Chapter 350 Familiarity with the Situation
Gu Qingqing was afraid that she would be reserved, so she deliberately said it in a relaxed manner, "You are really making things difficult for me. After we moved to our new home, we didn't keep anything except the necessary old materials, or we used them for other purposes."
"Are you really going to let me use this good thing?" Wen Shengxi still couldn't believe it.
Gu Qingqing looked at her with reluctance in her eyes and raised her hand to touch the quilt. She just smiled and didn't say much.
There weren't many things in the room. After Wen Shengxi finished looking, Gu Qingqing spoke, "I don't know when you will be back, and the hot water for bathing is not yet boiled. Let's go eat first. After dinner, I'll boil some hot water for you to take a bath and have a good sleep today."
When Wen Shengxi heard that it was time to eat, he quickly looked away and nodded slightly awkwardly.
Zhao Qin stayed at home for dinner today. She brought Dahua, Erhua and Sanhua to occupy two sides of the small table, Zhao Qin on one side and Wen Shengxi on the other side.
The others seemed to be accustomed to warm food and were able to control themselves in the face of so much meat.
Wen Shengxi was different. Her eyes glowed green as she looked at the meat on the table. She swallowed her saliva and forced herself to look away from the plate of meat.
"Okay, since there are no outsiders here, let's all eat! The meat won't taste good if it's cold." Gu Qingqing said as she picked up a piece of the shiny, trembling braised pork with her chopsticks and gave it to Zhao Qin first. "You've worked hard today, so eat the meat quickly!" Gu Qingqing said.
"Oh, I haven't tasted your cooking for a long time. I won't be polite." Zhao Qin said as she put the meat into her mouth.
Over there, Wen Shengxi first heard people talking about eating meat, and then heard the sound of chewing meat. This made Wen Shengxi, who was peeking at the side, very greedy, but she didn't dare to look at it. She didn't dare to look at all.
People didn't dare to look at it, and she didn't dare to look at the table either. There were big pieces of meat, bamboo shoots and meat slices, scrambled eggs with wild onions, shredded pork and water celery, and pickled vegetables and meat...
Wen Shengxi suddenly felt that it was such a waste at this moment. If he ate a little bit of this much meat every day, wouldn't it take many days to eat it?
She didn't dare look at the dishes or vegetables on the table. She saw that they were greasy on the edges and seemed to have a lot of pork on them.
Afraid that she would be thought greedy by her elder sister if she looked at her for too long, she subconsciously lowered her head to eat the sorghum rice in her bowl.
She likes it here very much. There is a new house to live in, new clothes and new quilts, and the smell of food. She can eat a bowl of food just by smelling it...
Gu Qingqing naturally noticed her reserved look, and followed suit by picking up a piece of meat with chopsticks and putting it in her bowl.
Wen Shengxi, who was eating with her head down, suddenly noticed that there was an extra piece of meat in her bowl. She followed her chopsticks and looked at it, and heard Gu Qingqing say, "You look so thin. Eat more meat to replenish your body."
Wen Shengxi opened her mouth, and swallowed the word "sister" with red eyes.
Erhua looked at Wen Shengxi who was about to cry and asked curiously, "Aunt, don't you eat the meat cooked by mother every day? This is delicious, look!"
Erhua said as she picked up a piece of braised pork and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing it in front of Wen Shengxi to prove how delicious her mother's cooking was.
"You know so much, who doesn't know that meat is delicious!" Dahua glanced at Erhua, picked up a piece of bamboo shoot and meat, stood up and put it in Wen Shengxi's bowl, smiling happily, "Auntie, you eat this, this is delicious too."
Where has Wen Shengxi seen anything like this?
Erhua followed suit and also picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in Wen Shengxi's bowl, "Auntie, you eat it!"
Her family rarely ate meat once every six months. If they did, her father, eldest brother, and eldest sister-in-law would eat the most. Her mother couldn't get any, and she could only have a sip of the broth at most.
Now they all put meat into their own bowls. Wen Shengxi protected the bowl with his hands and whispered anxiously, "You guys eat too. I don't like meat."
As Wen Shengxi spoke, her eyes seemed to be welded to her flesh, and her throat made swallowing sounds, betraying her thoughts.
"How can a new girl not like to eat meat? You just arrived and you don't know. You are not a stingy person. Look at the food on the table. We are not fooling people. Just do your job well and eat what is on the table." Zhao Qin picked up a piece of vegetarian dish and said, "As long as you are in a good mood, everything you eat will be delicious! Only when you eat well can you have the strength to work."
Wen Shengxi was surprised to see how well the people were eating, so he carefully but impatiently picked up the meat from the bowl and put it into his mouth.
Gu Qingqing took extra care of her, and seeing that she still couldn't let go, she would pick up food for her from time to time.
After the meal, Wen Shengxi subconsciously touched her bloated belly and thought to herself that she must work more.
Of course, seeing Gu Qingqing carrying water and saying she wanted to give her a bath, she hurried over to grab it, "Sister, let me do it."
Seeing Dahua was about to light a fire, she squeezed over and said, "Dahua, let me light the fire."
Seeing Erhua leading Sanhua to walk, she would call Sanhua to tease her from time to time.
Over there, Gu Qingqing poured hot water into the bathtub, added some cold water, and then helped her take a bath.
"Sister, I can take a bath by myself." Wen Shengxi was already too happy today, and this time she didn't dare to let her sister help her take a bath.
"Can you wash? How do you wash it?" Gu Qingqing asked curiously.
Wen Shengxi gestured and spoke, and according to Gu Qingqing's understanding, she was just crossing the water.
"I'll help you wash once, and next time you can wash the same way I did today. Besides, you may not know how to use the soap at home, so I'll teach you how to use it."
Wen Shengxi is just an ordinary little girl from the village. Who would believe that she has no dirt on her body?
Zhupizi, loofah pulp, and soapnut water were all applied to her body twice before Wen Shengxi was washed clean.
Gu Qingqing asked her to put on clean clothes, helped her wipe her hair, and told her to have a good rest. Then she walked towards the front yard.
Zhao Dong and Zhao Qin were waiting for her. They returned four taels of silver to her and told her what had happened.
It was a simple matter. They found a matchmaker in their village and pretended to inquire whether there were any suitable girls in the village. When they saw that the other party thought they were human traffickers, they pushed Zhao Bei out and said they were looking for a wife for him.
The matchmaker met the real person and then mentioned the daughter of the Lu family.
Zhao Qin followed the group and after meeting Lu Xiaomiao, she pretended to despise him because he was skinny and useless. Later, she changed her mind and survived due to the disappointment of Lu's father.
In order to ensure success, she directly offered six taels of silver and wrote a letter of severance in the presence of the villagers and the village chief.
"This is her contract and her marriage certificate."
Zhao Dong took two pieces of paper and gave them to Gu Qingqing.
"Okay, you guys have worked hard, go back and rest early. There is no important work at home tomorrow, so take this opportunity to rest."
......
the next day.
Gu Qingqing heard the noise and went to the fire room, and saw that Wen Shengxi had already started the pot.
After Gu Qingqing went through this circle, she couldn't help but wonder whether this little girl Shengxi slept at night?
She fed all the grass-eating poultry in the backyard, and even put some tender grass in the cages of the three old hens.
She went out early in the morning to pull the grass.
There was a basket of wild amaranth tips in the kitchen, which she also picked.
Not only did she wash the clothes she had taken off yesterday, she also washed the three-color poop rag that Gu Qingqing had placed by the door last night.
The yard seemed to have been swept, and Gu Qingqing felt it was much cleaner.
This is just the beginning.
Then Gu Qingqing discovered that Shengxi's eyes were so lively that she could not move at all. If Shengxi discovered what he was about to do, she would definitely snatch it away.
After a few days, Gu Qingqing felt like she was really going to become a landlord's wife and wouldn't have to do anything.
Wen Shengxi, who is already familiar with the family, is better than several of her?
Where can this go?
Although she also wanted to lie on the kang and enjoy herself, she couldn't bully child laborers.
As a last resort, Gu Qingqing set several rules for her, one of which was that she was not allowed to get up until the rooster crowed three times.
