Chapter 55 From now on, I and my children will love you together
Shen Zhiyou saw that the situation was not good, and quickly grabbed Gu Ye's arm: "What do you want to do? You don't want to eat eggs anymore?"
Gu Ye paused and said, yes.
"I was in such a hurry to get home today that I didn't buy any meat. I'm going to the cafeteria to buy some meat and vegetables. Please wait for a moment."
After saying that, he ran away without even waiting for Shen Zhiyou to call him!
We went there a little late, so there weren't many dishes left in the cafeteria. But we were lucky, as both meat dishes were still available.
I ordered an omelette with green peppers, a serving of braised pork, and a portion of rice.
The lady serving food in the cafeteria saw that he had ordered all meat dishes, and asked as she served him food: "Captain Gu, you have guests coming to your house today, so you are serving all meat dishes."
"no."
Gu Ye was about to say that his lover was pregnant, but then he remembered that Shen Zhiyou had specifically told him not to spread the news in the first three months, so he kept his mouth shut.
The aunt in the cafeteria had long known that Captain Gu was a man of few words, so it was not surprising.
I gave him a full bowl of food.
When I got back, Shen Zhiyou was boiling water and had washed the dishes.
When Gu Ye comes back, we can eat it right away.
Today, both dishes were not spicy, and Shen Zhiyou was very hungry, so she ate them with extra relish.
Gu Ye continued to pick up meat for her.
Nowadays, people prefer to eat fatty meat rather than dry lean meat.
Fatty meat is good, it’s greasy and nourishing.
But Shen Zhiyou has never liked to eat much. Even when eating braised pork, she prefers to eat the leaner ones.
Gu Ye watched her only eat the bad and lean meat, his brows almost knitted into a ball, and he kept putting meat into her bowl, "Eat more, there is no malted milk in the supply and marketing center today, I'll ask Xiao He to bring back two bottles tomorrow, and you can drink one cup every day from now on."
This is all for her own good, so Shen Zhiyou naturally has no objection.
In addition to malted milk, I also asked Xiao He to help bring some sugar and peach cakes.
It’s different now than before. I’m at home every day and can always get something to eat when I’m hungry.
I have to go to school to work during the day, so I must bring some food with me. If I feel hungry during breaks, I can go back to the office to eat something.
Shen Zhiyou said yes to everything.
Gu Ye was relieved to see that she was so obedient.
When he asked her to exercise, for every sentence he said, Shen Zhiyou would reply with three sentences. She was scared of him.
Now that she didn't talk back, Gu Ye felt flattered.
Gu Ye had eaten half of the meal and couldn't eat anymore. He finished the rest of the meal, then cleared the dishes and swept the house. He also took in the clothes that were hung out to dry before going out in the morning.
Shen Zhiyou took out stationery and a pen and began to write a letter, intending to tell Chen Cuijuan and Gu Ye's family the good news.
In the letter to Chen Cuijuan, he first told Chen Cuijuan that he had become a teacher and could earn more than 20 yuan a month.
Later, she told Chen Cuijuan that she was pregnant and went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said that her health was very good and the pregnancy would be smooth.
Ahem, then I told Chen Cuijuan that I missed home-cooked food recently and had finished eating all the pickles I brought with me. I was looking forward to going home to eat my mother’s cooking next time.
After finishing it, I started writing and sending it to Gu's mother and others.
She also talked about becoming a teacher and getting pregnant.
But he didn’t mention his salary income.
After finishing writing, he turned to look at Gu Ye who was tidying up beside him, "I'm writing a letter to my parents, do you have anything else to add?"
Gu Ye walked over, picked up the letter and read it.
"It's good, there's nothing else to add."
In the past, when he sent letters home, he would just tell them that everything was fine and that they didn't need to worry about him, and then he would put some money in the envelope, and that was it.
However, the letters sent by Gu's mother and others would contain some information about family matters.
For example, his eldest sister-in-law gave birth again, and he had a new nephew.
When Gu Ye saw this, he would send a little more money in his reply, saying it was money to buy food for his two nephews.
I only went back twice, and both times I brought things and left money for home.
This time the two of them came here to move and buy household items, as well as to cover their daily expenses.
Now Youyou is also pregnant.
He just did a rough calculation. Raising a child definitely costs money, and it will cost more money if Youyou is pregnant than before.
After thinking about it, he added that since Youyou was pregnant and they would have a child, their expenses would increase, so he would not send money home this time.
Shen Zhiyou looked at the conflicted expression on the man's face.
Suddenly I felt a little sad.
She hugged his waist, snuggled up to the man, and patted his back: "We will have a child soon. When the time comes, not only will I be there, but the child will also love and treat you well."
Gu Ye froze.
He turned his head slowly, "What did you just say?"
Shen Zhiyou blinked and repeated what she had just said.
She has been pampered by Shen Dahe and Chen Cuijuan since she was a child.
Although the eldest brother had his own thoughts after getting married, he and his younger brothers had nothing to say about him. He was better than most of the brothers in their production team.
Shen Zhiyou, who grew up in such a family, is not at all stingy in expressing her love.
And they also think that they deserve other people's kindness to them.
Just like after they came here, Gu Ye treated her better and better, and Shen Zhiyou didn't think there was anything wrong.
It's obvious that he likes me very much. It's normal to be nice to people he likes, right?
So she accepted Gu Ye's kindness to her calmly, and was also good to Gu Ye in her own way.
These two points are exactly what Gu Ye, the second child in the family, lacks.
Gu Ye's throat suddenly felt dry. He looked away and after a while, he uttered a muffled "hmm".
No matter what happens, he will definitely treat his and Youyou's children equally.
Although they didn't send any money, they still sent back some local specialties.
Dried peppercorns and chili peppers, and a kind of candy here made from peanuts called peanut crisps, which Shen Zhiyou quite likes to eat.
When the package was sent back, Chen Cuijuan was making chili peppers.
The peppers are ripe this month, and every household is busy making chili sauce.
One jar is enough for a whole year. Even those from families with better financial conditions like Chen Cuijuan have to make two jars.
This year, Chen Cuijuan did more than in previous years.
I plan to send it to Shen Zhiyou and the others after it’s done.
Just as I was thinking about it, Shen Zhiyou's letter arrived.
Chen Cuijuan subconsciously planned to let Tiedan read it to her.
But when she thought of what happened last time, Chen Cuijuan felt a headache and she waited until Shen Dahe came back before she opened the package.
Everyone in the family was guarding Shen Zhiyou's package.
When she opened it, she saw dried peppercorns and dried chili peppers. Chen Cuijuan said they were good.
They cooked and ate what Shen Zhiyou sent back last time. Needless to say, dishes cooked with these two things taste extra delicious!
It was just that the first time Chen Cuijuan did it, she didn’t control the amount well.
The whole family's buttocks were burning with pain for several days.
Now seeing these two things again, they were greedy and their butts seemed to start to ache again.
