The school was on vacation on the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, but Bai Ruozhen had no plans to go back. Instead, he stayed in Yancheng waiting for Gu Changqing to go back together. Even Gu Xiaoli was unable to take her back.
When Gu Xiaoli left, she was quite resentful towards her fifth brother. She always felt that her fifth brother had corrupted her master. She was such a good girl before, but now she only had her fifth brother in her heart. It was really annoying. Gu Changlan didn't have a holiday until the 30th, so she was happy that Bai Ruozhen stayed here to accompany her.
At this moment, Bai Ruozhen finally waited for Gu Changqing. All the dislike in his heart turned into heartache. "He couldn't be more handsome."
Gu Changqing laughed, but he also knew what image he had now, so he let her go and said, "Let's eat first." Then he picked up the roast chicken, tore off the other leg, and then put the rest into his mouth.
"Eat slowly." Bai Ruozhen poured him a glass of water and then gnawed on the chicken leg. While gnawing on the chicken leg, his eyes never left Gu Changqing.
Gu Changqing was chewing on the braised pork elbow with his mouth full of oil. When he heard her words, he took the water and took a sip, then grinned, revealing a mouthful of greasy white teeth.
Bai Ruozhen couldn't bear to watch it. She lowered her head slightly and couldn't help but smile, then looked up and continued to gnaw on the chicken leg quietly.
After eating half a chicken leg, the door suddenly opened and Gu Changlan came in, rubbing her hands and stamping her feet. "Zhenzhen, it's snowing outside..." The rest of the words were immediately cut off. Her eyes fell on the braised pork elbow that Gu Changqing was chewing, and she was immediately shocked and angry. "Gu Changqing, you're eating delicious food behind my back again."
Gu Changqing ignored her. He hadn't had a proper meal in recent days. The thing he ate the most was probably instant noodles. Now, even asking him to eat instant noodles made him want to vomit. What he wanted to eat the most was probably meat. Like this braised pork elbow, it was just the right amount of fat and lean, fragrant but not greasy. He had never eaten much before, but now it was really delicious.
After swallowing a few mouthfuls, Gu Changqing looked up at her and said, "I'm exhausted every day. Does it bother you if I eat something delicious?"
Gu Changqing glared, "It's wrong to eat alone."
"Tsk." Gu Changqing looked at him disdainfully and cut a piece of lean meat from the braised pork elbow and handed it to Bai Ruozhen, "Come on, Zhenzhen, eat some meat. Eat more meat and you'll be plump and white."
Gu Changlan waited for a while and found that Gu Changqing ignored Bai Ruozhen after giving it to her. She immediately became angry and said, "You bastard." Then she started to grab it.
Gu Changqing was prepared. He took a few bites of the pork elbow and threw it to her. "Here, here, here. If you don't mind me being dirty, then eat it. I've been sloppy for half a month anyway."
Hearing this, Gu Changlan observed him carefully. He was indeed quite slovenly, and when she smelled him, he still smelled. Her appetite was instantly gone, and she returned the pork elbow. "Who cares about your leftover dog food?"
"This is what you don't eat." Gu Changqing picked it up proudly and continued to eat. He felt that he could eat the whole elbow.
But who knew that Gu Changlan turned around to look for Bai Ruozhen, "Zhenzhen, it's so cold outside, I'm so hungry."
Bai Ruozhen glanced at the chicken legs and pork elbows, blinked, and said, "Fourth sister, shouldn't you be at work now? Why are you back? Will you go back with us this afternoon to celebrate the Little New Year?"
Gu Changlan's mouth twitched. "I'll let someone else take over for a while," she said, looking at her with a very complaining look. "If I hadn't come back, you wouldn't know how many delicious foods you would have secretly eaten."
Bai Ruozhen said embarrassedly, then handed over the pork elbow, "Why don't you eat mine?"
Gu Changlan, who had been feeling cloudy and about to rain just now, suddenly became happy. "She is really my good sister-in-law. She is much more conscientious than Lao Wu."
Bai Ruozhen smiled and continued to finish eating the chicken leg.
After eating and drinking, Gu Changlan could no longer be lazy and hurried back to work. Before leaving, she instructed, "Take the fabric back and ask Gu Xiaoli to make me a new cotton-padded jacket and trousers." She also sighed, "It's a pity that I don't have anyone to buy me a down jacket."
A few days ago, when Bai Ruozhen brought back the down jacket bought by Gu Changqing, Gu Changlan was so envious. She wanted Gu Changqing to make one for her, but unfortunately Gu Changqing never went to the Northeast again, so she couldn't get one. She could only make a cotton jacket and cotton pants to make herself happy.
Gu Changqing said directly, "Tomorrow I will ask my uncle to introduce you to someone who works in a transportation company, the kind that specializes in traveling to the Northeast."
Gu Changlan was so scared that she ran out quickly, "No, thank you."
After she left, Bai Ruozhen asked curiously, "Fourth sister is already twenty years old, why doesn't she want to get married?"
Gu Changqing said, "I don't know. When I asked her before, she just said she didn't want to get married."
Bai Ruozhen has lived with her for so long but still doesn't understand the reason.
Because they had to go back to Xiahe Village in the afternoon, they went to the department store to buy New Year's goods after breakfast. Bai Ruozhen had to buy the portion for her return to the provincial capital as well to avoid not being able to buy it when the time comes. In addition, she planned to give some gifts to Zhu Guixia, Feng Qiujuan and the others when she returned to Xiahe Village, so she had to buy some too.
When Bai Ruozhen arrived at the department store, she was surprised. The department store, which usually had few people, was actually quite crowded today. She didn't know who Gu Changlan had found to take her shift and let her go back. At this time, Gu Changlan was standing behind the counter, dealing with people who came to buy cloth in an orderly manner. In winter, especially during the Chinese New Year, cloth sells the fastest.
Gu Changqing and Bai Ruozhen simply went to buy some cakes and candies, and also bought two kilograms of tea and two bottles of white wine. Finally, they waited until there were fewer people at Gu Changlan's place before going over.
Gu Changlan shouted until her voice was almost hoarse, and quickly took out the cloth from the cabinet, "Here, pay for it."
Bai Ruozhen smiled and paid for the ticket, then left the department store with Gu Changqing.
After leaving the department store, the two went to the grocery store. This year, in preparation for the Chinese New Year, the grocery store had more pork available, but there were also long queues. The two waited in line for half a day before they could buy pork. Fortunately, everyone liked to buy fatty meat at this time, so there was a lot of lean meat left. Gu Changqing was even happier, and he hurriedly bought three pounds of pork and two pork ribs. Finally, he saw pig intestines and bought some more.
