Gu Guoliang was not angry when his sister beat him. He was still happy. He was happy to be full, and even happier to have meat to eat.
"Sister, I'm much more useful than a dog. I'll be able to honor you in the future. Wow! It smells so good! It smells even better than what the chefs at state-owned restaurants make. Whoever marries you in the future will be so lucky!"
"My sister won't marry, so I'll find a son-in-law in the future."
"Yes, yes, you can't get married, otherwise where can we eat such delicious food!"
Gu Guodong ignored his silly brother. Gu Qingmeng rolled her eyes. She deserved to cook for them.
"I've decided! From now on, you two will learn how to cook from me. We'll cook in pairs, one for each day."
Gu Qingmeng began to set the house rules! In the Gu family, there is no such thing as men not entering the kitchen. They all have to take turns cooking.
Gu Guodong: "Sister, I'll be in your group."
Gu Guoliang: "Ah! Gu Guodong, you are so cunning!"
"You two don't have to fight. Your sister is in the same group with me."
Su Xue pinched her waist and laughed out loud. Under the angry gazes of the two brothers, she hugged Gu Qingmeng and kissed him.
Gu Guodong: ...
It’s over, his sister might like women.
Gu Guoliang: ...
His sister was taken advantage of, but on second thought, they were both girls so it wasn't considered taking advantage of.
For dinner, Gu Qingmeng and Su Xue each ate a bowl of braised pork and a pancake, and the rest went into the brothers' stomachs.
Gu Qingmeng was no longer surprised. She put down her dishes and went back to her room to open the package. Such a big package was sent from Beijing, and she hadn't opened it yet?
Su Xue followed closely behind. She loved unpacking packages.
The two of them chatted in the room for a long time before they sorted out the package. Inside were the dried fruits that Gu Qingmeng liked to eat, and two down jackets, one red and one blue. It was obvious that they were bought by the two aunts.
There are ten pounds of rice and flour, and most importantly, there is also a ham. No wonder the package is so heavy!
These fine grains are probably saved by my uncle and grandfather. They don't lack food themselves, so it seems I need to send more things back. They won't believe me even if I write back saying I don't lack food.
"This dried mango is a scarce commodity."
Su Xue held a bag of mangoes and chewed them. They were not too sweet, but had the natural taste of mangoes, which she liked.
"My cousin is serving in the army in the south. I should be able to receive it in a few days."
Her cousin from her uncle's family treats her very well and sends her snacks almost every month. He would be surprised to hear that she has gone to the countryside! He might even come over directly.
Gu Qing's dream was correct. Fu Hang and Fu Yu from a certain southern military region were standing in a stalemate in the leadership office.
"Boss, I'm worried about my sister going to the countryside. I hope you can approve her leave."
"Boss, I'm also asking for leave. I'm worried about my sister going to the countryside. I hope you'll approve my leave."
The two brothers fought hard to get leave. They blocked their leader for a whole day and finally caught him. But they wouldn't leave until they got the leave application?
"Do you know what you're talking about? A lot of people are on vacation right now. You'll be on vacation soon. Now get out!" Who did he offend? He'd been hiding all day, but he didn't expect these two guys to block his door.
"Hey! Political Commissar, why are you scolding people? Why can they take leave? We brothers can't take leave. We want to go to the Northeast." Fu Yu quit immediately when he heard that he would not be given leave. His delicate and soft sister went to the countryside, and he was worried if he didn't go to see her.
"Only one person can leave. Let's discuss who should take the leave." The political commissar had a headache from the noise, so he had no choice but to grant leave, but only one person could leave.
"I'm leaving." Fu Yu said first.
"Okay, you take a break first, I'll take a break during the New Year." Fu Hang's original plan was to take a break during the New Year. The educated youth were not allowed to go back to the city to celebrate the New Year in the first year after going to the countryside, so he just happened to go and spend the New Year with his sister.
"Fu Hang, you are treacherous."
Fu Yu didn't feel very happy when he got the holiday. He also wanted to spend the New Year with his sister and give her New Year's money.
"Ring, ring, ring..."
Fu Yu:.......It’s over, his vacation is gone, he can only send packages.
......
Gu Qingmeng and Su Xue cleaned up all the food in the house. The bacon and sausages were hung in the side room, and the grain was placed in the cupboard. They had not had time to eat the crayfish that Shuqin gave them yesterday, so they could only keep them and eat them tomorrow.
After packing up, Gu Qingmeng took out a large bone and waited for the black panther to come back before letting it grind its teeth.
The Gu Guodong brothers took Black Panther out to play. They probably wouldn't come back until it was dark. After all, children are full of energy! How could a normal person have the energy to walk the dog after a day's work?
"Mengmeng, the sky here is so blue and there are so many stars."
Su Xue looked up at the sky, her thoughts drifting away. Would her parents, each with their own families, be sad to hear the news of her death? I don't think they would be sad! Once she died, they would no longer have any interest in her!
She had signed the body donation agreement long ago, so they didn't have to bother burying her. She was so foresighted that she didn't leave anything for them.
"I think that red down jacket suits you very well, so I'll give it to you if you see it."
Gu Qingmeng saw that Su Xue was in a bad mood, so she gently changed the subject and pulled her to work. The vegetables in the yard could be picked again. It seemed that there were fresh vegetables to pick every day. The dried potatoes that were dried yesterday were almost ready to be harvested. They would be completely dry after another day of drying tomorrow!
Tomorrow she plans to ask Aunt Shuqin to exchange some dried mushrooms, preferably more, as well as some dried chicken and dried rabbit, and then send them to her grandfather and grandfather-in-law next time she goes to the commune.
"Sister, we are back. Why are there so many things outside our house?" Gu Guoliang shouted.
"Don't make a fuss, take it back first." Gu Guodong probably guessed the reason.
Gu Qingmeng heard the sound and went out to take a look. There were a lot of miscellaneous things piled up at the door of their yard, including dried vegetables, dried mushrooms, fresh wild vegetables, and two small woven baskets.
She recognized this basket. They bought it from the carpenter in the village yesterday. They were the only family living by the river, so there was no possibility that these things were delivered to the wrong place. It must be that the villagers specially sent them to them.
"Sister, the team leader held a meeting this morning and told us that you are going to build a school for the village. These may be gifts from the villagers to thank you!" said Gu Guodong.
"It should be. Take it back first. I'll ask the captain tomorrow."
They cannot accept these things. Everyone is living in a tight spot at this time, and they would feel guilty if they accepted these things.
"Sister, guess what happened in the village?"
Gu Guoliang had a gossipy look on his face, waiting for his sister to ask him what happened in the village.
"Forget it."
Gu Qingmeng would never satisfy her brother's desire to talk. If he had the ability, he would just keep it to himself and not say anything.
"Hey, let me cooperate with you! What happened in the village?"
Su Xue was amused by Gu Guoliang's little expression and laughed.
"There was a fight at the captain's house, and a lot of people were there to watch. Grandpa Pei was there, as were many elders from Peijiagou. Xinghe went to look for them, and Sister Xiaohua was crying the whole time. She looked so pitiful."
Gu Guoliang heard Su Xue cooperating with him and chattering non-stop.
"Just shut up! You can't even explain something clearly, Guodong, tell me."
Gu Qingmeng listened for a long time but couldn't understand what was going on. She could only pin her hopes on Gu Guodong, asking him to explain what was going on. How could the captain fight for no reason? With Pei Xinghe around, there shouldn't be any fight!
