The little tiger held the bowl forward with his chubby hands: "Mom! I want more!"
Chen Xingling smiled dotingly: "Okay, another bowl."
"Half a bowl will do." Li Ying frowned and tried to stop him, "Dry rice is filling, and a bowl is enough for a child."
The little guy hung his head and muttered in dissatisfaction: "My bowl is the smallest one."
His hands are not strong enough to hold a bowl that is too big, so since he was able to eat by himself, his mother has prepared a small bowl for him.
Chen Xingling ignored her mother-in-law's warning look and stood up on her own.
"I steamed a lot of rice today, enough for everyone to have two big bowls, including Little Tiger."
There was no shortage of rice and grain at home, so we should not waste it. How could we bear to let the children go hungry? She liked the delicious little baby the most. She played with him as much as she could and ate as much as she could.
Little Tiger smiled instantly, his little face covered with rice grains was filled with joy.
"Thank you, Mom! I want some more cabbage rice!"
Chen Xingling scooped him a full bowl and reminded him gently: "Eat until you are full. You can drink more seaweed soup later."
"Hey!" The little guy responded crisply, holding his chopsticks and eating.
Li Ying saw that she couldn't get a word in, and seeing Chen Xingling's domineering look as if "I cook the food, so I have the final say", she had no choice but to bury her head and continue eating.
After lunch, Gu Qi went back to his room to get money and hurried away with Gu Yi.
More than an hour later, the two brothers finally brought Gu Miao back.
After all, she was a little girl who had never seen the world. After being frightened like that, she turned pale and trembled, and her whole face looked pitifully pale.
As soon as she entered the house, she threw herself into Li Ying's arms and cried loudly, half because she felt wronged and half because she was afraid.
Gu Xuan brought her the rice that was warm on the stove and left her half a bowl of soup.
Gu Miao ate voraciously, scrambling with her chopsticks.
Li Ying watched from the side and felt heartbroken.
"Oh my goodness~~Eat slowly! Slowly!"
Gu Yi was peeling potatoes while counting the money.
"Last night, my sister-in-law said that we were not allowed to steal. We also agreed not to steal. Why are you stealing secretly? You big fool! Others have a lot of goods and can't run away, but you only have a big pig head. Why don't you throw it away and run away?"
Gu Miao sniffed and hesitated, "I... I don't know either. I saw a lot of people running at the time, and I was shocked. Later, I found that my mother was missing, and I wanted to follow the crowd - but Sister Tiantian said that the pig head could not be lost, and asked me to wait in the field, and she would help me find my mother. But as soon as she left, a group of people surrounded me."
"You are stupid!" Gu Yi scolded angrily, "You threw the pig's head away and ran away. Who would know that you are a pig's head seller? Others are regular vendors. They can't deny it! You only have a big pig's head in your hand. Even if you don't throw it away and say you bought it yourself - who would guess that you are a pig's head seller?! You! You are dumber than a pig's head!"
Chen Xingling, who was busy preparing braised pig's trotters in the kitchen, paused after hearing this and turned to ask her husband.
"Aqi, Qin Tiantian wasn't arrested this morning, right?"
Gu Qi was lighting a fire and answered calmly, "No."
Chen Xingling couldn't help but think of what Gu Xuan said in the morning, and he intuitively felt that Qin Tiantian seemed to have secretly played a role in this matter.
She clearly knew that Gu Miao was arrested, so why didn't she come to Gu's house to report the news? She had a bicycle, which was very convenient for her to go to the house, so why did she keep following the arrested Gu Miao?
Gu Miao was grateful and explained repeatedly: "Luckily, Sister Tiantian tipped off Big Brother and the others. When she saw me being arrested, she followed not far away, comforting me not to cry, and said that she would definitely ask Big Brother to save me. When I was transferred to the traffic brigade, Sister Tiantian followed me all the time. She said that if she could not save me, she would have jumped on them and fought to the death."
Li Ying smiled with relief and said, "Tiantian has been gentle and kind since she was young. She must have been heartbroken when she saw you being taken away."
"Of course!" Gu Miao nodded: "When I cried, she cried with me!"
Li Ying smiled and reminded: "She didn't dare to go home because she was with you, so Aunt Cai and the others thought she was also arrested, which scared Uncle Qin and the others. Fortunately, she is fine, and you finally returned home safely. Ah Miao, remember to send some rice cakes to Tiantian tomorrow to thank her."
"Yeah!" Gu Miao said with a smile: "Sister Tiantian really loves me! From now on, I will regard her as my other biological sister!"
After listening to this, Chen Xingling secretly rolled his eyes.
It's like this!
Yesterday, she deliberately instigated Li Ying and Gu Miaoqi to sell pork at a high price on the black market. Today, Gu Miaoqi wanted to escape but she tricked her into staying, resulting in her being caught red-handed.
Later, she acted as a "comforter" and even brought Gu Qi and Gu Yi with her. She finally rescued Gu Miao and then easily and smoothly became the "lifesaver" in Gu Miao's heart.
Gu Qi, who contributed money and effort, didn't even get a "thank you"!
In addition, if Gu Miao was detained for a few days, the Gu family would be in chaos. They would not be able to celebrate the Spring Festival. According to Li Ying's temper, she would probably cry and make a fuss every day, or even fall ill and lie on the kang.
With his younger sister being detained and his old mother seriously ill, Gu Qi would most likely have to postpone his plan to return to Yucheng. After all, as the eldest son in the family, how could he just leave in such a dire situation!
If the other party hadn't caught too many vendors and only needed to impose fines, Qin Tiantian would have succeeded by now!
No matter what happened to Gu Miao later, Qin Tiantian was the one who informed Gu Qi, and was a good sister who accompanied Gu Miao through thick and thin. In the end, she became Gu Miao's "great benefactor".
This trick is really great!
For Qin Tiantian, it is absolutely beneficial with no harm.
After Chen Xingling figured out the whole story, he had to become alert.
She is worthy of being the biggest female villain and the greenest green tea bitch in the novel, her whole body is shiny with green!
…
Because of Gu Miao's matter, the New Year's Eve dinner this year was prepared a little hastily. Her family had just slaughtered a pig, and there were meat and vegetables on the table, so the New Year's Eve dinner was quite sumptuous.
Little Tiger put on new clothes and new shoes, listened to the cheers of children on the street and the occasional firecrackers, and was so excited that he didn't even bother to eat the reunion dinner.
"Mom, can I go out and play? The big girls are all playing with lanterns!"
Chen Xingling was busy packing up and said, "Wait a little longer."
"Tiger!" Gu Yi produced a small red envelope from his arms and waved it around like a treasure: "How about it?"
Little Tiger immediately jumped forward and said, "Red envelope! I want it! Thank you, uncle!"
Gu Yi laughed and stuffed the small red envelope into his small pocket.
"Keep it safe and go buy some delicious food later!"
Li Ying frowned slightly and couldn't help whispering: "He is still young, how can he know how to receive red envelopes..."
"Mom, where is the red envelope you gave to Xiao Huzi?" Gu Yi deliberately shouted loudly: "Take it out quickly! You are the oldest elder in the family!"
Li Ying was a little embarrassed. She went back to the house and fiddled with it for a while. Finally, she took out a small red envelope wrapped in red paper and handed it to Xiaohuzi.
"Thank you grandma!" the little guy thanked her happily.
