The brother and sister looked up at Gu Wanwan with admiration, "Gu Wanwan is our cousin. With her around, we will never go hungry again, and we don't have to cut grass for pigs to earn work points."
Seeing that Gu Wanwan didn't seem to be joking, the two elders became even more confused, "Wanwan, who are they?"
Gu Wanwan nodded seriously, "Although there is no evidence, I figured it out. Gu Qingtang is my aunt for the time being."
The Pei couple were also shocked. They didn't expect that Gu Wanwan had such a close relationship with the siblings.
Gu Changcheng couldn't help but sigh at the magic of fate, which allowed the separated relatives to reunite in Xiangyang Village. "My husband and I originally wanted to adopt Qingtang as our goddaughter. Those people who sent us down here certainly didn't expect that this would actually help us reunite."
Shen Qinghao suddenly realized, "I should have thought of it earlier. These two children have the surname Shen, so they are most likely the grandchildren of my brother and sister-in-law, the children of my nephew. According to seniority, your mother should call me aunt, and you siblings should call me aunt..."
Suddenly, there were two more relatives and elders. The brother and sister were overjoyed and said, "Grandma, Grandpa!"
Shen Qinghao wiped away her tears, "Okay, okay, dear children, your father is definitely not a Chen Shimei who abandoned his wife and children. Don't listen to what Gu Po said. I watched your father grow up. He is a good man who stands tall and upright. Your father didn't come back. I guess he is on a mission because he is a soldier who protects the country."
The siblings' eyes sparkled when they heard this. The grievances that had been pent up in their hearts seemed to have disappeared, replaced by full pride and ecstasy. They said proudly, "Dad is great. Dad didn't abandon us."
"Nianyu wants to be a soldier like his father in the future!"
Gu Changcheng hugged Shen Nianyu lovingly, "Where is your mother?"
Shen Nianyu said truthfully, “Mom went to Qingshan Brigade.”
Everyone was shocked, and Shen Qing asked anxiously, "Why did your mother go to the wolf den in Qingshan Village? Is it dangerous?"
Shen Zhitian shook her head. "Aunt, it's okay. Mom has been to Qingshan Village many times. The villagers all know that Mom is Li Xiuhong's sister-in-law, so they dare not stop Mom. Because Li Xiuhong often ordered Mom to go to Qingshan Village to deliver things to her family, Mom is very familiar with Qingshan Village."
After Gu Wanwan and the other two delivered the pig feed, they went back to prepare lunch.
I didn’t buy any meat today, so I’ll just have a simple meal of instant noodles.
The noodles were prepared by Gu Wanwan in advance from the space. She changed the packaging into oil paper, boiled water and put the noodles in to cook. She put poached eggs and ham in the noodles. Everyone had a big bowl and ate it deliciously.
No one doesn’t like instant noodles. The brother and sister had never eaten instant noodles before, so after finishing the meal, they asked their dear cousin for a bowl.
"Following Sister Wan, I can eat meat. I like instant noodles, and the method is very simple. I can make it myself." Zheng Shican slurped the noodles, almost dizzy with the fragrance, "And ham sausage, the taste is different from Chinese sausage, it goes perfectly with instant noodles."
"Eat as much as you can. As much as you can eat." Gu Wanwan waved her hand generously, "Let's buy some ingredients and make more some other time. If you don't want to cook, just make a packet of it."
Zheng Shican's cheeks were puffy, as cute as a little squirrel. "Wanwan is the boss. All my belongings are with you anyway, you can spend them as you like."
Hu Zhiming was well aware of the give-and-take of human relationships, and he immediately offered to pay the money and the tickets, and would not take advantage of Sister Wan for nothing.
The educated youths returned to the educated youth camp after work. They were already growling with hunger, but they saw no one in the kitchen to cook. When they saw Gu Wanwan and the others enjoying themselves, Yao Ruihui exploded on the spot. "Today it's Gan Qi and Liang Xin's turn. Where are they? Where did they go? Do they want to starve us to death?"
Seeing the empty round table, Xiong Zhiyuan's face suddenly darkened.
Hu Pandi raised her hand weakly, "It seems they have asked for leave to go to the commune. What should we do now? We have to go back to work before they come back to cook."
The male educated youths were so angry that they had nowhere to vent their anger. "Female educated youths, please cook first. We are all starving."
Niu Kairui and other old educated youth were so angry that they couldn't contain themselves. "Everyone has their work arranged, one group takes turns a day, why should we help Liang Xin and the others cook? We won't do it..."
Xiong Zhiyuan simply ignored it and said, "Then just starve!"
Hu Pandi smelled the aroma of instant noodles and shamelessly approached Gu Wanwan, "Gu Zhiqing, what kind of noodles are you eating? They smell so good. There's still so much left in the pot. Can you share some with the other Zhiqing?"
Yao Ruihui had been craving for food for a long time. Gu Wanwan and the other two cooked different dishes every day, unlike them who only had sorghum rice and boiled vegetables. She began to regret letting Gu Wanwan and the other two cook separately. If they hadn't broken up, they could have had some meat. "Gu Zhiqing, we allow you to come back and eat with us. We don't mind if you eat more. It's so lively when everyone eats together."
This sounded as if allowing Gu Wanwan and the other two to come back and join them was a gift to them.
Gu Wanwan glanced at her and said, "I refuse to let anyone take advantage of me."
Yao Ruihui persisted in persuading them, "Even if we split up, we can still be together as a family, let alone living together again. You won't have to cook every day and can relax."
Gu Wanwan mercilessly exposed her thoughts, "Cooking is a very enjoyable thing. We don't feel it's hard. We eat whatever we like. It's our ability to eat meat every day. You can't envy us. You talk in a high-sounding way, but aren't you just lazy and greedy?"
Zheng Shican rolled his eyes. "It's better for the three of us to eat meat than for a group of people to fight with us for meat. Do you think we are fools? If you want to blame someone, blame Gan Qi and Liang Xin. They must have bought a lot of things when they went to the commune. Maybe they will buy meat for your meal today."
Yao Ruihui knew that there was no hope of finding a partner, so she could only settle for the next best thing and hope that Gan Qi and Liang Xin would return with a full load, preferably by packing up some braised pork from a state-owned restaurant.
