The next morning, the sun came out.

The sun was shining brightly, and the temperature immediately rose a lot, and although there were still gusts of north wind howling, the chill around quickly dissipated.

The workers who worked took off their thin cotton jackets, leaving only the long-sleeved factory clothes in autumn to wear, and they did not feel cold, and the workers who did heavy work even hung a light sweat.

Gu Qi, who has never been afraid of the cold, still wears a long-sleeved thin shirt and blue worker pants, and only wears an extra sweater vest on the outside.

When he was cooking, many people stared sideways at his vest, and their eyes were full of envy.

"Gu Gong, is your vest woven by your daughter-in-law? The style is so beautiful! ”

Gu Qi smiled slightly and nodded: "My daughter-in-law asked me to wear it." ”

When he went out in the morning, Xing'er stopped him from going out wearing only two thin shirts, saying that he wanted to put on an extra vest, which would not affect his drawing and keep warm.

He had no choice but to obey.

This vest is very flattering to the skin tone, giving people a simple and luxurious feeling. In the morning, I saw her take it out of the cupboard, saying that it was one of the winter clothes prepared for him. He guessed it was mostly knitted when she was in her hometown.

Everyone couldn't help but glance at it a few more times, and praised her sister-in-law for being really ingenious.

Gu Qi's heart was sweet, and he was happier than when he was praised.

A colleague gave a thumbs up: "It's good-looking!" Your face is white, and you wear it in a luxurious way! Like the son-in-law of the Republic of China! ”

Another female colleague asked, "Master Gu, can I borrow some pattern drawings?" I want to knit one for my lover too! ”

Gu Qi smiled and said, "I'll go back and ask my daughter-in-law." ”

"Hey! That's troublesome! The female colleague was busy thanking her.

Someone joked: "I think you'd better forget it!" Even if you can knit exactly the same, your lover can't dress as well as someone else's! You have to have his figure and body, and he will look good in that kind of wear! Your lover's belly is big and fat, and she must look like a sausage when she wears it! ”

The crowd laughed.

The female colleague blushed and said, "Forget it!" Save yourself from wasting my new yarn! ”

Soon, it was Gu Qi's turn.

He made two hot meals, plus a portion of braised pork, and walked to the table in the corner.

Xiaohuzi sat on the bench and waited, his chubby little hands supporting his head, as if he was thoughtful.

"Eat quickly." Gu Qi pushed it to his son and handed him a small spoon.

Xiaohuzi took it and whispered absentmindedly: "Thank you, Dad." ”

Gu Qi buried his head in eating, and kept observing his son out of the corner of his eye, and found that he was eating a little slowly today.

"What's wrong? Can't eat? Is there something uncomfortable? ”

Xiaohuzi shook his head.

Gu Qi couldn't help but ask, "Is it that the area of the special figure I drew for you the night last night can't be solved?" ”

"It's not." Little Huzi's eyes widened and he replied, "I'll figure it out soon." ”

Gu Qi let out a low "um" and didn't ask any more.

My son sleeps very well at night and rarely kicks the quilt. Occasionally kick the quilt open, once there is a chill on the body, I will grab the quilt and cover myself again.

In addition, Xing'er prepared long pajamas for him and told him to put them on when he woke up to make sure that he wouldn't catch a cold when he got up.

Not only that, Xing'er would boil a bowl or two of delicious herbal tea for Xiaohuzi to drink every three or four days to make sure that he wouldn't get angry by stealing candy or cookies.

If your child's stomach is overwhelmed, his appetite will deteriorate, and he will easily fall ill with a high fever if he catches a cold or encounters other things.

Among children of about the same age, the son is considered to be in good health, and rarely gets sick or catches a cold.

First, he benefited from his mother's careful care and teaching, and secondly, he was very self-disciplined, and he would remember what he had taught him.

Since it wasn't that he had a bad appetite, it was something on his mind, so Gu Qi didn't ask any more.

Sure enough, the little guy frowned and complained, "Dad, Uncle Dali asked me to do one more favor in the morning." I helped, but the answer ...... Something seems strange. ”

The chopsticks in Gu Qi's hand paused slightly, and asked, "What are you busy with?" What's the answer? ”

Xiaohuzi's chubby little face was full of seriousness, and explained: "Uncle Dali asked me to send a letter to Aunt Li, I sent it, and Auntie left it aside and didn't look at it, and then sent me small cookies to eat." Mom told me to tell Uncle Dali the truth. But Uncle Dali asked me to go to Aunt Li again and ask her if she had replied. I went just now, but the answer Aunt Li said was weird. ”

"What's the weird way?" Gu Qi asked.

Xiao Huzi pouted and whispered: "She said, Huzi, you just tell him - if you don't reply, you will reply." Dad, what do you say about this answer? No reply to the letter? Isn't that untenable? ”

Forehead?

Gu Qi smiled dumbly: "Whatever Auntie asks you to say, you can just copy it and tell Uncle Dali to listen." You say so, and he knows the answer. ”

"Really? Can you understand? Xiaohuzi couldn't help but ask, "Then why didn't Aunt Li reply?" ”

Where did Gu Qi know why, and he was not interested in knowing at all.

"Didn't she say it? If she doesn't reply, she writes. ”

Xiaohuzi was almost dizzy, muttering: "How can the words of adults be so difficult to understand!" Is there anything you can't just say? ”

Gu Qi looked at the little guy in front of him with some embarrassment, and explained warmly: "There are some things that can't be said too directly, otherwise it may hurt the feelings of others." Mathematics has to be clear, almost not at all, it has to be completely correct. But people are different, more obscure, more vague, should be the best. ”

"The best? It's true? Little Tiger Zihu asked.

Gu Qi nodded and urged: "Eat quickly, don't talk about it." There is only one mouth, and I have to talk and eat, where can I take care of it. If you can't do it at the same time, eat first. ”

"Uh-oh." Little Tiger Horse Grilled Rice.

Gu Qi quickly ate enough, took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and then took out his son's handkerchief from another pocket and put it aside.

"Remember, whatever Aunt Li tells you, you will reply to Uncle Dali. It's best to keep a word out and don't say a word less. ”

"It's not difficult." Little Tiger grunted.

Gu Qi nodded in satisfaction.

At this time, Gu Yi came with two aluminum lunch boxes.

"Big brother, are you full? So fast? ”

Gu Qi said lightly: "It's not that I'm fast, it's that you're slow." ”

Xiaohuzi shouted crisply: "Uncle! ”

Gu Yi rubbed his head and sat beside the little guy.

"No way, just now the inspector said that there is a zero line that seems to be slanted, and I will pick it up with the master Mali. Ten minutes passed after a back and forth. ”

Then, he buried his head and gulped down the rice.

Gu Qi looked at the two boxed lunches in front of his younger brother and frowned slightly.

"Why is there only rice and a vegetarian dish?"

Gu Yi didn't dare to raise his head, and said in a muffled voice: "Just eat enough!" The rice tube is full...... Carry hunger. I just ate the mutton hot pot made by my sister-in-law last night, and I will get some meat in the evening, so I don't have to eat meat all the time. ”

In fact, there is really no money around them, and he and Xing'er only eat steamed buns with some pickles in the morning.

The millet tank in the rental house is about to bottom out, and the salary has not yet arrived. Xing'er said, cook some porridge for dinner, so it doesn't cost too much rice.

The two discussed that they would eat enough at noon, and the other two meals should be dealt with, so they didn't have to eat too much, and they must wait until the day they got their wages to buy rice.

lied to the eldest brother that he would make meat again at night, but in fact, he just wanted to save face, and he didn't want the eldest brother to worry about himself.

Gu Qi's eyes flashed slightly, and he whispered: "Your sister-in-law said that she is lazy in winter and doesn't want to wash the dishes, so let Xiaoxing come over with you in the evening to eat together, help clean the inside and outside, and help her relieve some of her burden." ”

“…… Good. Gu Yi was secretly moved.

He knew that this was an excuse made up by his sister-in-law, and wanted them to go over and eat some delicious food, but he still said that he wanted them to help.

It must have been the sister-in-law who found out that they couldn't even afford a quilt, and concluded that their days were too tight, and secretly felt sorry for them, so she said that.

Xiaohuzi was also full, and pushed the remaining pieces of braised pork and a little green vegetables to Gu Yi.

"Uncle, I'm full. You help me eat the food, or Dad will say I'm wasting food. ”

Gu Yi nodded busily and pulled all the leftovers from his lunch box.

Xiaohuzi waved goodbye to him and took his father's hand and left the cafeteria.
