SFS Chapter 118 Who Hit Me
Chapter 118 Who Hit Me
Gu Qingqing hurriedly bought all the pig intestines, leaving only two servings, and then finished her work.
She did not rush to the west of the town, but instead pulled the cart and took Erhua to the grain shop in the town.
The family provides meals for several skilled workers (bricklayers). Originally, the brown rice and millet in her home were enough to feed her family of five for more than a month, but now it is only enough for five or six days at most.
Zhao Bei's buck-toothed kid will come tomorrow, and there will be more people working at home, so she needs to buy some food today.
Gu Qingqing parked the car in front of the grain shop, put the bamboo basket containing the money on her back, and pulled Erhua into the shop.
"What does the sir need?" The shop assistant immediately came forward and asked when he saw someone coming in.
But when he looked at the person, he felt that he looked familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
Gu Qingqing saw that it was the same guy who sold her stale brown rice last time. If it weren't for his appearance, she didn't seem to recognize her as a customer who didn't come here often.
"Hello, brother. What are the prices of brown rice and corn now?" Gu Qingqing asked.
The young man was distracted for a moment, and after taking a closer look at her, he suddenly said, "I thought the guest looked familiar, it turned out to be, it was..."
"It's rare that you still remember this. I bought brown rice from your store before."
"It's the sausage seller on the street."
The two said it almost in unison, but after they finished speaking, they were both stunned.
"Ah, has this customer been to the store before?"
“Yes, I also set up a stall on the roadside.”
The two of them are not on the same channel.
Gu Qingqing simply smiled and said nothing more.
"Oh, I remember that a customer came to our store before to buy old brown rice, and I helped you carry it to the cart, right?" The shop assistant also remembered this.
Gu Qingqing nodded and then repeated the purpose of her visit.
"Brown rice is still ten cents a pound, corn eight cents, sorghum flour six cents, and wheat flour thirteen cents."
Gu Qingqing nodded in understanding, "Thank you, brother. Please weigh 30 kilograms of each."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
After weighing the items, the shop assistant helped put the items on the cart without Gu Qingqing having to do anything.
Before leaving, Gu Qingqing said to the shop assistant, "Brother, my family is building a house these days and we need a lot of food. I will definitely come back to buy some in a few days. If the store has any old rice or flour these days, please save some for me. I need it."
"Okay, if there is any, I'll keep it for the guests." The young man agreed.
Gu Qingqing bought rice and flour before going to buy pig offal. When she arrived at the village, the sun was already past noon.
"Oh, Qingqing is back with such a cart full of things. Come, let me pull it for you." When Mrs. Geng saw Gu Qingqing coming back, she took the shaft from her hand without saying a word.
Gu Qingqing was not willing to let her pull the cart. "Sister-in-law, I'll do it. You carry soil by the basket. Go and do your own thing. I can do this little bit of distance by myself."
"You also said that this is the only way to go. Give it to me. I have plenty of strength."
If she met a man from the village, he would just talk to her at most. But it was different with Mrs. Geng. She relied on the fact that she was a woman and pushed Gu Qingqing to the side, pulling the cart in front at a very fast speed.
Gu Qingqing had no choice but to follow quickly.
"I've parked the car in the yard for you. You can arrange the rest by yourself. I'm leaving now." After Geng said this, she left in a swift and decisive manner.
Erhua pulled Gu Qingqing's hand and said, "Mom, this aunt is so amazing."
"correct."
"Mom, you're back." When Dahua saw Gu Qingqing coming back, she hurried to greet her from the kitchen.
Then Luo Meihua came out of the kitchen. Seeing Gu Qingqing coming back, she breathed a sigh of relief. "Sister-in-law, I really admire you. You prepared lunch early in the morning for such a big event at home. I said I would come to help you, but I didn't know that there was no need for me to do anything. It seems that I can only help to serve the rice."
The porridge in the pot had been cooked in the morning and was keeping warm on the stove. There were baked sorghum flour cakes in the steamed bun basket in the kitchen, and even the bowls were neatly placed on the table next to them.
Another small pot contained half a pot of pork offal, and even the washed cabbage was placed there.
Gu Qingqing looked towards the kitchen in surprise, then turned back to look at the people working hard behind the wooden house, "What? Why aren't you eating at this time? Didn't they say that they would start eating at noon?"
Luo Meihua shook her head, "I don't know either."
"I'll ask."
There was no need to leave the yard, just run to the fence and shout outside, "Wu Yan, why aren't you letting us eat yet?"
Wen Wuyan was talking to Uncle Yang when he heard a voice behind him. He turned around and saw that Gu Qingqing had returned.
"Qingqing, you're back. I was just talking to Uncle Yang. I just called everyone twice and they all agreed that they would not eat until the foundation over there was dug through."
Gu Qingqing looked at him calmly, not knowing what he was talking about, so she could only say, "Let everyone eat first, and it won't be too late to dig after dinner. I thought you had already eaten, but I didn't expect that you hadn't eaten yet when I came back from town."
Old Yang said with a smile, "Everyone is very motivated. They thought that they could dig through in the morning and start compacting in the afternoon. After leaving it overnight, they can lay the foundation with bricks tomorrow. I'll go call them again."
"Wuyan, call people to eat. I'll go cook the last dish." After saying this, Gu Qingqing turned around and went back.
When they got to the yard, he didn't forget to joke with Luo Meihua, "If Wuyan can't call his uncle back, then I think we'll have to move my aunt over. Others stop working when it's time to eat, but why are we not in a hurry to eat?"
Luo Meihua also joked with her, "You should be happy. If you keep doing this, you will be able to live in your new house in a few days."
"It won't take a day or two. Come on, since you're here, I'm not going to let you go. Help me light the fire in the kitchen. I'll go back to the house to see Sanhua."
As soon as she entered the room, she saw Sanhua lying on the wooden bed, turning her head to look outside. When she saw her come in, she grinned.
Gu Qingqing was instantly healed from the busyness of the morning by her. She walked forward and picked up Sanhua, "You woke up because you knew mom was back, right?"
After she fed the child, she went back to the kitchen to cook.
The people over there also started to finish work. By the time she finished cooking the dishes, the people who had returned from work also came into the yard. They had already washed their hands and faces outside, so they could eat as soon as they entered the yard.
The pig intestines and cabbage were served in a bowl, and there was a bowl of pickled cucumbers on the table. Gu Qingqing placed the prepared rice on the small table while greeting everyone, "There are only a limited number of tables and benches at home, thank you for your hard work, the cakes and vegetables are on the table, come on, bring your own bowls, there's more in the pot if not enough."
Except for Niu Dajun, everyone else present had eaten braised pork intestines before, so when they saw this dish on the table, their eyes immediately lit up.
Especially after eating it, Niu Dajun couldn't help but praise, "How is this made? Why is it so delicious? It's so different from what I've eaten before."
"That's really different. This one she made doesn't have any fishy smell at all. The ones we ate before tasted like shit."

"Who hit me?" Wu Sen, who was originally squatting, let out a roar and stood up.
