Seventy Buddha Cannon Fodder

Chapter 244

With the spirit of not wasting, Lin Lu drank it all in one gulp: "It's not very tasty."

Gu Mingxi smiled and said, "Of course it's not good to drink. This is used as medicine, not canned yellow peaches."

Speaking of canned yellow peaches, Lin Lu began to salivate: "Xiaoxi, do you still have canned yellow peaches?"

"It's long gone, I've eaten it all up." The canned food is too heavy, and the sisters Gu Mingxi would never take the initiative to ask her elder brother to mail it, except for the early adopters. After all, the wrongful money spent on the road is too expensive.

Lin Lu sighed and said, "Hey, the canned yellow peaches made by our eldest brother are the best after eating. The ones sold outside don't taste right."

"That's because my family has good materials, and I'm willing to use good materials." Gu Mingxi laughed.

"Yuyu, drink it too, taste it."

Zheng Yuyu took a sip from the bowl, she didn't think it was bad, but said, "Taste carefully, it tastes pretty good."

Seeing that they were almost drunk, Gu Mingxi took out a thermos, dug a few tablespoons of loquat cream into it, and washed it with hot water: "I'll send some to Xiaobei."

"Go, let's clean up here." Lin Lu said with a smile.

As soon as they left, Lin Lu couldn't help but said, "Hey, I really envy Xiaoxi Xiaobei for having such a good brother."

Zheng Yuyu was still drinking in small sips, and said with a smile: "Then I still envy you for having good parents."

Lin Lu realized that she had said the wrong thing, and quickly explained: "Yuyu, I don't mean anything else."

"I know, we have lived together for several years, I still don't know what you mean." Zheng Yuyu really didn't take it to heart.

After drinking the loquat cream, she felt that her throat was much more comfortable, and said with a smile, "I can't help being envious. I have my own life, and I will work hard."

Lin Lu hugged her with a smile: "Let's work together to become useful pillars for the country."

Winter in Beijing is always very cold. It’s okay inside the house, but the north wind outside the house scratches the skin.

Before going out, Gu Mingxi put on a hat, a scarf, and the last big padded jacket. The road was covered with thick snow, and Gu Mingxi had to move forward step by step.

The original 10-minute journey took her half an hour to get there.

Gu Mingbei opened the door and saw that his sister's eyelashes were covered with frost, and hurriedly pulled her in: "Third sister, why are you here in such a cold day?"

After removing the scarf and hat, Gu Mingxi felt that he could speak smoothly: "Brother sent me loquat cream, don't you have a sore throat, I'll send you some."

Gu Mingbei was both moved and helpless: "That's not worth sending it here now, I can drink it when I go back at night."

"Anyway, I'll be fine if I stay." Gu Mingxi handed her the thermos.

At this time, the people in the back room heard the movement and greeted: "Xiaobei, let your sister come in and take a breather."

As a student, Gu Mingbei is helping here today as an assistant. They are all professors in the school. Now they are translating foreign books. Because Gu Mingbei has good grades and good English, he is qualified to be an assistant .

Since they are all teachers and professors in the same school, they all recognize Gu Mingxi.

Gu Mingxi was not afraid, walked in and greeted him generously, and said with a smile: "It happens that all the teachers are here, this is the loquat tree planted by my family, and my elder brother picks the loquat cream he made by himself. Lung, phlegm and cough, it is best to drink in winter, teachers should try it.”

Sitting at the far end was Wu Wei, who couldn't help laughing and said at the moment: "A Dong made it himself, so I have to try his handicraft."

"A Dong is the eldest brother of these two children. When I was sent down, it was thanks to his care that I didn't suffer."

The professors next to me had suffered a lot, and after hearing this, they felt a little more kindness in their hearts.

The sisters of the Gu family were already agile and poured loquat cream on the tea mugs of the teachers.

Wu Wei took a big sip and couldn't help boasting: "It tastes right, better than the ones from the pharmacy outside."

The rest of the professors also praised politely. I don't know if it was an illusion. After taking this loquat cream, the throat that was dry and uncomfortable was indeed much better, and there was also a cool feeling.

Gu Mingxi smiled and said, "Brother is also thinking about Teacher Wu. He sent a lot of loquat cream, so he specially asked me to send some to you at that time."

Wu Wei knew that this was a polite word, but he still smiled and said, "Thank you then, I remember that your elder brother likes to eat shortbread, and I happen to have some at home, so I can do you a favor and send it back."

"Okay, then I will thank Mr. Wu on behalf of elder brother." Gu Mingxi smiled.

After talking for a while, the loquat paste soup in the thermos was almost drunk, Gu Mingxi got up and said: "Teachers, you are all busy, I will go back first."

"Xiao Bei, send your sister off."

As soon as the two sisters left, someone asked, "Old Wu, do you have a good relationship with them?"

Wu Wei only said: "Thanks to their family's care, it was a life-saving grace."

"No wonder they are all delegated, but you seem to be in good spirits." A professor joked.

"Actually, Gu Mingbei has a quick brain and solid knowledge. The most rare thing is that he can sit still without spending so much time. If you ask me, staying in school is not bad."

Gu Mingbei sent Gu Mingxi out, and couldn't help laughing before he went out.

"Third sister, I figured it out. You are here to give me loquat cream, and you are here to help me build relationships."

Gu Mingxi glared at her, and said in a low voice: "You don't know, the places to stay in school are very precious. There are many people fighting for it, and some of them have a lot of connections. We have no power or influence, so we must not establish a good relationship with the teachers. .”

However, Gu Mingbei said: "If I have the ability, I can naturally stay. If I don't have the ability to win the relationship, it's useless."

"A good relationship is better than a bad relationship." Gu Mingxi poked his sister's forehead, "You, it's just that your life is going so smoothly, you don't know the dangers in the world."

Gu Mingbei touched his forehead and muttered, "How could I not know."

She reached out and took her sister's hand: "Third sister, don't worry about me, I know what to do, but you, you have to run around when you are assigned, or you will be assigned a job that you don't like. Some took it."

Gu Mingxi smiled and said: "You are still worried that I am here, don't worry, it is a Qingshui Yamen, and no one will grab it from me at all. I offered to go, and the teacher in charge of the assignment may thank me."

"Then go back quickly, don't forget your hat and scarf." Gu Mingbei shouted.

Gu Mingxi was dressed tightly again before going out. As soon as she went out, the cold wind blew over and almost knocked her down.

"Sister, are you alright?"

"It's okay, you can go back."

Gu Mingbei watched her go away, and then closed the door.

Two days later, Gu Mingxi really asked Gu Mingbei to deliver the loquat paste to Wu Wei's house.

It was Wu Xuanxuan who opened the door. Now she is in better health and has slowly started to attend classes.

This time, Gu Mingxi still had something to do, so he put down his things and left without staying.

Wu Xuanxuan took the bottle and entered the door: "Xiao Bei said she still has something to do, so she won't come in and sit down."

Zhou Zijin was ironing the clothes, and when he heard this, he said, "You don't want to keep her any longer, it's rare to come here."

"Mom, if Xiao Bei said something was wrong, it must be something wrong. Why did I keep him, but she took the shortbread." Wu Xuanxuan said.

Zhou Zijin put down the iron, and said helplessly, "You, Xiao Bei is being polite, he doesn't know anything about the world."

But Wu Xuanxuan said: "Mom, you think too much, Xiao Bei and I won't be polite."

As she spoke, she opened the can and smelled it. There was a strong smell, which made her sigh, "It's quite fragrant."

"Then you drink a bowl, don't you have a sore throat recently?"

Wu Xuanxuan went over to brew two bowls, and while drinking, she said with a smile: "When I was in Shanghe Village, I wanted to leave there day and night, but now I am in Beijing, but I am not used to it. Winter always Easy to get angry, always feel dry."

"The south is humid, but it's also cold." Zhou Zijin took a sip and said with a smile, "I like it better here. It's a bit dry, but at least it's not cold."

The mother and daughter finished drinking a bowl of loquat cream facing each other, and Zhou Zijin couldn't help but said, "No wonder your dad said yes, it's really full of flavor, and my throat feels much more comfortable after drinking it."

"That's right, Xiaobei agreed, and it's definitely not bad." Wu Xuanxuan laughed.

Zhou Zijin smiled and said, "You, you are like a sister."

"Although they're not real sisters, in my heart, Xiaobei is more than a real sister."

Zhou Zijin thought of her own daughter's sister, but it would be better if she didn't have one. She asked casually, "I only heard that you often mentioned Xiaobei. Why haven't you mentioned love flowers recently?"

Wu Xuanxuan sighed: "Aihua is very busy after graduation, so she writes less letters. In fact, I am also very worried about her."

Saying this, Wu Xuanxuan leaned into Zhou Zijin's arms: "Xiaobei has brothers and sisters, I have parents, but the cute flower has nothing. I know she has been holding back her heart to live a good life, but always Worrying about her wearing herself out."

Zhou Zijin smiled slightly, stroked her daughter's hair and said, "A person has his own destiny, and it's a good thing for her to have a heart. Sooner or later, she will be able to live the life she wants."

"I hope so." Wu Xuanxuan said again, "Fortunately, Xiaozhu is a good boy, with him around, Aihua can relax."

Zhou Zijin nodded her daughter's forehead: "You know how to worry about others, and you should worry about yourself too quickly. What do you want to do after graduation in two years? And you have to find a good family, right?"

"I think it's good for your father to have a student. He's good-looking, and he's also gentle and sensible. It's just that his home is a bit far away, but it's okay. He will definitely be assigned to Beijing."

When Wu Xuanxuan heard this topic again, she couldn't help making a bitter face: "Mom, why are you bringing this up again?"

"Look at Brother Adong, he never urges Xiaoxi and Xiaobei. Xiaoxi is much older than me. She is not married either."

But Zhou Zijin said: "You also know that Xiaoxi is getting old, she is almost thirty, but she has not been urged inside and no one cares about her, so she has been delayed to this age. If you wait like this, how can there be any good people."

Wu Xuanxuan covered her ears: "If I don't listen, I won't listen. You are also a high-level intellectual, but your ideological awareness is not as good as Brother Adong."

Zhou Zijin said helplessly: "I'm doing it for your own good. Women always want to marry. Only when they are young can they find a good man."

"Then you talk to Dad, Dad will definitely not agree to my early marriage." Wu Xuanxuan snorted.

Zhou Zijin also knew that her husband was pampering her daughter, so she said helplessly, "All right, just procrastinate. I'll see how long you procrastinate. At worst, let your father raise you for the rest of your life. Anyway, he is your own father, so I can't dislike you."

Wu Xuanxuan smiled and hugged her: "You are also a real mother, so don't dislike me."

Zhou Zijin had nothing to do with his coquettish daughter, and thought that she had suffered a lot with him, and he was actually reluctant to force her: "By the way, did you tell Xiaobei about that?"

Wu Xuanxuan said, "I forgot."

Zhou Zijin poked her forehead: "Tell me, why did you forget the most important thing."
