Idle Chats in the 60s

Jiang Mengxue dreamed that she would return to several decades ago. She decisively sold all her property and filled the warehouse space of the bracelet left by her grandmother.

When Gu Qingbe...

Chapter 327 Calligraphy

Gu Qingbei is a rough guy, and his favorite things are all kinds of weapons and guns.

Although he is a good student, to be honest, studying is still a bit of a headache for him.

So he wanted his children to study hard and make progress every day.

But Jiang Mengxue really wanted to say, this thing, it is very likely that the more you think about it, the less there will be.

But looking at Gu Qingbei, his eyes were shining and his face was full of longing.

Just wait for Jiang Mengxue to nod in agreement.

Jiang Mengxue swallowed the spoiling words she wanted to say.

She forced a smile and agreed with Gu Qingbei: "I think it's great too. Let's call it that. What's the nickname? We can't always call it by its full name, right?"

Gu Qingbei has almost used up all his brain cells just trying to come up with a name.

"Why don't you come up with a nickname? Nicknames are simpler."

Jiang Mengxue closed her eyes and thought, wondering what to call her.

A nickname can be cute, childish and easy to remember.

"Well, I hope he has ink in his belly, so let's call him Mobao, right?"

Guqin next door breathed a sigh of relief.

"That scared me, I thought you wanted to say Mo Shui.

Mobao sounds nice, so let’s call it that.”

Jiang Mengxue burst out laughing.

Even if she was unreliable, she couldn't have named her child Mo Shui, right? Her purpose was too obvious.

Gu Qingbei was a little excited. He put his face close to his belly and started mumbling, "Did you hear that, baby? You have a name now, Gu Chaoyan, nicknamed Mobao. Are you happy?"

This name has much more depth than mine.

When I was born, my mother wanted me to be a clean and honest person, but my father said that my family was from the north, so I should have the word "bei" in my name, so he named me Qingbei.

Jiang Mengxue only then knew the origin of Gu Qingbei's name.

I was a little surprised: "I thought it was because I wanted you to study hard and get into Tsinghua University or Peking University. Is it really that simple?"

Gu Qingbei didn't expect that his name had another interpretation.

After thinking for a few seconds, he nodded: "This is what my name means from now on."

——

The next morning we had noodles.

I used the broth from last night's meat cooking, and it tasted pretty good.

The meat has been taken out and fills up a large bowl.

I picked out several pieces, both fat and thin, and put them in a small basin.

Put it on the kitchen table: "Xiaobei, take the meat to your uncle's house later.

For the remaining ones, wait for your aunt and Erhe to come over in the afternoon, take some back to them, and send some to Xiaoxue's parents' home.

It will take quite some time for our family to eat just this."

Jiang Mengxue didn't go to the clinic today.

My aunt and Erhe came here by bicycle, probably not long after breakfast.

Seeing them arrive, Li Cuiying ran to Liu's house to call for help.

Jiang Mengxue and the others stayed at home to prepare dinner.

"My goodness, why is there so much meat? Did you kill a pig? I didn't see you raise pigs at home."

"It's Xiaobei again. I went up the mountain to hunt a wild boar yesterday. Bring some back with you later. Erhe should also bring some. It's hard to preserve in this hot weather. I've sprinkled salt on the uncooked ones and put them aside. You should cook them and eat them when you get back."

In the summer, you can’t even make bacon. Even if you add more salt, it won’t last for a few days.

Gu Meifeng originally wanted to say no, but when she saw the room full of meat, she swallowed her words of refusal.

Oh my God, even if I eat meat as a meal, I might not be able to finish it in a few days.

No wonder I saw Dahei chewing on a big bone outside just now. There was still a lot of meat on it.

Gu Meifeng originally wanted to say that it was really generous of them to even feed the dog with meat.

“Then I won’t be polite with you.

But Xiaobei, don't touch this big thing again. Xiaoxue has to worry about you even though she's pregnant. You don't need these things at home, so don't take the risk."

Looking at the big pig head and pork elbow braised in the pot, you can imagine how big the wild boar is.

A domestic pig of this size is difficult enough to deal with, let alone a wild boar, whose fangs are not to be trifled with.

Wild boars are omnivores and will not let go of any meat they can catch.

Gu Qingbei did not refute and nodded in agreement.

Without saying anything more to his aunt, Gu Qingbei went to the side to find Erhe who was working. Jiang Mengxue was also telling Erhe what he would do in a while.

"Da Ya's mother will surely come over soon, relax a little, don't be embarrassed,

"I'll let you two talk alone and serve you some snacks, okay? There's a lot of delicious food on the table. I'll give the girl malted milk and some cookies and candies. She's shy, so you have to take the initiative, okay?"

The things were prepared by Gu Qingbei. He always felt that their previous blind date was too simple and did not give him room to perform, so he was well prepared for Erhe's blind date this time.

"By the way, Xiaoxue, I had a watermelon in my bag when I came back. I put it in the bucket this morning to keep it cool. I'll cut it up later."

In fact, he didn't bring back any watermelon, he just wanted to remind Jiang Mengxue to take one out.

Jiang Mengxue has work to do, so she has no time.

“It’s in our room, go get it.

We've also planted a few in our backyard, and they've grown quite a bit. I'll pick one for the eldest daughter to eat later, and pick a few for my younger aunt Erhe as well."

Summer is the season for eating fruits and melons. Jiang Mengxue got a lot of fruits and melons in the backyard of the Gu family.

There are also cantaloupes and melons, which all mature in these months.

Other families rarely plant it. After all, it is not food, it can only satisfy their appetite, so there is no need to waste space. If they have the space, they might as well plant more food.

Seeing that it was almost time, Gu Qingbei went back to the room and took out the watermelon. It was a Black Beauty watermelon, big and sweet, but the skin was a bit thick.

I told the Liu family yesterday that we would meet today.

So Sun Fenfen didn't go to work early in the morning and asked Liu Daya to dress up at home.

Because time was tight, I didn’t have time to make a new set of clothes for Daya.

Sun Fenfen could only take out the clothes with the least patches from her closet and let Daya wear them.

This piece was made when she was young. After she had children and grew older, she rarely wore bright colors.

It fits Daya perfectly now.

"We still have some cloth coupons at home. When I have some free time in the next couple of days, I'll go to the commune and buy some cloth to make you some new clothes."

Liu Daya felt particularly uncomfortable when she put on the pink clothes.

From childhood to adulthood, the clothes she wore were the same as the old lady's, basically either black or gray.

I never wear brightly colored clothes.

Just at this time, Li Cuiying came over.

"They've already arrived at my house, Daya Niang, are you ready?

"Why doesn't Daya's father go and take a look at that?"

Li Cuiying walked into the yard and looked around, but didn't see Liu Erhai.

"He's gone to work. I can just take Daya to see him. There's no need for the whole family to take leave."

In fact, Sun Fenfen was worried that Liu Erhai would be stupid and say something unpleasant.

Daya can decide her own marriage.

As long as you are a good person and have a harmonious family, you don’t have to worry about being poor.

Sun Fenfen doesn't want her daughter to live the same life as herself after getting married.

If your family is not harmonious, you will suffer injustice for the rest of your life.
