Chen Lishu said a few words to Lin Xiaoyue, and her eyes fell on Wei Xiaoya who was next to Wang Yufen. The little girl didn't look like her mother, but she looked like her father. As soon as Chen Lishu's eyes met Chen Lishu's big, timid eyes, she immediately looked towards her mother.
He shrank behind him.
Seeing her shy little appearance, Chen Lishu suddenly became curious. She got up and went to the bedroom to take out the toffee she had bought to prevent motion sickness. She came closer and squatted in front of Wei Xiaoya and said warmly: "Auntie, there is candy here, Xiaoya, do you want it?"
eat?"
Wei Xiaoya was a little afraid of her approach, and immediately grabbed Wang Yufen's clothes and shrank back.
Wang Yufen's eyes widened when she saw the toffee in Chen Lishu's hand. She didn't care about Wei Xiaoya's dodge, turned around, grabbed her out, and pushed her in front of Chen Lishu: "Aunt Gu is giving you candy, but the toffee family can't afford it.
Why don't you take it quickly?"
Although she spoke softly, Chen Lishu and Lin Xiaoyue subconsciously frowned when they heard her.
Wei Xiaoya was suddenly pushed over and was so frightened that she burst into tears. Chen Lishu's smile froze when she saw that the child was crying because of a few pieces of candy.
"The child is a bit naive, which makes his siblings laugh." Wang Yufen said embarrassedly.
"It's normal for children to recognize birth. It will be fine when they get used to it later." Chen Lishu said and handed the candy in her hand to Wang Yufen: "Sister-in-law, give it to Xiaoya."
"Hey." Wang Yufen immediately took it happily, opened one and stuffed it into Xiaoya's mouth, and put the others into her pocket.
The little girl chewed her lips twice after getting the candy, and then she gradually stopped crying.
"Lishu, what do you want to do? Let me help you do it." Seeing that Xiaoya stopped crying, Lin Xiaoyue said to Chen Lishu with a smile.
"How about you help me wash the vegetables and I'll cut the mutton."
At this time, there were no ready-made mutton rolls like later, so I had to buy the mutton and cut it myself.
"Let me do it for you too." As soon as Wang Yufen stood up, Xiaoya immediately grabbed her clothes and pouted, wanting to cry. Wang Yufen looked up at the two of them in embarrassment.
"It won't take long to finish. Sister-in-law, you can take care of Xiaoya in the house." Chen Lishu said with a smile.
Wang Yufen had no choice but to nod and sit down again.
Chen Lishu and Lin Xiaoyue entered the kitchen. Chen Lishu took out a basin, filled it with water, and poured some hot water into it. It was already early November, the weather turned cold, and the water was a bit icy. Chen Lishu didn't let it go until it was turned into warm water.
Lin Xiaoyue washes vegetables.
Lin Xiaoyue washed the vegetables and Chen Lishu cut the meat. There were many people coming to eat in the evening. Chen Lishu bought five kilograms of mutton. Just cutting them all into pieces was a big project. The two of them had been busy for a long time before finally putting everything together.
Get ready.
…
In the evening, when the sky turned dark, a car slowly drove into the camp area and soon stopped downstairs in the military area. Zhao Jing walked out of it and spoke a few words to her father's orderly before carrying the things in her hands upstairs.
.
"You're back just in time. Lao Gu's family is inviting you to dinner today and make hot pot. Come with me."
Zhou Liang had just finished washing up in the bathroom and said happily when he saw Zhao Jing coming back.
Zhao Jing's delicate brows frowned subconsciously when she heard she was eating hot pot: "What's so delicious about hot pot? It's unhygienic for so many people to stick their chopsticks in. I'm not used to eating other people's saliva."
Zhou Liang's expression changed when he heard her words, and then he tried to persuade her: "You don't have to eat it if you're not used to it. We've all agreed to bring your family members there. Why don't you come with me and sit there."
Zhao Jing was a little impatient: "Last time I went to Wu's house, I said we were going to sit down, but it turned out what time it was before we got back. I have rehearsals tomorrow, so you can go by yourself."
Zhou Liang said with a smile, "I was wrong that time and forgot the time. Besides, what are you going to eat at night if you don't go? It's already past dinner time in the cafeteria. Lao Gu's wife shouldn't have just prepared hot pot. Why don't you go and eat it?"
Order something else.”
Zhao Jing opened the paper bag in her hand and took out a delicate box that was not much bigger than a palm: "My friend just gave me a Western pastry, so I will just eat this."
Zhou Liang opened his mouth and saw that she had already opened the box, picked up a fork and started eating by herself. Knowing that it was useless to say anything, he had no choice but to nod and go out.
When he went downstairs, he happened to meet Wu Zheng who also opened the door. Wu Zheng glanced behind him and wondered: "Hey, I just saw your wife coming back in the car, why didn't she come down with you?"
Zhou Liang's expression froze, and then he smiled and said: "She's not feeling well, and she has to rehearse tomorrow. I'm afraid there will be too many people making noise, so I let her have a good rest at home."
Wu Zheng nodded, and the two of them went downstairs and walked towards the Gu family opposite.
People arrived one after another, and the small living room was packed with people. Wei Gang's family of three, Wu Zheng and his wife, Zhou Liang and Li Weimin, plus Gu Xingdong and Chen Lishu, there were nine people in total.
At this moment, the large round table bought by Chen Lishu came in handy, and everyone gathered around the table.
Chen Lishu not only prepared hot pot, but also specially steamed rice and fried four vegetables and a cold dish.
Everyone chatted while eating and enjoyed the meal.
After sending the person away, Chen Lishu walked to the table and started to pack things, but Gu Xingdong pushed her down on the stool: "You have been tired for a day, sit down and rest for a while, I will pack these things."
Sitting down, Chen Lishu asked a little worriedly: "Are you okay?"
"Okay? Can you remove it for me?"
Gu Xingdong, whose ability was doubted, glanced at her displeasedly: "If your man can hold a spear, I can naturally clean up the kitchen." As he said this, he started to roll up his shirt sleeves and clean up the mess on the table.
He quickly cleared the table and returned the table and stools to their original positions. Then he rolled up his sleeves and stood next to the sink to wash the dishes carefully.
Chen Lishu looked at his tall and straight figure, with the dim light shining on his shoulders. Gu Xingdong stood with his back to the light, his handsome features and eyes deeper.
Keenly aware of Chen Lishu's gaze, Gu Xingdong tilted his head and said in a deep voice with a smile, "Why are you looking at me like that? I will understand that I am beautiful and delicious."
Chen Lishu: "..."
Gu Xingdong was not obsessed with her answer, because her eyes had already said everything.
After washing the dishes, seeing that it was getting late and Gu Xingdong had to get up early tomorrow, the two of them simply washed up and then turned off the lights and went to sleep.
The next day, as the wake-up call sounded, Gu Xingdong started to get up and get dressed. His leg injury has basically recovered, and he will officially return to the team starting today.
Because he had been away for a long time, Gu Xingdong was busy as a top on the first day. Chen Lishu made a simple breakfast by herself after getting up. After breakfast, she left the camp and went to the city.
Seeing that she was about to go home, she planned to go to the Yimin Store in the city to find Jiang Weiguo to see if there were any exported clothes for sale.
After taking the bus all the way to the commercial street, Chen Lishu got off the bus and went directly to the second floor of Yimin Store. After knocking on the door twice, Jiang Weiguo's voice came from inside: "Please come in."
