Chapter 264 Stay to Help
"Mom, this was given by Lin Zhiqing. He said that one person could not finish it, so he asked Dad to use it to cook for you and Aunt Gu so that we can send it to the people in the mountains." Tiezhu couldn't wait to explain before the village chief.
"So that's how it is! No wonder this vegetable looks so familiar to me! It turns out it's the cabbage I picked from my own private plot!"
As the village head's wife spoke, she took the vegetables out of the basket and put them into the basin to wash together, while Gu's mother carefully took the eggs from another basket and put them away, still thinking about what dish to cook.
Because there are no tomatoes now and she can't make scrambled eggs with tomatoes, seeing the peppers not far away, Gu's mother decided to make scrambled eggs with green peppers.
"Since you are here, come and help!" The village chief's wife looked at her son Tiezhu, but actually she was speaking to the village chief.
"Mom, I'll help you wash the vegetables." Tiezhu felt sorry for his mother who had to soak her hands in cold water in such a cold weather, so he immediately rolled up his sleeves and squatted down to help wash the vegetables.
Although the village chief also felt sorry for his wife, he had some unsettled matters at the village committee, so he had no intention of helping.
Although he couldn't stay to help, he still said, "Tiezhu, you stay here and help your mother. I still have things to do, so I won't stay."
When the village chief said this, he was looking at his wife, as if he was talking to her.
"Go, go, go quickly." After hearing this, the village chief's wife waved her hand and started to drive people away.
"Okay, I'll leave now." Seeing that his wife was angry, the village chief dared not stay and turned around and walked out of the Gu family's gate.
"Look at you! Why are you so angry with your man? As the village chief, he must be a very busy man. He doesn't need to do trivial things like washing vegetables."
When Mother Gu saw that the village chief's wife didn't look very good, she quickly spoke well of the village chief. She didn't want a rift to arise between the two of them!
"I know he is busy, but I just feel bad. He has been the village chief for these years, going out early and coming back late every day, and he has no time to take care of his family." The village chief's wife took a deep breath and expressed the grievances that had been in her heart for all these years.
"Mom, I'm still at home!" Tiezhu patted his chest. He felt that he was more manly than ever at this moment.
With a chuckle, Gu's mother laughed, "Why are you still angry? Tiezhu is so caring! You can just wait to enjoy your life from now on!"
"Your fifth son is also a good one. You can expect to enjoy a good life in the future!" The village head's wife was of course happy to hear Gu's mother praising her son, so she started to speak well of Gu Tingxiao in front of Gu's mother.
"Well, Laowu is indeed a filial child." Mother Gu was very happy to hear someone praising her son, and nodded in agreement!
So Gu's mother and the village head's wife talked about their son while they were busy. It seemed that they had endless topics to talk about. As the person involved, Tiezhu could only concentrate on his work and didn't think about saying anything, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible!
Half an hour later, Gu's mother and the village chief's wife had finally prepared all the dishes and were waiting for the people arranged by Lin Jue to come and get the food!
"Mom, I'll go home first." Tiezhu was thinking about his pregnant wife, so he just wanted to go home as soon as possible to see her and feel at ease.
"Okay, then you can go home!" Although Tiezhu didn't say it explicitly, she had carried him for ten months and gave birth to him, so how could she not know what he was thinking! So she didn't stop him from leaving...
"Aunt, I'll go back then."
Tiezhu said something to Gu's mother and turned and left.
"Tiezhu really cares about his wife! Look how fast he is walking!" When Gu's mother saw Tiezhu's speeding figure, she couldn't help laughing.
"That's right! Unlike his father..."
Speaking of this, the village head's wife became dissatisfied again.
"Hey! Why are you thinking about this again? Doesn't the village chief have several duties? The burden on him is heavy! You have to bear more responsibility..." Seeing that the village chief's wife started to complain again, Gu's mother had to comfort her with a few words.
"I know this is the truth, but I also want him to take care of the family more, but he just can't do it."
The village chief's wife also understands her husband in her heart, but sometimes she just feels uncomfortable and wants to find someone to complain to!
"Oh! I don't know how to comfort you. Every family has its own problems." When Mrs. Gu thought about the two troublesome people in her family, she became worried.
"Don't worry about it." When the village chief's wife saw the look on Gu's mother's face, she knew that she was in a bad mood.
"Okay, let's forget about all these worries together. We should eat when we are supposed to eat and drink when we are supposed to drink. We are already this old, why do we have to think so much? It is better to live happily every day."
I have to say that at this time, Mother Gu was very clear-headed and saw the problem very clearly!
"Okay! Let's go together."
The village head's wife's mood instantly improved a lot. She lowered her head and whispered something to Gu's mother, who immediately blushed.
If Lin Xi saw this, she would definitely think that they were saying something with a sexual connotation, otherwise why would her face turn red?
Just as the two were talking in a low voice, the people arranged by Lin Jue knocked on the gate of Gu's courtyard.
"Auntie, is the food ready? Our leader asked us to come and get it."
There were five young men standing at the gate, and the tallest one was responsible for speaking.
"It's done, it's done. We're just waiting for you to come over! Come in and have a drink of water!"
Gu's mother and the village head's wife stood up to greet them and were about to pour them some water.
"Aunt, don't bother, we can just take the meal and leave, our brothers on the mountain are waiting to eat!" The tall young man grabbed Gu's mother who was about to pour water in time.
"Okay then! The food is ready, you just need to carry it away." Mother Gu didn't force her and pointed to the packed food on the side.
"Okay, aunties, you have worked hard." The tall young man saluted them, and the other young men followed suit and thanked them and saluted!
"You're welcome..." Gu's mother really wanted to say that your team leader has paid the wages, but the words did not come out, so she could only smile awkwardly.
The young men were not idle either. Thinking of their leader's instructions, they quickly lifted the things, said hello to Gu's mother and the village head's wife, and hurried back.
"These guys are really energetic. Who knows which girl will marry them in the future!" The village chief's wife suddenly said this as she looked at the five of them with strong backs.
"Don't even think about it. It's not your turn anyway. Besides, can't your man satisfy you?" Mother Gu joked about the village chief's wife.
"You're so good! You're actually making fun of me. I'll beat you up."
The blushing wife of the village head raised her hand and hit Gu's mother, who dodged left and right, "Come on, come on!"
The two of them kept chasing each other in the Gu family yard until the village chief's wife was exhausted and defeated, and the matter was over.
