Chapter 195 Lotus
The thirty yuan was for real good stuff, but the tickets were a bit perfunctory. Apart from the top ticket for a pound of biscuits, there were only ten tickets for matches, five tickets for candles, and six tickets for toilet paper.
In another large package, which looked large in size, there were only four worn-out cotton-padded jackets and a pack of damp biscuits that were still full of crumbs.
When Gu Ci saw this, his face immediately darkened: "Her brother works in a biscuit factory, and he sent these to us. We don't want their junk anymore."
But he knew that Liu Jialing's two children never wore torn clothes.
It's almost summer and people have to wear short sleeves, but she sent her children's worn-out cotton-padded jackets to her. It's really too much.
It’s better not to send it?
Look at those tickets again, they look expensive, but they are actually very cheap.
This is simply like sending away beggars.
Chu Hong thought to herself: He is still young and full of energy.
His stepmother sent these deliberately to make them lose their temper. Whether they are quarreling with Gu Haihua or having a cold war with him, the one who benefits is his stepmother, right?
Chu Hong smiled and said, "I think this is very practical. Chu Yan Shaocheng and the others can't wear new cotton-padded clothes. These will be washed and they can wear them in the second half of the year."
"Write a thank you letter to your dad later, saying that we were showing a movie here, and you shared the cookies that Ms. Liu sent with everyone."
"Although they are a little broken and damp, the old men and women have bad teeth, so if you soak the damp broken biscuits in boiling water, they will be very fragrant."
Women are born with the ability to judge appearance. When Chu Hong saw these things, she knew what Gu Ci's stepmother meant, which was to annoy them.
This made Chu Hong unhappy too.
If you don't want to send it, you don't have to. But if you insist on sending these damp broken cookies, don't blame her for turning on lotus mode.
From the Chu family and Gu Ci, Chu Hong already knew that Gu Haihua was a person who cared only about face.
This is really great. When he sees this thank-you letter, he will definitely feel ashamed that he has given it to the peasant he looks down upon.
Then the next time you send something, it must be good stuff, to avenge the previous shame.
And Ms. Liu might even be scolded.
After calming down, Gu Ci understood what she meant, and felt that if he really didn't want it, then that would be what Liu Jialing wanted.
He smiled a little embarrassedly: "You are right, I didn't think it through enough."
He felt a little annoyed. He knew that Chu Hong felt that he was a little young, so he wanted to be a mature, stable and capable man.
It's a pity that now she has seen my impatient side. All my efforts have been wasted. I regret it so much.
Seeing his frustrated look, Chu Hong smiled and said, "Now you know how cunning women are, right?"
And she comforted him: "You will suffer a loss now, but you will learn your lesson in the future."
Gu Ci also nodded: "Thank goodness you were here, I didn't fall for her trick."
Then he asked her, "Is Dad back?"
Half a month has passed since they brought back the chicks and ducklings. Except for a few that were lost on the way, the rest were intact.
But two ducklings were missing yesterday, and no one saw the ducks alive or dead, so everyone suspected that they were taken away by a weasel.
Therefore, this morning, Secretary Song went to another village to exchange for a puppy, but he didn't know whether he could get one.
Chu Hong stood up and packed up the things he brought back: "He hasn't come back yet. He's at the farm now. Xiao Hei is watching him."
The little black cat often hangs out outside and often doesn't go home for several days. This time, it was Chu Hong who bribed Little Black with delicious food, and only then did Little Black agree to stay in the farm.
"I feel relieved that Xiao Hei is here." Gu Ci asked her, "Do you want to go to the farm together?"
Chu Hong used to like going to the farm because the chickens and ducks were small and furry and looked very cute.
But now the ducks have grown a lot bigger and are still very straightforward, so Chu Hong doesn't want to go anymore, feeling like she has no place to start.
She immediately shook her head: "I have to cook lunch, so I won't go over there."
Then he asked him, "Do you think Lao Jin and the others can really get used to it?"
Now chicken manure and duck manure are both very good fertilizers. They have to be cleaned up every morning and evening, and all carried to the west end of the hill and piled up.
Anyway, Chu Hong is now very glad that she is the director of the Women's Department and has a job, so she doesn't have to work there.
This job is really a bit shabby.
Gu Ci smiled instead: "They really think it's pretty good. It's cleaned up very well over there now. There's not much smell, it's not dirty, and it's not tiring."
“The most important thing is that no one is giving them any trouble now.”
He finally understood that Chu Hong was really fond of cleanliness. Even the chickens, ducks and geese at home were driven out by Xiao Yuer in the morning and locked up at night.
If there was chicken or duck manure in the yard, she would immediately cover it with straw ash and then clean it up.
This may be the good habit of cleanliness that the mother-in-law cultivated in them.
After Gu Ci left, Chu Hong first soaked some soybeans, then took a handful of straw and put it in the yard, then put the pig's trotters on it.
It is said that this can better remove odors.
Thinking of pig's trotter and soybean soup, which is also the favorite of pregnant women, I remembered that the He family was about to give birth, and my second aunt should be due soon too.
Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.
Wu Qiaofang came in with a basket and saw her packing pig's trotters. Her eyes lit up and she said, "You guys are really willing to eat them. It's not a festival, but you're willing to buy pig's trotters."
Without waiting for Chu Hong to speak, she continued to talk to herself: "Pig trotters are all bones, why not buy some meat?"
Chu Hong smiled and said, "You need meat coupons to buy meat. We don't have any meat coupons at home, so we can only buy pig's trotters to satisfy our craving."
She saw some mullets and striped fish in Second Aunt's basket. They were a little longer than a finger. Although they were small, they tasted delicious. She couldn't be stingy. "When they're cooked, I'll send you a bowl."
Wu Qiaofang was waiting for this sentence and smiled immediately: "You still love your little nephew."
Then he put the basket next to her and said generously, "This is what your second uncle got from the cage. It must be more than a pound. You can fix it up and eat it for lunch."
"If you're going to save it for dinner, put some salt on it. Otherwise, it's too hot today and it might not be fresh by dinner time."
He looked around again and asked, "Xiao Yu'er is not home again?"
Nowadays, the aunties and grandmas in the village will look at the belly and the body shape to guess whether it is a son or a daughter.
Chu Hong had heard people say many times that her second aunt looked like she was pregnant with a daughter.
But Second Aunt herself always thought he was a son.
It is said that children are very smart and can speak very accurately. She often catches the children asking her whether she is carrying a boy or a girl in her belly.
So when Chu Hong heard her asking Xiao Yu'er, she immediately said, "He went out to pick wild vegetables. He hasn't come back yet?"
Wu Qiaofang could only say, "Then I'll go back first. You can bring us some pig's trotter soup later, and bring the basket back to me."
Chu Hong responded happily, feeling that Xiao Yuer had escaped.
