Li Jianxing has known Gu Zhenxing for many years, so he naturally knows about his family affairs.
A family produced three soldiers, some of whom were high-ranking officials in the army. This was a big deal not only in their commune, but also in the entire county and city.
Looking at Gu Zhenxing’s happy expression, he is at the age of Tsinghua University.
Li Jianxing also guessed Gu Qingbei's identity.
"Is this your nephew who's in the army? He's quite a handsome fellow."
As he said this, he burst into laughter.
Jiang Mengxue was really afraid that he would say something like, "I have a daughter at home."
Fortunately, many people knew about their marriage.
So Li Jianxing naturally knew about Gu Qingbei's marriage.
I just didn’t expect it to be Jiang Mengxue.
At this time, Gu Qingbei also came out.
"Uncle, come home with Auntie for dinner tonight. My uncle and auntie are already cooking at home. I'm coming to pick up Xiaoxue."
Jiang Mengxue stayed and waited for the accountant of the Front Street Brigade to come and settle the bill before leaving.
Several people spent a total of eight or nine dollars.
It wasn't expensive actually, mainly because it involved anesthetic powder and stitches.
If it's just a simple bandage, it only costs a few cents.
Fortunately, the accountant of the Front Street Brigade did not argue with her about this, otherwise it would be very troublesome to explain.
After the people from the front street team had handled the situation, they drove the ox cart back.
According to Li Jianxing, there is still a lot to do when he returns.
Just the fact that these people were fighting and causing trouble and were injured so badly is not going to let it go easily.
When they returned home, Gu Zhenjiang was lighting a fire in front of the pot, and Wang Daya was helping Li Cuiying chop meat and cook.
Li Cuiying spent a lot of money and took out all the meat, eggs and vegetables in the house that she liked.
Jiang Mengxue ran to the backyard pen, took a look, patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Er Niang did not get so excited that she stewed the only goose in the family.
Seeing how anxious she was, Gu Qingbei followed her over and laughed out loud knowing what she was thinking.
"What are you thinking? There's so much meat hanging in the house, why would we need to kill chickens and geese?"
Jiang Mengxue thought about it and it made sense. She had at least a dozen dried chickens and rabbits at home.
Also, Dahei had caught a medium-sized wild boar before, and left twenty or thirty kilograms of meat at home.
I just pickled a pig leg.
Originally, Li Cuiying wanted to give the whole pork leg to Luan Huiying.
But now that Gu Qingbei is back, Li Cuiying no longer wants to get anyone else, so she stews them all in the pot to nourish Gu Qingbei.
Even though Gu Qingbei is not thin, his body is full of muscular muscles.
But in Li Cuiying's eyes, Gu Qingbei was as thin as a monkey.
Jiang Mengxue watched as pots of food were brought to the table.
Even Dahei has one.
There is a food bowl specially for him at home. Every time Li Cuiying prepares a dish, she serves a portion to Dahei first.
It’s all thanks to Dahei that we have all the meat we eat at home.
Gu Qingbei was playing with Dahei in the yard, and Dahei was always sticking to Gu Qingbei's feet.
Wang Daya, who was washing vegetables by the well, was very surprised by the scene.
"It was the first time that Dahei saw Xiaobei being so clingy. If you didn't know, you would think that Dahei was raised by Xiaobei."
Jiang Mengxue paused while washing her hands.
But I think she probably just said it casually.
No one would have thought that Dahei was indeed very familiar with Gu Qingbei.
Gu Qingbei eats in the space and always feeds Dahei.
Compared with the raw meat and dog food that Jiang Mengxue fed, human food is of course more delicious.
This also led to Dahei's special enthusiasm for Gu Qingbei.
Finally, the last dish was served and we could eat.
A pot of rabbit meat braised with dried radish, and a pot of chicken braised with beans.
There is also a serving of stir-fried ham with green peppers.
The rest are some vegetarian dishes, all picked from the family garden.
This is the first time I have cooked rabbit meat at home.
I don’t know whether it is true that pregnant women should not eat rabbit meat.
Anyway, the Gu family has never done this.
This time, Li Cuiying chopped two directly and placed them in front of several big men, asking them to pair them with wine.
The further Jiang Mengxue got into her pregnancy, the less she cared about meat.
Instead, I want to eat some vegetarian food, such as pickled tomatoes with sugar, raw cucumbers, and stir-fried beans and eggplant.
Especially the stewed eggplant is very soft and can be eaten with rice.
Or scrambled eggs with tomatoes and rice.
They are all Jiang Mengxue’s favorites.
Li Cuiying knew Jiang Mengxue's current taste, so she specially fried a few vegetarian dishes that she liked and made rice separately.
Others still ate steamed bread and flatbread.
Taking advantage of this time, Gu Zhenxing remembered to ask Gu Qingbei.
"Why did you come back so suddenly? You didn't even write a letter or send a telegram in advance.
Did you come back by yourself after getting off the train? You should go find your brother and have him take you back, it’s such a long way.”
Gu Qingbei didn't eat well on the train.
The food on the train is just average and can only fill your stomach.
There are so many people in the carriage and it is difficult to take food from the space.
The weather was too hot and we didn't prepare in advance.
Seeing that he was almost home, Gu Qingbei endured the pain all the way back.
There were not many people on the road from the commune to home, so I took a few buns from the space to fill my stomach.
I'm so hungry now.
After hearing Gu Zhenxing's question, he quickly swallowed the food in the bowl before answering.
“I came back in a hurry, so I didn’t write back.
Halfway through the journey, I happened to meet my second uncle riding his bike home, and we came back together."
It would be a coincidence that he would die.
On the way back from sending Gu Meifeng home, Gu Zhenjiang happened to meet Gu Qingbei walking home with a bag on his back.
Li Cuiying kept picking up dishes for Gu Qingbei and Jiang Mengxue.
"Good to be back. I just talked to Xiaoxue about it this afternoon. I didn't know if you would come.
How long can you stay at home? Xiaoxue has given birth and is in confinement, so you have to be at home, right? "
Li Cuiying asked this question very unconfidently.
Last time, I left halfway through my vacation.
It won’t be like this again this time, right?
Jiang Mengxue also looked at Gu Qingbei curiously.
Normally, soldiers only have about ten to twenty days of vacation a year.
Gu Qingbei came back for almost a month last year.
That was after many years of not having a vacation, and my boss specifically approved it.
But it is definitely not possible this year.
It takes quite a while to go back and forth, so I probably can't stay there for a few days.
But unexpectedly, Gu Qingbei's answer was beyond Jiang Mengxue's expectations.
"I'll leave after my wife has given birth and finished her confinement."
Gu Qingbei had been planning this vacation for a long time.
When the two were getting married, he left with just one telegram.
He was not with his wife during her pregnancy for more than half a year.
So I tried my best to be able to be by my side during the delivery period.
Of course, the process was difficult, and I made unequal deals with others.
Gu Qingbei even took out a lot of delicious food from the space to bribe his comrades.
It’s just so that someone can cover his shift so that he can come back and stay longer.
But Jiang Mengxue didn't know all this.
Gu Qingbei didn't plan to say it.
