However, later on, when there wasn't a single piece of cloth in the house specifically reserved for her to make her own clothes, she stopped being happy.
Gu Shi saw the clothes she had finished in her bicycle basket, walked over and picked them up to look at them.
"Why are they all for me and Xiaobao? Why didn't you make one for yourself?"
Lin Qingyu chuckled awkwardly and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I made it at Aunt Pang's house today, so I didn't feel comfortable taking too much."
Moreover, she hasn't even measured her own measurements yet, and the clothes haven't been cut out.
Gu Shi had obviously thought of this as well, so he pulled her into the house.
"I'll take your measurements and cut the clothes for you while I'm at it, otherwise you won't even pay attention to it yourself."
Although Gu Shi seemed like a rough man, Lin Qingyu knew this clearly after spending time with him.
Gu Shi is a very thoughtful person. He remembered that Lin Qingyu said the salt was almost gone, so he brought it back with him when he came home from work.
They could also remember that Lin Qingyu hadn't measured her own size or cut the clothes.
Lin Qingyu was truly moved by Gu Shi step by step. Why didn't she realize how good Gu Shi was in her previous life?
Seeing Gu Shi's serious expression, she couldn't help but blurt it out.
"I can't remember anything from when I was little. You must have been very observant back then!"
Gu Shi slowed down his movements for a moment, then continued measuring as if nothing had happened.
"It's alright, it's just that you forgot."
Lin Qingyu felt uneasy when she saw that he didn't want to say more.
Did something special happen when they were young? She really had no recollection of it at all.
Neither of them spoke again until Gu Shi finished taking her measurements.
Lin Qingyu made an excuse to cook and ran out, and Gu Shi did not stop her.
He sat quietly on the stool, cutting pieces of clothing.
Lin Qingyu suddenly felt a pang of sadness, as if she had done something wrong.
I lit the fire, fetched water, and once the water boiled, I added rice. I put in extra rice today, so I'm going to cook some rice.
There are very few families in the village who eat rice except for holidays and festivals.
While waiting for the food to cook, she suddenly remembered the braised pork she had eaten in the county town last time.
The chefs at the state-run restaurants were really skilled; she still thinks about the taste, which was just as good as what you get in restaurants in big cities.
Then I thought I'd make it myself! It would be good for Gu Shi to try, and Zhao Xiaobao could also have a good meal.
However, it was a bit late today, so she went to find a piece of meat, which Gu Shi had just cut back yesterday.
I don't know where he got the meat coupons, but he managed to cut off five jin (2.5 kg).
Now that the weather is hot, people usually put meat in the well, otherwise it will spoil.
She took it out and prepared it, roasting the pig skin, washing the pork, and cutting it up, just waiting to cook it tomorrow.
I had some stir-fried pork with green peppers for dinner. Lin Qingyu is a great cook; every time she cooks, my family eats an extra bowl.
During the meal, Gu Shi said he wanted to send something to Aunt Pang to express his gratitude, but Lin Qingyu said she would go instead, as she was thinking of going home.
The next morning, Lin Qingyu started making braised pork early, secretly taking some meat out of her spatial storage.
Thinking that after finishing the dish, he would send a bowl to Li Xiuhua so that she could also have a taste, since Lin Weidong was going home today.
Just as water was added to the pot and the fire was burning brightly, Lin Qingyu suddenly heard Big Yellow in the yard bark.
"Woof woof woof!"
The last time Dahuang cried out was when the worms appeared.
Lin Qingyu thought that Zhao Xiaobao was still outside, so she hurriedly ran into the yard.
As soon as she stepped outside, she saw an old man with a white beard, leaning on a cane, standing at her door, cursing.
"Lin family girl, you come out here! Who gave you the right to spread such rumors!"
Lin Qingyu frowned. The old man was the one who was an expert in pharmacology. She wondered how he had found his way here.
Zhao Xiaobao was squatting in the yard playing with Da Huang when he heard the fierce voice, so he immediately ran to Lin Qingyu.
Lin Qingyu walked over unhurriedly, holding a fire poker in her hand.
"Uncle Wang, is there something you need?"
When Grandpa Wang saw Lin Qingyu, he became even angrier and pointed at her while cursing.
"At such a young age, you're already learning bad things and talking nonsense all day long. You've ruined Wu Zhiqing's reputation. Have you no shame at all!"
It was clear that Grandpa Wang was very angry, and Lin Qingyu knew exactly what was going on. She responded calmly.
"Uncle Wang, I don't know what you're talking about. If you think I did something wrong, then show me the evidence."
Grandpa Wang was furious and wouldn't listen to Lin Qingyu's explanation, continuing to curse.
"Evidence? What other evidence do you want? Wu Zhiqing has already told me everything. It's been leaked!"
He spat and said, "At my age, I'm still being slandered by the villagers. It's simply outrageous!"
Lin Qingyu waited until Grandpa Wang had finished wailing before speaking up: "Grandpa Wang, we can't just believe whatever Educated Wu says!"
The two stood facing each other, one in the courtyard and the other outside the gate.
Although Zhao Xiaobao didn't know what Grandpa Wang was saying, he was sure it wasn't anything nice.
He's even considering going to see his uncle now, because these people are taking advantage of his uncle's absence to bully his aunt.
Before Grandpa Wang could refute her, Lin Qingyu continued, "What if I said that Wu Zhiqing spread these words herself? Would you believe me?"
"How about this, you have Wu Zhiqing come over right now to my house, and we'll confront each other and see who's wrongly accusing someone!"
While Lin Qingyu was arguing with Grandpa Wang, Zhao Xiaobao secretly ran to the doghouse and let Da Huang out.
Big Yellow hadn't been out running for a few days, and it was full of energy.
As soon as it ran out, it rushed straight to the gate, barking a few times, which startled Grandpa Wang so much that he almost tripped and fell.
Grandpa Wang was about to start cursing when Dr. He Jinhua passed by Lin Qingyu's house.
He was on his way into town to get medicine when he happened to pass by Lin Qingyu's house and saw Grandpa Wang cursing in the street.
"Hey! Isn't this Old Wang? What are you doing here bullying a young girl? Did Wu, the educated youth, send you here?"
He was carrying a bag and started talking to Grandpa Wang, one sentence after another.
The two of them didn't get along when they were young, and Grandpa Wang was clearly afraid of Doctor He, so he immediately stopped talking.
Grandpa Wang stammered, "It's you, Lao He. I... I'm fine, I'll be going now, I'll be going now."
He left immediately after saying that. Lin Qingyu hadn't expected that this old man Wang was so afraid of Doctor He.
She smiled at Dr. He and said, "Dr. He, let me pour you a bowl of water to quench your thirst. Thank you for earlier!"
Lin Qingyu ran to pour water, while Zhao Xiaobao pulled Da Huang along, watching Doctor He through the gate.
"Little boy, where's your uncle?"
"My uncle went to fetch water, he'll be back in a little while."
Dr. He then asked, "Why don't you go to school?"
Zhao Xiaobao immediately lowered his head, feeling somewhat sad.
