“I’ve already made the arrangements for my job. I was transferred here and will stay here for a long time for now at least. There’s a dormitory here, but… I wish to rent a house and live outside.”
The smile on Gu Qingyao’s face became even more brilliant.
“I’ll be in the provincial capital from now on and of course I can return home frequently as it is near home. Whether you are in our hometown or here, I will be able to see you frequently.”
Mo Beihan did not reply to the last question. He couldn’t say that he transferred here on purpose because he wanted to see her more frequently, could he?
Gu Qingyao, who was immersed in joy, did not realize this either.
She brought Mo Beihan to the Gu family’s house. The two kids were taken aback to see Mo Beihan and smiled immediately. “Elder Brother Mo!”
Mo Beihan patted their heads and took out some snacks from his bag for the two kids. Subsequently, he greeted Zhou Ping.
Zhou Ping was rather surprised to see Mo Beihan but she did not say much either when she knew that he was here since his job post was transferred here.
Gu Qingyao looked around the kitchen. “There are no ingredients left. Brother Beihan, I’ll go out to buy some ingredients.”
“I’ll go with you.”
Mo Beihan would never let Gu Qingyao go alone. In reality, he wanted to say that she did not need to buy any vegetables and they could just eat anything but he knew that this was someone else’s house.
The men of the Gu family, or rather those with the Gu family name, were pretty good people and treated his Yao Yao really well. This Third Aunt, Zhou Ping, however, was the only exception as she was narrow-minded and petty. Mo Beihan already knew about this in the previous lifetime.
Now that Yao Yao was here, she probably would suffer. So be it if they had to buy ingredients!
He could also take the opportunity to bring Yao Yao out. Anyway, he would spend his money when they bought things.
Gu Qingyao and Mo Beihan headed to the food store together.
Zhou Ping pursed her lips when she watched the two leave the house and did not care about them.
When they reached the food store, not much was left. Although there were still quite a few varieties left, the common items were already bought by others.
There was only about one catty of pork left which did not look that good. However, Gu Qingyao did not care as she still had stock in her interspace. She shall buy it first and just switch it to the meat in her interspace when she goes back to cook.
All was well as long as Zhou Ping and the rest did not realize the extra ingredients that appeared from nowhere.
Gu Qingyao bought one catty of pork, two catties of pork rib. To Gu Qingyao’s surprise, there was actually beef.
Beef was much pricier than pork. Elated, Gu Qingyao bought one catty of beef.
There was still a fish left but it was rather large. In this age, smaller fishes were more popular as not everyone had many coupons and everyone was thrifty in their spendings.
Fortunately, Gu Qingyao had sufficient coupons so she bought a big fish.
The provincial capital was not far away from the sea thus there were relatively many seafoods available. Gu Qingyao saw plenty of big prawns and even some seaweed and bought some of each back.
Lastly, she got two kinds of vegetables before returning home.
The ingredients filled an entire basket.
Mo Beihan took the basket from her and stood at where the sun was shining at to block the sun for her.
“It’s so sunny now. Don’t go out so frequently when it’s hot. The sun is too strong.”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and placed it above her head to block the sunlight.
Gu Qingyao’s heart was filled with bliss.
Once they returned to the Gu family, Gu Qingyao began cooking. Zhou Ping smiled when she saw the number of ingredients she bought. “Yao Yao, you bought so many ingredients again!”
Gu Qingyao could not be bothered with Zhou Ping’s enigmatic statement.
Without caring whether Zhou Ping was suspecting whose money was used to buy the ingredients, Gu Qingyao briefly responded and headed straight to the kitchen.
