Chapter 178 Sensible Brother



Su Xue pouted as she listened: "Mengmeng, Guodong and the others will be back soon! Go back and make them something delicious. I'll be there tonight too. I want to eat boiled fish."

She wanted to eat spicy boiled fish, but Gu Qingmeng was so upset that she still ordered the dishes with her.

"Do you like sauerkraut fish?" Gu Qingmeng rolled her eyes and looked at Su Xue's stomach with some heartache. Knowing that she wanted spicy food, she decided to put a couple more chilies in the sauerkraut fish!

Only two, no more.

"Okay! I also want some hot and sour cucumber sticks."

It is best to soak it with Sprite. It is sour and crispy, suitable for summer consumption and is appetizing.

Gu Qingmeng glared at her, turned around and left. If she stayed any longer, she felt that Su Xue would be able to order a full banquet.

After returning home, Gu Qingmeng immediately locked the door and went into the space to take a shower. She was sweating all over after going out. It would be painful for Su Xue to give birth in this season.

The confinement period is going to be difficult.

As soon as I finished taking a shower and dried myself, I saw Gu Guodong and Tan En coming back, and Pei Guoqing also came back with them.

"Fourth sister-in-law, I'm here, did you miss me?"

Pei Guoqing ran into the yard like a gust of wind. They were holding things in their hands. It was very hot at noon in July, and the heat waves came one after another.

The three men had sweat on their heads, and their clothes were soaked with sweat and stuck to their backs, especially Gu Guodong, who was obviously carrying a bag of food on his back.

It goes without saying that it was the food that Uncle Pei brought for Pei Guoqing.

"Hurry up and put your things on the ground. There's hot water in the backyard. Go wash up and change your clothes."

Gu Qingmeng felt sorry for his younger brother Gu Guodong. Because he was born a few minutes earlier and was the older brother, he always gave in to Gu Guoliang and was the one who always took the heaviest things.

It was the same when playing with Pei Guoqing, Gu Guodong took care of him everywhere.

"Sister, I'm not tired. This is much better than working in the countryside." Gu Guodong saw the pain in his sister's eyes, wiped the sweat off his face and quickly changed the subject: "Sister, what are you going to cook for us today? I'm hungry."

"Today I'm making pickled fish and your favorite braised pork. Your brother-in-law might bring back some mutton later, and when he does, he'll grill it for you."

Gu Qingmeng smiled and said that she had prepared delicious food today.

"Your brother-in-law bought you a basketball so that you can play with it during the holidays, especially since you need to combine work and rest." This younger brother doesn't want to put down his books once he starts reading and has extremely high demands on his grades.

The other is that he can't sit still once he picks up a book, and long live passing.

"Okay, when brother-in-law comes back we must thank him properly. I'll help you clean up the fish before I go take a shower."

When putting things away, Gu Guodong saw two fish in the kitchen basin. He knew that his sister didn't like to clean fish because she disliked the strong fishy smell.

When he comes back, he naturally won't let his sister do this job.

"Hey...just leave it there and ask your brother-in-law to come back and clean it up. I'll make you some cold noodles for lunch and a big dinner for dinner."

Gu Qing turned around and saw that her brother had rolled up his sleeves to clean the fish. She took a fried dried fish and stuffed it into her brother's mouth without stopping her.

Children who help with the work will naturally be rewarded and given special treatment.

"Sister, this dried fish is so delicious, it's fried until crispy and fragrant."

Gu Guodong praised his sister's cooking skills without hesitation. Everything his sister cooked was delicious. However, at this time, only his sister was willing to fry such a small river fish.

"It's delicious, eat more. There's also spicy meat jerky."

Gu Qingmeng made the original flavor of dried meat for Su Xue, and kept the spicy flavor for herself, which she made specially for her younger brothers.

"Well, if Guoliang knew this, he would be furious. Sister, why don't you ask how we did in the exam?"

Everyone Gu Guodong met along the way asked them how they did in the final exam, except his sister, who should have asked about their grades.

"The exam is over. It doesn't matter what you did. You'll definitely be at the top! As for Guoliang, he's one of those people who just wants to pass."

Gu Qingmeng complained bluntly. She planned to take good care of Gu Guoliang during the holidays. Just because he couldn't take the college entrance examination now didn't mean he could never take it. But even if she said now that she would take the college entrance examination in the future, they wouldn't believe it!

"I'll take care of him during the holidays. If he doesn't behave well, you can just not give him meat. I'll make sure he behaves."

Gu Guodong recalled the time when his sister punished his father and his father had not seen meat for a whole week. The scene of his sister fighting with them for meat when they came back on the weekend seemed to be right in front of him.

From then on, my father started to get meat tickets. Every week when they came back, he would prepare enough meat just to give them some extra fat.

After a while, Gu Guoliang and Pei Guoqing came back with wet hair. Seeing Gu Guodong helping in the kitchen, they immediately went forward to help after drying their hair, while Gu Guodong went to take a shower.

"Sister, the meat sauce you fried is so fragrant and greasy, it looks delicious."

"Sister-in-law, your cooking is much better than my mom's. After eating your cooking, my mom's cooking tastes like pig food!"

"Are you calling yourself a pig?"

"Brother Guoliang, why are you like this? Can we still have fun?"

......

While they were arguing with each other, Gu Qingmeng finished cooking the noodles, and Gu Guodong just happened to come back from taking a shower.

"I'll go call grandpa for dinner."

They had been back for a while, but had not yet visited their grandfather. Gu Guodong went out and Gu Guoliang followed closely behind. When Pei Guoqing saw him, he also ran out.

Taking advantage of this time, Gu Qingmeng took a few more cucumbers to make a cold salad.

There were two large bowls of noodles, Gu Qingmeng only ate one bowl, Gu Huaian ate a large bowl, and the rest were eaten by the three half-grown boys.

Gu Qingmeng looked at them and felt that they seemed not to be full.

"How about I go cook some noodles?"

"No need, sis."

"Sister, no need to cook."

"Sister-in-law, I'm saving my stomach for a big dinner tonight."

Gu Qingmeng: ...

It’s confirmed that I’m not full.

We need to prepare more food for dinner, as their appetite seems to have increased again.

The three of them took on the task of washing the dishes. Gu Qingmeng was happy and relaxed, sitting at the desk reading a book. After a while, she heard the sound of Pei Xinghe coming back.

She went out to greet him and saw Pei Xinghe coming back with a whole rack of lamb chops, which weighed about two or three pounds.

"I really got it back! I thought someone stole it! How do you want to eat this meat?"

These are the sheep in their space. Gu Qingmeng didn't dare to watch the slaughter of cows and sheep, so Pei Xinghe took them out to kill them.

The black market was in need of meat today, so she asked Pei Xinghe to bring some back. They had to let the neighbors see them buying meat, otherwise it would be embarrassing if the smell of meat was often heard.

After living there for half a year, Gu Qingmeng was quite satisfied with everything about the yard, except that it was too close to the neighbors! With only a wall between them, they could hear their quarrels.

Speaking of quarrels, we have to talk about their neighbors. The family next door quarrels almost every day. She doesn't like to go out, so the two families have little interaction.

But one day, the two quarreled and drew their knives. Then the man of that house jumped over the wall and came to their house. The woman of that house followed closely with a knife in her hand and asked, "Are you afraid?"

Fortunately, Pei Xinghe was at home that day and called the police directly.
