Gu Yundong wasn’t a stingy person. If others were kind to her, she naturally reciprocated generously.
But if they were like Mrs. Fang, she wouldn’t even want to give them a grain of salt.
Gu Yunkai’s little sister watched with shining eyes as her older sister cooked the braised pork ribs. As she salivated, she said to Zeng Yue beside her, “Braised pork ribs are so delicious, all oily and fragrant. Take a bite, and whoosh, it jumps, then gulp, it goes down.”
Zeng Yue tried hard not to look at the meat, but her ears couldn’t close. Listening to her little sister’s description, she couldn’t help but start salivating.
After hesitating for a moment, she released Gu Yunkai’s hand and said, “I, I’ll go water the vegetables outside.”
And off she ran.
The little girl looked at her sister’s quickly retreating figure in confusion. “But didn’t she water them already?”
Gu Yundong smiled and glanced at her. “You, go sit over there. Be careful of oil splashing on you and causing you to cry out.”
“I wouldn’t cry out. That’s what my brother does.” The little girl unceremoniously swung the pot toward Gu Yunkai, explaining with a serious expression, before turning to find Zeng Yue.
Gu Yundong quickly finished cooking the braised pork ribs, then took the fish to make soup. Thinking about how the little girl liked boiled eggs, she also boiled a few eggs.
There were plenty of vegetables in the backyard of the Zeng family’s house, so Gu Yundong had Zeng Yue pick some green beans, potatoes, eggplants, and a large cabbage. She cooked a variety of dishes, including eggplant with green beans, sour and spicy shredded potatoes, and cabbage with glass noodles.
She made a lot of food, enough for about six dishes.
After everything was ready, Gu Yundong took off her apron and had Zeng Yue, who was catching bugs in the yard with Gu Yunkai, come over.
Zeng Yue had smelled the delicious aroma coming from the kitchen a long time ago. She didn’t even need to look; she just knew it was going to be delicious.
“Yue Yue, take these dishes to the neighbors for your dad and them to eat, and also ask your mom to come back for dinner.”
Since Zeng Hu’s leg was injured, he couldn’t keep carrying food back and forth after every meal, so Gu Yundong had already prepared two portions of food.
Zeng Yue was stunned for a moment, then shook her head hastily. “No, no, this, this is your food. We have our own food, I…”
“Yue Yue, I’m moving today. Shouldn’t we celebrate? Are you unwilling to help us celebrate together?” Gu Yundong interrupted her.
Zeng Yue shook her head hastily again. “I’m willing, I’m willing.”
“Then take it over.”
Zeng Yue was no match for her, and it was wrong if she didn’t eat, but it was also wrong if she did. After thinking for a moment, she simply turned and ran to ask her mother.
Gu Yundong sighed. It was difficult dealing with someone who liked to take advantage, and it was also difficult dealing with someone who didn’t want to take advantage. Life was so hard.
She went out to call Gu Yunkai. He and Zeng Le were watching people build houses on the edge of the homestead. She also took the opportunity to show Zeng Le where his room was.
Even though she was completely making it up, pointing to a place that wasn’t even there, Zeng Le nodded repeatedly, indicating that he agreed with this older brother who was two months older than him.
When Gu Yundong went to call him, Gu Yunkai was still not done talking about how his room was sixty feet high.
Gu Yundong almost stumbled and fell when she heard this. Sixty feet was about twenty meters! How could his room be so high? Did he want to reach the heavens?
She patted his head and urged him to go back to work.
Gu Yunkai, looking aggrieved, carried the dishes to the neighbors’ house.
As soon as he left, there was a knocking sound at the door.
