Gu Ranzhou thought, who doesn't know what she's thinking? She's clearly a peasant, but her ambition is as high as the sky. If her eldest son had the ability, it would be fine, but he's a hooligan, not only looking down on women from the village but also falling for women from the town. I wonder how thick-skinned she is.
After Gu Ranzhou calmed down, and was even a little happy because he had just argued with someone, he went home humming a little tune while carrying the rabbit in the basket. When he arrived at the door, he carefully opened the door and tried to make as little noise as possible. He didn't know if the two people were awake or not, and he was afraid that the noise would wake them up.
Lu Zhenchuan got enough sleep. Although the educated youth had just gone to the countryside not long ago, the autumn harvest was approaching and there was no work to do in the fields, so everyone took a break. Lu Zhenchuan did not go to the fields to work in the afternoon.
"I'm back." Although the sound of the door opening was very small, he could still hear it because of his years of martial arts practice.
"Well, I'm lucky today. I got a litter of little rabbits!" Gu Ranzhou was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the other party to get up so early.
Lu Zhenchuan was also stunned for a moment and did not expect Gu Ranzhou to answer him. After all, he was very angry for some reason when he went out. It seems that after going out, he encountered something and his mood improved.
Lu Zhenchuan: “…”
Gu Ranzhou: "I finally don't have to work this afternoon, why don't you take a break?"
"It's okay, I've slept long enough. Do you need my help?" Lu Zhenchuan couldn't sleep for too long for some reasons.
"No need, just sit there. I'll put them directly into the chicken coop. Fortunately, the chicken coop is woven densely, otherwise they would not be able to be kept in." Gu Ranzhou said as he opened the chicken coop and put the rabbits in one by one.
"I got so many rabbits back. Do you want to keep them or eat them? Raising rabbits isn't popular these days, is it?"
"Let's keep it secret for now. After all, it's so small and doesn't have much meat."
It was impossible for Lu Zhenchuan to just sit there and do nothing. Seeing him busying himself, Gu Ranzhou stood up and poured a bowl of water at the table. He handed it to Gu Ranzhou, who took it without hesitation and drank it all in one gulp. Then he handed the bowl over.
"Is An An still sleeping?"
"Well, children tend to sleep a lot. If no one wakes them up after they fall asleep, they will sleep until they wake up naturally." Lu Zhenchuan took the bowl handed to him and put it back on the table.
"Please help me wake him up. If he sleeps too long, he might not be able to sleep tonight."
"Okay. Let me help you with the cooking."
"That's fine too. We'll have lumpy noodles tonight."
Lu Zhenchuan went to wake up the little one, and Gu Ranzhou walked into the kitchen without looking back. After washing his hands, Gu Ranzhou started to light the fire and cook. Lu Zhenchuan woke up Gu Yu'an and wiped his face. It was summer and the weather was quite hot, so washing his face with ice water would cool it down and wake him up.
When Lu Zhenchuan entered the kitchen, Gu Ranzhou had already lit the fire and was boiling water, preparing to knead the dough.
"Please wash the onions and garlic for me, and wash the pot for me. I'll go knead the dough first, and then get two or three eggs from the cupboard."
"Okay." Lu Zhenchuan quickly picked and washed the green onions in a few seconds, then set up the wok and added water to wash the wok.
There is no need to knead the dough much. Gu Ranzhou can just use chopsticks to form a ball and then put it in. It saves time and effort.
Gu Ranzhou then cut a tomato, not too big. Lu Zhenchuan also prepared the onions and garlic. After completing all the steps, he immediately heated the oil in a pan and added the tomatoes over high heat.
Don't use too high a heat, just medium. Stir-fry them briefly and then use a spatula to crush the tomatoes a little so that the tomato sauce will be rich after cooking.
When you feel the tomatoes are ready, add water directly, cover and continue cooking. After cooking for a while, open the lid and pick up the dough and cut it into small balls.
Put it into the pot and cook it over medium heat.
Cook until the dumplings look smooth and float up, then add chopped green onions, salt and MSG, cook for another five or six seconds, then serve the dumpling soup, clean the pot and turn off the stove.
Gu Ranzhou glanced at Lu Zhenchuan who was standing beside him, steamed a few more buns and fried some eggs. For him and An An, a bowl of dumpling soup was enough to fill them up, but for the person in front of him, this soup would probably not only be enough to fill them up, but would at most be an appetizer.
When Lu Zhenchuan saw that the meal was ready, he carefully brought it out.
"Dad." Gu Yu'an rubbed his eyes and came out of his room. When he saw Gu Ranzhou, he threw himself into his arms.
"Let's eat."
"It's quiet today and everyone is staying at home."
After dinner, Gu Ranzhou and Lu Zhenchuan were in the kitchen together, one cleaning the stove and the other washing the dishes.
It was dark, but I could still see the road.
At that time, unlike in later times, it was rare to see stars. The stars now were very beautiful. It was July and only about a month away from the Mid-Autumn Festival, so the moon was also very bright, casting shadows on people.
In town.
A drunk man opened the door with a key, took off his shoes at the door, and staggered into the house.
There were three people in the living room. Two middle-aged men were watching TV, while a somewhat embarrassed woman sat quietly beside them. Suddenly, she heard the door open and saw the man: "You're back."
The man did not respond to the woman and did not even look at her.
Until the two middle-aged women sitting on the sofa shouted, "Son, you're back. You've worked hard at work."
The young man finally responded: "Yeah."
"Mom and Dad, I'm going back to my room first." Then he said to the woman, "What are you still standing there for?"
The woman sat on the sofa somewhat restlessly. The man seemed a little annoyed and threw his bag on the table. After looking at the woman, he pulled her back to the room. The woman seemed to dodge a little. Although the man was a little drunk, he was still conscious. He immediately realized what was happening and pulled her into the room. The other two middle-aged men watched the black and white TV as if they were used to it and pretended not to see anything.
The woman struggled, but the man still pulled her in by force. It was impossible to tell that the two were husband and wife.
"What do you mean? How dare you look down on me? It's been three years, and your belly still hasn't given me a child. I don't look down on you, but you look down on me." The words spoken by this very polite man were so disgusting.
"I didn't." The woman said a little fearfully, shaking her head. "I really didn't."
"Then what do you mean by hiding? It's been three years. Even a hen can lay eggs, but you can't." The man cursed. If he wasn't worried about his brothers and her ability to take care of his parents, he would have divorced the woman in front of him long ago.
The man pressed on her and tormented her as if to vent his anger. After he had tormented her enough, he fell asleep, leaving the woman crying. However, she did not dare to cry loudly and could only shed tears silently.
