Chapter 218 I want Shuanzi to live in our house
"Big brother, you must not forget about the second brother. The pheasants and rabbits we hunt are not worth much anyway, so just give them to the second brother and the others.
I usually go out for a walk. Although I am old and can no longer hunt big prey, I can still hunt pheasants and rabbits.
Your mother and I can’t finish it, so you can give it to the second brother and the others when the time comes.
Apart from anything else, Shuanzi and Zhiwen can also benefit from it.” Gu Chongshan said as he walked.
"Well, I know. When I go back, I'll ask Cuihua to dig bamboo shoots. When the mountain products are ripe, I'll ask her to get more and give them all to the second brother." Gu Nian was also thinking in his mind what to get for Gu Bei in the future.
The reason why he agreed to give Gu Beiduo those things was also to make Shuanzi's life better.
After all, the child is living alone outside with someone else, even if it is his uncle's house, there will definitely be a gap.
He brought more things over, hoping that Gu Bei and Li Ying would treat Shuanzi better for the sake of the things.
Did he really not know Gu Bei’s little plan?
It’s just that when you are under someone’s roof, you have to bow your head, and sometimes you have to pay something in order to achieve something.
Gu Chongshan and Gu Nian hurried back to report the good news, and they also had to prepare luggage for Shuanzi overnight.
Here, Gu Bei saw Gu Chongshan and Gu Nian off, and happily took the cured chicken, rabbit and meat to the kitchen and hung them up.
Gu Nian was very generous this time and took three cured chickens, two cured rabbits, and three pieces of bacon.
And the bacon is not small, each piece weighs about two pounds.
Looking at the greasy bacon, Gu Bei swallowed his saliva greedily. They hadn't tasted meat for some time.
He was fine. Although he didn't get much meat at the restaurant at noon, it was still oily and juicy.
But Li Yingdi and Zhiwen are not like that. What can we say about Li Yingdi? As long as she doesn't encounter problems with her family, she is usually very reliable.
She is working very hard to save money now, because Zhiwen will need a lot of money if he wants to take the imperial examination.
So she lived a very frugal life and usually didn't want to buy meat.
Even if she buys a little sometimes, it is to increase the nutrition for the child, but she won't take a single bite.
Gu Nian sent so much meat to our home today, so let’s indulge ourselves and fry some bacon in the evening.
Gu Bei thought about it and cut off a small piece of bacon, about three or two taels.
Now I’m just waiting for Li Yingdi to come back and cook.
I don’t know what happened today, why did Li Yingdi come back so late?
Just when Gu Bei wanted to go out to greet Li Yingdi, Li Yingdi came back.
"Why are you so late today? I was just about to go out to pick you up." Gu Bei sat back down when he saw Li Wanqing coming back.
"Well, my father sprained his ankle and can't go out to work in the fields. I have no choice but to help him plant the sweet potato seedlings in the fields with my sister." Li Yingdi explained as he sat down and patted his lower back.
Her waist ached badly from bending over to plant sweet potatoes all day.
"You and your sister did it, but what about your brother? He didn't do it?" Gu Bei was dissatisfied with Li Yingdi for being so concerned about her mother's family.
"He and his wife went to his father-in-law's house, and his father-in-law's family was also planting sweet potatoes today.
The couple went back to help early in the morning," said Li Yingdi.
"Your family is really good. The daughter goes home to help with the housework, but the son goes to work at his father-in-law's house.
Your parents treat a son like this like a treasure. I really don't know what you are thinking." Gu Bei said dissatisfiedly.
"Well, isn't my brother in poor health? My sister and I have always been kind to him since he was young.
The same goes for the housework: it's all done by the two of us and our parents, for fear of tiring him out." Li Yingdi has become accustomed to it.
"When working at home, he's not healthy and afraid of getting tired, but when working at his father-in-law's house, he's not tired?
You guys are just going to spoil him, right? You'll have a hard time in the future." Gu Bei looked down on his brother-in-law.
"We never spoiled him. It's a fact that my brother has been in poor health since he was young. I still remember what he looked like when he was a child.
You don’t know how embarrassed my parents would be in front of my uncles if it weren’t for my brother.
By then I was old enough to remember things, and I clearly remember them calling my father a "widowless" and saying that no one would care about him after he died.
My grandparents were not happy with us either. We were the most bullied family in the family, and my cousins bullied me and my sister.
Later, my mother gritted her teeth and gave birth to my younger brother, and only then could we hold our heads up high at home.
My mother has always told my sister and me that it was because of my brother that we could have enough food to eat and were not bullied.
Let us be good to our brother, so that he will support us in the future." Li Yingdi kept on rambling and brought out her mother's words again.
"Okay, your brother is backing you up all day? Besides asking you for money, what else has he done to support you?
I warn you, I know exactly how much money we have at home, and it's all saved for my son's education.
If you give it to your brother, don't blame me for turning against you." Gu Bei said impatiently.
"I know. I have saved all the money at home. It is enough for Zhiwen to study." Li Yingdi said.
"That's fine. Go and cook. Zhiwen should be back soon." Gu Bei said after looking at the sky outside.
"That's true. I'll go right away." After saying that, Li Yingdi walked out.
"Wow, where did the bacon come from? Husband, where did the bacon come from at home?" Li Yingdi saw the bacon on the chopping board as soon as she entered the kitchen.
"Oh, that's it. My father and elder brother came today, and this is what they brought." Gu Bei also followed him into the kitchen.
"Why did Dad and the others come to town for no reason? Did they catch some big prey again?" Li Yingdi said.
"No, he came here specially to deliver things to us. Not only bacon, but also cured chicken and rabbit. I hung them on the beams." Gu Bei said, pointing to the roof.
"Did they bring all this? Why did they suddenly give us so much meat? Did they need something?"
Li Ying was delighted to see so many cured chickens and rabbits, but she also wondered if they had some ulterior motive.
Gu Bei nodded. This matter could not be concealed. After all, Shuanzi would be here tomorrow.
"Well, these things were brought by my eldest brother. He wanted Shuanzi to go to town to study." Gu Bei said.
"If you want to study, just go ahead and study. What does it have to do with us? Do you want Zhiwen to take care of Shuanzi?" Li Yingdi didn't understand why he had to send them things just because his son was studying.
Gu Yan didn't expect that even after he said that, Li Yingdi, this silly woman, still didn't understand what he meant.
"Brother means to let Shuanzi live in our house in the future. Zhiwen is also studying, so the two of them will have company." Gu Yan could only make it clearer.
