Chapter 285 Everyone gathers together to eat hot pot
Gu Yuehuai stood beside Yan Shaoyu and said, "Third brother, take Shaoyang back first, we will walk slowly."
The cow is the team’s treasure, and we don’t want to tire it out. It won’t take long for it to get back from the county hospital.
Gu Xihuai thought about it and nodded, "Okay, then you guys can go back slowly, we'll leave first."
After saying this, he drove the ox cart away from the county hospital.
Gu Yuehuai tilted his head to look at Yan Shaoyu, and said with a smile: "Shall we go too? We can't stay at the educated youth point anymore, but our family has prepared new bedding. Ahem, Yan Zhiqing, do you think I have the honor to invite you to live at home?"
She blinked her glassy cat eyes, and there was a hint of teasing in her voice.
Facing Gu Yuehuai's clear gaze, Yan Shaoyu's eyelashes as black as crow feathers lightly blinked, and those peach blossom eyes that were usually indifferent and indifferent were stained with some inexplicable emotions. His Adam's apple slid up and down, and he said seriously: "Then I'm sorry to bother you."
Hearing this, Gu Yuehuai's eyes curved into crescents and she pulled his hand.
Yan Shaoyu didn't shy away from it and held her slightly cold fingers with his backhand.
The two of them were not so shameless that they went back holding hands. After all, this was an era where holding hands was taboo. On the way back, the two of them did not speak again, but occasionally smiled at each other, and it felt that even the air became sweet.
When I returned to the Dalaozi Production Brigade, the brigade was bustling and lively.
Yan Shaoyu's eyebrows moved slightly, and his eyes revealed some doubts: "What happened?"
He was about to leave and really didn't want any complications to arise, otherwise he would not be able to rest assured.
Gu Yuehuai was very calm. He looked in the direction of the feeding area and said, "The team should have distributed food. You know the situation is different this year. Food must be distributed evenly. It's normal to have some trouble. It's okay. Let's go home first."
Yan Shaoyu nodded, glanced in the direction of the educated youth point, and prepared to come back later to get his things.
He didn't have much luggage, just a quilt and some toiletries.
When I returned to the Gu family, Gu Tinghuai and Yan Shaoli were busy in the yard. It turned out that they had opened the cellar and were preparing to put the yam beans and some cabbage and potatoes that they had distributed into the cellar.
"Brother!" As soon as he saw Yan Shaoyu, Yan Shaoli came up to him happily.
Yan Shaoyu hummed and asked, "Are Shaoyang and Xihuai back?"
Yan Shaoli nodded with a smile: "Yes, he is already lying in the room. Third Brother Gu is taking care of Shaotang and reading with Second Brother. I see that Second Brother is in good spirits and should be able to recover soon."
Yan Shaoyu nodded, entered the yard, and said to Gu Tinghuai: "Brother Gu, thank you for your hard work during this period."
Gu Tinghuai turned his head to look at Yan Shaoyu. The young man was very tall, half a head taller than him when standing next to him. He had a very handsome face, with peach blossom eyes, a high nose bridge, and always had a pair of bright red lips. He was even more beautiful than a woman.
He nodded with mixed feelings, then looked past him at Gu Yuehuai.
After seeing this, my originally complicated emotions calmed down a little. After all, I am not much worse than others in appearance. Otherwise, standing together with others, they would seem mismatched, right?
Gu Yuehuai noticed his gaze and looked a little suspicious.
Gu Tinghuai quickly looked away and said politely, "You must be tired in the hospital these few days. Go back to your room and rest."
Yan Shaoyu shook his head: "Do you want to put these in the cellar? I'll do it."
After he finished speaking, he pushed his arm and easily jumped into the cellar. After taking a look, he stretched out his hand to Gu Tinghuai: "Brother Gu, just hand me the basket."
Seeing this, Gu Tinghuai didn't hesitate to fill the basket with yam and handed it to Yan Shaoyu.
The two of them, one loading and the other moving, cooperated very well. In a short while, all the yam bean vegetables in the yard were put into the cellar. What's more, the quantity was considerable. The yam bean fields on the mountain should be able to relieve a lot of pressure on the members.
When Gu Yuehuai entered the room, he saw Gu Zhifeng sitting on the kang, cooking walnuts. He had been looking out, but when he heard the noise, he immediately sat up straight and acted calmly, "Nannan is back."
"Dad, why are you pretending?" Gu Yuehuai found it a little funny and didn't even think about saving face for him.
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhifeng's old face turned red, and he blew his beard and glared, "What are you pretending to be! I was just... I was just concerned about the food. I don't know how much the brigade has distributed, and your eldest brother didn't tell me!"
"Oh~" Gu Yuehuai drawled out his voice, clearly showing that he didn't believe it.
Gu Zhifeng's eyelids twitched, and she ignored Gu Yuehuai and lay down to take a nap.
Gu Yuehuai took out a newly made quilt from the room and said, "Dad, shall we have hot pot for lunch?"
Today is the day when I am most fully present since my rebirth. It is freezing cold outside, and eating hotpot is the best way to warm my body and stomach.
Gu Zhifeng said vaguely: "Whatever."
Gu Yuehuai smiled and shook his head, then carried the quilt into the inner room. The room was very clean, with bright windows and spotless tables. Some sunlight came in and fell on the large kang. Yan Shaoyang and Gu Xihuai were reading, but Yan Shaotang was asleep.
Yan Shaoyang looked up when he heard the noise and saw that it was Gu Yuehuai. He hurriedly said, "Sister Yuehuai."
Gu Xihuai's eyes were complicated, as if he couldn't stand it anymore, and he said, "Shao Yang, can you have some backbone? She is several years younger than us, and you still call her Sister Yuehuai. Where has your seniority gone?"
Yan Shaoyang pretended not to hear and asked with a smile: "Sister Yuehuai, what did you take?"
Gu Yuehuai smiled and spread out the bedding: "I made new bedding for you and your brother. You can live in the inner room these days. Shaoli and Shaotang will live in the same room with me."
Yan Shaoyang said with a somewhat embarrassed tone: "Sorry to bother Sister Yue Huai."
Gu Xihuai watched from the side and shook his head silently.
When they were leaving, Gu Yuehuai said, "By the way, stop making trouble. Let's cook hot pot for lunch, shall we? Third brother, don't eat. I see that you don't look very well. You may have a sore throat. Just have a bowl of clear soup noodles."
Hearing this, Gu Xihuai's face twitched. Before he could fight for his rights, Gu Yuehuai went out.
She went back to the house and rummaged through the grain bag. The supplies were limited, so she could only make hot pot chicken. Fortunately, there were many dishes. The vegetables produced in the space were very fresh and sweet. She added some cabbage and potatoes, and rolled some noodles, which was enough to eat.
Gu Yuehuai was a man of action. He locked the door, went into the Sumeru space to pick some vegetables, and selected two big fat chickens.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were not many people in the room, I boiled water to scald the chicken feathers, plucked the chicken feathers, chopped it up, and washed and cut the vegetables. My movements were very efficient. After the dishes were prepared, I heated the oil in a wok and started to stir-fry the chicken. I had done this once last time, so it was not a big deal.
After frying the chicken, add water and simmer it. The house will soon be filled with fragrance.
Gu Yuehuai also chopped the chicken into pieces and made them into meatballs, which he could add to the hot pot later for Yan Shaotang to eat.
She looked at the curl of smoke rising from the stove and curled the corners of her lips. Outside, she could hear Yan Shaoli shouting. Today was a good day, everyone was here and would always be here, and that was enough.
