"Sister, look at what you said. How could I favor boys over girls? I had a dream. I dreamed that my two nephews jumped into my arms and played with me." Gu Guoliang retorted with a smile.
He is not burdened with the burden of favoring boys over girls. Gu Guodong laughed on the side and had no intention of speaking for his brother because he also dreamed of his two nephews.
He knew that his sister and brother-in-law were hoping for a girl, so he didn't even mention it.
"Impossible, you must have seen it wrong! I dreamed of a girl in a little skirt, it must be a girl! There must be at least one girl!"
Gu Qingmeng brainwashed herself. She did dream of two children. They were two little babies wearing skirts. They were very beautiful and cute. At the end, the two children peeing while standing scared her awake.
But, isn't it said that dreams are the opposite of reality? So she was pregnant with two daughters, definitely daughters!
"I wanted to make tofu stuffed with meat for you, but now I don't have any. Let's just eat tofu with sauce tonight!"
Gu Qingmeng was still angry and decided to reduce the food for her two younger brothers and let them eat vegetarian food today.
"No, sister, I was wrong. I was wrong. I dreamed of two lovely nieces, not a bad boy. Let's have tofu stuffed with meat tonight! Grandpa will definitely like it! If we add fried tofu and stewed braised meat, Grandpa can drink two taels of wine."
Gu Guoliang carried his grandfather out with a smile. He knew that as long as his grandfather liked to eat something, his sister would prepare it no matter how much trouble it would cause.
With him and his brother helping today, his sister doesn't have to do anything, she just needs to talk.
Gu Qingmeng has been taken care of by Aunt Han these days. Grandpa and Dad had wanted to eat braised pork before, so it was a good opportunity for them to make it together today and fry some dried tofu and tofu puffs.
Send some to Su Xue as well, and also to Third Sister-in-law and Sister Xiuzhen!
"Sister, you need to bring some tofu to Sister Xue! I'll go get it later."
Gu Guodong spoke first. He was helping Su Xue make cookies during the holiday. The agreed wage was one dollar a day. He and his brother had worked for seven days in total, so it was time to get paid.
They want to buy a New Year's present for their little nephew.
Gu Qingmeng naturally had no objection to someone running errands for her. Before starting to make tofu, she put the braised meat into the pot first. There were a few large bones in the warehouse in the backyard, and she planned to braise them together.
The prepared marinade will not be wasted. Tomorrow is the 23rd day of the 12th lunar month, the Little New Year. In a few days, it will be time to braise the chickens and ducks at home.
Making tofu is quick as long as you grind it and boil it. Add the brine and soy milk and let it stand for a while until it becomes flocculent. Then scoop it into the tofu mold, press it, and wait for an hour until it is almost formed.
They made two plates of tofu, and Aunt Han also left a small pot of tofu pudding. Gu Qingmeng suddenly had an idea and melted some brown sugar water in hot water and froze it. She wanted to eat the cool brown sugar tofu pudding.
Seeing her pondering new things, Gu Guodong and Gu Guoliang surrounded her.
Only Han Qiongyin understood what she was going to do?
"Mengmeng, you have to eat sweet tofu pudding hot, not cold, or you'll get a stomachache. Xinghe's not around tonight, so be sure to call me if you need to go to the bathroom!"
Han Qiongyin did not suggest sleeping with Gu Qingmeng. She could see that the young couple did not like others entering their room.
"Okay, Aunt Han, don't worry about me. I don't get up at night very often."
Gu Qingmeng often eats supper in the space at night, so naturally she goes to the bathroom in the space. Now it is so cold outside, she doesn't want to freeze her butt.
But I have to go there several times a day in front of Aunt Han, otherwise she would think of me as a Pi Xiu. In the past few days, she always made laxative meals for me. Fortunately, I didn’t point it out directly, otherwise it would be so embarrassing!
She was also knowledgeable and understood what Aunt Han meant immediately. Normal pregnant women would suffer from constipation after their belly grew bigger, but she really didn't!
Her bowel movements were extremely smooth. Gu Qingmeng felt that the baby in her belly was an angel baby because she did not feel any discomfort during her pregnancy and had not vomited at all.
Aunt Han was the one who prepared the fried tofu. Gu Qingmeng was drooling as she held a bowl of brown sugar ice tofu. She took two small bites and gave it to Gu Guodong and his brother.
"Sister, you failed at this! It's not very tasty. If I wasn't afraid of wasting brown sugar, I wouldn't eat it."
Gu Guoliang started chattering again! It wasn't until Gu Qingmeng gave him a loving lesson from an older sister that he rubbed his ears and stopped talking.
After the tofu was fried, Gu Qingmeng divided it into two portions. He also took out two portions of the braised meat and fresh tofu. Gu Guodong sent one portion to Su Xue's house, and Gu Guoliang sent the other portion to Pei Xiuzhen at the supply and marketing cooperative.
Gu Guodong arrived at Su Xue's house, put down his things, and then pulled Su Xue aside.
"Sister Xue, it's time for us to settle the accounts." Gu Guodong said with a serious expression, as if doing his job impartially.
Su Xue widened her eyes. No, what score did she want to settle with Guodong's brother?
The two brothers helped her with work for a week, and she bought a pair of hiking shoes for each of them, which cost her more than 60 yuan. It was not that she refused to pay, but Mengmeng said she would not give them too much money.
Gu Guodong clenched his fists. "No, what do you mean? Sister Xue wants to shirk her debt?"
That shouldn't be the case! Senior has always been generous to them.
Su Xue coughed lightly, feeling a little guilty for some reason: "Ahem... why do you need so much money at such a young age? Didn't I buy you some hiking shoes?"
Gu Guodong nodded and said he bought them hiking shoes, but he didn't say that he used his wages to pay for them! "Sister Xue, we don't want the shoes anymore, we want money. I'm still waiting for the money!"
Su Xue: ...
