Gu Changbai was initially a little jealous because his mother served food to others but not to him.

I'm your real son.

That's meat. Our family only eats it once every ten days or half a month.

Chickens are only slaughtered when they are old enough to stop laying eggs, either for the Chinese New Year.

Often, they would have to sell them at the supply and marketing cooperative to get money to buy daily necessities.

For example, salt.

But he picked up a piece of chicken with his chopsticks, took a bite, and then spat it out: "Mom, is salt free for us?"

Hao Pingping was taken aback and looked at Gu Yunyang, who smiled gently.

Hao Pingping said apologetically, "Oh dear, you child, you didn't say anything even though it was salty, and you still ate it all."

As she spoke, Hao Pingping slapped Gu Hanping, who was watching the show from the side, knocking the pipe he had taken out to his hand.

"And you, at your age, still can't do things properly. The chicken was too salty, and you didn't even tell me. I could have reprocessed it."

Gu Hanping twitched his lips: "I thought you knew, didn't I? You ate two pieces yourself, didn't you?"

Gu Yunyang also sighed.

Good heavens, a huge plate of chicken. It looks like they killed the chicken and stir-fried most of it.

A small portion was used to make chicken soup.

As a result, Hao Pingping couldn't bear to eat any of it and saved it all to serve the guests.

Yes, this guest is Gu Yunyang.

Before, when she was eating alone, she kept thinking about her grandson Gu Gaoyang, and the food tasted bland.

So they didn't notice it.

"I'll take this and process it a bit. I'll add some mushrooms and stir-fry it, and the taste will be about right. Speaking of these mushrooms, they're the ones you had someone grow before, Yunyang. We've collected and dried all of yours for you. We've put them in the side room for you, did you see them?"

“Honglan and the others also harvested over 100 jin (50 kg) and gave some to us. I plan to stir-fry some tomorrow, so I soaked it before stir-frying to avoid it being too salty.”

This statement both mentioned that she had helped Gu Yunyang harvest mushrooms before, and that these mushrooms were given to her by Gu Honglan.

To avoid Gu Yunyang suspecting that she had taken his mushrooms.

But in reality, Gu Yunyang didn't care about any of that.

How many mushrooms are there?

“It’s alright, you can pick them anytime you want. The second batch of mushrooms should be ready in about a week. I plan to pick some in a few days and take them to the supply and marketing cooperative to see Director Yan. We’ll set a price then. By the way, Auntie, would you like to grow mushrooms? I’ll give you priority in getting mushroom bags.”

Due to limited materials, the mining robots he deployed have not yet found all the materials.

But that's about right.

Hao Pingping quickly stir-fried the mushrooms in the kitchen, which neutralized the saltiness of the dish.

Gu Yunyang was indeed hungry, so he ate three large bowls of white rice with chicken and vegetables.

Gu Changbai ate two bowls.

It wasn't that he couldn't eat anymore, it was that there was no more rice. Hao Pingping left him two bowls of sweet potato rice.

There wasn't much white rice inside; it was mostly sweet potato.

Gu Changbai was still eating with his mouth full of oil, and he was very happy.

There wasn't enough white rice, but there was plenty of chicken.

Hao Pingping didn't interfere today because it was Gu Yunyang's first time having dinner at her home, nor did she think about leaving any food for him.

They ate all of it in one meal.

In fact, Gu Yunyang was not short of meat at all. Later, Gu Yunyang planned to send more meat to Gu Hanping and the others.

Having a relative you can keep in touch with is also a good thing.

You won't always feel like you have no one to rely on and are wandering around.

People, after all, need to have roots.
