"Also, is it your turn to do this?"
In Gu Hong's case, as long as there is a man at home, women will never be allowed to lift a finger for heavy work!
"My late husband left behind three children. If I continue to act weak, they will suffer. Of course, I will do everything for them."
Seeing that Shen Ningsi had already carried a bag of rice while talking, Gu Hong pursed his lips. It was rare for him to remain silent.
When he left, Shen Ningsi was still a woman with a slightly dull temperament. After not seeing her for more than half a year, the woman in front of him had been reborn and seemed to be glowing.
But Gu Hong knew that this was because no one was protecting her, and Shen Ningsi could only be her own light.
Grabbing the rice that Shen Ningsi had put on his shoulders with great effort and moving it into the house, Gu Hong whispered, “You have suffered.”
He could hold hundreds of pounds of things in his hands, but he could still walk as fast as the wind, which shows his brute strength.
Shen Ningsi was slightly stunned and quickly said: "The room where the sundries are stored is on the right!"
"I know!"
Gu Hong passed by the main room and stuck his head in. "What are you standing there for? Help your father move the rice!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Gu Xiuwen brothers ran out quickly and followed Gu Hong's footsteps.
Shen Ningsi, who was standing there, looked at the scene in surprise. She was not surprised that Wen'er was sensible, but how could Wu'er, who never listened to anyone's orders, be so obedient?
In the utility room, Gu Xiuwu glanced at Shen Ningsi in the yard.
Gu Xiuwu followed Gu Hong's gaze and asked hesitantly, "Dad, when will you be back?"
"Wait until she recognizes me!" Gu Hong said angrily, "I haven't dealt with you yet. How can you two brothers be sons? You need a woman to move things?"
"Ouch!" Gu Xiuwu cried out softly as his ear was grabbed. "Normally, we only have a bag of rice at home. Why would we need someone to move it? My brother and I have never let Mom suffer before!"
Hearing this, Gu Hong loosened his fingers suspiciously. He warned, "You'd better not let me know that you bullied her."
Gu Xiuwu felt a little guilty, so he quickly changed the subject.
"Dad, I think it's going to be extremely difficult for you to make Mom remember your identity."
He began to gloat over his misfortune as he spoke, "Mom just told us that you are not a good person and told us to be careful of you!"
Gu Xiuwen looked at his brother plucking the hair from the tiger's tail, sighed and turned around. The next moment, a muffled groan came from behind him.
"It's a great day for your father to meet her, don't force me to do anything!"
Gu Xiuwu covered his forehead, feeling angry but unable to speak. "Hasn't he already started fighting? Why is he still pretending to be so polite?"
Gu Hong casually used a hand towel to flick the dust off his body. "Women don't love men unless they are bad. Do you understand? Your mother thinks I'm bad now, but soon she will fall in love with me again!"
He raised his eyebrows confidently, "Believe it or not, if I go out now and say I'm hungry, she will cook for me?"
Gu Xiuwu nodded, "I believe it!"
Gu Hong walked out with a swaying step. "I've unloaded all the food for you. How are you going to reward me?"
He thought about it, and was a little worried that Shen Ningsi wouldn't understand his hidden meaning, so he just said directly, "I'm a little hungry, when are you guys going to have dinner?"
"I'll do it later. Thank you for your help, General. I won't see you off." Shen Ningsi opened the door quickly as if he was being chased by a wolf, "Please come in, General!"
The corners of Gu Hong's mouth, which were slightly raised, gradually flattened when Shen Ningsi avoided his sight.
"Didn't you notice that your family has more disaster relief food than others?"
All his rations were brought here! Isn't it just for a hot meal?!
Shen Ningsi smiled and said, "Master Fan said that I had a part in pacifying Black Cloud Village. Perhaps Master Fan is kind-hearted and allocated more money?"
“…” Gu Hong was speechless.
Listening to the laughter coming from the utility room behind him, Gu Hong slowly counted on his fingers, and each word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
"Okay, some people are waiting for me!"
"I'm leaving now!"
Looking at Gu Hong's back without even turning back, Shen Ningsi breathed a sigh of relief, finally getting rid of this lunatic.
With the food in place, Shen Ningsi was finally able to show off her cooking skills, and the family fell asleep after a hearty meal.
The next morning, Gu Xiuwen felt that he was the first one to get up.
During the six months that Gu Hong was away, he was the little adult in the family. All the big and small things in the family fell on Gu Xiuwen alone. He got up early as usual to chop some firewood to cook porridge, but was stunned the moment he pushed the door open.
Shen Ningsi was only wearing a thin coat, with her sleeves rolled up to make it easier to work. She was stirring the pot with a soup spoon that was thicker than her wrist. The rising white mist made her face look softer.
Hearing the noise, Ana Shen didn't even raise her head, "Wen'er, go wake them up for breakfast."
"oh."
Gu Xiuwen didn't know how he managed to do what Shen Ningsi arranged. He only came to his senses after being pushed by Gu Xiuwu.
"Brother, you're speechless, aren't you? Yesterday, I believed that Mom could turn dried beans into food. You were the only one who didn't believe me. Now that you've seen Mom's ability, do you admit your mistake?"
Gu Xiuwen stared at the rough porcelain bowl with a missing hole in front of him for a long time.
The bowl contained something like rice porridge, dotted with thin, transparent strips of roots. Gu Xiuwen picked one out and put it in his mouth. The crispy taste drove away all the sleepiness in the early morning.
Gu Xiuwen had never eaten anything like this before.
“Bang!”
Shen Ningsi tapped the back of Gu Xiuwu's hand lightly with the tip of the chopsticks, "A family talks about admitting mistakes or not, it's normal for your brother to doubt me."
Shen Ningsi explained: "This thing is called bean sprouts. As long as you put the beans in clean water and let them stand overnight, these roots will grow. They are refreshing and thirst-quenching, and the effect of relieving summer heat is very good."
As she spoke, she lowered her eyes, a hint of helplessness in her eyes. "As you can see, this needs to be grown in water. Even if it's delicious, most people in Wanning Village are reluctant to use precious water to grow something that can't even feed themselves."
She also felt sorry for the children who were taken to Heiyun Village and frightened, so she let them try this.
By the time his son finished speaking, several children who had never eaten this kind of food had already swallowed all the soup in a daze. Gu Yuner even touched her stomach and opened her little mouth to burp.
Gu Xiuwen put down his bowl and chopsticks, "How did mother know about this vegetable?"
Ana Shen smiled with some pride, she was a doctor of agriculture.
"You'll see more vegetables in the future. Bean sprouts are just for fun. The most important thing is to find something that can fill your stomach."
Shen Ningsi saw it yesterday that someone was selling vegetables that were difficult to grow at the market.
Shen Ningsi decided to go and see if there were any corn, potatoes or something like that. Only these things could change the current situation of starving people in Wanning Village.
