Chapter 33: Ghost



"Sister, don't listen to Guoliang's nonsense. The fight wasn't between the captain's family, but between the captain's brother's family, Pei Weidong's. Pei Weidong's stepmother said he was haunted by a ghost. He stayed up all night sharpening a knife in her room, saying he was going to chop people... and that's when the fight finally started. I heard they're going to split up the family."

Gu Guodong spoke clearly and explained the whole thing from beginning to end.

Gu Qingmeng and Su Xue's eyes met. Wasn't this the idea she had thought of for Pei Xiaohua?

How did Pei Weidong use it?

When I thought of Pei Weidong's face, a picture immediately appeared in my mind: a tall and strong man sharpening a knife at midnight. Anyone who saw him would think that he was going to sharpen the knife to chop someone?

No, I can’t think about it anymore. Why does the picture look a bit scary?

“Hahaha…hahaha!”

Su Xue almost died of laughter! This Pei Weidong is quite interesting.

"Sister, I'm hungry." Gu Guoliang touched his stomach. They had just finished dinner not long ago, so why was he hungry again?

Gu Qingmeng: ...

Brother, do you want to listen to what you are saying? Did the food you just ate leak out?

"Hehe! There are still crayfish in Mengmeng's basin." Su Xue pointed to the wooden basin. It was just right to have some midnight snack after eight o'clock.

Gu Qingmeng could only accept his fate and stand up, directing the three people to clean the crayfish, chop the garlic, and light the fire. Soon a pot of garlic crayfish was out of the pot, accompanied by a large bowl of noodles.

"Sister, don't you want to eat?" Gu Guodong felt a little embarrassed. They had never eaten enough when they were in Beijing. Unexpectedly, living alone with his sister, he had already had a full meal for two days.

"I'm not hungry, you guys eat!"

Gu Qingmeng was free anyway, so she prepared the water for pickling salted duck eggs tomorrow. Just as she was about to pour out the water for cooking noodles, she was stopped by Gu Guoliang.

Watching the two brothers gulp down the water used to cook noodles, Gu Qingmeng was completely speechless!

"You two have such a big appetite! You'll definitely grow up!"

Su Xue covered her mouth and laughed. No, she was also at the age of growing up, and she must eat more in the future!

She can eat half a bowl more of rice when eating with these two brothers.

"I'd rather eat less and grow shorter."

Gu Guoliang lowered his head and said, "When I was at home, because I ate too much, I didn't know how many times my mother scolded me and beat me."

When Gu Qingmeng heard her brother's murmurs, her heart ached. She couldn't tell whether it was the original owner's emotion or her own.

She has the memories of the original owner. The original owner has always had a big appetite and ate well. Even in years of disaster, she could always eat her fill.

Now I think that the whole family saved money to support her, and her two younger brothers may have never had enough to eat. This love is a bit heavy.

"I'll make delicious food for you every day from now on. I guarantee you'll have enough to eat. Tomorrow is my last day off, so I'll buy some dried mushrooms and game to send back home."

Not only did they need to eat their fill, but the whole family also needed to eat their fill, including their uncle and grandfather. Before going to bed, Gu Qingmeng took out some beef jerky and put it in her brother's room, ignoring their refusal.

"Mengmeng, thank you for your hard work. Be sure to wake me up tomorrow when you get up! I'll make breakfast for you."

Su Xue was determined to learn how to cook, so she got up early the next day. She looked at the smoking stove and the exploded kang and fell into deep thought.

"Wow, wow, wow... Mengmeng, I'm so useless! I actually set the kang on fire and it exploded."

Gu Qingmeng: ...

"It's okay, it's okay...Are you hurt? Nothing is more important than you."

In fact, Gu Qingmeng wanted to take a photo first! The two of them were in such a messed-up state now, it was a rare sight, so they should keep a souvenir, but when they saw the younger brothers rushing over without shoes,

She swallowed the words in her mouth, quickly said that she was fine, and began to comfort a few people.

"Sister Su Xue, you set off a bomb! If you don't want to live, don't hold my sister hostage. Look at what you've done to my sister."

Gu Guoliang spoke directly, and his face immediately turned bad when he knew that it was Su Xue who burned the kang.

"Sister Su Xue, don't go into the kitchen next time. Guo Liang and I will learn how to light the fire and cook. You just need to accompany my sister."

Although Gu Guodong spoke politely, he was just about to point at Su Xue's nose and say that she was incompetent at anything.

"Guodong and Guoliang, you two should pack up. Let's go change clothes." Gu Qingmeng pulled Su Xue along and comforted her as they walked. "Xuebao, you're just not suited to kitchen work. Look, aren't you better than me at selling things, selecting products, and bargaining? Everyone excels in different areas. You're just not good at cooking."

"Really?" Su Xue questioned herself a little. She became more dependent on Gu Qingmeng. What would she do without her?

"Really, more real than pearls."

After washing up, the two returned to the room and changed their clothes. They missed life with electricity so much. In Peijiagou, not to mention electricity, there were not even complete kerosene lamps. After washing their hair, they had to rely on the wind to dry it.

"What a waste of a pot of dumpling soup." Su Xue said with heartache.

At this time, every grain of rice seemed extremely precious, and Su Xue felt full of guilt for wasting a pot of dumpling soup.

"We have chickens and ducks at home, so it's not a waste." Because the pot was flipped up, the dumpling soup in the pot was all ash and could not be eaten.

Gu Qingmeng, who had just walked into the kitchen and wanted to cook again, was stunned where she stood.

"Sister, we've packed up. I'm going to work first. Let Guoliang help you with the work at home. The dumpling soup in the bowl is clean. Remember to eat it, sister."

Gu Guodong wiped his mouth and before leaving, he did not forget to ask his younger brother to wash the dishes and feed the chickens and ducks. He repeatedly told him to work harder and he wanted to ask for leave from the team leader.

"Sister, you eat first. I'll go pick some vegetables and feed the chickens."

Gu Qingmeng looked at the backs of the two brothers, her heart in turmoil. She turned her gaze to the two bowls of dumpling soup on the table. The bright red tomatoes, the evenly distributed snow-white dumplings, and the golden egg drops were enough to whet one's appetite.
