“What is everyone fighting about? Why snacking when it is not time to eat?” Gu Yunshen interrupted Zhang Xiaohui before he could finish his sentence.
When Gu Yunshen heard the commotion there, she knew that Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing were going to bully Gu Qingyao, so she went to take a look.
As the only able-bodied male in the family, Gu Yunshen spoke with great authority. Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing did not dare to say anything after being reprimanded by Gu Yunshen.
However, their eyes twinkled as they looked at the game that Gu Qingyao brought back!
"Pheasant, and a rabbit!" Gu Ruoqing was surprised and pleased. He went home to find red-boiled pork, and also a pile of uncooked pork ribs. Now, he saw two pheasants and a plump rabbit. There is so much meat!
That's more meat than they usually eat in a year!
Gu Yunshen was also stunned when she saw the items that Gu Qingyao brought back!
“Yao Yao, where did these items come from? Why are there so many?”
Gu Qingyao put down the boiled red pork before replying. “I found wild plants and mushrooms myself. I caught one of the pheasants, and Brother Beihan gave me the rest.”
“I met him on the way home and he gave me a pheasant and a rabbit. I gave him some wild plants, about two kilograms of mushrooms, as well as ten pheasant eggs.”
Gu Yunshen nodded and did not say anything.
Their families were on good terms with the Mo Beihan family. Gu Qingyao and Mo Beihan grew up together and were good friends.
Every time Mo Beihan returned to visit his family, he always brought something for Yao Yao. When his own nephew returned, they always gave something to the Mo family. This has been their practice for years.
Gu Yunshen said with a smile, “That's good, I'll keep this. You..”
Gu Yunshen raised his head and glanced at Zhang Xiaohui. “Quick and prepare food. Heat red boiled pork. Then make brown rice porridge and add some wild herb pancakes.”
Gu Yunshen had to be detailed with his instructions because he understood Zhang Xiaohui's personality very well. He was lazy, greedy, and completely indifferent to the welfare of others. If he didn't spell it, he would spend all the grains at home.
Finally, Gu Yunshen took the game and came out after directing Gu Ruoqing to help Wen Ruyu on the field. Zhang Xiaohui remained in the kitchen to help Gu Qingyao light a fire and prepare dinner.
The red rice is placed in a pot and allowed to boil. Gu Qingyao rinsed some of the wild plants and cut them roughly before mixing them with two types of flour. When the small pot was hot, he put the boiled red pork in it to heat up. The red pork was boiled greasy and he used it to lubricate the pan so that the pancakes also had a little oil.
There are only six medium-sized pancakes. In addition, there were two white flour bakpaos steamed in a large pot for Grandpa and Grandma.
They are old and cannot manage rough grains.
Bakpao wheat flour is made from fine wheat flour mixed with a little cornstarch. They are rare discoveries.
Even bread in state-owned restaurants is rarely made purely from white flour. It is usually made from two or three different types of flour mixed into one.
After which, Gu Qingyao added a plate of dried radishes, and it was dinner. The farmer had a simple dinner. There is meat tonight, so no one will feel the food is inferior.
Because today, many people are starving.
As the dishes were placed on the table, Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing fought over the meat. They were so busy that they did not even bother to eat porridge or pancakes, but focused on putting meat into their mouths. The rest could not bear to even look at them.
Gu Qingyao felt disgusted at the sight of their mouths all greasy, but they still frantically stuffed their faces.
He didn't eat much, only half a pancake, and a few mouthfuls of porridge.
After dinner, Gu Ruoqing disappeared. He went out to play.
Zhang Xiaohui was in the kitchen washing dishes, scraping pots, and boiling water to wash their feet because his father forced him to. Normally, Gu Qingyao or Grandma Wen Ruyu noticed these things. Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Qingyao acted as if they were family ancestors.
Gu Qingyao returned to her room and thought for a moment before searching around for wool in her interspace warehouse.
He had collected this in his previous life, and still had a lot. So he took out a black wool to knit a sweater for Mo Beihan. He had to leave after his leave was over. He would finish knitting it so he could carry it.
Then he remembered that he had plenty of time in between. He might be able to knit a few sweaters before Mo Beihan leaves!
The sky gradually became dark. Most farmers go to bed early because kerosene is too expensive, and they can't afford it.
After everyone slept, Gu Qingyao took her wool and entered her residence.
The fact that the space between them was divided into two parts was perfect for Gu Qingyao.
One part is used as a warehouse to store goods, while he can freely enter the other half, namely living space. Ten acres of land in between lives including natural ponds. Small rows of houses stand by the pool.
For the sake of convenience, the houses there are all built outside, and are the type of temporary homes that construction workers live in on construction sites.
However, she had used good materials and made them to order, so the outside was much prettier.
They looked like little villas that could be found in the villages, and were very simple and beautiful.
Gu Qingyao had placed a rocking chair under the cherry tree beside the pond. He sat there to knit and when he got bored, he made a pot around his fruit tree and picked the ripe fruit.
After which, he carefully inventoryed the resources in between and recorded them in a book. Then he recalled in detail the events and people he had met recently, and planned for the future. Only then did he rest.
Gu Qingyao woke up early the next morning, preparing to go to the kitchen to make breakfast. But when he entered the kitchen, he realized that a lot of meat in the kitchen was missing.
Some of the pigs have disappeared. About three kilograms of fish that he caught yesterday was exhausted. The biggest fish was still there, probably because it was too obvious if he picked it up. So he just took the medium-sized ones.
Six whole loaves of bread were missing from the kitchen shelf. There were ten left, and now he had taken six of them.
Gu Qingyao gritted her teeth in anger. Zhang Xiaohui is a despicable person!
He must have brought them to complete his birth home.
Gu Yunshen happened to wake up at the same time. He looked at Gu Qingyao standing in the kitchen and said, "Yao Yao, why are you getting up so early?"
Gu Ruoqing also woke up early and happened to enter the kitchen at the same time. When he saw Gu Yunshen appear, he immediately stopped and said, "Dad, I have to get out!"
Then he hurriedly left the house.
It's not a busy season, and there's no breakfast, so he doesn't want to linger at home where he has to work.
Upon hearing Gu Ruoqing's voice, Gu Qingyao immediately turned around and shouted, "Don't move!"
He lunged at Gu Ruoqing and caught her.
“Don't you dare run out. You stay here and work. You have been a freeloader all your life. The Gu family didn't raise you to play all day at your age. Tidy up the yard and wash everyone's dirty clothes from yesterday. Then wash the radish sprouts. If you don't finish everything at the end of the morning, you won't get lunch!”
