Novel Bin Chapter 318 - Gave Birth To A Daughter (4)
Gu Qingyao was still elated that Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing were having a hard time and she went home to make something good for the kids to eat.
Recently, there was a lot of work to do in the field and everyone was very busy. Many families ate much better and the aroma of meat could be smelt in Qing River Brigade.
Gu Qingyao took a piece of meat which she marinated previously and cut them into pieces. Then, she added a little water into cornflour and mixed it evenly before coating the meat slices with the mixture. Lastly, she steamed it using a rice cooker.
This way, the steamed meat would not be too fatty as a lot of the oil would enter the rice and the scorched rice at the bottom of the pot would be very delicious.
After her family ate it, she also made some for the Mo family and delivered it over. Mo Chengxu pulled Gu Qingyao’s hand and said, “Young Aunt, you make delicious food! I got fatter recently!”
Gu Qingyao took a look. Indeed!
This child became rounder recently under her care.
In the past when Mo Beihan was around, these two children did not starve but the frequency of eating meat was larger only when Mo Beihan was at home. Once he left, their days were normal.
But it was different now. With Gu Qingyao around, they could eat meat every two to three days and the meats were in all sorts of varieties. They ate eggs even more frequently now – at an average of one egg every two days. In addition, they normally had sufficient food and filled their tummies thus the kids grew rounder at a rapid pace.
Similarly, they grew much taller.
Jiang Yingqiu was more than elated that the two children were being raised well. The public claimed that her son doted on Gu Qingyao and not on them as he sent all the good items to Gu Qingyao and let the Gu family eat them. Yet, these two kids were not raised as well before.
Now, there were no worries over food or clothes and she was extremely content.
She was even suspecting if Gu Qingyao used the Gu family’s supplies to subsidize the Mo family’s expenses.
After all, more people in the Gu family were working and thus had more sources of income.
Gu Qingyao pinched Mo Chengxu’s little cheeks. “What do you wish to eat next time? I’ll make it for you.”
Mo Chengxu beamed immediately.
“But Young Aunt, Young Uncle said before that we cannot ask you for food frequently as you will be tired if you make food for us everyday. Young Uncle will spank my butt when he returns.”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
Gu Qingyao did not know what to say when faced with his serious response.
Gu Qingyao did not know where all these friends of Mo Beihan came from either. The number of packages she received during this period of time increased over time and they were sent from all over the country. There were all sorts of local specialties and she was simply dazzled by it.
As she received more and more things, it was much more convenient for her to take items out and it was not as restraining as before!
Gu Qingyao was about to say something, but Mo Chengxu hugged her calf and looked up to her with an expectant expression. “I still want to eat although I will be beaten! Aunt, make food for me!”
Gu Qingyao chuckled. “Are you not afraid that your Young Uncle will spank your butt when he returns?”
“Uh… I’ll not care anymore. I’ll eat first. Anyway, Young Uncle will only return during the new year! I am still safe… for now.”
“Pfft…” Gu Qingyao burst out in laughter!
…
Over this period of time, Gu Qingyao led a leisurely life. However, she was unaware that the day after she returned from town, Gu Ruoqing returned to the Wang family’s house.
She escaped from the demon-like Wang Mazi with much difficulty. The Wang family lost the original house and could only live in this small courtyard.
When she returned, Zhang Xiaohui happened to be at home alone. Wang Guozhu went to work while Liang Zhaodi and her husband went out, seeming to meet Gu Ruoqing’s future-in-law to discuss the marriage matters.
