Chapter 254 I'm Just a Half-wit
After hearing her words, Yan Shaoli was delighted at first, then hesitantly shook his head: "I'd better help you at home. There are so many people coming to eat today, so we have to cook more. I can help you and it will be faster."
Gu Yuehuai raised his eyebrows and stabbed her without any hesitation: "Can you cook?"
Hearing this, Yan Shaoli was speechless, then he smiled awkwardly, picked up Yan Shaotang and said, "Okay, then I won't make trouble!"
Gu Yuehuai looked at her receding back and shook his head with a smile.
She had also heard a few words that Yan Shaoyu's parents loved each other very much. In this age when women take care of the family and cook, the Yan family has already adopted the principle of women enjoying themselves while men do more work, so it is Yan's father who cooks at home.
His thoughts returned to his mind, and Gu Yuehuai carried the washed vegetables back to the house. He then blanched the chicken with hot water and plucked its feathers. In the evening, he planned to make spicy rabbit cubes, garlic chicken nuggets, hot and sour potato shreds, vinegar-stirred cabbage and scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and then cook a pot of rice. That was all.
Once you have an idea in mind, you can do things faster.
About an hour later, there was a noise outside the yard, and Yan Shaoli's cheerful voice came in: "We're here. Do you smell the fragrance of the food? Let me tell you, my sister-in-law's cooking skills are really extraordinary. You're in for a treat today!"
Wang Ziyan laughed and replied, "I kept calling you sister-in-law all the way."
Yan Shaoli said with a little pride: "I am happy, I like it, you can't control me, my sister-in-law is the best in the world!"
Listening to her non-stop flattery outside, Gu Yuehuai chuckled and found it quite amusing.
As soon as she entered the door, she changed her address and asked with a smile: "I smelled it from a long distance away. Everyone I met along the way looked in our direction. What did we do? Why does it smell so good? Hey? Isn't Brother Gu back yet?"
Yan Shaoli looked around and didn't see Gu Tinghuai. He felt puzzled and worried.
"It's okay, let's eat first. I left some food for him." Gu Yuehuai shook his head. Knowing that this matter concerned her and Tian Jing, Gu Tinghuai was alert and would definitely send Ren Tianxiang to the county in person. This was a good way to ensure nothing went wrong.
Everything Ren Tianxiang did and said tonight would nail Tian Jing firmly to the pillar of shame!
What she said at the police station was also confirmed. Tian Jing did have reasons to kill her, and the case would only progress faster!
Yan Shaoli glanced at the night sky worriedly, sighed, and then called Wang Ziyan and others to the table.
Wang Ziyan has a straightforward personality and doesn't feel restrained at all, but Jin Can seems a little uncomfortable and timid. If Lei Yi hadn't been sitting next to her, she would have been even more nervous.
"Sister Gu, is there anything I can help you with?" Wang Ziyan did not sit down, but moved closer to Gu Yuehuai.
Gu Yuehuai chuckled, "It's ready. The rice has been served. There's also a chicken stewing in the pot. It will be ready in a few minutes. You guys eat first. You must be hungry at this late hour, right? Shaoli, the food is hot. Blow on Shaotang before you eat."
Yan Shaoli smiled and replied, "I know!"
She had taken care of Yan Shaotang for so long, so she naturally knew all this. However, when she heard Gu Yuehuai's caring words, she was still happy to respond. This feeling was wonderful, as if they had always been a close family.
At this time, Lei Yi also followed the topic and asked: "By the way, Sister Gu, how is Shao Yang? Is there any work for the team? Can we go see him again tomorrow?"
Gu Yuehuai said, "Shaoyang will be back in two days in the hospital. It's nothing serious, don't worry. The brigade is having a leisurely time right now. If you want to earn work points, you can only work on the dam, but it's very tiring."
"Besides, there is no one in the team working on the dam right now. It would be useless for you to go there. Let's see what the branch secretary assigns you."
After the busy farming season was over, the team had a holiday. The able-bodied laborers from every household would continue to do hard labor on the riverbank, but once the team announced a food shortage, even those from poor families were unwilling to go to work and earn work points.
The purpose of earning work points is to exchange them for food. Now the situation is different. Who would be stupid enough to work?
It just so happened that yam berries needed to be dug up from the mountain, so the members temporarily put down their work and focused on digging yam berries.
Lei Yi nodded and said a little embarrassedly: "It's mainly because we just arrived and it's not easy for us to be idle."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Ziyan exclaimed, "Hey, Lao Lei, what's wrong with your hand?"
Hearing this, everyone looked at Lei Yi. When he put down his hand, there was a large scratch on the back of his hand, and it was even bleeding.
Jin Can bit his lip, looked up at Lei Yi, with some distress in his eyes: "What's going on?"
Lei Yi waved his hand carelessly: "It's okay, it's just that the dormitory table is broken. I was fixing it and accidentally broke it."
"Let me see." Wang Ziyan frowned, walked to Lei Yi, looked at the wound on the back of his hand, checked it, and breathed a sigh of relief: "No bones are injured, just skin injuries, just apply some red medicine when you go back."
After saying that, before Jin Can could breathe a sigh of relief, she continued, "I've already told you that your wound can't come into contact with water, otherwise it will get infected and become a big problem. You'll have to go to the hospital, which will cost you money and be painful!"
Lei Yi said nonchalantly: "It's just a minor injury, it's okay, no need to make such a fuss."
Hearing this, Wang Ziyan looked at him with disapproval: "If you keep calling 'doctor', you will suffer!"
Jin Can nodded repeatedly and whispered, "Since Zi Yan has said so, don't be stubborn and don't touch the water, okay?"
Wang Ziyan's words were obviously not as effective as Jin Can's. Lei Yi glanced at her with a slightly softened look in his eyes: "Okay, I understand. I'll make sure I don't touch water for the next few days. Is that okay?"
Wang Ziyan looked at the two people in front of her, her mouth twitched, and she glared at them unhappily.
If she were born in the future, she would probably look up to the sky and sigh: I am stuffing cold dog food into my mouth!
Yan Shaoli was feeding Yan Shaotang, and seeing this, he teased, "Lao Lei, you are really nice to Xiaocan."
Jin Can's cheeks turned red. She was fair to begin with, so her blush was very obvious.
Lei Yi just smiled and said nothing. Jin Can was not talkative and rarely expressed his opinions actively, so he naturally needed respect.
At this time, Gu Yuehuai also brought the fried chicken to the table. She looked at Wang Ziyan in surprise and said, "Ziyan can also treat patients? Is she really a doctor?"
Although she asked this, she knew in her heart that doctors are considered technical talents. If Wang Ziyan really was one, she would not have been assigned to the remote Liuzhi Brigade. She might even be kept in the commune or even the county.
Wang Ziyan chuckled: "How is that possible?"
She asked back and then said, "I am just a half-baked person, I don't have any real skills. But my dad is a military doctor, he is very good at both treating patients and performing surgeries. If there weren't so many children in my family, I wouldn't have come here."
As she spoke, Wang Ziyan sighed, and a hint of loneliness appeared in her eyes.
The policy at that time was that only one child could stay in a family with many children, and the others had to go to the countryside. If they stayed in the city and refused to leave, they would not be assigned a job and would have to stay at home and be idle, which was criticized.
