After packing up his things and sending the people out, Gu Qingmeng discovered that the person driving the ox cart today was Pei Xinghe. Even though he kept shrinking his neck, Gu Qingmeng recognized him at a glance.
"Why are you showing off outside instead of staying at home and recuperating?" Gu Qingmeng was a little angry. This man didn't take care of his body.
"I'm in good health and I'm fine now. I made an appointment with someone to view a house today, and I have some other things to take care of, so I can't break the appointment." Seeing that he was discovered, Pei Xinghe no longer hid.
He did have something to do in town today. He had made an appointment with someone to view a house yesterday, and he didn't want to break the appointment. He also had some things in the black market that needed his attention. If he let Pei Weidong rest for a few days, he would have to send him back to work, and he also had to prepare for his wedding.
"I'll go with you." Gu Qingmeng was still worried about Pei Xinghe going out alone.
Pei Xinghe was not willing to do that. He knew Gu Qingmeng was afraid of the cold, and the mountain road was long, so he didn't agree to let her follow him. He had to make a lot of promises to coax her back.
After bringing Gu Guoliang home, Gu Qingmeng felt that the house was too quiet!
"Guoliang, go call your sister Su Xue over, let's make tofu."
Gu Qingmeng asked someone to make a stone mill before she moved out. The stone mills in the village were too big and shared, so she asked someone to make a small one, which was just right for her own use.
The beans were already soaked. Just as she was getting everything ready, she saw Su Xue coming over with Pei Xiaohua.
"Where's Guoliang? Didn't he come back with you?"
Gu Qingmeng glanced outside and felt a little confused when she didn't see her brother.
Su Xue: "...He and Pei Weidong went to catch pheasants."
"How can you catch pheasants without snow? Let the pheasants slip away!" If Gu Qingmeng knew everything, how could Pei Weidong not know?
He just wanted to take a stroll up the mountain and also wanted to see Pei Xiaocao. His half-sister had suffered so much, and he had been at home before and hadn't noticed it at all. It was his dereliction of duty as a brother.
Pei Weidong brought Gu Guoliang back only after Gu Qingmeng and the others had made the tofu. They didn't see any pheasants, but they did bring down a squirrel.
"You can even catch a squirrel, but you run faster than it." Su Xue thought that after her injury healed, she would make money!
She couldn't wait to get involved in the black market.
"Ah! The little thing is injured, otherwise how could I outrun it?" Seeing that Su Xue was not interested, Pei Weidong threw the squirrel to Gu Guoliang.
Gu Qing dreamed that the squirrel was bitten all over, so he asked Gu Guoliang to apply medicine to the little guy and then feed him some warm water. He should keep him at home first and release him when his wounds healed, or just keep him in the space as a pet.
She is not afraid of any furry creature, except mice.
He gave half of the tofu to Su Xue, and she could freeze any leftovers. He then asked Gu Guoliang to give one piece each to Guan Beibei, Zhao Weiting and the others.
Thinking of the method of making an outdoor refrigerator that he had seen in a video in the future, Gu Qingmeng was eager to try it, but there was no plastic bucket at home.
I fried two large plates of tofu and was about to send them to Aunt Shuqin when I saw Pei Xinghe coming back.
"It's just right that you're back. Take this plate of tofu back." Gu Qingmeng said while washing her hands.
After frying two large plates of tofu, she no longer wanted to eat dinner. Was it because the smell of cooking oil had made her lose her appetite?
"You chased me away just after I got here. No, I have a headache." Pei Xinghe smiled and leaned on Gu Qingmeng. He saw that his brother-in-law was not at home, and he could be alone with his Qingqing for a while, so he had to find a chance to get close to her.
"Don't come here, it's freezing, go warm yourself by the fire!"
Gu Qingmeng poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Pei Xinghe. He must be freezing cold after running outside all day!
"I'm not cold, look, my hands are still warm!"
Pei Xinghe took out his cotton gloves and directly held Gu Qingmeng's soft little hand. In order to prove that his hands were warm, he pulled Gu Qingmeng to touch himself.
Gu Qingmeng: "...You are taking advantage of me."
He held hands and even found excuses to let me touch him. It was not straightforward at all. Didn’t Pei Xinghe know that he was being disliked?
He was taking out the house certificate and handing it to Gu Qingmeng. Both houses had been bought, and they were two connected courtyards.
"These two courtyards are connected. Qingqing, who do you think will live in this courtyard? I will find someone to clean up the house tomorrow." Pei Xinghe didn't want to live too close to Su Xue. He planned to let Grandpa Pei live in one of the two adjacent courtyards, and they would live in the other one. There would be space and it would be convenient to take care of the elderly.
The courtyards in the county town are not big, and there are too many people living there without any private space. He doesn't like it, but whether he likes it or not is not important. In the end, it all depends on Gu Qingmeng's opinion!
"Let Grandpa live here first. He'll be discharged from the hospital in a few days. Let him live in the county first. By the way, where did you get the money to buy a house?"
She forgot to give money to Pei Xinghe this morning and thought that she would not be able to buy a suitable house so quickly!
"It's the money from selling grain. Here's some left for you to keep." Pei Xinghe took out more than 500 yuan in small amounts.
"Take it! Cleaning the house and furniture will cost money! Pei Weidong went up the mountain today." Gu Qingmeng saw that Pei Xinghe was a little busy. Since Pei Weidong could go up the mountain, his injury must be almost healed, and it was time to go back to work.
Naturally, her best friend's man is not as important as her man! She should be enslaved if necessary.
The two smiled at each other, one continued to prepare dinner, and the other went straight to the backyard.
The next day, not long after Gu Qingmeng got up, she saw Su Xue coming over yawning.
"Pei Weidong was taken away by your man. I'm staying at your house today. No, I need to catch up on some sleep after making such a fuss last night."
Su Xuezhi got on the kang, took out the pillow she had been using before and started to sleep. After a while, she began to snore softly.
Gu Qingmeng: ...
Don't you even ask for his opinion?
