Chapter 59: Greedy Little Fei
Gu Rong, the third son of the Gu family, and only he and Li had built an earthen stove next to Gu Fei's house. Gu Zhang came over and frowned, "Third son, you'd better stop cooking. Just eat with my family."
He knew that the third son didn't have much money. The money for the mule cart was taken from Xiao Fei, and his family's food would probably not last for a few days.
Gu Rong hesitated and said, "Second brother, this is not good. I'm afraid that the eldest brother will have opinions."
The eldest sister-in-law can't stand others doing well. I'm afraid she will also think of ways to eat with the second brother's family.
No matter how much money Xiao Fei has, can she afford to eat with such a big family?
Gu Zhang snorted, "I am willing to support my younger brother. Does he care?"
He was a little dissatisfied with the eldest son for what happened today. His wife didn't care and was nonsense all day long.
Gu Rong shook his head, "Forget it, I still have food in my car. When I run out of money, I can only ask my elder brother to give me some food."
Gu Zhang sighed, "It's up to you."
Li Chunhua used alum to clean the water and came to ask Chen, "Mom, what shall we eat tonight?"
Chen didn't even raise her head, "Ask your sister for some rice, we'll eat rice."
Li Chunhua smiled. She could still eat white rice and meat when she was escaping from the famine. This life was more comfortable than at home, but it was a little tiring to walk.
Gu Fei got up and took the rice to Li Chunhua, and scooped some water to wash the wild vegetables.
Gu Zhang then remembered that he hadn't unloaded the car yet, so he quickly unloaded the car and led the mule to the backyard barn to eat hay.
Uncle Ma walked around with his hands behind his back.
But no matter where he went, he always kept an eye on Gu Fei's movements.
Now it seems that except for the unknown origin of her silver, Gu Fei seems to be no different from other little girls.
Gu Qing and Sanlang came over quickly with a large bundle of dry branches. There was a drought at that time, and there were not many other things, but many dead trees, and firewood was all over the ground. There was a lot of firewood, and some was shared with the uncle's family next door.
Gu Fei looked carefully. Although the men of each family also helped, none of them really cooked. It was still the women who cooked.
After a while, the yard was filled with various aromas.
The aroma of rice, the aroma of cornmeal, the aroma of various grains, and even the smell of bacon.
Gu Fei followed the aroma and found that her aunt was frying a pot of unknown bacon.
The yellow flames rose high, and her aunt sprinkled a handful of garlic, and the pot sizzled with oil, and the aroma became stronger.
Seeing Gu Fei swallowing her saliva beside her, her aunt smiled, "This is smoked rabbit meat. Your uncle-in-law shot a rabbit on the mountain and smoked it with pine needles. It will be fried in a while. You can serve a bowl over."
Gu Fei waved her hands repeatedly, "No, aunt, your family can eat it yourself." After saying that, she ran away quickly.
How embarrassing! She is no different from those kids who are greedy for her candy.
Chen chopped the meat, added some salt and seasonings, and started to put meatballs into the boiling pot.
The meatballs soon floated up one by one, and the fragrance was really tempting.
In less than half an hour, almost every household had prepared dinner.
Chen took a few bowls and started to scoop the broth.
She scooped a bowl and handed it to Gu Fei, "Take it to your aunt's house."
Gu Fei hurriedly took the bowl over.
Seeing the broth, the aunt smiled and poured the broth into her own bowl, and then picked up the chopsticks to scoop the rabbit meat into Gu Fei's bowl.
Gu Fei was really greedy, and pretended to refuse a few times. Seeing that the aunt had almost scooped half of it, she quickly snatched the bowl, "That's enough, aunt, if you give me more, your family will not have enough to eat."
She thought about it, took out a steamed bun from her arms and handed it to the aunt, "You eat."
