Chapter 173: A Large Apple (2)
Gu Qingyao looked at the large apple in her hand and bit into it with a loud “crunch”!
Gu Jinlin was shocked!
When he snapped to his senses, he became frantic. “Ai... girl, this is... such a waste. The apple will spoil. I’ll yell for our grandparents.”
With that, Gu Jinlin turned and was about to run out.
Gu Qingyao grabbed him. “Come back! I have more for our grandparents! This is for you.”
Gu Jinlin could not bear to eat it.
Gu Qingyao turned and took another from her bag.
Gu Jinlin was stunned.
Gu Qingyao opened her mouth and with another “crunch”, bit into the other apple.
Gu Jinlin could not bear it. “Don’t do that!”
Gu Jinlin’s heart ached when he saw the girl bite into the apple. Such a waste! It was such a waste!
Gu Qingyao stuffed one of the apples in Gu Jinlin’s mouth. “Hurry up and eat it. If you wait too long, it will spoil. I have more!”
Gu Jinlin did not know what to say.
Gu Qingyao raised a brow. “If you don’t eat it, I’ll bite the other apple too!”
“Don’t! You mustn’t!”
Gu Qingyao crunched the apple.
Gu Jinlin almost drooled as he looked at her. His younger cousin had forcefully pushed it into his mouth and it was right there. Gu Qingyao had already bitten that area, and he could taste the apple. His tongue touched it. It was just too delicious.
It was tart with the unique fragrance that fruits had. It was much nicer than the apples he had eaten before.
Gu Qingyao crunched loudly. It was just too tempting and Gu Jinlin could not bear it any longer. He finally took the apple and contentedly crunched into it.
He was a young fellow with a big appetite. He was not full even after eating the entire large apple.
Gu Qingyao had a small appetite. She had enough after eating half of hers, so she gave the other half to Gu Jinlin.
They were as close as brother and sister, and had always been intimate. So he did not feel unable to eat something that his younger cousin had already bitten.
Among the younger generation, the five older cousins were grown up. Yao Yao was younger, and a girl. So the older cousins had always treated her like a delicate maiden.
They had doted on her, spoiled her and treated her as the apple of their eye!
It was the middle of winter, but Gu Jinlin did not feel that the apple was too cooling. He was replete after eating one and a half apples.
Gu Qingyao laughed. “Third Elder Brother, as you stick with me, I guarantee that you will live in the lap of luxury.”
Gu Jinlin guffawed. He thought his younger cousin was joking, and did not take her seriously.
In his heart, as the older cousin, he should take care of his younger cousin.
But a few years into the future, he finally realized what she meant by living in the lap of luxury.
Once the era of freedom arrived, the older cousins, and even the younger ones... flourished!
Gu Conghua, Wen Ruyu and Gu Yunshen returned. Gu Jinlin wanted them to eat the apples, but Gu Qingyao sat at the stove and took out two mandarin oranges. She thrust them onto branches and placed them on the fire to toast.
“The apples are a little too cooling. It’s better for Grandma to eat these mandarin oranges. They’ll be hot after I toast them!”
Gu Jinlin: “...”
Gu Yunshen glanced at Gu Jinlin. “You’ve eaten the apples?”
Gu Jinlin did not reply, but Gu Qingyao said, “He has. He ate one and a half. I ate the other half.”
Gu Yunshen knew how big Gu Qingyao’s apples were. When he heard that this fellow had eaten one and a half apples, he gave Gu Jinlin a look. “Aren’t you afraid you’ll get diarrhea from eating so much in the middle of winter?”
Gu Jinlin: “...”
He was healthy and had a good digestive system. He had been so excited to see the apples, he did not care whether he got diarrhea or not!
Besides, considering his health, he definitely would not have diarrhea. He was not that delicate!
But why was his youngest uncle’s tone so calm?
Then he looked at his grandparents. They were also unbelievably calm.
At that moment, a fragrant, charred mandarin orange appeared before his eyes. “Elder Brother, this is for you!”
Gu Jinlin: “...”
