Chapter 242 This family is too poor!

Look at the black and purple rice in their bowls. Is this mixed grain rice?

She thought Gu Xiaoxi would bring out all the delicious food for her grandpa and parents to eat!

It seems that Lu Jiansen's family situation is just like that, and his life is not much better than others.

"Did you cook at home? What did you cook?" Jiang Xiuqing suddenly asked.

Gu Xinli nodded, "We are working on it! I will go back first. I don't know where I took them."

"If you have time now, go out and greet them!" Jiang Xiuqing said with difficulty while taking a bite of rice.

Gu Xinli chuckled secretly, turned and left.

When she left, she took a look at Gu Xiaoxi's kitchen.

As soon as she left, Gu Xiaoxi went to lock the gate.

Then she went into the kitchen and brought out a plate of braised hairtail fish and a plate of spicy diced rabbit.

Gu Dachuan was immediately happy, it turned out that his sister only put a plate of salted vegetables on the table to take care of Xinli.

When he ate again, his appetite was much better.

However, when he was almost done with his bowl of rice, with a poached egg and twenty or so large shrimps at the bottom of the bowl, he swallowed and immediately looked at his sister.

"Sister, is there any more food?"

"Yes. Yes."

Gu Xiaoxi walked back to the kitchen and took out three boxes of rice.

Gu Dachuan took a box and started eating without saying a word.

Gu Yimin and Grandpa Jiang also got a box.

Jiang Xiuqing couldn't eat any more and had no intention of ordering more rice.

Gu Xiaoxi didn't want to eat it either, so the box of steaming rice was given to Lu Jiansen.

After the family had dinner, Gu Xiaoxi talked with her parents while Lu Jiansen and Gu Dachuan went to wash the dishes.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Mrs. Gu, Liu Chunhua and their group finally arrived at the military compound.

Gu Xinli originally thought that since her mother came all the way here, she would at least bring something for them.

However, when she entered the house, she realized that they really traveled light, with only a change of clothes and a bag of leftover snacks.

No, his two younger brothers didn’t even bring a change of clothes.

Old Mrs. Gu brought more things, but they were clothes for winter and money and food for herself.

Although she was depressed, she still had to invite people into the house for dinner.

Because they also had to entertain the driver who brought their grandma and mom and their group, dinner was already the most sumptuous meal in their family.

There was a braised fish, carp soup, Chinese cabbage stewed with vermicelli, egg drop soup, salted pork fried with garlic, steamed pumpkin and white rice.

I cooked two soups simply because I only had one egg at home, and the egg drop soup looked larger, so it could be considered a dish.

In that era, the dishes were considered pretty good, but because there were so many people and the portions were so small, all the food on the table was eaten up even though the taste was average.

Even Gu Ercheng and Gu Sanhu were muttering that they were not full.

Mrs. Gu eats quickly and picks up dishes quickly, so she is full.

After eating, she looked around to see where she would stay that night.

When she saw the fluffy and warm quilt in the next room, she immediately went forward and touched it.

It’s actually a new quilt!

"Is this where I sleep? I'm a little sleepy." As Mrs. Gu said this, she had already shaken off the quilt and prepared to go to bed to rest.

Well, this kang is not bad, it’s warm.

Old Mrs. Yin was unhappy when she heard this and quickly rolled up her quilt.

"This is my quilt. You should ask your granddaughter Gu Xiaoxi's family for your quilt. We don't have that many quilts at home."

When Mrs. Gu heard this, she was not going to do it anymore and immediately glared at Gu Xinli, "I am an old man and I came to the army, but I can't even cover myself with a bed quilt? Do you want to freeze me to death?"

Gu Xinli hurried forward to explain, "Grandma, my house caught fire two days ago and two quilts were burned. We don't have enough quilts now. Everyone in the family compound knows about this."

"You've arrived at the army now, why don't you go to Xiaoxi to have a look? She has quilts at home, we can bring back a comfortable one."

Old Lady Gu glanced at her and snorted, "Then go and take a look."

So, a group of people went out in a swarm.

Yin Chunsheng did not join in the fun, but sent his friend out of the family compound.

Because there were so many of them, and their voices were loud, Gu Xiaoxi could hear their voices from far away.

Jiang Xiuqing, who was originally drinking sweet orange juice in small sips, took a few big gulps and finished all the orange juice in the cup.

Grandpa Jiang, who was eating peanuts, stopped eating them and even picked up the shells on the table.

Gu Yimin's hands shook as he drank the tea, and he didn't know whether he should drink the still hot tea.

Gu Dachuan, who was chewing on dried sweet potatoes, also silently put the dried sweet potatoes in his hand into his pocket.

Gu Xiaoxi collected the things on the table, and Lu Jiansen cooperated and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, Mrs. Gu, who was about to knock on the door, took a few steps back in fright when she saw Lu Jiansen's cold and handsome face.

She didn't know why, but she felt a little uneasy when she saw Lu Jiansen.

It's so scary!

With this mood, she decided to see if she could get something to take away and then never come back again.

She really hated Lu Jiansen's cold and grim face.

Lu Jiansen didn't call anyone, but just looked at them quietly, "What's the matter?"

Liu Chunhua shrank her neck and then pulled her daughter out from behind her.

Gu Xinli then spoke awkwardly, "Deputy Captain Lu, my grandmother is also Gu Xiaoxi's grandmother. Is it okay for me to come in and sit with her?"

Lu Jiansen stepped aside but did not stop them from coming in.

Gu Ercheng reacted quickly and immediately squeezed in from outside the door and went in first.

After that, the others were no longer afraid and avoided Lu Jiansen and went into the house.

Gu Xiaoxi also stood up at this time and called Old Lady Gu coldly.

"Grandma, why did you come to Qingbei? Why didn't my grandfather come?"

Old Mrs. Gu snorted twice and said pretentiously, "As a representative of the family, I came to see you and Dali."

"Then please sit down." Gu Xiaoxi stood up and poured her a cup of boiled water.

Seeing that the water was so hot and there was no sugar in it, Mrs. Gu didn't drink a sip and just looked around the room.

When she saw that there were no extra farm tools in the house and there was nothing to eat, she couldn't help but frown.

This family is too poor!

The Chinese New Year is almost here, isn't there any preparation for the New Year at home?

Looking at the two kangs facing each other in the room, not only were they not heated and freezing cold, there was even no quilt on them.

Mrs. Gu took the opportunity to say that the hot water was too hot and wanted to go to the kitchen to add some cold water, then she ran to the kitchen very quickly.

Then she saw a beautiful kitchen, which was clean and tidy, but there was nothing inside.

Liu Chunhua also squeezed in at the right time.

She was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Let me add some sugar to your milk!"

So, she didn't care whether the other party agreed or not and went straight to open the cabinet door.

But when they saw that it was empty inside, they were all stunned.

Gu Xinli didn't believe that Gu Xiaoxi didn't prepare anything, so she asked casually, "Are you afraid there might be a thief in your house, so you locked everything in the room?"
