23. Mind

After the funeral was done, Gu Cheng finally had the leisure to sit down and take stock of the family's income. At the beginning, his father split up and brought the farmhouse property, although it was sold one after another, so he had some foundation. After the accounting, it is enough for him to live peacefully for a year or two.

But as the saying goes, people have no long-term concerns, but they must have near-term worries. Men's families can't always be idle and sit idle. Gu Cheng closed the account book and decided to go out to find something to do in the near future.

Shen Huan listened curiously, and asked jokingly, "What will you do, roughly speaking, I will think about it for you." ”

Gu Cheng put on a serious thinking look, but there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, "I know how to do martial arts, but I'm afraid my level is not enough to perform on the street; It's not a small job, and you can't pick your shoulders and you can't lift it, and selling coolies seems to be almost meaningless......"

Before he finished speaking, Shen Huan snorted and laughed first, his lips slightly revealing a little teeth, and his starry eyes flashed with a clear light.

In her memory, she didn't seem to have smiled so brightly, especially when she smiled, revealing a rare touch of softness and coquettishness.

Gu Cheng was stunned unconsciously, and after a while, he saw her stretch out her hand and shake it in front of her eyes. He withdrew his gaze, and she regained her usual appearance, still smiling lightly and asking him, "Go on, what do you think you can do on your own?" ”

It turned out that they were talking about this just now, but his mind was still chaotic, and he was so speechless that he forgot what he wanted to say.

He didn't speak, but she thought of the words first, and said, "If you want to take care of me, then you don't have to." You know, I've never liked to use those flower powders, and I haven't taken them off yet, and I don't need to make bright clothes. Usually the biggest expense is nothing more than a meal for the two of us, which can cost a few dollars. Even if you don't go out to look for trouble, you can still live a stable life. ”

His mind slowly cleared up, and he disagreed, "Then you can't be at home every day, we two big eyes and small eyes, you should be annoyed after a long time." ”

"What about going out for a yo-yo?" Not quite satisfied with his answer, she frowned and recalled, "You didn't say that you want to accompany me to see the world outside." ”

When did he say that? lowered his eyes and pretended to be indifferent, "You're still young, it's not suitable for wandering." ”

"Who do you say is small?" Her eyes were faint and glowing with cold light, this word was a violation of her recent taboo, and when she mentioned it, it was a burst of fire.

He had a heart in his heart, and he understood it instantly, and hurriedly coaxed her, "It's not small, it's not small, it's enough to break through the rivers and lakes." When I go out in the future, I'm afraid I will have to rely on you to protect me. ”

She didn't say anything, and the corners of her mouth raised a delicate arc, just for the two words of the future that came out of his words. Who knows? Maybe he was just talking about it, but she really cared.

Gu Cheng didn't pay attention to the changes in the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, and then said, "I want to find a family with ethnic studies to teach children to read. ”

She happily approved, and said, "Yes, it's a business worthy of you." ”

In the past, she didn't finish her two sentences without squeezing him, but now she suddenly praised him, Gu Cheng felt embarrassed, "What is worthy or not, just don't mislead people's children." ”

"What's so modest about this," she glanced at him, "you're a Jinshi of both ranks, and you've entered both of the Golden Palace." Although it's not a big deal to get there, it's always more than enough to teach a hairy child. ”

Even the Golden Palace disdains it, and this tone is what she can handle. Gu Cheng smiled when he heard this, "Then it's decided, I'll go out and look for it tomorrow." ”

He is a person with meritorious reputation, Ding Wei was an official before, and he has always had a good reputation. So I didn't ask too much people, and I didn't run a few places, so I was hired as a gentleman in a private school a few miles away from home.

During the day, Shen Huan was left alone at home, and she wanted to learn some work on the stove when she had nothing to do, although Gu Chengnever refused to teach her, but after a while, she looked at it and felt as if she had realized something.

I couldn't stand the whim, and remembered that I couldn't eat dumplings on the winter solstice just past, which was the attention of the northerners, but unfortunately I was busy with the funeral at that time, and no one mentioned this stubble again.

I went out to buy the fillings, and when I came back, they were nothing more than some vegetarian dishes and vegetarian assortments, and when I cut them into small cubes and was ready to scoop a spoonful of noodles, I suddenly remembered that I didn't know how to make dumplings at all.

She is a person who must succeed if she has her intentions, so she left her things and ran out of the five miles, found Hanxiang's house, and dragged people out of the house.

"The girl wants to learn how to make dumplings?" Hanxiang's eyes widened, in disbelief, "Which one is this?" Could it be that now you are serving the third master's meal? ”

No wonder Hanxiang thinks it's incredible, she and Gu Cheng stand together, no matter who looks at it, she is the only one who supports Gu Cheng and bullies Gu Cheng, saying that she can serve him, which is really not enough to make people believe it.

Thinking so, his mouth began to make up for it, "No, he goes out to teach during the day and can only come back at noon." It's freezing at this time, and I can't go home and I don't even have a hot meal. ”

Hanxiang pursed her lips and smiled when she heard this, and looked around the neatly cleaned kitchen, laughing even more.

"What's the fun?" Shen Huan stared at her, "Don't hold back the good words, I'll listen to them when you say them." ”

Hanxiang waved her hand, and finally stopped laughing, "I was thinking, now the girl has the appearance of being a family." ”

These three words are very good, and I can hear the ripples in Shen Huan's heart lake, and it shakes for a while. She was not a person who twisted, and then smiled frankly, "I was originally from this family. ”

"Yes, yes, that's what it means." Hanxiang looked at the sky, "Let's hurry up, we have to start with the stuffing first." ”

Hanxiang is only responsible for moving her mouth, Shen Huan does it step by step according to what she said, fortunately, she has good wrist strength in martial arts, and she knows how to make skill, kneading dough and dough is not a problem, and she is also handy when she pinches dumplings.

When she was done, she took twenty of them to Hanxiang and took them home, and she looked at the finished products on the case, all of them looked like small ingots carved by jade, no matter how she looked at them, she felt good-looking.

In winter, the days are short, and the shadow of the sun is gradually slanting westward, Shen Huan is not in a hurry, just sitting in the kitchen and waiting for Gu Cheng to come back.

But his ears were not idle, and he listened intently to the movement outside. Gu Cheng walks lightly, but it is not difficult for her to distinguish, even among thousands of people, she is confident that she can recognize it.

A heart suddenly lifted, because when she heard him push open the door and come in, she didn't care about her careful thoughts, stood up and walked out.

She had a faint smile on her face, and so did Gu Cheng, and when she saw her, she asked first, "Are you hungry?" I came back late today, so I brought you something to eat. ”

She looked down his arm, and sure enough, she saw a food box. Pine, the workmanship is not exquisite. So Fang Cai's little smile gradually condensed, and his face sank, "Have you eaten?" ”

He was closing the door with his backhand, just didn't hear her words clearly, and subconsciously asked, "What did you say?" ”

He was stunned when he finished speaking, because he saw that she was glaring at him coldly, and then he turned his gaze, and did not look at him again, turned around and went to the west room with his sleeves brushed up.

Gu Cheng looked dazed, and couldn't help but wonder which of his words provoked her, and after a while, she still felt like falling into a fog.

Fortunately, he was always in a hurry, thinking that she had just come out of the kitchen, so he hurriedly ran in to see what was going on. When I pushed the door open, a small dumpling with a curtain jumped into my eyes.

Suddenly, I was startled, followed by joy, and then on my eyebrows. After a long time of surprise and then joy, Fang Jue felt a sweet feeling in his throat.

Standing in place and thinking about it, Gu Cheng understood, it turned out that she felt that she had not cherished a piece of her heart, so she became annoyed. It is said that she has a big temper, but he has always been good at thinking about others, and he feels that he can understand this idea.

Putting down what he was holding, he went to the Westroom first, knocked on the door, and no one answered. Pushing the door in, I saw her crooked on the bed, flipping through a book in her hand, I don't know if I read it, anyway, I didn't mean to look up at him.

She blindly kept a cold face, so he had to pretend not to notice it, and asked kindly, "Don't you go to dinner?" ”

"Don't eat it." She still didn't raise her eyes, and her tone was a categorical refusal, "I don't have an appetite." ”

He laughed in his heart, but he didn't dare to laugh at this time, so he forcibly said, "It's better to eat two bites, the things are there, don't waste them." ”

"I just like to waste things." She became more and more angry, and her face tightened, "You feel sorry for the money, you eat it yourself." ”

It's purely an evil fire, and he is unintentional in reasoning, not to mention that he brought food back because he was worried about her. Since each other is thinking about each other, they shouldn't make trouble to the point of inseparability.

In fact, it doesn't hurt for a girl to have a little temper, sometimes she can show her reserve and preciousness, Gu Cheng thought about it and changed his words, "Then I won't wait for you, I'll eat first, I'm hungry." Turning around and strolling out, he said to himself, "I wanted to eat dumplings a few days ago......"

Shen Huan's ears were spiritual, not to mention that he was Cheng Xin to tell her, his eyes lit up, and he sat up from the bed, "What are you muttering?" Seeing that his feet did not stop, he shouted again, "You come back!" ”

Gu Cheng obediently paused and looked back with a smile, "Let's go, I'm really hungry." ”

It's rare that there is a three-point coquettish meaning in these words, and it is even more precious to put it on a righteous gentleman!

Shen Huan only sneered, tried to tighten the corners of his mouth, looked at him, and teased slowly, "Third brother, how do I feel, you have been a little bad at learning recently." ”

Fang just held back for a long time, and now it's okay, he laughed more and more, and the words in his heart flowed out of his mouth like a wild horse, "I'm not much better." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he already felt that something was wrong, what kind of dialogue was this, and what was he thinking? What should she think of him if she heard what he meant? Will she think crookedly first?

It's a mess! The more I thought about it, the more chaotic I became, the more panicked I became, my face was hot for a while, and even the back of my ears began to heat up, which was really embarrassing.

Gu Cheng didn't dare to look at her at all, so he took advantage of her reminiscence of that sentence, opened the door, and fled from under her nose again.
