"Which thief knew my younger brother was away on a business trip and deliberately came here to steal things? How arrogant! They didn't even leave and were even cooking at my younger brother's house?"
If you had that money to buy meat, what else would you be stealing?
Wait, could that meat have been stolen?
"Where did this come from...?"
Gu Hongtao rushed in, but saw Gu Yunyang dressed in comfortable home clothes, standing in the kitchen cooking.
Hearing the noise outside, Gu Yunyang looked over and saw Gu Hongtao pick up a broom next to the courtyard wall, intending to rush over and hit someone.
"What's this?" Gu Yunyang realized something almost instantly: "The food is ready. You've come at the perfect time, let's eat together."
Gu Hongtao blushed, somewhat embarrassed: "Xiao...when did you get back?"
"I came back in the afternoon. I took a nap and decided to go back to the brigade tomorrow. You got your own food, so just come over and eat. I made a lot of dishes."
It's more than just a lot.
Gu Hongtao saw that there were five large plates on the table.
The braised pork belly was a beautiful reddish-brown color, glistening and translucent, clearly well-cooked and incredibly delicious.
The pig's trotters over there were also cooked to a very appealing degree, covered in chili peppers, and looked... a bit spicy.
They weren't used to spicy food, but over the past few days, they've been able to eat some spicy food.
When Gu Yunyang treated them to meals, there were many dishes that were not spicy, or even not spicy at all.
But there will also be one or two very spicy dishes.
They thought it looked appealing, so they gave it a try.
It's really spicy, but also very satisfying.
It's the kind of food you can't finish, but you keep thinking about it.
The sight of that braised pork knuckle made her mouth water.
There's also a dish called eggplant stir-fried with green beans, which is a very strange recipe.
Gu Yunyang really likes this dish, so he often cooks it.
In fact, locals rarely eat bok choy because it's a cabbage seedling that hasn't grown up yet. If it's eaten directly, there won't be much cabbage harvested later.
But Gu Yunyang really liked to eat it, and he would often pull out the bok choy as soon as it sprouted and stir-fry it.
They all felt it was too wasteful.
But gradually, they realized: "My brother has money and the ability to make money, so there's no need to be so stingy."
Yeah, they think it's stingy.
In reality, what's wrong with simply being kinder to yourself and treating yourself well?
"Come and eat. I probably had a feeling someone would come over tonight, so I made a little extra."
Gu Hongtao didn't say much. Her younger brother was healthy and strong, but he also had a big appetite.
There are so many dishes, my younger brother could eat them all by himself.
She didn't say much; Gu Yunyang earned it himself, so she had no right to say anything.
You should save your money, find a girl, get married, have a child, and you'll be able to live a good life.
Gu Yunyang can make money, so she'd better not say anything more.
Gu Hongtao thoroughly enjoyed the meal.
If Gu Yunyang hadn't casually asked, "I went out for a while and came back today. It seems a lot has happened at the commune. I hope it hasn't affected you?"
Gu Hongtao was caught off guard and gave herself away.
While she was trying to cover it up, Gu Yunyang chuckled and said, "Just tell me straight. I know a few people in the commune. Do you think you can hide it from me?"
You can't expect me to ask other people, can you? I'm being forced to keep it from my own family.
Gu Hongtao was touched; she knew her younger brother considered them family.
The reason they didn't admit it was to avoid Gu Hansheng and Ning An from attaching themselves to them.
She felt that her parents had gone too far.
I've never enjoyed their care, so why should they fawn over me?
"I……"
Gu Hongtao hesitated for a moment, and under Gu Yunyang's insightful gaze, she slowly said, "It's nothing, it's just that the team leader gave me a lot of materials, and I'm not allowed to leave work until I finish them."
