After Chen Xingling entered the room, he closed the wooden door.
Then, she quickly hid in the space, poured some warm water from the kettle to wash her face, and found that the frostbitten area was almost healed, and her complexion looked a little better than the previous two days.
The frostbite on my hands has mostly healed, and the chapped and broken skin has also mostly improved.
But beauty and complexion rely on persistence, and maintaining complexion also depends on good physical fitness, which cannot be achieved in a hurry.
She found a moisturizing mask in the cosmetics section and soaked it in warm water.
Afterwards, she found two strips of donkey-hide gelatin and a dozen red dates in the supplement area, washed them, and stewed them in the health pot.
Thinking that there was no meat at all in the kitchen outside, and the soup was only bland all day, it was too much suffering for my severely malnourished body, so I simply turned around and went to the cooked food area to get a roast chicken.
There are three large freezers in the deli area filled with roast chickens and grilled chickens. A rough calculation shows that there are at least a hundred of them.
Anyway, the things in the space always remain fresh, so she doesn't have to worry about them going bad. She can just come and get them whenever she wants to eat them.
Looking at the dazzling array of cooked food with all kinds of flavors, especially the hot and sour cold dishes and the bright red peppers, she couldn't help but drool.
Considering that the body's stomach is too weak and cannot eat cold food, many of the dishes on it are rare ingredients that are hard to find in the capital during winter. I can't find an excuse to deal with it, so I can only give up with a bad heart.
After leaving the space, she wrapped the roast chicken in clean oil paper and put it into the worn vegetable basket.
At that time, plastic bags were very valuable and scarce. They were almost regarded as "luxury goods" and were simply impossible for ordinary people to use in their daily lives.
Most foods are wrapped in net bags or oil paper, and cooked food is usually wrapped in oil paper.
There are some old written papers or newspapers in the vegetable market or the non-staple food market. If they can be tied with hay or straw ropes, use hay to deal with them.
Food-grade plastic bags had not yet appeared, so Chen Xingling didn't dare keep the plastic bag and quietly threw it into the trash can at the entrance of the supermarket. He only came out after making sure it was correct.
Then, she lazily lay on the bed and applied a facial mask.
After a while, Gu Miao's excited chattering could be heard from the corridor outside the door!
"Sister! Last time, my brother brought us several bundles of corn. I don't know what we can bring now. He said there are a lot of game in the mountains, and we need to use big iron forks or dig traps to catch them. When they don't have enough food, they often go up the mountain to dig out bird nests and pheasant nests. By the way, my brother said he would find a chance to catch a few wild rabbits so that we can eat them when the weather gets hot. If we can catch musk deer, we will make them into bacon and eat them slowly..."
Chen Xingling was enjoying the sticky and moist feeling of the mask, his thoughts drifting away unconsciously, thinking of the little male supporting character in the original book - Gu Yi.
Gu Yi is two years younger than Gu Qi. He is now eleven years old. He is not as handsome as Gu Qi, but he is also a very handsome guy.
Originally he was a tall, thin, and weak scholar. After going to the countryside to Pingshuo Mountain, more than fifty miles away, he worked and exercised, and in a few years he became a strong and thin young man.
It was only after he went to the countryside that Chen Xingling was brought to the Gu family by Li Ying, so she had few opportunities to interact with him.
Pingshuo Mountain is not very far away, but the road is rugged and difficult to walk on. Gu Yi can only go home a few times a year, usually during the Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival.
He is more sunny and optimistic than Gu Qi. Although he is not a talkative and cheerful person, he is polite and courteous, and treats people with kindness and courtesy.
Unlike Gu Xuan's indifference, and even less like Gu Miao's targeting of others, Gu Yi is the only person in this family besides Lao Yi that Chen Xingling has a good impression of.
Gu Yi was never idle every time he came home. He went up and down to do some repairs and did any housework he could find. He never cared about anything and never slacked off for even a moment. He was a very diligent young man.
Every time he saw Chen Xingling busying around, he would always step forward to lend a hand out of good will.
Moreover, he loved Xiaohuzi very much and would bring him interesting gadgets every time he came, some of which he bought and some of which he made himself.
Every time he came, little Tiger would stick to him and even sleep on him at night.
This year during the Dragon Boat Festival, Gu Yi stayed at home for a few days. He specially took little Huzi to the stream to swim and play in the water, and taught him how to swim step by step.
When the Mid-Autumn Festival came, Gu Yi took the little guy to the outskirts of the city to play for several days in a row. He also made him a small wooden horse and a slingshot, which are still little Huzi's favorite toys.
Xiao Huzi had no concept of "father" before, and it was all thanks to the love of his uncle that he more or less yearned for the word "father".
Although Gu Yi is good-natured and hardworking, he does not have a good ending in the original book.
The place where he went to work was a small mountain village at the foot of Pingshuo Mountain, and he went there with several young men.
Later, other young men returned to the city one after another, but Gu Yi was reluctant to apply to come back, always making excuses saying that he would wait a little longer.
It turned out that he was in love with a pretty girl in a small mountain village. He was reluctant to leave the beautiful mountain scenery there, and even more reluctant to leave his beloved girl, so he never wanted to come back.
When Li Ying learned about the situation, he was extremely angry and forced his youngest son to return to the city immediately, otherwise he would not acknowledge him as his son.
Gu Yi couldn't persuade his old mother, so he could only pack his luggage and come back angrily.
He promised the beautiful girl that he would marry her, and as soon as he settled down in the city, he would go to her parents to ask for marriage.
Things are unpredictable. Gu Yi underestimated his mother's cruelty and viciousness, and he also didn't expect that his right to choose would be almost completely lost after returning to the city.
Later, Li Ying forced him to marry a city girl, but his sweetheart married another man and left the country, and has never been heard from since.
Gu Yi was depressed and lived a lonely and miserable life for the rest of his life.
Thinking of her brother-in-law's tragic fate, Chen Xingling couldn't help but sigh inwardly and secretly scolded her worst mother-in-law.
She found herself a little hungry, so she tore off a roast chicken leg and ate it quickly, then she took a book from the bookshelf and read it leisurely.
…
Around noon, Gu Qi came with his jumping son.
Before I even walked out of the door, I saw my older sister and younger sister walking towards me from across the street, one of them had a gloomy face while the other was crying and wiping her tears.
Little Tiger stopped and widened his eyes in surprise.
"Dad! My aunt is crying!"
Gu Qi raised his eyebrows slightly, but before he could open his mouth, Gu Miao burst into tears and threw herself at him.
"Brother! Brother! Wuuwuwuwu!"
Gu Qi reached out and pressed her shoulders in time, keeping Gu Miao a foot away.
"What's wrong? Why are you crying for no reason?"
Gu Miao opened her mouth wide and started cursing: "That bastard—Ugh!"
Gu Xuan rushed up and covered her mouth with his hand, then roughly dragged his sister towards the front door of his house.
Gu Qi frowned slightly, hurriedly took his son into the house, turned around and closed the door.
"Wow! Mom! Mom!" Gu Miao shouted in grievance and flew to the backyard.
Gu Qi looked at Gu Xuan in confusion and asked, "What happened to her?"
Gu Xuan answered expressionlessly, "I met a vagrant from the Chen family at the city gate. He laughed at Gu Miao for being too fat and said that the city gate would be broken by her. Then, she started crying."
"What's there to cry about?" Gu Qi said suspiciously, "It's not the first day she has known the Chen family's vagrant, why would she bother with him?"
Gu Xuan said calmly: "I don't know either."
So the brother and sister went their separate ways.
