Ruirui only had half a day of classes that day. She had agreed with Zhao Qiuyue early in the morning that Chen Lishu would go directly to Ruirui's school after class.
"Is it cold?" Seeing him coming over, Chen Lishu touched his red cheeks.
Ruirui shook his head: "It's not cold. The hat Aunt Xiaoyue knitted for me is very warm."
Zhao Qiuyue was very clever, and the hat she knitted for Rui Rui was a bit like the later windproof hat, but it was a pullover, so it could directly protect the neck and mouth without wearing a scarf.
Chen Lishu nodded and wanted to pick up the schoolbag on his back, but Ruirui refused.
The couple walked all the way home. When they reached the gate of the community, Ruirui suddenly pointed at the military green car downstairs and said happily: "Mom, dad is here."
Chen Lishu also saw it and guessed that Gu Xingdong came at this time and was resting today.
The two of them walked a little faster without realizing it. When they went upstairs and opened the door, they saw Gu Xingdong sitting by the coffee table, lowering his head and fiddling with something. The 'big king' who was used to being wild rarely went out and was hiding his hands in his hands at the moment.
He laid his head next to Gu Xingdong and snored.
"Dad." Ruirui changed her shoes and went to Gu Xingdong's side without putting down her schoolbag.
Gu Xingdong looked up at him and asked with a smile: "Why are you out of school so early?"
"We only have half a day of classes today."
Chen Lishu went to put her coat in the room and asked casually: "Is it your day off today?"
Gu Xingdong nodded: "Yes."
As she got closer, she realized that what Gu Xingdong was holding was the radio she had broken two days ago. At this moment, the casing had been removed, exposing various circuits inside.
"My brother-in-law brought half a bag of cabbage and potatoes. The gas tank happened to be low on gas, so he replaced it with a new one." Zhao Qiuyue came out of the kitchen when she heard the sound and said to Chen Lishu.
Gu Xingdong: "Old Wu and the others took the time to go to the village to buy some. I asked them to bring some too. It just happened to be delivered at once to save you from having to fight upstairs and downstairs."
Chen Lishu nodded, changed her clothes and came out and sat down next to him: "Can this be repaired?"
She had done it herself before, and there was still sound at first, but then she became completely mute.
"It shouldn't be a big problem." Gu Xingdong replied, his eyes falling on the radio and checking carefully one by one.
When he is doing something, he looks very focused. His fingers are long and slender, and the joints are moderate. They are not thick and abrupt, nor are they thin and boneless. It seems that no matter what passes through these hands, it will be handled in the most appropriate manner.
Until he noticed something strange, Gu Xingdong changed his sitting position slightly, grabbed the tools on the side and started tinkering. Not long after, as he pressed the switch, there was sound again.
Gu Xingdong inadvertently raised his head, caught Chen Lishu's gaze, and gave her a questioning look.
Chen Lishu couldn't help but joked: "I just realized that you are really an all-rounder and can even repair radios. If you retire in the future, can we open a repair department?"
Gu Xingdong quickly installed the removed shell, looked at her sideways and said with a half-smile, "Actually, I'm best at repairing people."
Chen Lishu's face turned red, she quickly glanced in the direction of the kitchen and said angrily: "There are still people here, please be careful what you say."
Gu Xingdong teased: "I'm talking about my soldiers, what are you thinking?"
Chen Lishu was speechless and could only reach out and pinch him secretly where no one else could see.
Gu Xingdong immediately made an exaggerated expression and said with his lips: "You will wait for the evening."
Not to be outdone, Chen Lishu fought back: "Just wait, as if I'm afraid of you."
The reason why she felt confident was that she dared to conclude that Zhao Qiuyue was still here, and even if Gu Xingdong had treacherous intentions, he would not have the courage to do so. If she were at home, Chen Lishu would definitely keep her mouth shut.
Gu Xingdong leaned lazily on the backrest behind him: "It's okay, I'll keep it in mind for you. Let's calculate the general ledger together."
Chen Lishu choked and immediately apologized in a good manner: "Is it okay if I say now that I know I was wrong?"
Gu Xingdong raised his eyebrows: "What do you think?"
Chen Lishu said obediently: "How about making something delicious?"
Gu Xingdong reluctantly said: "You can think about it."
The weather is cold, which is more suitable for eating cakes and soup, so for dinner, Chen Lishu and Zhao Qiuyue baked pancakes together and made tofu meatball casserole. The family sat together and ate the steaming casserole. Rui Rui's face turned red and her forehead was red.
They were all sweating a little.
Gu Xingdong stayed one night and left early the next morning.
Gu Xingye came over at noon, and the money from the provincial construction project finally arrived. After deducting the money for equipment, the total amount was more than 76,000, which is not a penny.
There was no class in the afternoon, so Chen Lishu went with him to the newly built vegetable market to look at the shops.
Because the news was released not long ago, except for a few small traders and self-employed people who came to rent a shop after hearing the news, Chen Lishu and others were among the few who wanted to buy a shop, so the staff were very enthusiastic.
Chen Lishu chose a shop with an area of more than 20 square meters on the second floor near the staircase. Gu Xingye only chose a 10-square-meter space on the first floor because of limited funds.
You have to pay the deposit first, and the property rights will be processed together after a period of time.
Seeing that everything was almost done, he said hello to Chen Lishu, and Gu Xingye bought a ticket for the next morning and went home.
At the end of December, after Chen Lishu took the final exam, the school was about to have a holiday, so Chen Lishu decided to go to Yangcheng.
In the past six months, she had been in constant contact with Li Yuanchao for ordering clothes. She knew that the clothing industry in the south was developing rapidly, so she wanted to go and have a look in person and buy a batch of spring clothes in advance.
"Mom is going to go south in two days. Are you here with Aunt Xiaoyue or are you going home with dad?"
Ruirui had just finished his final exam, and Chen Lishu started asking for his opinion.
Zhao Qiuyue would definitely take more care of him in life in the city, but when he returned to the military area, besides Gu Xingdong, he would also have friends like the Wang brothers, so Ruirui chose to return to the military area without hesitation.
Chen Lishu helped him pack up all the changes of clothes, as well as his schoolbag and homework. Looking at the posture of the two of them, the 'big king' raised his little head and looked at it eagerly. Finally, he felt that something was wrong and started to surround Chen Lishu.
He would spin his feet in circles, and occasionally make two long-pitched calls as he walked.
"Mom, why don't you take the king with you, I will take good care of him." Ruirui held him in his arms and begged to help.
Seeing the pitiful appearance of one person and one cat, Chen Lishu couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, then take it with you."
When he went out, he was afraid that the big cat would run away, so Ruirui kept holding it in his arms with all his heart. It looked a bit funny for a small little man dragging a big fat cat.
After saying hello to Zhao Qiuyue, the couple went downstairs to get in the car.
After staying at home for two days, Chen Lishu was ready to leave.
