Chapter 18 Gu Yuehuai has changed
Gu Tinghuai stood by the stove, looking at the dark red braised pork bubbling in the big iron pot, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva, "Nannan, what can big brother do for you?"
Gu Yuehuai thought for a moment, then tapped the rice in the steamer with his chin: "Brother, serve the rice. The braised pork will be ready soon. Let's stir-fry some vegetables and we can start eating."
She cut up all the two-pound pork belly, leaving no part of it. The rich soup was fragrant. For someone who can't stand the smell of meat all year round, she could eat two more bowls of rice with the soup later.
"Okay!" Gu Tinghuai nodded, took out Gu Yuehuai's special big bowl, and prepared to serve all the rice to her. With this big pot of rice, the grain bag was probably empty. He sighed in his heart, but didn't know how to blame his sister for wasting.
Gu Yuehuai glanced at it and said hurriedly: "Brother, wait a minute!"
"Huh?" Gu Tinghuai was stunned: "What's wrong?"
Gu Yuehuai pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Bring a few more bowls, and we can share it among our family!"
Gu Tinghuai's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe it. Although he had eaten wheat flour pancakes last night, he didn't dare to eat more after eating a little. Today, he cooked so much rice. Did he want them to eat together?
He looked at his sister's chubby smiling face and felt a warm feeling in his heart.
This was the first time in all these years that he realized that his sister's feedback could make him so happy.
"Brother, don't just stand there. The rice should be cold. Go call second and third brothers so we can eat together!" Gu Yuehuai urged, using a large soup spoon to scoop the tender and fat-filled braised pork from the pot into a basin.
She cleaned the pot and fried a plate of green vegetables.
This vegetable was grown by my eldest brother from seeds scattered behind the house a few days ago. It was eaten by her when it was only a finger high. However, the green tender leaves, stir-fried with minced garlic, are just the right way to relieve the greasy feeling of the meat.
Gu Tinghuai brought the meat to the table and went to knock on the door of the inner room.
He had a smile on his face but was thinking in his heart, Nannan divided the rice and fried the braised pork herself. He suddenly felt a little excited to see the expressions of the second and third children. Should they bow down in front of the delicious food?
Gu Tinghuai knocked on the door and said, "The meal is ready, come out and eat!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Ruihuai's stubborn and cold voice came from the room: "I don't want to eat!"
Gu Tinghuai raised his eyebrows and was about to say something to persuade him when the door opened. Gu Xihuai walked out and said to his eldest brother in a low voice, "Second brother is sulking. Instead of coming out to smell the meat, he might as well stay in the house and eat the air!"
"Then let him starve, don't regret it, let's go eat meat." Gu Tinghuai said this deliberately. Before Gu Xihuai could react, Gu Ruihuai came out of the house with a cold face.
Gu Tinghuai crossed his arms over his chest and teased, "Aren't you not going to eat?"
Gu Ruihuai sneered: "I haven't seen meat for a year. If I don't eat it, won't it all go into Gu Yuehuai's mouth? I'm not that stupid. Third brother, you have to eat more today!"
As they spoke, the three brothers sat down at the table on the kang.
Gu Zhifeng was staring at a pot of red meat with a look of a foodie.
The pork belly is fat and lean, and the strong aroma goes straight into the nose, and the mouth is secreted with saliva again and again.
As soon as he saw Gu Ruihuai, he glanced at him and said, "Do you still think you are a young master? You need to be urged to treat others to a meal. Did you know that Nannan prepared this meal today? Just think of her kindness!"
Gu Zhifeng's knocking fell into Gu Ruihuai's ears, but he pretended not to hear it.
What was so good about Gu Yuehuai that he should think about her? He was already very polite by not hitting her!
He didn't answer, and Gu Zhifeng glared at him unhappily: "Did you hear that, kid?"
Seeing that the father and son were about to quarrel again, Gu Yuehuai came back with vegetables: "Okay, Dad, today is our family reunion dinner, let's eat in harmony and don't quarrel, okay?"
For her, this was truly a reunion dinner.
All her relatives finally gathered together.
"Haha, okay, okay, I'll listen to our daughter." Gu Zhifeng agreed readily.
Gu Ruihuai rolled his eyes and wanted to say to Gu Yuehuai, "Don't think I will remember your kindness just because you speak up for me," but when he looked down at the five bowls of white rice on the small table, his words got stuck in his throat.
This is……?
He subconsciously looked up at Gu Yuehuai. He still had that disgustingly fat body, but the smile on his face was so bright and kind, as if it could infect people's hearts, making them feel happy from the bottom of their hearts.
The corners of Gu Ruihuai's mouth just raised a slight arc, and then immediately sank, with an extremely ugly expression on his face.
He was really crazy. He actually thought Gu Yuehuai was kind!
She is the worst person in the world!
Gu Yuehuai didn't know what he was thinking, but seeing the expression on his face, he didn't want to bother to please him. He lowered his eyes and looked at the rice in his bowl, then picked it up and scooped it into Gu Zhifeng's bowl: "I can't finish it, Dad will eat it!"
After peeling for Gu Zhifeng, he peeled for Gu Tinghuai and Gu Xihuai, and finally only had the bottom of the bowl left for himself.
Gu Zhifeng frowned tightly and said unhappily: "How can this be enough to eat? No way!"
"Dad, I want to lose weight, so I have to eat less! Okay, this plate of vegetables is mine, don't snatch it from me!" Gu Yuehuai put the vegetables in front of himself, picked them up, and put them into his mouth with rice.
The father and his sons looked at Gu Yuehuai and fell silent. Gu Yuehuai seemed like a different person today, which made them feel a little bit unbelievable, but at the same time, they felt an indescribable joy in their hearts.
Gu Zhifeng was the one who was most deeply touched. He thought to himself, this feeling was probably like a dog that they had never familiarized themselves with at home suddenly wagging its tail at them?
Ugh! Gu Zhifeng quickly kicked the thought out of her mind and gave her daughter an embarrassed smile.
How could he think like that? His daughter is the best daughter in the world, not a dog!
Gu Ruihuai looked down at the rice in the bowl, thinking about how Gu Yuehuai had not given him any rice just now, he felt annoyed and could not help but sneered, "Lose weight? What, you're still thinking about marrying Chen Yuesheng? Go and dream about your Chunqiu MLZL dream!"
Gu Yuehuai quickly finished the rice in her bowl. After hearing what her second brother said, she put down her chopsticks and said calmly, "I don't want to marry him. He has saved money to marry Tian Jing. I won't look for him again in the future."
Gu Ruihuai's face changed: "Marry Tian Jing?"
Gu Yuehuai nodded: "It was Chen Yin who broke my head. How could it be false if she said it herself?"
When Gu Zhifeng heard this, she didn't even bother to eat the braised pork. She slammed the table and said sternly, "What? That girl from the Chen family broke your head? Let's go! Dad will take you to find her!"
Gu Yuehuai grabbed Gu Zhifeng and told her everything that happened yesterday.
After hearing this, several people looked at each other in confusion.
Gu Xihuai was very surprised. He organized his words and asked, "You mean, you and Chen Yin asked for ten yuan for medical expenses, and then Director Huang took Chen Yin to the brigade, and she can't go to work anymore?"
Gu Yuehuai nodded and handed the remaining six dollars and fifty cents to Gu Zhifeng.
"Dad, apart from the money for medicine and meat, there is still this much left. Take it first."
She knew that her family was in debt and it was a difficult time. The debt collectors would come to her door soon, so she had to find a way to make money. Moreover, the distribution of grain at the end of the year was another disaster. It was a year of famine, and although no one starved to death, it was still hard to endure.
