Chapter 227 Gu Qingnan, he is drunk!
Uncle Pei and the others did not stop what they were doing and urged Lingxi and Gu Si to go back to the house.
"It's cold outside, and you two aren't feeling well. Go back first. It will only take a few minutes to unload this little stuff."
The weather is dry and cold now, and the wind is quite strong.
Lingxi had been carefully raised since she was a child, and now Gu Si's body...
Even worse.
Uncle Pei was really worried that they would be cold again.
Pei Jin, who knew what was going on with Gu Si's body, also agreed.
"Don't stay outside. Go make us some ginger soup. Do you have any ginger left at home? When I came back last time, I heard that my uncle donated all the ginger at home. We brought some more this time. It's in the backpack over there."
Pei Jin motioned Lingxi and the others to go and look at the baskets that had just been unloaded at the kitchen door.
Gu Si was helpless. His health was indeed not very good now, but he was not as weak as they thought. He suppressed the cough caused by the wind and nodded.
Lingxi followed Gu Si back to the kitchen obediently. Suddenly she thought of something and stuck her head out again.
"Uncle 2 and Uncle 3, do you want to eat dumplings or wontons?"
Uncle Pei waved his hand: "Don't worry, wait until your father gets off work. We came here after lunch and we are not hungry now." There was not much time left before the factory got off work.
Uncle Pei and the others are indeed not in a hurry.
It's winter now, and the ground is frozen hard, so there's no need to work. The work of digging ditches and repairing canals cannot be assigned to their village. Originally, they had to go into the mountains to hunt, but the situation is special this year.
There has not been a drop of rain since the flood some time ago. In previous years, the mountains would be covered with heavy snow at this time of winter, but so far not even a snowflake has fallen.
The situation in the mountains is not good. The floods and mudslides have caused the prey to flee everywhere. In addition, a lot of animals and plants were destroyed, so there is less food in the natural food chain. The areas that originally occupied the territory can no longer afford it, so they need to expand outward.
Animal expansion is combat.
It was really like the howling of wild beasts, which became more and more restless as they rose and fell.
The hunting team in their village now dares not leave the village at all, and only patrols around the village in three shifts every day.
One of the tasks for Uncle Pei and his team when they came here was to call people. Among the group of men and women who originally came to repair the yard for Pei Yanning and his team, many were from the hunting team.
Since they couldn't go into the mountains this year, they decided to come out and earn some extra money.
The village is in urgent need of manpower now, so we have to call them back.
As the situation in the village was getting tense, it was not appropriate for Mingyang to stay there any longer. Coincidentally, Pei Yanning had almost arranged Mingyang's affairs two days ago, so he asked someone to bring a message to Uncle Pei, and he sent the person back along the way.
However, before Pei Yanning came back, there was some noise outside in the evening.
The canteen can no longer operate.
The food stored in the canteen, the sweet potatoes from the large sweet potato field that Gu Qingnan and Zhao Jianan handed over, and the relief food that came later were all eaten up, and the canteen finally couldn't operate anymore...
A noisy group of people were rushing to the cafeteria to carry things.
In order to support the work in the factory, many people left all their pots, pans, and utensils at home. Now that the group has disbanded, naturally everyone can take back what belonged to them. However, some tables and bowls may have been broken and some may have ended up in someone else's home.
There are only a few things that can be taken back now. The flood originally caused heavy losses to everyone, and now this has happened...
The only thing to be thankful for is that the canteen managed to persevere until the last day of the month, and after midnight, they could take their own food books and go to the grain station to buy food.
It was getting dark when Pei Yanning came back with empty hands. It was obvious that he had no involvement in the cafeteria at all.
When he returned home and saw the yard full of people, he was not surprised, because someone from the security department had informed him when they arrived.
Uncle Pei laughed and said, "I thought you would bring back something." This was obviously a joke.
Everyone in Pei Yanning's family knew what kind of person he was. When he moved to the cafeteria, he had no intention of moving back.
Pei Yanning ignored him and sighed, "We are starting to run out of food. In order to get food in the factory, we won't go to work tomorrow. We will go to the grain station to queue up for food during the holiday."
Uncle Pei Er and Uncle Pei San also felt emotional.
"Food is really scarce now, and the price of food on the black market has also increased a lot. Many people have noticed something and started to buy food at high prices. They buy more and sell less, so the price is a bit scary. The last time Pei Jin and I went there, we found that the price of food had increased six or seven times."
at the same time--
Gu Si and Ling Xi estimated that it was about time, so they started cooking dumplings and wontons, and Pei Jin went to help consciously.
Pei Jin took over the job of lighting the fire and chatted with the two of them: "Your family... No, it's the Gu family. I heard from Pei Fuzhu that their family has relatives coming over. They are from your uncle's family in the next county.
Judging from Pei Bok Joo's attitude, it sounds like she'll be staying for quite a while, so you two should have some idea of this."
He turned his hand and measured the time with Gu Si, indicating that Gu Si should experience it himself.
"It is said that several people came here, including half-grown children and little kids. Pei Fuzhu's words were not very nice, saying things like "extortion" and "encumbrance". Just by looking at these words, you can probably tell what the situation is."
The corners of Gu Si's mouth twitched.
Lingxi also opened her eyes wide in shock.
Good guy!
It was about to be a disaster year, and suddenly this group of people...
Pei Jin sighed: "When we came here, we saw a few unfamiliar people on the hillside. I guess they are the ones digging rat holes and looking for food on the hillside!"
In this weather, all the edible wild vegetables have frozen to death. If we can really find a rat hole, we might be able to get some food out of it, which would be a hope.
Lingxi thought for a while and said, "Wait a little longer. This year during the Chinese New Year, let's replace the gifts for the Gu family with food!"
When Gu Si and Pei Yanning were helping Lingxi sort out her memories, she dug out the memories in her mind and went over them, so she was not unfamiliar with them.
only--
Her first subconscious reaction was still to feel something was wrong, but after thinking about it carefully, she was able to react and was able to continue the conversation now.
Pei Yanning briefly exchanged a few words with his three brothers, and when he entered the kitchen he heard Lingxi and the others talking about the Gu family. He paused and said, "Your third brother is about to get married. I'm afraid he'll have to hold a wedding before the New Year."
Pei Yanning looked a little strange when seeing the surprised expressions of Gu Si and the others.
“It’s still about that piece of residential land across the street.
The girl from the Gu family is quite obsessed with the residential land opposite.
Last night, I made an appointment with Gu Qingnan, and we took a few bottles of Erguotou and drank from them on the playground, and ended up getting drunk. "
He said, "Brother, I did it," and she said, "Brother, you are really nice." Then they hugged each other and started crying.
They did avoid people when they drank, but not too much. After get off work, they found a place near the pool table and drank face to face. Before drinking, they agreed that whoever won would get the housing land.
result……
The two of them were hugging each other and crying late at night, one calling for mother and the other for father, but the fact was that it was a young man and a young girl hugging each other.
Gu Si Lingxi: "..."
!!!
Pei Jin: “…”
