Bai Ruozhen looked at her in surprise, then frowned and said, "Xiao Li, life is not easy for everyone. Don't give me food. Eat it yourself, you still have to go to school."
Gu Xiaoli lied with her eyes open, "I've already eaten it at home. My mother asked me to bring it to you."
"You can't accept that." Bai Ruozhen felt ashamed. She had received so many good things from the Gu family, but she had never given anything in return. But after thinking about it, she really had nothing to give. The few big white steamed buns had been eaten long ago, and the eggs were gone. There was only a bottle of meat sauce left.
Well, if it really doesn't work, she can just give the meat sauce to the Gu family, even though she is reluctant to do so.
"Eat quickly." Gu Xiaoli was afraid that she would not eat, so she peeled the egg and stuffed it into her mouth. Bai Ruozhen had no choice but to eat the egg delicately. "Wait, I'll give you something."
Bai Ruozhen went to look through her luggage and pulled out a small bottle of meat sauce. "Here, this is the meat sauce my mother made. Take it back and let Auntie try it."
Not only Gu Xiaoli was surprised, but everyone else in the room was also surprised. They didn't expect that Bai Ruozhen actually had such a good thing.
Gu Xiaoli quickly refused, "I don't want this. My family is better off than yours. We have plenty of food and drink. Besides, my brothers and sisters bring us meat every now and then. We don't need this."
Of course she knew how greedy her master was, and he was really determined to take out the meat sauce. But the more he was like that, the more she couldn't accept it. Meat was a precious thing, and sometimes you couldn't buy it even if you had money and tickets.
Bai Ruozhen said seriously, "If you don't want it, then don't come again." She was greedy and wanted to eat delicious food. She was reluctant to do so, but she also had to have a conscience. She had to remember the kindness of the Gu family to her and not take it for granted just because that was Xiaoli's current home.
Moreover, they were master and servant in their previous life, and there was nothing they could do about it. Now that they are living a new life, why can't they get along as equals? Xiaoli helps her with work, and she is grateful. She will definitely repay her in the future, but she will never take it for granted.
Seeing that she insisted, Gu Xiaoli looked solemn and nodded blankly, "Okay." She took the meat sauce, but felt it was a little hot.
Eggs are expensive, but meat is even more expensive.
Zhu Guixia and others felt a little sorry for Bai Ruozhen. Such good things should be kept for sister Zhenzhen to nourish her body, so why was it given to Gu Xiaoli? Eggs are not as expensive as meat.
Unfortunately, that was Gu Xiaoli and Bai Ruozhen's business. Although they felt it was not worth it, they couldn't say anything.
Gu Xiaoli took the meat sauce home. Qiu Lanying looked at her and asked, "What's wrong? Aren't you always happy when you go to the educated youth camp? What happened this time?"
"Sister Zhenzhen gave it to me." Gu Xiaoli handed over the bottle. It was a small bottle of meat sauce, and there wasn't much in it actually. But the more Gu Xiaoli thought about it, the more sad she felt. Why was she so poor? If only she had money, she would buy meat for her master every day.
Qiu Lanying was surprised and took the bottle to look at it. "Meat?"
Gu Xiaoli was about to cry, "Yeah, meat." Why was her master so stupid? Such good things should be eaten secretly by himself. Why give it to their family? What a waste.
Qiu Lanying didn't know what her daughter was thinking and sighed, "Since she gave it to you, just take it. When you come back next week, I'll stew some meat and you can invite her home to eat."
"Really?" Gu Xiaoli burst into laughter. "Mom, don't lie to me. I remember it. If you dare to forget, I will marry her off."
Qiu Lanying scoffed at her threat and said, "If you have the guts, you can really marry her off."
Gu Xiaoli was immediately deflated. The plan hadn't even begun, and it seemed like it had already been aborted. She was just a maid, how could she be the master's boss? Besides, the master also had parents in this life.
It's really frustrating.
Then she felt sad again. If she went to help with the work today, what would she do tomorrow? If her fifth brother really wanted to marry her mistress, he should come back quickly to work.
So angry.
As for Bai Ruozhen, he was truly despairing. Xiaoli was helping him today, but what about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow? What about the day after that?
Ah, the days ahead are so long, and with the work points she earns at her current pace, it is estimated that she will have trouble even getting half full, let alone filling her stomach.
Bai Ruozhen felt that his breakfast had no taste. Perhaps, such days would soon be over.
"Zhenzhen, what's wrong with you?" Li Aihong, worthy of being the leader of the educated youth team, observed carefully. "Are you worried about the work?"
In fact, Li Aihong and the others had made preparations for Bai Ruozhen not being able to do farm work, but it was understandable that he couldn't do it when he just arrived. He should be able to do things like plowing the soil after being taught. However, after observing him for the past few days, they found that Bai Ruozhen really couldn't do it, and he couldn't be taught no matter how much he was taught.
The worst thing is that I can’t even do things like mending fishing nets. What should I do? I can’t go out to sea to fish.
Bai Ruozhen pursed his lips, "Sister Aihong, I feel so ashamed."
I'm almost losing face.
Aihong felt distressed and quickly hugged her in her arms, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we will learn slowly."
So the next day after Gu Xiaoli went to school, Bai Ruozhen started learning how to plow the soil again.
Finally, Bai Ruozhen finally learned it, and the land was almost turned over.
Bai Ruozhen gritted his teeth and told himself that it was already very good.
Qiu Lanying watched Bai Ruozhen stumbling along the way, and her heart was already distressed, but since Bai Ruozhen and Gu Changqing had an uncertain relationship, she couldn't help. Her family didn't care, but she was worried that others would talk about Bai Ruozhen.
Although she wanted Li Xianjin to arrange some light work for her, there was nothing much to do at the beginning of the young province, and the most important task was to turn the soil.
Fortunately, there was not much land that needed to be turned over, so it was finished quickly.
