Chapter 38: A Pheasant Appearing Out of Nowhere
Seeing that the whole family accepted it well and did not react too much to the sudden appearance of the sweet potato vines, Gu Qiqi couldn't help but roll her eyes.
In that case, it shouldn’t matter if I have a little more!
Dong Yulan was washing dishes when she suddenly heard a rooster crowing.
Turning my head, I saw a long-tailed pheasant weighing four or five pounds flapping its wings beside the stove...
Dong Yulan was startled and frightened by the pheasant that appeared out of nowhere. She almost dropped the bowl in her hand.
She suppressed her inner surprise, walked over, picked up a basket beside her, and covered the pheasant.
She wiped her hands on her apron, ran into the main room impatiently, and winked at Su Mingmei.
Seeing her mother acting mysterious, Su Mingmei looked curious and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Look for yourself!" Dong Yulan led her daughter into the kitchen. When they opened the basket, they saw a pheasant lying inside, and it seemed that it was preparing to lay eggs.
Dong Yulan was delighted: "This pheasant is really fat and it's laying eggs!"
Su Mingmei took a deep breath and thought, yes, it must be Qibao who did it again!
They gave me sweet potato vines and pheasants as gifts!
Her Qibao is so capable!
Su Mingmei returned to the main room and looked at Qibao in the cradle.
The little girl stared at her with her big black eyes.
[What's my mom's reaction? The pheasant should have seen it, right? ]
[My dad was injured, so I stewed a pheasant to nourish his body. My brothers are craving meat too! ]
[Grandma and grandpa are old, they also need to eat something good! 】
…
If she wasn't afraid of scaring them, she would have thrown the wild boar outside.
She has the secret space as a powerful weapon, and there are so many wild game in the space, it would be a waste not to eat them.
Gu Qiqi has always been a very Buddhist person.
Reborn into this life, surrounded by family, eat well, drink well, and enjoy life in time!
"Little girl, why are you so worried all day long? The sweet potato vines and pheasants have all been seen by mom. We have food and drink at home, so we should keep a low profile. Mom doesn't want Qibao's secret to be discovered by outsiders!"
Su Mingmei spoke softly to Qibao.
It’s not that I’m not moved when I see those things.
But compared to Qibao's safety, everything else is secondary.
She would rather eat coarse food than let Qibao take risks.
The three brothers Gu Jinze were still excited about having more pheasants at home, but when they heard Su Mingmei's words, they all fell silent.
If my sister's secret was discovered, wouldn't it be dangerous?
No, they must not let their sister be in danger!
Su Qingshan and Dong Yulan also had faces full of emotion, and they loved little Qibao so much!
Look at the little girl, she took the whole family into consideration with just a few words, but forgot herself.
Lying on the bed, Gu Jianguo felt both distressed and guilty.
He is a useless father.
Let a baby worry about food and drink for his family.
[Okay, Mom, this is for my own good. She doesn’t want me to be in danger! ]
[But it doesn't matter. As long as our family members don't tell anyone, we can just live our lives behind closed doors and no one will find out.]
…
She doesn't like to be timid and put herself in a difficult position because of the fear of being discovered.
She also didn't just take things out without considering her own safety.
She actually did investigate.
Everyone in the family kept it a secret, and my brothers were also very sensible and not the type to show off or talk about it.
Gu Jinan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't say anything, otherwise his sister would be in danger!
Gu Jinze and Gu Jinchen also kept it in mind, and they would never reveal a word about family matters to anyone else in the future.
"Mom, please teach us how to peel it!" Gu Jinze picked up a sweet potato stalk and said to Su Mingmei.
"And me, and me, I want to learn too!" Gu Jinan was very excited.
Gu Jinze, Su Mingmei and others gathered together to peel the skin. Dong Yulan cleaned up the kitchen and looked at the pheasant under the basket. The eggs had already been laid.
Dong Yulan picked up the green-skinned pheasant egg and cherished it very much.
For dinner, the Gu family’s table added stir-fried potato tips and sweet potato stems with garlic.
In the middle of winter, eating a bite of the juicy green stir-fried sweet potato tips is a feast for the eyes with its crispy and tender texture.
Sweet potato stems in garlic sauce are another delicious treat.
Gu Jinan: "Wow, delicious, even better than meat!"
Dong Yulan chuckled: "Then you can continue to eat the fried potato tips tomorrow, and don't eat the meat, leave it for us!"
She couldn't bear to kill the pheasant, and planned to wait for it to lay two more eggs to make a plate of scrambled eggs.
"Let's share good things together. Mom said we can't be picky about food!" Gu Jinan said with a roll of his eyes.
Dinner was spent in laughter.
After dinner, Su Mingmei prepared milk powder for Qibao.
The milk powder can, which had just been opened a few days ago, was empty again.
Su Mingmei is worried.
If she doesn't find a solution, her Qibao will have no milk to drink.
"How about making some millet porridge for Qibao, or adding some rice noodles or something?" Dong Yulan suggested.
We can't let her good girl starve.
"The child has a weak stomach, so let's wait until she's a little older before adding complementary food. I'll go see if anyone has unused milk powder coupons tomorrow..."
It’s not like there aren’t four-month-old babies who are fed rice porridge.
In this day and age, it’s good enough to have enough to eat.
It’s just that she didn’t want to let her Qibao down.
"Okay, let your dad call Mingyuan tomorrow and ask him to think of a solution!" Dong Yulan nodded.
She was more reluctant to see Qibao suffer than her own daughter.
Early the next morning.
Xiao Tuan came to the door carrying five pounds of wild boar meat and two pounds of eggs, followed by Bai Lao who came uninvited.
"Deputy Colonel Gu was injured on duty. These few pounds of pork and eggs are our corps' condolences to Comrade Gu. Take them and give them to Jianguo to nourish him!"
"Oh, this is Mr. Bai. You must have seen him before. I'll bring him here for Jianguo to see!"
…
Su Mingmei took the wild boar meat and eggs and invited the two into the house.
As soon as Mr. Bai entered the house, he couldn't wait to go to Gu Jianguo's room.
Xiao Yi looked at him with an impatient look and couldn't help but twitching his lips.
You know, a medical master like Mr. Bai is usually very busy, but this time he didn't leave...
He said he wanted to stay at his house for a while.
What prompted him to make this decision was Gu Jianguo.
I don’t understand what charm Gu Jianguo has that attracted Mr. Bai to stay.
Xiao Yi followed Bai Lao into the room.
After Gu Jianguo was injured, Gu Qiqi added spiritual spring water to the water he drank every day. Combined with the magical effect of the bone-replenishing paste, he looked rosy and not at all sick.
"He's in good condition. It seems like he's being well taken care of by his brother and sister-in-law!"
Seeing him like this, Xiao Tuan couldn't help but feel jealous when comparing himself to how busy he was every day and sometimes couldn't even get his meals.
"Not bad, not bad. My wife is really good at taking care of people!" Gu Jianguo snorted proudly.
Old Bai standing by was secretly shocked!
Only one night had passed, and Gu Jianguo's condition was very different from yesterday.
How did this kid do it?
As he was thinking, Bai Lao's hand had already taken Gu Jianguo's pulse.
Xiao Tuan watched quietly from the side.
The group was very concerned about Gu Jianguo's physical condition and wanted to know whether he could stand up again.
After all, the position of deputy group leader cannot remain vacant forever!
