Chapter 155 Silly Spore
Gu Shan and Gu Hai obediently followed their sister's arrangements. They followed the team leaders to collect vegetables early in the morning every day, and then drove ox carts to the state-owned restaurant and the county party committee compound.
Only after clearing out all the vegetables did she dare go home, unlike Gu Wan who would buy some buns and snacks at the state-owned restaurant every time he went into the city.
They just deliver the goods honestly and then take the money home.
Often by the time they got home, it was already ten or eleven in the morning. The two brothers would honestly hand over all their money and bills, and at most they would drink more water if they were hungry.
It was Qiao Yuemei who discovered this situation. As the third aunt, she felt sorry for her nephews at home, so she simply got up early and made pancakes for them to eat on the way.
Qiao Yuemei's cooking skills can't compare to Gu Wan's, and she doesn't have as many tricks as her own daughter, but she is more than capable of handling some home-cooked dishes, especially staple dishes.
Then Gu Wan, who got up early, saw her mother making pancakes. They smelled so delicious that her mouth was watering.
The breakfast prepared for Gu Wan is naturally better than that for others. This is an unspoken rule that is unanimously recognized and tacitly accepted by the entire Gu family.
"Mom, what delicious food are you going to make today?"
"Thin noodles, didn't you bring back some white flour before? I'll roll some noodles for you."
The fine grains, flour and other foods in the house were all brought back by Gu Wan, so it was normal to cook for her and no one would gossip.
Gu Lin, who was following behind Gu Wan, said naughtily, "Mom, can't you add some meat down there?"
He and his brother took turns to take breaks, and today happened to be Gu Lin's turn to take a break. He had originally planned to stay at home and help Qi Bin with the work.
I don’t know what Qi Bin is thinking about recently. He is very busy every day. Sometimes he would talk to his grandfather and ask for advice on carpentry.
The Shulin brothers worked in the farm tool factory for a while. They were not stupid and could see that it was Qi Bin who gave them such a good job. So why did he help them so much?
The men of the old Gu family, who were much more careless than the women, finally discovered Qi Bin's "evil ambitions", but they did not have as many schemes as Gu Wan's grandmother and mother.
Everyone thinks that Qi Bin is a good guy. I heard that he is from a big city in the capital, so he is naturally worthy of their sister Wanwan, who is perfect in every way.
Qiao Yuemei rolled her eyes at her silly son and said, "Why are you eating meat during a festival like this? If you want to eat it, buy some and bring it home."
Gu Lin really took these words to heart and was counting on his fingers to calculate when he would get his salary. Would he be able to buy some meat for his family then?
Gu Wan followed suit and suggested, "Brother, when the time comes, you buy the meat and let mom make rice with lard."
Cut the meat into large slices, fry the lard and serve with a big bowl of fragrant white rice, mixing the rice until it is fragrant.
Not to mention eating it, just smelling it can make people savor it for three days.
Of course, the old Gu family would never afford to eat like this in the past. They would usually only make lard during the Chinese New Year.
It takes a long time to use the oil after it is boiled. Now that my sister Wanwan has returned home, our life at home has improved a lot.
Sometimes my younger sister would bring back meat to eat, and only then would my mother make rice with lard for them.
His sister's words gave Gu Lin great hope, and he became more determined to work hard.
Work hard and perform well in the factory to get the appreciation of your leaders, and then you can get your salary.
After receiving his salary, he would buy meat and ask his mother to make delicious rice with lard for them, and then let his sister have a big bowl of it.
Gu Lin not only thought about it himself, but also told his brother about his dream, and then the two brothers drooled over their beautiful dreams. Then, two days later, the two brothers went home together while working, and brought a lot of things with them.
"Grandpa, grandma, mom and dad, this is the reward the factory gave us." As soon as the two brothers got home, they rushed into the yard to announce the good news.
The whole family was confused. These two idiots had only been working for a short time. Why would such a good family give them rewards?
The point is, Qiao Yuemei looked at her two silly sons, and no matter how she looked at them, she couldn't see what abilities they had that were worthy of reward.
There were quite a lot of things, including a big bucket of rapeseed oil, half a piece of pork and a big bag of flour.
The whole Gu family was shocked by so many rewards at once.
It was a whole half-carcass of pork. I had only seen so many people sharing it when pork was distributed during the Chinese New Year in the village.
Nowadays, not to mention people in the countryside, even people in the city only buy meat in small pieces of two or three taels. Only wealthy families would buy several kilograms of pork at one time.
This half-baked pork shocked not only the elders but also the younger generation of the Gu family. They surrounded the freshly baked pork belly, ribs and pig's trotters and drooled.
Then Gu Shu dictated and Gu Lin supplemented, and the two brothers worked together to explain the whole thing to their family.
It turned out that the Shulin brothers were determined to work harder to earn money to buy meat for their sister, so they would go out to check on others after others got off work, and they would do their work very seriously even if it was just to check for deficiencies and fill in the gaps.
Not only did it help the master chef discover a lot of problems, but most importantly, they did their work very carefully.
The key point is that when Gu Lin got up in the middle of the night, he went to check the warehouse and found the thieves, and there was a large group of them.
Then the two brothers bravely worked with the security department to catch the thief and helped the farm tool factory avoid a huge loss.
Moreover, the thieves were a chain crime syndicate. This was not the first time. They had previously stolen many valuable items from the farm tool factory and several other large factories nearby. This time, all the stolen goods were recovered.
In fact, these rewards are not only from the farm tool factory, but also from other factories as a token of gratitude to the two brothers. When added together, the total amount would be so much.
It would be exhausting to walk back with so many things. Li Dajun happened to go to the commune to do some work today, so he helped them bring the things back.
So Qiao Yuemei quickly cut a piece of fat and handed it over, "Brother Li, take it back and let sister-in-law make oil."
"How can this be so embarrassing?" Li Dajun refused, but that did not stop him from looking at the piece of fat meat with stars in his eyes.
Fat is a rare thing these days.
"Every time my children go out, they have to take your car. Big brother Li takes care of my children so much. What is a piece of fat meat worth to you?"
So today's dinner was eaten by the whole family together, and everyone enjoyed it very much.
This is basically the routine of the Gu family now. On weekdays, the three families live their own lives, and the old parents take turns eating with the three brothers.
Whenever we get something good, the whole family will have a meal together.
Of course, these good things are usually brought back by the third room, and it is because of the good cooking skills of Qiao Yuemei and Gu Wan, mother and daughter, that they can make more delicious food.
The families of the eldest and second Gu brothers are not bad-hearted. They will definitely take better care of the third brother's family in other places on weekdays.
Qiao Yuemei did not keep such a large piece of pork to herself and gave it directly to her parents-in-law.
I happened to see an episode in “The Glory of Our Fathers” where Feng Qin’s mother slept in the playground to save money, and I burst into tears... When my father sent me to college, he bought a return ticket for the next day, and he also slept one night in the playground to save money... Unfortunately, later on, the son wanted to take care of his parents but they were no longer there... Dear, please come home often... This is the most fundamental reason why I like period novels, especially why I envy family affection!
