Chapter 184 No Merit, No Reward
When he smiled, his eyes sparkled, with a man's depth and a boy's innocence. Li Sihui stared at him for a long time before looking away. She then picked up another piece of meat for him and cut it silently.
"I won't eat it anymore. I'll take it back for grandpa to try."
Zhou Zixu looked at the meat that Li Sihui handed over to him, the aroma of meat still lingering in his mouth. Two more bowls would not be enough for him.
He has been close to his grandfather since he was a child, and always thinks of his grandfather when he gets good things. This has become his habit.
He looked at Li Sihui inquiringly, after all, these were her family's things.
"I'll trade with you. I'll get you some noodles tomorrow."
Afraid that she would not agree, he specifically proposed an exchange. Li Sihui took a look at him and found the conditions very tempting.
The majestic old man appeared in front of her again. The corners of her mouth raised slightly, and her eyes looked at Zhou Zixu much softer.
"No need to change, I'll give it to grandpa to eat."
He took two pieces of meat out of the pot, placed them on the chopping board, looked up and ordered Li Jianguo.
"Go get a basin and put it back for your brother Zhou."
"It's given to you, so just eat it!"
He looked at Zhou Zixu and saw that he was frowning, so he kindly pointed at the meat in his bowl and invited him to eat.
"No, I won't accept the reward without merit. You finally hunted the roe deer. Don't worry, I will bring you food. You should also make new clothes. Oh, I brought you a gift, but it seems you can't wear it now."
Zhou Zixu put down the bowl without touching the meat in it. He stood up, tugged at his military uniform, and walked towards the car with big strides.
Li Sihui frowned and looked at him. What was wrong with this guy? He hadn't eaten enough just now, so he refused to eat after I cut it for him?
"Here, I saw your shoes were showing your toes the other day. I bought them at the supply and marketing cooperative when I came here. You...you were so fat before, so I bought the largest size."
Zhou Zixu handed Li Sihui a pair of new purple corduroy shoes. There was a strap on the instep that buckled directly to the clip next to it. These shoes were considered pretty good at the time.
"Uh...thank you."
Li Sihui looked at the pair of shoes and compared them with her feet. They were too big and she had to walk in slippers.
"Well, wait for me at home. I'll go home and find you some clothes and change your shoes."
Zhou Zixu measured it with his hand, snatched the shoes from Li Sihui, and left without waiting for her to answer.
"Jianguo, send the meat over."
When Li Sihui saw the pot of meat on the ground, she hurriedly called her brother to bring it over.
Unexpectedly, before Li Jianguo came over, Zhou Zixu turned back.
"Come on! Come home with me, or we'll waste time going back and forth. I've already made an appointment with Teacher Wang, so you can try on the shoes at the supply and marketing cooperative."
Li Sihui also thought it made sense. Going back and forth would take at least one or two hours, which was indeed a waste of time.
"Jianguo, bring me the raincoat and flashlight from the house."
She thought of Zhou Zisong, who seemed to be Zhou Zixu's elder brother, and she planned to return the things.
Zhou Zixu stood aside waiting for her. When he saw the raincoat Li Jianguo took out, his eyes turned dark and he looked at Li Sihui and asked her.
"This is a military raincoat. Who gave it to you?"
"Your elder brother."
Li Sihui carefully folded the raincoat with one hand, holding the flashlight in her hand, pointing at the bowl of meat on the chopping board and ordering Zhou Zixu.
"This is for grandpa, you take it!"
Zhou Zixu blinked twice. Li Sihui's way of calling him grandpa was so sweet and natural.
"good."
He picked up the basin obediently, and turned around to see Li Sihui following him with her pants in her hand. She looked very tired. He was worried that her pants would fall down, and not only would she be embarrassed, he would also feel embarrassed.
