Chapter 293 A Legitimate Couple
Gu Yuehuai accompanied Yan Shaoyu to take a look at the educated youth site. Most of the houses had collapsed, and a small part was buried under the snow. Fortunately, in the past few days, all the educated youth had found a place to live, and no one was injured.
She glanced at Yan Shaoyu and said calmly, "Let's go. There's nothing to see."
Yan Shaoyu hummed, then nodded slightly.
He didn't have any feelings for this youth center, but it contained the memory of Gu Yuehuai trying desperately to be nice to him, and also contained her past efforts to protect him. It would be a pity to let it fall apart like this.
"You're leaving tomorrow, I'll make you some beef jerky when you get home." Gu Yuehuai thought about it and looked at him with a smile: "I know you don't like spicy food, but sweet food, so I'll make sweet and salty beef jerky."
Yes, Yan Shaoyu is a cute character with a contrast. He looks bad-tempered and difficult to approach, but he likes to eat sweet things.
Such as pumpkin rice, sesame candy, candied haws, etc. This is one of his few little secrets.
Yan Shaoyu coughed lightly: "Actually, it doesn't have to be that troublesome."
Gu Yuehuai pursed her red lips and said frankly: "When you leave, I don't know when you can come back. I want to trouble you a little, so that when you see beef jerky on the road, it's like seeing me?"
Yan Shaoyu paused for a moment, and before he could start to get emotional, Gu Yuehuai's eyes lit up and said, "By the way, I've been busy preparing food for you these days, and I forgot a gift. Let's go home and see if it fits you."
Having said that, she pulled Yan Shaoyu and ran home.
The two ran on the snow-covered path, stirring up the fluttering snowflakes. As soon as they got home, Gu Yuehuai took out a dark blue cotton coat that had been made from the house. It had fine stitching and felt very thick.
Gu Yuehuai looked at Yan Shaoyu expectantly: "Would you like to try it?"
The coat does not have a plush collar, and although it is thick, it does not feel bulky in the hand.
Yan Shaoli heard the noise and came out from the inner room: "Brother, try it on and see, this is made by Yue Huai himself!"
Yan Shaoyu's Adam's apple slid up and down. He looked at Gu Yuehuai with his thin red lips tightly pursed. It had only been a few days since he was leaving. The clothes were taken out now, which must be because she had worked overtime for a few days to prepare them.
Gu Yuehuai blinked and urged, "Try it now!"
Yan Shaoyu took off his outer coat and put on the cotton coat. The size was just right and he felt warm as soon as he put it on. He was tall and slender, and wearing the thigh-length cotton coat made him look even more imposing.
His black hair was slightly messy, his pupils were dark and shiny, his eyebrows were sharp and his eyes were bright. His skin looked even whiter against the backdrop of his dark blue coat. Under his high nose bridge were lips that were tightly pursed like a knife blade. He looked cold, and he really had the temperament of a senior military officer.
"Tsk, looks good!" Yan Shaoli looked him up and down, then came over and put his arm on Gu Yuehuai's shoulder. He nodded seriously and whispered beside her: "Yuehuai, you have good taste. Look how handsome my brother is!"
She thought Gu Yuehuai would be shy, but she underestimated how thick his skin was. When she heard this, her eyebrows curved and she smiled happier than she did: "He is really handsome, I got what I paid for."
Yan Shaoyu's peach blossom eyes were pure and black, and Gu Yuehuai's undisguised praise made his ears slightly red.
Gu Yuehuai pushed Yan Shaoyu into the inner room: "Okay, I'm going to make lunch, you go back and rest for a while."
Her brows relaxed. She took out the beef she bought from the market in the morning, cut it into strips, and started making beef jerky. She boiled it, fried it, stir-fried it, added seasonings, mixed in sesame seeds, and after letting it cool, it became chewy beef jerky.
Most of the beef was made into beef jerky, and she only left a small portion to braise it and eat it with noodles at noon.
The braised beef is soft, fragrant and tender, the soup is rich, and paired with chewy noodles, it can swallow up anyone's delicious tongue.
After lunch, Gu Yuehuai began to help Yan Shaoyu pack his luggage. Knowing that he didn't like clutter, he tried to pack it as simply as possible. He didn't take many changes of clothes, as the army would distribute them regularly. He mainly brought some food.
The army is a communal society, so the food is definitely not that good, so she still hopes that he can improve his life.
Of course, in addition to this, the most important thing is the space well water. For this, she even bought a few bottles of oil from the supply and marketing cooperative. For fear of arousing Yan Shaoyu's suspicion, she also mixed fruit with well water to make jam. He likes sweet things, so this suits his taste.
"You can take the steamed buns with you on the road. You can soak the pies in hot soup when you get to the army. There's no need to worry about the beef jerky. You can eat it when you remember it. And this jam, you must eat it at a fixed time and place, understand?"
Gu Yuehuai was packing things into his bag, instructing Yan Shaoyu as he was packing, and even mentioned a few more words about the jam.
In addition to the jam, she brought him a bottle of space well water.
Gu Yuehuai held the bottle of water, with a hint of sadness between her brows. Although she brought it, she couldn't say much. She couldn't say that this water had magical effects. If you get injured, just use it to wash the wound, or drink a few sips, right?
There was definitely no way to tell him about the Sumeru Space now. He was not Yan Shaoyu from his previous life. He was still young and would not be particularly accepting of such strange things. She was also afraid that he would regard her as a monster.
Yan Shaoyu watched her skillfully helping him pack his luggage and giving him instructions word by word. He felt an indescribable subtle feeling in his heart, as if they were already married and had a legitimate husband and wife relationship.
He lowered his brows and his lips curved slightly.
Gu Yuehuai didn't notice it. He pondered for a while and came up with a lame excuse: "Hey, Shaoyu, remember to drink this bottle of water. This is the water from my hometown that I brought you. It is said to keep you safe."
Yan Shaoyu glanced at her, without any suspicion, and nodded obediently.
Gu Yuehuai was satisfied. Just as he stood up, he heard Gu Tinghuai's voice from outside, a little breathless: "Yuehuai! Someone is selling piglets at the market. Dad wants to ask you what you think. Do you want to buy one and keep it as a raise?"
Gu Yuehuai raised his eyebrows, opened the curtain and walked out, saying in a strange tone: "Selling piglets?"
"Yes, it's the Fangen Brigade. Didn't the sows in their brigade give birth to twelve piglets some time ago? Now they are all weaned, and the country is calling for pig farming. I wanted to increase the income for the team, so I sold them."
"There are a lot of people at the fair right now, do you think we should buy a piglet to raise?"
Gu Yuehuai hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, buy two."
Their family is not short of food, so raising pigs is a side job that suits the times. There are many people in the family, so they can also be busy with this.
It’s not easy to buy piglets. Most teams are reluctant to sell them. This is a good opportunity.
Gu Yuehuai counted out twenty yuan and handed it over: "Go ahead, big brother."
Piglets are sold by kilogram, which is not expensive. A weaned piglet weighs only a dozen kilograms at most. Twenty yuan is enough to buy two piglets. The only thing is that you are afraid that they will not survive, and then the money will be wasted.
She wanted to buy two and send them into the Sumeru Space to form a good cycle so that she would never lack pork to eat in the future.
Well, it seems I have to find an opportunity to go to the market alone again.
