Chapter 4: Encounter Qu Bowen Again
Shen's father and Shen's mother came out of the house and sat down at the dinner table.
"My daughter is back, come and eat, your second brother made the scrambled eggs you like to eat." Mother Shen greeted her daughter.
Shen Zhi walked to the dining table and sat down.
"What's wrong?" Shen's mother saw that her daughter's face was not good, and her sharp eyes looked at Shen Guohao.
"Didn't you let your little sister go to Gu Chen's house? Your little sister let that kid bully, didn't she? β
"My little sister was very happy and smiled." Shen Guohao looked stunned and scratched his head.
Shen Muhu looked at him suspiciously, "Then what's wrong with your little sister, you bullied her?" β
"No, no, I don't." Shen Guohao hurriedly waved his hand, how could he bully his little sister, it was too late to hurt his little sister.
Shen's mother sandwiched an egg and put it into Shen Zhi's bowl, "Eat more." β
Shen Zhi raised his head at this time, and saw the family looking at him worriedly, and he didn't react for a while, what was going on?
"Look at me anyway, eat, Mom, you and Dad eat more."
Shen Zhi put the eggs in the bowl of Shen's father and Shen's mother, and divided the rest among the two brothers.
"Little sister." Shen Guohao was stunned for a moment, looking at the abnormal little sister who had finished dividing all the eggs on the plate.
Mother Shen was the first to come back to her senses, "What are you doing with the eggs, we have scrambled two eggs in total." β
Shen Zhi covered the bowl to avoid the eggs that Shen's mother brought back, "Mom, there will be delicious food in the future, let's eat it together." β
"You, your father, and your eldest brother and second brother do so much heavy work every day, you have to eat something good to replenish your body."
As soon as Shen Zhi said this, the eyes of the four people who looked at her changed, and their eyes were filled with tears.
"Okay, okay, I'm grown up now, eat it quickly, if you don't eat vegetables, it's going to be cold, and eating it is not good for your stomach."
Shen Zhi suppressed her choked throat, if it continued like this, she would cry.
"Okay, okay, let's eat." Mother Shen raised her hand and quietly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Shen Zhi raised her eyes and looked at the four of them, and sat together to eat with her family again, she felt like she was in a dream.
In this life, she must live well with her family, it is now April 1977, and soon the resumption of the college entrance examination will be announced in October, and the college entrance examination will be available in November.
She must take the college entrance examination, be admitted to college, let her family live a good life, and find a daughter-in-law for her two brothers.
There is also Gu Chen, she owes him a lot, she must be kind to others in this life, and try to make up for the debts in the previous life.
After eating, Shen Zhi subconsciously packed up the dishes and chopsticks to wash the dishes, but was taken away by Shen's mother.
"I don't need you to wash the dishes. There's malt cream in the kitchen, go get some of it. β
Malt milk essence was a good thing at that time, it could be regarded as a "luxury", and when Shen's mother said this, Shen Zhi was really a little greedy.
Shen Zhi ran to the kitchen, took out three enamel cups, scooped a little of the three cups, and took boiling water to wash them away.
One cup was given to the two older brothers and one to the parents, and only three cups were taken, considering that they would definitely be reluctant to drink.
Shen's mother came in with the washed dishes and chopsticks, and saw her daughter brewing three cups of malt cream, and her expression was stunned, what is the girl doing?
"Mom, this cup is for you and Dad." Shen Zhi handed over the cup, took the dishes and chopsticks from Shen's mother's hand and put them in the cupboard.
Mother Shen held the cup but refused to drink it, "This is for you to drink, and your father and I don't drink it." β
"Mom-" Shen Zhi took Shen's mother's arm and shook it a few times, "I'm embarrassed to drink alone." β
"You drink it with Dad, and this cup is for your brothers." Shen Zhi walked out with another cup.
"What, give them back to drink!" Mother Shen glared and raised her voice.
"And this cup for Dad?" Shen Zhi turned his head and tilted his head and asked.
Mother Shen waved her hand, "Forget it, give them a drink." β
Shen Zhi hooked the corners of her mouth, and she knew that her mother felt sorry for her brothers in her heart.
The eldest brother and the second brother had just taken off their shirts, and the two of them were competing with each other, arguing about who was better, and they didn't hear anyone knocking on the door at all.
Startled by the sound of the sudden opening of the door, he saw that it was a little sister, and hurriedly put on his clothes.
Shen Zhi lowered her head embarrassedly, she knocked on the door, but she didn't expect the two brothers to be comparing muscles.
"Little sister, is there something wrong?" The eldest brother blushed, but the second brother was the first to speak.
"I'll bring you malt cream." Shen Zhi put the enamel cup in the second brother's hand.
"You drink with your big brother."
Malt cream? Shen Guohao heard that his little sister had sent malt milk essence, and hurriedly walked over.
"We don't drink it, my little sister does." Malt milk essence is too precious, and if the little sister has this heart, they are already very happy.
"I have it, my parents have drunk it too, you guys drink it quickly, it will be cold in a while." Shen Zhi smiled sweetly and ran back to the kitchen.
The two brothers looked at each other.
"You drink first."
"You drink first."
"Big brother drink first." Shen Guoguo stuffed the cup into the eldest brother's hand.
Shen Guohao took a sip unceremoniously, and then handed it to the second brother, "It's sweet and delicious." β
Shen Guoli took it with a smile, it's really good, why did the little sister change so much this day? Could it be that he fell into the river and changed his temperament?
Shen Zhi came out of the kitchen after drinking malt cream, it was not early, and his parents went back to sleep.
When I walked through the courtyard to the house, I ran over to close the courtyard door when I saw that the courtyard door was not closed, but I was grabbed by a pair of hands.
A pair of familiar faces appeared in front of her, it was Qu Bowen.
"What are you doing here?" Shen Zhi frowned and looked at him.
Qu Bowen saw the alienation in Shen Zhi's eyes, and he didn't see the joy of seeing him before.
Was it because she was unhappy that she washed her shoes and fell into the river?
Even if he was unhappy, that person should be right, let him wait all afternoon, didn't wait for his shoes, and now he has to run over in person.
"Where's my shoes?"
Qu Bowen has a habit of cleanliness, a total of two pairs of shoes are worn in rotation, and the shoes worn the next day must be washed every day.
Since Shen Zhi chased after him, the task of washing shoes was handed over to her, and every afternoon when she came back from work, she would send the cleaned shoes to his place early.
I didn't see my shoes when I got back from work today, and I heard that Shen Zhi fell into the river, and it was Gu Chen who rescued him.
Qu Bowen didn't care about that, he only cared about the pair of shoes he was going to wear tomorrow morning.
After dinner, he still didn't wait for Shen Zhi to come, so he found it in the dark.
"Shoesβ" Shen Zhi thought for a moment.
"It's still floating in the river, it shouldn't have sunk yet, it's too late to fish now."
"You threw my shoes in the water, how am I going to wear them tomorrow?"
When Qu Bowen heard that his shoes were still floating in the river, he suddenly became angry.
How did he go to get shoes in this dark day? I can't wear it tomorrow, and I can fall into the river when I wash my shoes, it's really stupid.
Qu Bowen did not hide his dislike for Shen Zhi in his eyes.
Shen Zhi sneered, he was really blind before, and he fell in love with this kind of man.
Anyone who likes her a little, the first sentence of his mouth should not be about shoes, her life is not as important as a pair of shoes in his eyes.
"I almost drowned in the water to wash your shoes, and your broken shoes are worth more than my life?"
"Don't come to me in the future, and I won't wash your shoes." Shen Zhi was about to close the door after speaking.
Qu Bowen calmed down, and when he saw that Shen Zhi was angry, he hurriedly lowered his voice and coaxed.
"I didn't mean that, weren't you rescued by Gu Chen, my shoes are still in the river, and I won't change my shoes tomorrow."
"At that time, if I had fished up the shoes together, there would have been no such thing."
"I'm not angry at you, it's also Gu Chen to blame, if he fishes up the shoes, we won't quarrel now, right?"
Qu Bowen said that the culprit of the matter was Gu Chen, he was really embarrassed, his face was gone, and the books were all read in the dog's belly.
She is not the Shen Zhi she used to be, she will not believe his words stupidly, and conversely say that Gu Chen's is not.
Shen Zhi sneered, with mockery in his eyes.
"You mean this matter is Gu Chen's fault?"
Qu Bowen saw that Shen Zhi finally understood what he meant, and hurriedly responded.
"It's his fault, it's his fault, it's he who pushed you into the river."
Seeing that Shen Zhi was silent, Qu Bowen stepped forward, "This matter is not my fault or your fault, it is Gu Chen's fault." β
The figure standing under the tree paused for a moment, then turned away with the basket, the hand holding the basket clenched a little, and the bamboo basket creaked.
"Little sister, who are you talking to?"
The voice of the eldest brother sounded behind him, Shen Zhi pushed Qu Bowen, hurriedly closed the door, and dropped the deadbolt.
"I saw that the courtyard door was not closed, come and close the door, hasn't the eldest brother slept yet?" Shen Zhi walked inside.
"It's time to go to bed, and you should go to bed early."
"Well, good night, big brother."
Shen Zhi ran back to the house, took off his shoes and went to bed, Xu was too tired from being frightened today, and fell asleep after lying on the bed for a while.
Family.
Gu Yu was about to fall asleep lying on the bed, the eldest brother hadn't come back yet, he was a little worried, the eldest brother wouldn't be bullied by that bad woman, Gu Yu was instantly sleepy, got off the bed and put on his shoes and walked to the yard.
Bumped into Gu Chen who came back head-on, Gu Yu screamed in pain, and raised his eyes to see that the eldest brother was back.
"Big brother, why are you only coming back now? That bad woman scolded you again? Gu Yu followed behind the eldest brother.
"Didn't you send this basket back?" Gu Yu was puzzled, the eldest brother has been out for so long, and the basket has not been given to others?
Gu Chen put the basket on the table, took off his shoes and went to bed.
Seeing that the eldest brother didn't say a word, Gu Yu also climbed into bed.
I was even more sure that the bad woman must have scolded the eldest brother, what is the use of being good-looking, her heart and eyes are so bad that she is going to die, and she pretends to send things, for fear that the eldest brother will rely on her.
It's not uncommon for him to be his sister-in-law, if he really becomes his sister-in-law, he won't have to beat him every day.
Shen Zhi didn't know that his conversation with Qu Bowen had been listened to by Gu Chen, and he was sleeping deeply at the moment.
