The two of them were busy and chatting in the kitchen, and they felt that time passed very quickly.
At 4:30 in the afternoon, there was a burst of noise outside the door. Jianshu walked out of the kitchen and saw that Gu Mingjing had returned with his men.
"Shushu, I'm back!"
Jian Shu was stunned at first, then he smiled and went over to greet everyone, "Everyone, please sit down for a while. The food will take a while. Everyone, please sit down and have some snacks to fill your stomach."
"You're welcome, sister-in-law. We finished training early today, and they all clamored to come earlier. You're busy, so don't worry about us. If there's anything we can help with, just tell us. Although we may not lack anything else, we still have plenty of strength." Han Jingshan pushed his glasses and continued with a smile.
Jian Shu took out some candies and snacks from the cupboard and placed them on the table. "It's okay. Everything is almost ready in the kitchen. Just sit here for a while and wait for dinner to be served."
After he finished speaking, he looked towards the door, a little confused, "But why are there only a few of you? Where are the others?"
There are only six of them now, the number doesn't match.
At this time, Gu Mingjing, who had changed into light clothes, came over and said, "Old Sun and the others have gone back to pick up their wives and children. They will be here soon."
"Okay, then you stay here and chat with everyone, I'll go cook first." When there are guests, one of the hosts always has to stay to keep them company.
Gu Mingjing refused without hesitation, "No, I'll go and help you. They are not children. They have food and drink. Who else does they need to accompany them?"
His wife has to cook by herself, it must be so tiring, he can't bear to let her do that.
“…” Jianshu suddenly choked.
Is this something that requires someone to accompany you?
Seeing his wife's unfriendly look, Gu Mingjing quickly gave a wink to the group of people watching over there.
After receiving his signal, everyone quickly spoke:
"No need, sister-in-law. Just let Brother Gu go in and accompany you. We can do it."
"Yeah, we're all family, so don't be polite to us."
"We have food and drink here, what else do we need to take care of?"
Jian Shu glared at Gu Mingjing fiercely, then quickly changed his expression and looked at everyone with a smile, "In that case, I won't greet you all. Everyone, eat and drink as if you were at home. Don't be polite."
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, we will definitely not be polite!"
"Yeah yeah."
"You have something to do first, don't worry about us!"
Everyone responded in unison.
Jianshu turned around, secretly pinched the flesh on Gu Mingjing's arm and pulled him into the kitchen.
This bastard, did he think she didn't see his wink?
Just as he was about to teach him a lesson, as soon as he entered, he met Wu Xiufang's gaze.
I couldn't help but hold my forehead.
It was a mistake. I forgot that Sister Xiufang was still alive.
At this moment, Gu Mingjing quickly seized the opportunity and approached with a flattering look on his face, "Shushu, is there anything I can help you with? Just tell me."
Jianshu gave him a warning look, and then began to order people around as he pleased.
Wu Xiufang's work had all been taken away, and now she couldn't help but be amazed. Oh my God, I never thought Comrade Gu had this side to him.
"Sister-in-law, we are almost ready here. You can take a rest and go back to pick up the children for dinner."
"Okay, then I'll go back first and bring you the tables and chairs later." Wu Xiufang clapped her hands, seeing that she was indeed no longer useful.
Jian Shu quickly said, "Sister-in-law, please don't move. The table is heavy. I'll ask Gu Mingjing to move it home later."
"I'll let Lao Han and the others move it." Gu Mingjing, who was wearing an apron and waving a spatula, said.
Then he shouted outside, "Jingshan, Xiaosong, go back with Sister Zhao and bring all the tables and chairs over here."
"Okay! Where should we put it after we move it back?" Han Jingshan's voice came from the main room.
Jian Shu pulled Gu Mingjing's sleeve and said, "Don't move it into the house. Just put it in the yard and eat it."
It's too crowded in the house; the yard is more spacious.
Gu Mingjing nodded and shouted again, "Put it in the yard. Move the table out as well!"
"knew!"
"Then I'll go back first." Wu Xiufang nodded at Jian Shu, turned and left.
Soon, the young couple were the only ones left in the kitchen. Jianshu took over Gu Mingjing's cooking job and sent him to light the fire.
Chicken nuggets were stewing in a big iron pot. Jianshu put a circle of pancakes on the edge. When you dip them in the soup, the taste is amazing. Three or five of them are not enough.
In addition to flatbreads as the staple food, Jianshu also cooked a pot of sweet potatoes and steamed a pot of steamed cornbread. It was not that she was stingy and refused to steam the buns or cook rice, but there were about 10 to 20 people in the family, and they were all big eaters. Would it be enough to add more buns and rice?
Even if her mother could afford so much rice and flour, would she dare?
The wood stove and coal stove in the kitchen were all used. While the chicken was stewing, Jianshu quickly fried some peanuts and mixed a bowl of kelp shreds.
When the dishes were half cooked, all the guests for the night arrived.
The yard was bustling with noise, the men were talking loudly, and the female comrades went into the kitchen to say hello to Jianshu. Seeing that there was really no way they could help, they grabbed a group of naughty children who were running around and took them out to prevent them from coming back in to make trouble.
However, the aroma of food in the kitchen and the strong smell of meat made the children unable to move. In the end, Jianshu used candy as a temptation to send them away.
Seeing that the dishes were almost ready, Jian Shu nudged Gu Mingjing and said, "Alright, it's time to eat. Serve!"
Unexpectedly, Gu Mingjing shouted loudly outside, "Those who want to eat, come in and get the food!"
“…” Jianshu was truly shocked by his actions.
At this moment, a voice echoed from outside, "Here we come!"
Han Jingshan, Zhao Xiaosong and others hurried in to serve the dishes.
"Wow - it smells so good! Sister-in-law, your cooking skills are really good." Zhao Xiaosong took a deep breath with an exaggerated expression.
"Then eat more later." Jian Shu responded with a smile.
"must!"
Everyone walked out with a pot of hot pot, and everyone did not forget to praise Jianshu's cooking skills and expressed their envy of Gu Mingjing.
