I'm going to conquer the whole village!
This kid is none other than Chen Wu, the son of Little Aunt's family, two years younger than Gu Xiang. Because the two people are similar in age, they grew up playing together since childhood, and almost never called her "sister".
Gu's mother quickly fanned him a couple of times: "Xiao Wu, what are you running for? You're all sweaty."
Chen Wu smiled and ran back with a puff of smoke.
"Your aunt is calling you, why don't you go?" said Gu's mother, pushing Gu Xiang.
Gu Xiang followed to her uncle's store. Their storefront was not as good as her mother's, but they had bought two stores themselves and connected them in the middle, making it a very large store.
Chen Wu has already sat down and started eating. Moreover, he is not the only one there, there is also a nephew of his aunt, named Lü Huawei. Lü Huawei is one year older than Gu Xiang.
They were eating a big round ice cream cone from Wall's, which was still quite rare at the time and cost over 20 cents. When Gu Xiang arrived, Auntie went to wash a spoon and handed it to her.
Gu Xiang didn't really want to eat the two and a half size popsicles, so she took them over and said: "Auntie, I just ate two Kit Kats this afternoon, my mom won't let me have any more cold things."
Auntie pushed her forward and said: "Eat two more mouthfuls, it doesn't matter."
Gu Xiang glanced over and saw that they had just started eating, with a small area still untouched. She quickly picked up her spoon and scooped out a large block.
Just then a customer came into the store, and Auntie went to talk to them.
Gu Xiang took the spoon handle and patted Chen Wu: "I'm going back."
Chen Wu vaguely said "I know", and continued to lower his head and eat bitterly.
Gu Xiang's feelings towards her younger uncle's family are quite subtle. When she was young, the two families lived very close to each other and would share anything good they had. However, after something happened at home, her younger uncle's family didn't contribute a single penny.
Not to mention that later Gu Xiang didn't have money to attend university, and he plucked up the courage to go to their home to borrow money, but also returned empty-handed.
From Gu Xiang's perspective as an adult now, that means saying one thing and doing another, wanting to maintain a good relationship with relatives while not hurting oneself in the slightest.
After returning from her aunt's place, Gu Xiang felt a little hungry.
It's only 4:30... - Is it really true that fat people get hungry more easily?
Just after eating a lot of calories, she said that this heat is her heat for three or four days when she was modeling.
Gu's mother habitually went to heat up the meal.
It's really hot today, so Gu Xiang said: "Mom, just heat up the loofah and egg soup. Don't heat up the rice or other dishes. It's so hot outside, having hot soup with cold rice is just right."
Two people, three dishes. Sweet and sour pork ribs, fish-flavored shredded meat, and a silky egg drop soup with plenty of meatballs.
Gu Xiang suddenly somewhat understood why she had suddenly gained weight during puberty...
After dinner, Gu Xiang went home first, and Mrs. Gu continued to stay in the store. As usual, the mall closed after 7 o'clock.
Their home is quite far from the mall, and it takes Gu Xiang about twenty minutes to walk back.
There aren't many cars on the road now, so Mom is also quite at ease. Gu Xiang just took it as an opportunity to exercise herself.
They are currently renting a one-bedroom apartment in a relatively remote area. However, the rent is cheap, only 300 yuan per month. There isn't much decent furniture at home either.
Thinking of going to the countryside tomorrow, Gu Xiang thought about packing the clothes she wanted to bring.
But opening the closet and taking a look... damn it! What the hell is this?!
What's in the closet?!
Pink T-shirt, pink skirt and even pink underwear!
What a strong rural noble killing horse's breath?!
Is it Balala the Fairies?!!!
Gu Xiang felt that her whole year of the sheep (she was born in the year of the sheep) had been ruined!
Found two relatively clean T-shirts, a pair of jeans, and then Gu Xiang casually pulled out two plastic bags, one for underwear and the other for a new toothbrush.
The house is actually quite messy, after all, there's only one person, Gu's mother, who is busy running around inside and outside, and she also runs a small business on her own. Usually, the shop's affairs are already keeping her busy, and throughout the year, she only gets to rest for four or five days during Chinese New Year.
Actually, Gu Xiang didn't like cleaning either. Her mother was busy, and she herself was purely lazy. Moreover, later on, she lived alone for years, even if she tidied up the house to make it comfortable and cozy, there was no one to share it with her.
Gu Xiang swept and mopped the floor, then wiped all the tables, chairs and door frames again.
Although there was no big move, but after finishing it, I felt particularly satisfied in my heart!
There was no air conditioner at home, Gu Xiang broke out in a sweat and went to take a bath after finding her pajamas.
Then she was faced with a fact she couldn't accept —
Who the heck is that pig in the mirror!!!!!!!!!!
Her appearance belongs to the kind with a more oriental charm, melon seed face, phoenix eyes, high nose bridge, thin lips. The corners of her mouth are slightly raised, looking like she's always smiling.
But now the face in the mirror is big and round, with eyes almost squeezed out by fat. And she has a high forehead, which used to be covered up with powder and bangs, but now she doesn't have any bangs at all, her hair is all pulled back and tied into a ponytail.
Really don't want to admit that I had such poor taste and looked so ugly in the past, Gu Xiang wants to eat spicy strips and calm down...
She was already 1 meter 7 at the age of 20, but now she is only about 1 meter 55!
It's okay if she's short, but when she stood naked in front of the full-length mirror, she found that her two legs didn't even have a seam!
She ran into the bedroom and pulled out a weight scale from under the bed.
The needle is wavering between 70 and 71.
Gu Xiang's mouth twitched and he rolled back into the bathroom to take a shower.
When she came out after washing, her mother had already returned, with a watermelon in hand.
"Gu Xiang, you've cleaned up!" Gu's mom almost shouted, staring at Gu Xiang for a long time and saying: "You're acting strange today. I hope you haven't gotten into some kind of trouble."
Gu Xiang took the watermelon from her hand and put it in the kitchen: "I'm helping you, isn't that good? Usually, you'd say I'm lazy. How come you're so hard to serve?"
Gu's mom was taking off her shoes and changing into slippers when she suddenly kicked her butt.
Gu Xiang stumbled and exclaimed: "What are you doing?! I'm holding a watermelon!"
"Your mom smiled and said: 'You're so fat, I can't kick you.'"
You're so fat, I can't kick you...
You're so fat...
So fat...
Fat!!!!!
Gu Xiang, who had just been struck, slumped back again.
"Gu's mom looked at her serious face and said in a flattering tone, "Ya Ya, want to eat watermelon? I bought it downstairs, they say it's sweet."
Gu Xiang was wiping his hair: "I'm not eating."
Mom Gu opened the freezer and took a look, saying: "There are still three or four 'Su Bian' in the fridge. You won't be home for two days, do you want to eat two?"
Gu Xiang's heart skipped a beat...
It was only the day before that she was in a situation where eating one more mouthful of food might have meant losing her job, and now she could eat whatever she wanted, and even had Mrs. Gu actively offering her this and that to eat.
"Let's have one then," she said.
Gu's mother took a bowl and placed two "random change" in it, handing it over to her.
Gu Xiang suddenly remembered that she used to like putting ice cream sticks and the like in a bowl, mashing them up and eating them. When she was happy, she could eat three or four at once. And now popsicles are cheap, "Su Bian" wholesale price is only 1.2 yuan per stick.
Gu's mother cut the watermelon again and inserted a spoon into the half with the stem, placing it on the tea table in front of Gu Xiang.
It's no wonder why some people are fat...
Gu Xiang was eating popsicles and watching TV at the same time.
But the TV shows are all very old, such as "Emperor Kangxi's Incognito Visits" and "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo".
Gu Xiang flipped through the channels but didn't see anything interesting, so she casually switched to CCTV to watch "Human and Nature".
After a while, Gu's mother came out of the bath and asked her: "Why didn't you watch 'Lovers in Paris' today?"
"Waiting for you, aren't I?"
Gu's mother went to turn on the DVD player.
It turned out that they rented DVDs and watched them at home.
Gu Xiang suddenly remembered that her mother used to be a fan of Korean dramas and would often watch them together. Even when her mother was hospitalized, the two of them still watched "Palace" together in the hospital.
Then they watched a Korean drama for the whole night, and when the male lead Qi Zhu announced the cancellation of his engagement to all the guests and reporters at the engagement party and rushed to the female lead Tai Ling, it was almost 10 o'clock.
Gu Xiangcai won't say that because it's a dubbed version, so every time he hears the female lead and supporting actress affectionately calling the male lead "Qizhu" in a deep and tender tone, he bursts out laughing...
The name of this Korean drama's president is too rustic and the transliteration is also hilarious hahaahaha!
Gu's mother handed the watermelon in her hand to Gu Xiang, looking at her with a particularly strange smile.
Gu Xiang had just finished eating two ice cream sticks and wasn't particularly hungry, but when he saw the watermelon his mother handed over, although a lot of white flesh had been eaten away from the surface, all the scooped-out parts were near the rind. The big chunk in the middle hadn't been touched at all.
Her nose was a little sour.
After eating watermelon, Gu Xiang felt sleepy.
Although she usually sleeps at 3 or 4, now it's not even 10 yet and she can't stay awake. I don't know if it's like Teacher Zheng said, that she is growing up and lacks sleep.
Gu's mother was watching Korean dramas very seriously, and when she discovered it, Gu Xiang's head had already been nodding off little by little like a chick pecking at rice.
Her mother then urged her to go to sleep.
Gu Xiang acted coquettishly with her and clung to her to sleep together.
Her mother pinched her cheek and said: "You're so big, but you still act like a spoiled child." However, she still turned off the TV and went to sleep with her.
Gu Xiang had been used to holding onto her mother's wrist while sleeping since she was a child, and tonight was no exception, her grip even tighter than usual.
When Gu's mom turned over in bed at midnight, she found that her hands couldn't be pulled back, and she was both angry and amused.
The next morning, Gu Xiang had just woken up and reached out with her hand to the side.
It's okay, her mom is still around.
Gu Xiang let out a long sigh.
Gu's mother also woke up and said to her: "What are you sighing about so early in the morning?"
Gu Xiang quickly moved closer to her, half of his body leaning on hers.
Gu's mother couldn't push her, so she went to scratch her itch. Gu Xiang let out a loud cry and covered herself with the quilt, hiding everywhere. Gu's mother then went to pull her legs and scratch the soles of her feet...
Two people laughed until they were out of breath before stopping.
Gu's mother took a look at the clock on her bedside table and saw that it was 7:30, so she quickly got out of bed.
Gu Xiang got up and pulled open the curtains. Outside, it was already very bright. A group of elderly men and women had returned from their morning exercise downstairs.
The days are really beautiful, she thought with some affectation.
"Yaya, Mom can't make breakfast for you in time. Otherwise, I'll soak a bucket of instant noodles for you?" said Mrs. Gu from the bathroom.
Instant noodles... Gu Xiang swallowed her saliva. Nowadays, □□ bucket noodles 3 yuan and 50 cents a box, with plenty of ingredients, unlike the later instant noodles that cut corners and reduced materials, she remembered the super delicious ones from her childhood.
"Yaya, Mom really can't make it on time. Can I give you two more Wang Zhongwang?"
"Okay, then let's eat this one. If you can't make it, just go to the store first."
Gu's mother came out of the toilet and had already washed up.
Gu Xiang followed her in and washed up. When she came out, her mother had already prepared instant noodles for her.
The fragrance is overwhelming, completely incomparable afterwards.
Gu Xiang really did salivate a lot automatically because of this fragrance.
"Yaya, have you packed all your clothes?" Mrs. Gu went back into the house to check her backpack again.
"It's all done, Mom, don't look. I've got everything with me."
"Even if you're unhappy in the countryside, just give your family a call and Mom will come pick you up."
Gu Xiang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
After Gu Xiang finished eating noodles, her mother accompanied her to the train station, first taking a taxi with her to the station and then putting her on the bus going to the countryside. She left only after seeing Gu Xiang sit down safely on the bus.
This feeling of being taken care of like a child... is actually quite nice! ≧▽≦
