Gourmet pastoral: the clever mother raises the cute baby

Chapter 10
Gu Yunqing was taken aback, then smiled wryly, "Don't make fun of me, Aunt San, I didn't fight a few battles when I joined the army. Now that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, the imperial court dismissed us. We are in charge of food and housing on weekdays, so No money was given."

After hearing Gu Yunqing's words, Mrs. Zhang's smile immediately collapsed, "I'd rather be a farmer than a soldier on the spot, hum." After speaking, she walked towards the inner room with her sewing basket in hand.

When Gu Shengcai saw his mother-in-law's virtue, he couldn't hold back his face, "Yunqing, don't worry about it, your third aunt..."

"Yunqing knows, third uncle, you don't need to explain. It's normal for third aunt to be angry. I've been away for four years, so it stands to reason that I should come back with something." Gu Yunqing interrupted Gu Shengcai's words, without the slightest emotion in his tone exposed.

After hearing this, Gu Shengcai was relieved, "Yunqing, you can live here at ease tonight, and I will go back with you tomorrow morning, don't blame Xiaoyu, she is a woman with a child , it's not easy."

"Child? Did Xiaoyu have a baby?" Gu Yunqing didn't listen to Gu Shengcai's previous words, only hearing the word "children", he raised his spirits and asked excitedly.

"Yes, he is a fat boy named Yuan Bao. If you don't write home, we don't know how to send it to you, so the news will be delayed." Gu Shengcai stroked his beard and took a sharp puff of the dry tobacco in his hand , Exhaled a foul breath.

Gu Yunqing couldn't hold back the smile on his face at the moment, wishing he could fly home immediately, but Xiaoyu didn't know him anymore, hey, let's talk about it tomorrow morning.

The two talked for a while, both of them were a little absent-minded, so they exchanged a few casual greetings and went to sleep.

Gu Shengcai returned to the back room, Mrs. Zhang was sitting on the kang embroidering flowers, when she heard footsteps, she raised her head and said in a low voice, "I don't believe he has no money, hmph, I just don't want to show respect to your third uncle."

Gu Shengcai turned around and closed the door, went to Mrs. Zhang, took off his shoes and sat cross-legged on the kang, and said, "Then what can we do, we have never helped Xiaoyu mother and child, how dare you ask Yunqing for money."

"I said you are just a wooden fish head." Mrs. Zhang put down the needle and thread in her hand, and poked Gu Shengcai angrily, "You are an elder, and it is the duty of the younger generation to respect you. Who said we didn't help? On the day Xiaoyu gave birth to the baby, the old lady gave me two eggs, and the dog ate them?"

"You still have the nerve to say, didn't you break the chicken in your arms?" Gu Shengcai glared at Mrs. Zhang, "If Yunqing's daughter-in-law complains first, tell me, where will I put my old face!"

"Bah, she dares, anyway, the eggs were round and round when I sent them, and the shells were neither rotten nor smelly, so I don't care." After Zhang said, she put the sewing basket on the edge of the kang, and walked slowly. Taking off his coat, he continued, "I don't believe you go back with him tomorrow, he really dares not give you a little money."

"Enen, please do." Gu Shengcai saw Mrs. Zhang sitting there, he didn't care what she said, and grabbed Mrs. Zhang in his arms. Mrs. Zhang was only in his early thirties, so he looked different beauty.

Mrs. Zhang shyly coyly said, "You damn ghost, it's nothing serious." After finishing speaking, the two got entangled.

Before dawn, the roosters in the village began to crow. Tian Xiaoyu's sleep was light, but after such a noise, she couldn't sleep anymore. Rubbing her sleepy eyes, Tian Xiaoyu thought to herself, if there is a condition in another day, she will definitely Make earplugs!

Turning around to see Yuan Bao's lovely sleeping face, with glistening saliva still hanging from the corner of his mouth, Tian Xiaoyu's displeasure instantly disappeared, kissed Yuan Bao's forehead lightly, and wiped off the saliva from the corner of his mouth with his hands, Tian Xiaoyu Only then did Xiaoyu put on his clothes lightly and stood up.

After everything was packed, Tian Xiaoyu opened the door and saw that the outside was gray. Tian Xiaoyu closed the door and ran to the kitchen. He used a wooden spoon to wash his face and mouth. The water was still cold after leaving it overnight, and there were no towels. Wiping her face, Tian Xiaoyu gently patted her cheeks with water droplets, hoping that the water could be absorbed by the skin, anyway, that's how she washed last night.

Fortunately, there is a kerosene lamp in the kitchen, which is at the innermost part of the stove. Tian Xiaoyu lights up the oil lamp with a torch, and then prepares to burn firewood and cook rice. The three small pots are mixed with water, and after cleaning, one pot Use the remaining half bowl of corn Zhenzhen to add water and boil it into a paste. The remaining sliced ​​bamboo shoots and peppers are fried together in another pot, and there is a small iron pot with cold water on it.

Although I found a small jar of miso in the kitchen last night, it looked dark and smelled bad, so Tian Xiaoyu didn't dare to eat it.

When the corn paste in the pot was boiled thick, and the sun was showing a little bit in the sky, the sunrise was the fastest, and it would be three poles in a day, Tian Xiaoyu removed the firewood from the stove, and kept it warm with residual sparks In the pot, wash your hands and prepare to go into the house to wake up Yuan Bao.

As soon as he walked to the door, he saw Yuan Bao standing in front of him, "Mom, what delicious food did you cook?"

"You just know how to eat. Your small arms and legs are pretty good. You can even dress yourself." Seeing that Yuan Bao had gotten up, Tian Xiaoyu went back and scooped a spoonful of warm water from the small pot to wash Yuan Bao.

"Mother, I have always dressed myself." Yuan Bao rinsed his mouth with water and wiped his face.

Tian Xiaoyu looked at the crystal on Yuan Bao's face, put the wooden spoon on the stove, ran into the house and took out the small square towel washed for Yuan Bao last night, wiped his face before saying, "I know you are capable, go sit down in the main room, it's time for breakfast."

Yuan Bao nodded, turned around and walked towards the main room, Tian Xiaoyu scooped two bowls of corn paste from the pot and brought them into the main room, and then went into the kitchen with a plate of vegetarian fried bamboo shoots. After eating a few mouthfuls, I heard a knock on the courtyard door again.

In broad daylight, Tian Xiaoyu wasn't afraid anymore, told Yuan Bao to eat obediently, stood up and went out to open the door, and opened the courtyard door a little nervously, before he had time to look around, he saw a middle-aged man standing in front of him cheerfully, " Xiaoyu, why did you open the door, you made Yunqing anxious."

Gu Yunqing?Is this man in front of you Gu Yunqing?Why are you so old?No wonder, no wonder you have to spend money to buy a daughter-in-law, who is willing to marry such an old girl!But the sound was not so old last night.

Looking at Tian Xiaoyu's stunned look, Gu Shengcai thought to himself, is this sick and stupid?
"Xiaoyu, what are you doing at the door? Why don't you invite third uncle in?" Although he was a little puzzled, Gu Shengcai still looked at Tian Xiaoyu with a shy smile.

Third uncle?Isn't it Gu Yunqing?Why did he become the third uncle again?
Tian Xiaoyu turned her body awkwardly, and smiled sarcastically, "Why, I'm so happy that the third uncle rarely comes to the house." Tian Xiaoyu thought about it, and realized that Gu Shengcai belonged to Gu Yunqing Uncle Santang, the head of Yushu Village, has no contact with his family at all, because he has never visited the door since Gu Yunqing left.

Gu Shengcai was relieved when he heard Tian Xiaoyu say that, turned his head and said behind him, "Yunqing, seeing your wife, why don't you speak? Are you dumb?"
