Chapter 64: Acting Skills on Point (2) (1/2)

Gu Qingyao walked towards the kitchen. Her lips curved into a smile as she saw Gu Ruoqing contemplating about something and said, “Come and help with food. What are you looking at? You think you are her?”

Gu Ruoqing’s expression changed as she was pissed.

In the main room, grandfather and Gu Yunshen were treating Zhou Hong. Wen Ruyu was at the cowshed. The two elders were both under reformation. As there were visitors to the house, Gu Chonghua was here to treat the patient but not Wen Ruyu. So she stayed at the cowshed to do her job and kept a low profile.

Gu Qingyao, Gu Ruoqing, Zhang Xiaohui, and Chen Goudan were in the kitchen.

Chen Goudan helped the Gu family to do many chores today including bringing over dry woods. Thus, the Gu family allowed him to stay and have a meal.

Chen Goudan always helped different families. His family was very poor so he always needed help from neighbors. Though he was raised by his eldest uncle, he was fed by every family in the area.

It was common to have such a child in every brigade.

Chen Goudan always helped to do tasks in order to show his appreciation.

Gu Ruoqing and Zhang Xiaohui were both in a bad mood.

Gu Qingyao stood in front of the stove and was anxious, “What can we eat for lunch? Nothing good is left. We can only eat wild vegetables and coarse grain.”

Chen Goudan looked up and said, “You want to eat meat, Sister Gu?”

Gu Qingyao pursed her lips, “Who does not want to eat meat? I crave meat everyday.”

“Brother Mo is not at home? He did not hunt for animals for you from the mountain?”

Gu Qingyao rolled her eyes and said, “Yes, but I did not manage to eat. Such a waste that Brother Beihan passed me so much good food.”
