Chapter 258
Lin Shu got up the next morning, came down from upstairs, and saw Gu Yumei sitting in the lobby on the first floor of the guest house.
"Yumei, when did you arrive?"
Gu Yumei stood up immediately and smiled shyly: "Auntie."
Lin Shu noticed The yellow mud on the soles of her shoes asked: "Why didn't you go up and knock on the door when you came?"
Gu Yumei lowered her head and stared at the toes of her shoes, and whispered: "I have been here not long, knocking on the door will disturb your sleep."
Lin Shu gently rubbed her hair, "What a silly girl "Your grandma has already gotten up and will be down soon. Have you had breakfast? If not, come and eat with us later."
When Gu Yumei heard this, she quickly went to bed. She raised her head and glanced at Lin Shu, then lowered her head: "Auntie, no need. I ate a whole grain pancake and an egg when I came here. I'm full."
After that, she remembered Picking up the small package in her arms, "These are the eggs my mother cooked in the morning. She asked me to deliver them to you."
What she didn't say was that her family got up before dawn and cooked eggs and whole grain cakes. .
However, they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to eat the whole grain cake, so they only brought eggs.
Lin Shu had a bag of eggs stuffed in his hand and looked up at the sky outside. The sun had just risen not long ago, "You are here so early. What time did you get up?"
"Five o'clock."
< br>"Actually, we don't lack breakfast here. Let's sleep more in the morning and stop thinking about us."
There are about a dozen eggs in the small cloth bag. It is still a little warm when I get it. It was delivered right out of the pot.
Gu Yumei didn't know how to answer. Whether to send breakfast or not was not her decision.
At this time, Jiang Chaohong came downstairs with Gu Youxing, "Brothers and sisters got up so early? Oh, Yumei is here too?"
Gu Yumei nodded and called: "Fourth Aunt."
"My family Lao Man woke up in the morning and complained that he was hungry. I took him down to have breakfast. Have you two eaten together? "
"I haven't eaten yet, let's go together." Lin Shu took two steps. Seeing that Gu Yumei was standing still, he came back and took her with him to the restaurant.
Jiang Chaohong took six-year-old Gu Youxing and hurriedly followed.
"Yumei, what do you want to eat?"
At the restaurant, Lin Shu saw that the breakfast provided this morning included steamed buns, noodles and wontons.
She ordered a portion of wontons herself.
Gu Yumei shook her head: "Auntie, I came here after breakfast."
"Young people are growing up, how can they be hungry? Just order whatever you like." Jiang Chaohong followed from behind.
She ordered a bowl of noodles and four steamed buns each for herself and her son.
Lin Shu treated her to breakfast, and what she ordered was not polite at all.
Lin Shu asked: "How about you eat wontons with me?"
Smelling the aroma from the stove, Gu Yumei couldn't help but swallow her saliva, but in the end she still couldn't overcome her appetite. Desire, "Thank you, auntie, let's have wontons."
After ordering, a few people found a table and sat down.
Jiang Chaohong said with regret: "Although Yangshi is a small city, the food tastes good, not to mention the fried dough sticks and soy milk I had yesterday. It's a pity that this restaurant does not provide fried dough sticks and soy milk for breakfast."
“Eating too much fried dough sticks in this weather will make you get angry, I think it’s better to take it easy.”
I ate fried dough sticks yesterday, and my throat felt a little dry when I woke up this morning. Lin Shu thought it was okay to eat it once in a while. The body cannot bear to eat it often.
"I want to eat fried dough sticks, Mom, I want to eat fried dough sticks!" Gu Youxing, who was eating fried dough sticks with a bun, suddenly felt that the steamed buns were no longer fragrant when he heard the fried dough sticks.
Jiang Chaohong raised her hand and patted him on the head, "The fried dough sticks are getting angry. Didn't you listen to what your little aunt said? You are not allowed to eat them. I will only eat steamed buns and noodles today."
Children like to eat fried dough sticks. Fried food, Lin Shu pinched his bulging cheeks, "If you eat too many fried dough sticks, your throat will hurt, and you will have eye mucus when you wake up in the morning. Are you afraid that your eyes will be covered in mucus when you wake up in the morning?" Can't open your eyes?"
Gu Youxing was stunned for a moment, and he nodded: "I'm afraid, but what if I still want to eat?"
Lin Shu couldn't help laughing: " You can eat noodles and steamed buns later. When you are full, you won’t think about fried dough sticks."
"Is that so?" Gu Youxing turned to look at Jiang Chaohong.
Jiang Chaohong slapped the back of his head angrily, "Eat your steamed buns quickly and eat more later. It's your aunt's treat today anyway."
When the noodles and wontons were served, Lin Shu opened the small cloth bag and found a dozen eggs inside. He peeled one and put it into Gu Yumei's bowl. He also put one in his own bowl. "Second sister-in-law cooked these this morning. There are at least two for each person. You guys should eat more."
Jiang Chaohong looked slightly stunned when he saw the eggs, "Why didn't you tell me there were eggs? If you knew it earlier, I don’t want steamed buns.”
Although steamed buns are delicious, they are not as good for the body as eggs.
Lin Shu glanced at her and said, "If you can't eat, you can put your portion in your pocket and save it for lunch or afternoon."
Gu Yumei nodded after hearing this: "Fourth Aunt, my mother said that everyone has a share. If you and your brother can't eat, you can keep it as snacks when you are hungry."
As a few people chatted, Wang Suzhen took He Chunru and Li Ling entered the restaurant.
"Mom, we are not waiting for you. You can order whatever you want."
Wang Suzhen nodded with a smile and asked her eldest daughter-in-law to help order a bowl of wontons. She sat down and smiled. Looking at Gu Yumei: "Yumei came in the morning?"
"Well, yes, grandma."
When they recognized their relatives in the provincial capital, Wang Suzhen was very kind to her grandchildren. At this time, Gu Yumei's expression was very relaxed in front of Wang Suzhen, and her attitude towards her was very friendly.
Wang Suzhen felt sorry for her and said: "Girl, don't go out when it's too early. What if you meet a bad guy? If you want to send us something or send a letter in the future, if it's too early or too late, please tell your brother and the others. Come.”
Gu Yumei nodded obediently: "I listen to grandma."
Wang Suzhen thought about it but felt uneasy: "I'd better tell your mother about this. The girl's family must be pampered. There are some things that we should pay attention to even in rural areas. There are no safety issues. It’s a trivial matter.”
Once something happens to a girl’s family, her whole life will be ruined.
Lin Shushen believed that the social security in this era was not good, otherwise, there would be no severe crackdown in another year or two.
After breakfast, they went to the village in the morning to visit the villagers who had taken great care of Brother Gu in the past.
Gu Yumei left the guest house before them because her second sister-in-law asked her to buy something at the farmer's market.
When you leave the city to go to the village, you have to pass by the supply and marketing cooperative.
Wang Suzhen took her daughters-in-law into the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Today we are going to visit some prestigious old people in the village, as well as some brothers who have a good time with the second child. There are six families in total. What do you think you want to buy?"
The current popularity of supply and marketing cooperatives It’s still very busy, and there are many people in the morning.
There were many people standing in front of the counter. Wang Suzhen took her daughters-in-law to the food counter first.
Canned food, candies, glutinous rice sticks, noodles and malted milk powder are all great gifts in this era. When they went in, several people were empty-handed, but when they came out, everyone had a lot of things in their hands.
Meet Gu Yumei at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Duan Hui is here too?" Wang Suzhen saw Duan Hui standing with Gu Yumei and said hello with a smile.
Duan Huihan smiled and said: "Grandma, I met Yumei in the market. Seeing that she carried a lot of things, I wanted to send her back."
Wang Suzhen nodded with a smile. , young people have good energy and are attentive to everyone they deal with. She has nothing to say.
Seeing this scene in their eyes, Lin Shu and Jiang Chaohong looked at each other. At this time, the two sisters-in-law thought of going together.
This man is so attentive to the woman that he can't afford to do it early without any benefit.
The city is about ten miles away from the village. Yesterday, I was riding a tractor back and my buttocks almost split in two.
According to Wang Suzhen's wishes today, the journey is not far, and the weather is good, so I will walk there slowly.
The eldest Wang Suzhen can walk, let alone Lin Shu and the others.
Let's go, take a rest when you are tired, and continue walking when you have rested enough.
It was already past ten o'clock in the morning when we arrived in the village.
Yesterday they arrived in the village and barely left the house. Today they have to visit the elders in the village. Naturally, Brother Gu will lead everyone to visit them one by one.
While traveling through the village, it was inevitable to come into contact with the villagers. Jiang Chaohong gave Lin Shu a gentle poke.
Lin Shu looked at her inexplicably, "Sister-in-law?"
Jiang Chaohong cooed, motioning Lin Shu to look to the left.
Lin Shu didn't know what she meant and looked in the direction she was pointing. The girl who had been with Duan Hui yesterday morning was standing under the eaves, looking at them and wondering what they were thinking.
Jiang Chaohong felt that the two of them knew the same secret. The two were much closer than before, and they spoke more casually, "Brother and sister, you didn't expect it, did you? The girl involved with that boy Duan Hui is actually from the same village. , That boy is too brave, he is making fools of our Gu family!"
Lin Shu agreed very much, that boy Duan Hui was so daring.
Lin Shu sarcastically said: "Two girls from the same village like him. They build plank roads openly and cross Chencang secretly. It's quite exciting." I don’t think I’m honest when I get married, so I think it’s better to break it off as soon as possible to avoid getting hurt later.”
Although Jiang Chaohong had no relationship with Gu Yumei, he did not want his family to suffer.
It’s hard for them to explain this clearly.
Gu’s second brother’s family may be very satisfied with Duan Hui’s future son-in-law. Will they believe it if they say it?
With no evidence and no reason to cancel the engagement, Duan Hui may even deny it outright.
If you meet a cruel person, you might even beat him up, saying that Brother Gu's family dislikes the poor and loves the rich, so he abandons his poor relatives when he recognizes his relatives and becomes rich.
The best outcome would be for Duan Hui and the girl's affair to be discovered, and the Gu family to cancel the engagement openly and honestly.
“It’s better to have rich relatives. I came here yesterday and brought a lot of things, and today I’m carrying various nutritional supplements with both hands. I’m afraid that Brother Gu’s family will really get through.”
The envy in Aunt Chen’s eyes couldn’t be hidden.
She noticed Li Hong next to her and asked: "Girl Hong, your family's living standard has also improved. I passed by your house yesterday and smelled the aroma of meat. How many kilograms did your family buy yesterday? Meat, how much did it cost? Did the Gu family buy more meat?”
Today, Gu Yumei bought five kilograms of meat in the city to entertain her grandma and her party today.
Li Hong looked unhappy, "How much money does my family have? It would be nice to buy some meat and taste it. How can I still have five pounds of meat?"
When Aunt Chen thought about the conditions of Li Hong's family, she also felt that she was overthinking it. He said, "That's true. Anyone who buys five kilograms of meat at a time will not do this."
Li Hong stared at Duan Hui in the team, but he didn't , that fool is just standing in front.
What's more, the most hateful thing is that he has a few more kilograms of meat in his hand today, which is only a lot more than the meat he bought yesterday.
It seems that the Duan Hui family attaches great importance to getting married to the Gu family.
If they didn't pay attention, it would be impossible for the Duan family to dig out the bottom of the box to buy meat for the Gu family.
After visiting the elders in the village, after lunch, Lin Shu told Brother Gu and the others that he wanted to take Gu Yumei to the provincial capital.
Suddenly hit by a surprise, Gu Yumei's head was a little dizzy and she didn't know how to react.
The ones who also forgot to react were Brother Gu and his family.
Wang Suzhen turned her head and asked Lin Shu softly: "Do you want Yumei to work at your place?"
Lin Shu didn't hide it, nodded and said: "Yumei is too young, and her partner in the countryside will get married soon. Yumei has never seen the prosperity of the city. What if she gets married early and regrets it later? I will I thought it would be better to let her go to the provincial capital for a while before getting married. It would be better to wait until she has gained experience and matured before discussing marriage.” Have a deeper understanding.
Not to mention looking back now, I feel a little regretful that I got married too early when I was young and lived a life of daily necessities. I didn’t even live for myself when I was young.
"Then I'll listen to you, let her go to the provincial capital to stay for two or three years and then come back to talk about marriage."
Wang Suzhen glanced at Duan Hui, who was sitting next to him with a nervous look on his face. , slightly sympathizing with him for a second.
It's just sympathy. Her Yumei is only eighteen years old, so it's still too early to get married.
Second Sister-in-law Gu rubbed her hands excitedly, "Of course that's good, sister-in-law, I don't worry about Yumei following you, she will ask you to take care of her from now on."
"I don't agree!"
At this moment, Duan Hui came to his senses. As soon as he voted against, the Gu family frowned slightly when they looked at him.
“Xiaohui, it’s okay to let Yumei go to the provincial capital to see the world. After she gets married, the woman will just hang around the children’s stove all day long. Let her go out and make a mistake while she’s young. No." Sister-in-law Gu persuaded her. Her daughter was her own, so she naturally didn't want her to suffer.
The reason why I got married to the Duan family in the past was to marry the two surnames, and their family's conditions could not be better.
In other words, Duan Hui is actually a veritable spare tire.
And the most terrible thing is that the spare tire does not have the consciousness of the spare tire. During the relationship, he still flirted with others and was annoying.
Lin Shu and Jiang Chaohong didn’t want to bump into each other.
No one knows the inner story of Sister-in-law Gu.
Duan Hui said in embarrassment: "Aunt, it's not that I don't want Yumei to go to the city to have some fun, but we are in love. What should I do if she goes to the provincial capital? I won't see her for a few months or even longer. How can we cultivate feelings in Yumei? "
Brother Gu thought what he said was reasonable and couldn't help but think that you should go to the provincial capital with Yumei to find something to do.
But before he opened his mouth, Mrs. Gu pinched the soft flesh of his waist and twisted it, warning him not to talk nonsense and undermine everyone.
"A man should put his career first. A man who loves his children has no future. Xiaohui, I think you should put your career as the center and don't always revolve around Yumei."
Second Sister-in-law Gu would not make a promise to him, and besides, there were only so many job quotas in the provincial capital, and it would be better to give them to outsiders than to family members.
