tree in the yard happened to be full of fruits, so Grandma Qiu named her Xiaoli.
Because of this, Grandma Qiu was particularly fond of Gu Xiaoli and often invited her to live with her since she was little. Especially since Gu Xiaoli was doing well in her studies, Grandma Qiu loved her even more. When Qiu Lanying returned to her parents' home in the second year of junior high school, she stayed at the Qiu family's house.
As soon as Gu Changqing entered the yard, he heard a burst of laughter. Gu Xiaoli's crisp voice came into Gu Changqing's ears through the window, and he felt it was awkward no matter how he listened to it.
The little Li was also quite likable before, but she was definitely not as smart as she is now. I don’t know when it started, but this little girl suddenly became smart and she actually got the first place in the school in the exam.
This really shocked everyone's eyes. Everyone said that Gu Changqing taught well, but in fact he never cared about Gu Xiaoli's studies, so he also wondered how Gu Xiaoli learned. But can this study get better, and this brain can also become smarter?
There is no answer to this question. Gu Changqing parked the car and pushed the door open to enter the house.
The room was a little cold because there was no charcoal stove burning in it. Gu Xiaoli, Grandma Qiu and several children from her uncle's family were playing cards around the kang table. When they saw Gu Changqing coming, they casually called him "Brother" and continued playing.
Gu Xiaoli actually understood the suspicion of her by the fifth brother, but since there was no evidence to support her suspicion, she just suddenly became smart. There was nothing she could do if she didn't believe it. If she thought about it in a bad way, it would be feudal superstition. She had already figured all this out in the six months since she came here.
Gu Changqing said to Grandma Qiu, "Grandma, my mother asked me to come and take Xiaoli home."
Grandma Qiu, who was having a great time playing, suddenly frowned, threw down her cards, pointed at the door and said, "Get lost! You came here and wanted to take my little Li away! You have no conscience."
Hearing this, Gu Changqing was not annoyed. He chuckled twice and said, "You can scold my mother. I can't take the initiative."
Grandma Qiu said angrily, "Your mother is just afraid that Xiaoli will eat our food. It's boring."
Grandma Qiu didn't want to play anymore, and neither did Gu Xiaoli. She pulled Grandma Qiu's arm and said, "Grandma, I'll come back on the weekend."
Hearing this, Grandma Qiu smiled and said, "Grandma saves all the delicious food for our little pear."
"Thank you, grandma." Gu Xiaoli smiled. It was delicious. She liked it.
Looking at Gu Xiaoli's smile, Gu Changqing couldn't help but think of Bai Ruozhen's smiling face again. He always felt that the smiles of these two people were somewhat similar. He wondered if it was an illusion.
After lunch at Grandma Qiu's house, Gu Changqing rode his bicycle and took Gu Xiaoli home. On the way, Gu Xiaoli asked, "Brother, I heard from my uncle that there are new educated youth in our village?"
