Chapter 241 Fat
When Gu Ci found out that Song Dongzheng and Jiang Mingche were also at home, he went to greet them in person until he saw them off.
Anyway, he is narrow-minded and doesn't want any man to get close to his wife.
It was a big pot of braised food. It looked like a lot, but we had to give them a big bowl, and send a plate to Lao Chu and the others, and there shouldn’t be any less for Second Uncle as well.
In addition, Secretary Song also ordered four bowls, and I don’t know whose house they were taken to.
Therefore, only four large plates were left for them.
Chu Hong chewed the fragrant and chewy braised sausage and said to her family, "We'll have two plates tonight and two plates tomorrow. And tomorrow morning we'll have noodles. The braised sausage will be good as a topping."
Gu Ci immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll get up early tomorrow to knead the dough."
Chu Tong looked at the lazy and gluttonous Chu Hong and was glad that she had a son-in-law, otherwise she would definitely be disliked by her in-laws.
She could only say: "It's cold now, so knead the dough before going to bed, so it will be much easier to roll it out tomorrow morning."
Gu Ci would not refuse her kindness: "I will listen to you, elder sister."
Wu Xiu ate a piece of pig lung and said, "The weather is getting colder. Next time, we can buy two sets of pig offal. They can be stored for a few days."
Secretary Song ate the pig lungs with wine, and the more he ate, the more delicious it became. He was happy to hear this: "As long as you don't mind the trouble, I will buy two sets of pig offal next time."
He is really worried about buying meat because meat coupons are so hard to come by now.
Besides, he is not very courageous and he is a little afraid to go to the black market.
He always feels that there are too many people who know him, and he always feels that someone is watching him, looking for an opportunity to catch him red-handed.
What’s more important is that pork is too expensive on the black market.
The normal price is 80 or 90 cents per pound, but on the black market it is 1.45 yuan per pound.
As the branch secretary, the subsidy he receives from the city is only eight yuan a month, which is enough to buy only five or six kilograms of meat?
He would never be willing to do this even if he were beaten to death.
But a neatly packed set of pig offal weighed more than twenty pounds.
For example, the pig offal, tongue, liver and heart he bought this time had already been bought by others. The remaining ones were bought up, which was about 18 pounds. He spent 2.16 yuan, which was enough to eat for two whole days.
If I hadn’t given away so much, it would have been enough for my family to eat for three days.
Chu Dan couldn't help but say, "We're running out of lard and soybean oil at home. We'll have to go buy oil next time we go to the city."
Chu Hong said, "The day after tomorrow is the first day of the new year. After I go to the meeting, I will go to the black market."
Then he looked at Xiao Yu'er and smiled: "Can you bring some cookies and candies for Xiao Yu'er?"
Secretary Song looked at her worriedly: "Ask around first. If the investigation is strict, don't go."
Xiao Yu'er was also very sensible: "Second Aunt, I don't want any cookies or candies. The black market is too dangerous. Second Aunt, don't go."
The little girl was afraid that she would not believe it, so she said seriously: "I have grown up and I am taller. I am not a child anymore. I don't need to eat those."
Her family members also told her not to tell outsiders what they eat.
She was also very obedient. When others asked her about it, she said she ate sweet potato porridge and sweet potato rice, and her vegetables were common beans, eggplants, gourds, loofahs, and water spinach grown in the vegetable garden.
But she also knew that the food at home was definitely the best in the village. Her friends often said that they ate bitter corn tortillas or sweet potato porridge, and would wake up hungry at night.
But how come she can always sleep until dawn and only feel a little hungry when she wakes up?
Chu Hong really liked the little girl so much that she hugged her and praised her, "How come Xiao Yu'er is so sensible? So cute? I want to give birth to a daughter as obedient and pretty as you in the future. You, as the elder sister, must teach your younger sister well then."
When Gu Ci heard this, a blush appeared on his handsome face. He was very glad that he swallowed the food himself, otherwise he would have been afraid that he would have choked.
At this moment, his heart was stirring: Was her saying this a subtle reminder for him to take a step further?
After all, I'm not really with her yet. Even if she wants to have a daughter, she can't, right?
Wu Xiu's eyes immediately fell on Chu Hong's belly, and he was a little surprised: "You have good news, right?"
Chu Hong looked at her family members staring at her belly and smiled calmly: "Not yet, but sooner or later it will come."
After saying that, he looked at Gu Ci again: "We are not in a hurry, right?"
Although at the beginning, she agreed to marry Gu Ci purely because of his looks, and also because being independent and eccentric in the countryside was not a good thing, and they would have to get married sooner or later, and he was the best she could find.
Furthermore, it would allow him to avoid the Su family's surveillance, come to Lingxia Village with a legitimate reason, and take care of his family in secret.
But after being together for more than half a year, she really liked him more and more.
In order to integrate into the Song family, he worked very hard and diligently. Most importantly, he was nice to himself. He never complained about her spending money indiscriminately and only respected her.
How could you be sleeping in the same bed but dreaming different dreams after being with a man like this for such a long time?
It’s a pity that this man is a bit stubborn about some things. Even if it is unbearable, he dare not go beyond the line.
She wasn't encouraging him to do that, she just wanted to see him blush.
A little cute, a little well-behaved, a little want to know him...
Secretary Song had no idea of his second daughter's shameful and evil intentions. He just looked at his wife with a little worry.
Wu Xiu has been married to him for so many years, and just by looking at his eyes, she knows what he is worried about.
There was no news after Chu Hong married her ex-son-in-law. Now she has been with Xiao Gu for more than half a year, and there is still no news.
If there is only one man, then the non-conservative parents may still wonder if there is something wrong with the man.
But Chu Hong was married for the second time. Even if their ideas were trendy, they couldn't think that there was something wrong with the men Chu Hong found, right?
Moreover, both Xiao Zhong and Xiao Gu were city dwellers who ate rationed food. Besides, Xiao Gu's family must have had a good life in the past few years, so it was unlikely that they would have starved to death.
Then there is only one truth left: there might be something wrong with his daughter.
Wu Xiu picked up several pieces of braised food for Chu Hong with chopsticks: "Eat more. You seem to have lost a lot of weight recently."
Chu Hong was overjoyed when she heard this: "Really?"
She was worried that she had gained weight, and when she looked in the mirror, she always felt that her face had become rounder.
Unfortunately, trousers nowadays are very loose, so she can't tell whether she has gained weight by checking the tightness of the waistband.
But my mother would definitely not lie to me. She felt that she had too many things to worry about, which was why she lost weight.
This is good, I can eat one more bowl of rice from now on.
Chu Dan was a little unhappy: "Mom, you are biased. How has my second sister lost weight?"
Wu Xiu glanced at her calmly and said, "You've been too lazy lately. You sleep as soon as you eat and gain weight."
Chu Dan doesn't mind being called fat. It's rare to see chubby girls nowadays. Being fat is beautiful and it's a blessing. She is not angry but happy: "I think I can be a little fatter, so I will look better."
