Gu Yundong frowned, feeling that there was nothing wrong with what his wife said, but Gu Yundong’s attitude towards his sister Gu Yunshuang was very firm .
“If my younger sister wants to get married, then we will all agree . If she doesn’t find the right one, let her stay at home . We were away all year round and could not take care of the two elderly at home . How can we be relieved if my fourth brother is not at home?
“Little Sister can help take care of the two elderly at home . I don’t see anything bad with that!”
Zhou Ping looked at her husband’s expression and pursed her lips . After that, she did not say anything else .
The four children of the Gu family were all at home . Gu Qingyao cooked more delicious food for them . There were many people in the family, and she did not show off what she had .
Dad and her grandparents knew about her situation, but these uncles, aunts, brothers did not know . Gu Qingyao did not intend to explain to them .
And her dad and grandparents also did not plan to tell them . So, she was trying to keep a low profile .
But even so, the food was still very good for the family .
Tonight, they ate dried sweet potato porridge . Some rice and dried sweet potato were added to the porridge . That was their main food .
The side dishes were pickled beans, cabbage and spicy paste .
Gu Qingyao made a lot of the spicy paste . It had beans and radish inside . One bowl of the paste could be eaten for a few meals .
All of them shared the three dishes .
They ate early, and there was still a long time in the evening . So Gu Qingyao prepared more for the children .
She prepared a few more cooked sweet potatoes .
Some small sweet potatoes that were not good in appearance were cleaned and placed in a crock-pot and cooked with water .
The boiled sweet potatoes were soft and they were filled with sugar water . Children liked to eat them .
The portion of the meal was still quite adequate . Such conditions were at least much better than many farmers, and even better than the environment in the provincial capital that Gu Yundong stayed in the past .
Zhou Ping ate the food in front of her, looking at the children who were eating . She then thought about Gu Yunshuang who was eating alone in the house now .
She knew that Gu Yunshuang ate noodles with chicken soup tonight, which Wen Ruyu made for her personally .
She saw Gu Yunshuang’s food for a few days at home during this period, and Old Master had been dispensing her medicines to help her recover .
Even if she had never studied medicine, she knew that they were tonics .
In addition to these, all her meals were fine grains . In the past few days at home, Gu Yunshuang had not eaten more than three meals of coarse grains .
There were not only fine grains, but also meat every day .
Chicken broth, fish broth, bone broth…
In these years, it was a blessing to have enough food during confinement . Many women had to work in the fields before they gave birth, and the children were born in the fields . They continued to work after they gave birth .
No one would be taken care of like Gu Yunshuang .
The children did not even get to eat those nice food .
Li Fangting also gained a lot of weight recently . She appeared stronger and healthier . She was nourished with good food .
Zhou Ping pursed her lips and continued with her food .
After dinner, the children went to the sundries room to stay beside the fire . Gu Chonghua was in the room with his uncle Gu Yunjing and his elder brother Gu Jinye to discuss some things . Gu Yunshen was also there .
They were going to leave soon, so they had to settle everything at home .
At first, Gu Yundong was also there . After talking for a while, he came back . They were packing their luggage here, and immediately after the Lantern Festival, they would return to the provincial city .
