When Muning woke up in the morning, the sun was already very high. It took her a long time to realize that there was someone missing next to her.
"It's early in the morning, where is the person?"
It won't disappear again.
She got out of bed, put on her shoes and left the bedroom. She walked to the living room and found steamed buns, fried dough sticks and soy milk on the dining table, as well as a note under the rice bowl.
[I'm going out for a while. ]
The words are strong and powerful, the momentum is like a rainbow, the words are like the person, and they are very similar to the man's arrogant face that looks down on everyone.
"Didn't he just go to school for a few years?" The handwriting was surprisingly beautiful, which made Muning inexplicably like it.
She couldn't bear to throw the note away, actually folded it and put it in her pocket, then went to the kitchen to wash her face and brush her teeth.
There was a pot on top of the briquettes, and the water in it was still warm. She poured a ladle of water into the washbasin, and poured another cup from a ceramic cup to rinse her mouth.
In fact, it was the same with water from the well in summer, but she still liked the man's unexpected thoughtfulness.
After all, we would have to get along with him for a long time in the future. If his behavior and habits were really bad, she would not be able to live with him even if she returned to her original grandma's house.
After washing up, Muning slowly returned to the living room and started eating breakfast. As soon as she finished eating a bun, she heard the sound of the door being pushed open.
I just looked at the man carrying a bamboo pole on his back, holding two live chickens in one hand and a fish in the other.
Well, they just ate fish yesterday!
Gu Lin glanced at Mu Ning who was having breakfast. Without saying anything, he went directly to the kitchen and took out all the dishes.
She quickly followed with the fried dough sticks, "Why did you buy the chicken? Do you want to kill it yourself?"
"The old man said that you need to eat chicken during confinement." So he bought it and planned to raise it until Muning gave birth to a child.
"You can kill one if you want to eat it."
Seeing her staring at the live chicken, Gu Lin thought that she had been craving meat.
Without waiting for Muning's reply, he took the kitchen knife and understood a chicken's life in one second.
"Ah! Why are your hands so fast!"
Muning screamed.
The man looked surprised, and the next second he heard her say, "Why don't you get a bowl to catch the blood? Don't you know chicken blood is also a dish?"
Muning quickly went to get a bowl and put it to the chicken neck, feeling distressed. This was 1993, an era where economy was important in everything.
"You're so wasteful."
"..."
The man really couldn't figure it out. Although he didn't go home in the past, he gave Muning a lot of money every month. Seeing that she didn't want to go out, he also often bought meat and vegetables home. How could she be so greedy for a bowl of blood? Can't bear to part with it?
But he didn't know that Muning, who had changed the core, was so hungry for the original chicken without any feed.
In future generations, if you go to the vegetable market, you won’t be able to buy this local chicken, okay?
For many years, she has been eating science and hard work.
So can you not feel sorry for this original bowl of blood?
"Okay, it's good to have half a bowl left." Mu Ning returned to the kitchen happily, and then added a lot of water to the pot.
"The water is boiling. You will pluck the hair later. Should we braise this chicken or make soup?"
Drool, drool, no matter what, it tastes delicious.
"You decide."
"Hey, I ate spicy fish yesterday. Let's make chicken soup today. I don't have pickled radish at home. I'll go to Aunt Zhou's to get some later."
Muning held his face and glanced at the fish, "The fish should still be spicy. The oil from yesterday hasn't been poured out yet, so you can use it again."
If you can save, don't waste.
"Can you do carpentry? You need to make a chicken coop, otherwise the remaining chicken will poop all over the yard."
After all, she grew up in the city, so she really doesn't know how to raise chickens.
"Yes, I'll do it in the afternoon."
People in this era basically know how to do carpentry, and Gu Lin can certainly do it.
After a while, the water boiled. Gu Lin sat on the stool and listened to Muning's ramblings. He found it very pleasant, and his hands moved much faster. Seeing her talking about it, he started to do it himself. Stopped her sideways.
"Your hand is injured, let me fix it."
Plucking chicken feathers is a job that requires patience, so Muning took a stool and sat next to the man.
She held her face and looked at him quietly.
The man wore a floral shirt and wide-leg pants today. This outfit seemed outdated to her, but it was a popular look at the moment.
Gu Lin is really good-looking, even better-looking than described in the original book.
His skin is not as white and glowing as that of a pretty boy. His wheat complexion makes him look more masculine. As for his figure, if you look closely, you can see he has wide shoulders and narrow waist, and long legs.
Tsk tsk tsk, if you become a celebrity idol in the future, you should be able to gain a large number of female fans.
Muning didn't know that her naked eyes made the man in front of her move slower and slower, and his ears even slowly started to turn red.
"Mu Ning, go boil some water."
The man choked out a hoarse sentence.
"Mu Ning!"
"Ah..." Muning suddenly woke up from the male lust.
Damn, she was actually fascinated by the man.
It's so embarrassing.
"Boil the water, boil the water, right? I'll go right away." You must not let the man know what she just did!
Even if Muning ran away, she would not know that after she entered the kitchen, a smile appeared on the man's lips.
Stewing chicken soup seems very simple, but making it delicious is difficult, but this did not trouble future generations of Muning.
She has compiled a set of chicken soup recipes of her own from many bloggers, and her favorite is to add a few soaked pickled radishes to the chicken soup.
The taste is fresh with a little sourness, and the sourness is also a little sweet. If you have a bowl in winter, your whole body will feel hot.
Summer? Although it lacks a little feeling, for the sake of gluttony, this can be ignored.
After the chicken soup pot is placed on the honeycomb coals and simmered, the fish is put into the pot again.
Muning was lighting a fire today, and the light from the fire made her whole face turn red. The man glanced at her and said, "It's hot in the kitchen. Go back to the bedroom and sit for a while."
"Sitting alone is boring." She waved her hand and disagreed. She stood up and watched the chicken blood solidify. She would add it to the spicy fish later. It must taste good.
A fish and a chicken, two people seem to be too many.
"Gu Lin, is there too much food? Do you want to ask your brother to come over for dinner?"
Muning's words caused the man's hand to stop for an instant, and he looked at her in disbelief.
"You want to invite them to your house for dinner?"
"Aren't they your brothers?" Muning was a little surprised by the man's words and looked up at him. "I met them on the street that day. They were very nervous but you didn't say anything. They were also very concerned about our relationship."
"Anyway, if you don't finish it, it will go bad easily, right?"
"Oh, you turn the fish over, it's almost mushy."
This man can't boast, otherwise he will lose his temper.
"Go ahead and light the fire. I'll do it. Don't ruin my fish." Muning angrily sent the man to the earthen stove.
She didn't realize that when she muttered, 'confused', 'confused', the man was looking at her.
There was shock and confusion in his eyes. She was not like this before.
Although she was afraid of him and her voice sounded like a mosquito when she spoke to him, she always looked at him with disgust at the brothers who came to see him.
It seemed like his brother was the one who instigated him not to come home. She didn't want to blame him, so she blamed outsiders for all the reasons.
Gu Lin has been helpless since childhood and started to make a living in his teens. This society is more cruel than he imagined. Without those brothers, he would have been beaten to death by homeless people long ago.
They need to huddle together for warmth and help each other.
Muning hated his brother. He had nothing to say and didn't want to explain anything. He could only try his best to prevent them from meeting each other. But he didn't expect that one day Muning would say that he could take them home to have dinner together.
"At this point, they probably haven't eaten yet. Just go and call them. I'll make some cold noodles. What do you think?"
Yes, cold noodles are a perfect match in summer.
"good."
Gu Lin got up and just walked to the kitchen door when he was stopped by Muning again. His newly warmed heart became cold again...
"Gu Lin!"
"Um……"
"The brothers I'm talking about don't include Qin Sheng and his girlfriend." If she dared to take the male and female protagonist home, she would go straight to the spatula.
"Let me tell you clearly, I don't like them, I don't like them very much. You can't bring them home." Muning raised his neck and said.
Anyway, she made up her mind to stay away from the male and female protagonists. As long as she and her children were safe and Gu Lin would not turn evil, the male and female protagonists could do whatever they wanted.
Gu Lin's eyes trembled. He didn't want to call Qin Sheng. Their relationship had not been so good for a long time.
"I know."
Muning felt relieved when he heard the man's answer.
"Well, go ahead."
The man wanted to stop and looked back at Muning who was busy, and said softly.
"Thanks……"
