As soon as the Gu family returned home, they immediately saw Chen Xuanxuan wearing a thick and wide new dress.
Although they had already noticed that there were bug eyes on the dress, and when they got closer, they could smell a strong moldy smell. However, Gu Yanzhang still felt that his eyes lit up.
Hey, my daughter-in-law looks so beautiful in this dress.
However, Gu Yu'an and Yu Xiangxiang actually had different ideas.
After they looked at each other quickly, they couldn't help but ask, "Daughter-in-law, your clothes are still very beautiful. Did anyone come here today?"
Before Chen Xuanxuan could answer, her two daughters, Gu Daya and Gu Erya, couldn't help but say, "Grandpa and grandma, our uncle came here today!"
"Besides, our uncle also sent us a lot of food. There are so many!"
When the old couple Gu Yu'an and Yu Xiangxiang heard this, they immediately understood that the winter clothes on their daughter-in-law should have been given by her brother who was a peddler! When they thought about the fact that
their daughter-in-law's family had sent a lot of good things recently, Gu Yu'an and Yu Xiangxiang felt a little short of breath.
The couple never dared to say anything big in front of their daughter-in-law. They would never deliberately look down on her or bully her.
After all, who in this area doesn't know that my daughter-in-law's mother, Old Lady Liu, was a powerful figure in the past?
Thinking that Old Lady Liu must have saved a lot of good things when she was young, Gu Yu'an narrowed his eyes and smiled at Chen Xuanxuan eagerly, "Daughter-in-law, don't stand in the wind, come in quickly."
"We will take care of all the things in this family. You have been tired all day today, you should go and have a rest..."
Seeing that her cheap parents-in-law were very polite to her, Chen Xuanxuan smiled at that time.
"Father-in-law, my elder brother did come today, and he brought a lot of good things."
"In order to entertain him, I scooped two spoonfuls of fish soup for him, and asked him to take it back to my mother's house, and let my mother taste my cooking skills..."
Gu Yu'an and Yu Xiangxiang listened and nodded repeatedly, "This is what we should do, what we should do..."
"Your elder brother is here, we should treat him well. Isn't it just one or two spoonfuls of fish soup? The fish we caught from the river beach is not worth much. It can't compare with the food he sent..."
Smelling the rich aroma of taro, Gu Yu'an couldn't help but take a deep breath.
The smell was really too strong, especially fragrant. It was so fragrant that the gluttonous worms in his mouth ran out.
Noticing that everyone in the family was very hungry, Chen Xuanxuan personally prepared meals for them.
The taro porridge and the leftover hot pot spicy fish from the morning made everyone sweat on their foreheads.
Their whole bodies began to feel hot.
"Wife, the meal you cooked is so delicious!"
Gu Yanzhang ate three bowls in a row, and he still felt that he had not had enough.
After eating and drinking, Gu Yanzhang took Gu Dazhu and washed the pots, bowls and chopsticks.
There were no entertainment activities at night in ancient times.
In addition, they had done too much work all day and were too tired. After Gu Yanzhang and Gu Dazhu washed their heads, faces, hands and feet, they wanted to go back to the house to sleep.
However, before they went back to the house, Chen Xuanxuan stopped them.
"Wait a minute, I have something else for you to do!"
Gu Yanzhang asked curiously, "What?"
Chen Xuanxuan did not answer directly, but asked first, "How did you get so many snails?"
Gu Yanzhang: "Wife, when we went to the beach for the second time today, we found that there were so many people there. I felt that people from the five nearby villages seemed to have all come here..."
Chen Xuanxuan was particularly surprised when she heard this.
"The five nearby villages? How many people are there?"
Gu Yanzhang thought for a moment and answered seriously, "Wife, there are quite a lot of people in the five villages. There were about seven or eight hundred people digging and looking for things on the river beach at that time. I could catch three or four fish at first, but later, there were no fish."
"I thought, anyway, river clams, snails, water snakes, frogs, loaches, eels and so on, all have meat on them and can be eaten, so we didn't pick and choose. Whatever we can catch, we just put it in the basket..."
"There are the most snails on this river beach. Wife, don't underestimate these snails. In a few days, these few snails in the river will be caught by those people in the village!"
Hearing him say this, Chen Xuanxuan nodded immediately.
Come on, it's better to have some than nothing.
Although she didn't like snail meat,
if it was processed well, it might be made into a delicious side dish.
So Chen Xuanxuan said to Gu Yanzhang, "Let's put all these things in a bucket. Add some water to it and keep them there first. When they have vomited out all the mud and sand in their stomachs, I will use them to cook."
After hearing this, Gu Yanzhang hurriedly took his eldest son out, took a few large wooden barrels at home, and went to fetch water.
After they left, Chen Xuanxuan returned to the bedroom and slept directly on the straw pile on the ground.
Even though she was wearing a gray down coat in the snow, Chen Xuanxuan still felt the cold air on the ground blowing on her body.
When Chen Xuanxuan was half asleep and half awake, she suddenly felt a warm stove next to her.
So she couldn't help but move over and hugged him tightly.
Gu Yanzhang, who had finished his work, found that his wife was trying hard to get into his arms, so he hugged her without hesitation.
The clothes his wife was wearing were so warm...
Just as Gu Yanzhang was daydreaming, he fell asleep in a daze.
...
Chen Xuanxuan got up early in the morning, and she reflexively opened the Qionghehe app.
First, she clicked on the cash red envelope, and then clicked on the one to receive gold coins.
Chen Xuanxuan was quite happy when she found that her cash red envelopes had accumulated to more than two yuan.
Thinking of making some snacks tomorrow and asking her elder brother to help her sell the snail meat, Chen Xuanxuan bought three things without hesitation.
The first thing was a seasoning packet with 12 spices.
The second thing was a curtain she had wanted to buy for a long time.
This curtain is 0.5×1.5. It is a typical trial product. Moreover, it is made of gray twill linen.
It looks a bit ugly, and the material does not feel as soft as cotton. However, buying this for one cent is still a good deal.
