Chapter 313: Thanks to You
Yu Hui brainstormed for a while and thought: the hand on the waist might be because Gu Huai fell asleep and hugged Beibei, and thought his hand was too long.
Her feet that were clamped by Gu Huai might have been stretched out by herself when she fell asleep. After all, Gu Huai didn't grab her feet and clamp them, right?
If Gu Huai woke up and saw them in this state, it would be embarrassing.
Yu Hui held her breath and carefully pulled her foot back.
Then she carefully used her hand under the quilt to gently pinch Gu Huai's wrist, trying to move his hand away from her waist.
As soon as she moved a little, Gu Huai's hand moved, hugged her waist and pulled her forward.
Beibei seemed to be squeezed, and his little body moved, burying his little face in the softness of her arms.
Yu Hui didn't dare to move for the time being, for fear of waking up all the children, big and small.
She and Gu Huai were so close that it was really difficult for Beibei who was caught in the middle.
After a while, Yu Hui moved Gu Huai's big hand again, this time.
She breathed a sigh of relief and slowly turned over. As she turned over, the cold wind seeped into the quilt again, making her shrink her neck due to the cold.
Little Stove Beibei came closer again, holding her arms with her little hands. Yu Hui pulled the quilt up, hugged Beibei's warm and milky body, and closed her eyes.
Gu Huai opened his eyes at this time. Due to habit, he was always alert when sleeping. When Yu Hui pulled her foot, he woke up, but did not open his eyes.
When Yu Hui moved his hand, he hugged her while he was awake.
If possible, he really wanted to hold her tightly in his arms openly, instead of pretending to be asleep like this.
When the sun rose, the Gu family members got up one after another.
But no one went to call Gu Huai and Yu Hui. Zhao Changying said that they were tired after driving all day and asked them to sleep a little longer.
It was almost seven o'clock when Yu Hui woke up again. When she opened her eyes, she saw Gu Huai dressing Beibei.
"Good morning." She asked casually.
"Good morning." Gu Huai replied with a smile.
Beibei waved his little hands at his mother, showing his little teeth, and said, "Mommy, good morning, good morning..."
The weather was so cold that it took courage to get out of bed. I don’t know if it was Yu Hui’s illusion, but she felt that the countryside was even colder than the military compound.
Yu Hui sat up and wanted to put on her sweater, but she couldn't find it on the quilt. She remembered that she had taken off the sweater and covered herself with the quilt before going to bed.
This will increase the weight and thickness of the quilt, making it a little warmer.
"Hey, where's my sweater?"
Gu Huai: "I put it in your bed to warm it up."
Yu Hui was stunned for a moment, and when she felt under the quilt, she found the sweater and trousers.
Nowadays, you not only have to wear thermal underwear, but also tight pants, otherwise your legs will be cold.
After she put on her clothes, Gu Huai brought in some hot water. After she washed herself with the hot water, wiped her face and combed her hair, Yu Hui carried Beibei, whose face smelled fragrant, to the main room.
"Mother."
Gu Dong and the others also got up. With the help of Gu Bin, they washed, dressed, and played in the main room.
"Are you cold when you sleep at night?" The old lady sitting on the chair looked at Yu Hui and asked with a smile.
Yu Hui shook her head. "It's not cold. The quilt is thick and warm."
Tian Ying came in with a bowl of boiled eggs and said with a smile, "That's because you're coming back. How can the new quilt not be warm? It used eight kilograms of cotton."
Unlike them, the quilt he covered himself with was an old quilt from several years ago. It only used six kilograms of cotton, and the cotton was all dead. It felt hard when he covered himself with it, and he had to sleep in the quilt for a long time before he could warm up.
Yu Hui glanced at her third sister-in-law Tian Ying. She should be saying that her mother values her and Gu Huai, but it sounds a bit weird.
It felt a bit sarcastic, so she smiled and didn't respond.
Yu Hui put Beibei on the ground and went to look for Zuzu on her short legs.
Yu Hui went to the kitchen to help bring out two bowls of porridge.
In the morning, the Gu family had noodle porridge, a bowl of pickled garlic, pickled ginger, pickled radish, boiled an egg for each person, and a bowl of spicy pickled radish from their own jar.
Breakfast in the countryside is basically porridge with pickles or kimchi.
There is little labor in the family, few work points, and little food, so people are reluctant to put dough balls in porridge.
There were nineteen people in the family, sitting at two tables.
One table for adults and one table for children.
However, Beibei, a child who needs care, still sits at the same table with his parents.
Yu Hui peeled the egg and asked her to chew it slowly.
Tian Ying peeled the eggs and said, "It's good that the youngest couple are back. Now that you're back, we still have eggs to eat. We got these eggs this morning thanks to you."
Wang Mei nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes." She bit off half of the egg in one bite.
Zhao Changying rolled her eyes at Tian Ying. "It's as if I've never given you eggs to eat. I steam egg cakes once a week, and you haven't eaten them?"
The Gu family is not poorly off, and they don't take the eggs laid by their chickens to the supply and marketing cooperative to exchange for salt or soy sauce. The family members eat them all.
Almost every week, Zhao Changying would take out five or six eggs that she had saved, beat them, add rice soup, and steam a pot of them to provide nutrition for adults and children.
"Mom, that's not what I meant. You misunderstood me again." Tian Ying said with a smile.
Zhao Changying snorted coldly, "But you're right. You really benefited from the youngest couple. If it weren't for them, you wouldn't have been able to enjoy such delicious pork rib soup last night."
Those ribs were bought by the youngest couple.
Tian Ying: “…”
Yu Hui raised her eyebrows, picked up the bowl and took a sip of the porridge.
After breakfast, Yu Hui went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, but as soon as she entered the kitchen, she was chased out by Zheng Rong.
"You go look after the kids, I'll wash the dishes."
Yu Hui had no choice but to return to the main room.
The village was slaughtering a pig today, so the men in the family went out after breakfast. Gu Huai hadn't participated in this activity for many years, so he went along too.
After playing at home for a while, the children ran to watch the pig being slaughtered.
Gu Xixi and Beibei were not allowed to go with Zhao Changying because they were young and they were afraid that they would be scared when the pigs were slaughtered.
As soon as Gu Huai arrived, he attracted everyone's attention and they all came to talk to him.
I saw Gu Dong and Gu Nan also praising the child for being smart and blessed.
When the pig was being slaughtered, its screams broke through the sky and Yu Hui could hear it at home.
"Who's shouting?" Gu Xixi, who was squatting on the ground warming herself by the fire, looked up and asked.
Yu Hui: "It's the pigs squealing."
"The piggy is crying so miserably. The piggy is so pitiful." Gu Xixi said with pity.
Yu Hui nodded. It was indeed pitiful, but it also tasted delicious.
Zhao Changying teased her grandson, "Piggy is so pitiful, so do you still want to eat pork?"
Gu Xixi thought for a moment and nodded vigorously, "Eat, pork is delicious."
"Hahaha..." The adults all laughed.
Gu Xixi pouted, looked at her mother, then at her mother-in-law and aunt, not knowing what was so funny.
Around noon, Gu Huai and his family came back with some very fresh pork. This time, the pig was slaughtered and the meat was distributed. The Gu family received eight pounds of pork and a set of pig livers.
There were more children in the family during the Chinese New Year, and most of them didn’t like to eat fatty meat but preferred lean meat, so Gu Ping asked for butt meat which had more lean meat.
"Cut some lean meat and cook it with the liver to make a liver and lean meat soup." Gu Pingshan handed the liver in his hand to his wife.
Zhao Changying spoke with a smile and carried the pork liver into the kitchen. Gu Jiang also brought the pork into the kitchen.
When Yu Hui heard that they were going to make pork liver and lean meat soup, she hurried into the kitchen.
"Mom, let me make this pork liver and lean meat soup."
