By the time she emerged from her room, her grandma, Wen Ruyu, had almost finished washing the clothes and was about to hang them up to dry.
Gu Qingyao said, "Grandma, are you hungry? I'll cook for you. Brother Beihan bought buns and red braised pork from the state-run restaurant but didn't finish, so we brought it back."
Even Grandma Wen Ruyu could not help but look eager when she heard that there was meat. Wen Ruyu had lived well when she was young, but unfortunately had encountered times like this, and had suffered much in recent years.
In these times, commoners only had a taste of meat at the end of the year when they killed the pigs and distributed the meat. Under normal circumstances, one needed both money and coupons to buy meat from the grocery store, and even then, it was not always available.
If not for Eldest, Second and Third Uncle, the Gu family could not possibly afford to eat such things.
