1960s: The crazy life after the alchemy furnace became a spirit

Chapter 46 Uninvited Guests
"Not dead yet?"

The rabbit was still warm to the touch and was still breathing. Qin Haonan looked at Gu Qingwu in surprise, and Gu Qingwu nodded with a smile.

"Yeah, it's hard to deal with death."

Gu Qingwu said as a matter of course. What could Qin Haonan say? He could only go and deal with the rabbit obediently. After seeing Qin Haonan deal with the rabbit, Gu Qingwu went back to the room to wash up.

After all, she had to wash up before going up the mountain. She felt that she was covered in dust. She changed her clothes and planned to wash the clothes she wore when going up the mountain. She felt that she had a bit of mysophobia and she had to pay attention to it next time.

Qin Haonan was processing rabbits in the backyard. He skinned and gutted all the rabbits and then cleaned them.

He planned to ask Gu Qingwu what she planned to do.

Gu Qingwu tidied herself up, and Qin Haonan also came in carrying the rabbit.

"Is this rabbit going to be eaten tonight?"

Qin Haonan frowned. Although he was not worried about other people's jealousy, he was worried that Gu Qingwu would be excluded in the staff quarters.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. That means people in the army have been quite busy recently, otherwise, who knows what those family members would do.

"Wait until the weekend."

Anyway, they still have some braised offal.

"alright."

Hearing Gu Qingwu say this, Qin Haonan nodded.

"I'll salt this rabbit and hang it in a cool place."

If it is hung in a warm place, it may go bad. If there are mice, the meat will not be for them to eat but will be fed to the mice.

Gu Qingwu also took some precautions against mice. She simply put some medicine there so that snakes, rats, insects and ants would avoid her. But Gu Qingwu was still worried. Qin Haonan was also worried because he liked to scrape the meat.

At noon, the two of them had a simple meal, consisting of cornmeal and white flour pancakes, and cabbage stewed in brine.

Qin Haonan thought it was delicious, and Gu Qingwu also thought it tasted good. They were both good eaters, and they ate about ten pancakes. They were all the size of a palm, not the size of a woman's palm, but the size of a man's palm.

"Qingqing, your cooking is so delicious. I don't even like eating in the cafeteria anymore."

After the meal, Qin Haonan said with emotion that he really didn't like eating in the cafeteria. The food in the cafeteria was just so-so. Don't even think about the heavy oil and salt. At most, it was a little salty, but the rest of the taste was tasteless.

He didn't think it was a big deal before, but now, after eating too much food made by Gu Qingwu, he feels that the food in the cafeteria is really not that good, and is not even as good as what he cooks.

"If you don't like it, go home and eat it."

Gu Qingwu said with a smile, what could she say about Qin Haonan saying he didn't like eating in the cafeteria? Qin Haonan had to eat in the cafeteria anyway. Sometimes, they were so busy that they didn't even have time to eat.

"I'll make you some dried meat or something and put it in your office. If you get busy one day, you can take it out and fill your stomach."

Gu Qingwu planned to make some dried meat and biscuits for Qin Haonan. As for how to make them, she planned to build a kiln in the yard, and she thought she should be able to make them by then.

Well, when making cookies, she needs milk powder or something, and if that doesn’t work, she’ll find a way to get some goat’s milk.

We’ll talk about this later.

"Row."

Qin Haonan smiled, a very bright smile. The more he was with Gu Qingwu, the calmer he found himself. He liked being with Gu Qingwu. Even if the two of them did nothing, just simply talking and chatting, it would relax his mind. After talking and laughing for a while, it was time for Qin Haonan to go to work. Gu Qingwu did not stop him. Qin Haonan packed himself up and went to the army.

After Qin Haonan left, Gu Qingwu started knitting sweaters. After the sweaters were finished, she made cotton coats and trousers.

Alas, it’s because the development is not so advanced now, otherwise, we would just buy these things directly. What a pity.

While knitting a sweater and listening to the noises outside the family compound, Gu Qingwu felt that this kind of life was actually quite good. Even though she couldn't practice at this time, Gu Qingwu felt that this kind of life was good.

……

"Qingqing, Qingqing, are you home?"

Gu Qingwu was sitting in the yard knitting a sweater when she heard someone calling her outside the gate. Gu Qingwu replied.

"I am here."

She knew it was Chen Hongxia from the noise, but what she didn't expect was that after she opened the door, there was a woman standing outside.

She didn't know her, but seeing the woman's smiling face, Gu Qingwu was just slightly stunned and let Chen Hongxia and the others in.

"Two sisters-in-law, come in and sit down."

Chen Hongxia greeted the two of them warmly. She was not polite at all. She came in carrying a basin. It was only then that Gu Qingwu noticed the wooden basin in her hand.

"Sister-in-law, are you buying this for the water?"

Gu Qingwu immediately knew why Chen Hongxia came, but she didn't know why the woman who was with Chen Hongxia came, and she didn't know her.

Having been here for a while, Gu Qingwu still doesn't know many people in the family compound.

"It's lunchtime now. My husband ate the braised offal you made and loved it. So I came here to learn from you."

Chen Hongxia said with a smile, and Gu Qingwu did not refute.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will definitely teach you until you learn it."

Gu Qingwu said with a smile, and Chen Hongxia also smiled.

"I haven't introduced you yet. This is Ma Chunzhi, the wife of the Second Regiment Political Commissar. She is my neighbor. When she saw me carrying the fish to find you, she followed me out of curiosity."

Chen Hongxia was worried that Gu Qingwu would be unhappy, so she quickly explained that Gu Qingwu was not unhappy either. She liked people who didn't make trouble and didn't want the kind of person who wanted to take advantage of her all day long.

She doesn't like that, but as long as it's not excessive, she doesn't mind interacting with the other person.

"If sister-in-law likes, she can come with sister-in-law Hongxia."

Gu Qingwu said to Ma Chunzhi with a smile. When Ma Chunzhi heard what Gu Qingwu said, the smile on her face became much more sincere. She was still worried that Gu Qingwu would be unhappy. After all, she came to the house suddenly and left her no time to prepare.

"Then I won't be polite."

Ma Chunzhi said with a smile that her man and Chen Hongxia's man were not from the same group, but their two families were neighbors and got along well. When she recently learned that Chen Hongxia and Gu Qingwu had a good relationship, she was a little surprised because she knew Chen Hongxia's personality. Although Chen Hongxia was the kind of person who didn't care about anything, she was a person with a lot of plans in her heart.

If she really dislikes someone, she will get along peacefully with that person on the surface, but in reality, their relationship may not be good.

But Chen Hongxia and Gu Qingwu seemed to have a really good relationship. Plus, when Chen Hongxia was cooking at noon today, she used offal to make a stew. She was extremely curious because the dishes stewed with offal tasted really good. A meal of potatoes and cabbage was so delicious that it was beyond words. So, she heard that Chen Hongxia was coming to learn from her, so she came here shamelessly.
