Chapter 37: Uneasy
Brother Gu used both hands to put the money on the table into the paper box: "Hey, I'm so happy and not hungry at all."
"Brother, wash your hands and eat first. You can set up a stall selling meat buns in front of the school tomorrow morning."
"Ah~ Okay, now I'm a little hungry again. I'm going to wash my hands."
The Gu family had already washed their hands and were waiting for the people who set up the stall to come back for dinner.
Dinner was still a big pot of chicken soup and a big pot of braised pig's trotters. Gu Jiaojiao had braised the pig's trotters in the pot before she went out.
The chicken was killed before Su's father left. His daughter-in-law said that his family was seriously malnourished, so they killed the remaining chicken.
Su Qinchun cooked the rice, and Gu's mother also stir-fried green beans and loofah.
Ten people share four dishes, but the portions are large, and the rice is cooked to the right softness or hardness, so you can eat two bowls even without the dishes.
"Jiaojiao, can I really go sell buns tomorrow morning?"
"Well, after dinner, we'll knead the dough and let it rest. We bought a lot of Fuqiang flour last time, so we can make some sauerkraut buns, lean meat buns, and green vegetable buns."
"Are you still selling the cold noodles?" Brother Gu thought selling cold noodles was profitable.
"I sell cold noodles at noon and in the afternoon, and steamed buns in the morning. I carry a popsicle box with steamed buns in it and sell them in different places."
"Do you have a popsicle box at home?"
"Yes, there are three more."
Gu Jiaojiao said while drinking chicken soup that she still had a lot of foam boxes in her space.
That was in her previous life. Her family’s warehouse was used to store fruits and fresh foods. She and Su Shuoci had already finished two foam boxes of fresh-keeping foods.
The space was empty, and last time she wanted to try the popsicles of this era, the monkey bought her a box of popsicles.
So, she now has three foam boxes, which are from a clear source, just enough for Su's father, Su's mother, and second brother Gu.
"Hey! We don't have a refrigerator at home, and Jiaojiao wanted to eat popsicles, so Cizi bought them along with the popsicle box."
Father Su said honestly that he was just such an ordinary man.
Gu Jiaojiao felt that a mortal like Su's father was simply a super Versailles, and she couldn't help laughing.
Of course, the Gu family didn’t know about Versailles, so they could only envy them.
"Jiaojiao and I will go to the black market to buy some more Fuqiang flour tomorrow. After you buy the buns in the morning, you can go to the stall to sell cold noodles at noon."
As a man, Su Shuoci naturally arranged tomorrow's schedule. He couldn't let his wife do everything.
If she, an eighteen-year-old girl, talked too much, it would be easy for her to be exposed, not to mention that she was a rich girl who had never done any housework before.
"Shuo Ci, Jiaojiao, how about I set up a stall tomorrow as well?" Father Gu asked, mustering up the courage.
If it were the old him, he would not have been willing to give up this dignity, but he has done all kinds of work on the farm in the past few years.
"Of course, grandpa and big brother will need at least a month to recover before we can go out.
But I can help to shell peanuts at home, and my mother will help us cook and hang clothes at home. "
Gu Jiaojiao agreed readily and arranged work for other people.
She knew that the five members of the Gu family were eating at the Su family's house, and they would be uncomfortable if they were not allowed to work.
Although the eldest brother of the Gu family can sit at the table to eat, he still needs to rest for a while if he wants to work.
His physical condition has been severely damaged, so he can still peel peanuts at home.
"Jiaojiao, what do you want the peanuts for?" Grandpa Gu's voice became louder when he saw that there was work to do.
"We planned to put a few peanuts in each serving of cold noodles. We sold more than 200 bowls in one afternoon, so we must have sold more than 500 bowls that day."
Su Shuoci explained, and used the serving chopsticks to pick up a large piece of braised pig's trotter for each person on the table.
Now that everyone in the Gu family has work to do, they feel that they are not eating for free, so they eat the braised pig's trotters with relish.
The Su family came back a little late from setting up their stall, so they had dinner later than other families.
When the two families were enjoying their meal, they heard a knock on the door.
Su Qinchun immediately went to open the door and saw Sheng Shiwu standing at the door with a cloth bag in his hand.
"You...why are you here?"
"Is Jiaojiao awake?"
Su Qinchun looked at Sheng Shiwu like he was a fool and said, "We are still eating and haven't gone to bed yet."
Sheng Shiwu: ...
He just wanted to ask if Gu Jiaojiao was unconscious from saving people in the water all day.
"Chun Ni, who's here? Please come in." Su's mother shouted in the house.
"I, I won't go in. I'll give this to you." Sheng Shiwu put the six kilograms of rice in his hand into Su Qinchun's hand.
He wanted to turn around and leave, but Su Qinchun didn't take it. With a snap, the bag fell to the ground.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Sheng Shiwu immediately squatted down to pick it up. This was six kilograms of rice that he had bought with all his savings.
He heard that Dong's stepmother drove all of Jiaojiao's family members to the Su's house, and he was worried that the Su family would have no food to eat.
He took out all his belongings, bought six kilograms of rice and sent it over quietly.
"The third brother Sheng is here, please come in and sit down. Have you eaten?" Mother Su enthusiastically pulled Sheng Shiwu.
As Sheng Shiwu entered the door, he smelled the aroma of meat. It was so fragrant that he put down his bowl and came out.
Why am I hungry now? "Third brother is here, come and have dinner." Gu Jiaojiao saw the uneasy boy standing in front of her.
Looking at the braised pig's trotters on the table, he looked like he was about to drool, especially with a few kilograms of rice in his hands.
Since the original owner had already forgiven the Sheng family in a dream, Gu Jiaojiao instantly softened her heart and blurted out "Third Brother".
After shouting, I felt a little annoyed and didn’t know if this was right.
Su Shuoci had already pushed his wheelchair forward and held her hand: "Shi Wu, come over for dinner."
He wishes his wife would have more ties in the mortal world so that she wouldn't think about ascending to heaven!
"good."
Sheng Shiwu couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
The moment he glanced over, he saw Su Shuoci sitting quietly and elegantly in the wheelchair.
There was a rare smile on his face, as if he was hinting at his unexpressible joy in an eternal gesture.
Sheng Shiwu had seen Su Shuoci before he was injured, and he had also seen Su Shuoci after he was injured. Neither time had he looked so good.
Before he was injured, Su Shuoci's pair of narrow and deep eyes always looked at them gloomily and coldly like a wolf.
After Su Shuoci was injured, even with his eyes closed, one could still feel the hostility in him, which was so gloomy and suffocating.
The nineteen-year-old Sheng Shiwu was undoubtedly afraid of Su Shuoci, and sat beside the table like a primary school student.
But after taking a bite of the braised pig's trotter, all fears disappeared.
"Jiaojiao, you should try this pig's trotter, it's super delicious." Sheng Shiwu said it so naturally as if he had said it a thousand times.
Gu Jiaojiao searched her memory and found that the three brothers of the Sheng family doted on the original body in this way before Sheng Xinglian returned to the Sheng family.
Even though Sheng Shiwu was only one year older than her, he would always give the delicious food at home to the original body first.
It was because of this favor that the original body became uneasy after the real daughter of the Sheng family returned to the Sheng family.
