Regardless of whether this dream was entrusted by Mr. Wang, she decided to spend the money on doing good deeds and help her family gain more merit.
But the situation is not open yet, and she has done very little. Let's wait two years.
Gu Qinghuan tasted the xiaoxiao made by Zhong Luoxi and praised it highly. She said her cousin was always careful in her work and the small xiaoxiao she made was delicate and delicious.
After dinner, the family started to get busy again.
Today is midnight, and it is the last day for Xu Huaian and others to stay at home before leaving.
After breakfast, Gu Lanting packed up and went to the cowshed next door to help Zhong Zijun shovel cow dung and clean the cowshed. After packing up, he brought the family of three back to have lunch and play games at night.
Zhong Luoqing and Gu Qinghuan were responsible for making lunch.
Ming Ruxue took the children to have fun all over the village. Because of her money and the candies in her pocket, all the children in the village were impressed by her and followed them closely.
Xu Huaian was directed by Gu Qinghuan to deliver the things.
In the morning, Zhong Luoxi made a lot of extra steamed buns, which the family couldn’t finish, so we also had other dishes for lunch and dinner.
Gu Qinghuan asked Xu Huaian to send some gifts to Ji Linhai, Erdan's family and Xu's eldest brother respectively. There weren't many gifts, but they were just for the sake of liveliness.
By the way, Xu Huaianxiao wants to say a few words to the eldest brother of the Xu family.
Everyone mind their own business and the whole family gets busy.
As expected, these were the last two meals for Xu Huaian and his friends in Xujiatun. They would set off for Beijing early tomorrow morning.
Gu Qinghuan tried his best to feed them more good food.
The lunch menu: garlic spare ribs, pickled fish, boiled pork slices, braised pork bones, white radish and lamb offal soup, pickled cabbage, and cold shredded potatoes.
Pickled fish is a dish that the whole family likes, and it must be prepared before leaving.
There is too much wild boar meat stored in the space, and some of the meat and large bones need to be consumed.
Xu Huaian sent off the other two families and finally came to Xu Huaizhi's house.
Xu Huaizhi learned that he would leave for Beijing tomorrow, and he was filled with emotion.
"Second brother, you can rest assured. I'll help take care of your sister-in-law and two children at home." Xu Huaizhi patted his shoulder.
Xu Huai'an knew Gu Qinghuan's ability. There was no shortage of food and drink at home, so he didn't expect Xu Huaizhi to help in any substantial way.
He was worried that after he left, Xu Mingxiao and Liu Guifang would make things difficult for Gu Qinghuan, as she was the type who only reported good news and not sorrow.
So he wanted to tell Xu Huaizhi a few words: "Brother, I don't worry about anything else. I'm just worried that Mom won't make things difficult for my wife. If there's any trouble at home, please be more concerned and persuade Mom."
"That's for sure, let it go."
"Thank you, big brother. Today is the New Year's Eve. I'll give these to you and your sister-in-law."
Lin Xiaomeng took Xiaoxiao and gave him a suspicious look.
"Sister-in-law, is there anything wrong?" Xu Huaian asked puzzledly.
"Well, it's nothing. I heard from some gossipy women in the village this morning that you beat up Xu Laoer?"
Of course, that’s not all. After Xu Laoer came back yesterday, he not only spread the word that he was beaten up by Xu Huaian, but also said that Xu Huaian stole his prey.
It was said that Xu Huaian relied on being the son of the party secretary to do evil things.
Because the injuries on his body were real, everyone was talking about it and discussing whether it was true or not.
Xu Huaian didn't expect that the bastard would dare to spread the news everywhere. It seems that the beating was not enough.
"I was the one who beat him up. I set a trap and he took the prey. He refused to return it and acted like a scoundrel, so I beat him up."
There's nothing wrong with this. At worst, I can just beat him up again.
Lin Xiaomeng's eyes lit up visibly.
Good guy, Xu Huai'an finally did something very gratifying.
That bad guy Xu Laoer deserves to be beaten. Beat him to death.
"Hey, I told you not to beat people for no reason. It's right to beat them, and it's good to beat them. That kind of scum deserves to be beaten." Lin Xiaomeng's attitude has visibly improved a lot.
When Xu Huaian left, she gave back some of the red bean paste buns she had made herself.
Xu Huaizhi looked at his wife suspiciously. Why was she so enthusiastic towards Huai'an today?
Lin Xiaomeng told him about how Xu Laoer had harassed her before. Xu Huaizhi then understood the whole story and wanted to beat Xu Laoer up again right away.
Of course, he did find an opportunity to beat him later.
Lin Xiaomeng's words reminded Xu Huaian that Xu Laoer was a dishonest villain. It seemed that he had to give him a warning before leaving, otherwise it would be bad if he bullied his wife and children after he left.
Since ancient times, little devils are difficult to deal with.
Xu Huai'an secretly took note of this and returned home slowly.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhong Zijun and Zhong Weiqian came over around 11 o'clock.
When a few people came over, Gu Lanting was carrying a large backpack.
The things inside were all things the three of them were going to take away for their grandson, granddaughter, grandson-in-law, and the little girl from the Ming family.
There were the dried pheasants and rabbits that they had saved because they were reluctant to eat them during the winter, and the fish that Gu Qinghuan had given them before, which they had carefully coated with salt and smoked dry, as well as the hazelnuts, pine nuts, black fungus and other dried goods that they had saved.
Zhong Zijun has already distributed several portions equally, and everyone has one.
Gu Lanting had originally not allowed her to take it, but Zhong Zijun loved her son so much that he could not bear to reject her kindness.
It is not an empty saying that a mother worries about her son even when he is far away.
Gu Qinghuan understood, so she did not reject Zhong Zijun's kindness. Anyway, she had a lot of good things here, so she could just send them to them later.
However, when Zhong Luoqi saw this, his eyes turned red with sadness.
She didn't know how long it had been since she last felt this kind of love from her elders.
She spent the first half of her life growing up in love and never thought it was a big deal.
When people are down and out, they realize the preciousness of family affection.
The relationship between family members is more genuine and firm.
Cheng Shuying held her hand and explained word by word: "Xixi, don't cry, these are just small things.
More importantly, after returning, start over and live a good life.
I brought you up, and I believe you will be able to live your life again.
We have survived so many hardships, and everything will be smooth sailing in the future.
You see, our little Youran is now smart and lively, which is better than anything else."
Cheng Shuying did not mention those sad things, but it made Zhong Luoqing feel even worse. She finally couldn't help but throw herself into her grandmother's arms and burst into tears.
During this time, everyone accommodated her and no one mentioned her past. The three members of the Zhong family pretended not to know.
But in fact, she understood that they were taking care of her emotions.
Everyone tacitly left the main room, leaving the space for the grandparents and grandchildren.
Zhong Luoqing grew up with Cheng Shuying. With her comfort and guidance, I hope her future will be smoother.
