Chapter 39: A Great Grievance



Gu Xi. . . . . He looked at Wang Xu speechlessly, his eyes seemed to say: Your friend is probably a fool.

Wang Xu speechlessly opened the courtyard door. Yin Jie was still imitating the meow of a cat in an obscene posture: "Meow your head, what's wrong with you two, you are sneaking around, can you be normal? You scared away all the ghosts."

Yin Jie glanced at Gu Xi, looking embarrassed: "Well, it's not that we can't let others know that we went into the mountains, so be careful."

Gu Xi couldn't help laughing: "If you shout like that, all the female cats in the village will be attracted by you, which will attract more attention."

Wang Xu went into the kitchen and came out carrying a bamboo basket: "We're leaving first. Close the door. Be careful at night."

Gu Xi called the two of them: "Wait a moment,"

He went into the house and grabbed some biscuits and candies for them. Yin Jie happily accepted them, but Wang Xu snatched them away and put them in his bamboo basket. He said, "Let's go," and went out.

Yin Jie looked at Wang Xu with a smile: "Brother Xu, how is it? Are you happy living with Gu Zhiqing? I heard from my grandma that Gu Zhiqing sent dumplings to many people today, and also told you that you were bullied by your stepmother since childhood, and you can only survive today by fighting with your fists. You have suffered a great injustice. Many people cried after hearing it.

They also said that you saved Gu Zhiqing, and my grandma also said that you have been helping our family over the years, and now your reputation has improved a lot. My grandma said that Gu Zhiqing is your blessing, and asked you to grasp it and be nice to him. "

Wang Xu didn't show it on his face, but he held the bamboo basket even tighter in his hand, and called Wan Hexing, and they went to the mountain road together.

Gu Xi locked the gate and read a book in the yard for a while. Feeling bored, she went back to her room and went to bed early.

Maybe it was because Wang Xu was not there, but Gu Xi did not sleep well and had another dream. In the dream, the original owner appeared and thanked her: "Gu Xi, thank you for taking care of my family for me, and thank you for going to the countryside for my family. This is not an easy decision. When I think about myself, it seems that I have not done anything for my family. I have been enjoying the care of my family and thought I was strong. In fact, my internal friction made my family more worried.

You also have a strong character, but unlike me who is timid, you are brave and optimistic. I have always lacked the courage, and even God couldn't stand it, so I let your appearance make my parents and brother more relieved, and I will definitely be happier in the future. "

Gu Xi looked at her sad face and could not help but comfort her: "You are wrong, your parents and brother love you because you are their family member, and because you have always been excellent and are their pride.

Your parents and brother are also very nice. They love you without caring about gains and losses, and you shouldn't care either. They don't need you to do anything. Living a good and happy life is the greatest reward. "

The original owner looked at Gu Xi and said, "I seem to understand. Thank you, Gu Xi. Everything is the best arrangement. My time is up and I have to leave. I just came to thank you and say goodbye. Please live a good life for me and live happily."

Gu Xi asked anxiously: "Where are you going?"

But there was no answer. The original owner came inexplicably and left suddenly.

Gu Xi woke up and tried to understand the meaning of this dream over and over again, but it seemed like she was just coming to say goodbye, and it also seemed like she was reminding herself that she could never go back and could only live here as Gu Xi.

I looked at the time and it was not yet 7 o'clock, so I got up. While washing up, I glanced at the shoe cabinet. It seemed that Wang Xu had returned. He must have returned very late. He was still catching up on sleep with the door closed.

After washing up, I went to make breakfast and walked around the kitchen. I didn’t know how to make pasta, so I made a sandwich for Wang Xu.

I only learned how to make a fire once, but I had never operated it before and failed several times. Finally, I started the fire with great difficulty, added water to the pot, and steamed the buns.

Gu Xi washed a few leaves of lettuce, cut two slices of tomato, waited for the steamed buns to heat up, took them out, and fried two poached eggs.

Use a knife to cut the steamed bun in the middle, put lettuce, tomato, and poached egg in it, then find the sausage in the kitchen, cut a few slices and put them in there. A steamed bun sandwich is ready.

Gu Xi was quite satisfied with the finished product, but she was weird and didn't want to eat a single bite. She left it in the pot to keep it warm for Wang Xu, and she made some milk and ate some biscuits and snacks.

Lin Ling ran past the door in a hurry, and Gu Xi quickly called out to her, "Why are you running so fast?"

Lin Ling was too lazy to respond and replied from a distance: "I'm going to work. Today is my first day. I'm late."

Gu Xi then remembered that today was the first day of work for the new educated youth, and secretly felt lucky that she could have a few more days of rest. I thought of the pain on my face again and went to look at myself in the mirror. The bruise had faded in color, but it still hurt when I touched it. The happy mood that I had just felt for a few minutes became a little unhappy again.

There seemed to be a noise in the yard. Gu Xi went out and saw Wang Xu had already gotten up and was washing up. Gu Xi opened her mouth as soon as she saw him: "What time did you come back yesterday? Why did you get up so early? I just saw Lin Ling go to work. Fortunately, I can rest for a few more days."

He lowered his voice and leaned closer to ask, "Did you go into the mountains to catch game last night? Did you get any?"

Wang Xu finished brushing his teeth and washing his face, with water still dripping down his face. He looked down at Gu Xi and said, "So many questions so early in the morning."

He took the towel off his neck, wiped his face, and hung it beside him.

Gu Xi pushed him to the table: "Sit down."

Then he ran to the kitchen, took out the carefully prepared "burger" and brought it to the table: "I made breakfast for you, a combination of meat and vegetables, rich in nutrition."

She went to make a glass of milk and handed it to him: "Okay, look, carbs, vegetables, and protein are all here, perfect."

Wang Xu didn't understand for a moment: "What are carbohydrates and proteins?"

Gu Xi was stunned for a moment, then explained: "All food is called carbohydrates, and all meat, milk, eggs, etc. are called proteins."

Wang Xu was even more confused after hearing the explanation: "Why are grains called carbohydrates, and meat and eggs called proteins?"

Gu Xi now just wanted to slap herself in the face. Why did this stupid guy talk so much? "It's said in the book. It's a long story. I'll explain it to you when I have time. Eat it first and see how it tastes."

Wang Xu looked at the combination and said: "It would be fine if the steamed buns were stuffed with some pickles. Why are there so many vegetables? And they are raw."

Gu Xi was about to explode after being asked: "Eat your food, this is a nutritionally balanced one that I carefully developed. Don't ask, if you ask, that's how people in Shanghai eat."

Wang Xu took a bite of this dark dish with a heavy heart. It was ordinary, with a little more flavor than a steamed bun, but it was really unnecessary. While eating, he glanced at Gu Xi's expression. Seeing her expectant look, he decided to encourage her: "It's quite delicious, but don't make it next time."

Gu Xi. . . .

Seeing that Gu Xi's face was not looking good, Wang Xu changed the subject: "I shot four rabbits and two pheasants last night, and I also caught a wild boar in a trap I made earlier. I took the wild boar to the town to sell it, so I didn't come back until after 4 o'clock in the morning. Wan Hexing took the rabbits and pheasants back to process them and will send them over later."
