"Borrowed food?" Gu Yuehuai's footsteps paused slightly, and her brows were slightly twisted together.

Borrowing grain is not a trivial matter, let me ask, when others drink cabbage and radish soup every day and eat dried sweet potatoes, will their family eat fine grains every day, will it cause any unnecessary riots?

This is also one thing she is very cautious about, it seems that the family building a house is still too high-profile.

"Well, it's Wang Meihua, the one in the cotton factory, she didn't say anything about borrowing grain at first, she mentioned it, saying that she wanted to marry her daughter to me, hehe, Sima Zhao's heart is known to passers-by." Gu Xihuai shrugged his shoulders and said in a slightly mocking tone.

Gu Yuehuai glanced at him in surprise, Gu Xihuai was devoted to studying, and indeed had never had any intersection with women, she originally thought that he was born with this string in his head, but later learned that he just didn't meet the right person.

Thinking of the third sister-in-law who had suffered all the misfortunes in her previous life and jumped from a tall building while pregnant, Gu Yuehuai's eyes darkened, and she only hoped that time would be faster, faster, so that they could be together earlier.

"The eldest brother was still thinking about the villagers, and lent some food to Wang Meihua, I think he is stupid, it's all like this, and he still cares about this? He lent it out today, and it is estimated that our family will be able to surround the brigade. ”

Gu Xihuai's mouth full of hatred is not steel, in his opinion, if there is only one "brainless" Gu Tinghuai in the family, he will definitely not be able to support this family, so fortunately he is there, and he can put an end to those unnecessary troubles in advance.

Gu Yuehuai bowed: "Well, grain can't be borrowed." ”

Gu Xihuai breathed a sigh of relief, he was also afraid that Gu Yuehuai would be soft-hearted, and she hurriedly borrowed food when others came to ask for a few words, this time is different from the past, borrowing food at this time is to set herself on fire, but after all, the food was brought back by her, and he can't say anything.

Fortunately, fortunately, she is no longer the stupid and dull Gu Yuehuai she used to be, and she knows how to measure herself.

Gu Xihuai said: "Big brother listens to you, you have to talk to him when you go back." ”

Gu Yuehuai hummed lightly and pinched her sour wrist, she has a lot of work today, and she has been busy until now.

When I got home, there was an uninvited guest in his teens sitting at the table, who was none other than the stone of the Fan Gen brigade.

As soon as he saw Gu Yuehuai, the whole person jumped up excitedly, and the steamed buns in his mouth were swallowed into his stomach without having time to chew, and his tone was both excited and respectful: "Sister Gu, you're back." ”

Gu Yuehuai was a little surprised: "Stone? It's so late, why are you here? ”

"Hey, hey." The stone scratched the back of her head, and at this time, Bai Mei came out of the back room, holding two eggs in her hand, she smiled, and her expression contained a trace of unprecedented relief: "The stone came to find me." ”

Gu Yuehuai looked at her and said, "I guessed right? ”

Bai Mei was surprised at first, and then admired: "I can't hide anything from your eyes, well, the stone said that as soon as Xu Dongmei went back at noon today, the Bai family began to tidy up their luggage, and hired an ox cart with quilts and pots and pans to leave." ”

She pursed her lips and said with a smile: "They left the Fan Gen Brigade, and it should be difficult for them to come back in the future." ”

The departure of the Bai family is a relief for her, and she can finally live her life in peace in the future.

"Sister Xiaobai, I have to go back, otherwise my mother will be worried." Shi blinked, carefully picked up half of the steamed buns on the table, and didn't want to eat it, stuffed it into his pocket.

Bai Mei shook her head with a smile and handed him the two eggs in her hand: "Take it, pay attention to safety on the way back." ”

The stone eyes were red, he looked at Bai Mei, then at Gu Yuehuai, nodded heavily, turned his head and plunged into the night, the half-grown boy has been shuttling back and forth between several brigades since he was a child, he was not afraid at all, and he ran fast.

The corners of Gu Xihuai's mouth twitched: "This kid, I also said to send him, he runs faster than a rabbit." ”

Gu Yuehuai casually picked up a boiled egg and asked, "What about the eldest brother?" ”

Bai Mei smiled bitterly, took out the hot steamed buns from the pot, and said: "In the back, our father is also here, the workers went back, they felt that they were delayed, so they went back to work, they are really not idle at all." ”

She turned her head and said to Gu Xihuai, "Xihuai, go and call your eldest brother and our father back for something to eat." ”

"I'll go." Gu Yuehuai finished eating the eggs, clapped her hands, turned around and went out of the door, and went to the back of the house.

The kerosene lamp emitted a dim light in the lampshade, Gu Zhifeng and Gu Tinghuai took a shovel and carefully leveled the soil on the foundation, the originally barren back house has changed greatly, it is clean, and it can build a small house.

Gu Yuehuai looked at it a few times and shouted, "Dad, big brother, go back to eat." ”

Gu Zhifeng smiled and wiped the sweat on his face with the towel on his shoulder: "Nan Nan is back." ”

Gu Yuehuai shook his head: "Okay, go back quickly, you have been just sharp for a few days, just tossing like this?" Do you still think you are a young man? Don't build a house that will wear you out, the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Gu Zhifeng saw that she was unhappy, so she smiled and didn't say anything.

Several people returned to the house with kerosene lamps, and the smell of steamed buns came to their nostrils.

Bai Mei made an egg soup and said, "Wash your hands and eat." ”

The family sat around the table, and there was a lot of fireworks.

Gu Yuehuai drank rice porridge, and thought of what Gu Xihuai said when he came back, so he said, "Everyone is here, then I have something to say." You all know the current situation, every family is short of food, and our family can eat enough because I bought a lot of food in advance, but no one knows if the situation will improve this year, so this food can't be moved. ”

"And the robbery caused by kindness in the famine years, the murderous mess doesn't need me to say more, right? Yes, none of us have experienced it, but it's always right to be on guard, and I don't want the Gu family to become the target of public criticism. ”

After Gu Yuehuai finished speaking, Gu Tinghuai lowered his head, obviously thinking of his actions today.

"Big brother, our dad is old, what happened to the third brother and Shao Yu and Shao Li, not to mention Shaotang, you have to take care of the family more in the future, remember, there is nothing wrong with kindness, but you have to learn to look at the situation."

Gu Tinghuai was a little surprised, his eyes were full of emotion, and he nodded: "I know, don't worry." ”

After finishing the business, several people had a discussion about the marriage of Gu Ruihuai and Guan Tong, but when it comes to it, the decision on this matter is also Gu Ruihuai, and whether he wants to get married or not is not something they can control.

Gu Zhifeng sighed and said, "Anyway, we've already gone too far, so be it." ”

Gu Xihuai raised his hand: "I agree, he wants to get married, then let's go over and have a drink then, or don't tie the knot, then everyone will be happy, it doesn't have much to do with us after all, it's all his own decision." ”

Gu Yuehuai had no interest in this matter, and she never expressed her opinion.

She propped up her chin, as if she was out of the world, but in fact, she was secretly thinking in her heart, and she didn't know what was going on on the front line, when Yan Shaoyu would be able to come back, and Feng City, Xing Jian should have already set up the black market, right?
