"Sister, go wash up! I added some more water to the pot, it's enough for you. After you wash up, come to our room."
Gu Guodong hesitated to speak, and glanced at Su Xue before leaving.
Gu Qingmeng didn't notice his brother's eyes, and pulled Su Xue to the wing room. It was half an hour later when the two of them came out of the space after taking a shower. They also took out some food, bacon and sausages, and a casserole, which could be used to stew soup or cook porridge.
She returned to her room, took two bags of milk powder and two kilograms of peach cakes and went to her brothers' rooms.
Boom boom boom!
"Is Guodong and Guoliang asleep?"
Gu Qingmeng was holding something in one hand and a candle in the other. She had found two bundles of candles in her luggage. Twenty candles in each bundle, enough for them to use for a while.
"Sister, come in quickly, we are not asleep yet!"
Gu Guoliang's voice was heard, and Gu Qingmeng saw two smiling faces when she approached. It felt good to have a younger brother?
"Why did you call me over? This is the milk powder I brought for you. From now on, have a cup each morning and evening, and eat peach cakes for breakfast. I can't get up in the morning, so I won't cook for you." Gu Qingmeng said this without blushing or heartbeat. She just couldn't get up in the morning, and she didn't know what to do when she went to work.
"Sister, who is that Su Xue? I haven't heard that you have a good friend named Su Xue? Is she a new acquaintance?"
Gu Guodong looked at Gu Qingmeng's expression as he spoke. His sister didn't like anyone interfering in her affairs. If he found that his sister was unhappy in the slightest, he would stop talking.
"Sister, you can't be cheated. You bought the house, you can't let people live in it for free. Don't you hate being at a disadvantage?"
Gu Guoliang is not that colourful. He just says whatever he wants to say without thinking too much.
"Well... she and I have been pen pals for many years. She paid for half of the house. Don't think about it. How can I suffer any loss?"
Gu Qingmeng thought for a long time before coming up with the word "pen pal", and also maintained the original owner's personality of loving money and not suffering any loss.
"Oh, she's really stupid! She took half the money, but only your name was written on the certificate sent by the captain."
Gu Guoliang chuckled foolishly. His sister was so mean. There were three people in their family living in this house, but Su Xue lived alone and she paid half of the money for the house. Wasn't she a complete fool?
Gu Qingmeng: She had no way to refute it.
"How have you been doing these days in the countryside? Are you tired? You're still growing, so just do what you can. Work points aren't important. I can support you."
I don’t know which words touched the brothers’ tears. Gu Guodong lowered his head and shed tears, and Gu Guoliang broke down and cried. The crying scared Gu Qingmeng so much that she trembled and wax dripped onto her hands.
She didn't care about the pain anymore and quickly asked the brothers what happened? Were they bullied?
"Sister! Our dad is such a jerk! He told us that Northeast China is full of game, that we can eat pheasants, rabbits, and wild boars as much as we want, and we can catch them just by going up the mountain. He actually lied to us. Where is the meat? We've been here for so long and haven't seen any meat! We'll see snakes every day, and the worst part is that we have to release insects every day. Ah! I'm so pitiful!"
"Sister, were you also deceived by him?"
Gu Guoliang's crying attracted Su Xue over. When the two brothers saw that there were outsiders around, they quickly wiped away their tears because they wanted to save face.
"What's wrong? I miss home!"
She cried so miserably.
"Humph! No way."
Gu Guoliang wanted to say that he would not argue with a fool, but he really missed home. He wanted to eat the braised pork and roast duck made by his mother, but as new educated youth, they did not have any holiday for the Chinese New Year in their first year, so he could not eat roast duck this year. He was so pitiful!
He wiped his tears and turned his head away. Is it okay for him to cry secretly where no one can see?
As long as no one saw him, he didn't cry.
Gu Qingmeng caught a word and released the bugs. It was not what she thought, right?
"Guodong, what kind of insects are you releasing? Are there a lot of snakes here?"
Gu Qingmeng didn't realize that her voice was trembling. In her previous life, she had seen a lot of strange things on short videos. What she feared most was the big green worm, the predecessor of the silkworm pupa. She was also shocked by the fact that her two younger brothers were deceived by their own father to go to the countryside. How could they believe everything when they were so old?
"It's the local specialty here, silkworms. I heard that next month we'll have to pick the silkworms from the mountains to exchange for the silkworm farm. There are so many snakes here, even poisonous ones."
Gu Guodong was a little worried that his sister couldn't handle it. She was most afraid of snakes. If she didn't go to work, she didn't know what the team leader would say. He was not as easy to fool as Gu Guoliang. Something must have happened at home for his sister to go to the countryside!
Otherwise, they would not let my sister go to the countryside. Even if my sister wanted to come, she couldn't. There are two people in the cowshed in Peijiagou. I heard that they are professors from the school. Will grandpa and dad also go to the cowshed for reform?
Gu Qingmeng's face turned pale with fright. She swallowed and said, "I bought snake repellent and mosquito repellent before I came here. You should bring them with you when you go to work tomorrow."
After saying that, Gu Qingmeng went back to the house, took out the medicine bag, handed two snake repellents to her brother, and asked them to hang mosquito repellent next to the window.
When he returned to the room, Gu Qingmeng found that he was sweating and his head was full of big green bugs.
"Ola...Olaf, what should we do?"
At this moment, Gu Qingmeng felt that the road ahead was bleak. She could not do any farm work at all, and she could not even climb the mountain because she was afraid of snakes.
"It's okay, I'll stay with you. With the space our ancestors gave us, how can we not starve to death? Let's go and farm."
Su Xue now thinks that farming is nothing special. Anything is better than raising silkworms. She can learn anything.
Thinking about his future life, Gu Qingmeng also felt that he could cultivate two acres of land. Tomorrow he must ask the team leader if there is any work that does not require going up the mountain. Work points are not important. If he can avoid working, that would be the best.
