Gu Mai quickly covered his mouth, and then said in a low voice. "Understood, this chicken, we have to eat it secretly."

……

Gu Mingkun's speed of work is very fast, and the cabinet is nailed upright. "Now there is no wood to make the door, you can put some things here for the time being, I have measured the size of the medicine cabinet, and when I look back, I will see where there is suitable wood, just do it, and then pull the cabinet door for you." There was also some wood, and I nailed a small dining table where I could eat later! In the future, if the conditions are good in the future, there will be a round table that can be placed on the ground, so that there will be a place to cook more dishes during the New Year's Festival! ”

"The dinner table is not in a hurry, we don't have so much to eat, a small table is enough." Zhao Xiaoli said.

Gu Mingkun smiled. "Just like Wheat said, our days can't be sad all the time, sooner or later the days will get better, and there will be a lot to eat at that time."

"......" Zhao Xiaoli smiled and did not speak.

Those days...... I don't know if I can meet it in my lifetime.

After killing the chicken, and stewing another pot of chicken and potatoes, Gu Mingkun and He Beichen finished eating, and it was time to say goodbye.

Gu Mingkun looked at Zhao Xiaoli. "If you have something at home, you can call me in town, and Wheat knows the phone number at home."

Zhao Xiaoli said. "Now I have a tiled house to live in, and the kang is also newly built, so there is nothing missing, and there is nothing to do. Thank you, when I make money in the future, I will definitely return the money to build the house! ”

Gu Mingkun said very sadly. "Xiaoli, although we are not husband and wife now, we are also relatives, why do you say that it is so raw to pay back the money. Don't even think about paying me back, I won't ask for it. There is still a month and a half left on Wheat's vacation, so let her live here. I'll pick her up when school starts! ”

Zhao Xiaoli handed him another basket of peaches. "This peach was given by the one who came to the doctor in the morning, and it was just picked from the tree. You can share this peach with Xiaohe and take it home to taste. ”

Gu Mingkun did not postpone it. "Good!"

Zhao Xiaoli specially thanked He Beichen again. "Xiaohe, this is no less troublesome for you!"

"Aunt Zhao, don't bother!"

Gu Mai stood aside and didn't say a word of thanks. Zhao Xiaoli couldn't look at it, so she touched her daughter. "You said you kid, why don't you thank you for your little brother!"

Gu Mai smiled. "Mother, I usually trouble Brother He Beichen, I really can't thank you! So, there's no need to be so polite. ”

"Tell me, you kid!"

Before He Beichen got into the car again, he also instructed Gu Mai. "Remember, we have to read books, we have to learn English, and when we go back, we will talk in English."

"You too, don't speak English to me when the time comes." Gu Mai said.

He Beichen would not think that he would be surpassed by her. “……”

When they had gone far in the carriage, too far to be seen, the mother and daughter returned home.

All at once the house became empty and very deserted.

Zhao Xiaoli began to grind the medicine again, as usual.

Gu Mai was thinking about what else he needed at home, and there was a big gathering tomorrow morning.

Zhao Yuhao learned from Zhao Xiaoli how to grind this medicine, which seemed quite simple, that is, rolling the handle back and forth with his feet.

Zhao Xiaoli told him some tricks, but she was not in a hurry to let him do this. "Now you're going to learn how to dry it."
