In order to protect his own Gu Yanxiao and Gu Chenyi, when Gu Xi went to the supply area to get things, he decided to bring Dong Mingming along.
At this time, most of the others were still busy making fires, so there were not many people in the supply area.
There was almost no queue, and Gu Xi and the others got water and pots and pans for cooking.
After taking the things, Gu Xi was about to go back, but when he pulled Dong Mingming next to him, he couldn't pull it away.
"Hey, Gu Xi, look at this, what is this?" Dong Mingming asked curiously, pointing to a certain set of cooking utensils on the shelf.
Gu Xi glanced at a certain set of cookware that Dong Mingming was referring to, recalled it, as if he had seen it on the Internet before, and said, "It seems to be a combination cooker, which is placed on a fire, boils water below, and steams things on it."
"Wow, it looks so advanced. Shall we have a past?"
"We don't seem to be preparing steamed food." Gu Xi reminded.
Hearing this, Dong Mingming nodded: "It seems to be the same." After that, he put the cookware back on the shelf with some reluctance.
However, in the next second, Dong Mingming's attention was immediately attracted by another thing: "Hey, wearing this is too exaggerated."
"Then what should we do when we walk at night?"
"What did you use your phone for?" Gu Xi asked back.
Dong Mingming was speechless.
"What about this, this grill is good for grilling fish! Let's make one?"
"No, we have tin foil." Gu Xi ruthlessly shattered Dong Mingming's dream again.
The point is that these extra things can only be borrowed by redeeming points! Moreover, Dong Mingming is also sharp-eyed to pick the 'expensive' ones.
The points they finally got in the tent and stove life projects, Gu Xi didn't want to use a small broken headlamp.
"Let's go, let's go." Gu Xi wanted to pull Dong Mingming away, but Dong Mingming had jumped to another shelf.
Looking at Dong Mingming's cheerful back, Gu Xi silently wiped away his sweat: Why do you feel that this classmate treats the supply area as a shopping mall
While Gu Xi was complaining in her heart, the voice of the conversation from a few shelves caught her attention.
"How can we take it back with so many things?" A voice came with a bit of a complaint. After a pause, the speaker muttered again, "If only Dad would come too."
At this moment, another woman's voice sounded: "Dad has been in a hurry to deal with some company affairs these days, and he is already very tired, and he has not promised you that next year's Sutuo activities will definitely accompany you..."
The woman's voice is gentle, listen carefully, but you can hear a trace of reluctance in it.
Although the woman's words were full of consolation, the girl still muttered in dissatisfaction: "He clearly promised me before..."
…
When Dong Mingming came over with a multifunctional folding bucket, he saw Gu Xi standing in front of the shelf, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Gu Xi, why are you in a daze?" Dong Mingming called out to Gu Xi.
Gu Xi came back to his senses and shook his head: "It's nothing."
I just didn't expect to meet Song Kexin and Lin Anxin here.
After all, they were people who had lived together for 14 years, so even though they were separated by a few shelves, the other party's voice was not loud, but unfortunately they could hear Song Kexin and Lin Anxin's voice right away.
At this time, Lin Anxin and Song Kexin over there seemed to be getting more and more unhappy when they talked about Lin Yize.
"Dad comes back so late every day these days, what is he busy with..." Lin Anxin's voice became louder.
Hearing the voice, Dong Mingming also glanced in that direction, then turned his head to look at Gu Xi. Seeing that the expression on Gu Xi's face didn't seem right, Dong Mingming guessed something and asked curiously, "Do you know? of?"
"Well, that's right..." Gu Xi nodded.
Seeing this, Dong Mingming naturally thought that the people over there were people Gu Xi knew at the previous school.
"I said how to enter the supply area within a limited time. It turns out that Liming and we are using a supply area. It seems that the camping areas on both sides are really close..." Dong Mingming muttered.
There are many campsites in Pingjingshan. Although the campsites are separated from each other and do not affect each other, many of the supply areas are shared by several campsites, but the entrances and exits are on one side.
After that, Dong Mingming couldn't help but whisper again: "I hope you don't have any other joint competitions."
Last year, the High School Affiliated to University A held a friendly relay match with the 'next door' No. 7 Middle School.
The game was right, but the fault was that they lost to 7, which is not very happy.
…
Song Kexin over there seemed to soothe Lin Anxin's emotions.
Hearing that Song Kexin promised that she would call Lin Yize and ask him to rush over after his work, Lin Anxin seemed very happy, and even her voice was filled with excitement.
This is what Gu Xi often heard when he was in the Lin family.
In her memory, the relationship between Lin Yize and Song Kexin has always been the loving couple in the novel, and she has always been fond of Lin Anxin. Most of Song Kexin and Lin Yize will try their best to satisfy their daughter's wishes.
Before that, Gu Xi might feel a little uncomfortable.
But now, Gu Xi no longer envied Lin Anxin.
Because she has Gu Shao.
"Let's go back." Gu Xi pulled Dong Mingming up and said.
Hearing Gu Xi's words, Dong Mingming remembered that he still had a piece of equipment in his hand, so he picked it up and shook it in front of Gu Xi: "What do you think of this folding bucket?"
"This is super convenient to fold. It can be used to fetch water and wash dishes, and this size can also be used to soak feet at night." Dong Mingming continued.
Although Gu Xi didn't know how Dong Mingming wanted to make this bucket complete the work of washing dishes and soaking feet at the same time. However, seeing that this bucket does not require too many redemption points, Gu Xi gritted his teeth and decided to satisfy Dong Mingming's little wish.
"Can you go back now?" After exchanging the bucket, Gu Xi looked at Dong Mingming and asked.
"Well, let's go." Dong Mingming, who had successfully 'consumed', was content with her folding bucket and followed Gu Xijie back to their camping area.
—
The first day of Sutuo activities was mainly about setting up tents, having a picnic, and organizing one's own camping area. There was no centralized competition. Therefore, the rest of the time was left to everyone to make their own arrangements.
When Gu Shao returned to the camping area with the ingredients, he saw Gu Xi, Gu Yanxiao, and Gu Chenyi sitting neatly in front of his tent in a row, and then looked at him eagerly.
Gu Shao glanced at the three of them, his temples jumped, and he asked, "What do you want to eat?"
Gu Chenyi: "Beijing sauce shredded pork!"
Gu Yanxiao: "Sweet and sour pork ribs!"
Gu Xi also thought about it, blinked his eyes, looked at Gu Shao, and said hesitantly, "That pot, pot wrapped meat?"
Gu Shao: "..."
"This is camping." Gu Shao reminded.
Did these three brats think they were eating out
The conditions for outdoor picnics are limited, and there are only a few kinds of ingredients provided in the camping area that are relatively easy to handle, and the condiments are also very simple.
So, shredded pork in Beijing sauce, sweet and sour pork ribs, and pot-wrapped pork... I think too much.
In the end, Gu Shao processed the ingredients and made a 'Buddha Jumps over the Wall' for three people, in other words: a pot of stew.
Gu Shao's movements are quick and easy, and everything is cooked, just the taste...
There really isn't much to say about the taste.
Gu Xi doubted that the noodles that Gu Shao cooked for her at home was already the pinnacle of his cooking skills.
"Don't be picky eaters." Gu Shao said. Moreover, when they really encountered the situation of surviving in the wild, it was like this, what to eat.
Aunt Mei and several chefs from the Gu family have already asked the three people who have mouthed: "..."
Originally, the three of them also pinned their hopes on Dong Mingming's mother.
As a result, reality told them that Dong's mother was unreliable.
Looking at the slightly scorched No. 2 one-pot stew, Mother Dong smiled embarrassedly at the children and said apologetically, "This is the first time I used such a wild stove, and I was a little out of control."
In the end, the snacks that Aunt Mei had brought, and the instant noodles from Sheng Xiuyan and Shen Ye's family became the main dishes. Gu Xi and the others served the main dishes and solved the problem of 'simmering in one pot'. .
Compared with the needless stubbornness of the other groups, Sheng Xiuyan and his uncle never struggled, and simply brought enough instant noodles for two and a half days to eat.
—
After eating, Gu Shao and Dad Dong began to check the situation around their tent. Gu Yanxiao and the others were in charge of cleaning up the fire, while Gu Xi took the pots, dishes and chopsticks to the sink near the supply area to wash dishes.
Because the dishes are very simple, there are not many tableware and chopsticks, Gu Xi quickly washed the tableware and chopsticks, and brought the basin to go back.
At this moment, someone called her not far away.
Gu Xi stopped, turned to look at Song Kexin not far away, and frowned subconsciously—although he heard Song Kexin and Lin Anxin talking during the day, Gu Xi didn't take it too seriously. After all, the two The schools are in different campsites, and even if they are close together, they may not meet.
It's a pity that I didn't expect that I would meet Song Kexin like this.
For Song Kexin, Gu Xi always has an indescribable complexity in her heart: this person is the one who gave birth to her, but after the past 14 years of getting along, this person is very strange to Gu Xi.
Gu Xi was a little confused, bit her lower lip, not knowing what to say.
"Xixi." Song Kexin called Gu Xi first.
Gu Xi looked at Song Kexin.
Song Kexin in front of her didn't seem to be in as good condition as Gu Xi had seen when she was at the Lin family's house. Although she had delicate makeup on her face, she couldn't hide her sickness.
Although she didn't know what happened, Song Kexin seemed anxious and tired at this time.
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
After a while of silence, Gu Xi replied vaguely, "What a coincidence."
Hearing this, Song Kexin nodded and smiled at Gu Xi: "It's a coincidence, I didn't expect your school to camp here in the past."
As for the two meeting here at this time, it is not a coincidence.
—When I heard that the High School Affiliated to A University was also camping here, Song Kexin guessed that Gu Xi might also be here, and she came here specifically to find him.
"..." Gu Xi still didn't speak, lowered her eyes and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, Song Kexin stopped Gu Xi: "Xixi, you wait."
Seeing that Gu Xi had stopped, Song Kexin cast a gentle smile at her and said, "I haven't seen my mother for so long, why didn't I talk to my mother for a while?"
This was the first time Song Kexin spoke to Gu Xi in the same tone as Lin Anxin, and it was also the first time she called herself 'mother' in front of Gu Xi. Such an attitude did not make Gu Xi excited, but made her feel unfamiliar and abrupt.
Seeing that Gu Xi didn't speak, Song Kexin didn't care. After a pause, she continued to ask in a gentle tone, "How are you doing now?"
"It's very good." The short three words seemed full of confidence.
Gu Shao is a good and responsible father, as well as his grandfather, uncle's family, uncle's family, Gu Yanlin, Gu Yanxiao, Gu Chenyi... Everyone treats her very well, and she likes them very much.
Hearing Gu Xi's answer, the expression on Song Kexin's face seemed to stiffen, but she quickly covered it up again.
"Really," Song Kexin smiled stiffly, and added, "You can rest assured that your mother is doing well."
"Prove that it was not a wrong choice for us to let you go and let you follow Mr. Gu."
Song Kexin's words made Gu Xi feel an indescribable discomfort in her heart: they didn't want her, but Gu Shao accepted her, but now it's as if Gu Shao stole her from the Lin family.
Gu Xi frowned deeply, and just wanted to refute, but heard Song Kexin say again: "But the Lin family is always your home. If you feel homesick, you can come back anytime to see your parents."
Hearing this, Gu Xi's brows furrowed even deeper.
In the face of Song Kexin's sudden concern and affection, Gu Xi did not feel happy or surprised at all, on the contrary, she just felt inexplicable.
- This person, suddenly came to tell her what to do? It's impossible for her conscience to suddenly want to make up for her.
Before reading the plot of the novel, Gu Xi would not have such fantasies, let alone now that she knew the plot of the novel.
There was a bit of doubt in her heart, Gu Xi didn't want Song Kexin to waste her words, but the last sentence of the other party made Gu Xi very contradictory.
Gu Xi raised her head to look at Song Kexin, her eyes were firm, and she said word by word, "I don't have a father in the Lin family, Gu Shao is my father."
Moreover, she will not step into the Lin family again.
Before Gu Xi could say the latter sentence, a voice called for her was heard not far away.
It was Gu Yanxiao.
Hearing that Gu Yanxiao was looking for him, Gu Xi did not delay any longer. After taking a look at Song Kexin, he turned around and ran towards Gu Yanxiao.
Finding Gu Xi, Gu Yanxiao breathed a sigh of relief: "Xi Xi, where did you go?"
"Just wash the dishes." Gu Xi said.
"Why don't you put it where you want?" Originally, Gu Yanxiao and the others didn't let Gu Xi do the dishes, but they were there to help Dong Mingming's mother clean up the stove, and when they turned around, Gu Xi took the pots and pans and disappeared. .
As Gu Yanxiao spoke, he took the pile of pots and bowls from Gu Xi's hand.
Seemingly aware of something wrong with Gu Xi's emotions, Gu Yanxiao asked worriedly, "What's wrong with Xi Xi? Did something unpleasant happen?"
"No..." Gu Xi shook his head and gave a reason: "It's a little dark by the pool, and I was a little scared just now."
Hearing this, Gu Yanxiao smiled: "So you are not allowed to go tomorrow, Gu Chenyi and I will just go wash!"
After that, Gu Yanxiao motioned to Gu Xi to speed up his steps: "Come on, come with me."
"What's wrong?" Gu Xi asked suspiciously.
"There are good things!" Gu Yanxiao blinked and said mysteriously, and then brought Gu Xi to their tent.
