Chapter fifty-seven: the big-handed Zhou family

"What's the good news?" Liang'er asked curiously.

Gu Xiaoyou and Mrs. Zhou looked at each other, smiled and said, "Let's talk about it when we go home. Now let's go buy something delicious."

As he said that, he stretched out his hand towards Liang'er.

Liang'er put his hand on Gu Xiaoyou's palm and responded obediently: "Yeah, okay."

"Give me the schoolbag." Mrs. Zhou carried the schoolbag on Gu Xiaoyou's shoulders behind her.

Gu Xiaoyou led Liang'er, followed by Mr. Zhou, talking and laughing all the way to the market.

As soon as he arrived at the market, Gu Xiaoyou waved his hand, showing off his aura of sweeping the entire street, and said boldly: "Liang'er, you can eat whatever you want, I'll treat you today."

Before Liang'er could speak, Zhou pulled down Gu Xiaoyou's arm and said seriously: "I'm treating you today, and you are not allowed to spend any more money."

"I'm happy, let me spend it."

"As you said, you can eat at my house from now on, and I'll pay for the food."

Gu Xiaoyou was just trying to fool Zhou, but he didn't expect her to be so serious.

Seeing Zhou's stubborn look, Gu Xiaoyou had no choice but to swallow everything she wanted to say.

"Okay, I'll just listen to you." Gu Xiaoyou said meekly.

Mrs. Zhou nodded with satisfaction: "That's right. You love to eat pork ribs, so buy some to stew. You also need to buy a chicken and stew some tonic soup for you..."

Seeing Mrs. Zhou's attitude of buying the whole street, Gu Xiaoyou stuck out her tongue, took Liang'er's hand, and walked quickly to Mr. Zhou's side.

"Sister Zhou, just buy a few vegetables. It's a waste if you can't eat."

"I won't waste any food for you. I'll see if there's anything else I can do."

It was as if the identities of Gu Xiaoyou and Mr. Zhou had been reversed, and the person who spent money lavishly became Ms. Zhou.

After Gu Xiaoyou's hard persuasion, Zhou finally only bought a few home-cooked dishes.

Gu Xiaoyou wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth and finally understood how it feels to persuade someone not to spend money than to persuade them to spend money.

She was afraid that Mrs. Zhou would change her mind, so she held Liang'er in one hand and Mrs. Zhou in the other, and left the market quickly.

Gu Xiaoyou didn't let go of their hands until both feet stepped through the door.

"Walking so fast, my arm will be broken by you."

Mrs. Zhou sighed, then carried the ingredients and walked to the kitchen.

Gu Xiaoyou wrinkled her nose and blinked innocently at Liang'er: "I'm going back to my room first. I'll see you at dinner later."

"Okay, Aunt Gu." Liang'er responded and went to the yard to find his little yellow dog.

As soon as he entered the room, Gu Xiaoyou took out the house deed that he had kept all the way: "Hey, now I not only have money, but I also have a house."

She took out her mobile phone, held up the property deed and took a photo.

"To commemorate my first house."

Gu Xiaoyou renamed the photo and sent it to her parents with hope.

Unfortunately, it still cannot be sent.

Gu Xiaoyou sighed: "Mom and Dad, I have a house now. You don't have to worry about me wandering around..."

After she finished her routine report on the photos of her parents, she put her phone away again.

The mobile phone was put into the purse and made a crisp sound. Gu Xiaoyou took a look and saw that the mobile phone touched the gold ingot.

She touched the ingot and thought a little absentmindedly, why was the person she wanted to see not around?

At this time, Mrs. Zhou's gentle voice sounded: "Xiaoyou, it's time to eat."

"Hey, here we come."

Gu Xiaoyou put away her sadness, picked up the house deed on the table, and walked towards the yard.

Liang'er and Mrs. Zhou were already waiting at the dinner table. As soon as Gu Xiaoyou sat down, Mrs. Zhou put the soup in front of her.

"Thank you, Sister Zhou." Gu Xiaoyou picked up the spoon, took a sip of the soup, and praised: "The soup you make is getting better and better."

"If it tastes good, drink more." Mrs. Zhou picked up several dishes with serving chopsticks and put them into Gu Xiaoyou's bowl.

"Try it and see if you like it."

Gu Xiaoyou tasted each one and said with a smile: "Well, they are all delicious."

Mrs. Zhou showed a happy expression and continued to pick up food for Gu Xiaoyou.

Gu Xiaoyou swallowed the food in her mouth, covered her bowl, and dissuaded her: "Sister Zhou, you can eat it and leave me alone."

"Okay, I'll eat it myself."

Mrs. Zhou then put down her chopsticks, picked up her rice bowl, and started eating.

Gu Xiaoyou breathed a sigh of relief and started eating with peace of mind.

When all three people were full, they put down their chopsticks.

Gu Xiaoyou took out two house deeds from his arms, waved them in front of Liang'er's eyes, and quickly took them back.

"Liang'er, what do you think this is?"

Liang'er scratched his head. Gu Xiaoyou's movement was too fast, and he didn't see what it was at all.

"It's...a letter." Liang'er said hesitantly.

"No, guess again."

Gu Xiaoyou shook his head, then picked up the house deed and waved it in front of Liang'er's eyes, teasing him playfully.

Liang'er still couldn't see clearly, so she had to look at Zhou for help.

Mrs. Zhou stretched out her finger, pointed around the yard, and whispered softly: "Room..."

"No cheating." Gu Xiaoyou warned.

Mrs. Zhou had no choice but to close her mouth and show a helpless expression.

Liang'er had already heard the word "fang", looked at the yard again, and suddenly thought of what Gu Xiaoyou said in the kitchen that day when it rained.

With a flash of inspiration, Liang'er said wittily: "It's the house deed."

Gu Xiaoyou pretended to be unhappy and put the property deed on the table.

She crossed her arms across her chest and said in an angry tone: "Humph, you cheated. Mother and son teamed up to bully me."

Liang'er thought Gu Xiaoyou was really angry and said anxiously: "Aunt Gu, I was wrong, I didn't mean it..."

He coaxed and rubbed his eyes, looking very pitiful.

Gu Xiaoyou was almost crying when he saw Liang'er, and suddenly realized that the joke was too big.

"Don't cry, I'm not angry, I'm just teasing you." Gu Xiaoyou said apologetically, showing a big smile.

Liang'er looked at Gu Xiaoyou doubtfully: "Really?"

"Really, I bought a house, it's not too late to be happy."

Gu Xiaoyou hurriedly handed the house deed to Liang'er: "There is another room here for you and your mother."

"And my mother and I?" Liang'er opened her eyes wide and looked at the house deed in disbelief.

He looked towards Mrs. Zhou: "Mom, have you bought a house?"

"Aunt Gu bought it for us." Mrs. Zhou walked over and touched Liang'er's head.

Liang'er immediately looked at Gu Xiaoyou, opened her mouth, and said nothing for a long time.

Gu Xiaoyou pressed his chin back in a funny way: "Why are you so stupid after seeing the house deed?"

Liang'er swallowed: "Aunt Gu, did you buy a house for my mother and me?"

"Yes, the house is very beautiful, with flowers and trees, three big rooms..."

Listening to Gu Xiaoyou's description, Liang'er showed a longing expression: "I really want to see..."

Gu Xiaoyou shaved Liang'er's nose and said with a smile: "When your holiday comes, we will move there, and you will see it then."
