Chapter 20 Gu Jinan gets frostbite
The political commissar's wife subconsciously glanced at Gu Qiqi in the cradle.
When I saw it, I immediately felt extremely curious!
"This child is so beautiful!"
The little face is white and tender, the skin is smooth and soft, the big black eyes stare at you, as if they can speak, and the little mouth is pink...
The political commissar's wife had seen many children, but this was the first time she had seen one so good-looking.
Didn’t they say that Gu Jianguo’s daughter was born prematurely? How could a premature baby grow up so well?
"Haha, whatever she wants!" Gu Jianguo responded without any modesty.
His wife is pretty, how can his daughter not be pretty?
Su Mingmei, who was standing by, blushed and secretly glared at her husband.
[Yes, my mom is a great beauty. I will definitely be as pretty as her when I grow up!] Gu Qiqi nodded in agreement in the cradle.
Hearing her daughter's voice, Su Mingmei's brows relaxed and the corners of her lips couldn't help but rise.
Along the way, many people came up to watch Gu Qiqi.
Fortunately, everyone was thinking about eating meat, so after taking a few glances, they all went their separate ways, and it didn't cause too much trouble.
When we got to the cafeteria, it was packed with people.
Everyone has lined up consciously.
Gu Jinze and his two younger brothers quickly ran towards the team with fewer people.
Gu Jianguo and Su Mingmei followed closely behind.
It was the first time that Gu Qiqi saw so many people since she came here. Her big eyes were full of curiosity and she kept looking around.
So this is what the army canteen looks like.
As expected of military families, everyone was very self-conscious and lined up obediently.
The whole cafeteria was like Chinese New Year, and everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.
Gu Jianguo is the deputy regiment commander. He usually has a stern face and is extremely strict with his soldiers. He is known as the living devil.
At this moment, the living devil was holding a baby in his arms, which shocked all the friends.
Especially the serious living devil who would lower his head from time to time and smile at the baby in his arms...
Wow, is this still their deputy group leader?
It's like he's a completely different person.
Although the line looked long, the food was served quite quickly and soon it was Gu Jianguo and his friends' turn.
The breakfast in the cafeteria is quite simple, with the staple food being three-in-one steamed buns and pork bone, radish and kelp soup.
After receiving the steamed buns and making soup, Gu Jianguo and his family found a corner and sat down to eat.
After all, it was radish and kelp soup cooked with meat bones. For people who rarely had meat in years, the taste was amazing and everyone was extremely satisfied after eating it.
After breakfast, Gu Jianguo sent Qibao home and went to a nearby village to exchange firewood.
Gu Jinan and his two boys started thinking about lunch as soon as they finished breakfast.
The lunch in the cafeteria is more sumptuous than breakfast. I heard that there are three dishes today, all of which are meat. Everyone is ready...
Gu Qiqi had seen what the army canteen looked like. After returning and drinking the milk powder, she fell into a deep sleep peacefully.
In the middle of winter, it’s still warm in bed!
Su Mingmei took Gu Jinchen and Gu Jinan to the cafeteria to get lunch.
Gu Jianguo had not returned from exchanging firewood with his fellow villager, so Gu Jinze stayed at home looking after his sleeping sister.
At noon, I had a braised pork with potatoes, a cabbage and pork stewed with vermicelli, and a pork rib and radish soup.
After the food was brought back, Su Mingmei left a portion for Gu Jianguo and ate the rest with the three children.
Gu Qiqi seemed to smell the aroma of meat while she was sleeping, and she couldn't help but smack her lips twice.
Su Mingmei, who was standing by, had a doting look on her face: "Qibao, grow up quickly, and then your dad will hunt wild boar meat for you to eat!"
When Gu Qiqi heard the sound of eating meat, she curled her lips and giggled twice, as if in response to her.
Gu Jianguo exchanged a lot of firewood with his fellow villagers and filled the kitchen directly. There was also a lot of firewood neatly piled up in the corridor. Together with the coal briquettes prepared earlier, it was enough for them to burn for the whole winter.
After changing the firewood, Gu Jianguo didn't rest either.
He took out yesterday's rabbit skin and scraped off the grease with a knife.
Two rabbit skins may seem like little, but once the saltpeter is processed, they can be used to make a furry scarf and hat for my daughter.
The rabbit meat has been rubbed with salt, marinated for a few days and then hung up to dry to make cured rabbit. When they are craving for meat, they can take it out and give it to the children to eat.
After all, we can still eat meat in the cafeteria these days.
By the time Gu Jianguo finished processing the rabbit skins, it had already become completely dark.
Gu Qiqi had slept all day and was now in high spirits.
The snow outside is getting heavier and heavier, and it's chilly inside~
Gu Jinze and his two boys climbed onto the bed early because the ground was too cold and their feet were hurting from the cold.
When Gu Jianguo saw Qibao wake up, he happily picked her up from the cradle.
This little girl eats and sleeps, sleeps and eats every day, and enjoys life better than anyone else.
Gu Qiqi was holding the bottle and drinking milk in Gu Jianguo's arms. The suppressed crying of Gu Jinan could be heard from the next room.
When Su Mingmei went to check, she found that he had frostbite on his feet, which became itchy when it got hotter...
Gu Jinan wanted to scratch until he bled...
Su Mingmei checked Jin'an's shoes again and saw that there was a big hole on the heel of his cotton shoes and the soles were soaked by the snow water. She was immediately filled with guilt and self-blame.
The shoes are too small for Gu Jinze.
Cotton shoes are easy to get wet, and the eldest child wore a pair of small shoes two years ago, which are not durable. They have become so rotten, but the third child didn't say a word...
Blame her, she is too careless!
After Gu Qiqi finished drinking her milk, Gu Jianguo wrapped her in a small quilt and brought her over.
When he came in, Gu Jinan still had tears on his face. When he met his sister's big black eyes, his expression froze for a second.
I want to cry, but I don’t dare to, for fear of being laughed at by my sister!
But it's really itchy...
He couldn't bear it so much!
Gu Qiqi looked at Gu Jinan's almost ferocious appearance and couldn't help but feel distressed!
[Third brother looks so miserable, he got frostbite at such a young age, third brother is so pitiful! ]
[However, according to the plot, after my family was sent to the farm, I also caught a cold due to the heavy snow, and died early because I had no money to treat the disease! ]
[This is not just a simple heavy snow, but a heavy snowstorm! ]
[According to the records in the book, this heavy snow lasted for a total of 20 days, crushing many houses. Many people died because of the collapsed houses. So it’s still early now. This snow will continue until the eve of New Year’s Eve...]
Gu Jianguo was still feeling sad about Qibao's early death in previous life, and the next second he was shocked by the message in his daughter's words.
If what she said is true, the impact of this snowstorm is bound to be huge.
He went to his fellow villager's house to exchange firewood today. Their adobe house didn't look very solid...
There are several other simple houses in the same village...
"It's a pity that in this era, information is blocked and weather forecasts are not as accurate as in later generations. We can't prevent and control in advance, otherwise so many people wouldn't have died!"
Gu Qiqi sighed inwardly, her eyes falling on Gu Jinan's frostbitten feet again.
