Gu Xiaobei took over the pickle jar, smiled politely and said, "Thank you, Auntie Wang. We're running low on pickled vegetables at home, so we could definitely use these."
On her way home, she passed by the vegetable market and bought some glass noodles, black fungus, dried shrimp skins and some very large shrimp chips. The items in the market were diverse.
Lu Zhanguo drove first to the township hospital to pick up Guo Huaqiang and return to the base together.
"You wait for me in the car. I'll go up and get Old Guo," Lu Zhanguo said to Gu Xiaobei after parking his car.
"Okay." Gu Xiaobei did not want to go up either. After Lu Zhanguo entered the hospital and she got out of the car to stretch her limbs a bit, she was also a bit tired from sitting in the car for over two hours.
"Sister Xiaobei?" Someone called out timidly from behind her.
Gu Xiaobei turned around to see Liu Cuicui standing there, awkwardly fiddling with her fingers.
