Chapter 124 Lazy
There's nothing I can do about it, she likes to be lazy after all.
Although the cooking pot at home is relatively small, it is only slightly smaller than the ones used by other families in the village, which are only about one meter large.
The pot that Gu Wan bought has a caliber of 42. The smallest pot in the village is , but Gu Wan's pot is actually almost enough.
When the time comes, go to Wu the bamboo craftsman to get the steamer, put it on top of this pot, and you can steam rice directly.
The steamed rice here is different from that in other places. You put the rice into the pot and cook it first, and then use a spatula to slide it from time to time.
When the rice in the pot starts to turn white and expand a little, take the rice out of the pot with a bamboo sieve and put it into a wooden barrel for steaming.
Gu Wan was not planning to buy a wooden barrel, but the effect should be the same if she put cotton cloth on the steamer.
After cleaning all the pots, turning them upside down, he took out all the firewood from the stove, leaving a little spark inside, filled a clean kettle with water and placed it on top, then prepared to go out and see Wu the bamboo craftsman.
She had to get the steamer back early so that she could prepare dinner earlier.
The medical team's food was taken to the kitchen cabinet in advance. In addition to some glutinous rice, there were also dozens of kilograms of sweet potatoes, which would have to be shredded in time.
When I thought about it this way, time seemed to be very tight and I walked very fast.
At this time, everyone in the village is working. What is different from usual is that the elderly are queuing up at the infirmary. Although the people working are under the scorching sun, they are particularly motivated today, with happy smiles on their faces.
"Gu Zhiqing?"
Gu Wan heard someone shouting and looked around in confusion. A person walked out from the shore of the sweet potato field.
Although this is a sweet potato field, there are rows of corn planted along the edges of the fields.
The corn yield here is not high and the amount planted is small, but in order to grow more food, rows of corn are planted on the banks of each vegetable field.
It turned out that the person was picking corn, so when she spoke, Gu Wan didn't see the person clearly at first.
When the man came closer, Gu Wan couldn't call out the other person's name for a long time.
The person on the other side saw her stunned, and did not blame her, but said with a smile:
"What is Gu Zhiqing going to do?"
"Hello, I'm going to Wu the bamboo craftsman's house to get something."
The man nodded and adjusted the hat on his head. There was a hole on the hat, which was sewn with a piece of gray cloth.
"I'm Yanni and Dongnan's mother. My last name is Xiao." She licked the dry and chapped corners of her mouth, but her eyes were paying attention to Gu Wan's reaction. "Well, I heard that the medical team is living with you?"
It turned out to be the mother of Cao Dongnan and Cao Yanni. The smile on Gu Wan's face became more sincere. She had heard about it before, and now she saw that the person in front of her was indeed exceptionally thin.
"Hello, what can I do for you?"
"Well, I, I grew some vegetables at home, they're all edible. Do you want to take some back?" She asked cautiously. There was not much flesh on her face, just a layer of skin covering the bones, which made her look very scary.
It seems that he is really seriously ill.
"No, thank you, sister-in-law. There are vegetables to eat at home."
Seeing Gu Wan's refusal, she felt embarrassed for a moment, feeling a little at a loss. Her lips moved for a while, and then she raised her head and said sorry to Gu Wan, then left on her own.
Gu Wan looked at her back and hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to do.
She didn't refuse Fang Ping's food because of her. She just refused out of habit. The main reason was that she didn't have the habit of taking other people's things casually, especially from strangers. If someone asked her to go to her house to get food right away, she would definitely feel uncomfortable, right?
Just looking at Xiao Lihua's appearance, which looked so pitiful, Gu Wan felt a little uncomfortable. She sighed, turned around and continued walking towards the Wu family.
After walking a short distance, someone blocked their way again.
"What is Gu Zhiqing doing alone?"
Gu Wan frowned and looked at Zhu Suxia in front of her with some displeasure, but she hadn't done anything to her yet, so it was not a good idea for her to lose her temper at her right away.
But he still looked rather cold and polite.
"I ordered some things from Wu the bamboo craftsman. Let's go take a look."
"Hey, do you need help? How about I go with you to get it?"
Gu Wan looked at her suspiciously, with suspicion clearly in her eyes, which made Zhu Suxia feel a little embarrassed. However, after working in the countryside for so long, she had already developed a thick skin.
"No need, you should just keep working. Be careful that the scorekeeper sees you or he will deduct your work points."
Zhu Suxia's face really turned serious. She looked around and saw that no one was around. Then she smiled and said to her:
"Gu Zhiqing, do you have any misunderstandings about me? Why do I feel like you don't like me very much? There doesn't seem to be any conflict between us, right?"
In fact, Zhu Suxia had long noticed that Gu Wan was particularly indifferent to them. She believed that she had little contact with Gu Wan, let alone offending her.
"There is no misunderstanding. You are not wrong. I don't have a good impression of the educated youth sites."
Zhu Suxia suddenly realized. After coming back these days, she had heard some things about Gu Wan and knew that she had indeed suffered a lot of bullying at the educated youth center.
No wonder she was so cold to me.
With a smile in her eyes, she walked forward and wanted to hold Gu Wan's arm to show closeness, but Gu Wan gently dodged her.
"If Zhu Zhiqing has nothing else to do, I'll go over first."
"Well, then, Gu Zhiqing, go and do your work. I'll come and play with you when I'm free."
"okay!"
Gu Wan was afraid of meeting anyone on the road again, so she walked quickly towards Wu the bamboo craftsman's house. Fortunately, she didn't meet any strange people along the way.
When she arrived at Wu's house, Shitou was weaving a sieve at the door. When he saw her, he immediately stood up and asked, "Sister Gu, why are you here?"
A lot of things were ordered from the Wu family, and Shi Tou was the one who received them every time. After a few visits, the two became more and more familiar with each other.
"Busy?"
Shitou nodded and put down what he was holding: "Yes, Sister Gu, are you here to get something?"
"Yeah, I just happened to come over to see if everything is ready."
A steamer had been sent to her before, but the one they made was too big. It was made according to the size of the big pots in the village, and it was not suitable for Gu Wan's.
But because it was my own fault and I didn't explain it clearly, I decided to make a new one and gave the new big one to Fang Ping's family.
The steamer was the same one used to steam buns in breakfast shops. Gu Wan had originally planned to use it to heat up meals, and it was also convenient for steaming breakfast.
I didn't expect that I have to steam the rice first.
"It's ready. My dad went to the mountains to cut bamboo early this morning. He originally said he would bring it to you in the evening."
"That's just right, I'll just take it away?"
