Gu Changsong gasped in shock; he hadn't expected Fan Mudong to use this tactic.
He held Fan Mudong's small hand and said teasingly, "Is this the secret weapon your mother-in-law taught you?"
Fan Mudong became even more shy, pinching the soft flesh of Gu Changsong's waist tightly, feeling furious inside.
That jerk, he just keeps bringing up the very things he doesn't want to talk about.
Gu Changsong held Fan Mudong's soft hand and gently comforted her, "Don't worry, my mom definitely won't take our money."
My parents always say that they are still young and can still work hard. They are the ones who grow the mushroom spawn for all four of our families.
My eldest brother did the same thing. If you don't want it, then my eldest brother and third brother will also be in an awkward position.
This is the meaning of "not worrying about scarcity but worrying about inequality."
Fan Mudong said worriedly, "Won't Mom and Dad be too tired?"
Gu Changsong sighed and said, "Yes. But that's how my parents are. They'd rather suffer themselves than let their children suffer. They always say that if they do more, their children will have less to do."
Fan Mudong said, "Then let's buy more things for Mom and Dad. We get meat coupons every month, and I can get some other coupons from my dad, or exchange them with colleagues for meat coupons or something. There are also cloth coupons..."
Fan Mudong chattered on and on, but Gu Changsong felt that this kind of life was really comfortable.
Gu Changsong said, "Don't worry, our Red Flag Brigade has no shortage of meat. Have you forgotten? The first thing Yunyang did when he came here was to get our cattle and pig farming businesses started."
Our Hongqi Brigade now has more than ten cows and slaughters more than twenty pigs every month.
Every month, the Red Flag Brigade slaughters a pig and sets aside a portion for the brigade members to enjoy. The other brigades are so envious of us!
Fan Mudong's household registration was moved to the commune with his father when he was young, so he was entitled to a government-subsidized grain ration.
Therefore, she was not qualified to buy meat at the Hongqi Brigade.
This is something that truly makes many people in other brigades envious.
However, now that Fan Mudong is married to Gu Changsong, although they have jobs, their household registration is still in the commune.
But they are qualified to buy meat.
Gu Changsong added, "Also, Yunyang mails things to my parents every month. We don't lack anything at home. My mom had been telling Yunyang to stop sending things back. We have so much stuff that we can't use it all; it's such a waste."
Fan Mudong then realized that there were so many things in the house that he couldn't possibly use them all.
She recalled how Gu Changsong often took things from her home when they were dating.
She thought Gu Changsong had gotten them from outside.
Thinking back now, I guess it was taken from home.
Gu Yunyang coughed and reminded him, "That's enough. Second brother, you can get off the carriage now, but can you carry it? Do you want to ask eldest brother to help you for a while?"
Men and women should not have physical contact, although Gu Yunyang was not feudal.
But Gu Changsong might mind these things.
Gu Changsong laughed and scolded, "Looking down on me? In previous years, when I delivered the grain to the grain depot, I could carry it directly to the warehouse. It's so light in late winter, how could I not be able to carry it?"
As it turned out, he had indeed overestimated himself.
For several years, they haven't been allowed to carry the grain they deliver; oxcarts and tractors have taken over.
Gu Changsong usually drives a car, so he has far fewer opportunities to do manual labor.
That strength is much less.
However, having already made that boast, he was too embarrassed to ask anyone for help.
Gritting his teeth, Gu Changsong carried his wife back home on his back.
Gu Hanping and Hao Pingping instructed the chef to start cooking, and soon they would be ready to begin the feast.
After a long while, Gu Hanping said to Gu Yunyang, "Why don't you go and call him? It's broad daylight, and he's just staying inside. People will laugh at him."
