The seven frogs were eaten up in one lunch break, and in the evening, Yu Rujia's family's meals returned to their usual pork and chicken.
Gao Shujing's cooking skills are certainly good, but the children had just eaten field frogs that morning, so they were still very fresh.
Thinking of the delicious field frogs they had eaten at noon, Duofu couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, shall we go catch field frogs tonight?"
Gao Shujing: "Uncle Guojing is coming tomorrow, and I need to pick him up. I won't be able to make you field frogs for lunch. How about we catch some tomorrow night and make them for you the day after?"
According to the bus Gao Guojing took, if it wasn't delayed, it should arrive at Dongyuan Commune around noon.
Gao Shujing decided to leave home at 11:00 AM. She would spend less time at home tomorrow morning than usual and wouldn't be able to prepare lunch as carefully as she usually does.
Yu Rujia: "Tomorrow night, you should take Uncle Guojing with you to catch them, and bring back as many as you can."
Knowing Gao Guojing's personality, he knew that field frogs were delicious, so he would definitely rush to catch them.
Duolu frowned slightly, remembering what Yu Rujia had said that morning: "Uncle Guojing wouldn't eat field frogs raw, would he?"
That's definitely not possible, Yu Rujia thought to herself.
Whenever food comes up, Duolu always has a lot of ideas.
Yu Rujia: "Your Uncle Guojing has grown up and won't eat random things anymore."
Duo Shou complained, "That's right. Duo Lu used to eat all sorts of things too, but he's not as reckless as he used to be. Uncle Guo Jing is older than Duo Lu, so he definitely wouldn't eat raw field frogs."
Duolu was relieved and nodded his little head, saying, "I'll tell Uncle Guojing that it's wrong to eat random things when he comes over." His chubby face was serious, as if he wasn't the one who used to eat random things.
So the fact that Jiangcheng has no good food is a thing of the past, but the fact that Gao Guojing eats random things is something that can't be forgotten, right?
Gao Shujing thought about it and decided not to defend Gao Guojing, since he had spoken recklessly before leaving.
On the train, Gao Guojing suddenly sneezed, thinking to himself with a smug smile that Duofu and the others must know he was going there and were thinking of him.
His gaze returned to the dry, hard flatbread in the box in front of him. Gao Guojing frowned and decided that once he arrived at Shangfen Brigade, he would eat his fill, especially the braised meat and the hot pot.
Thinking of the delicious food from Shangfen Brigade, Gao Guojing's flatbread didn't seem so bad when he ate it with plain water.
The next day, Gao Shujing prepared lunch in advance, thinking that it was fine to eat something cold in this kind of weather.
Yu Rujia: "Are you going to bring a boxed lunch to town? Guojing has been on the road all day, I don't know if he'll go hungry."
She had experienced the conditions on trains before, especially on a hot day like this, where the smells were so complicated they made her want to vomit.
When she came to Shangfen Brigade last year, she was fortunate enough to get a sleeper ticket thanks to Chen Tianming. There were no seats available, and the train was crowded. Even so, it was still tough on her, and she didn't get a decent meal for two days on the train.
She even deliberately drank less water in order to avoid going to the bathroom less often.
Gao Shujing: "He must have been too smelly to eat at that time. It doesn't take more than ten minutes to ride a bicycle from the town to Dongyuan Commune. I'll take your bicycle with me, and we can ride back together in no time."
He came over in early August last year, when the weather was similar to now, so he knows all too well what it's like for someone who's been traveling for a day and a night.
Yu Rujia: "That's fine. I'll prepare hot water at home so he can wash up when he arrives."
As for the food, Gao Shujing had already prepared a portion for him when he made lunch, so he just needed to heat it up while he was washing up.
The train was quite efficient this time, arriving in the city only an hour late. Gao Guojing arrived in town with a lot of stuff a little after 1 p.m.
Before the car had even come to a complete stop, Gao Guojing spotted Gao Shujing and stuck his head out of the window, waving excitedly: "Brother, I'm here, here!"
Gao Shujing looked in the direction of the sound and saw the conspicuous bag. He walked to the car door and took the two large bags from him as soon as he got off.
Gao Shujing: "We were lucky; the train wasn't delayed much."
Kao Kuo-Ching: "I've spent a whole day on the road since I left home. I'm starving. I hope you have food prepared at home?"
Gao Shujing: "You'll get your share. We'll take our bikes back; it'll only take ten minutes to get home."
Gao Guojing chuckled and said, "Brother, a bicycle can't carry all this stuff, can it? How about I ride my bicycle back first with some things, and you can carry the rest and walk back slowly?"
Gao Shujing: "Knowing you would bring a lot of things, I brought Rujia's bicycle with me. We'll each have a bicycle."
Gao Guojing: "Brother is really amazing, he even thought of this."
When Gao Guojing woke up from his afternoon nap, the little ones who were playing in the front yard saw him as soon as he stepped into the house. Duolu, who didn't remember him before, suddenly recalled things about him from his mind.
As Gao Guojing called out, "May you have abundant blessings, prosperity, longevity, and joy! I'm back!" Duolu abandoned Duoxi, who was playing happily with him, and ran towards Gao Guojing, saying, "Uncle Guojing."
Gao Guojing opened his arms, waiting for him to pounce on him: "Duolu..."
The two, who were heading in opposite directions, turned around just as Duolu was about to reach Gao Guojing's arms, leaving the latter empty-handed.
Before Gao Guojing could react, Duolu pinched his nose and said, "Uncle Guojing, you smell bad. You're unhygienic."
After saying that, the little guy even took a few steps back with his chubby little legs, using his actions to prove how much he disliked Gao Guojing.
The smell was coming from Gao Guojing. He had been in the car for a day and a night and had gotten used to the smell. He didn't mind it himself, but for others, the stench of sweat was a real shock.
Duolu has the most sensitive nose in the family. Even when Yu Rujia eats alone, the little guy will stay around her for a long time. So, the smell of Gao Guojing is bound to bother Duolu.
Duoxi, who had been running after Duolu, kept up with his second brother and moved away from Gao Guojing, uttering the word "stinky" mercilessly from his little mouth.
Duoshou stood up from the ground and fanned the stench that had blown into her nose with her little hand: "Uncle Guojing, you have to wash yourself clean every day. Auntie doesn't let us play with dirty people."
It's not very harmful, but extremely insulting.
The three consecutive blows made Gao Guojing's face crack. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's not that Uncle Guojing doesn't want to wash himself, it's that Uncle Guojing had nowhere to wash on the road. I'm not unhygienic."
Yu Rujia, who came out of the house, couldn't help but laugh when she saw this scene: "Guojing, the hot water is ready. Go wash up and then come eat something."
Gao Guojing originally intended to eat something to fill his stomach first, but after the little ones complained, he couldn't sit down to eat. He hurriedly took out clean clothes from his backpack and ran to the kitchen to fetch water.
