Road to Rebirth

Chapter 42
Gu Xiaoqing looked in the kitchen, there must be no meat, minced meat was taken away, and he had no money in his pocket, the only thing he had was one dollar.

Forget it, enough to buy a catty of meat.

Gu Xiaoqing told her uncle to go and pull some vegetables from the field, and then left.

Li Weimin is not a person who can sit still. He looked in the yard, and there were roofs and eaves.

I found tools myself, and dug yellow mud from the loess pile beside the road. There is a lot of this mud in this village. It was the raw material for making soil embryos in the former earthen embryo house, and there were a lot of them in that village.

After being made into mud, with straw added to it, Li Weimin set up a ladder and went up to the roof by himself, and began to mend the holes under the plastic sheeting little by little.

This plastic sheet can keep out the rain, but when winter comes, if the temperature drops, the plastic sheet will freeze to slag, and if there is a little snow, there will still be dew everywhere in the house.

Gu Xiaoqing went to Feng Butcher's house to cut a catty of pork belly. Because of the care of Gu Ruhai's family these two days, Feng Butcher's business is also very good.

The main reason is that Feng Tuhu noticed that Gu Ruhai must be doing some business.

From now on, he might still be his long-term client, and even take care of Gu Xiaoqing and the others.

Didn't this send two more big bone sticks.

Although there is no meat on it, it is very delicious when stewed into soup.

Gu Xiaoqing also said a lot of nice words, after all, if he didn't appreciate other people's feelings, it would be too unreasonable.

Walking back, I happened to meet Gu Ruhai and Li Xuemei who were pushing the cart, "Mom and Dad, uncle is here, and he's carrying a bag of grain."

This was said loudly, mainly to let the people on the side of the road who were staring at the meat in their hands hear it. Relatives came to the door and sent a large bag of grain, and cut a little meat for entertainment, which is what they should do.

It's just that there is no food, and the eldest uncle came to the door, so he couldn't entertain him politely.

People who looked at the meat in Gu Xiaoqing's hands were not so greedy.

This family rarely gets a meal of meat.

It's different for people to treat relatives at home. Besides, everyone in Gujia Village knows that Li Xuemei's two brothers from her natal family are good at farming. The family lives well, and they help their brother-in-law from time to time.

Otherwise, Gu Ruhai's life would be even more difficult.

Li Xuemei was also happy, seeing the meat in Gu Xiaoqing's hands, knowing that the girl was entertaining her elder brother, she felt at ease.

After all, my eldest brother brings a lot of things for himself every time he comes, but most of the time he leaves without eating a bite of food, because he wants to save a bite of food for the children.

This time, I can be considered elated.

The couple entered the house with their three children.

I saw Li Weimin on the roof.

Gu Ruhai quickly leaned the car against the wall, Li Xuemei and the others were enough to unload the car.

On the ladder ready to hold hands.

"Brother, let me come, you rest."

Gu Ruhai really doesn't know how to say nice words, this is his greatest sincerity.

Li Weimin raised his head and smiled. This surprised Gu Ruhai, and he felt a little flattered. This brother-in-law of his own has always had a cold face in front of him. This is the first time he has shown such a kind expression to himself, you Said that Gu Ruhai wasn't frightened.

"No, you pass me the mud, I've already done it, the two of us can do it faster."

Gu Ruhai agreed, climbed down and filled a basket with mud, then went up and handed it to Li Weimin.

The two cooperated very well.

Gu Xiaoqing, who was below, carried the meat to the kitchen, and then opened the pocket that his uncle brought. Inside was bright yellow cornmeal. Gu Xiaoqing tried to carry it, and it should weigh fifty catties.

This is enough for the family to eat until harvesting wheat.

Gu Xiaoying walked in and asked, "What to eat?"

The main reason is to help. In fact, Gu Xiaoying also knows that her sister's cooking is better than her own, but she has unloaded everything from the car outside, so she can't just sit and watch her work alone.

"Sister, you go to the field to pick some vegetables, see what's fresh and pick more, and let's treat uncle to a meal."

In fact, Gu Xiaoqing also knew that there were only those kinds of fields in the field. He didn't have much vegetable land, only five points, except for cabbage and radishes, there were leeks and so on, how could there be other things.

The main reason is that Gu Xiaoqing thought that this was the first time his family entertained his uncle, so we should be a little sincere.

As soon as Gu Xiaoying agreed, she took a basket and ran to the vegetable field behind.

Gu Xiaoqing scooped the cornmeal into the basin, and wanted to steam white flour steamed buns for his uncle, but the food had to be donated by his uncle's family. How can there be such a big meal and drink?

So Gu Xiaoqing is still going to make corn flour steamed buns, with a little less white flour in it, so it tastes soft and has a good taste.

As for vegetables, Gu Xiaoqing thought about making braised pork, according to the estimates of the vegetables in her own vegetable field, a hot and sour cabbage, a leek scrambled eggs, and a potato shreds, that's all.

Fortunately, there are big bones. As soon as Gu Xiaoqing came back, he boiled the big bones in the pot over there. The big bones were boiled, put some cabbage leaves in it, and finally put the lumps made of cornmeal into them , is the best pimple soup.

This is already the best food Gu Xiaoqing can think of.

After all, my family has not really reached the level of wealth, but this is already exhausting everything.

While Gu Xiaoqing was steaming the cornmeal steamed buns, Gu Xiaoying came back with a basket.

There was another person following behind.

It turned out to be Mr. Gu.

No one thought of this.

Gu Xiaoying yelled: "Dad, my grandpa is here."

After finishing speaking, he slumped into the kitchen, lowered his head and began to pick and wash vegetables.

When Gu Ruhai heard this, he quickly lowered his head to look down. Sure enough, it was Mr. Gu standing in the yard with his head up, looking in his direction.

In fact, the work in hand has already been busy, and the two of them are just finishing up. They were ready to go down, so it's okay if they don't go down this time.

Both Li Weimin and Gu Ruhai got off the roof.

Put away the ladder.

Li Weimin, covered in mud, greeted Mr. Gu with a smile, "How is Mr. Gu?"

Although this old man Gu is eccentric, he is Gu Ruhai's father and his in-laws. Li Weimin, a junior, still respects him in face.

This can't let others talk.

Mr. Gu didn't expect Li Xuemei's natal brother to be there, so he could only say perfunctorily, "It's good, it's good, his grandfather is in good health, isn't he?"

This is the minimum courtesy, Mr. Gu asked.

At this moment, Li Xuemei has already moved a stool to Mr. Gu's lap: "Dad, sit down."

Then I went to fetch water for Gu Ruhai and Li Weimin, both of them were in a bad shape, and they couldn't see people without washing.
