Gu Nian finally couldn't resist her sisters' pleas and went to the kitchen to cook.
Cai Xiaolian looked frustrated. She had tried her best to improve her cooking skills, but unfortunately, she just wasn't cut out for it!
Without Niannian's excellent cooking skills, her food would probably be edible, but compared to Niannian, to be honest, she wouldn't even want to eat what she makes herself.
When cooking, pay attention to a balanced intake of nutrients such as carbohydrates, protein, and fat.
She even wanted Zhang to lose weight using the basal metabolic rate method, since Zhang no longer needed to breastfeed.
Uncle Gu often said that the Gu family's appearance had been affected by Zhang Shi. Gu Nian had looked at her carefully and found that her aunt was a bit eccentric and a bit fat, but she was not ugly at all.
There's a saying that goes, "Fair skin covers a hundred flaws, but being overweight ruins everything."
However, seeing that Zhang had eaten three large bowls of mung bean porridge, Gu Nian gave up the idea.
Forget it, let's wait until she realizes she can't be fat and needs to lose weight before we talk about it!
...
In the afternoon, Gu Xin felt a bit stuffy and wondered if it was going to rain.
After finishing her own business, she called Gu Si and Gu En, took a raincoat, and went to the fields with her small bamboo basket on her back.
"Brother Yuanyuan, Auntie, I've brought you water! I saw it was going to rain heavily, and I thought you'd need the raincoats later, so I brought them too!" Gu Xin found the two of them.
The two were moving corn in the cornfield.
"Oh my! My son is so obedient and sensible! It's so good to have a son!" Zhang selectively ignored the two little girls.
Gu Xin and Gu Si are already used to it.
Gu En, however, was dissatisfied: "Mother, if Sister Xinxin hadn't called me, I wouldn't have known so much! Mother, Father is right, a daughter should be more considerate."
Zhang was taken aback. She felt that her son was becoming more and more like his father, and she felt a strong sense of unease.
Lu Zheng came out of the field carrying a large sack of corn on his back and pulled Gu Xin, who wanted to go down to the field, to the embankment: "These corn leaves are sharp and can cut people, don't go. Why don't you listen to me? I told you not to come."
Gu Xin chuckled and said, "I did listen! I haven't come because it's going to rain, right? I was worried that Brother Yuanyuan and Auntie would get wet! Hehe, Brother Yuanyuan, you can't scold me for this."
Lu Zheng smiled helplessly, took the water bottle from Gu Xin, sat down on the embankment, and then tilted his head back to drink.
What's that poem again? Who knows that every grain of rice on the plate is the result of hard work?
He truly experienced it firsthand in his lifetime.
He will definitely give a good talking-to to anyone who is picky about food or wastes food in the future.
Farming is not easy!
Gu Xin took a handkerchief and wiped Lu Zheng's chin and neck: "You've sweated so much, Yuan Yuan Ge!"
Lu Zheng awkwardly took the handkerchief and wiped himself haphazardly: "I can do it myself! You and Sisi go back quickly, this field not only scorches people, it also cuts them."
Zhang objected: "A-Yuan, all three of them are here, let them carry the corn! It's really going to rain today! You carry the corn back, and call Huihui and Niannian to come with us. Let's get it all back before it rains today, then we'll have finished harvesting the corn! We'll wait for it to dry and thresh it for seed."
“But…” Lu Zheng retorted, but was interrupted by Gu Xin.
Gu Xin said, "Brother Yuanyuan, you should go quickly! It's not like we've never been to the fields before. If it rains and we can't finish harvesting, it'll be a problem. What if it rains for days on end? That would be terrible!"
After saying that, he adjusted his straw hat and disappeared into the cornfield.
