Chapter 49: : Yao Yao Is Our Only Granddaughter
Chapter 49: Yao Yao Is Our Only Granddaughter (1)
Jiang Yingqiu had been born a peasant . Although her elder brother had become the leader of another brigade, their family had remained poor .
In the Mo family, Mo Beihan was usually away, and there was no man of the household . Jiang Yingqiu was in poor health, and still had two teenagers to raise . The entire family depended solely on Mo Beihan, and he carried a heavy burden .
To Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing, a good prospect would be someone in the city who did not have anything to do with agriculture .
In this era, everyone aspired to move to the city . City dwellers did not need to farm, and it was easier for them to find a job . They also had a monthly food allowance and plenty of coupons . Unlike the villages, where everything except grain was hard to obtain .
Because they had no coupons!
On one hand, Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing were proud of being peasants . On the other hand, they greatly desired to lead the lives of pampered young ladies . It was as if they felt entitled to live the kind of lifestyle found in rich families .
A cynical look flashed across Gu Qingyao’s beautiful eyes as she pondered why they thought in this way . She did not say anything else, but brought the things back to her room .
In these times, housing was scarce and in many families, the children were forced to squeeze together . But in the Gu family, Gu Yunshen had given her and Gu Ruoqing separate rooms, no matter how difficult it was .
Although the room was small, Gu Qingyao liked it very much .
Lunch was brown rice porridge . Gu Qingyao cooked very little, only a small bowl for every person . In any case, from today onwards, she definitely would not give Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing any opportunity to have a good meal .
She used the mushrooms and wild herbs to make a soup, then fried a portion of the mushrooms, and that was lunch .
When the dishes were placed on the table, Gu Ruoqing widened her eyes and said, “Is that all we’re eating?”
Gu Qingyao said expressionlessly, “Consider yourself fortunate to have food . How dare you be so picky? We must not be hedonistic . We must live thrifty and prudent lives . Do you understand?”

Gu Ruoqing: “…”
Zhang Xiaohui: “…”
Hedonism was to be eschewed in this era . Everyone was afraid of the term, including Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing . At Gu Qingyao’s remark, Gu Yunshen glared at them dangerously . They immediately kept quiet out of fear and began to eat angrily .
After the meal was over, Zhang Xiaohui did the dishes . Gu Yunshen had originally asked Gu Ruoqing to wash them, but Zhang Xiaohui could not bear to let her do it, so she washed them herself .
After that, the two of them returned to doing laundry and washing mushrooms .
Gu Qingyao glanced at them, then went to get the broom and cloth to clean up the area . Zhang Xiaohui was exhausted by the time she finished the laundry . It was exactly noon, and she wanted a nap, so she went back to her room .

When Gu Ruoqing saw that her mother had gone to sleep, she also sneaked away .
Gu Qingyao ignored them . After a while, she went to her grandparent’s room .
Grandfather was tidying the room, while Grandma rested on the bed . Gu Qingyao smiled . Grandfather really doted on Grandma .
Two bowls appeared in Gu Qingyao’s hand . Each bowl contained half a bowl of rice, and a few pieces of red braised pork . “Grandfather, Grandma, did you have enough just now? Eat this . ”
Gu Chonghua and Wen Ruyu’s eyes widened when they saw that their youngest granddaughter had brought them food .
Their son had told them a simplified version of their granddaughter’s strange encounter . But they had not really believed it . However, the food handed to them was definitely real .

Their son had not explained too much, so they had not asked too many questions . Their son had always been reliable, so they naturally trusted him .
They were shocked to see it with their own eyes .
The two of them took a bowl each and said, “Heavens! It’s really white rice and meat!”
Gu Qingyao was amused . “Of course it is . Grandfather and Grandma, go ahead and eat . I have plenty more here! But be careful and don’t let anyone find out . ”
Gu Chonghua said, “Of course . This is no laughing matter . ”
