Chapter 332: Doting Third Brother (2)

Gu Jinlin smiled. “Don’t worry, I can make breakfast. You cook every day. If we exhaust you, Younger Uncle and Father will have my hide.”

Gu Qingyao was amused. “No, cooking is not at all tiring.”

“I still can’t bear to let you do all this!”

“What are we eating?” Gu Qingyao stretched her neck to peek.

Gu Jinlin replied, “Porridge and pancakes.”

There was mixed grain porridge cooking in the pot and Gu Jinlin was making rye flour pancakes. For vegetables, they had a dish of preserved vegetables and a dish of pickled beans. He had also cooked an egg each for Gu Qingyao and the two children.

When Gu Qingyao arrived, she had brought thirty eggs with her, some meat, and some fine grain.

Zhou Ping’s heart ached to see that they had used up three eggs for breakfast. Also, her son had woken up early to make breakfast. She felt that Gu Qingyao had come here to play instead of taking care of them.

Their family still had to feed her. If the food was slightly inferior, her husband and son’s hearts would ache. They spent all day thinking about how to get some good food for her.

Zhou Ping looked at her eldest son. “Jinlin! You’ve been busy at work lately, you should eat better. You look rather pale lately. Don’t exhaust yourself.”

Gu Qingyao turned to look at her third brother and felt that he did indeed seem a little more haggard than before. He had a lot of work lately! He had not rested well. He should indeed eat better food to nourish himself.

But Third Brother did not return in the afternoon and often came back at midnight. He seldom ate at home.

“That’s right, Third Brother. You should take care of yourself. Here, have this egg to build up your strength.”

Gu Qingyao placed her boiled egg in front of Gu Jinlin.

Gu Jinlin smiled and returned the egg to her. “No need! I’ve been busy at work lately. After this period is over, I’ll be all right. You eat it. I’m in good health. Don’t worry!”

Zhou Ping’s expression was ugly.

Gu Qingyao also cared for Third Brother. Although he was not as rich as Fourth Brother and did not give her as much pocket money or nice things as Second or Fourth Brother, he still doted on her. It was just that he was poorer.

He did not dote on her any less than the other cousins.

Gu Qingyao wanted to give him the egg, but he adamantly refused. She had no choice but to eat it in the end.

Zhou Ping’s expression grew even uglier.

In the afternoon, Gu Qingyao let the two children play by themselves while she went to the grocery store for some things.

Considering all she had, she had no need to shortchange her own family. He was good to her and she also enjoyed being good to him.

During this period, Third Brother had worked overtime every day and was indeed looking more haggard. He did not get to eat the food they cooked at home. How could there be anything good in the canteen?

So she went out to buy some things. When she returned, she would cook a good meal to nourish Third Brother.

She was early and there were still quite a lot of items in the grocery store. She asked for two kilograms of pork collar, two kilograms of pork ribs, a fish, a slice of winter melon, some green vegetables, and two carrots. Only then did she return home with her basket on her arm.

Actually, she had all these things in her inters.p.a.ce, but she could not just take them out casually. There were other people in the household, not just her. So she had to make a special trip to the grocery store to buy these.

When she got back, she saw a familiar figure,

This area was an established housing estate. Although it was not too old, it had many buildings and many people lived here, crowded together.

There were more alleys here. Besides the buildings, the rest were small alleys and these were older. As a whole, the area looked rather disorderly.

She had just seen a familiar figure being dragged into a small alley by someone else.
