Chapter 207: White Radish Scratched
The dog was more sensitive than a human being. White Radish could sense Gu Jiandong's changes. The dog patted Gu Jiandong with its paw, signaling him to give way to it. Gu Jiandong ignored it, patted its head, and drove White Radish out of the room.
He is not a child, why does he need a dog to sleep with him? If this gets back to the army, where will Gu Jiandong put his face?
How could he still have the face? Jiang Ziqiang returned to the army, holding a loud speaker and opening his mouth to say that Gu Jiandong needed someone to coax him to sleep and that Gou Zi should accompany him.
When you meet people in the countryside, they can talk nonstop like a chatterbox, and they can tell you all the embarrassing stories that can be told more than the radio playing on loop.
In the army, in front of his brothers and subordinates, Gu Jiandong was truly a flower on the mountain top. Hearing Jiang Ziqiang say this, his brothers all widened their eyes and couldn't believe it.
Gu Jiandong didn't know that Jiang Ziqiang, the big mouth, had already spread all the stupid things he did that he was embarrassed to think about to the entire team.
He was now sitting on the kang, covering his head with an expressionless face, letting his mind uncontrollably recall over and over again the words he said and the things he did when he became stupid.
Gu Jiandong's toes were about to tear the mat apart. At this moment, he would rather not recover yet.
Or maybe he would rather recover and not remember the days he spent in the countryside after becoming stupid.
No, no, if he didn't remember the days in the countryside, he would forget Shu Yu too! This won't do!
These are the happy, blessed and precious memories he and Shu Yu had in the countryside.
Gu Jiandong thought about all the childish things he did when he became stupid, and kept scratching the mat with his toes awkwardly. He convinced himself that this was not an embarrassing thing, but a happy and joyful time for him and Shu Yu.
Gu Jiandong searched his pocket and took out the photo he always kept in his pocket. The person in the photo was a chubby little girl with two braids. If Old Lady Shen saw it, she would definitely recognize that this was her little girl when she was five years old.
Gu Jiandong looked at the photo, his eyes as gentle as the warm sun.
Shen Shuyu had a good dream last night. When she opened her eyes today, she did not see Gu Jiandong and Bai Luobo in her room. Shen Shuyu got up and went to his room to check, but the guy was still asleep.
Shen Shuyu smiled. It was really rare. It was the first time she saw Gu Jiandong staying in bed.
Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, Shen Shuyu did not wake him up. She washed her face, brushed her teeth, and went to the kitchen to warm herself by the fire with Old Lady Shen. Old Lady Shen used the fire tongs to poke at the stove several times and took out two black potatoes.
"My dear, if you are hungry, eat two baked potatoes first. Breakfast will be ready later."
Old Mrs. Shen took out two sweet potatoes from another stove and said, "We have sweet potatoes too. Do you want roasted potatoes or sweet potatoes, or both? If you want both, let your second aunt peel them for you."
Shen Chunling scooped the pancakes out of the pan, listened to her mother, quickly put down the spatula, and sat down to help her eldest niece peel potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Shen Shuyu is not a child anymore. She doesn't need anyone to peel potatoes or sweet potatoes for her. "Grandma, Second Aunt, I can peel them myself. They taste better when I peel them myself."
Old Lady Shen always follows her granddaughter's wishes. "Chun Ling, you don't have to peel it. Guai Bao can do it yourself. You can make your breakfast."
Shen Chunling got up and continued cooking. Shen Shuyu ate a potato and a sweet potato, and felt full, so she got up and went out to wash her hands, and by the way, she checked to see if Gu Jiandong was awake.
Gu Jiandong's door was open. He was awake and sitting on the kang shaving.
Shen Shuyu didn't find it strange to see him shaving. What was strange was the army green quilt on his kang that was folded neatly like a block of tofu.
Gu Jiandong didn’t fold his quilt before, why did he fold it today?
When Shen Shuyu came in, Gu Jiandong put down his razor and greeted Shen Shuyu, "Shuyu, good morning!"
Seeing her eyes on his quilt, Gu Jiandong raised his chin and asked for credit, "Shu Yu, this is the quilt I folded. Is it beautiful?"
It is indeed very beautiful. This quilt is folded neatly, even more cube-shaped than a tofu block. Shen Shuyu cannot fold a tofu block quilt of this level. "Beautiful, Gu Jiandong is really amazing."
Shen Shuyu noticed the big hole on his mat and asked him, "Gu Jiandong, why is your mat torn? Wasn't it fine last night?"
"It was the dog's paw that scratched me. It scratched me last night while I was sleeping."
White Radish, whose dog head just poked its head into the house, said: "…" What happened? Another pot fell on its head today?
I don’t want to recognize this pot of white radish today, so I turned around and wanted to leave.
Gu Jiandong knew its intention, strode to the door, grabbed White Radish's ears, and dragged White Radish into the house, "White Radish, what's wrong with you? Didn't I tell you not to scratch the mat? Why did you scratch it secretly? Look, there's a big hole!"
Okay, okay, you bully the dog master because he can’t speak, right? If you really make the dog master angry, he will run away from home tomorrow. Let’s see who he will find to take the blame.
Bai Luobo was so angry that he wanted to bite Gu Jiandong and kept cursing at the same time.
However, Shen Shuyu didn't understand what Bai Luobo said, so Gu Jiandong said it was Bai Luobo who scratched her.
Shen Shuyu had no doubt about it. All dogs are like this. They just like to scratch here and bite there.
She touched the dog's head and said, "It's okay if it's scratched. I'll just have breakfast and let Grandpa fix it."
White Radish: It wasn't Mr. Dog who scratched me, it was Gu Gou who scratched me.
This is not the first time that the white radish has been blamed, but today it is the one to take the blame, and it is very angry.
Because Gu Jiandong didn't let it into the house to sleep last night. It was a very cold day, and Bai Luobo slept in the main room last night.
Bai Luobo has always been by Gu Jiandong's side. His temper and habits are all like Gu Jiandong's.
It has been used to sleeping on the kang, and it was a little difficult for it to sleep outside. It didn't sleep well, and then there was a big pot on top of it, so the dog's mood became a little unstable.
Normally, Old Man Shen was very fond of White Radish. It would hide at Old Man Shen's feet with its tail between its legs, whimpering. Whenever Gu Jiandong saw it, White Radish would tremble.
Old man Shen stroked the dog's fur and said with a smile, "Jiandong, are you bullying Bai Luobo? Bai Luobo is just a dog. It doesn't know anything. You have to give in to it."
Gu Jiandong: “…” If Gu Jiandong hadn’t recovered, he would have lay down and rolled around if Bai Luobo had made him so angry.
But now Gu Jiandong has recovered. Although he can pretend, it is difficult for him to roll on the ground.
Gu Jiandong pouted, looking like he was about to cry, more aggrieved and scared than the white radish, "Grandpa Shen, the white radish scratched the mat, I said a few words to it, it barked at me, and it even wanted to bite me."
