Chapter 102: Separation!
The next morning, Shen Zhiyou was awakened by the crowing of chickens in the yard.
When I got up and saw the furnishings in the room, I was a little confused and realized that I had already gone home.
Gu Ye had gotten up without knowing when. He pushed the door open and came in with a smile on his face. "Dad brought back a grass carp, more than ten pounds. He killed the fish in the yard and is making fish cakes and fish balls. Do you want to go and have a look?"
That is to say, the harvest was good this year, and Shen Dahe and his friends had enough money to buy such a big grass carp.
The whole family was happy at the thought of having fish cakes to eat.
As far as Shen Zhiyou can remember, she only ate it twice when she was a child.
Upon hearing this, he quickly nodded: "Yes."
I turned around and saw Tuantuan and Yuanyuan had also woken up. They were lying on the bed playing by themselves and were not crying.
Shen Zhiyou smiled and hugged Tuantuan into her arms, "I'll feed them first. Please help me close the door when you go out."
Gu Ye responded, went to the kitchen, and brought in the clothes and shoes that had been dried overnight.
It was cold, damp, and snowing.
After staying outside for two days, even though it didn't rain, my clothes were still damp, heavy and not warm.
It was placed next to the earthen stove and baked overnight until it became dry and fluffy.
Wang Xiulan saw him coming to get clothes and guessed that Shen Zhiyou had woken up, so she washed her hands and said, "Youyou, you must be awake. There's still breakfast in the pot. Tell you to come and eat it quickly."
She responded and took the clothes into the house. While she was feeding the baby, Gu Ye packed up everything.
After feeding Tuantuan, Gu Ye took Tuantuan over, put clothes and shoes on the little guy, held him upright, patted him, and waited until Tuantuan finished burping before putting the little guy back on the bed and putting shoes on him.
The same goes for Yuanyuan.
This is the routine every morning. The couple is so skilled and in tune with each other that they are almost as good as the workers on the assembly line in the factory.
Get dressed.
As soon as I walked into the yard, I smelled a strong smell of fish.
Thinking of making fish cakes and fish balls for his grandson, Shen Dahe ran to buy fish before dawn.
I haven't rested for a while since I came back. Now the fish paste is mixed and put into the pot for steaming.
The fish that was just caught from the river in the morning was cooked with eggs, flour and salt, all of which were precious things. The fragrance of the fish when it was steamed in the pot was so great that Shen Zhiyou couldn't help swallowing her saliva.
Not to mention the two little ones.
Staring at the steamer.
Shen Dahe smiled and said, "It's ready. Once it's steamed, we can eat it. Let's make some fish cake and fish ball soup for lunch today. Add some cabbage leaves. I guarantee that we will all love it."
Breakfast is also the unique bean shreds here at home.
Just boil it in water, add some salt before serving, then sprinkle some garlic leaves. The soup will be salty, fragrant and thick. If you have better conditions at home, you can also cut some bacon and throw it in.
You can only eat this during the Chinese New Year.
He was reluctant to make it in previous years, but this year, knowing that Shen Zhiyou and the others were coming back to celebrate the New Year, Shen Dahe gritted his teeth and used most of the mung beans and rice that his family had saved to make this basket of bean shreds.
The reason to go home is to eat this hometown food.
Gu Ye still remembers that when he was a child, when he went to someone else's house to pay New Year's greetings, his relatives served him a small bowl of shredded beans.
At that time, he felt that the bowl of bean shreds was the most delicious food he had ever eaten.
When he ate it again today, the man ate all the garlic leaves in the bowl clean.
Shen Zhiyou had just finished the remaining half bowl of rice when there was a sudden commotion in the yard in front.
The man paused in washing dishes. Shen Zhiyou was thinking that the noise outside sounded familiar, but when she saw Gu Ye's reaction, she knew that it was his parents coming over.
"Let me do the brushing."
Gu Ye had said before that he would take care of the separation of the family when he came back this time.
We had originally planned to go over together after dinner, but who knew that Gu's mother and the others came over first.
"fine."
The man quickly washed the dishes and walked into the yard, where he saw Gu's mother, Gu Hu, Jin Fengyan and others standing in the yard talking to Chen Cuijuan and others.
Except for Gu Hu who looked unhappy, Gu's mother and Jin Fengyan all had smiles on their faces, as if nothing had happened.
"Oh, you guys are good people. My son finally came back and didn't even stay at home first. I don't know what's going on.
I thought he was your Shen family's biological son, haha, but seeing that he has such a good relationship with you, I feel relieved.
They say a son-in-law is half a son. Look, he's almost as good as a biological son. He's almost forgotten about me and his father!"
Mother Gu still spoke in her usual style.
They were smiling and it sounded like the relatives were just greeting each other.
But I felt something was wrong, and after careful consideration, I realized that it was the weird thing that Gu Ye married a wife and forgot his mother.
"What are you saying, dear? We are not outsiders, why are you still saying these things?
It was already dark when we arrived yesterday. Xiao Gu originally wanted to go back to live.
But I don’t know if the new house has been tidied up and there are no beds available, and the children are also very tired, so I just let them stay at home first. After all, there are already quilts at home, and there is no need to make room for them, right? "
When she was in the army before, Chen Cuijuan had difficulty performing and felt a little restrained.
But where is this? It’s Tuanjie Commune, her home!
Gu's mother came early in the morning and spoke in a sarcastic tone. Chen Cuijuan is not a pushover.
You said that Xiao Gu forgot his mother after he got married, so I would directly say that your family is not kind enough to occupy the new house that your daughter and son-in-law built with their own money.
The Shen family contributed a lot of money and effort to the construction of the house. They provided all the wood, and the Shen Guoqiang brother also worked for a few days.
Now my daughter’s wedding room has been occupied by someone else.
Even if Gu Ye didn't care, they couldn't swallow this!
Speaking of the house, Gu's mother's arrogance instantly subsided a lot.
Gu Hu was unhappy when he heard what Chen Cuijuan said. He was too lazy to argue with them and just shouted at the top of his voice:
"Where are the two old men? What's the point of a grown man hiding behind a woman? Let him come out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a tall figure walked out of the house.
He didn't bring extra clothes with him when he went home, so he just wore that military coat.
The military coat was not very convenient to wear, so Shen Dahe took out his largest cotton-padded jacket and gave it to him. The shoes on his feet were also the ones that Grandma Chen had crocheted for them with wool in advance, knowing that they would come back.
At first glance, the whole family was wearing the same style of woolen heel slippers, and the clothes on Gu Ye were also the ones that Shen Dahe wore before. They really looked like members of the Shen family.
Gu Hu saw it and became even more annoyed, "So you were in the room. This is the second time you came home without telling your parents. Do you still remember how to write the word filial piety?"
Compared to Gu Hu's jumping up and down, Gu Ye seemed much calmer.
He ignored Gu Hu and looked directly at Gu's mother: "Mom, I told you when I was in the army that we would separate the family when we come back this time. I was planning to go there later, but now that you are here, it's just right. Let's go together and explain the separation."
Gu Hu's angry words got stuck in his throat.
His eyes turned red and he frowned, "What? Divide the family? Are you crazy? Why are you dividing the family when mom and dad are here?"
