Chapter 15 The best grandma comes to visit
The weather was gloomy for several days.
Gu Jianguo and his soldiers have been hunting in the mountains for almost half a month.
In the past half month, in addition to taking care of the children's three meals a day, Su Mingmei was also busy stocking coal briquettes for the home.
The firewood at home is running out, so Gu Jianguo will go to his fellow villagers' homes to exchange some firewood after returning from hunting.
While Su Mingmei was busy, Gu Qiqi lay quietly in the cradle.
She has been in this body for a month.
A lot of things have changed in this month, and no one can connect her current appearance with the previous Gu Qiqi.
The original body was born prematurely, but after a month of transformation, Gu Qiqi is now healthy, with fair and rosy skin, and no longer has the weak and dark yellow color of a premature baby.
Feeling uncomfortable all over after lying down for so long, Gu Qiqi turned over and slept on her side.
It’s so boring. Her baby body can’t do anything. She should just continue practicing.
Today is the weekend. Gu Jinze is doing his homework at home, while Gu Jinchen and Gu Jinan are out playing with their friends.
After finishing his homework, Gu Jinze squatted beside the cradle and looked at his sister.
His sister is so pretty that he never gets tired of looking at her.
Especially for a chubby little face, you can poke a small dimple and it feels really good.
Every time, he only dared to poke his sister gently when she was asleep. Otherwise, when she woke up, she would act so fierce and would not let him touch her at all...
Su Mingmei neatly stacked the coal briquettes she bought into a bamboo basket, then moved the basket to the eaves, covered it with a piece of waterproof tarpaulin, and carefully pressed it with bricks to protect it from wind and rain.
After collecting the coal briquettes, Su Mingmei took the broom and swept the coal dust left on the ground.
At this moment, the gate of the courtyard was slammed loudly!
"Who is it?" Su Mingmei stood up suspiciously.
Their house is on the edge of the staff compound, with a large courtyard outside the small bungalow. Usually the gate is closed, and except for the Xiao family next door, they have almost no contact with the people in the courtyard.
Gu Jinze, who was stretching out his finger to touch his sister's face, was startled by the sudden knock on the door. He was not paying attention and poked his finger deeply into his sister's face.
Gu Qiqi, who was soundly sleeping, opened her eyes innocently.
Gu Jinze withdrew his hand reluctantly with a guilty look on his face: "I'm sorry, big brother didn't mean it."
"Open the door, Su Mingmei, open the door for me quickly."
Outside the courtyard gate, Gu Jianguo's mother Zhang Juhua stood there with a stern face and shouted impatiently.
She stared at the two-meter-high wall in front of her and felt a pang of pain.
Well, the old family has really become prosperous.
The last time I came here, it was just a small courtyard with a fence, but this time, a wall had been built.
Even after he got money, he didn't even remember his mother. He only cared about eating and drinking delicious food. What a heartless person.
"Mom, I knew that big brother got a promotion. Look at this courtyard wall, it's made of red bricks. How much did it cost?" Gu Jianjun's wife Ruan Xiaohua's eyes rolled around, her face full of calculation.
I heard that the eldest brother is now the deputy group leader!
With the promotion of position, the benefits will definitely be much higher.
The moment she got the news, she urged her mother-in-law to come over. It would be great if she could get some benefits back.
"Open the door, Su Mingmei, I know you are at home, open the door for me quickly!" Zhang Juhua shouted loudly and couldn't help kicking the door.
The boss got promoted in the army, but he didn't tell her a word. He deliberately didn't want her to know.
Do you think you can hide it this way?
Fortunately, my second son’s wife is here.
Otherwise she would suffer a great loss!
Zhang Aiju became furious when she thought about the fact that the old man didn't give her a lot of money to spend.
[Oh, it's my awesome grandma and second aunt, tsk, they're probably here to get money from me again! ]
Gu Qiqi glanced in the direction of the courtyard gate and did not have the slightest favorable impression towards the two men.
Su Mingmei frowned. Based on her understanding of her mother-in-law, she knew that something bad would happen once the door was opened.
She was busy cooking for the children and had no time to take care of it.
Su Mingmei just did what she was supposed to do and pretended not to hear even if Zhang Aiju shouted at the top of her lungs.
My husband is not at home. If there is anything, I will wait until he comes back.
In the past, she would just deal with her mother-in-law on the surface, but ever since she knew that she and her brother-in-law's family were the indirect executioners of Qibao's death, she was left with only disgust and nausea!
Their family died tragically in the previous life. In this life, she just wants her family to be safe and sound!
She would never allow anyone to hurt her Qibao!
…
[Wow, my mom is awesome. No matter how the old woman yells, she won’t open the door!]
[Our courtyard door is made of solid wood, it's strong and durable, no matter how my superb grandma cuts it, it's not our effort that's being wasted. ]
Gu Qiqi, lying in the cradle, was calm and composed.
She was worried that her mother would open the door for the old woman!
Now it seems that her worries were unnecessary.
Her mother is so smart!
Gu Jinze, who was standing by, covered his sister with the quilt lovingly.
My little sister is cuter when she wakes up. Look at her little expression, so lively and vivid.
Zhang Aiju traveled for two hours and didn't even have breakfast when she got here. Her old bones were tired and hungry, and she felt dry mouth after shouting a few times.
The biting north wind, carrying with it a bone-chilling chill, kept blowing at people, as if it wanted to blow them away on the spot and spiral them into the sky.
Looking at the gate of the old house, it was motionless.
Zhang Aiju, whose hair was messy due to the wind, was so angry that her eyes felt dizzy and she wished she could fall down on the spot.
It was lunch time and everyone was busy cooking at home. In addition, the weather was too cold and no one wanted to go out in the cold, so Zhang Aiju made a fuss for a while and there was no one around.
"Mom, shout as loud as you can. I don't believe that my sister-in-law won't open the door. She's refusing to let you in. Isn't she afraid that the people in the family compound will spit at her?" Ruan Xiaohua on the side continued to add fuel to the fire.
My eldest brother’s house has such a good wall and the gate is closed tightly. There must be a lot of good things hidden in the house.
She and her mother-in-law came here today and had no intention of going back easily!
"Yes, I don't believe she would stay away from opening the door!" Zhang Aiju nodded and suddenly ran towards the gate of Xiao Tuan's house.
"Is anyone there? Is anyone home?" Zhang Aiju's calloused hands slammed hard on the Xiao family's door.
Although she is a hunchbacked old lady, Zhang Aiju, who is used to doing farm work, is still very strong.
The gate of Xiao's courtyard was slammed loudly!
Zhang Aiju tried her best and even wanted to break down the door, but unfortunately, it was still quiet next door and no one paid any attention to her.
Bai Xiumei went back to Beijing for some business these two days.
His wife was not at home, and Xiao Tuan was too lazy to come back during the day. He would eat in the cafeteria at noon and then go to the office.
There was no one next door, so it was useless even if Zhang Aiju knocked on the door.
Su Mingmei took two potatoes from the house and prepared to stir-fry them for the children.
I still have a few eggs from the supply and marketing cooperative that I weighed the day before yesterday, so I’ll make some steamed eggs with chopped green onions.
The children were in the growing period, so she tried her best to provide them with nutrition every day.
