"Got it, Dad." Gu Mingtao nodded, carried the food back home, put it on the table in the living room, changed his clothes and went to work in the fields.
"Brother, have you bought food? How much did you buy?" Gu Minghe saw his brother coming to work, so he came up to him and asked.
"I didn't buy it." Gu Mingtao was very disappointed with his third brother, so he shook his head and said
"How come you didn't buy it?" Gu Minghe asked in surprise.
He also wanted them to buy more. If something really happened, he could borrow more. After all, brothers are connected by blood. Could they really watch him starve to death?
"You can't buy it without food coupons." Gu Mingtao said, and then lowered his head to work, not looking at the greed in the eyes of this man.
Gu Minghe curled his lips when he saw his elder brother like that, and when he saw the scorer coming, he hurried back to his own field and concentrated on his work.
After work in the evening, several people took turns to cook. Gu Minghai walked into the main room with his bowl of rice and ate while saying, "I have ordered the food, but it is only more than 300 kilograms. Let's go and bring it back after dark."
"Okay, your mother and I will take 50 kilograms, and you two brothers can share the rest." Old Man Gu nodded and said
"Then I'll go back first. After dinner, I'll go get the food with my brother." After Gu Minghai finished speaking, he walked into the yard with the bowl in his hand. When he saw the person eavesdropping at the door, his face instantly darkened.
"Brother, have you bought food? How much did you buy? Do you need my help?" Gu Minghe saw that his brother looked unhappy and said with a smile.
"How much grain I bought has nothing to do with you, and don't come to my house to borrow from me in the future." Gu Minghai said in a deep voice and pushed the door open.
"Old woman, when the food comes back, we will hide ours. We will eat it together in the future. No one else can lend it to us." Old man Gu heard the conversation between his two sons in the yard and sighed.
"Dahe is our son after all. If something happens in the future, we can't really refuse to lend him money. Can you just watch them starve?" Lin Dacui also heard the noise in the yard.
But these are my own sons. I am ashamed to see them. If any of them are not doing well, I will feel bad.
"If he doesn't listen and doesn't want to spend money to buy food, then don't ask us for money. I still want to live a few more years." After finishing his meal, the old man Gu put down his bowl and chopsticks, squatted at the door and started smoking a pipe.
"Alas, it's all my fault." Lin Dacui finished her last bite of food, shook her head, cleared the table, and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
It was past eight o'clock in the evening and it was getting dark. Gu Minghai went to the brigade to borrow an ox cart. He took Gu Mingtao to fetch the food and quietly carried it back to the house. He felt relieved only after returning the ox cart.
"Boss, I saw that my eldest and second brothers carried three sacks of food." Liu Xiaocao opened the door a little, looked outside and saw that there was no movement, then turned around and said
"That's just a little bit of food. It can only last for a few days. How stingy!" Gu Minghe snorted when he heard this.
"Dad and the eldest and second brothers are really something. They took the fourth brother's telegram seriously. It's really ridiculous." Liu Xiaocao took off her clothes and got on the kang, crawling into the quilt and said
"I don't know if they are making trouble or not, but you should go back to your parents' home tomorrow and get the money back so that I can buy some food." Gu Minghe said with his eyes wide open when he heard this.
"Oh, my mother said she'll pay it back in two years. Don't worry about it all the time. It's better to have a son." When Liu Xiaocao heard that she was going back to her mother's house, she didn't want to change the subject.
"Don't tell me anything else. Hurry up tomorrow... um~" Before Gu Minghe finished speaking, he felt a hand moving and groaned.
Liu Xiaocao looked up and saw that the two girls were asleep, so she sat on her husband and took advantage of the night to have a son.
