It was at this time that Old Mrs. Tian realized that if you don’t treat yourself well when you are young, when you are old and have the intention to do so, your physical condition will not be able to keep up.
When she was young, she didn't have such conditions, and being able to have enough food to eat was already a good life.
But now Lin Meiyu is different from her. Lin Meiyu's conditions are much better than his time, and the children are not short of money. It is normal for them to want to spend money to let their parents enjoy themselves.
If she were to tell Lin Meiyu, she should not say anything and should not care about anything at this time. If the children gave her the money, she should take it. If the children did not give her the money, she should not ask for it again.
Enjoy yourself more while you can still enjoy yourself. Eat what you should eat and wear what you should wear. Don't wait until you are as old as her and then remember to live a better life.
"Just listen to mom. Since she says every day that she wants to build a new house for us, then we should agree to it. It's not easy for our daughter to come back home. We don't know when she will come back again after she starts working. Don't quarrel with her. Just let her be happy!" Tian Lisong said.
Lin Meiyu then said nothing.
They had lunch in the afternoon. It gets dark early in winter, so they only had two meals a day. Lin Meiyu and her family didn't cook at night, and they went to bed as soon as it got dark.
After dinner, Tian Tian and the others went to sleep in the house and never woke up, sleeping until the next morning.
Even Lin Meiyu had woken up, but the other two hadn't.
"That's why they say people of the same family resemble each other. I never noticed that Gu Zhao could sleep so well before. He's the same as Tiantian!" Lin Meiyu said as she picked up eggs from the chicken coop.
As soon as she finished speaking, the door of Tian Yuan's room was pushed open. Gu Zhao, wrapped in a large cotton-padded jacket, poked his head out and smiled at Lin Meiyu: "Auntie, I slept too much and got up late this morning!"
Lin Meiyu immediately smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay. There's not much work to do at home. Tiantian always sleeps until the sun gets on her butt."
Although Lin Meiyu had fiddled with it a few times just now, she was really not dissatisfied with Gu Zhao's sleeping habits. She just felt that the two of them had exactly the same habits. They would go to sleep after getting off the car, and then they would have to sleep until the next morning.
"I've slept for a long time. I can't fall asleep if I lie down again. Auntie, what are you going to do? Let me help you!" Gu Zhao said, rolling up his sleeves.
It was the first time for him to fall asleep after getting off the bus, and he slept so soundly. In the past, after taking a long-distance bus, he would have a terrible headache and couldn't fall asleep at all. But this big kang in the Northeast was so comfortable. It was warm when he lay down on it, and he fell asleep until now without realizing it. Gu Zhao was still a little embarrassed.
"You're really not needed. Your uncle and I have done all the work ourselves. Go get some water and wash your face. There's hot water in the pot that has been boiled in advance." Lin Meiyu said.
Gu Zhao rubbed his face and went into the house to get some water to wash his face.
After washing his face, he forcibly snatched the pork and kitchen knife from Lin Meiyu's hands, "Auntie, you didn't eat enough last night, so you can try my cooking today."
"How can I do that? I can't let you cook. Go into the house and have a rest, chat with your grandma, or go wake up Tiantian. The child has not woken up yet!" Gu Zhao was still a guest to Lin Meiyu. Lin Meiyu was embarrassed to let a guest cook and wanted to grab the meat and the kitchen knife from Gu Zhao.
"Auntie, don't snatch this kitchen knife from me, it's very dangerous. Go inside and take a rest. You don't have to worry about me ruining the meat. I cook meat all the time at home, and my best dishes are braised pork and pork with sauce. And I have used this big pot before. Just tell me where all the seasonings in the house are, and then just wait for dinner." Gu Zhao was a man after all, with strong hands and tall stature, and he easily dodged Lin Meiyu's hand.
Seeing him like this, Lin Meiyu had no choice but to stop competing with him for the piece of pork. She turned around and got another piece of sauerkraut and started washing it in the basin.
That piece of pork belly was specially left over when her team slaughtered pigs, just to entertain Gu Zhao. Originally, she hadn't thought of making braised pork, nor did she know how to make it. She had thought of using the meat to make sauerkraut stewed with pork belly and vermicelli. Now, Gu Zhao actually said he wanted to make braised pork, so she couldn't say she wanted to make anything else.
But sauerkraut still needs to be made, so Lin Meiyu plans to stir-fry it with potatoes, which also tastes good.
It’s a pity that there was only one kitchen knife in the house, and Gu Zhao could only use it to cut meat, and he couldn’t do anything else.
After Lin Meiyu washed all the vegetables, she had nothing to do in the kitchen so she could only sit in front of the stove and watch the fire.
Tian Lisong went out to the commune to do some work early in the morning. Old Lady Tian also stayed in the east room and did not come out. After Tian Zhuo washed his face, he went to find Tian Mu. Only Lin Meiyu and Gu Zhao were left in the room. Gu Zhao was busy cooking.
After Lin Meiyu chatted with Gu for a few sentences, there was nothing else to talk about, so she could only sit there and watch the fire.
Just when Lin Meiyu couldn't sit still anymore and was about to find Tian Tian and force Tian Tian to wake her up from the bed, the door of the house opened and Tian Tian came in to get some water to wash her face, pulling Lin Meiyu out of the embarrassing situation.
"Why did you come out just now? What time is it? Are you still sleeping? The sun is already shining on your butt, why don't you get up early and help us with some work?"
Tian Tian looked at Lin Meiyu in confusion. It was winter now, breakfast was late, and the sun didn't rise as early as in summer. What was she doing getting up so early?
And she didn't get up late this morning. It was only seven o'clock. In winter, they usually don't eat until almost nine o'clock in the morning. This hour is enough for them to cook.
But when she saw Gu Zhao waving the rice grabber in front of the pot, Tian Tian knew what was going on. "I'm just washing my face to help you guys. You don't have to move. Gu Zhao and I will take care of this morning's meal!"
After Tian Tian finished speaking, she scooped some water into the basin. Just as she was about to wash her face on the small stool beside her, she was pulled out by Lin Meiyu.
"What were you talking about just now? What do you mean you paid for this morning's breakfast? It's the first time he comes to our house, and you want to date him? Even if we don't ask for dragon meat and bear paws, you can't ask him to cook for us? How can you treat guests like this? If it gets out, people will think we don't like Gu Zhao. Will your father-in-law and mother-in-law be happy when they hear it?" Lin Meiyu wanted to beat Tian Tian twice.
"After you wash your face, go in and tell Gu Zhao whether to take him out to play or do something else. I don't care, but you must not let him cook this morning."
Lin Meiyu was right. After Tian Tian finished washing up, she wanted to take Gu Zhao out for a walk.
Gu Zhao looked at the pork that had been cut and fried in the pan with some embarrassment. The dish was halfway done and he couldn't give up. However, he didn't want to refuse Tian Tian's request, so he was caught in a dilemma.
"Okay, you two, get out of here quickly. I'll cook the meat!" Lin Meiyu said and drove them all away.
