"These are the spare ribs your third sister-in-law asked me to buy for you. Eat more to replenish your body. I'll be leaving first. I have to be on duty soon."
Pei Zhenxing put down his things and left. His fourth brother was going to be a father, and he was very happy for him.
"The ribs on the kitchen floor were bought by the fourth brother. I didn't buy any more after seeing him buy them, but I didn't expect the third brother to buy some too. From now on, the fourth brother will do the yard work, and you must not touch it."
Pei Xiuzhen works very similarly to Zhang Shuqin, with quick and nimble hands and feet. Gu Qingmeng saw that almost all the vegetables in the yard had been picked, and the newly grown weeds had also been removed.
"Sister, you are so capable!"
Gu Qingmeng couldn't help but admire her. She could also do some work in the vegetable garden, but it was only a little after eleven o'clock. Pei Xiuzhen only worked for a whole morning, but she had cleaned up her vegetable garden. How could she not admire her speed?
"Hey! I'm used to it. What can't I do? Are you hungry? I'll make you some food."
Pei Xiuzhen picked up a handful of side dishes and planned to cook a bowl of vegetable and egg noodles for Gu Qingmeng. The first meal should not be too greasy, otherwise if you feel nauseous, you will not be able to eat for the whole day.
"Thank you, sister! I'm not being polite with you. I'm craving the noodles you cooked. Sister, I pickled some salted duck eggs earlier. You can take them back later."
Gu Qingmeng was really craving for vegetable noodles at this moment. She had eaten noodles cooked by Pei Xiuzhen once before and thought they were delicious. Now that she was pregnant, she was really drooling at the thought.
"Okay, I won't be polite with you either."
Pei Xiuzhen is not a shy person. Her younger brother and sister-in-law are experts at pickling salted duck eggs. The egg whites are not salty and the egg yolks are oily. Everyone in the family likes to eat them.
She pickled the duck eggs twice but both times they were too salty, so she stopped pickling them to avoid wasting the eggs.
Gu Qingmeng liked Pei Xiuzhen's straightforwardness, and the two of them had a delicious meal of white noodles.
As soon as they put down their chopsticks, they heard Su Xue's voice.
"Weidong's wife is here. You two have such a good relationship. The last time I saw her in the city, she seemed listless. Isn't she different after the confinement period?"
Pei Xiuzhen smiled as she saw someone coming in, "Xiaoxue is here, come in and sit down! I'll go wash the dishes while you guys chat."
"Mengmeng, you're really pregnant! Let me see my godson! Now my son has a playmate."
Su Xue was very happy, but when she thought about her best friend who had always taken care of her, tears instantly came to her eyes.
"Mengmeng, you've worked hard to take care of me these days. Let me take care of you from now on!"
Su Xue secretly made up her mind to learn how to cook so that she could take care of her best friend during her confinement period next year.
"Don't cry, aren't you going back to Peijiagou tomorrow? Have you decided on a specific date for the full moon banquet?"
Gu Qingmeng quickly changed the subject. She didn't want to see Su Xue cry. This girl should smile every day.
"Pei Weidong will go back and treat everyone himself. The mountain road is too far, so we won't bother Zhuangzhuang to go back!"
Su Xue originally didn't want to hold a full-moon banquet, but Pei Weidong insisted on going back to Peijiagou to hold the banquet. However, the journey was a bit far, so they didn't want to bother the child to go back.
"Okay, this is the full moon gift grandpa gave you, you can take a look at it when you go back." Gu Qingmeng took out a set of silver jewelry custom-made by his grandfather!
Su Xue was touched: "Thank Grandpa for me! I'll bring Zhuangzhuang to thank him in person someday. Oh, and I brought pig's trotters and pork elbows. You can enjoy them as you like."
Su Xue knew that her best friend had no shortage of food. A few days ago, she had been mumbling about wanting to eat spicy pork trotters and pork elbow rice. When she learned about her pregnancy today, she immediately arranged it for her best friend.
She will be in charge of making snacks for her bestie from now on. Knowing that her cooking skills are not good enough, Su Xue should forget about the food she wants. She should just buy the car and house for her godson in the future!
"I will take care of my godson's house and car from now on, and I will double it for my goddaughter."
From now on, she will be responsible for making money and her best friend will be responsible for spending money.
"Thank you! What are your plans now? Xiaohua is taking care of Zhuangzhuang, so you must be busy!"
Gu Qingmeng knew that her best friend wanted to make money. She had no milk since her caesarean section, Zhuangzhuang was fed with milk powder, and Pei Xiaohua was taking care of the child. She must want to start a business!
"Hey! I can't hide anything from you. Let's build a bigger oven. Weidong's cousin was almost beaten to death by her husband! His uncle wrote to me asking for help, so I decided to make some cookies and sell them on the black market."
Su Xue is very disgusted with men who commit domestic violence. She heard from Pei Weidong that his uncle had been sending food to them and his sister, and now his cousin is in trouble, he wants to help.
"Are you divorced? Do you have children? Make sure they resolve their conflict before coming over. Otherwise, what if the domestic violence man comes looking for you?"
Gu Qingmeng knew that Su Xue was a person who was tough on the outside but soft on the inside, and Pei Weidong must want to help his cousin from his uncle's family!
She had no objection to helping relatives, but she had to think clearly about the follow-up issues of this matter. If the person had not divorced and came here, and the domestic violence man chased her and showed her the marriage certificate, they had no right to stop her.
Also, this person has a tendency to violence. What if he hurts someone after we find him?
"I heard they're getting divorced? I wouldn't take her in if they weren't divorced."
Su Xue also didn't want to do anything thankless.
"It's good that you have an idea. Last time Pei Weidong mentioned Xiaohua's marriage, what did you think?"
Gu Qingmeng felt that she was destined to be cheated on. Xiaohua did not dare to refute Pei Weidong, but came to her and said that she did not want to get married.
"Xiaohua told me she didn't want to get married, but that bastard Pei Weidong disagreed, saying things like, 'We're a laughing stock!' He even asked her to get along with more boys."
Su Xue didn't say that she had a big fight with Pei Weidong because of her sister-in-law's marriage. She supported all the decisions made by her sister-in-law.
But Pei Weidong disagreed with everything. He wanted Pei Xiaohua to meet more young talents. Maybe they would develop feelings for each other and want to get married. What if his sister regretted not getting married?
