Gu Ranran got up and went to the living room, only to find that no one was home, so she had to go to the kitchen to get breakfast.
Looking at Zhang Tiantian’s breakfast still warming in the pot, I knew that Zhang Tiantian had not gotten up yet.
Gu Ranran was eating lean meat porridge and meat buns. She knew that the lean meat porridge was made by Zhang's mother and the meat buns were made by Gu's mother.
After Gu Ranran finished her breakfast, she took out a sweater to knit. She knitted for a long time before Zhang Tiantian got up.
Zhang Tiantian took a bite of the meat bun and couldn't help but sigh: "Ranran, Auntie's meat buns are really delicious, even better than those sold in state-owned restaurants."
"That's right. My mom's cooking is delicious. Even though my brother likes to go out and play, he still won't be used to it if he can't eat the food my mom cooks."
"Ranran, when the situation gets better, we can use Auntie's cooking skills to open a restaurant, and we will definitely make money."
"Okay, Tiantian, my mom will definitely be happy that I can make money with her cooking skills."
Zhang Tiantian looked left and right: "Ranran, is there no one at home?"
"Tiantian, my brother should be out playing, and my parents should be out with their uncle and aunt to get used to the village."
"My uncle and aunt are very adaptable. Last night, I saw my uncle and my dad crying, and I was a little worried."
"Yes, they used to have a very good comradeship, but now reality is too cruel. Uncle Lu is gone, and my father and your father are both very sad."
"Yeah, if they hadn't retired, then these things wouldn't have happened."
Zhang Tiantian had just finished speaking when Gu Zili came running back. Gu Ranran saw that Gu Zili was out of breath and quickly patted him on the back: "Brother, don't run so fast. You look tired. Did something happen?"
Gu Zili recovered and answered Gu Ranran proudly.
"Sister, I can earn work points now. I earned 2 work points this morning."
After Gu Zili finished speaking, he made a two gesture to Gu Ranran with his hand.
Gu Ranran looked at the arrogant Gu Zili and quickly touched his forehead with her hand: "Brother, what are you doing? Earning work points? Didn't you hate working the most before? You saw a broom fall over and didn't even help it. How can you earn work points?"
"Hmph, sister, that was in the past. I'm grown up now, and earning work points is fun.
This morning I went to play with Dali, and he took me to pick grass for the pigs. Dali picked two baskets of grass for the pigs and earned four work points. I picked one basket of grass for the pigs and earned two work points.
My mother was very happy when she found out about me. She immediately looked at me with new eyes. She even praised me, which she hadn't done in years. She said I behaved very well today and she would make me something delicious when she got home.
Seeing the happy Gu Zili, Gu Ranran also quickly offered his praise.
"Brother, you're amazing. You're already earning work points at such a young age. When I went to the countryside before, I only earned two work points a day, and I had to pay children to play with me by giving them candy."
After Gu Ranran finished speaking, she looked at Gu Zili who was looking at her with contempt. Although Gu Zili didn't say anything, silence was more powerful than words at this moment.
Gu Ranran was a little embarrassed and quickly changed the subject: "Brother, what did mom and dad do? Do you know? Where did you meet mom?"
"Sister, Mom and Auntie went to feed the pigs. They are cooking pig food in the cowshed. They should be back soon. She said she would come back early and make me something delicious.
Dad seems to be herding cattle with his uncle. They drove the cattle to the mountains together this morning and should be back around noon."
Just as Gu Zili finished speaking, Zhang's mother and Gu's mother came back with dishes in their hands.
Mother Gu watched Gu Ranran knitting a sweater, and came over and told her worriedly: "Ranran, let your mother knit for you. Your belly is so big, just take a good rest."
"Mom, knitting isn't tiring. Besides, it would be boring if I didn't do anything. I just knit to kill time.
"Mom, why are you raising pigs? Our family doesn't need those few work points. Lu Hai and I can support you with our wages."
"Ranran, don't worry. I'm old and can't sit still, so Mom will find something to do.
I was going to go out and play with your aunt today, but Aunt Li, who raises pigs, had to go take care of her daughter-in-law after she gave birth. No one wanted to raise pigs, so your aunt and I took on this job.
Raising pigs is not tiring. You can earn 6 work points a day. You just need to cook pig food and feed the pigs.
I can do this job. Before your father retired from the army, when I joined the army, I raised pigs with your aunt.
I'm very familiar with raising pigs. It's boring to do nothing, so I might as well find something to do.
Zhang's mother then said to Gu Ranran, "Ranran, don't worry. People of our generation are used to suffering and can't sit idle.
Don't worry, raising pigs is not tiring, and I will take good care of your mother. We can chat together while we raise pigs, and when we have time, we can gossip with the old sisters in the village together.
You and Tiantian, just take good care of the baby, we will take care of ourselves.
You guys play first, we're going to cook. Today we're going to make Zili's favorite sweet potato pudding, sweet and sour pork ribs, and braised pork."
Zhang's mother and Gu's mother went to the kitchen, and Gu Zili followed them happily to the kitchen.
"Ranran, don't worry about your uncle and aunt. They can do whatever they want as long as they are happy.
It would be boring to do nothing, just like the two of us, we are both pregnant and can't sit still.
I have to find something to do every day to pass the time, and I'll go for a walk in the village in a few days."
