Chapter 26: Brother-in-law's Nightmare
Su Qingshan and Dong Yulan came to their daughter's house and brought a lot of things in big and small bags.
The most numerous items were various small clothes and shoes made for Qibao, as well as a large bag of scraps of cloth and a piece of defective cloth.
The rest are all kinds of snacks, eggs, white flour, refined rice...
When Su Mingmei saw these things, her eyes became moist.
"You're here, why bring anything with you? But I'm really short of fabrics. Mom, you have great craftsmanship, so you can help me make some cotton clothes for Jinze and the others."
Su Mingmei held the cloth and looked at it from left to right.
It was a piece of dark blue muslin, with a tear in the middle, but nothing else.
Just cut off the scratched piece and leave the rest intact.
When Su Mingyuan picked out the defective cloth, many people were jealous of him.
The dark blue color is stain-resistant, and the fine cotton is soft and warm to wear against the skin, making it perfect for making cotton clothes.
"Making cotton clothes is no problem, but do you have cotton? How about letting Mingyuan think of a solution?" Dong Yulan said, placing her hopes on Su Mingyuan.
Su Mingyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Cotton is in short supply recently, and our factory is also out of stock!"
"Don't worry, Mom. I have cotton!" said Su Mingmei.
"It will be easy if we have cotton!" Dong Yulan nodded, thinking that her son-in-law must be very capable and got the cotton from somewhere.
"Dad, Mom, you guys sit for a while. Since Mingyuan is here, you can stay here tonight and leave tomorrow morning. I'll go cook first!" Su Mingmei said as she got up and went to the kitchen.
Gu Jianguo took a half-dried cured rabbit and took out potatoes and cabbage from the house.
In the evening, I make a braised rabbit with potatoes, a pot of cabbage stewed with vermicelli, and a pot of sweet potato and multi-grain rice.
The cafeteria did not serve meat for dinner, but fortunately there were two cured rabbits left at home.
When Su Mingyuan saw the cured rabbit, his eyes lit up: "Brother-in-law, where did you get the rabbit? This rabbit looks really fat. I'm in for a treat tonight!"
"We caught it in the mountains some time ago. Next time, I'll call you and we can set a trap or something on the outside. There won't be any danger if we don't go inside!" Gu Jianguo talked to his brother-in-law while he chopped the whole cured rabbit into pieces with a knife.
"Okay, then we have a deal. Brother-in-law must remember to call me!" Su Mingyuan looked interested when he heard about going into the mountains to catch rabbits.
"Brother-in-law, you haven't offended anyone recently, right? It's best to get rid of all the things that shouldn't be kept at home. Also, be careful when getting along with others and don't let them get any handles on you..." Su Mingyuan suddenly came up to Gu Jianguo and gave him a serious warning.
"Did you hear any rumors?" Gu Jianguo narrowed his eyes.
It’s very unusual for my brother-in-law to come here this time!
"No, I just had a nightmare recently. I dreamed about you and my sister..."
Talking about his past life, Su Mingyuan still feels scared.
It was about Gu Jianguo's family being sent down to the countryside, his father's legs were broken, his mother was driven crazy, and he himself was pushed into a cotton gin and crushed to death...
Su Mingyuan clenched his fists, his tall body trembling slightly. The pain of crushing flesh and bones was engraved into his soul and deeply imprinted in his memory.
Whenever he thought about it, he couldn't help but tremble all over...
"Are you okay?" Gu Jianguo frowned, with some worry in his eyes.
Although I don’t know why my brother-in-law dreamed of this, this is not a dream, but the plot that Qibao said...
My brother-in-law must have been devastated to see himself in that scene in the dream!
Compared to his biological parents who published a statement in the newspaper to sever ties with him and draw a clear line, his father-in-law, mother-in-law and brother-in-law valued friendship and loyalty...
"Brother-in-law, I'm fine. I just think it won't be wrong for us to be more cautious!" Su Mingyuan adjusted his mood and emphasized.
"You're right. It's better to be safe than sorry. I will be careful, and so should you. Try not to get into conflict with others. If you have any problems that you can't solve, come to me in the army!"
Just because his brother-in-law worked hard for his family in the previous life, Gu Jianguo is determined to protect him in this life!
Gu Jianguo chopped the rabbit meat and washed the potatoes and cabbage.
Seeing her daughter busy in the kitchen, Dong Yulan reluctantly gave Qibao to Su Qingshan and went to the kitchen to help.
"Mom, you just take a rest. There are only two dishes, which is enough for me alone!" Su Mingmei couldn't help but say when she saw her mother coming in.
"It's okay. I'll light a fire for you so we can talk!" Dong Yulan sat down on the stool in front of the stove. "Besides, you can warm yourself by the fire!"
Su Mingmei didn't refuse anymore. She cooked while chatting with her mother.
Soak the vermicelli in boiled water in advance.
While instructing Gu Jianguo to light the clay stove, Su Mingmei poured some soybean oil into the hot iron pot.
Then she poured the chopped green onions, ginger and garlic into the pot. As the aroma spread, Su Mingmei poured the washed cured rabbit into the pot...
This rabbit is quite fat, and the rabbit meat started to fry and produce oil after a while...
The air was filled with the tempting aroma of meat.
When the rabbit meat is almost done, add the chopped potatoes...
Rabbit meat is difficult to cook, so Su Mingmei cut the potatoes into large pieces.
As the water in the pot boiled, Su Mingmei put the rabbit meat and potatoes into a large clay pot and simmered it on a clay stove over low heat.
At Gu Jinan's strong request, the clay stove was placed next to the main room door. The rabbit meat in the pottery pot was bubbling and cooking, and layers of white mist rose from the pottery pot...
Gu Jinan stood beside the clay stove, breathing hard...
It smells so good...
From time to time, he would fan with his little hands to drive the white mist towards him!
It looks funny and ridiculous!
It was simply unbearable to watch Gu Qiqi being held in her grandfather's arms!
[This conspicuous bag of Brother San is embarrassing again! ]
Don’t make your childish voice of disdain too obvious!
Su Qingshan was amused. He looked at Qibao in his arms, and then at Gu Jinan in front of the clay stove. It was indeed quite embarrassing!
By the time Su Mingmei's rice was steamed, the rabbit meat on the clay stove was almost done.
The rabbit weighed three or four pounds, and I put five or six potatoes in it, making a big pot full.
You little brat, you’re going to bankrupt me!
Gu Jinze and his two companions could already eat enough, and now with the addition of Su Mingyuan and Su Mingmei's parents, they don't have to worry about not being able to finish the food.
The whole family happily eats around the dining table.
Next door, Xiao Tuan returned home from a busy day to find it deserted.
Listening to the laughter coming from Gu Jianguo, Xiao Yi felt very uncomfortable.
Oh, he misses his wife!
If the bad boy at home hadn't caused trouble again, my wife wouldn't have gone back for so long!
In comparison, the little girl next door is still adorable. That bad boy is not as cute as the girl at all!
Xiao Yi walked around the house, took a bottle of Erguotou, picked up a bag of pears, and knocked on the gate of Gu Jianguo's house.
Well, his wife wasn't at home, so he shamelessly went to get a free meal...
Gu Jianguo had just finished his meal when he heard a knock on the door and hurried to open it.
"Tuan Xiao, have you eaten yet? Let's eat together." When Gu Jianguo saw Xiao Yi coming over with wine, he knew what he meant and invited him immediately!
