Chapter 297: Freeloading Off The Unlucky Chen Family (1)
Moreover, she had great culinary skills.
The kids had a very satisfying meal.
The youngest, Gu Jinzhi, had his mouth full of oil. Even his hands had sauce and he stuck his tiny tongue out to lick them clean.
Gu Qingyao: “…”
“Elder Sister, you make delicious food. I want to follow you in the future. I will not go to my parents anymore!”
Gu Jinzhi said with a serious expression.
Gu Qingyao smiled.
Comfort washed over her suddenly as she watched the child’s innocent and blissful face.
This child probably still did not have a strong concept of his parents’ departure. In this period of time in the hometown, he ate well, had clothes to keep him warm and had someone to play with. He spent his days very happily and never mentioned missing his parents.
The north-east!
It would take a very long time by train from here.
There had not been any news from Eldest Uncle and everyone was unaware of the situation.
Before he left, he said that he would write back once they were settled there and everyone had been waiting.
Meanwhile, the Chen family was also having their meal at this time.
Chen Honghua brought Gu Ruoqing back home. Her mother, Wang Qiuhua, was delighted and was waiting for them after preparing all the dishes.
Truthfully speaking, Gu Ruoqing looked down on Chen Honghua completely.
She looked down on their entire family.
But now, her lips curled up as she looked at Chen Honghua and Wang Qiuhua who were smiling to curry favor with her.
The mother was called Qiuhua while the daughter Honghua. How much do they like flowers*?
*”hua” translates to flower in English
However, in a village family, there was a family of which the grandmother, daughter-in-law and granddaughter were all called Zhaodi. Only country folks were able to do such stupid and tacky things.
Weird people!
At the thought of that, Gu Ruoqing suddenly felt that she was very lofty and finally felt the superiority of being a city girl.
Ever since she entered the Wang family, she had been doubting her life everyday. But today, she felt that it was still worth it to be a city girl.
Chen Honghua brought a chair for Gu Ruoqing solicitously. Placed before Gu Ruoqing was a bowl of rice. White rice!
This was a treatment that even Chen Honghua did not have in the past. Only her ancestor-like younger brother received such treatment.
Gu Ruoqing could not help but swallow her saliva when she saw the bowl of white rice and it was only after exerting all her energy did she control herself from engulfing all the rice.
Gu Ruoqing and Chen Xiaobao had white rice while the remaining people had cornbread. Wang Qiuhua brought two dishes out. One was salted vegetables while the other was scrambled eggs with green peppers.
It was a very small portion – only a portion in the center of the plate and it was made with two eggs with lots of green pepper.
But even so, it was nothing short of a delicacy to Gu Ruoqing who had not eaten meat for a long time.
Losing restraint, she picked up her chopsticks and tossed everything into her mouth furiously. Everyone was shocked to see her wolfing down the food!
Gu Ruoqing also knew that behaving like this would lose face but she had no choice. She was ravenous and really wanted to eat. The taste of the food in her mouth made her unable to stop although she knew it was damaging to her image.
Faced with the bewildered stares of the people from the Chen family, Gu Ruoqing cleared the rice in her bowl and all the scrambled egg with green pepper in the plate in under two minutes.
“Do you have any more?” With an empty bowl in hand, she asked Chen Honghua opposite her.
Chen Honghua only returned to her senses after hearing the question. “Yes… a little more…”
She was about to reach out and refill Gu Ruoqing’s bowl but Gu Ruoqing dashed into the kitchen at once after hearing the reply.
The Chens: …
