Rebirth of a Fat Girl's Youth Diary

  Because the next day was the National Day holiday, Gu's mother didn't open the store that day and went to stock up after sending off Gu Xiang.

  In fact, many people carpool for Jiefang Road Shopping Mall's procurement meetings, but most of the time is quite early.

  Departure times range from 2-3 am to 5-6 am. All are for saving time.

  After unloading the goods and coming back, it will be noon, and we can still open the door for half a day's business.

  Gu's mother, for Gu Xiang, always sent her to school and then took a ride herself.

  Although it's a bit of trouble, Gu Xiang felt that this was also pretty good.

  That mode of taking a midnight bus, delivering goods in the morning and returning at noon is too tiring.

  Gu's mother asked her younger brother to pick up Gu Xiang.

  The little uncle is taciturn and has no sense of presence anywhere.

  Gu Xiang is not close to her two uncles, and is even less so than her father's older brother.

  Because both uncles are too introverted, to put it bluntly, they are the type that can't even fart after being beaten with eight sticks.

  Gu Xiang felt that in this life and the last, her uncle had said no more than 100 sentences to her.

  Her mother told her in the morning to go to her younger uncle's store for dinner.

  But Xiao Shu's uncle didn't say anything on the way and directly sent her back home.

  Gu Xiang didn't say much more, of course she thought that going to someone else's home was definitely not as comfortable as staying in her own home.

  Gu Xiang first went home and put down her school bag, then went to the vegetable market near her home to buy vegetables.

  It's almost dark and there aren't many fresh vegetables left at the market.

  Gu Xiang bought some green vegetables and cut a piece of five-flower pork.

  When buying meat, the stall owner thought Xiang was a little kid and casually gave her a piece that was about to be put on the scale.

  Gu Xiang didn't want his, directly chose a piece close to the front leg for himself.

  For dinner, Gu Xiang prepared stir-fried greens and braised pork in soy sauce.

  It was already after 8 o'clock when Gu's mother came back.

  Gu Xiang has already eaten dinner, and the dishes are still warm on the electric rice cooker.

  Gu's mother thought she had eaten at her younger uncle's place, so she went into the kitchen to prepare a simple noodle dish for dinner.

  As a result, I saw Gu Xiang's finished cooking.

  "Yaya, where did you get this lousy dish?" asked Mrs. Gu, poking her head out to ask her.

  Gu Xiang was watching TV in the living room and said: "I did it myself. I got out of school too late, there were no vegetables left at the market."

  Gu's mother was shocked when she heard the news, thinking it was Gu Xiang who had brought him back.

  "Didn't you go to your little uncle's house for dinner?"

  Gu Xiang said: "I didn't go, I'm already so old, and I still need others to take care of me for just one dinner."

  "Mom Gu was a bit angry and said: 'How old are you, dare to open the oil pan! This coal gas is so dangerous! Your uncle too, just sent you back alone? Where's your aunt?'"

  Gu Xiang shrugged: "I didn't go to my little uncle's house, he sent me back directly."

  Gu's mother didn't have time to eat either, so she made a phone call first.

  The result was that Little Auntie went back to her mother's home after finishing lunch today. She thought it was a given that Little Uncle would keep Gu Xiang behind for dinner without needing to be told.

  Who knew Little Uncle would send him back directly?

  Gu's mother hung up the phone and scolded her younger brother-in-law for two more sentences.

  Gu's mother scolded herself after giving birth, and then advised Gu Xiang: "Your aunt is not at home, your uncle is just a useless person."

  Gu Xiang said: "I'm not angry, I can take care of myself. Look, I've cooked two dishes for you, and when you come back, you can still eat something hot."

  Hearing his daughter say this, Mr. Gu's mother also felt relieved and thought her daughter was more considerate than ever.

  The seven-day holiday was long, and although there was a lot of homework, Gu Xiang felt that she could finish it in four days at most.

  The next day, she stayed in bed at home.

  School is great, just too little sleep.

  It was almost eleven o'clock when she opened her eyes, and Gu Xiang first called her mother.

  Gu's mother said that there were too many people in the store, so she didn't go over. She also told her that she had left 20 yuan on the table for Gu Xiang to buy lunch and eat by herself.

  The phone voice sounds noisy and very busy at first listen.

  Gu Xiang hung up the phone, brushed her teeth and washed her face, took some money and went to the vegetable market again.

  She actually has a lot of money on her, she spends one day buying water or eating corn, and the ten yuan pocket money given by her mother is not enough to spend.

  Another place with nothing good to sell.

  Gu Xiang bought chicken wings and cauliflower, then went to twist some meat threads.

  Her mother asked her yesterday when she learned how to stir-fry, and Gu Xiang said that she followed the TV blindly.

  Gu's mother didn't suspect anything either, seeing that Gu Xiang had made something with a good appearance, and attributed the cooking skills to Gu Xiang's cleverness.

  Gu Xiang stir-fried the leftover vegetables from yesterday and then made a dish of shredded meat with cauliflower, eggplant juice chicken wings.

  Her hands and feet weren't slow at all; she finished everything before 12 o'clock.

  She rummaged through the cupboard and found a thermos box, packed her lunch and was ready to deliver it to her mother.

  The Gu's mother's store is indeed crowded, or it can be said that the entire Liberation Road shopping district is very crowded.

  Gu Xiang squeezed in and took a look, there were at least four or five waves of people inside the store.

  Gu's mother was bargaining with someone and called out to her as soon as she saw her coming.

  Gu Xiang first put the rice in, then stood at the door of the store to help her mother sell clothes.

  Because the store sells children's clothing, so customers are mostly parents with their kids.

  Fortunately, children's clothing doesn't need to be tried on, most of it can be determined by just comparing and looking at it.

  There are also people who would wear clothes for ten years if they could, and when their children are only five or six years old, they buy clothes that fit eight- or nine-year-olds.

  However, many people look down on Xiang as a child and are not very willing to haggle with her.

  Gu Xiang didn't care, anyway someone wanted to see the clothes on top, so she took them down with a hanger and waited for her mother to finish the current deal before coming over to discuss the next one.

  Then she was also in charge of staring at the store entrance to prevent someone from taking away clothes directly.

  This way efficiency is certainly improved a lot.

  It wasn't until almost two o'clock that the number of people in the store gradually decreased.

  Gu Xiang hastily went into the small room at the back and ate her meal. Fortunately, it wasn't very cold outside, so the food in the thermos box was still warm.

  After eating, she changed into her mother's clothes for dinner.

  Gu's mother directly served the meal in front of her and ate, although it was very uncomfortable with people coming and going, but she also sold two pieces of clothing while eating.

  Watching Mrs. Gu put down her rice bowl four or five times while eating a meal, Gu Xiang felt especially heartbroken.

  Actually, their family's clothing store sells pretty cheap clothes. A long-sleeved children's shirt is only twenty yuan. Smaller ones are fifteen.

  A piece of clothing can earn about 50 cents to 1 dollar.

  But Gu's mother wouldn't let go of any business, if Gu Xiang didn't come, she would probably be busy until dark, and then rush back home to cook for her.

  It was almost six o'clock when the sky started to darken.

  The mall had no other lighting except for the daylight lamps of each store.

  Finally finished all the work for today.

  Gu's mother held her homemade notebook and counted the clothes.

  Gu Xiang is sweeping the floor with a bamboo broom.

  After calculating the accounts, Mrs. Gu smiled and said: "Today, we earned more than 500!"

  Gu Xiang had finished sweeping the floor and was helping Gu's mother hang up clothes outside the store, saying casually: "So many, really good."

  Mom said: "Didn't you say last time that you wanted to ride a bike? Mom will buy you a Giant in two days!"

  Giant bicycles were still considered a luxury item at that time, with even the cheapest ones costing around 500-600 yuan.

  Gu Xiang said no, she thought buying a bike for over 200 yuan would be enough.

  Gu's mother smiled and continued calculating her own accounts, completely ignoring him.

  The stir-fry from noon is not finished eating, just heat it up when going back tonight.

  "Mom Gu suddenly remembered and said: 'I told you yesterday not to turn on the gas alone at home! Didn't you hear me?'"

  Gu Xiang smiled and begged for mercy, taking her mother to the kitchen to demonstrate how to turn on and off the gas stove, repeatedly assuring herself that she would really pay attention to safety.

  The next day, Gu Xiang still wanted to go and help.

  But Gu's mom said her aunt introduced a temporary worker to help out, so she could focus on doing her homework at home.

  Gu Xiang counted the money on her body and found that she still had over a hundred yuan, so she went to the supermarket, added some daily necessities for her family, and also bought a bunch of vegetables.

  Her mother had been busy until November 11th, and the house hadn't been cleaned for a long time. Gu Xiang rolled up her sleeves and made a big effort to clean it up.

  It took an entire afternoon to clean up.

  After the clothes piled up in the living room were moved to the store for sale, and after cleaning and tidying up, the home finally looked presentable.

  After taking a bath, Gu Xiang lay comfortably on the bed. Before falling asleep in a daze, she was still thinking that this one-bedroom apartment was too small and that she should persuade her mom to buy a house as soon as possible.

  When Mom came home in the evening, she took a look and said, "Wow, since we moved in, our house has never been so clean!"

  Mother Gu was both happy and heartbroken, thinking to herself that her daughter was getting into trouble again.

  She had always thought that since the house was rented, she hadn't bothered to tidy it up. It wasn't until Gu Xiang had a rare day off at home that he even thought of this idea.

  Gu's mother called Gu Xiang to come and have dinner, Gu's mother told her that tomorrow her aunt would take Chen Wu to his grandmother's place, and asked Gu Xiang to go with them to play for two days.

  Gu Xiang certainly said okay, she has been thinking of her grandmother's cooking!

  Actually, it was just a mention by Little Aunt, and Gu's mom thought that Gu Xiang had homework to do and would get carsick, so she was worried that going to the countryside for two days would delay her studies, and didn't immediately agree.

  But when I came back home today, I saw that Gu Xiang had cleaned up the whole house. So Mom changed her mind.

  The next morning, Auntie came to pick up Gu Xiang.

  Three people hitchhike together back to their hometown.

  The little auntie chatted enthusiastically with Gu Xiang and asked her about her recent studies.

  Gu Xiang said it's okay, the things in the book are not difficult, but the teacher will expand and extend during class, and the questions that come out are also relatively difficult.

  Auntie is still very concerned about this aspect, after all Chen Wu will be going to junior high school next year. Along the way, she kept asking her about Hua Lu Middle School.

  They arrived at their grandmother's house, and she had already prepared dinner for them.

  Because his aunt had to go back after lunch, they started dinner soon after they arrived.

  The dishes are still more or less the same color, but they are all what Gu Xiang and Chen Wu like to eat.

  Gu Xiang didn't even finish two bowls of rice and directly made peace with Chen Wu.

  Losing weight and all that is just nonsense when you're at your grandma's place!

  Not long after lunch, my aunt returned home because she knew she had to take care of the business at her store. My grandmother didn't keep her for too long either.

  Gu Xiang felt drowsy as usual after lunch. When she was in school, she would always take a nap every day, let alone at home.

  When she woke up from her nap, she asked about a leek and meat mixed fragrance.

  Ran out to take a look, Grandpa was baking pancakes. Grandma was in the main room making leek pancakes with a bamboo spatula.

  Gu Xiang unconsciously swallowed his saliva.

  Grandma saw her and said: "Lunch was eaten early today, are you hungry? It'll be fine in a while."

  It wasn't long before something happened on my grandfather's side.

  Gu Xiang took a small bowl and filled it with one.

  A palm-sized leek pancake with a lot of meat inside.

  Especially the crust of bread that everyone usually dislikes to eat, after being stuffed with a circle of meat and roasted just right, the juice is all mixed in with the scallions, one bite and it's full of meat flavor.

  Whenever Grandpa takes one, she eats one.

  At noon, Gu Xiang ate two bowls of rice and took advantage of the hot leek pancake to eat six in one breath.
