"Who is my cousin? He wants to be a scholar. Not to mention eating, it is impossible to even look at the things coming out of this mud roll!" Gu Jiu looked at Gu Zhe who was standing by the window and looking over here. Keita said in a loud voice.
"Auntie, you have much more food than we can see with the naked eye. Since you don't want to give it out, we won't give you anything! I'm leaving it behind. If anyone dares to steal it, no matter who it is, I'll beat him up. !”
"Are you determined to eat alone?" Mr. Gu's face was gloomy and he tapped the ground hard with his crutch.
"right!"
Mr. Gu was severely choked, and after thinking for a while, Gu Zheqi forced himself to swallow his breath. Just wait a little, even if he spends all his money, he will definitely let his grandson be admitted as a scholar next year, and then he will definitely let this ignorant girl know what regret is!
"Dad, let's just forget it? If my wife wants to tell her, the whole village will have to come and see it, so she won't be able to get married for the rest of her life!"
"What are you saying? Hurry up and bring the flour into the house!" Mr. Gu scolded Mrs. Zhao sharply and walked into the house with one hand behind his back.
Gu Jiu sneered and watched the excitement without taking it too seriously and continued: "Second aunt, have you forgotten that my cousin and uncle were born in childhood? It's so embarrassing to say this!"
Hearing this, Zhao Xiuer's expression immediately dropped, and she threw the noodles to Gu Youcai unhappily and turned around and entered the house.
Her Xiaoqi can now send money to her family, and Xiaoba can earn a lot of money in the future. Which one is not a living treasure! Tiantianji didn't know what Mr. Gu was thinking, but he only cared about Gu Zheqi. What if you become a scholar? The scholars in the town have never seen how good they are!
Before Gu Youcai could go in with the grain flour, Mr. Gu trotted out in a hurry: "Gu Jiu! Why is there a bag of noodles missing here?"
Gu Youcai was stunned, looked at the noodles in his hand, raised his head and comforted him and said, "Dad, don't worry, the noodles are here!"
"Do you think I'm old and confused?"
Gu Youcai: "...That's not what my son meant."
Mr. Gu took three steps together and walked up to Gu Jiu in the blink of an eye: "I just counted the noodles in there this morning. There are nine and a half bags of noodles in total. Why is it now seven and a half bags?"
Gu Jiu took out the remaining dishes unhurriedly: "You said you read it in the morning, so anyone could go in and get it during this time. Besides, I picked up the bag of noodles when I came out of the house. , I haven’t left your sight the whole time, how can I hide things?”
Zhao Xiuer, who was about to leave after hearing this, suddenly stopped. Mr. Gu wouldn't search every room! Although they didn't steal the noodles, they hid something else. Not to mention the private money saved secretly, the half roast duck Xiaoqi sent me is still not willing to finish!
Mr. Gu was originally sure that it was Gu Jiu who took it, after all, nothing happened for such a long time, but when he saw Zhao's expression, Mr. Gu suddenly became suspicious.
"In this case, let's search every room! Whoever finds it in his home will be deprived of food for three days! Second brother, let's start from your place."
Hearing Mr. Gu's words, Zhao Xiuer immediately panicked: "Let's go to the big room first... No!"
Seeing Mr. Gu walking straight towards their house, Zhao Xiuer looked at Gu Youcai, who was still standing there stupidly, and got angry and kicked her: "What are you standing there for? Why don't you stop your father quickly!"
The so-called concealing the truth, the more Zhao Xiuer intends to intercept her, the more determined Mr. Gu is to check them first. Sure enough, after a while, I found the uneaten roast duck at the bottom of the clothes cabinet.
"Why do these clothes smell like meat? It's the second sister-in-law who secretly hid the meat!" Wang held the meat and said angrily: "Qi'er has been studying until midnight every day these days, and he has lost weight visibly to the naked eye. It’s a big circle. How can you, my second sister-in-law, be so content with eating alone at this time!"
Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu both had dark faces when they saw the meat, but the former was busy looking for noodles, while the latter just accepted Mrs. Zhao's money yesterday and was too embarrassed to speak immediately.
But after several searches, nothing was found.
Mr. Gu frowned and couldn't figure out where this side was hidden, while Mrs. Gu's expression softened a little. Although Zhao Xiuer hid the roast duck, she did not lie about the money and handed over more or less of it.
Zhao Xiuer looked at the roast duck and knew that she couldn't get it back, so she instigated her to check the big room.
Wang was stunned, obviously not expecting that the things were not in Zhao Xiuer's place, and subconsciously thought of her own money, cakes and cloth. I felt panicked for no reason, but then I thought about it, the money was left for Zhe Qihua, and the pastries were also for Zhe Qi to eat. These were all agreed by the old man, and it didn't matter even if he didn't say he wanted to come. As for the scarlet and navy blue cloth, he said that he was preparing new clothes for his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhao did not dare to say anything else!
But after searching for it, no trace of flour was found.
"This thing can't be at Zheqi's place..." Looking at Mr. Gu who was thinking hard, Zhao Xiuer reminded him "kindly": "I have searched everywhere except Zheqi's house, so it can't be..."
"Okay, let's go and do whatever we have to do. I'll go and ask Qi'er personally later. He's studying here, so don't go over and disturb him." After saying that, Mr. Gu waved his hand to signal everyone to disperse.
Zhao Xiuer almost broke her teeth when she looked at the roast duck in Wang's hand.
Mr. Gu's heart is not just biased, it is completely rooted in Gu Zheqi! I called him dad every day and really forgot that he was father-in-law!
"Daughter-in-law, go to the town to find Xiaoqi and ask her to get us some delicious food."
"Eat, eat, eat, you know eat, that roast duck is not ours! We didn't even dare to fart after our stuff was taken away!"
Gu Youcai grinned: "That's my dad, what can I say."
"you……"
In the end, this matter was so mysterious that even though it returned to the way it was before, every time Gu Jiu went out, Mr. Gu would ask Gu Qi, Gu Youcai and others to follow her secretly.
Gu Jiu went to town that day and took advantage of passers-by to hide in a small corner. After Wang walked over, Gu Jiu quickly walked back and took out a pound of meat from the space when he arrived at the entrance of the village.
"Sister, do we want to eat meat?" Gu Jing lay on the stove and watched in surprise as Gu Jiu cut pieces of meat. He couldn't remember the last time he'd smelled meat, let alone eaten it.
"Yes, go get some water and wash two potatoes."
"good!"
Gu Jiu first fried a few pieces of fat meat, then added bay leaves and star anise, sauteed the meat until fragrant, then added the potatoes when they were cooked, and then added water to cover the pot. After a while, the aroma of meat mixed with potatoes came out.
"It smells so good..."
Gu Jing kept swallowing saliva on the side, her eyes kept following the cracks in the pot lid, trying to see the meat inside.
Gu Jiu smiled and opened the lid of the pot, and the aroma immediately filled her nose. She picked up a smaller piece of meat that was almost cooked, and said with a smile: "Xiao Jing, try it and see if it tastes good."
As soon as the meat entered her mouth, Gu Jing's eyes narrowed with joy.
How come there is such a delicious thing! From now on, pastry is not the most delicious thing he has ever eaten, it is meat! It is the meat stewed by my sister!
The fragrance spread quickly and soon drifted into other rooms.
"Mom, I seem to smell meat." Gu Ba said after sniffing his nose.
Gu Youcai patted Gu Ba's head in a funny way: "Dad, you must be greedy for meat. Who can afford to eat meat at this time! It would be good to have food to eat. Some people have already run out of food. !”
"So what? Didn't we survive last year's locust plague? It's not like the court doesn't care about us."
Zhao Xiuer moved a few pieces of rags and tried to piece them together into a new one while saying: "You don't have to think too much. Although everyone didn't save many seeds due to the locust plague last year, the harvest was similar to that of the locust plague. We were able to survive last year." , this year will be the same.”
Just as she was talking, Gu Ba shouted at her: "Mom! Meat, Gu Jiu and the others are eating meat!"
Hearing this, Zhao Xiuer immediately put down the clothes in her hands and stood up and went out. With her were Gu Zheqi, Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu.
"Xiao Jiu'er, where did the meat come from? It tastes so delicious!" Mrs. Zhao eagerly wanted to go over and take a bite, but she was stopped by Gu Jing before she could even walk in.
"Second Aunt, you won't forget what I said that day. If you want to eat meat, you should wait until uncle comes back to eat!"
When Mrs. Gu heard this, she immediately rushed forward. How could this bastard say that she was also her grandmother? If she hadn't given birth to her father, would she be alive?
But Gu Jiu obviously didn't mean to talk to them all. He poured out two-thirds of the meat and potatoes separately and let Gu Jing take them into the house to eat with Ye Qingyi. He sat at the door and took one bite of potatoes and one bite of meat.
The fragrant and soft stewed potatoes are mixed with the aroma of meat wrapped in rich soup. Just one bite will make your whole body feel comfortable.
Gu Jiu was so starved of food and drink that he sat at the door and ate meat for three days, regardless of being beaten or scolded. It made them so hungry that they couldn't sleep.
"Come on, dear grandson, there really are no meat sellers in this town! Grandma's legs are almost broken because of you." Old Mrs. Gu said with a sad face: "Counting the days, your father will be back soon, let's endure it for a few more days." sky."
Gu Zheqi turned away and said nothing, so Mrs. Gu had no choice but to look for Zhao Xiuer again: "Xiu'er, see if you can look for Xiao Qi again and see if you can get some meat. It doesn't take much, it's enough for Zheqi." It’s enough for one person to eat, he’s really exhausted from studying recently!”
"Mom, you can't do it at this time." After hearing the word "Zheqi", Zhao Xiuer refused without thinking. Tired of studying? Half of her roast duck has gone into Gu Zheqi's stomach. What else does she need to replenish?
Exhausted? I think you are greedy!
"Xiu'er, you can't..."
"Okay." Zhao Xiuer didn't want to stop paying attention to the old lady's repeated nagging, so she simply responded: "But I can agree in advance, the probability of this happening is not high!"
"Okay, okay!"
After another two days of this, before Zhao Xiuer's meat came, a villager took the initiative to find it.
"You want to exchange this piece of meat for food?"
