Chapter 126 Big pot of vegetables and pancakes
Gu Yuehuai's eyes flashed. She had experienced prejudice based on family background. When she thought that Zhu Rongrong could live in the compound of the County Revolutionary Committee, she knew that Cui Hejie had gotten a great bargain this time. For him, it could be considered a turning point in his destiny.
However, she is so busy with her own feelings that she can't even handle them, so how can she care about other people's feelings?
Gu Yuehuai looked up at the dim sky and politely declined, "Comrade He, it's getting late. I have to go home. It's a long way. I won't have dinner with you. Let's have dinner together next time when we are free."
Hearing this, He Lanzhang's face fell, and his handsome face was full of disappointment.
He quickly gathered himself and said, "I happened to be riding a bicycle. I'll give you a ride. Otherwise, it's not safe for a girl like you to go out at night."
Gu Yuehuai shook his head: "It's too much trouble for you. You should have other things to do with your friends, right? I won't bother you anymore."
After saying that, Gu Yuehuai hurriedly left the black market with the basket.
Although the public security is not very good nowadays, she is not a powerless girl. She just has no chance to use the skills she learned in her previous life. What's more, she has crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, so she is not afraid of those evil spirits.
She couldn't respond to He Lanzhang's love. He was a good man and shouldn't fall deeper and deeper into this trap.
Gu Yuehuai walked very quickly. He Lanzhang looked at her back as she walked away, with a somewhat lonely look on his face.
At this time, Cui Hejie pushed his bicycle to his side, glanced in the direction where Gu Yuehuai left, and said in a teasing tone: "I didn't expect that there would be a female comrade in Huangying Commune that you can't handle."
He Lanzhang frowned: "I really like her, and I have never played with the feelings of any lesbian."
Cui Hejie curled his lips imperceptibly, but smiled apologetically: "Okay, I was wrong. Let's go to the state-owned restaurant for a drink?"
He has been in high spirits recently and doesn't mind giving He Lanzhang some face. In fact, if it weren't for his brother He Hongzhang's status, why would he be so polite to him?
He Lanzhang shook his head: "No, I'm going home first, you should go back early too."
After saying that, He Lanzhang took the bicycle from his hand and rode away.
Cui Hejie's mouth twitched, and he glared at He Lanzhang's back in annoyance, secretly complaining in his heart: Just wait, after the educated youth go to the countryside, he must establish good relations with those children from the Beijing circle and win a chance to climb the ladder!
He is not a fool like He Lanzhang, who refused to give up the opportunity even though it was right in his hands.
Zhu Rongrong was not good-looking, even a little ugly, but who could have made her have a good father? He originally did not marry Zhu Rongrong, but someone related to the county revolutionary committee compound!
Thinking of this, Cui Hejie smiled. He put his hands in his pockets, whistled, and walked slowly to the state-owned restaurant. After getting married, life would not be so comfortable anymore, so he had to live a free and easy life.

In the evening, as soon as Gu Yuehuai returned home, he heard something.
Chen Yuesheng was going to go to the police station to report the case, saying that he would never marry Li Chaoying.
Gu Yuehuai was a little surprised. In his previous life, Chen Yuesheng had never been so determined for Tian Jing. Perhaps it was because he was tricked this time and he couldn't swallow this. However, so much time had passed and no one cared what the truth was.
Now everyone only knows that Chen Yuesheng slept with Widow Li, but he doesn't want to take responsibility.
If he continues to make trouble and ask the police to investigate, it will only make the matter worse.
Gu Xihuai held Yan Shaotang in his arms and fed the little girl steamed eggs, but he said calmly: "Don't worry, we won't report it. We are all country people. How dare we deal with those with guns? His parents won't let him go either."
Gu Yuehuai smiled and stopped caring about Chen Yuesheng. Instead, he asked, "Is Shaotang good today?"
Gu Xihuai nodded, and then asked curiously: "Yuehuai, has Shaotang become smarter?"
He remembered that when the little girl first came back, she knew nothing, said nothing, and looked silly without any spirit at all. But now she is very different. Not only can she eat and go to the toilet by herself, she can even utter a word or two occasionally.
Gu Yuehuai's eyebrows curved, not panicking at all: "Maybe it's because of our family's good feng shui."
Gu Xihuai didn't believe this, but still said: "Shaotang is beautiful. When she recovers, she will definitely be a beautiful lady. But, is there anyone left in her family? Should we help her find her family?"
When talking about looking for his family, Gu Xihuai still had some reluctance on his face.
He and Yan Shaotang got along very well during this period. The little girl was well-behaved and sensible, completely different from Gu Yuehuai when he was a child. She really made up for his feelings as a brother. He would be reluctant to send her away.
Gu Yuehuai shook his head: "Don't worry about this, Third Brother. What do you want to eat tonight? I'll cook."
Gu Xihuai thought for a moment and said, "Big pot of vegetables with pancakes?"
"become!"
Gu Yuehuai cooked a big pot of stew with cabbage, potatoes, sweet potatoes, vermicelli and half a chicken. The soup was fresh and delicious. He then rolled the dough into a pancake and stuck it to the edge of the iron pot. While it was simmering, a domineering aroma spread.
Gu Xihuai looked at Gu Yuehuai with some emotion and said softly, "Yuehuai, you have really changed a lot."
Gu Yuehuai paused, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and he said in a light voice: "People will always change when something happens."
Before Gu Xihuai could say something, Gu Zhifeng and Gu Tinghuai came back. Both of them had sweat on their heads and the towels hanging around their necks were soaked, which showed that they had not been lazy at all that day.
"Brother, there's freshly boiled hot water in the kettle. Pour it out and go wash up with dad. We'll be eating soon." Gu Yuehuai said as he took the stew and pancakes out of the pot, filling the room with fragrance.
"Yeah." Gu Tinghuai responded.
The family lived a simple life, sitting around a small table, enjoying this rare peace.
"With Yuehuai's cooking skills, he can be a chef in a state-owned restaurant!" Gu Xihuai praised the food he ordered tonight. Hearing this familiar words, Gu Tinghuai couldn't help laughing: "Dad also said this, how about giving it a try?"
Gu Yuehuai laughed: "That kind of popular position is hard to get for others, so I'll just let it go."
She was not kidding. Being a chef or a waiter in a state-owned restaurant was a good job with a gilded rim, which was enviable enough. To put it simply, working there provided meals, which were much better than the thin porridge and steamed buns at home.
That was true. Gu Xihuai smacked his lips in disappointment and buried his head in his food.
Gu Yuehuai suddenly thought of something and said, "Oh, by the way, I met Qin Wanjiang in the brigade today."
"Qin Wanjiang?" Gu Zhifeng frowned. He naturally had no good feelings towards this person. The two of them were rivals in love.
Gu Yuehuai nodded: "The wall painting is completed. Someone from the commune came to inspect it and said that it will be promoted vigorously in the future."
Hearing this, the family members' expressions relaxed. For the Gu family, this was already a rare happy event.
