Then he grinned and wagged his tail as he looked at Gu Jiandong as if he was about to praise the dog.
Gu Jiandong took the time out from work to touch the furry child and praised it, "White radish is great."
The Shen family was working on the other side. They didn't know that Gu Jiandong had returned and was working in the fields. When Old Mrs. Shen saw him sitting in the yard, she took bigger steps.
"Jiandong is back. When did you come back? Why didn't you tell us in advance so we could pick you up?"
"I got off the bus around 2:00 in the afternoon and went to the commune to wait for Shu Yu to get off work and come back together."
He was still covered in corn leaves. Old Lady Shen knew at a glance that this child had come back to work in the fields. "You, why don't you take a break after coming back? You don't need to do the work in the fields."
Old man Shen smiled and patted the child's shoulder, "You've lost weight. You have to eat more when you get home."
Gu Jiandong has indeed lost weight. When he was stupid before, he was like a glutton. He would eat as much as he could when it was time to eat, and he would not be idle when he went out to play.
Then, with a bag of food in my pocket, after I finished eating the snacks, it was time to go home for dinner.
Old Mrs. Shen and Shen Shuyu were always worried that the child would be hungry, so they urged him to eat more every day. In less than half a year, Gu Jiandong had a small belly.
It was only after Gu Jiandong returned to the army and intensified his training that his belly fat went away.
Shen Shuyu made dinner tonight, which consisted of pheasant stewed with mushrooms, cold cucumber salad, and corn grits porridge as the staple food.
Old Man and Old Lady Shen came back just in time, and the pheasant stewed with mushrooms was almost ready.
Shen Shuyu filled a bowl of porridge for the white radish, "Grandma, Second Aunt, Gu Jiandong is ready to eat."
"Shu Yu, I'm going to take a shower." After picking corn in the cornfield, Gu Jiandong came back and felt his arms and neck were a little itchy. He was covered in sweat and had to take a shower first.
"Go."
Old Mrs. Shen and Shen Chunling often go into Gu Jiandong's house to clean it. Although no one lives there, his house is always clean.
In this weather, there is no need to take a hot bath. Gu Jiandong just filled a bucket of water and went into the bathroom.
He hadn't bathed Bailuo for a long time. Bailuo happily followed him in, but was chased out by Gu Jiandong. "I'll give you a bath later."
Uncle Shen and his family came back later. When they heard from their mother that Gu Jiandong had returned, they all went up to him to show their concern for him.
"Uncle, second uncle, third uncle, I'm doing well in the army, everything is fine."
When he came back, Old Man Shen had another reason to drink. He said to Old Lady Shen frankly, "Old lady, Jiandong is back. Today is a good day. Jiandong and I will have a couple of drinks."
"Okay, but you still have to go to work tomorrow, so don't drink too much and delay your work." She asked again, "Jiandong, if you can't drink, just have a small sip with your Grandpa Shen as a token of your appreciation. It's the same if you use boiled water instead of wine."
Old Mrs. Shen has not forgotten that Gu Jiandong was drunk before.
"Grandma Shen, I can drink a little. I'll have a couple of drinks with Grandpa Shen tonight."
Uncle Shen and the others grinned and said, "Dad, we'll drink with you tonight." They were also craving for wine.
I was too tired from working, and my back and waist ached. I thought it would be more comfortable to drink some wine and sleep. The three brothers Shen Jiabao also smiled and said, "Master, we will accompany you too."
Old man Shen was extremely happy. The more people there were, the better it was for drinking. It was more lively, especially since these people were not outsiders but his son and grandson. Old man Shen waved his hand and said, "Bring your own stools and sit over here."
Fortunately, Shen Shuyu has always been generous and cooked a big pot of porridge. Uncle Shen and the others will have dinner with them tonight, so there is enough porridge.
After working for a day, Old Lady Shen didn't let them drink alcohol right away. She asked them to drink a bowl of porridge first, and then a sip of soup before letting them drink alcohol.
The men in the family all went to eat with their parents-in-law, so Zhang Cuicui and the others still had to cook. However, since they were the only ones eating, it was easier and a bowl of corn porridge was quick to cook.
Liu Pandi from the third room had to eat alone, so she simply didn't cook. There were two steamed buns left at noon, and she ate them directly.
Gu Jiandong sat next to Shen Shuyu. Although he was drinking with Old Man Shen and the others, he was very considerate. Knowing that Shen Shuyu didn't like chicken skin, he first tore off the chicken skin and gave her the skinless meat.
Whatever she wanted to eat, Gu Jiandong would always be the first to give it to her. His eyes were always on Shen Shuyu. Old Mrs. Shen and Shen Chunling were nothing but satisfied when they saw her.
Shen Shuyu is even more so, her heart is sweet, and the word "happy" is written all over her body. On weekdays, Gu Jiandong is not at home.
Shen Shuyu also missed him, so she kept finding things to do. When she was busy, she had no time to think about him.
