Chapter 53: Don't ask for meat
Gu Mei pursed her lips, drooped her face, and looked very ugly.
After a while, she said stiffly, "Grandma asked Lai An to go to his aunt's house. It's getting dark now, and he hasn't come back yet. Unfortunately, there isn't much porridge cooked today, and grandma didn't ask to leave some rice for him. Please give Lai An some rice so that he won't be hungry when he comes back."
"It's not a festival, why did you let Lai'an run to your aunt's house? What is your grandma trying to do?" Gu Lianshan frowned. What is the old lady trying to do?
His sister is not a good person. Every time she comes home, she makes trouble for their second room!
"I can't guess what my grandma is thinking." Gu Mei said impatiently and handed the bowl over.
Changing the subject, she continued, "Don't forget to save some food for Lai'an. Grandma only gave me three handfuls of millet flour today, and the porridge I cooked was very thin. When you distributed the porridge, you only gave me half a bowl. I'm still hungry now..."
After saying that, Gu Mei looked at her father expectantly, hoping that her father would ask her to stay and eat the meat.
Gu Lianshan is not stupid. How could he not understand what his eldest daughter said?
But you can’t say anything about keeping people.
Among his four children, the most capable and promising one is his second daughter, Gu Tang, but she is also the cruelest and hardest-hearted one.
If he dares to keep him here without his second daughter's consent today, not only will he not be able to eat meat, his second daughter will even blow the roof off the house!
It's not that he looks down on others, but his eldest son and daughter are so stupid that they are not even worth a finger of others to play with!
Taking the bowl, Gu Lianshan pretended not to understand what his eldest daughter said and waved his hand at her: "Got it, go back to the house quickly, it will be very cold when it gets dark."
As he spoke, he came out of the house, closed the door, and went to the kitchen with the bowl in his hand.
Gu Mei lowered her head, her whole body shaking with anger, her heart filled with unspeakable grievances.
She stood at the door for a while, then went back to the house, covering her face and crying.
Gu Tang deliberately stood at the door of the kitchen. When she saw someone trotting back to the house, she turned around and shouted to her father, "Your eldest daughter is crying. I'm afraid she must hate me to death now."
"You said that as if she didn't hate you in the past. You two sisters have never gotten along since you were little. You have always been at loggerheads with each other."
Gu Lianshan was washing a clay pot when he said this without even turning his head.
Gu Tang curled his lips and thought, it’s okay, he didn’t ask his eldest daughter to stay for dinner, but he still wanted this cheap father.
He returned to the kitchen, took out the stir-fried rabbit meat, picked up a piece, blew it cool and put it in his mouth.
Well... the taste is not bad, but it is not delicious either. It is just salty and has no other taste. But it is a hundred times better than millet porridge!
"What? It doesn't taste good?" Seeing her frown, Gu Lianshan thought the rabbit meat tasted bad, so he reached out and picked up a piece and threw it into his mouth.
Um! It has a burnt aroma and no fishy smell. It tastes good!
"Daddy tastes great, a hundred times better than the meat your milk made!"
Gu Tang rolled his eyes: "My grandmother usually cooks meat by boiling it in water. How can you expect it to taste that good?"
Gu Lianshan thought about it and it made sense. The old lady had cooked all her life by boiling water without oil or salt, as long as she could fill her stomach.
As for whether it tastes good or not, the old lady never considers these things.
Putting the rinsed earthenware pot on the stove, Gu Lianshan prepared to cook a bowl of porridge for his eldest son to eat when he came back.
Gu Tang took a glance and did not stop her father from cooking porridge, nor did she tell him to save some rice and meat for Gu Laian. Instead, she gave him a few reminders.
"I don't know when my eldest brother will be back. It's getting late. If you go to my aunt's house, she will definitely leave some food for you. Don't rush to cook this porridge. Wait until someone comes back and asks if you've eaten it."
Gu Lianshan had just scooped a bucket of water but hadn't poured it in when he heard Gu Tang's words and thought about it carefully and realized that this made sense.
When my nephew from my mother's side comes over, as his aunt, I should at least invite him to have a meal, right?
If you eat it, there is no need to cook the porridge.
Putting down the watering can, Gu Lianshan listened to Gu Tang and planned to wait for someone to come back and ask him about it.
Seeing this, Gu Tang smiled and handed a small bowl full of rabbit meat to her father: "Bring it to my room to eat. There is a deer in your room, and there is no room to eat now."
Holding a pot of meat, the rich aroma of meat instantly surrounded Gu Lianshan.
At this moment, he couldn't hear anything his daughter said. He just believed whatever she said and all he thought about was eating meat!
When the others carried the meat out of the kitchen, the smile on Gu Tang's face changed and became malicious.
Feng only gave birth to one daughter in her life, named Gu Zhi, whose personality and temperament were very much like Feng.
If the boys and girls from the eldest family came over, Gu Zhi would definitely reserve some food for them.
But if the boys and girls from the second house come over, not only will they not leave any food for you, they won't even give you a sip of water, and they will force you to help with some chores.
Gu Laian has been gone for such a long time and hasn't come back. It's absolutely certain that he is working there.
I’m afraid I won’t be able to come back until it’s completely dark.
The more Gu Tang thought about it, the happier he became. He picked up the rice he had cooked earlier and happily left the kitchen.
Gu Lianshan and his son Gu Ping'an were sitting in the house waiting for her. The dishes and chopsticks had been set out, and they were just waiting for Gu Tang and rice.
Even though Gu Tang kept shouting that she was greedy, when it came time to eat, she really couldn't eat much.
She only ate one spoonful of the half-full can of rice, and the same with the rabbit meat. Her father and Gu Ping'an gave her all the good meat. She picked and ate a dozen pieces, and then she couldn't eat any more.
The original owner had never been full for many years. His stomach was small and shallow, so he could not eat much, nor could he eat too much, otherwise he would vomit out of discomfort.
When he first came here, Gu Tang was not aware of the original owner's illness. He ate too much and ended up vomiting. He lost his energy for the whole day.
Gu Lianshan and his son both knew that Gu Tang couldn't eat too much, so they picked out some of the untouched rabbit meat for her, and ate the rest together with rice.
After dinner, Gu Tang doesn’t have to wash the pots and pans.
Her father washed the pots and dishes while Gu Ping'an went to boil hot water for her.
After the hot water was boiled, Gu Tang washed up and went to bed.
It’s cold, there’s no internet, no electricity, and no place to play. There’s nothing to do except lie in bed to keep warm.
Besides, people tend to feel sleepy after eating and drinking too much.
Not long after lying in bed, Gu Tang yawned several times and fell asleep soon after, without even turning off the oil lamp.
…
He went to bed early and woke up early. The rooster in the backyard crowed only twice when Gu Tang woke up in a daze.
When I turned my head, I saw the oil lamp on the stool beside the bed.
The oil lamp was still on, having been on all night, and the oil inside was almost burned out.
Oh my god!
Her lamp oil! ! !
Gu Tang instantly perked up and quickly got up to blow out the lamp.
After blowing out the light, she shivered and lay back in bed, wrapping herself tightly in the fur blanket, feeling heartbroken and extremely angry.
I had planned to get up as soon as I woke up.
It’s not worth it right now!
Gu Tang turned over angrily, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.
Unfortunately, I was destined to not be able to sleep.
Not long after she lay down, her father's voice rang out from outside the room: "Girl? Are you awake?"
Gu Tang opened his eyes and called up the system panel. It was only five o'clock in the morning and it was not yet dawn!
"Dad, why are you getting up so early?"
"Didn't I tell you yesterday? Someone is coming to our house to check on the deer today, but we don't know when they'll come. Hurry up and feed the deer some more rice to cheer it up!"
