As Gu Jinlin spoke, he placed the packed dishes on a little table in Zhou Ping’s room.
“Come and eat, the both of you.”
The two kids immediately dashed to eat. Their brother bought the dishes from the state-run restaurant and it must be delicious.
Gu Qingyao and Gu Jinlin only ate half of the fish and the untouched half was brought back. Similarly, they only drank a little of the egg soup and brought most of it back.
He also ordered another vegetable dish to bring back.
Seeing that there were scallion pancakes, buns and even fish, the two children cheered but Zhou Ping’s expression was not pleasant.
“Have the two of you eaten? Jinlin, you spent quite a lot on these, didn’t you?”
pαпᵈα-noνɐ1·сoМ Gu Jinlin was helping Gu Qingyao to bring her luggage into the room and he returned to reply with a smile. “We’ve already eaten. I spent three yuan.”
Zhou Ping’s expression darkened immediately.
But Gu Jinlin did not notice it and even continued saying, “I ordered a lot of buns and scallion pancakes. It’s enough for you all to eat and there should be some leftovers for dinner too. We can just cook porridge and stir fry vegetables then.”
Gu Jinlin looked at Gu Qingyao and said, “Rest well here tonight. Don’t tire yourself out!”
Gu Qingyao smiled and unpacked her luggage.
Gu Qingyao and Gu Jinlin were in the room next door while Zhou Ping had an unpleasant look.
She called her over to take care of them not to be treated as an ancestor!
The room that Gu Qingyao was staying in used to be Gu Jinlin’s room.
There were three rooms here, where Third Uncle and Third Aunt shared one room, Gu Jinlin had a room to himself and the two children shared a room.
Now that Gu Qingyao came, Gu Jinlin gave his room up for Gu Qingyao to live in while he would join the two kids. There was a bunk bed there and it was convenient for him to squeeze in there.
Gu Jinlin was overjoyed that his younger cousin came over and he pointed to the room. “I’ve already washed the bedsheet. I emptied half of the closet for you to use and I won’t be touching my remaining clothes in the closet. There’s a desk that you can use if you need to.
“Did you bring towels and toothbrush? I prepared a new set…”
“It’s fine. I brought them.”
Gu Qingyao patted Gu Qingyao’s head. “All right then! Anyways, the room is this big only so you can have the room to yourself. Let me know if you need anything. Thank you for your help for this period of time!
“After this busy period, I will bring you out to eat good food.”
Gu Qingyao grinned. “Thank you, Third Cousin!”
Gu Jinlin was elated; He was happy as long as he saw his younger cousin!
“My mother twisted her ankles and couldn’t walk. But simple movements are still fine. You just need to hold her when she needs to use the toilet. The rest would be making meals and to look after these two young ones. Just spank their butts if they’re disobedient. Don’t stand on ceremony!
“If they’re still disobedient, tell me. I’ll come back and beat them up. They’re extremely mischievous usually. You don’t need to be reluctant to beat them.”
Gu Jinlin could already tell that Gu Qingyao doted on kids when he was back in their hometown. Almost everyday, this girl was thinking about making delicious food for the kids to eat, new clothes to wear and whatnot.
“I got it. I guarantee I will train them into obedient kids.” Gu Qingyao chuckled.
Delighted, Gu Jinlin said, “I’ll really have to thank you well if you’re able to do that! These two kids have nothing to do usually and are causing troubles everywhere. They’re not obedient at all.”
Gu Jinlin was very occupied with work during this period of time. Otherwise, he would not have written a letter back home to send someone to help take care of the family. He led Gu Qingyao to take a look at the food supplied at home and explained the brief situation regarding the surrounding neighbours. Lastly, he washed the utensils that Zhou Ping and the two children used before rushing off to work.
