Chapter 105 Sons are treasures, daughters are weeds
Today is the weekend. After eating dumplings, Xiao Mo continued to lie on the lounge chair in the yard.
He looked like he was going to continue sleeping.
"Brother Xiao, you don't want to sleep anymore, do you?" Gu Jinan walked forward and asked with eyes wide open.
Gu Jinze and Gu Jinchen couldn't help but look over.
In the past, Qibao in their family was the god of sleep.
Could it be that the sleepy physique has now been passed on to Xiao Mo?
"It's a rare day off, why not sleep?" Xiao Mo lay down on the recliner, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
Everyone: “…”
Gu Jinchen: "Wait, the sun won't kill you!"
Gu Jinze: "It's November already, the sun is comfortable, it's not summer yet!"
"You guys, if you have nothing to do, come and help shovel the soil!" Su Mingyuan, who was about to continue digging the cellar, shouted to his nephews.
Anyway, these guys have all this energy and nowhere to use it!
It would be better to let them come and work hard!
Su Mingmei and Dong Yulan were washing clothes in the yard.
Gu Qiqi was bored, so she moved a small stool and sat next to her mother and grandmother, listening to their chat.
They talked about nothing more than the daily life of each household in the compound.
There is also Wang Caixia who lives diagonally opposite them. She is the family of the newly promoted battalion commander Li Xiangdong.
"I used to feel pity for Wang Caixia when I saw the mother and her two children. But you don't know that woman is so cruel. She thinks her son is a treasure and her daughter is a weed. She is a typical son-loving person."
"Who are you listening to? You haven't seen what happened in other people's families with your own eyes~" Su Mingmei glanced at her mother.
"Who said I didn't see it with my own eyes? Last time, our gate was not locked, Qibao was eating peach cake in the yard, and the little boy sneaked into our house, and the little girl followed him. I felt sorry for the little girl, so I gave each of us a piece of peach cake. But before the little girl could eat the peach cake, her mother took it away, saying that it was for her younger brother!"
Dong Yulan felt upset when she thought about what happened that day.
If she had known that the peaches would end up in the boy’s stomach, she wouldn’t have given him a single piece!
"Everyone has their own destiny!"
After all, it was someone else's family business, so Su Mingmei couldn't say anything.
They chatted about this and that, and Gu Qiqi listened quite seriously!
Dong Yulan couldn't help but laugh as she watched the little girl listening attentively to their small talk: "My dear, what are you listening to so attentively? Can I tell you more?"
Gu Qiqi blinked: "Grandma and mom talk so nicely!"
She certainly couldn't admit that she had a gossipy constitution.
This flattery successfully made both Su Mingmei and Dong Yulan laugh.
It doesn't take so many people to dig a cellar, so Gu Jinze went to the study to read medical books.
Gu Jinchen and Gu Jinan were left behind to help.
Digging a cellar is a technical job. Not only is the site selection critical, but special attention must also be paid to the digging process.
Seeing that his son Su Mingyuan had almost finished digging the entrance hole, Su Qingshan hurried to prepare wood as supporting material.
Su Mingmei meant that the cellar should be dug as big as possible.
There are many people in the family and the space is small.
The underground space is large and can be used to store some things.
Fortunately, the soil in their yard was good. When digging to a certain depth, the soil was quite solid. The loess was very sticky and not easy to collapse.
After washing the clothes, Dong Yulan and Su Mingmei started making autumn clothes for the family.
Su Mingyuan was lying on the hospital bed. When the leaders of the cotton mill came to visit him, they also picked up a piece of dark-colored defective cloth, which was just right for making coats and trousers for the boys and the men in the family.
Dong Yulan was good at making clothes. Su Mingmei learned a lot from her since she was a child. Although the clothes she made were not as good as those of Dong Yulan, they were still good compared with those of the wives of soldiers in the military region.
Gu Qiqi stood by the cellar and watched her uncle digging the soil, while Gu Jinchen and Gu Jinan helped pull the soil up from the cellar with a rope.
After using the diluted version of the marrow washing fluid, the strength of the family members increased, especially Su Mingyuan's. Gu Qiqi suspected that it was the golden finger brought to him by his rebirth.
It’s like being reborn in this small body, with the golden finger of the secret space.
Three days passed in a flash!
The cellar at home is finally dug!
Gu Qiqi was also carried down by her uncle Su Mingyuan for a tour. The space inside was quite large, and the walls were polished smooth by Su Mingyuan.
"Now we don't have to worry about having no place to store food. The vegetables and potatoes we eat in winter can be preserved longer than if they were stored up there!" Su Qingshan said with a look of relief.
Gu Qiqi secretly used her mental power to reinforce the cellar to ensure that it would not collapse no matter how long it was used!
As the weather gets cooler, the leaves in the courtyard gradually turn yellow, but the vegetables in the Gu family yard are still full of vitality...
Dong Yulan exclaimed it was strange.
In order not to appear too special, a large area of vegetables has been pulled up and replaced with seasonal radishes and cabbages...
The green onions and leeks are covered with plastic film and are growing well.
Su Mingyuan has gone back to work at the cotton mill.
During the time I stayed at the Gu family, not only did I recover physically, but my mental state was also adjusted to the best, and I was ready to go back and fight at any time.
Wang Ergou was sentenced to be sent to a farm for reform, but Lei Dajun is still alive and well...
Thinking about how he was pushed down by Lei Dajun and crushed to death on a cotton gin in his previous life, Su Mingyuan swore that he would do everything he could to make him die a miserable death in this life!
On December 5, 1970, the seventh day of the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, Gu Qiqi was already one year and four months old.
It happened to be Saturday, and Su Qingshan didn't have to go to school on duty, so he was chopping wood in the yard.
As the weather gets cooler, it's time to prepare firewood at home.
Gu Jinze took a bus to the military hospital to see Mr. Bai early in the morning.
Gu Jinchen and Gu Jinan were doing military boxing in the yard when they had nothing to do.
During this period, the two of them were quite interested in military boxing and liked to practice it whenever they had nothing to do.
Gu Qiqi sat in the yard and peeled peanuts with her grandma.
I planted more than twenty beds of peanuts in the vegetable garden, and harvested half a bag in the autumn.
Xiao Mo accompanied Qibao in peeling peanuts.
The peanuts grown in my own vegetable garden are particularly plump, and the peanut skins are bright red, which looks more attractive than ordinary peanuts.
Gu Qiqi ate and peeled at the same time!
Raw peanuts are delicious, but she still prefers to eat fresh wet peanuts just pulled out of the soil. These dried peanuts are much inferior to the wet peanuts just pulled out of the soil.
Everyone was shelling peanuts when the half-open courtyard door was pushed open from the outside.
When Gu Qiqi looked over there, a little head popped in, followed by the entire body.
"Li Xiaobao, where is your mother? Why isn't she with you?" Dong Yulan saw Li Xiaobao and subconsciously looked behind him.
Li Xiaobao, the son of Li Xiangdong, is also the treasure of the Li family.
"Eat, eat!" Li Xiaobao drooled at the corners of his mouth. Seeing Gu Qiqi throwing peanuts into her mouth, he swayed over and reached out to take them.
"You can't eat this. It would be terrible if it gets stuck!" Dong Yulan said in time, and reminded Qibao not to give it to children casually.
Li Xiaobao is only one month younger than Gu Qiqi, and he still can't walk very steadily.
After all, he is not her own child. It’s okay for Qibao to eat these, but she can’t take the responsibility for other people’s children!
