Pei Xiuzhen was somewhat resentful towards her brother. He had concealed from her the serious fact that her mother was ill! If someone from the village had not gone to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy something and told her about it, she would not have known that her mother had gone to the city for medical treatment.
She hurriedly asked for leave to go to the city to take care of the family for a few days, and just came back with them today. She went back to Peijiagou just to fight. Second Aunt almost made her mother angry to death, and this matter is not over yet!
This is the most similar thing about the brother and sister's temperament. If the elders don't act like elders, don't blame the younger ones for not acting like younger ones.
Pei Xinghe sat in the front of the ox cart, touching his nose. He and Pei Heixiong sat on each side. He shouldn't have said too much. His sister was very angry, so why should he say anything?
"Four Donkeys, just go back and let your sister make a scene, and you don't have to go."
Pei Heixiong called Pei Xinghe by his nickname. When the three words "Four Donkeys" came out, the ox cart was obviously still for a moment.
Su Xue didn't mock him for Pei Weidong's sake. Gu Qingmeng suppressed her laughter. Who came up with the name "Four Donkeys"? It was quite fitting. It was obvious that when Pei Xinghe acted like a donkey, no one could stop him.
"Grandpa, you've called out all four donkeys, let's see who can stop me."
Pei Xinghe said this with gritted teeth. He was so embarrassed. What an angry day!
The ox cart was full in a short while. Pei Heixiong hit the ox's butt twice with a small whip, and the old ox started moving immediately.
Pei Xiuzhen was talking to Gu Qingmeng and the others along the way. She was very grateful to the little girl who saved her mother. She was a bold and cheerful girl, and Gu Qingmeng was very kind to normal people. The three of them soon started chatting together.
We were still reluctant to leave when we said goodbye at Peijiagou.
"Pei Xinghe is a good sister. She has the personality I like."
Su Xue likes bold and aggressive people, which may have something to do with her.
Gu Qingmeng: Haha!
Don’t think she didn’t hear the two crickets chirping and playing tricks on people on the ox cart?
"Send the meat and shanks to Guan Beibei! It's perfect time to make soup."
Gu Qingmeng took the meat out of the basket and looked up to see a sneaky figure at the gate: "Send the package over as well! It's just right that your helper is here!"
The scent of love was unbearable to look at, so she continued to pack her backpack, which contained two kilograms of mooncakes sent by Pei Xiuzhen. When she opened them, she found that she had no appetite.
The mooncakes at this time looked dry and were the old-fashioned mooncakes. They had the words "Five Kernels" on them. When they were broken open, there were green and red threads inside. Gu Qingmeng didn't like green and red threads, so she put the two kilograms of mooncakes in her younger brothers' rooms.
The things my cousin and his family sent were some dried fruits and snacks, along with two letters. When I opened them, I saw that in addition to the letters, there were also fifty yuan in the envelope. No wonder the envelope felt thicker.
When Gu Qingmeng learned that her two cousins were coming to spend the New Year with her, she was overjoyed. The New Year was a lively time with many people around. She put away the pocket money given by her two cousins and decided to stock up on winter vegetables. She definitely couldn't take out the vegetables in the space during the winter, but she didn't want to eat cabbage and radishes every day in the winter, so she had to stock up on vegetables.
Chinese cabbage can be said to be one of her least favorite vegetables.
Take out four sweet and sour pork ribs, a plate of steamed egg with minced meat, and a bowl of kelp soup, and you're done. In the evening, there are two dishes and one soup. There are also pickled kimchi at home, and the staple food is two servings of rice.
She took out two pounds of sugar and a lemon and started to boil the syrup for the mooncakes. She remembered that there seemed to be a baking bag in the space, so she would take it out and use it later.
I'll take advantage of today's rest to prepare more food. My two younger brothers are growing up and are often hungry, so I'll bake some bread for them as snacks.
The job of kneading the dough was left to the dough kneading machine in the space. She prepared the fillings for the mooncakes outside. Five-nut fillings were indispensable. Su Xue liked lotus seed paste and egg yolk, but the lotus seed paste could only be replaced with rice beans.
Black sesame seeds and red beans can also be prepared, and glutinous rice flour will be used to mix the fillings. Prepare everything and put it on the kang in the side room. You can start baking by kneading the dough early tomorrow morning.
The task of collecting two baskets of pig grass was given to her younger brothers. She believed that her younger brothers would be happy to collect the pig grass!
In the past half month, my two younger brothers have grown taller visibly. I don’t know if the clothes my stepmother Tian Liping made for them can still be worn. I hope they will be too small when they are mailed to me.
Forget it, she should bring back some cotton next time she goes out! She can ask the aunties in the village to help make them a set of cotton clothes and two quilts.
Another day of worry.
After a while, Su Xue came back with Pei Weidong, followed by Jin Yuanyuan.
"Gu Qingmeng, are we good friends?"
Jin Yuanyuan spoke in a questioning tone.
Just blurt out this sentence without any reason!
This made Gu Qingmeng very confused, and they were not really good friends.
"Yeah? What happened? Tell me if you have something to say."
Gu Qingmeng looked at Su Xue and asked what was going on.
From her speechless expression, Gu Qingmeng came to the conclusion that Jin Yuanyuan had gone crazy again.
"Really? What do you mean by "really? Aren't we good friends? Why did you bring meat to Guan Beibei but not to me? I'm so sad!"
Jin Yuanyuan felt isolated and she was so sad!
Gu Qingmeng: I’m afraid you are sick and haven’t taken your medicine.
"Do you want to listen to what you're saying? Didn't you hear Guan Beibei ask me to bring some meat yesterday? You have cow hair stuck in your ears, what are you yelling about today?"
Gu Qingmeng didn't care whether she was sad or not. She was upset anyway.
"Ah! Really? Didn't you take the initiative to bring it to her alone?"
"Well...then I want to eat meat too. Give me half a pound of meat and I'll give you money."
Jin Yuanyuan recalled that it seemed that it was Guan Beibei who took the initiative to ask her to bring the meat.
Gu Qingmeng speechlessly went to the kitchen and cut half a pound of meat and handed it to Jin Yuanyuan, telling her to leave quickly, as she was afraid she would have a heart attack if she looked at her any longer.
