Liu Xiuni's two cups of coffee and cake were served. Liu Xiuni couldn't wait to take a sip of coffee and sprayed it out, making the whole table full of it. "What is this? It's so bitter and unpalatable, and it costs one dollar a cup?"
The waiter's face turned unhappy: "I reminded you when you ordered that the coffee the ladies ordered was very bitter. I suggested that you add milk and sugar, but you insisted. If you don't know how to drink it, don't say anything nonsense."
After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Zhou Wei and Liu Xiuni embarrassed. Luckily, it was a weekday afternoon and there were not many people in the store, otherwise they would have made a fool of themselves.
Seeing her burst out laughing, Gu Xi couldn't help but want to laugh: "If you are unwilling to accept other people's reminders and stick to your own opinions, you will suffer losses."
After I finished speaking, I saw my father wanted to add something, so I quickly said, "But you should be cautious when you go out. You should filter other people's opinions in your mind to see if they are feasible. You can't just listen blindly and believe them."
Father Gu nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad."
After the four of them had rested, they didn't want to stay and watch the fun, so they got up and left with their bags.
Seeing how many things they bought, Liu Xiuni couldn't help but feel jealous. She took a bite of the cake and suddenly her eyes lit up: "This cake is delicious, sweet and soft."
He ate a piece of cake in just three or two bites. Zhou Wei at the side didn't get to eat a single bite. He couldn't help but feel a little angry: "I told you to order two cups of coffee, but you ordered a cake. This cake is 7 yuan a piece! Do you think I have a lot of money and can't spend it all? 7 yuan, you finished it in three bites. If you sprayed the coffee in one gulp, you don't want it. If you spend it all, go to the countryside and see how you live."
Liu Xiuni didn't care because it wasn't her money anyway: "You already have 100 yuan, so you still have a lot left. If you don't have enough money when you get to the countryside, you can ask your parents for more."
Zhou Wei's face turned even uglier when he heard this. He was really angry. "It's easy for you to say that I want more. There are four brothers and sisters in the family. Don't they need food and drink? Are you going to give it all to me? The hundred yuan I have includes the forty yuan given by my eldest brother and second sister. They usually save money to give it to me. There are also two younger brothers and sisters who need to go to school. They usually don't even want to eat meat, so all of it goes into your stomach.
It would be fine if you just ate it, but now you have wasted it. When you get to the countryside, you can use your own food. I have spent enough on you, and my family's money is not blown by the wind. If you don't have money, just ask your family for it. "
After saying that, he turned around and went back angrily. Seeing that he was really angry, Liu Xiuni quickly chased after him to comfort him, saying that this was her livelihood guarantee and she couldn't lose it.
"Oh, Wei Ge, I know I was wrong. I will save more money in the future, work harder, and not cause trouble for the family. Don't be angry, please forgive me again."
Zhou Wei was really irritated this time, and Liu Xiuni had to use all her skills and make many promises to appease him.
Gu Xi's family went to the photo studio. The photographer saw that the family had outstanding looks and temperament, so he greeted them with a smile and said, "Do you need a family photo taken?"
Father Gu looked around the photo studio and nodded, "Yes, we want to take a family photo and then develop four more."
The photographer immediately greeted us warmly: "Okay, you are in front of the background, the parents sit on the sofa, and the two children stand behind them, holding their shoulders."
After they posed, the master stood behind the camera and said, "Just smile and don't be nervous."
Then he took the opportunity to take a few photos: "Oh wow, these are really beautiful photos, come and see if you like them."
Several people couldn't see what the film looked like clearly, so they asked the master to choose two negatives and print four pictures each.
On the day of departure, the whole family went to see Gu Xi off. Two suitcases were filled with several sets of clothes, cosmetics, toiletries, a blanket for summer, snacks, supplements, medicines and so on.
The rest are not in a hurry to be used, so they will be mailed after Gu Xi gives the address.
Before leaving, Mother Gu cried again, Father Gu's eyes were red, Gu Chao remained silent, Gu Xi smiled and said, "You are really a son who travels a thousand miles away, and your family is worried. Let's hug each other, and look at the photos when you miss me. If I have a holiday, I will come back to see you."
The four of them hugged each other, which attracted a lot of people's attention, showing that the family had a particularly deep affection.
Gu Chao helped carry the luggage to the train. Before leaving, he took out a small bag and stuffed it into Gu Xi's arms, then left.
The train moved slowly. Gu Xi couldn't help shedding tears as she watched her family members on the platform getting farther and farther away. Although they had not been together for a long time, the weight of family affection was indeed extremely heavy.
Gu Xi opened the small bag that Gu Chao had given her. Inside was a lot of snacks and 300 yuan in cash.
Gu Chaocai has only been working for more than two years, and this is all he has.
There were not many people in the sleeper berth in the carriage, only three. Gu Xi and her were a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law. The daughter-in-law was a pregnant woman, but the mother-in-law was obviously not friendly to her.
The young woman met Gu Xi's eyes and smiled friendly, but the mother-in-law disliked Gu Xi, and Gu Xi was not going to pay any attention to her.
At mealtime, Gu Xi took out the lunch box prepared by her mother, which contained rice, sweet and sour pork ribs, vegetarian chicken, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes. They are all my favorite dishes. No wonder people say that children with mothers are like treasures.
Just as Gu Xi was about to eat, the old lady opposite her said rudely, "I really don't know what your family thinks. A girl eats so well, with rice, and the other three are considered meat and vegetables. My wife didn't eat as well as you even when she was pregnant with my grandson."
Gu Xi didn't want to be affected by a stranger, so she pretended not to hear the old lady's sarcasm and continued eating.
Unexpectedly, the other party even went further: "You have no manners at all, you don't know how to take care of the elderly and pregnant women, and you don't know how to share the meat with the elderly and pregnant women. Eat, eat, eat, are you deaf or stupid?"
Gu Xi had originally ignored the old lady's sarcasm, but when she was accused of being uneducated and implying something about her family, she couldn't stand it anymore: "What do you care what I eat? My parents prepared the meal for me, why should I give it to you? Do I know you, old lady?
If you want to eat something with your hands and feet, just cook it yourself. If you can’t cook, just ask your son to buy it for you. Does that mean your son is unfilial? If you are asked to beg for food here, it means that your family education is not very good. You have not educated your son well. The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. You can afford a sleeper berth, but you can't support your mother. You don't even have a bite of meat to eat.
What unit does your son work in? I'd like to see for myself which company would dare to hire such a person. "
The old lady didn't expect that Gu Xi was pretty but had a bad temper. Now that her son was involved, she didn't dare to say anything more for fear of implicating her son.
Seeing the old lady was embarrassed, the young woman quickly tried to smooth things over: "Girl, I'm sorry, my mother-in-law is just worried about me, afraid that I'm not getting enough nutrition, so she said this, don't take it seriously, we brought our own food, you can eat it yourself."
Gu Xi smiled and said, "One is the red cop and the other is the white cop. Are they acting together? Why didn't you stop your mother-in-law when she started talking about me? People from the same family are alike. Don't mess with me. No matter how much nonsense you say, my family is not easy to mess with. We will be rude when the time comes. Don't make your man lose his job."
Gu Xi imitated the quarreling style in the video and started by saying harsh words and making up stories. Unexpectedly, it worked. People in that era were still relatively simple and honest. Seeing how Gu Xi was dressed, they thought her family was very special, so they didn't dare to say anything. In the second half of the fight, they were very cautious and didn't dare to make any big noise.
