Gu Changning closed the door again and carried the pheasant back to the stove room.

"Where's the pheasant?" Gu Huai'an was startled when he saw it, but he quickly understood, "Uncle He gave it?" ”

"Hmm." Gu Changning said distressed and depressed, "Uncle He said that Daddy took care of him very much before his death, so he sent a pheasant to our family to replenish his body, I don't think it's good to take other people's things empty-handed, I just said that I went to A-Niang to ask for silver, Uncle He stuffed the pheasant directly to me, turned around and ran away quickly, like I am a jackal, tiger and leopard." ”

Gu Huai'an smiled when he heard this, and said, "Since it is Uncle He's kindness, you can take it, go back and tell A-Niang, A-Niang will not blame you." ”

"I'm not afraid that A-Niang will blame me, but I just feel awkward." Gu Changning put the pheasant that could no longer move in the corner of the stove room, and pouted slightly.

In his previous life, Uncle He did not come to send pheasants to their family, and it can even be said that in the two years from the news of Daddy's death to the time she followed the prefect's family to Beijing, Uncle He almost never appeared, but this time he sent a pheasant to their family after seeing them on the mountain road, which made her feel uncomfortable.

If Uncle He really wanted to thank Daddy for his help during his lifetime, then why didn't he help their family in the previous life, didn't help them in their most difficult times, and why did he change his mind in this life?

Isn't the help of Daddy in the previous life called help, but only in this life?

Gu Changning didn't make sense no matter how he thought about it, and frowned at the moment.

Seeing her tangled look, Gu Huai'an said funny: "If you feel embarrassed, if we have anything in the future, we will send it to Uncle He." ”

Gu Changning knew that Gu Huai'an had misunderstood, but she couldn't tell the things of the previous life, so she had to nod her head at the wrong point, no longer dwell on this, rolled up her sleeves and started working.

"Is this pheasant still angry?" Gu Huai'an looked at the pheasant lying in the corner of the wall whose fate was unknown, and asked, "Or do you want to do it tonight?" ”

"Of course I did it tonight, and the pheasant was already out of gas when Uncle He gave it to me."

"Okay." Hearing this, Gu Huai'an unceremoniously boiled the boiling water and prepared to start plucking.

"It's a pity that the chicken blood, if it's alive, you can still release the blood to make a block, so it's another dish." Gu Changning was also helping on the side, and said with regret on his face.

Gu Huai'an listened to her sister's words, and couldn't laugh or cry at her careful calculation, and finally just shook her head and muttered to herself.

Because of this accident that happened temporarily, Gu Changning went to the backyard to pluck a few green onions, and told Yang Huiyun about it by the way.

Yang Huiyun's reaction after hearing this was the same as Gu Huai'an: "Since people are kind enough to send us a pheasant, accept it, then accept it, and remember to give them a share of what our family gets in the future, don't forget." ”

"Don't worry, I know." Gu Changning nodded.

If it was Aunt Chunhua and Aunt Wang who sent the pheasants today, she wouldn't care so much.

After all, a few aunts are good friends with A-Niang, and she can still accept it if she occasionally helps their family.

But Uncle He couldn't figure it out, he didn't have a very close relationship with their family, that is, Daddy had helped him dig traps several times, and most of the time the two families didn't move, which made Gu Changning feel uncomfortable this afternoon.

Gu Changning shook her head, thinking that maybe she was thinking too much, she took the fresh vegetables and a few green onions she had just picked and went to the stove to cook.

……

"How much did you get back from this hunt?" In the gloomy room, an old woman with gray hair said coldly.

She sat on the kang on the east side, sewing clothes in her hands, and when she saw her old man coming back, she only glanced at him obliquely, and did not make any movements.

"There are a lot of animals hunted, but there are few expensive ones, all of them are bargains." The person who spoke replied as he walked into the house, this person was Uncle He who had just sent a pheasant to Gu Changning's family, he patted the dust on his body, walked straight to the table of the four immortals and sat down, reached out and poured himself a glass of water, moistening his throat.

"Then you have to hurry, the shopkeeper can be urged, people are anxious to have big prey to attract guests, saying that it's okay to say how expensive it is, as long as you have it in hand, he has it all, but this is a time limit, if it's too late to ask for other prey, I can't spare you!" The old woman saw his unhurried look, and said coldly.

"Okay, okay, I remember everything, isn't it every day to find new prey, what's the hurry." Uncle He didn't care about Aunt He's harsh words, and still looked like she was gentle and spit out, which made her angry when she saw it.

"Am I in a hurry! The shopkeeper is urging three times and four times, are you seriously looking for it?! Aunt He's emotions exploded suddenly, and her emotions were mixed with a little resentment, "If you weren't so incompetent, how could my tiger die!" You killed him! ”

"Alright! How long has it been since this happened, you have been reading it, I have said it, Huzi died of illness! When Uncle He heard this complaint, he finally couldn't help but darken his face and said sharply, "He has been dead for more than ten years, and he doesn't know where he went to, what's the use of you being sad here!" Do you think you're the only one who is sad! I'm not the child's father, am I? Am I not upset? But the tiger is gone, you have to recognize this! ”

"Phew, recognize that?" Aunt He raised her head suddenly, stared at him with a pair of eyes, and said fiercely, "If you hadn't talked about brotherhood and gave him all the silver, how could Huzi die because he had no money to see a doctor, what did you make me recognize?" Do you know how you bastard killed my son?! ”

When Uncle He heard this, his lips moved, and the breath in his chest disappeared at once, and he stood there for a long time, and finally turned around and left the room without speaking.

Aunt He looked at the room that had returned to silence, and after a while, she swept all the sewing baskets and clothes in her hands to the ground, and the small desk on the kang was also kicked aside by her, her chest was panting heavily, her eyes were red and staring at the room, her face was full of gloom.

"Ning Ning's cooking skills are getting better and better, and tonight's fried chicken is delicious." Gu Huai'an ate the fried chicken nuggets in the bowl, and said with a light in his eyes.

"That's, it will be better in the future, brother, just wait!" Gu Changning nodded unceremoniously in acknowledgement.

Her cooking skills were all learned from the chef in the small stove room in her previous life, and she dare not say that she is better than the chef of the restaurant outside, at least she can beat the invincible opponents in the village.

Gu Changning is now occupying the stove room and refusing to let it, in order to have a reasonable explanation for improving his cooking skills, and now that A-Niang is pregnant, she has begun to react to the fumes, so she will contract everything for cooking.

When Ah Niang gave birth to her younger brother and took over the stove again, even if she exposed her cooking skills, she didn't have to worry about being suspected by Ah Niang and her brother.
