Puff, Gu Zhenqi pierced her finger with the needle in her hand because of her anxiety.
"What's wrong with your stomach?"
She didn't care about her hands and asked He Shu hurriedly.
Seeing the blood beads on her fingers, Rui Duo and He Shu's expressions froze in an instant.
"My stomach is fine, it just hurts when I laugh. Your hand?" He Shu said stiffly.
I know it's because I was too startled.
"Wow... Mom's hand is bleeding."
Ruiduo quickly took out her handkerchief to wipe her tears, and she cried with heartache.
He Shu came forward to coax her: "Good boy, Ruiduo, don't cry, it's your aunt's fault, let me sew a beautiful sandbag for you so that your mother can have a rest!"
Ruiduo sniffed, put her mouth close, and imitated Gu Zhenqi's usual way of helping her... Huhu: "Mom, does it hurt? Ruiduo Huhu, blow the pain away!"
To liven up the atmosphere, He Shu imitated Rui Duo and said, "Zhen Qi, is it painful? Fly away in pain."
"Go away, that's so corny!" Gu Zhenqi laughed.
When Ruiduo saw her mother smile, she stopped crying.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly improved!
…
At dinner
Gu Dazhu and his two brothers were still drunk and were sleeping soundly in their rooms, each covered with a quilt.
Without the three of them at the dinner table, there were only two old men left, and they couldn't afford to drink.
The atmosphere was less lively but more cozy, and we finally had some free time to chat about family matters.
"Chen Kuo, is your mother in good health? Tell her to come over to our house when she's free!" Qu Ru picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his bowl, saying casually.
"Thank you, Mom. I'll bring her there. My mother would be happy to come." Chen Kuo said with a smile.
"How long do you plan to stay this time? When are you leaving? You won't be gone for several years again. Although our Zhenqi is generous, our family will definitely not agree if you want to wait any longer." Wu Xiuxiu said directly.
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone at the table, except Gu Zhenqi and her mother and daughter, looked at him.
"No, I have applied for a housing unit for military families, and the housing will be allocated to me soon. I will take the three of them with me."
"That's not bad. She finally got her wish. If it weren't for you..."
"Well, eat quickly. Chen Kuo, eat more. Don't be polite in your own home!" Qu Ru stopped Lu Jia from speaking.
"We are both men, and as a person who has been through it, I still have to say that no matter how big the things you do, nothing can make you feel at ease like having a wife, children and a warm bed!
My daughter is very good, she is our treasure in the family, you must treat her well and know how to cherish her," said Gu Jianguo.
"Dad, I've got it in mind. I will!"
"A man's word is his bond. He should keep his word."
During a meal, everyone can express what is on their mind through delicious food.
Qu Ru was still busy as usual, clearing the dishes, washing the dishes, cleaning the kitchen, boiling water, and heating the kang.
In the yard, Fei'an played with his father in the afternoon, but he was still not satisfied, so he dragged his sister and cousin to the yard to play shuttlecock after dinner.
After finishing her work and coming out of the kitchen, Qu Ru saw a happy scene of the whole family.
She called out to the crowd, "Anyone want some popcorn?"
Gu Tiantian, Fei'an, and Ruiduo ran towards her.
"I eat."
"I want to eat."
"I want to eat."
She grabbed the three little ones and held them in her arms.
"Okay, eat them all. I'll ask your grandpa to pop some for you, otherwise he'll go out and make popcorn to earn money tomorrow."
"Mom, why is my dad back in the popcorn business? Didn't he say last year that his eyes were uncomfortable due to the burning heat, so they stopped him from doing it?" Gu Zhenqi said.
"He can't sit still and doesn't want his skills to go to waste. Look, there are villagers who want to spend ten yuan to learn his skills of making popcorn husks and popcorn, but he refuses to teach!"
"How about I try to persuade him?"
"It's no use, he's just an old stubborn donkey!"
Then he shouted inside: "Gu Jianguo, come out and pop corn for the children!"
"Hey, here I come!"
When he brought out the blackened machine, the children became extremely interested in this new thing.
Qu Ru was happy to see that she divided the work among the three little ones.
"Ruiduo, you and sister Tiantian, go get the corn and rice. Fei'an, you go find corn pulp and pine needles. Remember to get the foreign matches from the stove."
"Okay, grandma, grandma!"
"Okay, grandma!"
Rui Duo pulled her mother and sister Tiantian together.
Fei'an called his father.
Half an hour later...
