Gu Qingmeng didn't care whether it looked good or not. She would just make pancakes as big as the pan, one at a time, and one pancake was equivalent to four.
With the appetite of her two younger brothers, she would be exhausted just making pancakes the size of bowls!
Gu Guodong buried a few potatoes in the stove pit, and the potatoes became lunch for the two brothers.
"Guodong, I made some more porridge. You and your brother can heat it up for lunch."
She also brought out some pancakes and put them in the pot after breakfast so that they could be eaten at noon even if they were not hot.
Gu Qing had a good dream, but after breakfast, when she saw the empty pot, she fell silent.
"Sister, I'm going to work."
After saying this, Gu Guodong ran away without even waiting for his younger brother.
"Why is this kid running so fast?"
Su Xue was puzzled. After two days of getting along, she knew that Gu Guodong was a more calm child, while Gu Guoliang was more lively. What happened today? He was acting lively.
"Sister, I'm leaving too. The pancakes you made are so delicious! Can we still have this meat pie tomorrow?"
Gu Guoliang's mouth was covered in grease. As soon as he put down his chopsticks, he started thinking about the next meal. But he was just saying, who can eat meat every day? Only his family can eat meat for two consecutive days. He would only think about eating meat for three consecutive days.
"I think you look like a meat pie. The gong has been struck. Hurry up and take the kettle and go."
Gu Qingmeng directly refused. It was impossible, absolutely impossible, for her to get up and make breakfast every day!
Amidst Su Xue's giggles, Gu Qingmeng explained why Gu Guodong ran away. It was just that he was embarrassed because he ate too much!
They ate all the food she brought out in the morning at noon. The two brothers could only eat potatoes at noon. There were still plenty of cucumbers and tomatoes in the yard, so they would not starve.
"Mengmeng, let's go to the state-owned restaurant for lunch. I don't know if we can buy meat. I still like your braised pork the best!"
Su Xue’s biggest regret is that she didn’t get to eat the braised pork made by Gu Qingmeng in her previous life.
"It should be available. Guan Beibei and the others bought it yesterday."
Gu Qingmeng also wanted to buy some pork fat. It was too tiring to go to Peijiagou once, so she had to buy more things back so that she would have an excuse to take things out. Her two younger brothers were not young anymore, so they couldn't be too obvious.
As soon as I locked the gate, I saw Pei Xinghe and the others waiting on the bridge. This time, there were only five of them going to the commune. Pei Weidong rode a bicycle because he was afraid of tiring the cow.
The job of driving the cart fell on Pei Xinghe. Although there were oxen pulling the cart, they had to get off and walk when they reached steep sections, for fear of tiring the old oxen.
Three hours later, when they arrived at Gaoling County, they saw a long queue outside the supply and marketing cooperative. Gu Qingmeng looked at the time and saw that it was ten minutes before ten o'clock. What was they trying to rush?
Before she could get forward, Su Xue had already squeezed forward and disappeared in an instant. This is the advantage of having a petite figure. She can squeeze under other people's armpits.
There were so many people that they had just stood there for a while when many more people came behind them!
The temperature had risen by ten o'clock. Standing under the scorching sun, Gu Qingmeng felt like she was about to be dried out!
"The supply and marketing cooperative has a back door. Let's go in through the back door. They should be bringing in grain, probably fine grain."
There was no such thing as queuing. Seeing so many people, Pei Xinghe didn't even think about queuing! His sister was selling things at the supply and marketing cooperative, and he had to queue to buy something. Wasn't that a joke?
Gu Qingmeng: ...
Why didn't you say anything just now? Su Xue squeezed in.
"You guys go in! I'll be waiting here for Su Zhiqing and the oxcart."
Pei Weidong took the initiative to stay and wait for people, and asked his cousin to take his sister in. His sister was not in good health and would be dizzy after being exposed to the sun for a while.
Su Xue squeezed in with sweat all over her face. Seeing so many people were buying food, she was disappointed. She thought it was something good.
They had no shortage of food, and the food was obviously stale. Food was difficult to store in this season, and she could clearly see the small black bugs and stones in the rice.
Just as Su Xue was sweating profusely while looking for shopping targets in the supply and marketing cooperative, she suddenly saw three people standing behind the counter.
Very good, very good, extremely good.
Su Xue had never tasted anything bitter in her life except bitter melon, and she was fooled by Pei Xinghe, the dog, in such hot weather.
She was sweating because she didn't tell them earlier that the supply and marketing cooperative had a back door.
"Olaf, come here!"
Gu Qingmeng was already standing next to the meat stall. Everyone was buying food, so the meat was cheaper for her today.
Pei Xinghe had been guarding Gu Qingmeng. Seeing that she had no intention of buying fine grain, he immediately reminded her, "Gu Zhiqing, aren't you going to sell the newly arrived fine grain today? If you miss this opportunity, you'll have to wait until next month to buy fine grain."
Gu Qingmeng: ...
She didn't want to eat rice with bugs in it, so she lied, "I haven't finished the fine grains I brought with me yet. My family should be sending me some food soon, so I won't be buying anything today! I plan to buy more meat. You go get in line to buy the grain! Don't worry about me. We'll meet in the oxcart after we're done."
Su Xue also squeezed next to Gu Qingmeng at this time, staring at Pei Xinghe with unfriendly eyes, and suddenly said: "Where did you come from, man? Why are you cutting in line? Can't you see that everyone is queuing? You are so naughty at such a young age..."
Su Xue talked a lot and successfully portrayed Pei Xinghe as a bad man who cut in line and had low quality.
Of course, Pei Xinghe knew why he offended Su Xue, and he would remember this grudge in the future.
Under the angry stares of the crowd, Pei Xinghe slowly walked towards the office area of the supply and marketing cooperative. Every time new fine grains arrived, the supply and marketing cooperative would keep some for internal consumption. He had some friendship with the director of the supply and marketing cooperative, so it was easy for him to buy these grains. It was his sister Pei Xiuzhen's job to help buy them.
"Hmph! A tasteless man."
Su Xue snorted coldly, but the anger in her heart did not subside.
"Ola, drink some water to cool down. Don't be angry. I should have held you back just now."
Gu Qingmeng handed the bottle of happy water to Su Xue and patiently coaxed her best friend.
How could Su Xue turn her face away from her best friend? It was all that dog's fault. The two of them went to buy pork happily and affectionately, then left the supply and marketing cooperative with their mouths wide open, holding the meat.
Pei Weidong: ...
Pei Xiaohua: ...
Pei Xinghe noticed something was wrong with several people before he even reached the ox cart with the food.
Gu Qingmeng weighed the pros and cons. A man's happiness was not as important as her best friend's. She said softly, "Comrade Pei, can we trouble you for a favor? We bought some meat but don't know how to clean it. Could you help us clean it up when you get home?"
Pei Xinghe heard Gu Qingmeng talking to him and subconsciously thought that she had bought some living thing and was afraid to kill it, so she asked him for help. He did not notice that Pei Weidong and Pei Xiaohua were pinching their noses.
"Okay, I promise to clean it up for you."
As he approached the ox cart, Pei Xinghe smelled a toilet odor: "Pei Weidong, you parked the ox cart right on top of a shit pit! It stinks so bad, why don't you move somewhere else? It stinks!"
"Thumb, tap, tap, are you surprised? Are you surprised?" Su Xue held up a set of pig offal she bought and smiled brightly.
When she met Pei Xinghe for the first time, Su Xue discovered that men were very clean. This country man dressed himself so cleanly and tidyly, he must have mysophobia!
