Chapter 52



Gu Changqing foolishly went into the room and drank a sip of water. Feeling restless, he was about to go to bed. Gu Xiaoli looked at him suspiciously, "Fifth brother, did you do something bad?"

"What's the point of talking to a little kid like you?" Gu Changqing didn't want to pay attention to his sister. He hummed a little tune and went back to his room to sleep.

Gu Xiaoli secretly told her mother, "Mom, I think my fifth brother must have done something bad."

"What bad thing?" Qiu Lanying took her clothes and prepared to take a shower. "Don't be so disgusted with your fifth brother all day long. He is your biological brother after all."

Gu Xiaoli curled her lips, "He's only my biological brother, otherwise I would have turned my sister Zhenzhen against me long ago."

Gu Zhiguo tapped the bowl of his pipe and said with a smile, "You're the only one who can do this."

The wheat harvest lasted for more than half a month, and Bai Ruozhen cooked at the Gu family for more than half a month. Then, when the wheat harvest was over, everyone had lost weight and become darker, even the bride-to-be Li Aihong was no exception.

Only Bai Ruozhen has become whiter and fatter, and her little face is so white and tender, not to mention so juicy.

However, Gu Xiaoli, who had been eating and drinking at home with her, was not so lucky. She ate and drank the same food and drinks as her, but unfortunately her skin was still a little dark and still a little short of white.

As soon as the wheat harvest was over, without waiting for the grain to be distributed, Gu Changqing dragged Bai Ruozhen to find Li Xianjin to get a letter of introduction.

Li Xianjin was worrying about the account book.

What is he worried about?

As for the newly arrived educated youth, four female ones, they are not very good at work. They have eaten a lot of food borrowed from the team since the Chinese New Year. According to the calculation, after deducting the food borrowed from the team, they will have to live on thin soup for the next six months and can't even eat cornmeal.

The most troublesome thing is that my brother-in-law's future wife has to borrow food from the team even though all her work points are not enough. If this situation is not handled properly, not only will his awesome mother-in-law be in trouble, but even his wife will probably come after him.

Just when I was having a headache, Gu Changqing came with Bai Ruozhen.

Li Xianjin got even more headache when he saw the two of them. He simply didn't even pick up the account book and asked them what they were doing there.

Gu Changqing said, "Let's go to the captain to get a letter of introduction. We are going to the provincial capital to meet our parents."

"Oh." Li Xianjin breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, but we have to wait until the corn is planted before we can leave. Although Comrade Bai Ruozhen can't do much, I won't be able to explain if he leaves right away."

Gu Changqing was very disappointed. How could he have forgotten about planting corn?

Looking at Bai Ruozhen, he had no idea that he had to grow corn. After hearing Li Xianjin's answer, he couldn't tell whether he was disappointed or not.

Li Xianjin glanced at the account book and said to Bai Ruozhen, "Comrade Bai Ruozhen, there is something I want to tell you. You must be mentally prepared."

Bai Ruozhen looked at Li Xianjin seriously and sat up straight, "Captain, please speak."

Li Xianjin coughed twice and said, "Even your work points for the past six months are not enough to pay back the team's food."

"Ah?" Bai Ruozhen was confused. "What should I do then?"

Li Xianjin pointed at the account book and said, "I'm worried about this too. I'll lend you the money in the second half of the year. If you still can't pay it back in the second half of the year, we can't just keep doing this forever."

Bai Ruozhen blushed when he said that. She mumbled, "It's all because I'm too stupid."

Li Xianjin glanced at her and thought to himself, girl, you are quite honest, but you are not just too stupid, you are really too stupid.

Seeing his girlfriend blush, Gu Changqing immediately said to Li Xianjin, "Brother-in-law, why are you like this? If you have something to say, just tell me directly. Don't you know that Zhenzhen is thin-skinned? Do you think everyone has the same thick skin as my eldest sister?"

"You're asking for a fight, you little brat." Gu Changmei came over, holding her stomach, and put a plate of watermelon on the table. "You're just a mouthful."

Gu Changqing rolled his eyes at his elder sister and said to Li Xianjin, "I'll find a way to feed her. Can I add the work points I owe to the team and the corn farming?"

Li Xianjin calculated and said, "If you can do it, it will definitely not be enough for her to do it herself."

Bai Ruozhen almost hid his head under the table after hearing this.

"It must be me." Gu Changqing patted his chest, "As a man, how can I let my partner suffer? I will do it."

Bai Ruozhen quickly pulled his sleeve when he heard it, "I'll do it myself."

"Can you return the food to the team by yourself?" Gu Changqing asked deliberately.

Bai Ruozhen blushed and felt extremely embarrassed. "I, I will pay it back slowly. I still have food coupons."

Gu Changqing sighed and thought that they should discuss this matter outside, so he said goodbye to Li Xianjin and Gu Changmei.

When they got outside, Gu Changqing said, "Zhenzhen, even if you have food coupons and money, it's not easy to buy food. Let's go back to your house as soon as we finish planting corn and settle things. I'll take care of your food rations for the second half of the year. Next year, when you're old enough, we'll register for marriage. You can stop digging for food in the fields. It's too hard, it makes me sad."

Bai Ruozhen felt warm in her heart after hearing this. She looked at Gu Changqing with emotion and said, "Brother Changqing, you are so kind."

Gu Changqing secretly kissed her on the cheek and said proudly, "Of course. If you miss me, no one will ever treat you so well again."

"Yes, I believe it." Bai Ruozhen said very seriously.

Gu Changqing held out his hand to her with a flashlight, "Give me your hand."

Bai Ruozhen obediently stretched out his hand, "Brother Changqing, I will treat you well in the future. I will make delicious food for you every day. I will make you whatever you want to eat. I can make a lot of things."

Hearing her serious words, Gu Changqing felt even happier, "I believe it."

The two walked hand in hand towards the educated youth camp. When they reached the door, Gu Changqing said, "Since we can't leave these few days, let's stay here for a few more days. When we're fat and plump, we can go home."

Bai Ruozhen nodded.
