Fortunately, Gu Changqing is not so unreliable. However, Gu Changqing can actually sense the situation outside in the supermarket, otherwise he would not be able to succeed every time.
"Comrade? Comrade, what's wrong with you? Do you want me to take you home?" the staff member said very enthusiastically.
Bai Ruozhen came back to his senses, uttered an "ah," and then said sheepishly, "My brother went to the restroom and will be back soon."
"Okay then, remember to contact us if you have any problems." The staff nodded and walked away.
Bai Ruozhen breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, that was a close call.
After a while, the man walked away. Gu Changqing suddenly appeared. Bai Ruozhen said, "Thank goodness you didn't come out just now, otherwise you would have been exposed."
Gu Changqing handed her the skincare products in his hand and said, "Take a look."
Bai Ruozhen opened it and exclaimed in surprise, "Valve Cream? Why is there so much?"
"Here, this is the cream, this is the lotion, and this is the cleanser," Gu Changqing pointed at the bottles and jars in the bag. Although she didn't know much about skincare, that didn't stop him from buying them. What kind did he buy? Of course, the most expensive ones.
The most expensive must be the best! And it says something about moisturizing and hydrating, which is perfect for his partner.
He didn't understand how to use it, so he said, "Facial cleanser is probably for washing your face. I think it's better than soap. Lotion and cream are probably for applying after washing your face. As for the order and how to use them, I don't know either. But there are instructions inside. You can study them when you get back."
Bai Ruozhen liked the bottles and jars more and more. There is no woman who doesn't like to have good skin, but even the best skin is afraid of wind and sun. Bai Ruozhen thought she had very good skin, but the climate was dry here in the provincial capital, and her face felt dry even when it snowed, so she just needed these skin care products.
"Thank you, Brother Changqing." Bai Ruozhen's eyes were full of love. She then opened the face cream and rubbed a little on her face with her middle finger. She immediately felt that the dry feeling on her face was much less. She simply spread it evenly, and her whole face felt a lot more comfortable.
She reached out and patted her face and was surprised to find that her face was not greasy from the vanishing cream.
"Good, I'm done with it." Gu Changqing was very satisfied, but at the same time he blamed himself. Why didn't he think of getting a set of skin care products before? Then he decided to go to the supermarket during the New Year after returning home to see if there was anything she could use in the future, or anything their family could use.
"Yeah, it feels very comfortable." Bai Ruozhen grinned and touched his face again, "It's smooth."
Gu Changqing couldn't help but take a look, then reached out and touched it, "Hmm, it's quite smooth."
Bai Ruozhen's face suddenly turned half red, and the temperature from Gu Changqing's fingertips did not dissipate for a long time.
After playing around all morning, Bai Ruozhen asked Gu Changqing to take her home and then let him go back to the guesthouse to catch up on some sleep. Because she knew that Gu Changqing must be very sleepy now after getting up in the middle of the night to go to the black market, and if nothing unexpected happened, Gu Changqing would go there again in the next few days, so she had to let him go back to sleep, otherwise she would feel bad seeing him working so hard.
Gu Changqing was actually reluctant to part with her. After all, his train ticket was for the day after tomorrow, and they would not see each other again until after the New Year. He wished he could be with Bai Ruozhen every minute, but he also knew what was important. His current efforts were for a better life in the future, so he had to earn more money in the black market in the next few days.
After sending Bai Ruozhen downstairs, Gu Changqing said, "Third brother will come over to drink with your father tonight. We'll go together then. Don't be reluctant to eat the meat. Eat it when it's time. We can buy more if it's gone. We have enough money."
"Yeah." Bai Ruozhen nodded. "Why don't we go upstairs and have dinner before going back to sleep?" She still remembered that her mother said she wanted to make corn bone soup before she left.
Gu Changqing shook his head, "No, I'm not going up. I'll just go back and have a quick bite to eat and go to sleep." Gu Changqing smiled, "See you tonight."
"Yeah." Bai Ruozhen knew that Gu Changqing would not leave unless she went upstairs, so she went upstairs in three or two steps. When she got upstairs, she waved to Gu Changqing and watched him leave before she knocked on the door and went in.
Li Qiulan had already stewed the corn bones. The two little guys, Bai Ruoyun and Bai Lishan, knew that they had not gone out for the whole morning to stew the corn bones. They stared at the pot eagerly, hoping to have a sip in advance after it was cooked.
Unexpectedly, Li Qiulan didn't let them drink in advance. After much coaxing, each of them only drank two sips. What taste could two sips have? Instead, they became even greedier. They sat around the stove for the whole morning and couldn't drink another two sips. They had to wait for Bai Ruozhen and Gu Changqing to come back before giving them water.
As soon as Bai Ruozhen entered the room, the two little ones rushed over like bombs, "Second sister, you're back. If you hadn't come back, mom wouldn't have given us bone soup."
Li Qiulan closed the door when she saw her come in and asked, "Where is Xiao Gu?"
"I'm going back to the guesthouse to sleep." Bai Ruozhen said as he took off his outer cotton coat and sniffed it. "Mom, are you ready? I'm starving."
Li Qiulan frowned immediately, "Why don't you let him come back and eat before going back to sleep?"
Bai Ruozhen said indifferently, "He said he would eat it when he got home."
"You kid." Li Qiulan hurriedly opened the door and went out. She stood upstairs and watched for a long time, but Gu Changqing was already gone. She went back to the room and said to Bai Ruozhen, "Look at you, why didn't you let him eat before leaving in the middle of the day?"
Bai Ruozhen said, "He really went back to eat." He would probably eat even better if he went back.
Li Qiulan frowned and scolded Bai Ruozhen again until the two little ones started crying. Then she brought the bone soup down and served them each a bowl. However, Li Qiulan and Bai Ruoyun only got soup with cabbage in it, while Bai Ruozhen and Bai Lishan had some meat in their bowls.
Bai Ruoyun immediately quit, "Mom, why are you so partial? You won't give me any meat at all."
