After dinner, they went to buy vegetables. Today they had shrimps. Gu Xi actually loves seafood very much, but it is rare here.
"Wang Xu, I want to eat shrimp. Buy a pound of shrimp, pig's trotters, and bamboo shoots. I want to eat braised bamboo shoots."
Gu Chao saw that the atmosphere between the two was awkward, so he had to intervene: "I want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs."
Wang Xu followed the brother and sister dutifully to pay the money and carry the food.
Lin Ling heard Gu Chao wanted to eat sweet and sour pork ribs: "Now when buying meat, everyone likes to buy fatty meat, but Gu Xi wants to eat ribs and won't touch any fatty meat. It turns out it's hereditary."
Lin Ling bought a piece of fatty pork belly and a piece of lard: "Aunt said that we can make lard when we get home, and the lard residue can be used to cook rice.
When they heard about rice and vegetables, the brother and sister's eyes lit up at the same time. Wang Xu couldn't help but hold his forehead and said, "Are we going to have rice and vegetables when we go back today?"
Gu Xi nodded immediately: "Add some bacon, bacon and vegetable rice is delicious."
Gu Chaoguang's mouth was watering: "It's perfect with the braised pork trotters and soybeans. It's too delicious."
Wang Xu said nothing, but went to buy some bacon.
Wu Yue was also very greedy after hearing what he said, but unfortunately he had no tickets. Wei Qingzhe had tickets, so he bought four pig's trotters stewed with soybeans.
On the way back, Gu Chao was there, and Gu Xi didn't dare let him know that she was sitting in the back seat of Wang Xu, so she pretended to sit in the back seat of Lin Ling.
Although Gu Chao was reluctant, he still sat in the back seat of Wang Xu's car. Wang Xu also looked reluctant. Gu Xi was sitting there quietly.
Lin Ling and Wu Yue couldn't help but smile with a look of gloating. Lin Ling teased, "I really want to go home with you to watch the fun."
Wu Yue also had a gossipy look on her face: "Yeah, I want to go too, it must be very lively."
Gu Xi looked hopeless: "Stop laughing at me. You guys don't even think of a solution for me. Are we still good sisters who love each other?!"
Lin Ling put Gu Xi at the door and quickly slipped away: "Good luck to you, I'm leaving now."
From the moment Gu Chao entered the village, his brows were furrowed and his face looked serious. The environment was too bad. With such conditions, how could it be an advanced village ranked among the top in the country?
The adobe house is dilapidated and the road is bumpy and dusty. The villagers' clothes were also patched, and they were all tanned. Many women comrades came down from the mountains carrying a lot of wild vegetables and fruits, and they were as thin as bamboo poles.
The courtyard doors of several houses were open, the tables were missing legs, and the children were rolling on the ground. The floor inside this house was almost the same as outside, covered with dust. We even saw people carrying water home.
There were only cabbages and wild vegetables on the table, no meat, not even a fried egg. He became more and more panicked, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and his complexion became worse and worse.
It was not until Wang Xu parked his bike at the door of his house and saw that the house was not that shabby that Gu Chao's brows relaxed slightly. Seeing Gu Xi waiting at the door, he said, "Is this what you mean by everything is good? The conditions are too bad. How can you bear this environment and endure all these hardships!"
Gu Xi reached out and pulled Gu Chao into the yard. "I thought the same thing on my first day here. I felt that no place was suitable for living. In the end, only Wang Xu's place was suitable. He has a toilet and a bathroom. There is also a well in the yard, so we don't have to go out to fetch water. The place is also large, and it is a blue brick and tile house. I will ask him to clean up a room for you later."
Speaking of cleaning the room, Gu Chao finally realized, "Why is there no one at his house?"
What was to come had to come, so Gu Xi simply confessed, "Wang Xu's father married a stepmother, and the whole family lived next door. Wang Xu lived here alone. He lived in the room on the left, and I lived in the room in the middle. It's good for him to be alone, it's clean, no one cares about him, and he's free."
Gu Chao went from being shocked to being furious: "How can you two live together as a single man and a single woman? No, this guy has intentions towards you. Men know men best. Don't be so stupid as to jump into the trap. I strongly disagree. You have to move out and you are not allowed to live here."
Wang Xu heard this when he entered the yard and couldn't help but protest: "What's wrong with Gu Xi being here? I do all the work. I can give her meat every two or three days. She doesn't have to help me when the soy sauce bottle falls over. Moreover, I keep the place very clean. I clean the toilet every day. There is no other place as comfortable as this in the whole village."
Gu Chao refused to buy it: "You are being too attentive to me for no reason. You are either a traitor or a thief. Don't think I can't see that you have intentions towards Gu Xi. I won't agree to it. Gu Xi can't look for farmers. She has to go back to the city. If not, I have to go back and find a way to get her back as soon as possible.
Stop the thought in your mind right now, you are not worthy of her at all, she is our family's treasure, don't even think about it, my parents won't agree to it! "
Facing Gu Chao's fierce opposition, Wang Xu stood there silently.
Gu Xi couldn't bear to see him like this, and hit Gu Chao's back with a set of iron sand palms: "Why are you so fierce? You yell as soon as you come. I'm used to living here anyway. I won't move away. When the youth education center is expanded and there are single rooms, I will move to the youth education center. I have my own plans.
Wang Xu is also very good. I feel as comfortable here as I do at home. You have no right to object. It is my own life and my own choices. Even if my parents come, I will still say the same thing. "
Gu Chao wanted to hit her angrily, but even with his hands raised, he couldn't do it. From childhood to adulthood, no one in the family was willing to touch her. Wang Xu didn't understand the situation and grabbed his wrist: "What do you want to do?"
Gu Chao couldn't bear it, so Gu Xi couldn't bring herself to do it. She punched Gu Chao's chest with her little fist: "Why did you raise your hand? Gu Chao, I've been away for just a few months, and you've grown so much. You actually want to hit me. Where did you learn this bad habit? You want to fight over a disagreement. Only unreasonable people would hit others. I must tell my parents and let them teach you a lesson."
After hearing this, Wang Xu silently withdrew his hand and hid it behind his back.
Gu Chao lost all his energy immediately: "Is it okay for me to hit myself? Who did something wrong now? Why don't you think about your reputation? What will people say about you?"
Gu Xi knew he would say this a long time ago: "You live your own life, why bother about how others dress? A person of integrity has nothing to fear. I will definitely go back to Shanghai in the future. Although people here are less educated, they are all very honest. As long as they think you are good, they will protect you. You don't have to take those with bad intentions to heart.
When people get along with each other, they exchange hearts for each other's. Therefore, all your concerns do not exist. "
Gu Chao was relieved when he heard that she was definitely going back to Shanghai. He looked at Wang Xu proudly and said, "Did you hear that? My sister is going back to Shanghai. You'd better give up on this idea as soon as possible.
If you say so, you must have thought about it a long time ago. Then why didn't you say it earlier? It made me worried. But I'm always worried about you living here and he's watching you covetously. "
