Chapter 37: don't treat yourself as an outsider
Chapter 37 Don’t treat yourself as an outsider
Shen Man was very happy to see the Gu family busy.
It can be seen that they value themselves very much, and Gu Dacheng also chats with her if he has nothing to do, just because he is afraid that she will be bored.
"Who else is there in the family?" Gu Dacheng asked with a smile.
Shen Man thought for a while, and replied honestly: "Parents are still alive, and there are older brothers, sisters-in-law, and older sisters."
As for the bad relationship, she didn't say it first. After all, it's not a good thing, so let's talk about it later.
Hearing the sound of jingling outside, Shen Man wanted to go out to help.
As soon as she got up, Li Mei said: "Xiaoman, sit down, I will cook, and Chenzi will chat with others."
As she said that, she gave Gu Chen a wink, and this boy didn't know how to chat with other girls.
"Sit down." Gu Chen said, "Today is your first visit as my partner, so you can't work."
It has nothing to do with whether the woman is diligent or not. She can't work when she comes to the house for the first time, and she wants to show that she can help next time.
Hearing this, Shen Man understood from it that the Gu family respected her, otherwise how could she not be willing to have one more person to help?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but envy the children of the Gu family, except Gu Nan.
Living in a loving family must be happiness. Of course, Gu Nan may also be happy, but it is more likely to be beaten...
With the sound of jingling cooking outside the house, Shen Man sat on the edge of the kang in every possible way bored.
Fortunately, they were afraid that they would be bored, so they let Gu Nan, the fire-burning girl, come into the room to talk with her.
"Sister Man." Gu Nan grinned. She just washed her face and simply wiped it off with a towel.
Looking at the girl's face, which was blown by the cold wind, it was all dry and cracked.
"Aren't you going to use... cream?" Shen Man originally wanted to ask about skin care products, but then he thought about how there are no skin care products at this time, so he said cream.
Upon hearing this, Gu Nan shook her head, "Where did we wipe that thing? I usually put on some hala oil."
"Ah?" Shen Man was stunned when he heard the hala oil, isn't that thing just for wiping feet?
She remembered that the director of the orphanage used to help with work, and most of the time the heel cracked badly, so he used hala oil to rub it.
"That's it!" Gu Nan took out a small box, there was still a little bit in it, she picked out a little bit and wiped it all over her face like washing her face.
Looking at it, Shen Man really felt that this girl was really easy to fool, but it was true, hala oil was very cheap, so how could she buy expensive things.
The two were talking, but Gu Nan was mainly asking about things in the city.
It can be seen that this girl is yearning for the city, but Shen Man thinks she must want to play.
In this way, more than an hour passed, and Li Jinhua shouted "It's time to eat" outside the house.
Gu Chen went to set the table, and then Gu Nan went to serve the food. The moment the door was opened, the aroma of vegetables from the outer room poured in, and there was a big gust of heat.
"Oh, it smells so good!" Gu Nan said, took the plate and entered the room.
A plate of white and fat dumplings was placed on the table, and then several plates came in one after another.
I didn't expect them to take the trouble and make dumplings in such a short time.
There is also a pot of stewed chicken with dried potatoes. There is not much soup, but it looks delicious.
Another pot of butchered vegetables, covered with blood sausage.
Shen Man was stunned by the two big dishes. Sure enough, the dishes in the Northeast are always the largest, and they are all served in pots.
"It's time to eat!" Li Jinhua entered the room with two bowls of garlic sauce, followed by Li Mei, her children and Gu Yuan.
Everyone took their seats one after another, and Shen Man was very happy. Fortunately, their family didn't have the best ones, otherwise he didn't know how to deal with it.
"Come." Gu Chen put a little garlic sauce in a bowl and you gave it to her.
The two sit next to each other, mainly because the table is not big and there are many family members.
Shen Man took it over and said thank you, and then heard Li Jinhua say: "Xiao Man hurry up and eat, you are welcome!"
After finishing speaking, she directly put a big chicken leg in the bowl, and there was garlic sauce in it.
"You pick it yourself, don't be too polite, I need to use my chopsticks." Li Jinhua went to pick up vegetables after speaking.
She knew that people in the city didn't like to pick up food with chopsticks used by others, so she didn't pick up food with chopsticks.
Shen Man watched the others bow their heads to eat, each of them was delicious.
She also started to eat chicken drumsticks and dumplings.
The dumplings are made of pork and cabbage. At this time, there is nothing to eat in the house, except for cabbage, radish and potato, and sauerkraut.
This dumpling was very delicious, and Shen Man didn't control it, and finally found out that he had eaten a plate of dumplings.
There are about fifteen or sixteen of them, and there are other dishes.
Today should be the most satisfying meal she has ever eaten since time travel, and she was full.
She really didn't treat herself as an outsider, which made her a little embarrassed.
Li Jinhua looked at her with a smile, thinking that it would be a blessing to be able to eat, but she was afraid that if she didn't eat much, she would not be skinny in the future.
In her opinion, Shen Man's body is still thin, and she should gain another ten catties.
Even the current conditions do not allow the family to eat oil and water every day, life is not easy.
After dinner, Shen Man wanted to help clear the table, but was stopped by everyone, and finally could only sit and watch.
"Xiaoman, do you have any plans in the future?" Li Mei asked after finishing packing.
Hearing that Shen Man didn't understand, she shook her head, "I don't know."
Who knows what aspect she is asking about?
After asking, Li Mei also felt that it was inappropriate, so she didn't say anything more. In fact, she wanted to ask when the two of them would get married, but this was just the beginning, so what about the marriage?
My brother-in-law finally found a partner, and if she was scared away, her parents-in-law would not be able to spare her.
Gu Chen: Thank you.
Seeing that it was getting late, Shen Man wanted to go back first.
Gu Chen stood up directly, and before she could say anything, he said, "It's getting late, go back and rest."
What a roundworm, everyone knows what she is going to do.
Seeing this, several members of the Gu family didn't stop them, and went back after delivering it to the door.
And Gu Chen wants to send her to a collective household, after all, she is the object, so how can you rest assured that she will go back alone?
Li Jinhua closed the door, sat on the kang and said: "This girl is really nice, I fell in love with her from the very beginning. I didn't expect Chen to be quite active, so this confirms the relationship."
She was very happy, her son's lifelong event was finally resolved, and she was still the girl she liked.
Although people in the countryside are afraid that the educated youths in the city will run back to the city and not come back, but she sees Shen Man differently, and she will definitely not run away.
Besides, she should be nicer to others in the future, for the sake of the family, she can't run back, right?
Gu Dacheng rolled up the cigarette and nodded, "It's not bad, I think this kid is fine. He is handsome and can endure hardships. When he first came to our brigade, he could earn eight work points. He is a lesbian."
Educated youths don’t have a bad reputation, but they can’t work. In the eyes of their peasants, it’s useless to work.
So there are not many people like Shen Man, they are all optimistic about this child.
