Chapter 14: Repay (1/2)
Chapter 14 Repaying Grace
Gu Jiao finally understood why the original owner and Gu Xiaoshun could play together. The IQs of the two are basically in the same rank.
Today, Gu Jiao made pheasant stew with mushrooms. Although the pheasant tastes delicious, the meat is firmer than poultry. She simmered it in a large iron pot for two hours.
She also made a refreshing cold fungus and shredded white radish. The staple food is white rice and cornmeal pancakes baked on an iron pan.
Although Xiao Liulang only took the countdown test, Gu Jiao still took it seriously, so he killed all the chickens to Xiao Liulang to celebrate. It's just that she doesn't talk about it.
”Go and ask your brother-in-law to eat.” She took off the baked pancake and said to Gu Xiao.
”Hey!” Gu Xiaoshun went pipily.
Xiao Liulang just finished copying a book.
After some excellent candidates are admitted to Juren or Jinshi, they will borrow the books and notes with their own annotations, copy them and sell them to the rest of the candidates. This kind of book is more expensive than ordinary books, but there are still many candidates rushing to it.
Xiao Liulang's words are pleasing to the eye, and the books he copied are the best sellers.
”Brother-in-law! It's time to eat!” Gu Xiaoshun poked a small head through the crack in the door.
It’s good to be thick-skinned. It’s clear that a few days ago, he bullied people to death, and now it’s as affectionate as that.
Xiao Liulang's expression was as cold as ever. He didn't show the slightest surprise because of the change in Gu Xiaoshun's attitude, and of course, he didn't shake Gu Xiaoshun's face with Gu Xiaoshun's past ignorance.
Gu Xiaoshun suddenly felt that getting along with her brother-in-law was quite comfortable.
The three people sat down to eat.
Gu Xiaoshun first caught a piece of mushroom. In the impression, his sister does not cook, so he also tasted his sister's craftsmanship for the first time. He didn't expect it to be so delicious!
He took another piece of chicken.
Day!
It was so delicious that he was about to cry!
Gu Jiao took out two big drumsticks, one for Xiao Liulang and one for Gu Xiaoshun.
The chicken thighs were also stewed, and the gravy was full. After one bite, Gu Xiaoshun felt that he was going to heaven.
Xiao Liulang is very calm.
But if Gu Jiao knew his previous appetite, I am afraid she would not think so.
The two soon finished a bowl of rice. Gu Xiaoshun went to serve the rice. He caught a glimpse of Xiao Liulang's bowl being empty, and said: ”Brother-in-law, give you a bowl too!”
”Hmm.” Xiao Liulang did not refuse.
It is unknown whether he did not reject his kindness or the brother-in-law.
Gu Xiaoshun hurriedly went to serve the rice.
This is the most comfortable meal Gu Xiaoshun has ever eaten. It tastes good and the atmosphere on the table is good. Although his sister and brother-in-law did not speak, he could speak! All three of them ate very happily!
After dinner, Xiao Liulang helped Gu Jiao clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and Gu Xiaoshun went to the backyard to chop wood.
After entering the stove, Xiao Liulang suddenly placed a purse next to Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao looked at him weirdly.
”Home.” He said.
Xiao Liulang gave Gu Jiao two taels of silver, which he earned from copying books for more than a month, and there were only a dozen copper plates left on him. However, he is almost finished copying the book he has, and he should be able to get it to town to exchange money in two days.
Gu Jiao raised her eyebrows and glanced at the purse on the stove, took it over and accepted it.
After cleaning up the stove, Gu Jiao went to the village to fetch water, and Gu Xiaoshun snatched her pole: ”Sister, rest, I'll do this kind of rough work!”
He picked up the pole and left, but Gu Jiao didn't stop it.
At the moment everyone was eating in the house. No one came out to fetch water. He occupied the ancient well by himself. He was fetching water. Two mighty and mighty men rushed towards this side, and stopped talking. By Gu Xiaoshun's side.
The two stood up and got off the horse.
Gu Xiaoshun felt a bit of murderous aura.
He is a little villain in the village, and now he can see that the opponent has practiced martial arts, and all the villains in Shili Baxiang combined are not their opponents.
”Are you from this village?” one of the strong men asked.
”Uh...yes, what's the matter with you?” Gu Xiaoshun asked in a daze.
”We are here to find someone!” The strong man showed a broken umbrella and asked fiercely, ”Have you seen this umbrella?”
Why haven’t you seen it? That's his sister's umbrella!
Gu Xiaoshun's whole person is not good.
”Have you seen it?” The strong man squinted dangerously.
”I...I, I, I...” Gu Xiaoshun stammered, what did his sister do, how could such a terrible person come to her?
”Boy.” The strong man put out his big rough hand and gently pressed Gu Xiaoshun's shoulder, ”I persuade you to tell the truth, otherwise I will ask someone...”
This man is so powerful that he can't move half of his body!
