Chapter 48 Oh, how bitter!
After Gu's Kitchen was closed for half a month, the domineering fragrance is back online, even earlier than usual today.
In the past, the smell of meat was only faintly perceptible during dinner time, but now, early in the morning, the aroma of rich oil and red sauce wafts out from the Gu family's house and seeps into every household.
Ding Tiesheng and Yu Ting were eating big white steamed buns with millet porridge and pickles, all of which were fine grains. Logically, the food should have tasted good, but it was not the same with the pervasive aroma of meat.
"Why are you showing off so early in the morning? Only his family can afford meat?!"
Yu Ting angrily took a bite of the steamed bun and almost choked, then hurriedly drank a mouthful of porridge.
Ding Tiesheng also had a hard time eating, mainly because he had just eaten casually last night and now his appetite was aroused.
But he was not going to respond, as he still had to go to work. If Yu Ting got excited, she would not stop until she had finished talking.
Without the supporting role, there is no point in scolding people.
Yu Ting pushed Ding Tiesheng with such force that all the pickles in his chopsticks fell.
"Say something! Lu Youyou isn't working, is Gu Qingye's salary enough for her to do this all day long?"
Ding Tiesheng held back his anger and didn't want to pay attention to her, but how could Yu Ting let him go?
"I'm asking you a question! Are you mute?"
"What do you want me to say? You know how much the battalion commander gets. If he likes to eat meat, then he can eat it. It's not like he can't afford it."
Ding Tiesheng regretted it the moment he finished speaking. How could he go against Yu Ting!
really.
"Well, they can afford meat, and they can use the extra to feed the birds, but you just give me pickled vegetable buns?!"
Ding Tiesheng wanted to slap himself and take back what he had just said. Why couldn't he hold back? Why was he so mean!
He was unhappy with Gu Qingye, but he was not interested in arguing about whether others ate meat or not early in the morning.
The joint exercise was about to begin, and he wanted to compete with the Third Battalion for the position of vanguard, so he had no time to bother with Yu Ting.
"If you want to eat meat, just go buy it. You can eat it three times a day. It's not like I'm not asking you to spend money."
Ding Tiesheng wiped his mouth and was about to leave. The Third Battalion had one day off after returning from a mission, so he had to seize the time to train the boys from the Second Battalion. Even if it was a last-minute effort, it was better than nothing.
Yu Ting didn't pay attention for a moment, and when she stood up to pull him away, Ding Tiesheng had already jogged out the door, and she couldn't even find her heels.
She was so angry that she threw the bowl on the table and didn't want to care about the porridge spilling.
Why can people with questionable backgrounds live such a comfortable life? Even if they have passed the political review, shouldn’t they keep a low profile and behave themselves?
Now everyone in the compound says that the Gu family lives a good life, so why is Lu Youyou so arrogant?
The more Yu Ting thought about it, the angrier she became. It was like a huge rock was blocking her chest, and she couldn't eat the tasteless breakfast anymore.
Everyone in the compound was guessing what delicious food the Gu family had made. It was so tempting.
Comrade Xiaolu is really caring. They eat in the cafeteria every day when the man is not around, and the aroma of meat fills the air as soon as Gu Qingye comes back.
Most people don't realize that they are complaining about the wrong person.
The first credit goes to Xiao Huihui, and the chef is Gu Qingye himself. As for Lu Youyou, she was fanning herself and watching the show with ease.
By the way, I also work part-time as a food taster.
Gu Qingye just scooped a spoonful for her to taste, but she thought it was not spicy enough, so he added a handful of chilies to the pot.
If there is anything in the world that is more overbearing than the taste of meat, it must be Chinese medicine, especially the medicine brewed by Aunt Luo herself.
Lu Youyou stood at the kitchen door. The food was spicy inside and bitter outside. It felt as if her nose was split in the middle and her brain was dizzy from the smoke.
Gu Qingye turned his head and saw Lu Youyou frowning, so he persuaded her to go inside.
Lu Youyou shook his head and sighed: "It can't be stopped."
She tried everything these days, except plugging her nose, and even closing the doors and windows was useless.
There were no sealants in that era, so the smell of medicine always seeped in through the gaps.
She had even gotten used to the smell after so long that it would feel like something was missing if it wasn't there one day.
Lu Youyou couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you say Luo Hongqi is quite capable? Why is he so slow about family matters?"
"He is a political instructor. His main tasks are political education and organizational work. He has done a good job in this regard. As for how he is at home, this is not assessed at work."
Gu Qingye has no likes or dislikes towards Luo Hongqi personally. As long as he can handle the job well, he will consider this colleague qualified.
As for life problems, the army will not intervene if it does not affect work, and he, as a colleague, will not interfere.
Of course Lu Youyou understood, but she couldn't help but feel sorry.
Zhao Wan had been unaware of the warmth her husband had been giving her for several years, but she never expected that there was a throne to be inherited in her family, and she didn't know how to resist. Her life was miserable!
I looked at the little gray bird combing its feathers standing on the wall. Only mama's boy birds are cute, while mama's boy boys are just hateful.
"I just feel sorry for Sister Zhao. She can't even taste the food she eats. You can't drink elixir like this..."
Gu Qingye stopped what he was doing and looked at Lu Youyou seriously.
"Don't worry, there won't be such a thing in our family. It's up to you whether to have children or not, and no elders will interfere with you."
He would never let Mr. and Mrs. Gu disturb Lu Youyou's life.
Lu Youyou's mind was frozen for a moment, and she came back to her senses after a few seconds.
Have a baby?
How did it progress to having a baby?!
"I'm not worried... No, I don't have children... No... uh..."
Lu Youyou was incoherent, her eyes were wide open, her face was getting hotter and hotter, and she subconsciously fanned herself faster and faster.
Gu Qingye smiled: "Well, don't worry."
No, I can't stay here any longer. I have to run away, anywhere is fine.
She never expected that she was not driven away by the Chinese medicine, but fled because of Gu Qingye's words.
How can she continue to be cool and handsome in the future, and what about her glorious image?
When Little Huihui saw his mother running away, he wanted to follow her, but he was a little too slow and was locked outside the door with a slam. If it hadn't been for his excellent emergency stop technique, his mouth would have been stuck in the wooden door.
It turned its head angrily and glared at Gu Qingye.
Mom can't be wrong, he must be the one who is wrong!
"Coo-coo-coo, chi-chi-chi-coo, @%…*%-…@!"
Gu Qingye still didn't understand, but he intuitively knew that the curse was very dirty.
He looked up and saw that the door of the room not far away was closed and the curtains were drawn. He could not see anything, but it did not affect his mood at all.
The meat sauce in the pot was still bubbling, and Gu Qingye stirred it with the spatula from time to time, as meticulously as if he was holding some precision instrument.
His boss told him that marriage was no joke and asked him to consider it seriously so as not to regret it in the future.
He never thought that he would regret it, but now he knows that not regretting is nothing. He was willing, and every day he is more grateful for his decisiveness.
He once thought that marriage was a responsibility, but now it is more than just a responsibility.
Life is long, he will fulfill his promise, and he also hopes that one day he can hear Lu Youyou say in person that she is glad for her original decision and does not regret it.
