Chapter 29 Gift Giving

well.

Because of this child, Liu Yinyin has trouble doing many things. Otherwise, life at home wouldn't be like this.

The days are long this season, and when Gu Cheng came back, it was not completely dark yet.

Liu Yinyin heard the noise and went out.

Gu Cheng brought back a lot of food this time!

Fifty catties of flour, fifty catties of rice, one hundred catties of cornmeal, twenty catties of millet, twenty catties of buckwheat flour, twenty catties of corn grits, and twenty catties of brown rice.

Two bags of brown sugar, five catties of rapeseed oil, twenty feet of cloth, five catties of cotton, two cans of lychees, two boxes of fermented rice cakes, and a bag of small apples.

Wow, you bought so many things, you must have used up all the coupons in the house, right?

No, although Liu Yinyin had rarely used coupons to buy things, she knew that it was definitely not easy to buy so many fine grains these days.

This man must have another way to buy food.

Liu Yinyin was very surprised: "You bought so much fine grains?"

People in the countryside actually have more food than people in the city, but most of them eat coarse grains on weekdays.

One pound of rice can be exchanged for three pounds of cornmeal, but of course it is more cost-effective to fill your stomach.

After being here for so long, Liu Yinyin has become accustomed to eating coarse grains.

While moving things, Gu Cheng looked at her and said, "You are pregnant, so you should eat more fine grains."

He is not a rigid person. If conditions permit, he will naturally make sure his family eats better.

Moreover, according to custom, when Yin Yin gave birth to a child, she would have to hold a banquet to entertain guests and give steamed buns or red eggs to the villagers for good luck.

So he bought more at one time.

Gu Cheng added: "Don't worry, when I start working, I will also receive food subsidies every month, which is enough for us to eat."

Once he gets a stable job, he can receive commercial grain every month, plus his salary...it's enough to support his family.

Liu Yinyin: “…”

Having said that, why did she suddenly feel like she had found a golden thigh?

Think about the next few years.

Liu Yinyin's heart moved, and she hurriedly said, "Just buy food. Buy as much as you can. Money is not a problem."

For her, food actually gives her a greater sense of security than money.

Gu Cheng was surprised: "Not enough?"

He eats a lot, but there are only two of us in the family, so his consumption is not that high. This amount of food is definitely enough for them.

Liu Yinyin blinked and said vaguely, "I like to stock up on food. I feel safe when there is plenty of food at home."

Store more food at home, and then she can smuggle herself out of the system, and it won't be a problem for her to survive for two or three years.

But they both have families, and if there really is a famine, I can't just eat my own food and ignore them.

Gu Cheng smiled and said, "Okay."

He didn't know it yet, but his wife Liu Yinyin was about to become a crazy food hoarder.

Liu Yinyin was delighted and said, "It's a bit of an eyesore to keep so much food in the kitchen. It would be great if we had a cellar at home."

It won’t be long before the sweet potatoes at home are harvested. If there is a cellar, they can be stored for a longer time.

Gu Chengcheng said, "After the autumn harvest, I will ask my eldest brother to help dig a cellar and a well so that we can use water at home."

Liu Yinyin was so happy after hearing this, how could this man be so good!

only......

"When you start working, will you still live in the county town?" Liu Yinyin asked him. She wanted to stay in the village, so she wanted to make up for the things missing at home.

But, she remembered that Gu Cheng had said that his company would allocate him a house in the future, and it would be more convenient for him to live in the county town while working.

"Don't you want to go?" Gu Cheng asked her back.

Liu Yinyin said helplessly: "I don't want to go, but as for my parents... I haven't figured out how to tell them yet."

In fact, what she was thinking was that by then, she could live alone in the village, and Gu Cheng would live in the county town and come back during the holidays.

However, if Liu Yinyin did this, she was afraid that Jiang Cuihua and the others would blame her for being willful and ignorant.

Gu Cheng said in a relaxed tone: "If you want to live in the village, then let's live in the village. I said I can live anywhere. I'll go talk to my parents."

It’s also good to live in the village. Liu Yinyin’s parents and brothers are here and they can help if anything happens in the future.

Liu Yinyin was curious: "What do you mean? Besides, aren't you afraid of trouble if you live in the village while working?"

Although the county seat is not far away, it still takes an hour to walk there. Going back and forth like this every day is actually a waste of time.

Gu Cheng: "It's not troublesome, and it's not far. I can buy a bicycle when the time comes. It's actually quite convenient."

Bicycle!

Having a bicycle is indeed convenient.

Liu Yinyin couldn't help but smile. When Gu Cheng said he wanted to buy a bicycle, she believed he could buy it.

Gu Cheng carried the food down and piled it in the kitchen.

Liu Yinyin walked up to him with a smile, handed him a towel, and said, "Our family is well off, so you should be nicer to yourself in the future."

This man seemed to be very good to her and the child, but he himself was not particular about things. He only had two sets of shirts and vests to change into, and they were almost torn.

Gu Cheng wiped his sweat, smiled and said nothing. Men live a rough life and it is enough to have enough food to eat.

After moving the food, they had to return the cart. Gu Cheng suddenly thought of something and said to Liu Yinyin, "I'm going to return the cart to the team. You pack four things and I'll take them to my parents. I came back in a hurry last time and didn't have time to buy anything. It's not polite."

Moreover, the Liu family has taken good care of Liu Yinyin in the past few months, and it is reasonable and appropriate to show some appreciation.

Naturally, Liu Yinyin would not refuse gifts sent to her parents' home, as everyone in her family is very nice to her.

Looking at the food on the table, Liu Yinyin counted on her fingers and said, "A bag of brown sugar, a box of glutinous rice cake, plus five catties of flour and five catties of rice, how about that?"

Giving gifts and food is the most practical thing these days.

The Liu family has no shortage of coarse grains, so sending some fine grains would be helpful for Father and Mother Liu to replenish their bodies.

Although... the two old people would probably be reluctant to eat it, after all, there are several children at home, but it's enough that they have the intention.

Gu Cheng: "Anything else is fine, but keep the brown sugar. I bought it for you to eat."

Liu Yinyin said angrily: "...Then change it to two cans. I don't want this. I still have apples."

Canned food is definitely a good thing these days, no worse than brown sugar.

Gu Cheng nodded in agreement.

Liu Yinyin started to pack some food and said, "When you have time, please send some food to your parents. I... am not feeling well, so I won't go with you."

People are always kind to each other. Gu Cheng is good to her parents, so Liu Yinyin cannot favor one over the other. After all, they are his biological parents, and she has to do what she should do.

It’s the same thing, as long as they don’t live under the same roof, Liu Yinyin is willing to maintain the superficial peace.

Gu Cheng's eyes sparkled: "Okay, I'll go when I'm done."
