After breakfast, Gu Qiu asked Gu Manyue if there were any other places she wanted to go.
Gu Manyue was going back this afternoon. Letting her play at Gu Fan's house for three days was already the limit of First Aunt.
Gu Qiu did not have the ability to change it yet.
Gu Manyue thought about it and mentioned the aquarium and the zoo.
Although it was a rather childish place, Gu Qiu still satisfied her.
Nowadays, zoos were mostly kept naked in iron cages, which was a little cruel.
Unlike later, in order to humanize animals and give them a feeling of " returning to nature," many zoos chose to make use of the original terrain, vegetation, water, and so on to arrange stadiums and cages for different animals according to their living habits.
The zoo they went to had quite a variety of animals. There were more than 80 kinds of animals. Gu Qiu could only recognize some familiar ones, such as South China tigers, African lions, crocodiles, elephants, golden monkeys, giant pandas, girafs, leopards, gorillas...
Gu Qiu was not very interested. In fact, his biggest feeling was that it was a little smelly. The smell of animal feces was a little strong.
Gu Manyue was especially happy. She could see all kinds of animals mentioned in books and on television. She was in a similar state as a child who came to the zoo for the first time.
"Wow, Qiu, look at those two lions. They're both sleeping.”
"The tiger is too fierce."
"The giant panda is really silly, but it seems to understand me.”
He didn't go to the aquarium because he didn't have enough time.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Manyue returned home and packed her things. She changed into the clothes she had worn when she came, the spring school uniform.
Gu Qiu saw it and asked," Sister Manyue, why are you changing?”
Gu Manyue said," I'm afraid that the new clothes will be damaged on the way.”
"Then wear my shirt. It's such a hot day. I'm afraid you'll get a heatstroke on the way back. It's more than an hour's drive and there are many people.”
"Alright."
Gu Manyue nodded obediently.
Gu Qiu then filled Gu Manyue with shampoo and conditioner.
Gu Manyue looked at her and smiled." Xiao Qiu, there's no need. There's soap at home. Just take a toothbrush and a towel."”
Gu Qiu did not listen to her. He had already packed it in a plastic bag and placed it in her suitcase. He also packed the snacks and fruits that he had bought on the way back.
"I don't lack these at home. Besides, you have to take good care of your expensive hair. You have to know how to keep some snacks for yourself.”
"Just say that I brought the fruits for Auntie and that the clothes were bought with my lucky money. I've worn them here so Auntie probably won't take them away.”
Gu Manyue sniffled, and her eyes turned red again.
Gu Qiu rubbed her head and said," Sister Manyue, wait for me over there. It'll be half a month at most. When my college entrance examination results are out, I'll pick you up."”
At that time, Gu Qiu would have a reason to make First Aunt relent and let Gu Manyue come here during the summer vacation.
"I remember that you still owe me money. Don't think that you can deny it when you get home. I'll definitely ask you for it. Also, remember the driving school information I told you to look at.”
"Yes, yes."
Gu Manyue hummed twice in a low voice.
Gu Qiu then took her luggage and sent her to the bus terminal. Before she got on the bus, he gave her another 100 yuan and told her to take the tricycle back there.
The bus stop was quite far from her house. After getting off the bus, she still had to walk on the dirt road for 20 minutes. It was too tiring to carry so many things.
Gu Qiu warned.
"Don't be reluctant to spend it. Otherwise, it will end up in your brother's hands.”
It was seven o'clock in the evening in a remote mountain village. A few stars could already be seen in the summer sky.
Gu Manyue was sweating profusely and panting as she dragged her luggage home.
"Wretched girl, you're finally willing to come back. What are you waiting for at the door for? Hurry up and put down your things and go cook pig feed. Didn't you hear the hungry pigs barking? Don't think that you're a city person just because you've lived in the city for a few days.”
"What happened to the snacks and fruits in your bag?”
"Cousin bought it. The fruits were specially brought for you.”
"Aiyo, then I didn't dote on my eldest nephew for nothing. When your brother comes back tomorrow, let him bring the snacks back to school. He's studying hard, and that shampoo is so good.”
"Got it."
"Where did you get 100 yuan? You wouldn't steal from your aunt, would you? Wretched girl."
"I didn't. Cousin gave it to me. He told me to take a tricycle back.”
"If you use it, you'll really lose money. You can't even walk back? How could he be so pretentious? I'll take the money. Your brother's clothes are old, so I can buy clothes for him.”
Gu Manyue changed into her old spring school uniform in the room. Her mother's voice and the grunting from the pigsty brought her back to reality.
It was as if those five days in Gu Qiu's house had been a dream that had been pierced through.
"Qiu, you must come and pick me up.”Gu Manyue pressed her face against Gu Qiu's shirt and gently matte it.
At the same time, Gu Qiu was talking to Yang Meijuan at the dinner table about his trip to Shanghai.
After the college entrance examination, students had a special privilege, which was to "do whatever they wanted during the summer vacation."
Yang Meijuan and Old Gu were very satisfied with Gu Qiu's performance during this period.
Yang Meijuan thought for a moment and replied," I can go on a trip, but isn't Shanghai a little too far? Right, son, who are you going with?”
"It's not far. Maybe I'll go there to study in university. It can be considered an early inspection. If it doesn't work, I'll study locally.”Gu Qiu replied.
He was going out to complete the small spending target of one million yuan. He couldn't go with anyone at all. It was too inconvenient.
"Alone? That won't do. It's more than 1000 kilometers away. What if something happens? It's so far away.”Yang Meijuan glared at him and immediately shook her head.
"Mom, what's there to worry about? I'm on a plane and I have a phone. How can I lose it?"”
Yang Meijuan looked at Old Gu and said,"Gu Youwei, you tell me."”
Old Gu asked,"Where's Zhong Wen?" Aren't you going to look for him?"
Gu Qiu replied," He's already gone to the capital to play today. He called me before. Sister Manyue was there, so I didn't go."”
Old Gu thought about it seriously and then said," Go. Gu Qiu is already eighteen years old. When a boy grows up, he will have to go out and explore. Now, going out for a long distance can also be considered as training.”
Gu Qiu quickly said," Thank you, Dad."
Seeing that Old Gu actually dared to oppose her, Yang Meijuan was suddenly unhappy."Old Gu, what did we say when we got married? After we got married, we would listen to you for big things and listen to me for small things. Gu Qiu's trip is a small matter, so he has to listen to me."”
Gu Youwei was speechless.
Wife, ask your conscience. In all these years of marriage, has there ever been anything big in our family?
Two to one, Yang Meijuan was so angry that she didn't even eat and went back to her room to sulk.
Yang Meijuan didn't support it, but she came over at nine o'clock in the evening to give Gu Qiu another three thousand yuan.
Old Gu had already given Gu Qiu five thousand.
Yang Meijuan had to give herself a little more. Money was good for self-defense.
Gu Qiu knew his mother's personality very well.
He had a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
Gu Qiu naturally did not hold back and took the money.
Rejecting her would only make her worry, and she would have to explain for a long time.
Sob, sob, sob
