This matter lingered in Li Qingyun's mind for a long time before it subsided.
It is so hard for women to live in this cannibalistic world. All they can take care of are themselves and the people around them.
1967 arrived as promised
After New Year's Day, it officially entered the twelfth lunar month. The weather was freezing cold, and Li Qingyun stayed at home eating and drinking.
Dabao, the older brother, took over the responsibility of taking care of his younger brother. She was responsible for feeding the two little guys and making her own down jackets. She had long missed the down jackets of the future.
Since winter came and the family distributed meat, she has not asked Aunt Jiang to buy meat again. Although some of the meat in the house was taken away by Gu Tingzhou, there was still a lot of meat, and she consumed very little by herself before.
Dabao hasn't eaten at home for more than half a month and has become a little thinner than before. She tries to get meat for him almost every day, trying to make him gain weight quickly.
In the past few months, Dabao and Erbao have grown taller and stronger visibly under her feeding.
There were no outsiders at home, so Li Qingyun simply took out the buns in the space every now and then to satisfy her cravings. Sometimes, when she was too lazy to cook, she would directly take out the ready-made meals in the space and eat them.
She is a good cook, and Dabao has no doubts about it. He keeps praising his mother's cooking and eats every meal cleanly.
Li Qingyun took out everything in the space, except for the fruits, and gave it to Dabao to eat. As expected of a child, his favorite was KFC's fried chicken and French fries. The old mother smiled secretly, thinking that children's tastes were the same no matter what era they were from.
Except for apples and pears, which could be taken out for the two children to taste, Li Qingyun could only eat the other fruits secretly in her space. Once, she secretly ate a durian. The eldest child even said that the house smelled bad and wondered if the second child had pooped.
My second baby is now very interested in sweet fruits. He can eat half of an apple by scraping it with a spoon and drooling while eating. It's quite fun.
Only two rabbits were left in the space to be eaten during the New Year. The others were processed by Li Qingyun into cold rabbits. Two large basins were filled with them and placed in the space. When you want to eat, you can just take out a bowl. It is very convenient and can be used as a snack or with rice.
Li Qingyun made two flavors, spicy and slightly spicy, and the slightly spicy one is exclusive to Dabao.
There was so much wild boar meat that I took some out and made dozens of kilograms of meat sauce. The meat sauce can be eaten with steamed buns, pancakes, noodles, and rice. The meat sauce can last for a whole winter.
Gu's father and mother and Cheng Jie also sent a bowl of cold rabbit and a bowl of meat sauce each.
Qiuju and the others said that the rabbit was too spicy when eaten cold, and it would be better to eat it with rice. Cheng Jie was quite accepting of it and did not change his expression after eating it.
Li Qingyun also took great pains to make grilled lamb skewers, which she grilled in a small stove. They were just enough for the mother and son to eat. After grilling the lamb skewers, she also grilled some vegetables and dipped them in the all-purpose dipping sauce. The taste was so delicious.
Dabao didn’t expect that there are so many ways to eat meat. This is something he never dared to think about before. It is so satisfying.
On the other side, Tian Meixue was not in such a good mood.
She had been depressed ever since her money was extorted. Then, when her son came back from winter vacation, he took out two crumpled test papers, with a score of 45 in Chinese and 50 in math.
She just felt her blood pressure soaring. How could this happen?
My grades were pretty good when I was studying. Although I dropped out halfway, they shouldn't be this bad. At least I should have passed.
Is it really his fate to be a street urchin?
Why doesn't this child follow her, but has to follow his useless father?
She was extremely disappointed, especially after learning that the son of that woman Li Zhaodi had scored 100 points in both exams. Her anger almost materialized.
She drove Chen Yi to his knees outside the door, and began to feel bad about the tuition she had given him. Would she have to continue supporting his studies next year? She had a question in her mind.
In fact, Chen Yi didn't want to read this book from the bottom of his heart. He went there late and couldn't keep up with the teacher's progress. He was much worse than others. The teacher always criticized him, which made him extremely lacking in self-confidence and had some twisted hatred in his heart.
Coupled with some recent changes in his mother, he was very scared.
After observing the villagers these days, Tian Meixue probably had an idea of who took her money.
Everyone in other families was normal, except Chen Li. She happened to hear that Chen Li was actually going on a blind date and was planning to get married after the spring.
When she thought back to that night again, the dark, tall and thin figure gradually overlapped with Chen Li.
It must be him who stole my money.
Didn’t this despicable man ask him to cheat on Li Zhaodi?
How did he know he had the money? Did he stumble upon it by accident, or did someone tell him?
Tian Meixue was a little frightened and regretted instigating Chen Li to provoke her.
Who is this Li Zhaodi? She thought, she must meet her, even if it's just to get some answers.
On the eve of Laba Festival
Tian Meixue went back to her parents' home alone, without Chen Yi.
Of course, she was not really going back to her parents' home. She was using the excuse of going back to her parents' home to go find Li Qingyun.
She hadn't been in contact with her stepmother for several years and came directly to her brother's house.
After Chen Yong died, her brother came to see her specially, so she still had some brotherly feelings.
However, seeing her sister-in-law's annoyed look, she knew that she might lose her brother in the future.
What is the purpose of life? In the end, we have to face all the ups and downs alone, and no one can accompany us for a lifetime.
She said goodbye and left her brother's house without having lunch. Seeing her sister-in-law sighing with relief, as if she had saved some food, she just found it funny.
We walked through the snow with difficulty and arrived at Gujiagou.
After asking for directions and finally arriving at Li Qingyun's house, she was already in a state of disarray. Her whole body was soaked by the light snow, and her shoes were full of water. Her physical condition and mental tension made her a little overwhelmed.
I stood at the door for a long time before I mustered up the courage to knock on it.
The woman who came out to open the door was wearing a rabbit fur cloak. She didn't have time to put on a hat. Her long black hair was draped over her shoulders, stained with a few snowflakes. Combined with her already incredibly beautiful face, she looked like a fairy from fairyland.
Tian Meixue's inferiority complex reached its peak. She almost didn't dare to look the man in the eye and almost forgot what she wanted to say.
Li Qingyun frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Tian Meixue only then realized that she had come there to ask some questions, but she was so surprised by her rival's beauty that she felt ashamed of herself.
"Aren't you going to invite me in to sit down? Do you think I've made your place dirty?" Tian Meixue said self-deprecatingly.
Li Qingyun wanted to tell her to get lost, but curiosity got the better of her. What did she want to say to him in such a cold weather? After all, this was his home turf, so why should he be afraid of her?
So she stepped aside to let her in and took her to the main room.
"Guests come and there's not even a glass of water. Is this how you treat guests?"
"Are you worthy?" Li Qingyun sneered.
