Chapter 130 Gu Jiashi Arrives
On the second day, after watching Luo Meihua, Dahua, Wu Fang and Zhao Qin leave, Gu Qingqing was talking to Wen Wuyan about the fact that the family was running out of vegetables, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of what looked like Gu Zhuangzhuang's figure on the path, but this time he was not alone, there was someone with him.
Gu Qingqing narrowed her eyes first and then widened them, and couldn't help but yelled "Mom?"
Wen Wuyan was also looking over there. After hearing Qingqing's voice, he asked in confusion, "Why is my mother-in-law here?"
Gu Qingqing looked at Wen Wuyan with a confused look on her face, "I don't know."
With that, the two of them stood up and walked out of the yard.
When they got closer, Gu Qingqing asked hurriedly, "Mom, why are you here?"
"Mother-in-law, please come to the yard." Wen Wuyan followed suit and made a gesture to invite her.
When Gu Jia saw that her daughter was really living in a blue brick house as Zhuangzhuang had said, her eyes instantly turned red. Her daughter had really turned around and was living in a blue brick house.
She is so happy as a mother.
"Mom." Seeing that Gu Jia was in a trance, Gu Qingqing had no choice but to call out again.
Gu Jia quickly turned around and said to her with relief, "You are the same, kid. You didn't even tell me about such a big event at home. If Zhuangzhuang hadn't mentioned it unintentionally when he went home yesterday, I wouldn't have known that you were going to build a new house."
Wen Wuyan said hurriedly, "Mother-in-law, it's my fault. Qingqing wanted to go back and tell her, but you see, I am not good enough and I made her unable to leave home."
After Wen Wuyan finished speaking, his eyes fell on the bamboo pole in his hand.
Gu Jia had finally mustered up the courage to say this, but after hearing her son-in-law's explanation, she immediately felt insecure as she had just become the head of the family.
He waved his hands repeatedly, "I don't mean to complain, that's not what I mean. I just, I just want to come and help you."
Gu Qingqing spoke up at this time, "Let's go into the yard first, we shouldn't stand here."
After entering the yard, Gu Qingqing first called Erhua and asked her to call her grandma.
Then he brought Sanhua out to show Gu Jiashi.
"Okay, you are all good kids. Zhuangzhuang, quickly take out the things you brought and give them to your sister." Gu Jia said to Gu Zhuangzhuang who was standing aside.
At the same time, holding Sanhua in his arms, he said to Gu Qingqing, "There is nothing good at home. A few days ago, Xiaocao and I went to the mountains to pick up some yam fruits and some wild chestnuts."
After Gu Jia finished speaking, she looked somewhat unnatural, because she really had nothing to show off.
Gu Qingqing looked at what Gu Zhuangzhuang poured out of the bamboo basket and didn't know what to say for a moment.
It must not be easy for her family to save so much food as she has just become the head of the family.
Why do you have to memorize so much?
"Mom, please bring these things here, I..." Gu Qingqing said as she turned her gaze from the bamboo basket to Gu Jia's side. She saw that the other party was looking back at Wen Wuyan with a slightly apologetic look, and she immediately smiled again after greeting her.
She instantly swallowed back the "no need" that she was about to say.
Then he changed his words, "I, I like it, but mother, please don't send it to me anymore in the future. Leave some for Xiaocao at home. If he can't finish it, we can sell it in town for some money."
"Hey, as long as you like it." Seeing that her daughter liked the food she prepared, Gu Jia's face immediately showed joy.
Just as Gu Qingqing finished speaking, she saw Gu Zhuangzhuang suddenly take out a chicken with its neck drooping from the bamboo basket.
Gu Qingqing turned her gaze to look at Wen Wuyan who was also confused, then looked back at the chicken in Gu Zhuangzhuang's hand, dumbfounded, "What, what happened?"
Gu Jia said hurriedly, "I think this chicken was frightened by Wong Tai Sin a few days ago. It refused to eat and hung its head in the chicken coop all day. It was already dead when I went to see it this morning. I decided to bring it to you. You can cook it for the children tonight. Don't always feed the children with offal. Although it's not worth much, it still tastes bad."
When Gu Qingqing heard her say this, she knew that Gu Zhuangzhuang must have gone back yesterday and told their mother what he ate here. But shouldn’t Zhuangzhuang have said it was delicious?
Thinking of this, she asked, "Mom, did Zhuangzhuang tell you something yesterday when he went home? He said that pig offal doesn't taste good?"
Gu Jia quickly waved her hands, "No, no, he said it was delicious."
"Yes, very good." Gu Zhuangzhuang tried hard to prove his innocence.
After Gu Jia's next words, Gu Qingqing knew where the problem lay.
She smiled and said in a reproachful tone, "What do you eat that doesn't taste good? You can even taste the fragrance of dog shit."
Gu Qingqing: "......"
Wen Wuyan: "......"
Gu Zhuangzhuang glanced at his mother with resentment. He loved to eat, but he didn't eat dog shit.
After saying this, Gu Jia hurriedly handed her the three flowers in her arms, and said, "Okay, stop talking. I'm here to help you with your work today. You look at what you want to do and I'll do it. And Zhuangzhuang, go over to the house and help move some bricks or something."
When Gu Zhuangzhuang heard that he had to move bricks, he glanced over there. He didn't want to be with so many people. Finally, he asked Gu Qingqing, "Sister, let's cut bamboo today."
Gu Qingqing immediately took Sanhua and said to him, "If you don't cut bamboo today, you can move bricks."
Seeing that they were not going to cut down the bamboo, Gu Zhuangzhuang could only say "Oh" and walked slowly towards the new house.
She let Sanhua into the house and fed her milk. When she came out and saw Wen Wuyan had also left the yard, she found Gu Jia and said to her, "Mother, do you think I don't know what's going on at home? I'll take the yam and wild chestnuts, and you can take the chicken back later. You see, Wen Wuyan and I can afford such a house, so how can we be short of a chicken? Take it home and make soup for you and Xiaocao. Xiaocao is pregnant with a strong child, so she should eat what she needs. Besides, there are only three hens in the family, and now one is dead. Can't we treasure the remaining two?"
Seeing her son-in-law taking Zhuangzhuang to help in the back, Gu Jia said her true feelings only in front of her daughter, "Qingqing, you don't need this chicken, but this is something I, as a mother, can afford. I wasn't the head of the family before, and I didn't come to your place very often. If you let me take the chicken back today, how can I have the face to see you in the future?"
Gu Qingqing looked at the novice steward, Gu Jiashi, who was still uneasy at the moment. She was just like a poor classmate who wanted to be nice to his rich classmate but didn't know where to start.
Gu Qingqing had no way to attack her ability at this critical moment, so she could only smile and agree, "Okay, I'll keep the things."
......
There are many people in the family, so we have to prepare dry food almost every day. We ate steamed buns yesterday, and today Gu Qingqing and Gu Jia made pancakes together. They planned to make a cabbage, tofu and starch soup for noon.
While they were busy in the kitchen, Erhua ran in again, "Mom, look, it's Shen Chenan, he brought a lot of things with him."
Erhua said as she raised her arm and pointed in the direction of the only path connecting their yard.
