"Zhenzhen." Gu Changqing was already feeling annoyed by this woman who had appeared out of nowhere. He looked up and saw his beautiful, lovely, gentle, and generous girlfriend. He didn't even bother to listen to what Li Wenting had to say. He came over and said to Bai Ruozhen, "Come on, my mom made some steamed buns. Let's go eat some."
Bai Ruozhen glanced at Li Wenting, nodded, and left with Gu Changqing.
Gu Changqing was afraid she would get angry, so he explained, "I'm telling you, that woman just now was really mean."
"Yeah." Bai Ruozhen said lightly.
"Don't you want to ask what she said?" Gu Changqing was a little unsure seeing her reaction.
Bai Ruozhen looked at him, "What did you say?"
Gu Changqing waved his hand. "She just talked about all sorts of random things, talking about the prosperity of Shanghai and what books she liked to read, and asked me if I had read any."
"Then what?" Bai Ruozhen continued to ask.
Gu Changqing looked at her. "Then? Then I said I hated reading. Just looking at a book gave me a headache. Right? And then you said you wanted to ask me for help in the future. Bah, don't you even look at yourself? You're asking me for help. You're dreaming."
Bai Ruozhen: “…”
"You're not angry, are you?" Gu Changqing looked at her cautiously.
Bai Ruozhen stopped and looked at him. "What if I get angry?"
Gu Changqing immediately became anxious. "Really? I didn't promise her anything. I'm in a relationship. I'll definitely stay away from her from now on."
"Yeah." Bai Ruozhen was quite satisfied. She turned around and glanced at the entrance of the educated youth center and found that Li Wenting was still standing there, looking in their direction.
Bai Ruozhen's evil intentions came out and he said, "Brother Changqing, I'm angry." Then he walked forward angrily.
Gu Changqing saw it and quickly chased after him, "Zhenzhen, don't be angry." His voice was quite loud.
Bai Ruozhen walked without stopping until he turned out of the alley, then squatted there and smiled. Gu Changqing said helplessly, "Are you happy?"
Bai Ruozhen nodded honestly, "Yeah. It was quite fun. I guess I'll come see you again later."
Gu Changqing's face darkened instantly. He was already in a relationship, and that woman had no idea what was wrong with her. She actually tried to provoke him. Didn't she know his partner was not someone to be trifled with? Tsk tsk.
When she arrived at Gu's house, Qiu Lanying's steamed buns had just come out of the pot. Seeing her coming, she smiled and said, "Zhenzhen, go peel two cloves of garlic."
Bai Ruozhen responded, took out the garlic from the basket, squatted on the ground and peeled it.
Gu Changqing also took a few garlic cloves and squatted in front of her, looking at her, "Are you really not angry?"
Bai Ruozhen looked at him in confusion. "It's not like you provoked her, and you didn't act very actively. Why should I be angry?"
When she said that, Gu Changqing immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "I'll stay away from you from now on. Alas, it's all because you look so good. Zhenzhen, we have to get married quickly."
"You're not old enough." Bai Ruozhen hit him mercilessly.
Gu Changqing choked and was speechless. There was still nearly a year before Bai Ruozhen turned eighteen. How could he endure this year? He felt uneasy if he didn't marry her home.
"What are you two talking about?" Qiu Lanying brought the buns into the house, "Come and eat."
The big buns were made with cabbage and meat, or with tofu and kelp. They tasted very delicious. Of course, the taste was different from the ones Gu Changqing had given her before. Later, she confirmed that the buns were bought from the supermarket.
Bai Ruozhen ate a tofu and kelp one and said, "Auntie, next time let's try the green pepper and tofu one, it's also delicious."
"Will it taste good?" Qiu Lanying had never made it before so she didn't know if it tasted good.
Bai Ruozhen nodded, "It's delicious."
Qiu Lanying smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll pay for it." Then she remembered what happened yesterday and asked Bai Ruozhen, "How is the new educated youth in your room?"
Bai Ruozhen wasn't sure what she was asking, so he said vaguely, "I'm not familiar with it."
"Is that so? Then she came to get close to you yesterday, saying that we were good friends." Qiu Lanying frowned and said, "After a long while, I still couldn't figure out why she came, so I let her go."
Bai Ruozhen was stunned. "Good friends with me? I don't even know her well. I just know her name is Li Wenting and she's from Shanghai. I haven't really spoken to her much. I ran into her yesterday afternoon, and she said she came to your house for something."
Qiu Lanying smiled. "Never mind her. Who knows what her real purpose is? Maybe she knows I'm Li Xianjin's mother-in-law and wants to curry favor with me so that Li Xianjin can get some easy work."
"Yeah." Bai Ruozhen nodded and looked at Gu Changqing. Gu Changqing suddenly felt as if he had suffered an unexpected disaster. God knows this was the first time he met the new educated youth this morning.
After dinner, Qiulan gave Gu Changqing some money and said, "Take Zhenzhen to Yancheng today to buy things for the engagement. Since you've already bought a watch, let's buy something else. You can buy a radio or a sewing machine."
Gu Changqing waved his hand and said, "No, I have money."
"Your money is yours. It doesn't matter if it belongs to your eldest brother or your third brother, they all have it, so you have to take it. After all, they're not buying things for you, they're buying things for our Zhenzhen. You have no right to refuse." Qiu Lanying said, glancing at Bai Ruozhen who was about to speak, "Don't say anything."
Bai Ruozhen suddenly stopped talking.
Since his mother said so, Gu Changqing nodded and took the money, "Then we'll leave after dinner."
"Well, remember to ask for leave, and by the way, go find your second aunt's eldest brother and ask Zhenzhen when he will go to work. And then greet your brother-in-law in the village first." Qiu Lanying instructed, and put some buns in her pocket. "Take them to your third brother and fourth sister, and ask your fourth sister when she plans to come back to see her mother."
Gu Changqing responded and went out with Bai Ruozhen to ask for leave at Li Xianjin's house. Unexpectedly, they ran into Li Wenting. Li Wenting smiled at them and said, "Brother Changqing, are you here to ask for leave too?"
