Chapter 67: Whatever You See, You Want

At noon, everyone parked the mule cart in the field beside the official road and started to eat lunch.

At noon, everyone ate dry food. Gu Fei was eating. The eldest aunt waved her hand and called her over, handing her a piece of dried meat, "You didn't eat anything of the rabbit meat yesterday. Baoer took it all. Eating some dried meat will give you more energy to walk."

Often, the eldest aunt liked Gu Fei the most among the four nieces. Gu Fei was the most well-behaved and the most beautiful.

Well, beauty lovers are not divided by age.

Gu Fei was embarrassed. The eldest aunt gave her meat, and she didn't know what to give in return.

While chewing the dried meat, she said, "Aunt, if Juhua can't walk anymore, let her get on my car to rest. Tomorrow I will buy another mule cart, and everyone can take turns to rest for a while."

Juhua looked at Gu Fei and called out hesitantly, "Cousin."

She saw that Gu Fei was about the same age as her, so she was a little embarrassed to call her.

Gu Fei responded crisply and straightened her chest. Well, she is the elder to Juhua.

Here, should I give the younger generation some gifts?

Her things are all modern, so it’s not easy to give.

Gu Fei pretended to reach into her arms, took out a white flour cake and handed it to Juhua, and ran away quickly.

The eldest aunt smiled, "This girl is a simple-minded person who doesn't want others to suffer."

Juhua held the white flour cake in her hand and handed it to the eldest aunt, "Grandma, you eat it."

The eldest aunt shook her head, "You eat it, and share some with your two brothers. The boys eat a lot, and this steamed corn bread is not enough."

After eating the dry food, they continued on their way. They walked faster today than yesterday. In the evening, they arrived at Fuyuan Town mentioned by Uncle Ma.

The town is not big, with two horizontal streets and three vertical streets. As soon as we entered the town, the village chief started to ask an old man, "Brother, where is the cheapest inn in your town?"

The old man smiled and said, "There are only two inns in the town. You have so many mules, so go to Liu's inn. It's at the end of this street. There is a big place there and the price is not expensive."

The village chief thanked the old man, and everyone drove the mule cart there.

Gu Fei didn't ask for a bath today. She felt bad for the water that cost 100 coins a bucket.

She counted the number of people in her family, paid the money for the bunk bed, and the family started to cook again.

But there was no firewood to pick up in this town, so the Gu family spent two coins to buy a bundle of dry firewood to make a fire.

Chen didn't cook meat today, and no family can eat meat every day.

She boiled a pot of water, made a pot of noodles, and found some pickled cabbage and cut it, and put it in to cook together.

Such simple things also made others envious.

Qian looked over here several times. When building the stove today, Gu Erlang had deliberately chosen a place far away from her.

But the yard was so small, and it was clear what each household ate.

There were eleven people in the Gu family, including the old lady and Uncle Ma. One pot of noodles was not enough, so the men and the old lady ate first, and then a second pot was cooked.

Baoer stood by the pot and drooled while chewing a cooked egg, but he didn't dare to reach out to scoop it. After watching for a while, he ran to Qian and shouted, "Mom, I want to eat noodles too."

Qian said unhappily, "Get out, get out, our family can't eat grains for a few days, don't even think about that good thing."

Baoer sat on the ground and started to howl again, "I want to eat noodle soup, I want to eat--"

Qian's mouth twitched, and she couldn't do anything about Baoer. She handed Xing'er a bowl, "Go, go to your second uncle and ask for some noodle soup for your brother."
