The family happened to have some fine grains these days, so Liu Xiaoxi hesitated for a moment and decided to make some noodle soup for Gu Zhan. She could give the money to her brother and sister-in-law when they got home from work in the afternoon.

Gu Zhan had intended to rest on a chair in the room, but he accidentally fell asleep. He didn't open his eyes until Liu Xiaoxi brought the meal to the table in front of him.

"Let's eat." Liu Xiaoxi handed the chopsticks in her hand to Gu Zhan.

"Okay, go get a bowl and we'll eat together."

Liu Xiaoxi quickly declined: "I've already eaten at noon and I'm not hungry now. You've been tired for a few days, so hurry up and eat."

Gu Zhan knew that Liu Xiaoxi must have had lunch by now, but it was definitely not noodles. At this time, every household was short of food, and any fine grains they had were mixed with coarse grains.

No matter how good the conditions are at my father-in-law and mother-in-law's house, they are not at the level where they can eat fine grains on a daily basis.

Knowing her partiality and favoritism towards him, Gu Zhan said in a tone that did not allow for argument: "Go get a bowl. If you don't eat, I won't eat either."

Liu Xiaoxi had no choice but to go get the bowl angrily.

Each person took half of a bowl of noodles, and soon they had finished both the soup and the noodles.

Gu Zhan breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the bowl and went to the kitchen to wash it.

Liu Xiaoxi couldn't stop him, so she simply ignored him and went to the house where she lived before she got married to pack her things. After her parents and brother and sister-in-law got off work, she said goodbye and went home.

After washing the dishes, Gu Zhan divided the things he bought at the municipal supply and marketing cooperative and the county supply and marketing cooperative, and left a part to his father-in-law's family as a thank you gift for his father-in-law and mother-in-law for taking care of his wife during this period.

The other part was bought specially for Liu Xiaoxi, so he never took it out again.

After six o'clock, the Liu family members came home one after another after work.

The first person to come back was Liu Xiaoxi's sister-in-law Wang Yuehong. When she saw Gu Zhan coming back, she greeted him with surprise and went into the kitchen to prepare cooking.

But when she saw that the amount of flour in the cloth bag had obviously decreased, she suddenly felt dizzy.

What happened? Everything was fine when I was cooking lunch, but half of it was gone in one lunch.

After thinking about it, it must be that my sister-in-law was cooking just now.

Wang Yuehong lifted the lid of the pot and touched the bottom of the pot. Sure enough, it was hot.

Wang Yuehong was so distressed that she burst into tears. Her son had been clamoring for noodles for a long time, but she was reluctant to eat this little bit of flour, so she kept it here to make dumplings for the New Year. Who knew that her sister-in-law would cook it today.

This sister-in-law is so ignorant. When her husband is not at home, she just spends as much money as she can at her parents' home. It would be fine if she just provides food and accommodation, but today she actually spent all the fine grains at home.

The more Wang Yuehong thought about it, the more aggrieved and angry she felt, and her hands unconsciously became heavier.

Liu Xiaoxi was whispering to Gu Zhan about what had just happened. She had just made noodles with the flour at home. The fine grains were precious, but it was not easy to give money directly, so she simply gave her nephew a red envelope of ten yuan when she left.

Who knew that before he could finish his words, he heard crackling sounds coming from the kitchen.

When Liu Xiaoxi heard something was wrong, she quickly ran to the door to take a look. Through the door, she saw her sister-in-law Wang Yuehong, with red eyes, cooking in the kitchen and smashing plates and bowls.

Liu Xiaoxi quickly retracted her head and looked at Gu Zhan embarrassedly.

Gu Zhan didn't show it on his face, but he felt a little embarrassed inside. Fine grains are precious, and his wife's actions were indeed a bit reckless, but Wang Yuehong's actions were indeed a bit embarrassing.

Liu Xiaoxi was planning to go to the kitchen to explain to her sister-in-law, but just as she turned around, Liu Jinshui and others walked in. Afraid that her parents would think too much, she didn't go for the time being.

So Gu Zhan took a look at the food coupons and cloth coupons he was going to give to his father-in-law and mother-in-law's family, patted Liu Xiaoxi on the shoulder, and whispered to her to comfort her that everything was okay.

Liu Jinshui went to work early in the afternoon and did not see Gu Zhan. Huang Guihua told him about it when she went to work.

Therefore, he did not seem surprised to see Gu Zhan coming back.

"Dad, Mom." Gu Zhan walked up to them politely and greeted them.

When Liu Zhong, who was walking behind, came in, Gu Zhan also stepped forward to greet him, but his tone was much calmer than when he spoke to Liu Jinshui and his wife.

Liu Xiaoxi was also standing nearby and clearly heard the change in Gu Zhan's tone, but she didn't say much. After all, what her sister-in-law had done just now was indeed embarrassing.

"Dad, Mom, you're back? Gu Zhan and I are planning to go home."

Huang Guihua was stunned when she heard her daughter say this: "Aren't you going to finish dinner before leaving?"

Seeing the surprised looks in the old couple's eyes, Liu Xiaoxi couldn't bear to disturb the old people's good mood, so she made up an excuse: "No, Mom and Dad, we haven't been home for three or four days. I'm afraid the house is a little damp, so we have to go back and open the door to ventilate it."

Huang Guihua glanced at her son-in-law and saw that he also wanted to go back, so she didn't stay any longer and said regretfully, "Okay then."

Seeing that the situation was almost settled, Gu Zhan took the things he had divided up to Huang Guihua and Liu Jinshui and said, "Mom and Dad, this is a little gift from Xiaoxi and me. Please accept it."

Huang Guihua looked at Gu Zhan holding the thing in front of him with tears in her eyes. Fortunately, her daughter was lucky and survived.

She really couldn't imagine how her daughter would live the rest of her life if her son-in-law continued to be as stubborn as before.

Seeing that his wife didn't move for a long time and her eyes were red, Liu Jinshui knew what his wife was thinking.

He smiled and walked over to his wife, took the things from Gu Zhan's hand and put them in her hand: "Child, you should keep these things well after traveling such a long way to buy them."

"Oh, okay, okay." Huang Guihua spoke while wiping her tears.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Liu Xiaoxi walked up to Huang Guihua and hugged her arm coquettishly.

Huang Guihua extended her index finger and tapped Liu Xiaoxi's forehead: "Isn't Mom happy for you?"

Liu Xiaoxi glanced at Gu Zhan and saw that he was also looking at her. She lowered her head shyly.

Afterwards, Gu Zhan took out a few food coupons and cloth coupons and handed them to Huang Guihua, saying with a smile, "Mom, please pass these food coupons on to my sister-in-law."

Huang Guihua originally didn't want to take these food coupons, but when she heard her son-in-law say this, she subconsciously took them. She looked at Liu Jinshui hesitantly, and took the food coupons at Liu Jinshui's suggestion.

After saying goodbye to the Liu family one by one, Gu Zhan took Liu Xiaoxi's hand and left the Liu family.

After Liu Xiaoxi and his wife left, Liu Jinshui said to his son, who had just entered the house, with a dark face, "Call your wife over."

"Ah?" Liu Zhong was still confused when he heard his father calling his wife. He asked directly, "Isn't Yuehong cooking?"

Huang Guihua glanced at Liu Jinshui and saw that her husband's face was frighteningly dark. She quickly winked at her son and said, "Go call your wife!"

Liu Zhong reacted quickly and rushed to the kitchen to call Wang Yuehong.

Liu Zhong had been working hard all day, and Wang Yuehong felt sorry for him. Seeing him enter the kitchen, she asked, "Why aren't you taking a break? What are you doing in the kitchen?"

Liu Zhongdao: "My parents asked me to call you."

"Oh, okay, I'll come."

Wang Yuehong had already guessed that her father-in-law called her at this time because of what happened just now, but she was right now. How could it be wrong for a married daughter to come to her parents' home and take away her parents' things?

If the two elders were angry about this, she would find out what they had to say about the matter.
