Not only did they kill a chicken and a duck, but they also prepared pig's feet and braised pork ribs. Even during the Chinese New Year, the family would not eat this well.

Tao Mingjie saw such a large table of dishes and subconsciously said, "With so many dishes, we won't be able to finish them all."

As soon as he said this, Tao Mingjie was knocked on the head by Ruan Cuifang.

Tao Mingjie still didn't know why he was beaten.

Tao Xiaoya thought that she was almost on the same side as Tao Mingjie, so she kindly reminded her that today was for Gu Changqing to practice, that's why the food was so good.

Gu Changqing will catch the bus to the city early tomorrow morning and take the train, and then return to Huahai City.

Tao Mingjie may have been so bold that he secretly whispered to her, saying that he thought Gu Changqing was his biological son and that he must have picked her up.

"Eat quickly, you will be beaten if your mother hears this." Tao Xiaoya said kindly.

But she was also happy to see such a lively Tao Mingjie.

In his previous life, Tao Mingjie basically never smiled. He always had a dull face and looked emotionless.

"I'm telling the truth." Tao Mingjie said dissatisfied.

Ruan Cuifang was indeed very kind to Gu Changqing, and she was also very kind to her. In contrast, Tao Mingjie, his own son, did not get much benefit from Ruan Cuifang, but suffered a lot.

"I'll take you to eat well this weekend." Tao Xiaoya patted Tao Mingjie on the shoulder.

Gu Changqing saw Tao Xiaoya and Tao Mingjie talking and laughing, and felt that Tao Xiaoya must have calmed down. He was thinking about whether to ask why today.

"Chang Qing, you went to Huahai City. You should take good care of yourself. Mom also prepared bacon for you. You can take it with you." Ruan Cuifang said.

Seeing that Tao Mingjie was about to speak again, Tao Xiaoya quickly stuffed a chicken drumstick into Tao Mingjie's mouth.

There were only three pieces of bacon at home, and Ruan Cuifang had to give at least one piece to Gu Changqing.

"No, after I go back, I will be busy with my thesis. I don't have time to cook by myself. You can keep it for yourself." Gu Changqing replied.

"Mom, I'll go to the kitchen to cut it for you later, and then bring it to Brother Chang Qing. Then I'll just steam it." Tao Xiaoya interjected.

In the countryside, there is nothing worth taking with you, just some local specialties.

But Gu Changqing doesn’t like eggs and duck eggs, so this item is also excluded.

Bacon is almost the best choice, and Ruan Cuifang is also very considerate.

Gu Changqing didn't reply at this time, so Tao Xiaoya took it as Gu Changqing's acquiescence.

Although she already knew that Gu Changqing liked someone else, she still had to go on trying to please Gu Changqing.

Gu Changqing will be the eldest young master of the Pei family in the future. At this time, he must not fall in love with Gu Changqing.

Tao Xiaoya thought about how she had shown off to Gu Changqing just now, so she thought that she should behave well now and serve Master Gu well.

Gu Changqing looked at Tao Xiaoya. Tao Xiaoya had returned to her previous appearance, she was still smiling, and she was still so attentive to him, but he always felt like something was missing.

Ruan Cuifang originally wanted to work on Gu Changqing, but now it seems that she can work on Tao Xiaoya.

Gu Changqing stayed alone in Huahai City and studied so hard. Ruan Cuifang also wanted to provide something as much as possible so that Gu Changqing could live a better life.

Ruan Cuifang is not with Gu Changqing, so she is still a little worried.

In the past, Gu Changqing was as thin as a bamboo pole because he didn't eat well, and he almost fell ill several times.

Liu Fangyun, a mother, really didn't care about her child at all and allowed her to eat sweet potatoes alone to fill her stomach.

After dinner, Ruan Cuifang pulled Tao Xiaoya aside, and then asked Tao Xiaoya what should Gu Changqing take to Huahai City.

Ruan Cuifang prepared a lot of bags, large and small, eight in total.

Even if Gu Changqing could lift it, it would be inconvenient to travel with so many things.

"Mom, you don't need to bring so much," Tao Xiaoya said.

"It's a bit much. So Xiaoya, what can you bring?" Ruan Cuifang asked.

Tao Xiaoya picked through, took out the bacon and some pastries, and stuffed them into a bag.

"Mom, that's it. I'll just put five hundred yuan in it when the time comes." Tao Xiaoya said in a low voice.

"What if Chang Qing opens the bag for inspection?" Ruan Cuifang was originally happy, but then she suddenly thought of this question and asked worriedly.

"I have my own way." Tao Xiaoya said, then she leaned into Ruan Cuifang's ear and told her her own way.

Since his sophomore year, Gu Changqing has not asked for money, and even sends money back during holidays.

Ruan Cuifang thought about this, then searched inside her box and took out a piece of blue cloth.

There must be something wrapped inside the blue cloth. Ruan Cuifang opened the cloth layer by layer in front of Tao Xiaoya, and inside was a wad of money.

Ruan Cuifang handed over the money and said, "Here is the money that Chang Qing sent before. I haven't touched any of it. Please help return it to Chang Qing."

"Mom, this is the money Brother Chang Qing gave you, I can't take it." Tao Xiaoya immediately shook her head.

Gu Changqing was able to go to college only because of Ruan Cuifang's money.

Although the money paid is not too much, the school also provides some bonus subsidies.

But if Ruan Cuifang hadn't given him a helping hand, Gu Changqing would definitely not have been able to study at this university.

Therefore, it is only natural for Gu Changqing to repay Ruan Cuifang. This is the money that Gu Changqing has given out, and Gu Changqing has no intention of getting it back, and it is even less possible for her to help Ruan Cuifang pay it back.

She knew very well Gu Changqing's temperament. She didn't want to please the angry Gu Changqing. This was simply a hellish difficulty.

"Xiaoya, you don't understand. This is the money Chang Qing gave me before, not my money." Ruan Cuifang was a little anxious.

Tao Xiaoya put down what she was holding, closed the doors and windows, and began to guide Ruan Cuifang.

In terms of ownership, this money already belongs to Ruan Cuifang.

Tao Xiaoya made it clear from Gu Changqing's temperament and the ownership of the money.

After Ruan Cuifang heard this, she also felt that what Tao Xiaoya said was reasonable, but she still felt in her heart that the money should be returned.

"Mom, I have already made it clear to you. As for what to do specifically, that is your business. I will not help you pay back the money." Tao Xiaoya said.

Ruan Cuifang stood there with a bewildered expression.
