Chapter 5: Cuter

Someone's coming!

Chen Xingling blinked her eyes - she intuitively felt that these bottles of dazzling packaging and expensive things in her arms were not easy for people to see, otherwise even if she could explain it clearly, no one would believe it, and she couldn't believe it.

So he quickly flashed back into the space and hid them all in a shopping basket in the corner.

The door of the ward was pushed open, and Gu Qi walked in with a cold body, with a net pocket twisted in his hand, which contained several steaming aluminum lunch boxes.

He opened the first one and handed it to her.

"It's dry rice, and I also bought some braised pork and two dishes, plus two egg dumplings."

Chen Xingling's stomach was already hungry, and he instinctively swallowed saliva when he smelled the aroma of the food.

"Are these expensive? Is the lunch box included? ”

She is used to eating transparent plastic takeaway boxes, and she can't accept such a hard and dirty aluminum lunch box.

Gu Qihu looked at her suspiciously, but still took the initiative to explain: "This is rented for a given deposit, two cents a piece, and you have to return it to the store after eating." Rest assured, the meals add up to a total of four cents, which is not very expensive. I had to buy meal tickets in the hospital cafeteria, but unfortunately the person who sold the tickets was not there, so I had to go to the small restaurant outside to buy them. ”

Chen Xingling, who had a bottle of nourishing cream on his face and asked for 799 pieces: "......"

Actually, she didn't think it was "very expensive", on the contrary - it was terribly cheap!

In this era when the salary of ordinary workers is only forty or fifty yuan, she is a poor woman with only a few thousand savings left in her card, and she can definitely be regarded as a rich woman on the rich side!

Thinking of this, her heart immediately blossomed!

Gu Qi saw that her eyes were shining, and he was secretly astringent in his heart.

How long has it been since she had eaten meat? staring at the braised pork, he was so happy that he kept giggling.

"Don't look at it, eat it." He handed her a pair of wooden chopsticks.

Chen Xingling only drank a bowl of porridge last night, fainted in the morning until now, and has not eaten anything all day, and has long been hungry.

She gulped down, almost gobbling it down.

The old saying makes the most sense - when you are hungry, everything you eat is fragrant. Although the meat is a little firewood and the vegetables are a little old, she can't stand the fact that she is too hungry and eats with relish.

Gu Qi on the side saw it clearly, and his heart was very uncomfortable, with mixed tastes.

The old mother was fat and round, his two sisters were plump and slightly fat, and even his son was chubby, but she was the only one who was thin and shriveled, and her face was pale and sallow with malnutrition.

She didn't say anything, but he roughly guessed it.

Chen Xingling saw that he was not slow to eat, and his movements were very gentle, but he was like a wolf and a tiger, and he smiled slightly embarrassed.

"I ate too fast...... Will there not be enough vegetables and meat? ”

Gu Qi shook his head and said softly: "I'm enough, you eat more." ”

After that, he sandwiched the two slices of braised pork on his lunch box to her.

Chen Xingling was so hungry that he muttered and thanked him, swept away all the food, and in line with the fine and beautiful character that could not be wasted, he didn't even let go of the last piece of rice, so he was satisfied and put down his chopsticks.

Gu Qi was very unbearable, but he had never been good at words, and he didn't know how to express the discomfort in his heart at this time.

He whispered: "Last month, the factory was finally divided, and I divided a set of three bedrooms and two living rooms, which is very spacious. After the New Year, I will take you and the little tiger to Yucheng together. ”

After returning from studying abroad, he wanted to go back to his hometown to pick her up and Xiaohu to reunite in Chongqing.

Who knew that the old mother said that she was sick, and she was reluctant to take care of the little tiger, and there was no one around to take care of her.

At that time, he lived in a small single room in the tube building, the place was cramped and complicated, and the environment and sanitation were not very good.

My younger brother went to the countryside in my hometown, and my two younger sisters were still studying, and there was really no one to take care of my sick mother, so the plan had to be put on hold for the time being.

When he came back this time, he would take her and Xiaohuzi south no matter what, and he must not let her stay here anymore.

Chen Xingling's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he nodded busily: "Okay, okay!" ”

Gu Qi put away the lunch box and washed it, put on a military coat, and then took it out and returned it to the store.

The night was dark, the north was howling outside the window, and it was cold in the ward.

Chen Xingling wrapped the heavy quilt on her body tightly, her stomach was full, and her body warmed up, and she quickly fell asleep with the optimistic spirit of "when the sky falls".

After Gu Qi came back, he thought that she had fallen into a coma again, so he hurriedly found the doctor on duty to check on her.

The doctor took the stethoscope back and whispered, "It's out of the way, the inflammation of the lungs is much better." She was just too sleepy and fell asleep. ”

Gu Qi was slightly embarrassed and bowed politely: "Thank you, doctor." ”

Then, he leaned over to arrange the quilt and tuck the corners of the quilt.

The doctor advised: "The patient is malnourished and has a deviant constitution. No matter how young you are, you can't afford to be hungry for a long time. If your blood sugar is too low, you are more likely to feel dizzy. The root cause is that you still have to supplement nutrition and try to eat as much as possible. ”

Gu Qi listened carefully and nodded.

The doctor turned to leave, and the room was deserted again.

Gu Qi half leaned on the edge of the bed, looking at his wife's sleeping face, and unconsciously his thoughts flew around.

I haven't seen her for more than three years, and her temperament is much more cheerful than before.

Thinking of the old mother's vicious attitude towards her, he guessed a little.

Her husband is not around, the child is still young, but her mother-in-law's family does not want to see her. If she didn't have such a good attitude of making fun in suffering, she might not have been able to run back to her mother's house in Yucheng for a long time.

People are cheerful, smiling, and confident, as if they have changed into a different person.

However, it seems to be cuter now.

……

At this time, the wards in the south of the city were sweet and quiet, and the Gu family in the north of the city was in a mess.

The Gu family used to be a large family, and it was the only single-family family on Ping'an Street, with courtyards in the front and back, the hall in the middle, four rooms on the left and right, and four elegant small rooms on the second floor.

The black dog in the front yard barked non-stop, and the little tiger at the kitchen door gnawed on the hard rice crackers, sobbing and crying, tears and snot all over his face.

Li Ying was hurriedly stir-frying in the kitchen, while shouting at her daughter to come and help.

"Ah Xuan! Wonderful! Where are you hiding?! What time is it? I don't know how to come and help me in the kitchen! You haven't eaten dinner yet! ”

Gu Xuan, who was doing his homework in the study, hurriedly went downstairs, went straight to the kitchen, picked up the little tiger on the threshold and picked it up.

Li Ying urged: "Mali burns the fire, and the steamed buns in the pot are not hot yet." ”

Gu Xuan has never liked to talk, so he squatted down clumsily with Xiaohuzi in his arms, picked up the dry firewood in the corner, and threw it under the stove with unfamiliar movements.

At this time, a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old ran in, with a white appearance, a small round face, a floral cloth jacket and two small braids, and a small red silk bow tied on her head.

"Mom! The chickens in the backyard cooed, and several of them even ran to the front yard! ”

Li Ying fried the cabbage, and the spatula turned over.

"No one has been fed all day, can the chickens not cooin from hunger? You throw some rotten leaves for them to nibble on, and Mari drives them into the coop. Also, pour yesterday's rancid rice soup to Heiwang to eat. ”

"I'm not going!" Gu Miao pouted: "The chicken nest stinks, and the rancid rice soup stinks!" These are the work of the country woman, why should I do it? Wait for her to come back and let her! ”

Li Ying snorted coldly: "She has already woken up, and she is still pretending to be sick!" There is no one to do a lot of work at home, pigs, chickens, and dogs are not fed, clothes are not washed, and food is not burned! She's pretty lazy! ”
