“It’s fine. I’m not staying here for long anyway and Third Aunt’s leg is recovering soon. I will be returning to our hometown soon! Why would I need a bicycle?”
It was not easy for Third Brother to earn money and she could not bear to let him spend money on these for her.
Gu Jinlin did not reply. His family’s expenses were large and his younger brother just began working not long ago. However, his personal expenses were large too and the salary he earned was only enough to cover his own expenses. Furthermore, the family were reluctant to ask for his pay as he was working outside alone.
Thus, the family’s expenses basically depended on Gu Jinlin and his father.
A bicycle was indeed a hefty sum of money to him and he only got an old one for himself after two years due to his work needs.
But it was truly inconvenient now that his younger sister was here!
He thought: even if he did not buy her a new one, he should at least get her a second-hand one to use it for the time being.
“Look how hot you are. Let’s go! Follow me to the canteen and take a rest there.”
Gu Qingyao indeed felt rather hot after walking all the way here thus she did not reject Gu Jinlin’s suggestion and followed him to their canteen.
The canteen was where the workers ate and all the dishes were free of charge, thus everyone ate here.
Gu Jinlin had always been eating from there too and he even packed meals back home before in order to save some money.
Many people looked in their direction as they walked to the canteen.
The sudden appearance of a beautiful lady piqued everyone’s curiosity and they looked over successively.
Once they reached the canteen, a youngster who had selected their seats waved at Gu Jinlin.
Everyone in the canteen looked over. They couldn’t help it – this young lady was truly beautiful!
When Gu Jinlin brought Gu Qingyao to the table, the youngster who was originally smiling freely widened his eyes when he saw Gu Qingyao.
“Damn! So this is your younger sister?”
Oh lord! Did he see a fairy?
Gu Jinlin lifted his chin up rather proudly. “That’s right. This is my younger sister. She’s especially here to bring me food.”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
That boastful tone!
Gu Jinlin hurriedly told Gu Qingyao to sit down as he also settled down and opened the lunch box.
His eyes widened the moment he saw braised meat, pork rib soup and even braised fish in the lunch box.
“Are… these all for me?”
Gu Qingyao nodded. “Mhm! Have a taste and let me know if they’re good.”
Gu Jinlin hurriedly placed a piece of braised meat in his mouth.
Could it not be tasty?
These were all meat!
He had already had a taste of his younger sister’s culinary skills in their hometown during the new year. Oh, the nostalgia now that he ate her cooking again.
“Wow! It’s delicious!”
Without haste, Gu Jinlin took out the rice compartment, lowered his head and began wolfing down the food. Ji Minghao who saw his behavior could not help but gulp. “Ah… Let me try!”
Gu Jinlin did not stop him. They were good friends and there was no need to be reluctant to share some food.
Ji Minghao quickly picked up some food.
Braised meat, pork rib soup, braised fish, carrot slices and stir-fried vegetables – these were enough for Gu Jinlin to eat.
After eating a bit, Ji Minghao suddenly lost all control and immediately snatched with his chopsticks without saying anything.
This pissed Gu Jinlin off.
“Eh! My younger sister made these for me. Let your younger sister cook for you if you want to eat.”
“Don’t be so petty! Aren’t you pouring cold water on me? Does my younger sister know how to cook? Even if she does, I will not get to eat it as she will finish it all up.”
“Don’t snatch mine.”
“Ah, we are brothers so we should share the food.”
“Who is brothers with you!”
“You!”
