Gu Qingyao and Gu Jinlin carried the two kilograms of meat home.
Today, the entire brigade was filled with the aroma of meat, so Gu Qingyao had no qualms about making a lot of delicious food.
She stewed the two kilograms of meat and added potatoes to make a pot of stew.
Gu Jinlin's lips twitched when he saw his sister's "wasteful" actions. But when he saw that Gu Yunshen did not say anything, he let it go.
His sister had been in a bad mood for the past two days, so she could eat whatever she wanted!
After the meat was stewed, Gu Qingyao filled almost half of it into a jar and asked Gu Jinlin to send it to the Old Master and Old Madam at the cowshed. She also added a small jar of lard.
Gu Jinlin did not know what to say when he saw all this.
It was not that he could not bear to part with these things, but he wondered when their family had become so extravagant.
His sister had just sent so many supplies to their family two months ago and even bought him an imported watch. Last night, they had prepared a complete set of chicken, fish, fish and eggs. Today, they had cooked the two kilograms of meat. Not only did they send some to the cowshed, there was even lard?
How … how did they get so many things?
"Hurry up. It's time to eat if you're late," Gu Yunshen said.
"Oh!" Since Gu Yunshen had said so, Gu Jinlin obediently went to deliver the food.
By the time Gu Jinlin returned, the food was ready and the family could eat.
There was a portion of stewed meat with potatoes, a portion of stir-fried cabbage and a portion of pork bone soup. The pork bone soup was thick and there were even some shiitake mushrooms in it. It was very delicious!
Gu Jinlin could not believe his eyes when he saw the standard of living.
But it was so blissful to have so much delicious food!
He gobbled down all the food, leaving nothing behind!
It was almost the new year. The meat and grain were distributed and the entire brigade was livelier.
Snowflakes continued to fall from the sky. Gu Jinlin and Gu Yunshen were busy repairing the house.
The Gu family's house was still alright. It was just that it was a little too close to the cowshed. But it had been here for a long time and it was snowing heavily. It had to be repaired.
Gu Jinlin looked at the house and sighed. "Youngest Uncle, when are we going to build a few houses? Living in the cowshed wasn't a good idea! Yaoyao will be able to get married in two years. We can't let her get married from the cowshed, right? "
Gu Yunshen did not speak.
Gu Jinlin continued. "Furthermore, it's still alright in winter. The smell isn't that strong. But when spring comes tomorrow and summer arrives, the smell will be much stronger. Grandfather and Grandmother can't do anything about it, but Yaoyao is the only young lady in our family. It's too much for her to live here."
"If there's no other way, then let Yaoyao come with me! Let's go to the city. The living conditions there are better. We'll have to work in the spring soon. Are you willing to let Yaoyao work in the fields? "
Of course he couldn't bear to!
Gu Yunshen thought about his younger daughter. She was so pretty and tender. How could he bear to let her work in the fields?
In the past, when Yao Yao was still young, the Gu family and Wang Mingtao were actually very close in private. After so many years, Wang Mingtao did not forget the Gu family's nurturing of him in the past, so over the years, he had secretly helped the Gu family a lot.
Yaoyao was a young girl. In the past, they had never let her do any heavy work. At most, she would help others cook in the kitchen. Those were the more relaxing tasks.
But she was after all the granddaughter of a landlord. As she grew up, people would gossip if she did not work in the fields to earn work points.
In this era, it was not popular to pamper girls. Ability was the most important quality for all girls. Women were advertised to be able to hold up half the sky. Sometimes, things changed and women were treated like men …
