Since he wanted to make dumplings, Gu Zhaocheng didn't go out to the river to fish for fish.
We don’t go there every day. After the river is frozen solid, it is quite time-consuming to cut through the ice layer of nearly one meter to catch fish.
He stayed at home to help make dumplings, Na Cunhua went to the market to buy meat, and Gu Zhaocheng processed pickled vegetables at home.
Take a few sauerkraut out of the tank, rinse away any floating matter on the surface, and squeeze out the water.
After cutting the sauerkraut briefly with a knife, continue to soak it in water for more than ten minutes, then squeeze out the water, and it can be chopped into pieces for filling.
For the sauerkraut at home, washing it twice is enough. If you wash it too much, it will lose its flavor.
As a woman with excellent cooking skills in the Northeast, Na Cunhua can naturally make good sauerkraut.
It's just that in this era, most people make it at home, and there isn't a good market yet.
Otherwise, the skill of saving flowers can be used to make money.
"Zhaocheng, it's not too early to eat dumplings. I'll make the noodles and you can help chop the meat."
After Gu Zhaocheng processed the sauerkraut and prepared it, Cunhua also bought a knife of meat from the vegetable market, which weighed about two kilograms.
"Okay, leave these to me."
The customer flow is also small, and the meat sellers are not very profitable. In this era, they don’t even have an automatic meat grinding machine, and they have to chop the meat fillings themselves.
Although the taste of minced meat by hand is better, this is not the reason why the meat seller does not provide mincing services.
In addition to good taste, sometimes convenience is also important.
The market here is still too small, and only one meat stall survives, so that the boss can save costs as much as possible without worrying about no customers.
"What day is it today and you can still eat dumplings?"
After waiting for the dumplings to be wrapped in two curtains and frozen outside, Gu Changshan also returned home.
Gu Changshan is not as good at work as Gu Zhaocheng.
Gu Zhaocheng took a break at any time for a month, except for working 20 days a day.
Gu Changshan has two production teams to manage. In addition to logging, there is still some administrative work.
The advantage of managing two work teams may be that you don't have to cut the trees yourself.
But the back-and-forth supervision is not necessarily easy.
"Isn't today a day to pay wages? It's my son's first time to get paid, so let's eat something good." Na Cunhua looked back to Changshan Road with a smile.
He is also a very simple person. He doesn’t have to worry about food and drink at home, so he can be very happy.
"That's right. It's the first time Zhaocheng has received his salary. I'll help you." Making dumplings has always been a family activity: "After making dumplings, we'll make a few side dishes, and we'll also have some drinks."
."
From some details, it can be seen that Gu Changshan still loves wine.
It's outdoor work, strenuous work, and the need to keep warm and relieve fatigue. It's hard not to like it.
"Okay, you two will take care of it, and I'll prepare some side dishes. When Zhaoxi comes back, let him buy wine."
Na Cunhua stood up and said, after Gu Zhaocheng was not at home, Gu Zhaoxi accepted the task of running errands in a small store perfectly.
"Mom, did Zhaoxi go home immediately after school?"
After I got a job, I had more things to do than before.
Gu Zhaocheng's supervision of Gu Zhaoxi became much more relaxed.
"After Zhaoxi is out of school, he can play if he wants to. Why do you keep restraining him?"
Na Cunhua is just like the other women in the forest farm.
They all think that it is good for children to go out and have fun. It is better for children to make noises outside than at home.
Parents are relatively relaxed, and their children also have a happy childhood.
I still don't quite understand Gu Zhaocheng's restraint on Gu Zhaoxi.
There is no cooperation with Gu Zhaocheng.
Gu Zhaoxi could fool the Cunhua and relax his supervision by saying a few nice words.
"Isn't that why I want Zhaoxi to learn from Xingjie? We'll have a college student in our family in the future. I'm so much older than Zhaoxi that I can't even hope to work in the forest farm. Now I can only work as a temporary worker in the forest farm.
, when Zhaoxi grows up, and if the forest farm is not good enough, he may not even be able to work as a temporary worker, so he will have to rely on his own learning to find a way out."
If he has time, Gu Zhaocheng is also willing to give some education to Na Cunhua.
Now that Gu Changshan and Na Cunhua are here, Gu Zhaocheng is more willing to talk.
Mountainous areas are relatively closed and are lagging behind in all aspects of influence.
The educational concept of saving flowers is still stuck in the random state of the previous twenty years.
We all know that going to college is a good thing, but we don’t force our children to work hard in this area.
If you can't go to college, then you have to inherit your father's business, and there are still some guarantees.
Even after being furloughed, my concept of saving money did not change so quickly.
I didn’t realize that even if the forest farm kids have no future, they can still work in the forest farm, and the guarantee of making a living is no longer there.
Even now, Cunhua is still optimistic about the forest farm. He still thinks that Gu Zhaocheng's temporary worker can be converted into a regular worker and work in the forest farm for the rest of his life.
He has been urging Gu Changshan to find a way to get Gu Zhaocheng to become a regular employee.
"Zhaocheng, you are right, you need to pay more attention to Zhaoxi. Go look for him outside and call him back. Then ask Zhaoxi to go to Liang's house and call Fengqin over and ask her
Come and eat dumplings at home, the kid likes them."
Gu Changshan still reads newspapers every day and has a deeper understanding of form.
Knowing how difficult the forestry farm was, Gu Zhaoxi probably couldn't afford the forestry farm.
Normally, I can be stricter with Zhaoxi and agree with Gu Zhaocheng to a certain extent.
It's just that Gu Changshan also has a job. Although he can go home every day, he can't supervise Gu Zhaoxi all the time.
"Okay, I'll go out to find Zhaoxi and buy some wine by the way."
Gu Zhaocheng agreed, rolled out some dough for Gu Changshan to wrap slowly, and then went out.
Asking Feng Qin to come to Gu's house for dinner is nothing.
As long as Feng Qin doesn't live in the Gu family and is raised by the Gu family as their own daughter, investing so much emotion into her.
Coming here for a meal once in a while is nothing.
The Gu family is quite generous and invites people to eat a lot, so they won't be stabbed in the back by these people, which will make them unbearable.
First, find Zhaoxi who is running wild outside, and then ask Zhaoxi to inform Fengqin. This is what this kid likes to do.
I went to a small store, bought some wine, and returned home.
Not long after, Xingjie also returned home from school.
Go next door and call Song Liuxi over. The number of people eating in the Gu family has returned to its previous peak.
With so many people eating, it was quite lively, chatting and laughing, noisy and full of fireworks.
Regardless of other considerations, there are still many people at home, so the atmosphere is better when eating.
After eating a little, people naturally divided into two waves.
The drinking group was divided into one group, that is, Gu Zhaocheng accompanied Gu Changshan and Song Liuxi, and they also talked about some forest farm matters.
The other group consisted of the remaining people, Cunhua and her three children, who talked more about school matters.
The conditions of Lao Gu's family were limited, and they only had a kang, so they were unable to provide a separate table for their children.
"Feng Qin, how is your life at home now? Are your parents still quarreling?"
Hearing Xingjie ask about Feng Qin's current situation, Gu Zhaocheng listened together.
It seems that both of them are going to school. Even the two closest people have not had many opportunities to communicate recently.
"A little better than before."
Feng Qin nodded and replied that it should be okay to stay at Liang's house.
She is still a biological mother after all, so she cannot be treated like a found child.
It is definitely incomparable to the Gu family. I just say that Liang Fukuan and Ma Eryi will fight if they have something to do.
It’s not like I’ve never seen children who have experienced this endure it.
When parents quarrel, it puts a lot of psychological pressure on their children.
Not to mention that if the couple quarrels, it is inevitable that there will be some remarks that will affect Feng Qin.
Feng Qin is not Feng Ju, but a child who grew up in these noisy environments.
You can completely turn a blind eye to your parents' quarrels and watch the show as a lively show.
But this problem is one that can be adapted.
Liang Fukuan and Ma Eryi quarreled every day, but they couldn't fight.
I went about my normal life the next day. I have experienced too much, and my skin has naturally faded.
Gu Changshan, the captain of the work team, would help other couples in the forest farm to break up the fight.
When you encounter the Liang family, they often quarrel, even more often than eating. If you don't come close to them, you will ignore them.
"How are you studying? Can you keep up with the courses here?"
"Okay, I'm already in the top few in this quiz in our class."
Children who study well just discuss their studies. At this time, Gu Zhaoxi automatically left the group.
Fengqin joined the class midway and didn't attend class for more than a month, yet her grades were better than Zhaoxi's.
Since his grades are stable, it shows that Feng Qin can still adapt to the Liang family.
The Liang family can guarantee Feng Qin's basics of being well-fed, clothed and well-educated.
The rest is Feng Qin's fate. With such a family, he will have such a childhood.
In an easy situation, there would be no domestic violence or anything like that in the Liang family.
"The final exam is coming soon. I will be back after the exam is over. Then the two of us can study together." Xingjie said to Feng Qin again.
Gu Zhaocheng hasn't paid much attention to Xingjie recently. He wonders if this kid still likes to go back to his shabby house to study.
If you guess based on your personality, there is still a high probability that he will run over.
Studying is still suitable for a quiet environment.
Studying in the Gu family not only affects the normal life of the Gu family, but also requires a gentle approach to work at home.
The Gu family couldn't give Xingjie an absolutely quiet study environment.
"Xingjie, if you want to take Fengqin to study with you during the holidays, please bring Zhaoxi with you."
"If Zhaoxi is willing, I will definitely be willing to take him."
Although Xingjie hasn't lived at home that long.
But I still know who Gu Zhaoxi is.
It would not be wrong to say that children like to get into trouble, but if they are naughty, they are really naughty.
On the one hand, he doesn't like to study. In normal times, he occasionally bullies children.
I'm fairly friendly to the kids on the 923 side, but I'm a bit hostile towards the kids on the 945 side.
Children of this age are still left alone, and there are very few who do not fight.
"If he is willing, if he is not willing, he will definitely be able to get a double hundred at the end of this semester."
Gu Zhaocheng grabbed Gu Zhaoxi who wanted to refuse and said forcefully.
I also made it clear to my little brother that if I can get full marks in the final exam, I don’t need to participate in the study after the holidays.
But this situation does not exist for Gu Zhaoxi.
"Brother, I don't want to go." Gu Zhaoxi and Gu Zhaocheng pleaded.
"You have to follow. Even if you don't study, you have to accompany Xingjie and Fengqin when they study. I don't believe that they, two top academics, can't educate you, a scumbag."
Gu Zhaoxi is not unintelligent, he is quite a clever child.
Even if you are not that smart in studies, you can still improve by following two top students.
Even if he really didn't study, he kept Gu Zhaoxi and these two quiet people together.
It can also help suppress your temper.
There is no loss in anything, there is no harm in anything.
"Xingjie, if Zhaoxi comes with you, it won't affect your studies, right?"
After Gu Changshan heard this, he asked Xingjie.
Asking like this actually proves that Gu Changshan still hopes that Gu Zhaoxi can learn well.
This is just polite, Xingjie would not be able to refuse.
Not to mention that Xingjie lived and ate in the Gu family, even if he didn't live and eat in the Gu family, even if the relationship between the two families was normal, it was hard to refuse people.
"Uncle, don't worry, it won't happen."
It does no harm to Gu Zhaoxi, but if it does harm, it may also affect Xingjie's study.
But considering Xingjie's bookish nature, he didn't even know there was a fire at home while he was studying.
It's hard to imagine that Zhaoxi's destructive power could affect Xingjie.
The next period of time will be the time for the final exams of each school.
Several children took the exam.
In terms of results, there are no surprises.
Xingjie's grades were very stable, but there were a lot of changes at home.
His grades are still among the top in the school.
As Xingjie's parent, Gu Changshan communicated with the teacher.
Once again, the teacher affirmed that Xingjie's grades can be admitted to a prestigious university.
Fengqin's grades were also good, although he did not become the first in the class.
Living in the Liang family had some impact on Fengqin's grades.
The Liang family doesn't even talk about helping their children learn, but they can't even provide them with a distraction-free learning environment.
But all of Fengqin's top five results are considered excellent.
Gu Zhaoxi's words would only give him a passing grade.
For primary school students, this result is really disappointing.
There is no excuse to quibble, just follow Xingjie and learn together.
"Xingjie, I guess you are not at home. You just came to your old house."
Gu Zhaocheng came home from work and saw no one at home, so he went to the Chen family's broken house to look for someone.
The Chen family's house that was burned by fire is basically still in its original condition.
There are open skylights on the roof, broken doors and windows, and blackened furniture.
When Xingjie tidied up his home, he just cleaned the floor so that people could barely get into the house.
There are still some purlins hanging down from the roof, making it a dilapidated building.
"Brother, it's quiet here, so I brought them here to study."
The kang must not be able to burn. The fire was caused by the stove that burned the kang in the first place.
The kang will no longer be usable without a new plate.
The three of them just lit a brazier on the Kang and managed to keep themselves warm.
If you don't think about it, it's still okay if the house is leaking air everywhere.
