Don't think of rebirth.

After school, Xia He ran over again, wanting to go home with Gu Qinghuan. When she learned that the three of them were going to eat fried skewers, she wanted to follow them.

Jiang Chuchu wanted to refuse but didn't dare to. Just as she was struggling, Gu Qinghuan said, "I'll bring you with me next time. Today is our girlfriends' dinner."

Xia He put on a cute face and said, "I can go and pay for my sister."

"We have money." Gu Qinghuan refused without hesitation.

Xia He's expression suddenly fell. She put her arms behind her back and rubbed the ground with her toes, mumbling, "I just want to stay with my sister for a while longer."

"But I have an appointment today, so let's wait for next time. Next time you can send me a message first and wait for my reply, so you don't have to make a wasted trip." Gu Qinghuan shook his phone.

Even though they had only known each other for a few days, Xia He knew that once Gu Qinghuan made a decision, he would not change his mind.

He said in a well-behaved and sensible tone: "Then I will go back by myself today."

Gu Qinghuan nodded and stretched out her hand to him again: "Your arm, let me check it."

Xia He extended her arm.

There are seven scars today as well. The scab on the one closest to the wrist looks very old and will probably fall off after the weekend.

Gu Qinghuan let go of Xia He's arm with satisfaction: "Keep it up, maybe I'll treat you to fried chicken and milk tea on Monday."

Xia He was a little surprised. He thought he had to wait until all the scars disappeared. Unexpectedly, Gu Qinghuan meant that she would treat everyone for a meal every time one disappeared?

What a pity! He should have scratched his arm a dozen times, then he would have had more chances, right?

His regret was so obvious that Gu Qinghuan was speechless. She decisively ignored him and immediately followed Jiang Chuchu and Yu Xin after saying goodbye. Then she got in Jiang Chuchu's car and the three of them headed for the snack street.

It was already school's end time, and the snack street was busy, so they got off the bus early at the previous intersection so the driver could turn and go to the parking lot on the other side.

Yu Xin was held between Gu Qinghuan and Jiang Chuchu. She was a little nervous and wanted to lower her head, but Gu Qinghuan called her back, "Xinbao, do you want to eat anything else besides fried skewers?"

"What is that?" Jiang Chuchu pointed to a stall.

"Egg burger." Yu Xin looked over subconsciously and answered.

"Hamburger?" Jiang Chuchu gestured in disbelief. This wasn't what she knew a hamburger to look like, right?

Gu Qinghuan rushed over and bought three non-spicy egg burgers, then came back and stuffed them into Jiang Chuchu and Yu Xin's hands: "Eat!"

Because it had been on the shelf for a while, the egg burger wasn’t very hot, and it was still relatively cool today, so the temperature was just right when you put it in your mouth.

Jiang Chuchu took a skeptical bite, and the crispy fried shell broke with a sound, revealing tough dough filling, tender egg whites and soft yolks mixed with salty meat patties, with distinct layers. This egg burger also had some pickled mustard tubers in it, which was sweet and crispy. When mixed together and chewed in the mouth, the taste was quite rich.

Yu Xin finished eating first, while Gu Qinghuan was slower. Seeing that Jiang Chuchu was still eating, the two of them dragged Jiang Chuchu to buy fried skewers.

When Jiang Chuchu finished eating the egg burger when she arrived at the fried skewers stall, she said vaguely, "It tastes pretty good. Judging from the filling, it is indeed a burger."

Gu Qinghuan stuffed the basket from the fried skewers stall into Jiang Chuchu's hands: "Choose your skewers!"

As a result, Jiang Chuchu chose a bunch of skewers that she couldn't finish by herself.

Gu Qinghuan and Yu Xin finished their selection first, and then went to the stall next door to buy hand-made lemon tea. When they came back and saw the two baskets piled up like a mountain in front of Jiang Chuchu, they were shocked: "You picked so much, you can't finish it!"

"I'll take it home to eat." Jiang Chuchu remained calm.

"Did your mother let you eat?" Gu Qinghuan poked her arm.

Her family is quite tolerant when it comes to takeout, but the situation at Jiang Chuchu's home is not certain.

Jiang Chuchu thought about her family's diet and felt a little guilty, but still said, "I'll hide in my room and eat when the time comes."

Fortunately, the driver came over quickly and was able to help Jiang Chuchu carry the bags, otherwise she would not be able to carry such a large pile of fried skewers.

The three of them ate and chatted in the car. Jiang Chuchu sent Gu Qinghuan and Yu Xin home one by one, and then returned to her own home.

When the butler came to pick her up, the car door opened and the aroma of fried skewers hit his face, and he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

Jiang Chuchu poked her head out of the car and asked, "Is my mom back?"

"Madam is back." The housekeeper said with sympathy.

Jiang Chuchu's face froze, but she still held on, asked the housekeeper to help her take the fried skewers, and walked home in small steps.

As soon as she entered the door, Jiang Chuchu shouted, "Mom, I bought some food!"

Jiang Chuchu's mother is Zhu Qinglan. When the marriage was arranged, the Zhu family and the Jiang family were considered a strong alliance. However, something happened to the Jiang family at that time, so the Zhu family found an excuse to change the original marriage partner and replaced their most favored daughter with the inconspicuous Zhu Qinglan.

After Zhu Qinglan gave birth to Jiang Chuchu, the Jiang family's problems were solved and they even got better. Jiang Youwei and Zhu Qinglan had a good relationship, and the Jiang family had a good impression of Zhu Qinglan, so they didn't care about the Zhu family's change of engagement partner.

Zhu Qinglan knew clearly that she was used as a shield by the Zhu family, so she had been living cautiously over the years, trying hard to be a good "Mrs. Jiang".

When Zhu Qinglan heard the servant say that Jiang Chuchu had returned, she was about to greet her with a smile when she heard her shout this.

What follows is the overbearing and strong aroma of the fried skewers.

Zhu Qinglan's face froze, but she couldn't help but take a breath.

In the past, the one who was favored the most was her elder sister, Zhu Manyu. Because Zhu Manyu pursued slimness, her family indulged her and her three meals a day were nutritious enough. However, at least for Zhu Qinglan, low-salt and low-fat foods were not tasty at all.

At that time, she often went out secretly to buy food after school. Anyway, her parents were busy accompanying Zhu Manyu and didn't pay any attention to her at all.

Until something happened to the Jiang family, her parents felt that they could not let Zhu Manyu get involved in this mess, and wanted her to fulfill the marriage contract on behalf of her sister. They thought she was too fat, so they ordered her to lose weight.

After the marriage, the Jiang family was unhappy about the change of engagement partner. Although they were not harsh on her, they still complained occasionally.

Zhu Qinglan was worried and had no appetite. She had severe morning sickness during pregnancy and had to regain her figure after giving birth, so she continued her habit of light eating.

But today, smelling the fried skewers her daughter brought back, Zhu Qinglan suddenly began to doubt whether she had really developed such an eating habit, or was it just a form of obedience?

For her daughter's health, she also looked up a lot of information. She was 1.7 meters tall and weighed 60 kilograms. Where did she get fat? Why was she ordered by her parents to lose weight?

It’s just because Zhu Manyu is too thin. She is also 1.7 meters tall and weighs only 45 kilograms. She is the one who is unhealthily thin.

"Mom?" Jiang Chuchu called out carefully. Could it be that her mother was angry about the fried skewers?

Zhu Qinglan came back to her senses and felt relieved: "It's okay, did you buy something delicious? Let mom have a taste too?"

Jiang Chuchu was relieved immediately and urged the housekeeper to bring the fried skewers over: "Fried skewers! My classmate took me to buy them. She said her store has the best business over there."

Zhu Qinglan picked a skewer of fried pork tenderloin. After taking a bite, the oily meat flavor immediately filled her mouth.

This one is still delicious, she thought, and took another big bite.
