Gu Qingmeng cut the blanched intestines and lungs into pieces, sliced the heart, put them into a large pot, added boiling water and the prepared ingredients, and stewed them over low heat. Unfortunately, there was no fried tofu.
The fragrance slowly drifted out of the yard. Just as Gu Qingmeng was about to knead the dough and make pancakes, she saw Pei Xinghe walk into the kitchen with a bag in his hand. The bag looked very familiar. It was the Fuqiang flour they sold.
"This is our ration."
Pei Xinghe put five kilograms of white flour in the kitchen. He knew that Gu Qingmeng had enough food. When he saw the five kilograms of Fuqiang flour today, he wanted to buy it and give it to her. Only good things were worthy of her.
"No, take it back and feed it to Aunt Shuqin. You already helped clean up the pigs, so you don't need to take more rations."
Gu Qingmeng quickly refused. One reason was that she had no shortage of food, and the other was that she thought that cleaning the pig offal was enough to make up for a meal. If they were asked to clean it themselves, they would rather not eat the braised pork.
"I bought the fine grains, and I was paid for cleaning the pigs' offal."
After saying that, Pei Xinghe showed the two candies in his hand to Gu Qingmeng, secretly complaining. How aggrieved could his expression be?
Pei Xiaohua slipped out in an instant. It wasn't that she was tactful, but not everyone could stand to see her cousin making such a fool of himself.
When Su Xue saw Pei Xiaohua come out, she immediately put down the garlic in her hand and went into the kitchen. Could she let Pei Xinghe and Gu Qingmeng be alone together? Of course not!
When they entered, they saw Pei Xinghe showing off the candies in his hand. Su Xue said, "Comrade Pei, do you think these two pieces of candy are not worthy of your attention? Do you believe that I can offer you two pieces of candy? There are plenty of people to help clean up the pig's offal."
"Su Zhiqing, I don't mind these two candies. Two candies are already a lot. You can come to me next time if you need them."
Pei Xinghe's appearance as a wronged young wife, coupled with his face, makes people feel distressed.
Gu Qingmeng thought he was wronged, so she gave him more meat to eat in the evening. As for refuting her bestie's words, she had never thought about it. It was impossible for her to hit her in the face. She didn't expect this man to have some green tea attributes.
"Humph! He's just putting on airs. Mengmeng, you can't trust him! This man is so evil! He must have planned for me to step on cow dung today!"
Falling on the cow dung was most likely an accident. She is a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. A gentleman's revenge is never too late, and she will definitely take revenge!
"I can't even keep the clothes anymore. This debt has to be put on him."
Thinking of Su Xue, she got angry again! She picked up the kitchen knife and started chopping garlic. Pei Weidong heard the sound outside and swallowed his saliva subconsciously. The three cousins sat quietly in the yard.
Black Panther drooled as he stared at the three people, occasionally looking back at the kitchen. He was hungry, the smell was too good! It was enough to make a dog drool!
"Brother Dong, if you like Su Zhiqing, just chase her. I'm optimistic about you."
Pei Xinghe suddenly spoke, and his call of "Brother Dong" made Pei Weidong shudder.
"Hei... Hei, you're joking."
Pei Weidong subconsciously called out Pei Xinghe's nickname. He was called Brother Black not because he was dark-skinned, but because he fought with ruthless hands. Seeing his cousin's gaze, he closed his eyes and said, "Okay, I'll chase you."
Anyway, he also liked Su Xue. He had saved some money in the past few years. At worst, he could split the money and live on his own. Otherwise, he would not want the things at home anymore.
"Weidong, it's not worth torturing yourself for others! Second Auntie must want you to live a good life! Let's separate and live separately!"
Pei Xinghe rarely speaks out his advice. He knows a little about what his cousin has been thinking these years. Is it just that he doesn't want his stepmother to get advantage?
But what did it matter if it was cheap or not? It was just a few mud houses. If they divided it per person, Pei Weidong wouldn't even get one. The two of them had made some money on the black market over the years, so they still had enough money to build a house.
It wasn't that he, as the cousin, was chasing people away, but his brothers were all married, and it was inevitable that some of them would tell Pei Xiaohua something. They didn't dare to say it in front of him and his parents, but he could guess a thing or two. That was human nature.
"Brother, just listen to Fourth Brother! Let's go out and live alone. You can get married and have children, and I'll help you take care of your sister-in-law."
Pei Xiaohua followed suit and persuaded him, saying that she wanted to live with her brother and sister-in-law, and if her sister-in-law didn't dislike her in the future, she would help with the housework.
If they disliked her, she would build a small house for herself to live in. Since her brother started making money, she had saved all the pocket money he gave her. She now had more than 30 yuan, which was enough to build a house.
After hearing what his sister said, Pei Weidong made a final decision!
"Okay, I got it, brother."
Hearing the sound of the gong, Gu Qingmeng's braised pork was ready. She filled a large bowl for Pei Heixiong and brought four white flour pancakes over. Pei Dazhuang's family also prepared a large bowl.
There was a ready-made errand runner in the yard, so Gu Qingmeng didn't need to go there in person. She just fried some cabbage with lard and started eating.
As soon as the two younger brothers came back, they saw Aunt Shuqin appear at the door.
"Auntie is here, come in and try the special food I made."
Gu Qingmeng greeted them with a smile. She liked the captain and his wife very much. They were good people and it was very comfortable to get along with them.
"Auntie won't eat it, you guys keep it for yourselves."
Zhang Shuqin went to work today, and when she returned home she found that Lao Si and Xiao Hua were not at home. She guessed that they were here.
"It's time for dinner, why aren't you going home? What are you doing here?"
Unlike her gentleness towards Gu Qingmeng, Zhang Shuqin looked at her son with gritted teeth. Not to mention that he had no one to date, even if he really got together with Gu girl, it would not be appropriate for him to stay here. Just wait and see how she would deal with him when she got home?
He actually brought his cousins to stay here just to stay a little longer. How could he be so ambitious?
"Mother...me."
Before Pei Xinghe could finish his words, Zhang Shuqin slapped him. In the end, Gu Qingmeng stepped in to stop her, and they didn't even get to have dinner.
Gu Qingmeng found a small basin and filled it with a pot of stewed food for them to take away. She also gave them half of the white flour pancakes. But where was the five pounds of white flour? You couldn't accept it for free.
Didn’t you receive two dried rabbits from Pei Dazhuang yesterday?
"Sister, you've made a fortune! Can our family eat meat every day?"
Gu Guoliang asked the question in his mind only after everyone had left. He had eaten a few roasted potatoes at noon, and started to feel uncomfortable in the afternoon. Now his stomach growled when he smelled meat.
"Sister, what's the name of this dog? Are we going to keep it from now on?"
Gu Guodong likes black panthers very much, and nothing attracts him more than their meat.
"Its name is Black Panther. We will keep it from now on. And it will soon be a mother."
Gu Qingmeng thought Gu Guoliang would like Black Panther more, but unexpectedly, it was Gu Guodong who liked it.
"Oh! Not only do we have to raise it, but we also have to raise its children in the future! Sis, you should just give it away! What's the point of raising it?"
Gu Guoliang curled his lips. There were pig lungs in the cornmeal porridge. It would be great for him to eat it. It would be a waste to feed it to the dog.
"I'm giving you away. What's the point of raising you? Hurry up and eat. Black Panther will be your sister from now on. After you finish eating, Gu Guoliang will wash the dishes."
Gu Qingmeng slapped Gu Guoliang again. This kid was so naughty.
