Chapter 119: Natural Beauty
After Yan Shaotang finished eating, Gu Zhifeng and Gu Xihuai came back from work.
Before Gu Zhifeng even entered the room, she shouted at the top of her voice: "My daughter, the paintings on your wall are so beautiful. Everyone asked me along the way where you learned it. Oh, you really bring honor to your father!"
Gu Xihuai also had a smile on his face. He had been living a prosperous life these past few days and the relationship among his family members was very harmonious.
He suddenly discovered that it was his second brother Gu Ruihuai who caused the chaos in the family.
Gu Yuehuai didn't respond, but asked with a smile, "Are you tired from working today? I'm going to make dumplings tonight."
“Making dumplings?”
“Making dumplings?”
Gu Zhifeng and Gu Xihuai exclaimed in unison, and some suspicious liquid secreted from their mouths at the same time. Come to think of it, it seemed that except for the New Year and other festivals, dumplings were very far away from them, and even if they ate them, they were mixed flour dumplings.
They have seen the bag of snow-white wheat flour at home. If they were used to make dumplings with it, they would be so fragrant and beautiful!
Gu Yuehuai was amused by their reactions and nodded, "Yes, let's eat dumplings."
After saying that, she started to get busy. The dumpling filling had already been mixed, and she just needed to divide the dough into small portions and then start rolling out the dough and making dumplings.
Gu Xihuai went to wash his hands, and looked at Gu Yuehuai who was working smoothly at the stove, feeling a little emotional.
When he went to work these few days, many young co-workers tried to get close to him, and they were all asking about the news of their girl. Thinking about Gu Yuehuai, who was disliked by everyone in the past, he felt a little uncomfortable.
However, looking at the slim silhouette of the beauty under the kerosene lamp, Gu Xihuai couldn't help but smack his lips.
His sister was indeed born with natural beauty. Her appearance was quite what the books described as "a beauty that could shame the moon and flowers, and could make fishes sink and geese fall." Looking at her, he felt that all the words used in books to describe beauty had a model.
After about an hour, the dumplings were wrapped.
The plump dumplings were taken out of the boiling water, with white steam rising from the bowl. The unique aroma of the dumplings filled the room, and the steaming air was covered with a layer of misty warmth.
Gu Yuehuai served the dumplings to the table. Gu Zhifeng couldn't wait to open her mouth and take a bite. They were juicy and the fillings were salty and delicious. She dipped them in vinegar and ate one at a time, swallowing them whole, not wanting to stop.
Gu Xihuai wasn't much better, he was eating voraciously.
Not to mention them, even Yan Shaotang, who had just eaten steamed eggs, ate four dumplings.
Just after finishing the meal, the bell for recording work points rang.
Holding their work points books and with their round bellies bulging, Gu Yuehuai's family followed the crowd to the breeding area. However, compared to the past when they were all alone and no one was willing to pay attention to them, the Gu family is now very popular and the members are very enthusiastic along the way.
"Old Gu, record the work points. Your daughter is here too. Oh, she is so pretty."
"Gu Xihuai! Wait for me, wait!"
"Xihuai, shall we go to the breeding department together to record our work points?"
“…”
Everyone was interested in other things. Although they were talking to Gu Zhifeng and Gu Xihuai, their eyes kept glancing at Gu Yuehuai who was holding Yan Shaotang. This attitude made Gu Zhifeng feel both proud and sad.
He looked at his daughter and sighed slightly in his heart. His daughter was old enough to find a husband.
Gu Yuehuai was indifferent to everyone. Even if someone mustered up the courage to approach her and talk to her, they would not get any enthusiastic response. It was as if she was saying, "You used to ignore me, but now I am out of your reach."
When he was about to enter the breeding area, Chen Yuesheng's voice came from behind him: "Gu Yuehuai, wait!"
Gu Yuehuai's eyes moved slightly, and he looked back at Chen Yuesheng. He ran towards her breathlessly, as if he had something important to tell her.
"What's the matter?" Gu Yuehuai's attitude towards Chen Yuesheng remained calm, and there was no difference. However, the scene of her stopping and talking to Chen Yuesheng was seen by everyone. For a moment, everyone had an idea in their mind.
Gu Yuehuai still likes Chen Yuesheng?
They have not forgotten that the reason she was labeled as a woman who was eager to get married was because of Chen Yuesheng.
Chen Yuesheng looked at Gu Yuehuai, who was completely different from before, and felt both sad and happy. He felt sad because so many people saw her now, but he felt happy because she once liked him so much.
If he changes his attitude, will she still like him as much as before?
Chen Yin originally followed Chen Yuesheng. Her punishment has ended, and now she can come to the breeding department to record work points. However, looking at the radiant Gu Yuehuai, she has very complicated feelings.
Tian Jing's story was widely spread. She also realized how stupid she was in the past. Not only was she ignorant, but she was also fooled by Tian Jing. After experiencing so much, her temperament has become much calmer.
And her brother was obviously conquered by Gu Yuehuai's beauty and began to regret it.
She suddenly felt that what she had done before was very unnecessary. Although she no longer hated Gu Yuehuai as much, she still didn't want to get too close to him. On the one hand, it was because of her own stupidity, and on the other hand, it was because of Gu Yuehuai's weird temper.
She could see that Gu Yuehuai no longer liked her brother.
How can a person's feelings change so quickly?
Chen Yin was a little puzzled, but it was better for her not to marry into their family. She knew her brother's temper too well. Now that he was praising Gu Yuehuai so much, if she married into their family, she, the girl who had once made things difficult for her, would probably not have a good life.
Chen Yin glanced at the two of them, stammered a little, and finally said nothing, lowered her head and walked into the breeding area.
Chen Yuesheng noticed the gazes of the people around him. For some reason, he said with a chuckle, "Let's go to the side. I have something I want to tell you."
Gu Zhifeng frowned and glanced at Chen Yuesheng suspiciously. He didn't have a good impression of this person.
Chen Yuesheng felt uneasy when Gu Zhifeng looked at him like that. He also knew that he had treated Gu Yuehuai badly in the past. Now he felt embarrassed to make amends and could only avoid her gaze.
Gu Yuehuai thought for a moment and asked, "About Tian Jing?"
Chen Yuesheng was slightly surprised and subconsciously asked, "You already know?"
Gu Yuehuai pondered for a moment, handed Yan Shaotang to Gu Zhifeng, and followed Chen Yuesheng to the side.
Since Tian Jing was sent to the labor camp, there has been very little news from her. The occasional news she received was also from the militia. The person who had the most contact between the Dalaozi Production Brigade and the militia was Chen Yuesheng.
He is the nephew of militia captain Lei Dachui, so he is naturally more informed.
She was a little curious. Since Ren Tianxiang had gone to the labor camp, she wondered if he had used any means to take down Tian Jing?
Chen Yuesheng obviously knew that she and Tian Jing had a bad relationship and would pay extra attention to her, which is why he thought of using this as an entry point to talk to her. This man was as hypocritical and dirty as ever, and everything he did was purposeful.
She was busy with the wall painting during this period and had no time to deal with him.
How about waiting until Tian Jing comes back from the labor camp? Otherwise, how can we let her take the blame?
