Chapter 35 This is too greedy
Not to mention him, even the taciturn Lin Liansheng breathed a sigh of relief.
The Gu and Lin families have been eating and drinking together for so many years that they have long since made no distinction between you and me. So if the Gu family's kitchen burned down, for Lin Liansheng, it would be no different from burning down his own kitchen.
They breathed a sigh of relief, and Wen Tang was finally at ease!
Gu Jinfeng chased Zhong Meixian into the kitchen. As soon as she entered the kitchen, she asked, "Mom, you haven't finished what you just said, have you?"
Zhong Meixian didn't say anything.
Gu Jinfeng chased after him and asked, "Why don't you say anything?"
Zhong Meixian was so angry that she wanted to hit her with the ladle in her hand, "Speak, speak, what are you talking about?"
"You want me to be left alone when I'm old, right?"
While talking, Zhong Meixian looked towards the kitchen door. Seeing no one coming, she couldn't help but say, "After lunch, you all went to the fields, and she told me that she and Xiaoyue were going to dig wild vegetables."
"I said no, and dug some radishes for her to eat. She told me that pickled radishes take longer to eat and that stir-frying radishes wastes a lot of oil."
"I thought she was a really good kid, but in the end..."
Zhong Meixian held a ladle in her hand and gestured with a look of pain on her face, "That basket is filled with candies, melon seeds, and even biscuits. It's a full basket!"
"Tell me, are you really greedy?" Zhong Meixian said excitedly, almost fainting from anger.
Fortunately, Gu Jinfeng cooperated with her, "Buying so many things?"
"Is this too greedy?"
"So you didn't tell her?"
Zhong Meixian "..."
"Dare I say her?"
"She brought it back and said she bought it for me to eat."
"Then eat it. If you don't want to eat it, just put it in your room. It's better than letting her eat it!" said Gu Jinfeng.
Zhong Meixian rolled her eyes and recounted what happened at that time.
Gu Jinfeng: "..."
"Mom, don't tell me, these two new brides are really thick-skinned."
"It's not just thick, it's thicker than a city wall."
No matter what you say, you still have to cook.
Gu Jinfeng left a little of the pheasant soup from lunch, added water in the evening, put in noodles and green onions, and it became dinner.
Lin Jingshen tasted it in one bite and said, "Mom, the soup is very fragrant today. It's not made with water, right?"
"No, your uncle caught a pheasant this morning."
"I thought so, it smells so good, it tastes better than plain noodles," Lin Jingshen ate happily and said happily, but he never thought about why the pheasant from lunch was not saved for him to eat when he came back in the evening.
He didn't mention it, and everyone looked at him and said nothing, eating in silence.
After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms.
Lying on the bed, Wen Tang felt guilty and asked Gu Yanli, "We spent so much money on food today. Do you feel bad?"
Gu Yanli shook his head while taking off his clothes.
Wen Tang smiled and said, "Brother, you are so nice."
"Well, I have a better one," and after saying that, Gu Yanli turned over and pressed the man under him.
"Well, can't I take a night off?"
Although the meat tasted good, Wen Tang found that she didn't like it that much after eating it several times a day.
"Well, you need to exercise moderation," Wen Tang told Gu Yanli.
Gu Yanli grabbed her hand and said, "Well, I still have five days off."
"So, you should exercise moderation after these five days!"
"How about you follow me to join the army?"
Now I have the chance to say something that I haven't found the opportunity to say.
"How many people can you bring with you?" This was Wen Tang's first reaction.
"Um?"
"As long as they are family, it doesn't matter how many people there are," Gu Yanli replied.
"Can you bring Yueyue along?" Wen Tang felt that she could not forget her best friend wherever she went. After all, she and Chi Yue had a friendship that was as deep as the mountains and the earth.
Gu Yanli asked in the dark, "Have you considered Jing Shen's feelings when you said this?"
"Oh, yes, we also have to consider his feelings. Can we take him with us?"
"He is not a child anymore, and I don't want to raise such a big nephew," Gu Yanli told Wen Tang.
Then Wen Tang told him, "Can I not go?"
Wen Tang thought, now that this man is gone, won't she be able to sleep with Chi Yue openly?
She hasn't slept with Chi Yue for several days.
"Then wait until these five days have passed before exercising moderation."
Maybe it was because Wen Tang didn't want to join the army, but Gu Yanli resumed his frequency of three times a day.
Just tell me, which good person can withstand such bullying?
So, Wen Tang still couldn’t get up the next morning!
On the morning when she couldn't get up, Gu Yanli took a lot of things out, and before leaving, he didn't forget to tell Zhong Meixian to "return the things to the people."
Zhong Meixian was not happy with him. "I know, I know. I am very greedy and I prefer to eat those things."
Gu Yanli just reminded her and didn't argue with her. He took his things and went out.
He first set up several traps in the woods, and then went to a lake some distance away from Team Xiangxing. There were many reeds by the lake. He sat down in the reeds. No one would notice him unless they got closer, so he sat there and started fishing.
After breakfast, Zhong Meixian didn't want to stay home and get angry at her daughter-in-law who hadn't gotten up, so she picked up her things and went out.
She went straight to the educated youth point.
When I got there, Luo Tian and Luo Qiao hadn't left the house yet!
Luo Qiao was struggling over what clothes and shoes to wear.
Luo Tian helped her choose dirt-resistant shoes and found her a pair of cloth shoes. "Wear the cloth shoes. It won't be a pity if they get dirty."
Luo Qiao changed into the clothes and shoes she had prepared but became conflicted. Her skin was not as fair as Luo Tian's, and her skin was a little yellowish. Even though her facial features were not ugly, she needed to match her clothes well, otherwise she would look very rustic.
So once Luo Qiao put on cloth shoes and dark-colored clothes, he didn't want to go out.
She looked in the mirror and was so ugly.
She even looked down at herself and wondered what she was wearing. She looked like a country girl!
She really found it hard to accept.
So she hesitated, "Will it be too ugly?"
"Will others laugh at me?" she worried.
Luo Tian immediately shook her head, "No, everyone here is dressed similarly. You're considered good. Most people wear patched clothes when they go out to work."
"They are reluctant to wear new clothes like ours. It's good enough if we can give a piece of clothing without patches when visiting relatives."
Luo Qiao sighed when she heard this. She almost forgot that this was 1972 and it was normal to be shabby.
She tugged at her clothes and nodded dejectedly, "Okay, let's go!"
As soon as the two of them went out, they met Zhong Meixian who came with something in her arms.
An educated youth was leading Zhong Meixian towards them. When he saw Luo Tian going out, he shouted, "Luo Zhiqing, someone is looking for you," then turned and left.
Luo Tian also saw Zhong Meixian.
Seeing Zhong Meixian, Luo Tian walked up to her and said, "Auntie, why are you here?" As she spoke, she saw what Zhong Meixian was holding in her hand. It was exactly what she had sent to Gu's house yesterday, but now it was brought back by Zhong Meixian.
Luo Tian had guessed what Zhong Meixian was here for, but she didn't say it out loud. Instead, she smiled and invited her, "Auntie, come in and sit inside."
