Chapter 360 I am happy to see my wife spend money
Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. In the afternoon, Gu Huai got off work early, a rare occasion, and brought back four pounds of beef.
"Dad." Gu Qiuyan jumped out of the main room and called for help with a smile.
Gu Huai responded.
"Where did the beef come from?" Yu Hui walked to the kitchen door and saw the beef in Gu Huai's hand.
Gu Huai raised the beef in his hand and said, "This is the Lantern Festival benefit given by the army. Oh, and tomorrow someone will be showing a movie on the basketball court in the military family compound."
Yu Hui walked forward and took the beef from Gu Huai. "It's all beef brisket. It's perfect for making a stew of beef brisket with radish for the festival tomorrow."
Gu Huai smiled and said, "Just arrange it."
"What are we having for dinner?" Gu Huai rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the kitchen with Yu Hui.
Yu Hui turned her head, glanced at him, and said, "We're having shredded pork noodles tonight. The noodles are already rolled out, and the vegetables are already washed. You don't need to help. Go talk to Qiuyan. It's rare for her to come home."
"Okay." Gu Huai turned and walked towards the living room.
Yu Hui looked at Gu Huai's back, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised up.
Gu Huai chatted with Gu Qiuyan about the army and then started eating.
Gu Qiuyan had to eat two bowls of the fragrant shredded pork noodles before she was satisfied. After eating, she took the initiative to collect the bowls and wash them.
Gu Dong held her back and said, "Sister Qiuyan, you finally come home, how can I let you wash the dishes? I'll do it."
"Let Gu Dong wash it." Gu Huai also said.
Gu Qiuyan had no choice but to give up. Gu Nan and Gu Xi helped to put the dishes in the kitchen. Gu Hongmei scooped hot water from the sink and Gu Dong started washing them directly.
After dinner and watching TV for a while, the family went to the bathhouse to take a bath. Yu Hui didn't want to go, but was dragged there by Gu Qiuyan.
The next day is the Lantern Festival, which is also the day for the big market.
The entire Gu family went to the market together.
As soon as I arrived at the market, I bought four candied haws for the five children.
Why four? Because Beibei is still too young to have a whole candied haws, so he can only chew on a hawthorn ball covered with sugar.
Ever since she ate candy in her hometown, Yu Hui has not been so strict with Beibei about not eating candy, but she still won't let her eat too much.
"Let's buy a fish?" said Gu Hongmei.
Yu Hui looked at the lively fish in the wooden basin next to her and said, "Buy a big carp weighing four or five pounds and make a flying dragon fish for lunch."
"Great." Gu Xixi clapped her hands happily, "I love eating flying dragon fish the most."
Feilong fish is sour, sweet, salty and spicy, especially suitable for children's taste.
"Give me a carp, this one." Gu Huai said, pointing at the fish in the basin.
"Kill them here, or take them home and kill them?"
"I'll take it home and kill it."
"Okay, I can tell you know how to kill fish, brother."
The middle-aged fish seller weighed the fish in a few seconds, and Yu Hui gave him the money and the ticket.
After buying the fish, they went to buy meat. There were a lot of people in front of the pork stall. Before Yu Hui could squeeze in, she was bumped by an older woman who was retreating. Her center of balance was unstable, and she took a few steps back and bumped into the arms of the person behind her.
"Sorry." She apologized subconsciously, and when she turned around, she found that the person behind her was Gu Huai.
The latter held her arm, helped her stand up, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
Yu Hui shook her head.
Gu Qiuyan held Gu Xixi's hand and said with a smile: "Mom, you bumped into my dad's arms. You two are a couple, don't be embarrassed~"
"Yes." Gu Xixi nodded. "Don't be embarrassed~"
Beibei: “Yo~”
Yu Hui inexplicably felt her face getting hot, and she glared at Gu Qiuyan in reproach.
Gu Huai lowered his eyes, looking at her slightly red cheeks and the way she glared at him with a slightly pouty mouth, and his heart inexplicably itched.
"Oh, sister, I'm sorry, I bumped into you. I wasn't paying attention." The elder sister who found out that she had bumped into someone quickly turned around and apologized.
"It's okay." Yu Hui waved her hand and said.
"What kind of meat do you want to buy?" Gu Huai asked softly.
Yu Hui: "If there are pig's feet, then I'll have one. If not, I'll buy two pounds of spare ribs and two pounds of lean meat."
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Huai squeezed in, and within a minute, he held out his hand to take the ticket and money.
Gu Huai was lucky, there was still one pig's trotter left, so he took the whole thing directly, attracting the attention of people around him.
After all, when people buy pig's trotters, they basically buy half of it, and few people buy a whole one.
After buying pig's trotters and lean meat, I went to buy some tomatoes, bean sprouts, and tofu.
The family returned home with a full load. On the way back, they met Qian Lan's family who were buying vegetables.
Qian Lan's face looked unhappy, and Yu Jianshe and Yu Lixin did not follow.
Yu Qiang, Bao Pandi, Yu Zhuang's family of three, and Qian Daxin and his wife were all traveling together.
"Hey, Xiao Gu, you bought so many vegetables?" Bao Pandi greeted Gu Huai enthusiastically as soon as he saw him.
Gu Huai curled his lips, "Isn't this a holiday?"
Bao Pandi curled her lips, "Even if it's a festival, you can't eat like this. Xiao Gu, if it wasn't for Auntie, your young wife doesn't know how to live."
Gu Qiuyan frowned. This old woman was nosy. Her mother-in-law never said that her mother didn't know how to live, so what right did she have to say anything?
Yu Qiang and Qian Lan looked at Gu Huai and Yu Hui with apology. Yu Qiang even tugged at his mother's sleeve and said, "Mom, what are you talking about?"
This is someone else's business, what does it have to do with her? Why is she saying anything here?
It's quite embarrassing.
Bao Pandi saw Yu Hui's expression change and said, "Xiao Yu, Auntie just says what she wants to say. Don't be upset."
Yu Hui: Haha.
"This life is all about thrift and diligence..."
"We don't need to be frugal at home." Gu Huai interrupted Bao Pandi with a smile, "My wife can earn her own money, and I have a good salary, so she can spend it however she wants. I'm happy to see her spend money, and if she doesn't, I'm not happy!"
"We know how to live our own lives. Thank you Aunt Bao for your concern, but it's really unnecessary."
Gu Huai spoke with a smile throughout and thanked Bao Pandi, but her face became increasingly darker.
Mao Xiaoying and Jiang Juan looked at Gu Huai with admiration. This kind of man is a real man!
"Old Yu, sister-in-law, we're leaving first." Gu Huai smiled and greeted Yu Qiang and Qian Lan, who looked embarrassed, and left with his whole family.
After Gu Huai and the others had gone far away, Bao Pandi said with a drooping mouth: "I was kind enough to remind Xiao Gu, and it was for his own good, but why doesn't this person know what's good for him!"
Qian Lan sneered, "Isn't it thanks you for your concern?"
"..." Bao Pand's throat was choked by these words.
"Mom, you're so annoying. How other people live their lives has nothing to do with you. Why do you have to say so much?" Yu Qiang had a dark face and looked unhappy.
He felt that his mother's words today had embarrassed him in front of Gu Huai, and he felt very uncomfortable.
Bao Pandi: "I..."
Jiang Juan rolled her eyes. "You still think you're in the village. Only the people in the village like to hear you say these things and then go home and beat and scold your wife."
When she was in the village, Bao Pandi liked to say that this daughter-in-law didn't know how to live and that that daughter-in-law was lazy. Many parents-in-law would go home and scold their wives after hearing her words, and men would go home and beat their wives after hearing her words.
Yu Zhuang also pursed his lips and said, "Mom, you're such a jerk. Deputy Commander Gu is a higher official than my brother and is my brother's superior. Why do you have to say such things about his wife in front of others and make him unhappy?"
Bao Pandi: “…”
