Cooking in such a hot day would make her daughter-in-law tired, and she would feel bad. Besides, she was not lying. In their Gu family, it was a tradition for men to cook.
Usually, the meals at home are cooked by Gu's father. Yes, he has to rush home to cook after work, but Gu's father enjoys doing it and has been doing it for decades.
In Gu's father's opinion, it's all worth it. As long as his daughter-in-law is happy, it's okay to walk him around like a dog.
Father Gu took over the conversation with a smile: "Shushu, I can do it. It's a good opportunity for you to taste my cooking skills."
"Uncle Gu, I'll do it." Jiang Yunshu understood that it was unreasonable to cook for guests.
Just as the two were arguing about who should cook, Chen Fengying and her daughter Du Piaoliang came over, holding freshly cooked corn noodles in their hands.
Chen Fengying said, "It's fresh out of the pot. I was afraid it would be too hot, so I rinsed it with cold water. I don't know if you guys will be able to eat it."
Mother Gu took the bowl of noodles from her hand and said gratefully, "These noodles look delicious, big sister, thank you."
Chen Fengying said, "It's too formal to say thank you. Jiang Zhiqing is young and her family is not around. I usually treat her like my own daughter. Now that you are here, I am happier than anyone else."
As soon as these words were spoken, the looks of the three members of the Gu family towards Chen Fengying immediately changed. Mother Gu held Chen Fengying's hand, and words of gratitude kept coming out of her mouth.
In the end, the shy Du Piaoliang couldn't stand it anymore and hurriedly pulled Chen Fengying home.
The three members of the Gu family ate up all the noodles that Chen Fengying and her daughter brought them. Gu's father took the clean bowls of the three people to the kitchen to wash them, and planned to return them tomorrow.
At this time, it was already very late at night. The elderly Grandma Gu could not hold on any longer and kept yawning. Seeing this, Jiang Yunshu quickly made the bed and let Grandma Gu and Mother Gu rest.
As for where Gu's father would sleep tonight, it was still a problem. Jiang Yunshu only had one room and one bed, and there was no extra room for Gu's father to sleep.
Mr. Gu came all the way here, he couldn't possibly let him sleep in the kitchen. That would be too much of a bully. Jiang Yunshu wouldn't do that.
Seeing Jiang Yunshu in a dilemma, Father Gu said considerately, "Shushu, you guys go to sleep. I'll go to sleep in the pavilion outside. It's cool at night."
"Uncle Gu, please wait for me at home. I'll be back soon." Jiang Yunshu said and left.
Gu's father and mother were worried that something had happened to their daughter-in-law, so they hurried after her. When they went out, they saw their daughter-in-law knocking on the door of the neighbor's house next door.
Father Gu said embarrassedly: "Shushu, don't bother with that. I can just sleep in the pavilion."
"It's not a problem at all. You know this person." Jiang Yunshu had just finished speaking when the door in front of them opened.
Mother Gu saw the person in front of her clearly and exclaimed, "Wan Xinyu, the kid from the Wan family, you live here too."
Wan Xinyu, who had just woken up and was still a little dazed, was startled when he heard someone calling him. But when he saw who was in front of him, his face wrinkled like a bitter gourd.
After all, he had said bad things about their son behind his back before, and they caught him on the spot, so it would still be a bit awkward to meet him again.
Although it happened several years ago, he just couldn't forget it.
"Aunt Yang, Uncle Gu." Wan Xinyu greeted the two with a bitter look.
Mother Gu said, "Wan Xinyu, you look very unwelcoming to us."
"Aunt Yang, that's not true. I wish you would come every day so that I can see you every day." Wan Xinyu, who couldn't afford to offend anyone, could only flatter her madly.
"real?"
“Truer than a brick.”
"Okay, I'll leave your Uncle Gu to you." After saying this, Mother Gu took Jiang Yunshu's hand and went back without caring whether Wan Xinyu was willing or not.
In the end, Wan Xinyu had no choice but to take the unwanted Gu father back home to sleep.
But when he saw the room as messy as a pigsty, Gu's father couldn't hold it in any longer. He picked up the broom and rag and started to work. Even Wan Xinyu, who was extremely sleepy, was pulled to help clean the room.
After cleaning the room and taking a shower, it was almost dawn outside. For Wan Xinyu who still had to work during the day, the most important thing now was to get a good night's sleep as soon as possible.
The Jiang family on the other side.
Mother Gu, who was sleeping next to Jiang Yunshu, was reluctant to close her eyes, fearing that her daughter-in-law would run away when she woke up. After an unknown amount of time, she fell into a deep sleep, unable to resist the sleepiness.
The next day, when Jiang Yunshu woke up, she found that the person next to her was gone. She quickly got up from the bed, put on her clothes and went outside to wash up.
Mother Gu said, "Shushu, why are you awake so early? Did we disturb you?"
Jiang Yunshu replied, "You didn't disturb me. I'm just used to it. I usually work at this time."
Hearing this, the three members of the Gu family looked at Jiang Yunshu with distressed eyes. She really suffered in this countryside.
Seeing their expressions, Jiang Yunshu knew they had misunderstood, and quickly explained, "Everyone got up so early, the weather is cool, and it won't be too hot to work."
But the more Jiang Yunshu explained, the darker it became. In the eyes of the three members of the Gu family, Jiang Yunshu had suffered a lot.
Mother Gu, who felt sorry for her daughter-in-law, took advantage of Jiang Yunshu's time to wash her face and discussed with her: "Shushu, come back to Jing City with us. We and Jiuyan are worried about you staying here alone."
"Aunt Gu, I don't want to go back to Beijing for the time being."
"If Shushu doesn't want to go back, then we won't go back. When you want to go back, tell Aunt Gu and she will make the arrangements."
As long as you have a job, you can go back to the city. Although it is hard to find a job now, you can buy one with money. As long as you are willing to spend money, you will not have to worry about not having a job. Spending money on your daughter-in-law will make Gu's mother happy.
"Thank you, Aunt Gu."
Father Gu got up early to prepare breakfast, including hot millet porridge, a few egg pancakes, and two appetizers.
Wan Xinyu was also called home for dinner.
The small dining table at Jiang's house was full of people. Mother Gu rolled up a pancake and handed it to Jiang Yunshu: "Shushu, try your uncle's cooking."
"Thank you, Aunt Gu." Jiang Yunshu took a bite and gave a thumbs up, praising it for being delicious. Father Gu was so flattered that he couldn't stop smiling.
After dinner, Jiang Yunshu and Wan Xinyu went to work. Grandma Gu, who didn't want to be separated from her granddaughter-in-law, went with them. As for Gu's father and mother, after cleaning up the kitchen, they rode their bikes to the county.
In addition to returning the car, the two also had to buy some things.
At the beginning, after learning that their daughter-in-law was in trouble, they immediately bought tickets and came here without having time to prepare anything. Now that they know their daughter-in-law is fine, they have to prepare everything.
All necessary etiquette must be observed.
Grandma Gu didn't expect to see an old acquaintance in this remote place, and she was so excited that tears came to her eyes.
Sun Chengde also recognized Grandma Gu: "Wanzhi, I didn't expect to see you again in this life. How is that old guy, Old Gu? He's still in good health, right?"
