’80s Sweet Marriage: Struggle for a Good Life

Chapter 43: Chive and shrimp dumplings

Views:

Early the next morning, Su Nuo and Su Yang went to school together and saw Gu Chenglan at the school gate.

Gu Chenglan was not smoking a cigarette today. He was wearing a clean and translucent white shirt, with only one side of the hem tucked into his pants. He looked handsome and handsome, with a little bit of the wildness of a young man.

What’s even stranger is that Gu Chenglan is carrying a schoolbag today. Not an ordinary canvas bag, but a pure cowhide crossbody bag.

The satchel hung loosely and slanted behind her back, making Gu Chenglan's figure look even more slender and sultry.

Suno's eyes were hot, his heart was trembling, and he wanted to go over and say something. But because Su Yang was nearby, he could only lower his head and look at Gu Chenglan secretly, suppressing his enthusiasm.

Gu Chenglan walked towards Su Yang generously and put one hand on Su Yang's shoulder: "What a coincidence, classmate Su Yang, let's go together."

"Morning." Su Yang greeted him openly, then turned to Su Nuo and said, "Xiao Nuo, go back to class by yourself."

"Oh, okay." Suno lowered his head and started to run with small steps.

I don’t know if Gu Chenglan did it intentionally or unintentionally. At this time, he reached out and pushed the satchel, and the bag just hit Sunuo. Neither light nor heavy, nor painful.

Su Nuo was startled for a moment and glanced back. I happened to see Gu Chenglan move his mouth and make a mouth shape, saying: dumplings.

Sunuo pursed his lips and smiled slightly, looked in one direction, then lowered his head and walked away quickly. I don’t know if Gu Chenglan understands what she means.

The last period before lunch break is physical education class. Boys have to run 2,000 meters and girls have to run 800 meters.

Sunuo is not the type of athlete. His arms and legs have been thin since he was a child, so of course he cannot run. The same goes for Zheng Mingming, but she does it because she has a lot of meat.

The two of them pulled me and I pulled you, and they walked around and finally reached the finish line. The other students had already gone to play ball.

"Obviously, if the teacher gathers for roll call later, you can tell me that I have a stomachache and went to the toilet. I have to go home beforehand." Su Nuo looked at the physical education teacher in the distance who was watching the boys playing ball with her hands behind her back, and asked Zheng Mingming to cover her.

"Are you going to cook for grandma at home?" Zheng Mingming knew that grandma Su needed to be taken care of, so he didn't ask any more questions: "Okay, you can go. After ringing the bell, I will take a lunch break. I guess the teacher can't gather to report."

Sunuo responded, hid behind some trees along the campus path, and ran away.

Sunuo went to the market first and bought leeks and shrimps. The shrimps were really expensive, but fortunately they were fresh, so Su Nuo didn't feel bad at all.

After hurriedly returning home, Sunuo rubbed her legs for her grandma, then poured her a glass of water, and then said, "Grandma, wait for the dumplings with chives and shrimps. I'll make them right away."

"How expensive are shrimps?" Grandma said with a distressed look on her face: "Grandma doesn't eat them, so you can eat them. Be good, grandma doesn't like shrimps."

"Let's eat together. This is what we'll have for lunch." Su Nuo smiled and washed her hands and kneaded the noodles. She put a handful of leeks in a basin and placed it next to grandma's bed: "Please help me pick the leeks."

Sunuo and grandma have small appetites. The cooked dumplings were packed into a lunch box for Gu Chenglan, which was enough for the remaining two people.

The shrimps are delicious and grandma loves them, but she feels bad about spending money on them.

Su Nuo opened the dumplings one by one for her grandma, let them cool, and said, "Grandma, eat more. Don't worry, our family's life will get better and better. Tell me what you want to eat and what you want. I can all respect you."

Grandma responded, but tears slowly filled her eyes.
