Chen Lishu smiled: "Believe me, if I sell it at the train station, someone will buy it for two cents a pound."
Two...two cents a pound? Zhao Guiying was stunned. If someone else had said this, she would have thought they were trying to trick her. But Chen Lishu is a college student, so what she said could be false? Absolutely not.
"Okay, sister, I'll go back and discuss it with my family. It happens that the elder two will be at home on vacation tomorrow, so the two brothers can take care of the younger one. I'll take a trip when I have time."
…
Jiang Yuning raised his hand and glanced at the watch on his wrist, said hello to the colleague opposite him, picked up his bag and hurried out of the infirmary door.
Today is the weekend. Gu Xingdong knows that if nothing happens, Chen Lishu and his wife will definitely come back. Thinking about this, he can't help but speed up his pace.
As soon as I arrived at the stairs, I bumped into Wu Zheng, who was striding up from downstairs.
"Lao Gu, please wait for me for a while. I'll put something away and we can go back together."
Gu Xingdong frowned: "Hurry up."
"I know." Wu Zheng responded, and couldn't help but move up the stairs a little faster.
He was also anxious to go home. Lin Xiaoyue was the only one at home, and she was pregnant and had to take Wu Yan with her. The boy was so naughty that he had a headache.
Soon Wu Zheng came down from upstairs, and the two of them walked to the military area together.
"Battle Commander Gu."
Seeing the person approaching, Jiang Yuning unconsciously adjusted her hair and pulled the hems of her clothes on both sides before calling the person to a stop with a smile.
"Eh? Dr. Jiang, are you going out so late?" Wu Zheng looked at her clothes, and she seemed to be wearing lipstick, and couldn't help asking curiously.
"It's getting late. If there's nothing urgent, it's best not to go out. There are no people around us and it's not safe."
Jiang Yuning's face turned red when Wu Zheng said that, and a hint of embarrassment flashed in his eyes unconsciously.
She didn't want to go out at all, she just wanted to wait for Gu Xingdong to come over, but it was impossible to tell outsiders about such extremely obscure thoughts.
Gu Xingdong looked at Wu Zheng, who was stunned and green, and for the first time felt that it was good to have no bones.
"I know you usually eat in the cafeteria. This is a soup I made specially. Chinese medicine is added to it to clear away heat and relieve irritation. It tastes good. You can take it back."
Gu Xingdong looked at the lunch box she handed over and did not accept it.
Jiang Yuning was a little embarrassed, but it was quickly covered up by a smile: "We were colleagues before, right? Besides, you saved my brother-in-law and nephew last time..."
Gu Xingdong frowned almost invisible, interrupted impatiently, and looked at Jiang Yuning with a hint: "Since it is to clear away heat and relieve irritability, you should keep this soup for drinking."
Wu Zheng knew Gu Xingdong's temper very well. He was not a show of sympathy. If he said something harsh, it would be difficult for everyone to meet him in the future.
"Doctor Jiang, you don't know yet, old daughter-in-law Gu's cooking skills." Wu Zheng put his hand on Gu Xingdong's shoulder and gave Jiang Yuning a thumbs up: "You usually live in a dormitory and your conditions are limited. Do you have delicious food?
Keep it for yourself and eat it.”
Jiang Yuning pursed her lips tightly, then quickly raised her head as if nothing had happened, looked at Wu Zheng and said with a smile: "I just do a bit too much, if you don't mind it..."
"Look at what you said, why would I dislike it? It's just that I ate a little too much at lunch and I can't eat anything now."
Wu Zheng touched his belly, pulled Gu Xingdong and left: "My wife is pregnant with the child and is hungry. I have to go back to cook for her. So, Dr. Jiang, Lao Gu and I will leave first."
Just kidding, if I take this back, if my wife asks about it and I have to explain it, it’s better to avoid suspicion.
Jiang Yuning looked at the two people's backs as if they were running away, as if her lunch box was poisonous, and she was so angry that she wanted to throw the lunch box in her hand away.
Wu Zheng and Gu Xingdong walked back all the way. Halfway through, Wu Zheng couldn't help but said: "Doctor Jiang is a girl after all. Giving soup may be a kind gesture. Why are you so cruel to her?"
Gu Xingdong glanced at him and said expressionlessly: "You can be more cruel."
Wu Zheng: "..." You are cruel.
Because she bought fish from the villagers, Chen Lishu made fish and tofu soup for dinner, as well as spicy and sour potato shreds and stir-fried meat with vegetables.
In addition, she also steamed some snacks for Rui Rui with sugar and confectioners. The little guy has been watching eagerly since the food came out of the pot.
"You have to eat this after dinner." Chen Lishu warned.
Ruirui nodded and swallowed secretly: "Mom, I know, I won't eat it, just look at it."
"What are you looking at?" Gu Xingdong smelled the aroma of food as soon as he entered the house. Hearing Rui Rui's words, he quickly changed his shoes and entered the house.
"Dad?" Ruirui quickly turned to him and pointed to the plate of candies on the table: "Mom made it with sugar. It's delicious."
"Really?" Gu Xingdong was amused and stepped forward to touch his little head: "Have you already eaten?"
Ruirui shook his head: "I didn't eat it, but I knew it must be delicious after looking at it."
Chen Lishu came out with the rice. She couldn't help laughing when she heard what he said as a child, and said to Gu Xingdong: "Go and wash your hands and eat."
"As commanded."
Soon the family of three sat at the table and began to eat, and the 'big king' finally got his wish, guarding his rice bowl and carefully tasting the small fish.
After dinner, Gu Xingdong took the initiative to wash the dishes: "You don't wash the dishes when you cook. This is our family rule."
When Ruirui heard this, he quickly got down from the stool: "Dad, I didn't cook either. I'll wash the dishes with you."
"You don't have to." Gu Xingdong refused: "You are still young, just be responsible for the food. This is called a different division of labor."
"Oh." Ruirui nodded in understanding.
…
After Wang Jianshe returned home, Zhao Guiying told him Chen Lishu's proposal: "The child's father, what do you think?"
"Did my siblings bring this up?"
Seeing Zhao Guiying nodding, Wang Jianshe said: "My sister-in-law is a college student with a lot of experience. What she said is definitely right. Why don't you go and try it tomorrow."
With Wang Jianshe's words, Zhao Guiying got up early the next day, put the food in a pot for the children to heat after cleaning up, and then went to a nearby villager's home.
The first time she didn't dare to buy too much, she only bought nearly twenty kilograms for one yuan, packed it in a snakeskin bag and took the bus to the city.
Because he rarely came to the market, Zhao Guiying was afraid that he would get lost, so he did not dare to walk far after getting off the car. When he saw a stall selling green onions not far away, he hesitated and went over, placing the snakeskin bag next to the stall.
It didn't take long for someone to come over and ask curiously: "Comrade, what are you selling?"
"Shaguo." Zhao Guiying hurriedly opened the mouth of the bag wider and even picked up one for the other party to taste: "It's only a dime a pound, you try it, it's sweet."
The other party took it and took a bite. It was okay and not sour, and it only cost a dime a pound. It was just a snack for the child: "Give me two pounds."
Two kilograms were sold at once. Zhao Guiying reacted and hurriedly weighed the person.
…
When Chen Lishu woke up, Gu Xingdong had already left. After the couple had packed up and had a quick bite, she took Ruirui back to the city.
When she arrived at the bus stop, there was already a girl standing there waiting for the bus. Chen Lishu looked familiar to her, but couldn't remember where she had seen her before.
