Chapter 32 Getting up early to make dumplings

Gu Mingyue suppressed the thought of framing Gu Mingde.

The main reason is that the shock today was quite big, and my thoughts are a bit confused, so I can’t figure it out for the time being.

She tentatively put the bracelet into the space, and sure enough, it was just as she had guessed.

She had discovered before that although the space could absorb energy on its own, it had to wait until she took it out.

So she expected that even if the space seemed to take the initiative when sensing the energy of the jade.

But everything in this space is still based on her consciousness.

She felt that her relationship with space...

Perhaps it is similar to some kind of contract, she is the main one and space is the auxiliary one.

The fact that the bracelet is still intact today also confirms this conjecture.

So after she put the bracelet away separately, she promised the space again, "Next time, I will definitely give you all the jade stones I find next time."

When she opened her eyes the next day, Gu Mingyue looked at her watch. It was not yet five o'clock.

Alas, last night’s dream was so bizarre and lively that it made her sleep uneasily the whole night.

Since I couldn't sleep anyway, I might as well get up.

She put a towel blanket on Xiao Shitou's belly and went downstairs to the kitchen.

When her mind is restless, she likes to cook some delicious food.

While doing it, slow down the pace, adjust your mood, and break out of the vicious circle of daydreaming.

Pour three pounds of white flour into a bowl, add a spoonful of white sugar and an appropriate amount of yeast.

After kneading the dough and letting it rest, Gu Mingyue took out three bags of mixed beef filling from the space, each bag weighing one pound, which had been packaged in plastic.

Grate the radish into shreds, blanch it and chop it into small pieces. Squeeze out the water and mix it with the beef as stuffing. In no time, you will have a big pot of stuffing.

I saw a big pot full of beef and radish buns, white and plump, neatly arranged there.

Just looking at it makes me feel happy. Let’s boil some water and steam some buns.

When the buns came out of the pot, Gu Mingyue took one without caring about how hot it was and started to eat it happily...

So fragrant.

It was still early, so he took out a large stainless steel plate from the space, picked up the beef buns, and put them into the space.

Then I poured all the remaining cornmeal at home into a basin and added some white flour.

Decided to make big sauerkraut and oily dumplings for this pot.

Gu Mingyue was busy all morning.

Finally, I made another pot of black rice noodles, Chinese cabbage, egg and vermicelli, and that was the end of my breakfast this morning.

My hands were sore while eating.

But my mind became much clearer, especially when I saw Xiao Shitou eating like a little hamster, my heart gradually calmed down.

God has given her so many hints and perspectives. If she is still like a frightened bird, worrying about everything every day, wouldn't she be wasting this wonderful life?

It’s no big deal, just move forward.

Except God, no one can predict which will come first, tomorrow or an accident. What is important is to enjoy the present.

After thinking it over, Gu Mingyue was no longer anxious.

The cement and bricks should be available tomorrow. Qi Dashan and his family are waiting for the results of the investigation. Some of the meat has also been prepared and placed in the space...

After thinking about the things I've been busy with recently, they've finally come to an end.

It was a rare moment of leisure, so he looked at Little Stone and asked, "Little Stone, how about we go to the foot of the mountain to pick mushrooms today?"

Little Stone agreed excitedly, "Okay, okay, Auntie, can you bring Xinxin with you?"

"of course can."

Gu Mingyue stood up and said, "It just so happens that you had dinner at your aunt's house yesterday, and your aunt hasn't sent you any food yet."

Little Stone added earnestly, "Yesterday, my second aunt made me some steamed egg custard. Xinxin and I ate it, but Xinxin was reluctant to eat it. She gave it all to me."

Gu Mingyue understood and knew that her sister-in-law and the others would definitely take care of Xiao Shitou to eat delicious food. She was not short of food.

But these days, if she really gave food here and there, she would not only be "taught a lesson"...

As soon as she sent it, her sister-in-law would send it back to her.

Even if I don't send it back, I will give her something of equal value in exchange.

This is what they see as a give-and-take relationship, but if this balance is broken, they would rather not have these things.

At least in Gujia Village, there aren't so many people taking advantage.

Even Brother Gu Liu, who eats for free everywhere, has good taste. Doesn't he see that he is close to Uncle Guan?

Gu Mingyue collected her thoughts and without further delay, she put the black rice bread in the basket and went out taking Xiao Shitou with her.

Fortunately, they arrived early and just caught up with my uncle's family having dinner.

Put the buns on the table. "I steamed some buns this morning, and they can't be kept today. Uncle, you guys eat them."

As expected, the uncle glared at her and said in disbelief, "You are just fooling around. Don't send me one next time."

Gu Mingyue chuckled and neither agreed nor replied.

Gu Mingwei was not polite and directly picked up one to taste it. "Well, Mingyue's cooking skills have improved."

Liu Caixia rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't you see what she put in it? Egg sesame oil, even the soles of the shoes are fragrant."

Gu Guangxin stared at the side in surprise, "Aunt, can you eat the soles of shoes?"

"Poof!" Gu Guangcan was drinking porridge when he burst into laughter at his little sister's words.

This caused his second sister-in-law to slap him, and the family ate breakfast chatting and laughing.

Gu Mingyue didn't leave either. She sat on a stool nearby and started eating the pumpkin seeds handed to her by her sister-in-law.

While eating, he said, "Brother, I met my classmate yesterday. Her family works in a machinery factory. She said she could help me get some bricks and cement."

Liu Caixia quickly asked, "Male or female?"

Gu Mingyue said helplessly, "Female."

My sister-in-law nodded, and I don’t know if she was expressing regret or something, but she didn’t say anything else.

Gu Mingyue felt that it was very wise for her to state the conditions for marrying into the wife's family in advance.

Judging from the look on her sister-in-law's face, it was obvious that she hadn't given up yet. Fortunately, she had a good foundation, so her sister-in-law stopped nagging her.

"Brother, what do you say about digging a well?"

"That's no problem." Gu Mingwei finished his meal while talking, and stood up. "If you order the bricks and cement, then we can build this house.

Have the well diggers come over in the afternoon, and you can come along to check out the location and measure the area of ​​the house.

We can start laying the foundation tomorrow. I think it will rain today, so we should start as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, big brother."

Gu Mingyue saw that Guangxin had also finished eating, so she asked her eldest sister-in-law, "Second sister-in-law, I don't have anything to do today;

I'm going to take Xiao Shitou up the mountain to pick some wild vegetables. Do you and my second sister-in-law want to go?"

The eldest sister-in-law waved her hand and said, "I am going to make clothes for you at home today. You can wear them in two days. You and your second sister-in-law can go together."

In the end, only Gu Mingyue and the four little ones in the family went up the mountain.

Well, at home, she is still classified as a child.

When she was a child, she lived in the countryside in the Northeast, but in Liaoning Province.

It's pretty much the same. I can recognize some wild vegetables. I guess it's just the names that are different.

She doesn't need to worry about the glorious and brilliant ones, and the remaining two little ones are just there to make up the numbers.

When we got to the mountain, there were other people picking wild vegetables, including Aunt Li.

Gu Mingyue was very grateful for her help yesterday, and she took the initiative to step forward and say hello.

Aunt Li asked, "Mingyue, come and pick some wild vegetables."

Gu Mingyue nodded and asked casually, "Yes, it's just right to bring Xiao Shitou along. Aunt Li, are there many wild vegetables in our village?"

Aunt Li was a kind person. She said with a smile, "A lot. Our village is surrounded by mountains and is next to a river. Since your uncle and I settled here, we have never been hungry.

Mingyue, there aren't many left here. If you want to pick wild vegetables, go to the riverside. There are fewer people there today, so I guess there are still a lot."

What Gu Mingyue couldn't let go of the most was the three years of famine.

In fact, there have been signs of drought in Southwest and South China since the second half of 1958.

In the Northeast, the spring drought began in early 1959, with Heilongjiang Province being the worst hit.

The situation did not gradually improve until the second half of 1961. In the meantime, there were countless casualties and starving people everywhere.

The reasons ultimately come down to natural disasters and man-made disasters.

There is no point in pursuing the details further.

She just wanted to help the village while protecting herself.

It's not that she is a saint, but she understands that "when the nest is overturned, no eggs can remain intact."

In this age of the collective, you can never be immune to it.

She thinks it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.

So she thought, if she could mobilize everyone in advance to store food.

Let my brother arrange people to repair the reservoir.

The villagers were organized to go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables, mushrooms, fungus, etc. and dry them as food reserves.

There are also pheasants, wild ducks and even wild boars in the back mountain, which can also be regarded as the "natural granary" of Gujia Village.

As long as you prepare all the preliminary work, you can last a little longer.

There is still a lot of room for operation in the middle.

The question is how to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm?
