"I'll bring a sickle!" said Chen Kuo.
Gu Zhenqi frowned. She believed Chen Kuo's words about snowing, because when she woke up in the morning, the weather was obviously gloomier, the temperature dropped sharply, and she could feel the moisture in the air.
Thinking of what he said about the snow not being too light, it meant that it was dangerous to go up the mountain. There were no shortage of wild boars, rabbits, and pheasants in her space. She had even miraculously discovered one a few days ago.
The space seems to have been upgraded, and the time it takes for crops and fruits to mature has been shortened to 45 days.
The animals in the space give birth to cubs every three months. As a result, the supplies in her space increased exponentially.
She really had everything she needed, and she didn't want Chen Kuo to take the risk. However, she couldn't tell Chen Kuo about the space yet.
The two of them were not familiar with each other, let alone knew each other well, but she could vaguely guess the nature of Chen Kuo's job.
Given his awe-inspiring righteousness, if she told the truth, she might be arrested as an alien.
Thinking of this, she could only find the most common excuse: "There is enough food at home. You just came back, so stay at home and spend some time with the three of us. Besides, Ruiduo and Fei'an seem a little afraid of you, so you should put them first!"
"It won't take too long to go up the mountain. I'll be back soon and get some meat for you three!"
Chen Kuo’s idea is very simple. He owes them too much and always wants to give them the best with the limited time.
Going up the mountain is no big deal for him. In recent years, he has been to many places with harsh environments and had the most contact with mountains.
He often slept in the open air, and in order to fill his stomach and take care of his companions, he developed a good hunting skill.
It can be said that as long as he sets his eyes on the prey, he will get it.
Gu Zhenqi naturally didn't know all this. Due to the special nature of her job, it had to be kept strictly confidential. Even though she was his daughter-in-law, this was also stipulated in the confidentiality agreement they signed.
At this moment, she was immersed in his words "Get some meat for you three mothers". Only in this difficult time when people were starving, could one understand the weight of these words!
Her eyes were slightly warm, and there was a hint of admiration in her eyes as she looked at Chen Kuo.
He possesses the best qualities of a man: responsibility and accountability! She was proud that she could marry a man like him who cared about his country and was upright and upright!
Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, Chen Kuo added: "Don't worry, going into the mountains is not a big deal for me. If I am more..."
Having said this, he paused urgently, as saying it out loud would only increase her worries.
Even if he didn't say it, Gu Zhenqi could guess it.
"Be careful and take care of yourself in the future. Remember, we still have you to take care of!"
After Gu Zhenqi finished speaking, she carried the prepared breakfast and walked straight out of the kitchen.
Chen Kuo, who stayed in the kitchen, had a deeper look in his eyes.
"Why are you standing there like an idiot? Hurry up and have breakfast!"
Wang Guiying, who came in from the kitchen with the remaining breakfast, pushed him.
Chen Kuo came to his senses and took the large bowl of buns from Wang Guiying's hand.
"No need. Go get me some bowls and chopsticks. Come and eat. Why are you standing there in a daze, you grown man?"
…
It was too cold that day, and the floor table had long been turned into a kang table. The whole family sat around the warm kang.
It was too dark last night and no one had time to take a close look at Chen Kuo. Now they were eating and chatting.
"Third brother, I haven't seen you for three years. You have become stronger. When I stand next to you, you look like a little chicken!"
"Ha ha……"
As soon as Chen Guo finished speaking, there was a burst of joyful laughter.
"Hehe... Big Brother, if you say that, then what am I, a chicken without a rupture?"
"Pah!"
Wang Guiying hit Chen Qiang and said angrily: "What are you talking about? If you were a chick that hadn't hatched from its shell, I would have crushed you into pieces."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qiang suddenly felt wronged, and a very incongruous expression appeared on his face: "Mom, am I really your biological child? How can a biological mother dislike her own son so much?"
Wang Guiying rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily: "No, I picked you up from the garbage dump."
As he said that, he picked up a bun and stuffed it directly into Chen Qiang's mouth, blocking him from saying anything.
"Eat quickly, the big buns can't keep your mouth shut!"
"Hmm, hmm..."
Others just thought that his current appearance was funny and couldn't help laughing.
Halfway through the meal, Chen Kuo suddenly spoke without warning: "Mom, it's cold now, you can't just let my wife get up to make breakfast in the morning. It's the off-season now, and there's nothing to do at home or outside. Just two meals a day, just treat it as exercise. Otherwise, your body will be lazy all winter, and you won't be able to work hard during the busy farming season. You also know that my wife was injured when she gave birth to twins, and she can't stand the cold in the morning!"
"Besides, Ruiduo and Fei'an are too young. It's hard enough for her to take care of them all by herself. It's really too much work for her to take care of the food for the whole family."
He turned around and glanced at Gu Zhenqi: "Look, you've become so thin because of all the work she's done to you."
Hearing Chen Kuo say this, the people at the table looked at each other, and everyone saw surprise on each other's faces.
"Third brother, you misunderstood. It was Zhenqi..."
"You're right. Starting tomorrow, our family will take turns cooking. It's not a hard job anyway. It's too hard for Zhenqi to take care of the child alone. Ge Yun, Fan Chun, you have nothing to do all day, so please help take care of the child!"
Wang Guiying interrupted Ge Yun and secretly winked at the two of them while speaking.
As experienced people, the two of them immediately understood the mother-in-law's meaning.
"Third brother, you are right, my sister-in-law and I will cook the meal!"
When they heard that the cook had been changed, the faces of the two brothers Chen Guo and Chen Qiang, and the two siblings Chen Xiao and Chen Zhizhi, immediately fell, as if endless darkness was beckoning at them.
"What's with that expression on your face?" Wang Guiying sneered.
"Grandma, I have a look of despair on my face, can't you see that?"
