Gu Miao couldn't help swallowing her saliva and asked in surprise: "What milk powder? Brother, are you still buying milk powder? I heard that foreign stuff costs more than two yuan a bag!"
"I didn't buy it." Gu Qi explained calmly, "It was given to me by the factory director. He heard that I was going to my hometown to celebrate, so he gave me two packs and asked me to bring them to Gu Yinmo."
Ying's face turned purple with anger, and she shouted angrily: "That's a rare thing, how can you eat it right after bringing it here!"
"Okay." Chen Xingling said with a smile, "Then we won't eat it next time. Let's leave it for Xiao Huzi."
Ying stared in disbelief: "That——"
"So it was specially given to Xiao Huzi by the factory director." Chen Xingling interrupted her, saying cheerfully, "Since everyone is reluctant to give it to Xiao Huzi, then give it back to him to make water to drink."
Ying was so angry that her liver ached and she couldn't speak.
Gu Miao jumped up immediately after hearing this and screamed, "How can that be possible! I've never drunk foreign milk powder before! I want to drink it too!"
She is the youngest in the family. Usually, no matter whether it is delicious or drinkable, her brothers and sisters will give in to her, and her mother will always let her eat the best.
Gu Qi was always generous to others, and said, "Go get some from your sister-in-law."
Forehead?
Gu Miao rolled her eyes, pouted and started to make trouble.
"Mom has always been in charge of the things at home. Big brother, how many good things did you bring? Why don't you keep them for mom? Don't let me leave everything behind!"
Gu Qi was stunned and couldn't react.
What does this mean?
When Ying heard her little daughter say this, a smile finally returned to her fat face.
"That's right! It's better for mom to help you take care of it. If you don't stay here for a few days, there will be nothing left."
Chen Xingling smiled secretly. As soon as their tails were raised, she guessed what they were going to do.
"Actually, Aqi didn't bring much. The bacon was hung under the eaves, and there was only a little milk powder. I brought all the milk powder to the kitchen and put it in the cabinet. The suitcase is too big, so it's more convenient to put it in our room."
Ying rolled her eyes when she heard this.
How could there be only a little bacon and milk powder in such a big suitcase!
The eldest son's unit has very good benefits. He has a high position, a high salary, and is highly valued by his superiors. Every time he has a holiday, he will be given a lot of gifts.
This country fisher girl took advantage of Aqi's coming and not only wanted to occupy his person, but also wanted to take away his luggage box and good things!
Without her mother-in-law to control her, she would eat and drink lavishly, and eat many rare things in one meal. How could she be allowed to act so recklessly!
So, she ordered with a sullen face: "Aqi, you move all the suitcases to my room later, and your wife is not allowed to touch anything."
"That's right!" Gu Miao quickly agreed: "Brother, everything at home has to be arranged by mom."
Gu Qi's handsome brows frowned, and his appetite instantly disappeared.
He slowly put down his chopsticks and asked, "What are you going to do? Didn't Xing'er explain it clearly just now? I only brought bacon and milk powder, and the rest were books and clothes. She hung the bacon under the eaves and planned to put the milk powder in the kitchen. What are you doing that is holding you back?"
They didn't come to cook, but they devoured the food when they ate. My wife cooked the meal despite her sick body, but she only ate a small bowl of vegetables.
After eating, they blamed their wives for using such good ingredients - didn't they eat them all?
For just a little bacon and milk powder, they went to the extent of being on guard against people and animals, even his suitcase was not spared!
Where is the most basic trust between family members? To the point where suspicion and distrust have arisen!
Ying saw that her son seemed angry, but was still obsessed and refused to give up.
"Really... just two? Nothing else?"
Gu Qi stood up indifferently, and helped Chen Xingling, who was standing beside him, to stand up as well. He glanced coldly at his old mother and younger sister.
"Do you want to search my belongings? Same as this afternoon?"
After saying this, he took Chen Xingling's hand and left the kitchen, his back looking cold and resolute.
Little Tiger wiped his little mouth with his sleeve, jumped off the stool, and ran out after his parents.
Gu Miao ate with a smacking mouth, even drinking the last bit of soup.
"Brother, what's wrong? We are his relatives, so the good things should be given to our own people!"
Gu Xuan was cleaning up the dishes and glared at her when he heard that.
"Shut up, or I'll be completely disappointed in you."
Gu Miao curled her lips: "What? What do you mean?"
Ying was so angry that she slammed the table: "You can't even tell the difference between your family and outsiders! How can Aqi be so confused! If the good stuff falls into the hands of that country fisherwoman, she will definitely eat it all up!"
Gu Xuan cleared the dishes in front of her table and said in a chilling voice, "Aren't you also from another family? Our surname is 'Gu', and yours is '夌'."
Ying: “…”
…………
After nightfall, the wind howled and the cold became even worse.
Chen Xingling tucked in his son's quilt and touched the wall - it was warm, so he felt relieved.
At the desk, Gu Qi was concentrating on drawing a complicated blueprint with a pencil in one hand and a ruler in the other.
Chen Xingling didn't understand much and just stared at the books on the bookshelf out of boredom.
In addition to dictionaries and encyclopedias, there are also more than a dozen junior and high school textbooks, several world classics, plus dozens of excerpts of Tang poetry and Song lyrics of varying thicknesses, the Four Books and Five Classics, and even "Zizhi Tongjian".
She laughed quietly.
I didn’t expect that the books he reads are quite diverse!
Not knowing what the textbooks from decades ago looked like, she curiously took down two and slowly flipped through them.
Occasionally, one or two notes or answers to questions appear in the textbook. The handwriting is somewhat like the Slender Gold Style, which is handsome and elegant, and very pleasing to the eye.
As the handwriting reflects the person, one can guess at a glance that it is Gu Qi's handwriting.
"What are you laughing at?" He looked up at her at some point, his eyes gentle as he asked.
Chen Xingling closed the book and answered without thinking, "It's OK. It's not difficult."
For a modern top student who has walked through the narrow bridge of college entrance examination and experienced many battles, a text of this length is really not difficult, just ordinary.
Gu Qi raised his eyebrows and his eyes fell on the math textbook in her hand.
"Really? You studied in junior high school, right? Can you understand high school textbooks?"
Chen Xingling's home is in a small fishing village on the coast of Chongqing. There is only one primary school nearby. Many children do not go to school, so Chen Xingling helps go fishing to support his family since he was a teenager.
She was lucky because she was the youngest and the only girl in the family, so her mother loved her like a treasure.
Her parents and brother didn't want her to be an illiterate child, so they saved money to send her to school.
Unexpectedly, she was a poor student and didn't want to continue studying after graduating from elementary school.
My fourth brother, who happened to be a sailor at the time, came home and repeatedly said that reading and writing were important, and asked my sister to learn more.
Later, she was sent to the county middle school by her brothers to attend junior high school. She went out early and came back late every day, and her brothers at home took turns to pick her up and drop her off.
Even though his academic performance was very poor and he had to take make-up exams several times, he finally got his junior high school diploma and became the only "top student" in his family who graduated from junior high school.
Chen Xingling let out an "uh" sound and lied without stopping.
"These past few nights, after finishing my chores, I would use your book to kill time. If I didn't understand something, I would look it up in a dictionary or other books. I thought, I might not be able to master it even if I learn it, but it never hurts to learn more, right?"
