Chapter 268: Meat Freedom
The person who brought up the child bride marriage was slapping their own mouth in their heart.
Stupid mouth, let you babble, offended someone, didn't you!
Speaking of which, Chenghuai's wife is really scary when she gets angry!!
"Won't say it again, never say it again." He admitted defeat honestly.
This also served as a reminder to him that inappropriate jokes shouldn't be made. And because he changed his bad habits, he escaped a disaster on a certain day in the future.
Hearing the person who made the joke say soft words, Lin Zhao's brows relaxed.
Yet, someone had to jump out at this time to show off their ability.
Su Yuxian stood out: "People in the same village making a joke, Comrade Lin is too petty, I haven't even spoken yet, our Baozhen is still a girl."
Lin Zhao was so speechless she couldn't help but laugh: "Girls are precious, are my sons cheap grass?"
"Not having a child bride marriage means not having one; whoever opens their mouth is saying this, I'm not targeting you, don't be sentimental."
Su Yuxian was speechless.
Old Lady Lu hadn't spoken, wanting to let her daughter-in-law suppress the Gu family and enjoy it herself, but who knew Su Yuxian couldn't beat the other party, her face fell on the spot, and she glared at her unhappily.
"Chenghuai's wife, Baozhen's mother is slow-witted, unlike you who can speak well; I'll teach her later, don't hold it against her."
Lin Zhao's smile deepened: "I found that you and Su Yuxian are not of the same family and don't enter the same door; you both love to say these muddled things, telling people not to hold it against you or something, it's also very interesting."
After saying this, she ignored the Lu family and called the twins to go home.
"Xiang Yubao, Gu Hangbao, go home."
Lin Zhao confronted people, the twins stood on her left and right, eyes fixed on the Lu family, faces tense, expressions like little wolves' vigilance.
If Mom hadn't forbidden them from running, they would have gone to call Grandma!
Hmph.
Lu Baozhen's grandma couldn't beat his grandma.
Lin Zhao took the two cubs and left, Old Lady Lu was both angry and annoyed, others looked at each other, and opened their mouths to comfort her.
They still wanted to hear about the Lu family following the army.
Knowing this would be their topic of conversation for the next month.
"Yizhou's mother, how is it in the army, are you living comfortably? I see you've all gained weight."
The speaker was an old lady, about the same age as Old Lady Lu.
As she spoke, her gaze swept over the people following the army, seeing Lu Baozhen's thin little face, her expression paused slightly.
Huh? Why does Baozhen look even worse than the little girls in the village?!
Old Lady Lu pulled at the new cotton-padded jacket on her body and said reservedly: "It's alright, no farm work there, just eating and chatting with people every day, wouldn't I gain weight?"
The old people in the village who were of age cast envious glances.
"Then why did you come back?" Old Lady Li couldn't help but say, "Didn't see you come back for the New Year, why come back now that the New Year is over?"
She looked at Old Lady Lu with suspicious eyes: "You wouldn't be... kicked back, would you?"
"How is that possible!" Old Lady Lu felt this person was cursing her, so angry her eyeballs were about to pop out, and seeing others looking at her suspiciously, she hurriedly said: "I've been gone for months, the old man is still in the brigade, shouldn't I come back to see?"
The villagers nodded, reasonable, should come back to see, otherwise she would have an extra son out of thin air, and Yizhou would have an extra younger brother or sister out of thin air.
emmm, if Old Lu's function was still normal.
Looking at that old house on fire, it should be normal.
Old Lady Lu didn't know about the brain-filling of some people, she raised her head proudly and said: "My Yizhou is filial, letting his father go over too."
Brigade leader's wife was also on the front line of eating melons: "... Picking up people is picking up people, why bring Baozhen back too?"
Old Lady Lu said: "What else to do if I don't bring her back, Baozhen is so small, can't leave her alone in the army, Yizhou still has missions."
Everyone felt this made sense.
Wang Chunhua asked again: "Are they all buildings in the army? Can you grow vegetables?"
Old Lady Lu sat in the middle position, making a gesture of a long talk: "Definitely not, there are also bungalows."
Su Yuxian gloated: "We live in a building, Gu Chenghuai applied for a bungalow that no one wanted!"
She always paid attention to the Meng family, and Gu Chenghuai was also in her surveillance range, so naturally, she knew that Gu Chenghuai had applied to follow the army and had been approved.
Wang Chunhua was happy for Lin Zhao and the four cubs: "Really?"
Su Yuxian looked at her strangely: "Of course it's true. I couldn't possibly lie to you about this."
She had an expression of watching the fun without fear of trouble: "Those bungalows are simply unwanted."
Wang Chunhua's expression was subtle: "Bungalows have courtyards, right?"
"Yeah." Su Yuxian said, "That house is about the same as the one in the village, the roofs are broken, not even as good as the houses in the village."
"What's wrong with broken, can't it be lived in after repairing." Wang Chunhua didn't think so, "We country people don't know anything, but everyone is diligent, just cleaning up a courtyard is nothing, living in a bungalow and opening a piece of land to grow vegetables can save vegetable money, what a good thing."
If you ask her, Yizhou's mother and his wife were also blinded by city life, deeply eroded by that what-what-ism, losing the simple diligence of farmers...
Su Yuxian also laughed at Xiang Yubao's mother, not seeing that the villagers were laughing at her.
This girl, went to the army to live for several months, not a bit of progress.
Old Lady Lu said: "I went to the army to enjoy my son's blessings, not to do hard work, grow what vegetables, haven't I grown enough in the brigade?"
"If you don't grow them, isn't there Yizhou's wife?" Brigade leader's wife said directly, "I heard the building is very small, this family sneezes, that family can hear it, the kitchen and toilet are public, how big is your house, how do you cook normally?"
The building the Lu family lived in was the result of Old Lady Lu's "efforts." They originally lived in a bungalow, Old Lady Lu made a fuss for more than half a month, and finally successfully moved into the building. Lu Yizhou also made it onto the leaders' blacklist.
Lu Yizhou: Having such a mother is truly his blessing!
"What else to do? Do it together." The building the Lu family lived in was very small, with only one room; she and Baozhen slept on a wooden board set up in the living room, and it wasn't that good, she didn't want to mention it much.
Brigade leader's wife was someone who would get to the bottom of things: "Didn't several households live on one floor, how to live together, you haven't said how big your house is."
As the words fell, a suspicious look was cast over.
"Your house wouldn't be... very small, right?"
"Are there two rooms?"
Others present looked at Old Lady Lu one after another, curiosity undisguised in their expressions.
Old Lady Lu: "..."
These people are really annoying.
"What do you care how many rooms there are, anyway, our whole family can live in it." She said angrily.
"Still want to listen? If not, we're going home."
If it weren't for the Gu family also following the army, afraid of being exposed, Old Lady Lu would have wanted to say... her family had four rooms. Why did the Gu family boy and her son happen to be recruited together, and happen to be in the same military region? If not, wouldn't it be whatever she wanted to blow?
Everyone had many questions they hadn't asked, giving Old Lady Lu a step down.
"Listen, listen, listen! Can't we stop asking, we'll listen to whatever you say."
Actually, they were all from the same brigade, who didn't know who, seeing Old Lady Lu's expression, the brigade members watching the fun could guess that the building the Lu family lived in was probably not big—
It was possible there was only one room.
One room, the Lu family has one, two, three, four, five... five people, how to live?
All squeezed into one room?!
How do Lu Yizhou and Su Yuxian do things?
A group of people subconsciously glanced at Su Yuxian's stomach, flat as a threshing floor, afraid they hadn't conceived, wouldn't they even have done the deed?!
The villagers who were focused on listening had thoughts running wild like a runaway horse, rushing toward indescribable places.
Old Lady Lu didn't know why.
She put on airs again.
"The army has schools, supply and marketing cooperatives, cinemas, big canteens... and big stages, during the New Year, there are literary soldiers performing on them, it's called lively. I've lived until today, only then did I know the New Year could be spent like that."
The old ladies and aunts in the village curled their lips secretly.
This is saying that the whole brigade has lived in vain all these years.
After the show, everyone left satisfied.
Zhao Liuniang didn't even go home and went straight to the third room.
Just entering the courtyard, she smelled a strange meat fragrance, very unfamiliar but fragrant, fragrant enough to make her saliva flow out.
She covered the corner of her mouth, secretly scolding herself for being useless.
Stupid mouth, can you have some backbone, control it.
Recalling the meat she ate during the New Year, the greed in her heart was suppressed.
Zhao Liuniang took a few steps forward, came to the kitchen door, didn't dare to go in, the fragrance was heavier close by, she was afraid she couldn't control herself.
"Making meat again."
Lin Zhao smiled: "On a whim, making a meat sandwich, why did Gu Gu Ersao come?"
When the fragrance came out, the twins didn't even care about Coal Ball, and stayed in the kitchen for half an hour.
"Mom, is it ready, I want to eat, I want to eat." Gu Hangbao couldn't wait to urge.
"Ready, ready." Lin Zhao put meat into the cut pancake, then poured in some braised juice, the juice soaked into the pancake, looking delicious.
The moment the meat sandwich reached the twins' hands, the brothers opened their mouths wide and bit a crescent moon out of the pancake.
"Mm... delicious."
Only saying a few words, the two cubs didn't look up again, only caring about eating.
Zhao Liuniang moved her gaze away with difficulty and said: "I heard from Aunt Lu that the third one submitted a report to follow the army and applied for a bungalow; do you know about this?"
She was afraid the village would spread rumors, and it would change flavor in the third sister-in-law's ears, so she reported the news at the first opportunity.
At least have a number in mind.
"Report to follow the army?" Lin Zhao really hadn't heard her husband mention it.
"Gu Chenghuai didn't mention it to me." She said lightly.
Zhao Liuniang couldn't see the third sister-in-law's emotions, her heart sank slightly.
Hurriedly spoke to make up for Gu Chenghuai, comforting Lin Zhao.
"He might, might have been busy and forgotten. Or maybe he wanted to give you a surprise?"
Lin Zhao noticed the Gu Gu Ersao's nervousness, came back to her senses, and smiled: "I know, I know now."
Handed over a meat sandwich.
"I think the meat is a bit salty, Gu Gu Ersao, help me taste it."
Gu Hangbao wanted to say it wasn't salty at all, just right, super delicious, he could eat five in one meal, got a glare from his brother, thought about it, didn't speak, and sat on the little stool eating the last bite.
"Mom, I want more." He said.
"Eating so fast, eat in small bites, what if you choke!" Although the pancake wasn't big, the meat was full, and Lin Zhao didn't expect the two cubs to like it so much.
"Give this sandwich to your Second Aunt, I'll make you another."
Gu Hangbao took it, rushed to the door, and gave the meat sandwich to Zhao Liuniang.
"Second Aunt, you eat. The meat sandwich my mom made is delicious, better than meat buns!"
While giving it, he didn't forget to praise his mother.
Lin Zhao's mouth curled up; no matter when, the twins could bring her full emotional value, even if she scrambled an egg, they could praise it to the sky.
Zhao Liuniang took it and said embarrassedly: "In the evening, I'll stir-fry that piece of cured meat and send you half."
Such a fragrant meat sandwich, she wasn't embarrassed to take advantage.
Lin Zhao didn't look up: "No need, send me some vegetables later, keep the cured meat to eat later."
The first and second rooms didn't buy meat as conveniently as she did, the meat kept was for when they did heavy work.
Zhao Liuniang said readily: "Okay, I'll bring you some of everything then."
Bring lots and lots.
She smiled: "This meat is too fragrant, I'll take it back and eat it with Bang Bang and the others."
After saying this, she left with light steps.
Ran home all the way.
The second room's people were all there.
Zhao Liuniang raised her hand: "Look at this..."
People now all have noses comparable to Da Huang, very sensitive to food, especially meat.
Bang Bang and Lai Mei ran toward Zhao Liuniang.
"Mom, what's this?"
"So fragrant."
The brothers expressed their opinions.
Gu Yucheng guessed: "Third sister-in-law gave it?"
"That's right. Except for the third sister-in-law who is so generous, who else would give us meat to eat." Zhao Liuniang took the meat sandwich to the kitchen and divided it into equal portions.
"One piece each, taste the flavor. Third sister-in-law said this is a meat sandwich, I see this meat looks like it's braised."
The second room's people each took a piece, didn't dare to eat big bites, bit in small bites, eyes brightened again and again.
"!!!"
Lived in vain for so many years, so much meat eaten in vain!
"Braised? Should have used a lot of seasoning, no wonder it's so fragrant, this flavor... is absolute." Gu Yucheng exclaimed.
Lai Mei ate very fast, licking his hands at this moment.
"Third Aunt makes everything delicious." His eyes revealed envy, "Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao are really happy, can eat meat until full."
Key point is they can change what they eat.
It was also because they caught their light, otherwise he wouldn't have tasted this delicacy.
He rushed to his own room.
Zhao Liuniang shouted: "What are you doing?"
"Reading." Lai Mei left a sentence.
He must be successful, must achieve meat freedom!
Zhao Liuniang's eyes widened a circle, looked at Gu Yucheng in astonishment, and whispered: "There's such a good thing?"
Gu Yucheng stared at the last bite of meat sandwich in his hand, muttering in his heart.
He didn't achieve anything, wasn't it because... he lacked this bite of food when he was young?
Zhao Liuniang saw the man's thoughts, her eyes slanted over, spat lightly, and went to work.
Gu Yucheng: "..."
Third room.
Lin Zhao sent the twins to send food to their grandparents, and by the way, pick up the twins.
After the two cubs left, she took out the letter Gu Chenghuai sent back from the storage ring; this was something she picked up on the way when sending Little Brother off, and hadn't had time to read.
The letter wasn't long, saying he submitted a report to follow the army, it had been approved, she and the children would have a place to live when they came; he cleaned up the courtyard, it was very similar to their home in the Harvest Brigade; saying he didn't mention it before because he wanted to fix it up before telling them, who knew the Lu family would go back, his surprise was shattered, his mood was very depressed, feeling that rather than letting her know from others' mouths, it was better to inform her himself... ===== CHAPTER 269 =====
Gu Yucheng: "......"
The third branch.
Lin Zhao sent the twins to deliver food to their grandparents and took the opportunity to bring the boy-girl twins back.
After the two cubs left, she took out the letter Gu Chenghuai had mailed back from her storage ring; she had picked it up on her way to send off her younger brother and hadn't had time to read it yet.
The letter wasn't long. He said he had submitted his application to have his family join him, and it had already been approved, so there would be a place for her and the children to live when they arrived; he had tidied up the courtyard, and it was very similar to their home in the Harvest Production Brigade; he said he hadn't mentioned it before because he wanted to get everything ready before telling them, but who knew the Lu family would return, and the surprise he had prepared was ruined, leaving him feeling very depressed, and he felt that rather than her finding out from someone else, it was better to tell her himself...
