If she were alone at home, she would be scared!
"I'll wash the lamb chops and we'll grill them tonight. I'll call them over after get off work to eat together." Pei Xinghe was already used to eating barbecue in the space.
Barbecue with a small beer is his favorite now. His wife said that barbecue goes best with summer, so he naturally wanted to try it and have a drink with his third brother and others.
"Alright, Su Xue and the others should come back and bring out some more beef. You take Guo Qing and the others to cut some willow branches. We need thicker ones for the skewers."
Gu Qingmeng asked Pei Xinghe to go back to the space and get some more meat, while she prepared some ingredients and marinated the lamb chops first.
The job of cutting the meat was given to Pei Xinghe. She didn't like the taste of mutton, but she could eat some when she ate it.
"Oh, my uncle called. I forgot to tell you."
Pei Xinghe put down the meat he had taken out, picked up the chopping board and started cutting the meat. As he cut, he said, "My uncle arranged for Fu Yu to go to the army, but Fu Yu refused to go and signed up to go to the countryside."
"He's coming to Peijiagou."
Gu Qingmeng immediately guessed that her cousin was going to come here. In order to avoid joining the army, she secretly signed up to go to the countryside, which was something her cousin could do.
"Well, he'll come over in a few days. I'll ask Mom to help clean up the house so he can live in the one by the river."
The educated youth camp was in a mess, and Pei Xinghe didn't plan to let Fu Yu live there.
Gu Qingmeng nodded in agreement. Ever since the incident with Li Xiangyang, she had no good impression of the educated youth center. After Zhao Weiting left Jiang Yifan, he moved to where she lived and became a neighbor of Guan Beibei.
"I exchanged some stationery tickets and will take them back to the village later."
Pei Xinghe knew that his wife cared a lot about the village primary school, and had bought stationery for his niece Pei Zhaodi before. Now that the villagers knew that she had got the stationery coupons, many of those who loved their children begged them to exchange them for stationery coupons.
Stationery coupons are distributed by factory employees to families with children. They are distributed every month so they almost always have some left over, and it is not difficult to exchange them. They are willing to help within their ability, especially for the good of the children.
Pei Xinghe felt that he had become soft-hearted since he got married. In the past, he would not bother to care about such trivial matters. In the village, he only cared about matters of life and death such as exchanging food!
Because he didn't help exchange food, some elderly people in the village really starved to death in the winter.
In order to provide more food for the village this year, his father told him that many young men in the village are getting married, especially after the village bought a tractor, and there are dozens of newborns. His two stepbrothers' families have one more child.
Didn't he say that this child must be born? It would be great if the family had one or two.
It’s not tiring to have many children. Food, drink, clothing, and schooling all cost money, right?
Did Gu Qingmeng not know that Pei Xinghe's thoughts had drifted away? She called the man several times, but the bastard ignored her and then went up and kicked him.
Something she didn't expect happened. Pei Xinghe fell directly to the ground. Gu Qingmeng looked at her feet suspiciously. She didn't use any strength!
"Good boy, what are you doing? Xinghe always gives in to you, how could you kick him?"
When Gu Huaian came in, he saw his granddaughter kicking her grandson-in-law, knocking him down. It was not that he didn't want to favor his granddaughter.
Instead, ever since their granddaughter got married, they have been taking good care of her, not letting her do any work or cook for her, and they hold her in their hands and pamper her.
Even so, his own granddaughter kicked others, and as a member of her family, he couldn't stand it.
"Grandpa, why are you here?"
Gu Qingmeng was stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped forward to support the old man. She felt a little guilty about kicking him down.
"If I hadn't come, how would I have known that you were bullying Xinghe like this? Darling, grandpa isn't saying anything to you, but life is always full of bumps and bruises. Don't resort to violence, help him up quickly."
It would be so embarrassing if someone saw it. Who in the neighborhood didn't know that Pei Xinghe loved his wife? If someone saw his granddaughter, she would be drowned in spit!
"Ahem...Grandpa, I'm fine. It's all my fault. I fell accidentally. Qingqing didn't kick me."
Pei Xinghe was distracted just now and really felt that it was his own fault, not his wife's.
Hearing this, Gu Huaian felt that Pei Xinghe had been wronged, and was a little annoyed with Gu Qingmeng: "My dear, don't do that again!"
This was the first time Gu Huaian criticized his granddaughter.
Gu Qingmeng: ...
Speechless, Gu Qingmeng only refuted dryly: "I didn't do it."
Gu Huaian: "It's no use using your feet! If it breaks, it might as well be used."
It's even more dangerous to move your feet.
Gu Qingmeng: ...
She couldn't explain it and could only glare at Pei Xinghe. It was all caused by him, and he made her get scolded. Where could she go to seek justice?
"I didn't hit him, nor did I hit him, Grandpa. Qingqing is very good to me, especially good. She doesn't hit me."
Pei Xinghe received the cold stare and quickly expressed his opinion. He didn't want to sleep on the floor. Besides, his wife's period had finally ended. He came back this afternoon on purpose just to perform well and have meat in the evening.
Now he suddenly felt that the meat for dinner was out of his reach, and barbecue didn’t appeal to him much anymore.
The more Pei Xinghe said this, the more Gu Huaian felt that his good boy was bullying others!
Unable to bear to see him working alone, he quickly went back and picked up his two grandsons who were taking a nap to help Pei Xinghe with the work. With a man around his granddaughters, how could he not work?
"Grandpa, what are you doing?" Gu Guoliang was sleepy. Why was he being called when he had just fallen asleep?
"Grandpa, what's going on?" Gu Guodong was much calmer! There must be something wrong if he woke them up!
"Go help your brother-in-law with the work, and let the Pei family kid sleep for a while." He could give orders to his own grandson, but forget about the Fu family kid.
