Chapter 221 Dinner
Old Mrs. Shen heard Gu Jiandong's voice and came out of the kitchen, "The jerky is ready. I'm just waiting for Jiandong to come back."
She looked at the package in the basket, "Did Guaibao go to the county town?"
"I came out of Erniu's house. It was still early, so I went to the county town. I just happened to bring back a package."
Old Lady Shen took the package down and said, "This is sent by your uncles again. Grandma made some dried meat. I'll pack it up later. Go to the county tomorrow and send it to them.
My dear, your uncles are so kind to you. We should remember their kindness in our hearts and repay them if we have the chance.
Logically, they don't need to send these things to you, but they are kind-hearted and know that your father is most worried about you, and your uncles take care of you as if you were their own niece.
They are kind and righteous, and our family cannot take their efforts for granted. We must remember their kindness in our hearts."
The fourth son and his wife died, and they receive a pension every month. They live in the countryside and can earn food by working. With food and pension, even without these packages, her sweet baby can still live a good life.
The old woman had told the fourth brother's comrades many times not to send packages, but after a few months, packages still arrived.
"Grandma, I will always remember the kindness that the uncles have shown me."
Old Mrs. Shen took the package back into the house, opened it, and looked to see what had been sent so she could remember it.
Shen Shuyu came in and said, "Grandma, there is a package sent by Xiaobao's mother."
"Send some dried meat to Xiaobao's mother tomorrow." There weren't any good things at home, so the only thing that could be sent was dried meat.
"it is good."
Old Mrs. Shen opened the package. The package sent from the army contained a military coat. The military coat was thick, no wonder the package was so big.
Shen Shuyu tried it on herself and found it was the size she could wear, neither too big nor too small, just right.
Old Mrs. Shen opened another package and took out a military coat. In addition to the military coat, there was also a bottle of malted milk in the package, which was sent by Su Jing.
Shen Shuyu bought two more military coats in the afternoon. She already had two in her closet. With these two, she now had four military coats. Shen Shuyu couldn't even wear them all.
"Grandma, I have two military coats in my room. You and Second Aunt can wear them."
This is for my eldest granddaughter. The clothes have to be worn by my eldest granddaughter. "No, grandma, don't wear it. Your father brought me a military coat back then. It's in the closet now. It's still new. Grandma has clothes to wear. Your second aunt just made a new cotton-padded coat. She also has clothes to wear.
Take your two military coats back to your room and keep them there so that they can be worn in turn."
Shen Qiu ran in and said, "Grandma, sister, can you let me wear your military coat for a while?" Shen Qiu had never worn a military coat, and the little girl really wanted to try it on.
Shen Shuyu took one and handed it to her, "Put it on."
Old Lady Shen reminded, "Xiao Qiu, be careful not to dirty your sister's clothes."
Even without Old Lady Shen telling him, Shen Qiu was very careful when wearing his military coat, fearing that it would get damaged or dirty.
After she put it on carefully, she turned around twice in front of Old Lady Shen and Shen Shuyu, "Grandma, Big Sister, do I look good in the military coat?"
Old Mrs. Shen praised her granddaughter, "It's beautiful. My granddaughter looks good in anything she wears."
Shen Shuyu also praised, "It's really beautiful."
Shen Qiu was very happy. He went out and hung around Old Man Shen, Uncle Shen Er, and Li Caixia for a long time. They all praised the decoration as beautiful as they saw.
Only Gu Jiandong didn't praise her, and the little girl was quite dissatisfied. "Brother Jiandong, don't you think I look good in a military coat?"
Gu Jiandong was playing with a white radish. He looked up at her and said, "It doesn't look good. It looks best when worn by Shu Yu."
Well, there was no need for her to ask Brother Jiandong. If he thought it was ugly, it was because he had no taste.
Shen Qiu put on her military coat, walked around in front of her family, went into her grandmother's room, and carefully took off her clothes.
Shen Qiu didn't dare to wear it for too long, for fear that she would accidentally get the clothes dirty.
And this is new, her elder sister hasn't worn it yet.
Shen Shuyu liked this point about Shen Qiu, that he had a sense of propriety and would say what he meant.
"Xiao Qiu, you can wear the military coat for a while." Nowadays, no one doesn't like military coats. Having a military coat is something you can show off every day.
"I'll be fine after wearing it for a while. I don't feel comfortable wearing the military coat." Shen Qiu didn't dare to wear the new military coat. She went out for fun all day long. What would she do if it got torn or dirty?
If she had a military coat, she wouldn't be willing to wear it out.
Liu Pan came in and said, "Shu Yu, please lend your military coat to Third Aunt for a while."
As she entered her mother-in-law's room, Uncle Shen followed in, "Shu Yu, don't listen to your aunt, she has cotton clothes to wear."
As he said that, he pulled Liu Pan out to look at him.
Old Lady Shen and her eldest granddaughter said, "My dear, ignore her."
Gu Jiandong has been training Bai Luobo these past two days. Bai Luobo is very competitive and can learn as soon as Gu Jiandong teaches him. The Shen family is amazed at Bai Luobo's cleverness.
Gu Jiandong made a few small balls, threw them out and asked Bai Luobo to pick them up. Gu Jiandong did not always throw them in the same direction. Bai Luobo picked up the balls very quickly and reacted very quickly each time.
When Shen Shuyu went out, Gu Jiandong was training Bai Luobo. As soon as the ball was thrown, Bai Luobo jumped up, caught the ball in the air, swung its tail and came over, putting the ball at Shen Shuyu's feet, looking for praise.
Shen Shuyu rubbed the dog's head, "White radish is great, so smart, I'll cook sweet potato porridge for you later."
With sweet potato porridge to eat, the white radish's tail wagged even more happily.
Gu Jiandong called it over, but Bai Luobo ignored him.
Yang Fangfang's younger brother is getting married tomorrow. The Shen family is the Yang family's in-laws, so they will go to the wedding to attend the wedding.
Afraid that her family would forget, Zhang Cuicui said, "Dad, Mom, second brother, Caixia, third brother, Panxiao, don't forget to bring the children to Fangfang's house for the wedding banquet tomorrow."
No one has forgotten about drinking at the wedding. “No, no.”
Li Caixia decided not to eat tonight and save her stomach for the banquet tomorrow. Liu Pandi had the same idea and planned not to have dinner tonight, so she didn't cook dinner.
Uncle Shen went to the kitchen and saw that the stove was cold and the pots were empty.
Shen Shuyu is not very interested in banquets, especially those in winter.
She was not interested, but Shen Qiu was. She loved banquets the most. She went into her eldest sister's room early in the morning and said, "Sister, let's go to my eldest sister's family's house. I heard from my eldest sister that the bride is very pretty. She is from the city and her face is whiter than tofu."
Shen Shuyu curled up in bed and didn't want to get up. "It's still early. It's not time for the banquet yet. What are you going to do? I'm not going."
Shen Qiu annoyed her elder sister for a while in the room, and went to Yang's house first. Not long after, she came back with a bowl in her hand, pulling Shen Shuyu's quilt, "Eldest sister, I brought you meatballs, you should get up and eat them, they are delicious."
