At Zhulinpo, Liang Mantang had just left when Liang Xiaoman came over from the other side.
She secretly followed Liang Mantang out after work, but she didn't expect that Liang Mantang was looking for Gu Anyang.
Seeing Liang Mantang, who usually ordered her around at home, being as fawning as a stray dog in front of Gu Anyang, Liang Xiaoman's heart began beating faster and faster, and she was shaking with excitement.
It's him! She must marry him. Gu Anyang's family background is not only better than hers, but he can also make Liang Mantang so afraid and wary. When she arrives at the Gu family, she won't have to look at the family's eyes anymore, and the family will have to pamper her.
Liang Xiaoman, with blushing cheeks, ran to the place where Gu Anyang would pass by on his way home.
Seeing Gu Anyang approaching, Liang Xiaoman took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to stand up.
She frowned, put her hands in front of her, intertwined her fingers, and whispered, "Gu Anyang, I have something to tell you." After that, she looked at Liu Da again.
Liu Dagang raised his foot to leave, glanced at Gu Anyang, and found that Gu Anyang didn't say anything, so he put his foot down again.
Gu Anyang glanced at her and said, "If you have anything to say, we can talk about it when we get to work. It's not convenient now."
Liang Xiaoman looked anxious, "It's inconvenient when you're at work, so I'll only delay you for two minutes now."
Gu Anyang: "It was inconvenient when we were at work, and it's even more inconvenient now. Let's go first."
After saying that, without waiting for Liang Xiaoman's reaction, he walked around her and left.
Liang Xiaoman looked at his ruthless footsteps, her face as colorful as a palette.
Didn't Song, the matchmaker at the village entrance, say that it's easy for a woman to pursue a man? Why doesn't it work for her?
It must be Chen Qiangwei, it's all her fault! Gu Anyang hadn't been so indifferent to her before, but ever since Chen Qiangwei came, Gu Anyang's attitude towards her had become distant.
Liang Xiaoman stomped her feet angrily and blamed Chen Qiangwei for the humiliation.
Gu Anyang and Liu Da did not go back, but took advantage of the lunch break to go up the mountain to look for wild game. The two were veterans, having been wandering around the mountains since they were young. When they were young, they climbed trees to take bird eggs, and when they grew up, they caught pheasants and rabbits.
Although there is not much game in the mountains, sometimes if you are lucky you can catch a rabbit or a pheasant.
They were lucky today. When they thought their trip was in vain, the two of them caught a wild rabbit together. It weighed about four kilograms and was an adult rabbit.
Gu Anyang held the rabbit and looked at Liu Da: "Do you want to share the meat or take the money?"
Liu Da smiled innocently and said, "I want money."
Gu Anyang gave Liu Da one dollar and sixty cents without saying a word.
Rabbit is different from pork. The fat is not only delicious and satisfying, but also can be used to make oil. The price is 75 cents per pound, and you need a meat ticket. On the black market, pork without a ticket costs 1.2 yuan per pound.
The price of wild rabbit is lower than pork. It can be sold for about 80 cents per pound on the black market. Gu Anyang and Liu Da each got half. Liu Da didn't want the rabbit meat, so Gu Anyang bought the other half at the black market price.
Although Liu Da appears to be honest and simple, he has his own plans in mind. His parents value his eldest brother and love his youngest brother. He is in the middle and is not loved by his parents, so he is treated better than his second sister.
My eldest brother has high standards and he chose his current sister-in-law after much selection. Her parents asked for a high bride price and emptied their family savings for my eldest brother's marriage.
He is only two years younger than his eldest brother and is about to reach the age to get married, although his parents said that the family should work together to save money for his marriage in three to five years.
But in his opinion, it is uncertain. After his eldest brother gets married, he will probably have a child in a year or two. At that time, he will have to spend money everywhere. His parents will definitely take care of his eldest brother and grandson first. His younger brother is young and it is too early for him to get married. By the time he grows up, the family will probably have recovered.
He is a mediocre guy with no money. How can he find a girl from a good family?
Because he was not valued by his family, Liu Da had to make plans for himself. He had been looking for wild game with Gu Anyang. Most of the time he chose to take the money, and only when he was extremely greedy would he ask for some meat to satisfy his craving.
Of course, he didn't ask for much meat. He secretly roasted it over a fire in the mountains and ate it. As for taking it home, that was impossible. If he took it home, he would not be praised or recognized, but would be blamed for why he only had this much and whether he had stolen the rest.
Gu Anyang had no way to interfere with his uncle's family's actions, but he would help Liu Da as long as he could.
After work in the afternoon, Gu Anyang couldn't help himself and wrapped one of his hind legs in paper and went to Gu Sannai's house.
Gu Anyang said to Liu Jinhua, "I'm sending this hind leg to Third Grandma. I won't be eating it at home tonight."
Liu Jinhua nodded and said, "Go ahead. Your third grandmother told me about you yesterday."
Wang Zhaodi complained about Gu Anyang's behavior. Of course, she only dared to complain in her heart. If she dared to say it out loud, Gu Aiguo would be the first to disagree.
Gu Anyang arrived before he even showed up, "Third Grandma, I'm here to see you."
Gu Sannai smiled like a chrysanthemum and opened the door for Gu Anyang. Seeing the paper bag in his hand, she said, "Xiaowu is here. Why are you bringing something again? Take it back. I have plenty of food here."
Gu Anyang whispered, "Third Grandma, please let me go in first. It would be bad if others saw it."
While they were talking, two groups of people walked past the door. Gu Sannai had no choice but to turn sideways to let Gu Anyang in.
Gu Anyang opened the paper package to reveal the rabbit legs. "There are still many at home. I was lucky enough to catch a rabbit in the mountains at noon. I brought some rabbit meat to improve your diet."
Third Grandma took the rabbit meat and said, "Stay here tonight and eat with us, otherwise this rabbit leg will be gone."
Gu Anyang was secretly delighted. "Okay, I haven't had dinner with you for a long time. I'll have a meal at your place tonight."
Gu Sannai was in a good mood: "Maizi, wash the rice and cook. We'll have white rice tonight. I'll pay for the rice."
"Oh, okay."
Gu Anyang consciously washed the rabbit legs and cut them into small pieces. Although he was favored, he was not spoiled. He could do general housework, and washing and cutting vegetables were no problem, but he definitely couldn't cook.
In Liu Jinhua's dictionary, the kitchen is a woman's place, and cooking is a woman's job.
The fact that Gu Anyang could wash and cut vegetables was already her biggest concession. If he dared to go into the kitchen to learn how to cook, she would faint in front of him.
Chen Qiangwei smiled when she saw him holding the bowl in confusion. "Comrade Gu Anyang, bring the rabbit meat in. I'll cook it."
Well, it's time to eat meat again. It's not enough to just eat the meat brought by others. The two pieces of sausages that Sister Xiang Hong gave me last time have not been touched yet. Chen Qiangwei took out one piece, cut it into thin slices, put it in a bowl, and steamed it in the rice when the rice is almost cooked. The taste is amazing.
Wang Xiaomai saw that everyone had brought out their goodies. After a moment's thought, she said to Chen Qiangwei, "Sister Weiwei, I'll buy three eggs from you and we can make tomato egg drop soup."
Chen Qiangwei agreed with a smile, "Sure, there's rice, vegetables, and soup. I wouldn't trade it for a day like this even for a god."
Chen Qiangwei didn't make any promises and said that the eggs were free and were hers.
Although Wang Xiaomai is young, she has self-esteem and is a good person. She has no reason to interfere with other people's character and growth based on what she thinks is good for others.
Sure enough, Wang Xiaomai smiled happily after hearing what Chen Qiangwei said.
Gu Anyang volunteered: "Comrade Chen Qiangwei, let me light the fire for you."
