The 1970s Educated Youth

Chapter 142

◎Watermelon Head◎

After entering the city, the group went to the bookstore first.

The bookstores in Yangshi are not big, and naturally there are not many books. Gu Guanning had been here several times before to buy teaching aids and reference books. The dictionary she and Xiao Mingyue used was bought here.

After going around in a circle, Gu Guanning couldn't find any reading books suitable for his apprentice's age. There were very few foreign language reading books, and there were no fables or fairy tales at all.

Thinking about it again, this is quite realistic.

In the end, I only picked two comic books and left the bookstore. I saw that it was still very early, so I went to the department store again. Gu Guanning hadn't been here for a while. He weighed two kilograms of snacks, bought a can of cream and two bottles of canned fruit.

When he came out, Xie Xiaochen also brought a lot of things, "Yueyue slept with me yesterday, and suddenly woke me up in the middle of the night and said I was hungry. Fortunately, there was a leftover steamed bun, so I dipped it in egg liquid and fried her a plate of steamed bun slices. Have you finished eating them all?"

His tone was full of disbelief. He obviously ate a lot for dinner last night, and when he got up in the middle of the night, the meal was more than the child usually eats.

"Does she always eat like this at your place?"

Gu Guanning said carefully, "It's not so much at the beginning. I think it's because my uncle's cooking is so delicious."

On the way to the state-owned restaurant, she told Xiao Mingyue these days I told my cousin about the itinerary and food quality.

Xie Xiaochen was silent for a long time after listening.

It wasn't until they entered the private room at the hotel and everyone sat down around the table that she explained Gu Guanning's confusion for the past few days: "Breakfast is either meatloaf or ham and eggs, ribs for lunch, and meatballs for dinner. I want to eat so good. I moved to your house."

"Don't you eat like this at home?" Gu Guanning still thinks it's not good enough. When she was a child, she drank fresh milk and ate big chicken drumsticks every day. When she got tired of eating, she would change to the same food.

At that time, she was so blessed that she didn't know how to be blessed. She felt that milk was fishy and unpalatable, and pigs, sheep, cows, chickens, fish and shrimps were all the same.

Aunt Meng laughed and said: "We eat like this, just not every day. Yueyue, Mom and Dad and the two of us are busy, so we only eat the serious meal in the morning. At noon and evening, the children eat in the cafeteria with the adults. They only eat well during the holidays. Let's make a meal."

"After hearing what you said, Xiaowan, I thought I could learn how to fry a pot of meatballs and stew the ribs, and heat up two or three pieces at a time. It won't be a hassle and I can let the kids eat more."

Xie Xiaochen nodded aside and handed Gu Guanning a cup of tea. "I've been busy lately. I didn't finish the fried balls before. In two days, Yueyue's father will come back and ask him to fry another pot."

The clear soup base of the hot pot is gurgling. The gud begins to bubble, and vegetables, fish balls and meat slices are added to the pot one after another.

Xie Xiaochen suddenly sighed, "I didn't expect you to be quite good at raising children."

Gu Guanning stared at the tumbling pieces of meat. Hearing this, he turned to point at himself, "Cousin, are you talking about me?"
