Chapter 156: Let's talk about it face to face

Shi Guixiang was not vague and directly divided the meat into several portions. Of course, the third family got the biggest share, and the eldest and second families also got some.

Then there were the families who had borrowed money due to financial difficulties in the past, especially Gu Baoguo's family, who also received a share of the money.

The debt owed by the old Gu family has actually been repaid, but favors should be remembered. After all, giving and helping each other is the way good neighbors live in unity, friendship and mutual assistance.

Moreover, Shi Guixiang made it clear in front of all the daughters-in-law: "This half-baked pork is a reward from the factory to the Shulin brothers, so do you have any objection to giving more to the third brother's family? We are giving some away to thank the villagers for their care in the past."

In fact, everyone understands the truth, but there are always some strange people who feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, as a mother-in-law, Shi Guixiang always adheres to the principle of asking women to say whatever they want to say to their faces when getting along with them, and any conflicts and disputes can be mediated on the spot.

Otherwise, if you keep it all in your heart, it will hurt yourself over time and it will also easily hurt your feelings.

Dong Xiu'e and Huang Chunlan said in unison: "How could that be? We should thank the Third Brother's family, otherwise we wouldn't have so much meat to eat."

Not to mention the children were happy to see so much meat, even the eldest and second Gu families were extremely happy as well.

I even planned to pickle the meat and save it for the New Year...

Gu Wan happened to hear it and was stunned. What month is it now? There is no refrigerator and he has to keep it until the New Year?
No, even if there is a refrigerator, frozen meat that has been stored for nearly half a year will not be edible, right?
But it seemed that her grandparents, parents, and aunt all agreed with what her eldest and second aunts said. Gu Wan had no choice but to understand. This was the sadness of the times. It seemed that people were living like this these days.

There were quite a lot of ribs that were cut off, but Gu Wan did not use them directly to make soup. Instead, he used a piece of fat to extract oil.

Then fry the whole ribs until both sides are golden brown, then add seasoning and water and stew them again.

Wait until the bones are cooked through and then add carrots and potatoes. It will be an absolutely delicious dish.

By the time Dong Xiu'e and Huang Chunlan each took a large piece of meat back to their rooms, packed it up and came out again, the third brother's yard was already filled with the rich aroma of meat, so everyone began to be unable to walk.

In the next few days, Gu Laosan's family ate meat all the time. Gu Wan even specially made white flour dumplings with meat filling to eat with his parents and brothers.

Of course, they were also sent to my grandparents and my uncles’ homes.

For example, if their family insisted on keeping the piece of meat until the Chinese New Year, although Gu Wan disagreed, it would be difficult for him to object. That was the lifestyle they were used to, so why force them to change?

Besides, unless you promise to send more meat during the New Year, what if they eat the meat now and have no good food to eat during the New Year?
It is true that Gu Wan now has the financial resources to buy a pig and kill it during the Chinese New Year, but she cannot explain where all the meat comes from.

Besides, no matter how much a little help you give, you should be grateful and resentful. In the final analysis, the Hongqi Brigade is too poor, and the most urgent task is to provide a good living standard for the villagers.

Gu Wanze didn't need to worry about so many things. She just needed to say that she wanted to eat and Qiao Yuemei would naturally be willing.

In addition, the family's conditions are much better now. Not only the two elders are freed from debt, but the huge mountain hanging over Gu Zhiqiang and Qiao Yuemei's heads has also been removed.

Now almost everyone in the family can earn money, so Qiao Yuemei has fewer concerns and lets her daughter eat whatever she wants.

The Shulin brothers were so happy every day, thinking that Wanwan was the best sister in the world, no one else! On this day, when Gu Shu and Gu Lin went to work at the farm tool factory, they saw that everyone was very excited. After asking, they found out that this day of every month was the day when the factory paid wages.

For example, these two brothers, although they have only been working for less than a month, they will still be paid last month’s salary.

Gu Shu calculated that the total for the two of them was about thirty yuan.

This was really a lot of money, and the two brothers were very excited.

The two brothers are not young anymore, but they always got full work points when they worked in the production team.

At the end of the year, when the settlement is made, work points can be divided into grain, pork and other things. In any case, those with more work points will definitely get more.

But that was just a little bit, how could it compare to money? It was the first time for the two brothers to earn so much money since they were young.

The two brothers have been looking forward to their first salary in life since, no, since their first day at work.

I didn’t expect that happy days would come so soon!
"Gu Shu and Gu Lin, you brothers are not that old but you can earn money on your own. That's really great." Master Liao looked at the two silly spores and asked with a smile, "Now that you have the money, have you figured out how to spend it?"

Master Liao is the master craftsman with two brothers. Originally, he only needed temporary workers to help, but he was very satisfied with the performance of the brothers Gu Shu and Gu Lin in the past half month.

He is diligent and doesn't talk much when working. He will do anything he is asked to do seriously and will ask and learn if he doesn't understand.

It's true. Master Liao is old now after all. Last time, an accident almost happened when he was maintaining a machine. It was thanks to Gu Shu's careful eyes and quick hands that he discovered something wrong.

Later, after they helped capture that group of thieves, Master Liao became more and more satisfied with these two guys.

The two silly spores shook their heads and answered honestly: "I won't spend it. I'll take it back and keep it for my mother."

Master Liao burst into laughter and looked at the patched old coats on the two brothers. Although they looked energetic, the young men would look good even in old clothes that were washed until they were bleached.

But he still said: "If you ask me, go buy some khaki cloth and make some new clothes."

The two brothers never had new clothes before, but since their sister Wanwan came home, not to mention new clothes, the brothers have become the most handsome guys in the village.

Not only did sister Wanwan get cloth for grandma to make new clothes for them, she also gave them the latest style of Huili shoes in the city. That night when they got the shoes, the Lin brothers washed their feet on their own initiative for the first time before going to bed without Qiao Yuemei's urging.

Well, I would wear new shoes to sleep, take them off when I woke up the next day, and put on old straw sandals to work in the fields.

When Gu Wan found out about this, she was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She told them that shoes are meant to be worn. How could the new shoes have any significance if they were only worn for sleeping?
However, when they were at work, the two guys still did not wear new clothes and shoes to avoid wearing them out.

Naturally, these things would not be casually shouted in the factory, so Gu Shu just smiled and said, "I don't have any cloth coupons, so I might as well give the money to my mother to save."

Come to think of it, they hadn't worn new clothes for a long time. Their family was poor, and even if they had fabrics, they would make them for Gu Shan and Gu Hai.

Then it was passed down, and Gu Bin and Gu Tian wore it next, and after that, the younger brothers Gu Shu and Gu Lin wore it.
