Chapter 443 Zhao Dong buys food again
At this time, let alone Zhao Dong, everyone present had a face full of joy for the harvest. Old Yang was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth and said to Zhao Bei, "You are young and fast, you drive the donkey and go back with Zhao Dong, and I will stay in the field to help."
"Okay, I'll go back with you." Zhao Bei said as he took the reins of the donkey cart.
Gu Qingqing also took the opportunity to say, "I'll go back too. I'll go home to cook. Wenruan, are you going to go with me to take care of your sister and cousin? Or are you going to stay here and take care of them?"
Her last words were obviously addressed to Wenrou.
Wen Ruan didn't even think about it and said loudly, "Mom, I'll stay here. I won't go back yet."
"Mom, can you cook by yourself? Otherwise, I'll go back with you." Wen Xin's worried eyes fell on Gu Qingqing's belly.
"It works."
"No."
Gu Qingqing and Wen Shengxi said it almost at the same time. It was Wen Shengxi who said the word "no". Seeing that she bumped into her sister, she interrupted and said, "Sister, let Wen Xin go back with you to help. There are so many people in the fields, we can handle it."
Gu Qingqing saw that there were indeed quite a few people in the field, so she didn't refuse and nodded.
While her sister was talking to Zhao Nan and the others, Wen Shengxi hurriedly whispered a few words to Wen Xin.
"I understand, auntie. I'll go find my aunt when I get back." Wen Xin nodded.
It turned out that Wen Shengxi was worried about her elder sister working in the kitchen, so he told Wen Xin to go to the backyard and call her elder sister out to help in the kitchen.
......
On the way, Gu Qingqing did not ask about the food, but the first thing she did when she got home was to run to the room where the food was stored.
Wow, I saw six 50-jin sacks on the ground, one bag of white rice, one bag of brown rice, two bags of millet, and two bags of sorghum.
Wouldn't this cost at least three taels of silver?
Gu Qingqing found Zhao Dong and started to blame him. It was just that there was food at home, so why did he buy these things?
Zhao Dong smiled and said, "Today I came across a grain store that was clearing out its stock, so I bought some back. Besides, it doesn't matter whose food it is, the boss doesn't need to worry about it."
"You said last time that you wouldn't buy it again!" Gu Qingqing said.
"Ah? Really? I forgot!" Zhao Dong laughed.
"Sister-in-law, just accept it. We will have good things to tell Brother Wuyan when he comes back." Zhao Bei smiled foolishly on the side.
She couldn't ask the other party to return the item since she had already bought it, so she could only accept it first and think about other options later.
After finishing the work here, she hurried to the backyard. On the way, she had already thought about making a potato feast in the evening, which naturally included stewed chicken with potatoes.
Seeing that the slaughtered chicken had not yet been put into the pot for stewing, I just told Xiaocao and she took one away.
"Qingqing, are you back from the fields?" Geng Chunhua, who was busy in the backyard, greeted her when she saw her.
Gu Qingqing smiled and nodded, "I'll follow the car back to cook first, they are still busy in the fields."
"Oh, the car is back. Come on, I'll help unload the goods."
Gu Qingqing thought about the large amount of potatoes on the truck and the fact that the truck was in a hurry to go to the fields. She did not refuse. "Okay, let's go."
After Wen Xin, the clever girl, saw her mother and Geng Bo's mother leave, she said to Lu Xiaocao, "Aunt, my aunt said that mother must be exhausted after digging a lot of eggs in the field today. Please go to the front yard and help us."
When Lu Xiaocao heard this, she put the remaining two chickens into the pot, left only one piece of firewood on the stove, covered the pot with the lid, and ran towards the front yard.
Gu Qingqing put the chicken in the kitchen first, while Zhao Dong and Zhao Bei were already carrying potatoes to the gatehouse.
Lu Xiaocao, who followed Geng Chunhua, saw that she was also carrying a sack of potatoes and walking towards the gatehouse, so she hurried over to lend a hand.
Gu Qingqing couldn't help and could only cheer them on from the side.
She had made up her mind and would bring a basket over to Geng Chunhua for them to try.
......
There was steaming white rice in the pot, and Gu Qingqing was going to reach for the smoked meat that was hung on the beam in the kitchen at the end of last year.
"Sister, I'm coming."
Gu Qingqing prepares to chop the chicken...
"Sister, I'm coming!"
Gu Qingqing is going to wash the bacon...
"Mom, I'm coming!"
Gu Qingqing went to wash potatoes...
"Mom, I'm coming."
Gu Qingqing was just getting ready...
"Ah..."
Gu Qingqing sighed, "You two are not done yet, are you? Come on, come here, let me see how you are going to burn it!"
After Gu Qingqing finished speaking, she folded her arms and sat down on a small stool, looking at the two people in front of her as if she was watching a show.
Wen Xin gave Gu Qingqing a naughty smile and said timidly, "Mom, I only know these, I don't know anything else!"
Lu Xiaocao pursed her lips and smiled, and had to call out "Sister."
Seeing that the two of them had stopped making trouble, Gu Qingqing took the knife and started to attack.
Hot and sour shredded potatoes, bacon and chili potato slices, braised chicken with potatoes, braised potatoes, three fresh vegetables, cold cucumber salad, cold preserved egg salad.
Before dark, five carts of potatoes of various sizes and an extra-large cart of potato seedlings were all pulled back.
There is nothing unimportant in a farmer's home. When the potato vines are brought back, the livestock will eat them.
Gu Qingqing hurriedly told everyone to wash up and eat. After they washed up, they looked at the table full of dishes, and Zhao Bei cried out in greed.
They only ate earth eggs once, which were the leftovers that Gu Qingqing left behind when they were sowing seeds.
This time, seeing the table full of eggs cooked in different ways, a group of people started eating them with relish.
Freshly dug potatoes are not as delicious as those that have been stored for a while, but for this group of people, it is good enough.
Two days passed in a flash. Gu Qingqing was sleeping in the house with her child at noon. She heard some noise coming from the house in a daze. When she opened her eyes, she saw a person sitting on the chair.
Gu Qingqing was so frightened that she screamed "Ah", and her hands subconsciously protected her stomach. Only after she screamed did she realize that the figure was Wen Wuyan.
"What time is it? When did you come back? Why didn't you wake me up? You scared me." Gu Qingqing, who was still a little dazed, made a series of accusations.
"It's still early, just past four in the afternoon. It's okay, it's okay, I'm here, don't be afraid." Wen Wuyan said as he stepped forward and put his hand on her belly.
"Wen Wuyan, you're scaring me but you're only caring about him." Gu Qingqing said as she puffed out her belly slightly.
Wen Wuyan looked at the jealous Qingqing, his eyes narrowed with stars as he smiled, "Yes, yes, it's my fault. I scared Qingqing, and you weren't afraid."
"That's more like it." Gu Qingqing showed her little woman's emotions in front of him.
Then he said "Ah", then realized it belatedly and asked, "Why did you come back so early today? Shouldn't you have come back later?"
Wen Wuyan touched her dazed face and said with a smile as warm as spring breeze, "There are other students from Taohua Town in our college. We negotiated the car yesterday and set off at dawn, so we came back early today!" Wen Wuyan explained.
Gu Qingqing let out a long "Oh". She remembered that once when she was delivering paper to Boss Jiang, she met that person and the other person said that he and Wen Wuyan were studying in the same college.
She suspected that she didn't sleep well and couldn't even remember the other person's name.
"Have you eaten? I'll get up and make something for you." Gu Qingqing said as she was about to get up from the kang.
Wen Wuyan stopped her and said, "No, Shengxi went to cook noodles for me. I just want to stay with you in the house for a while."
Gu Qingqing chuckled, and her sleepiness was driven away a lot. She then told him what had happened at home recently, as well as the theft of the eggs from the fields a few days ago and Zhao Dong's purchase of grain again.
At this point, Gu Qingqing suddenly remembered something and took his hand and said, "Brother Dong asked you when you would be back a few days ago. It seemed like he had something to tell you."
"Oh, Brother Dong wants to talk to me about something? Didn't you say what it is?" Wen Wuyan asked in surprise.
Gu Qingqing shook her head. "He didn't say anything, and I didn't ask. The day before yesterday, when he was busy, Zhao Bei said there was something good. I don't know if it was one thing. It's a good thing that you're back, so remember to ask him."
