Chapter 164: It's So Sweet
Gu Yuanxiang stood on the edge of the kitchen, looking at the busy two, drinking juice and talking to them from time to time. Gu Yuanxiang felt that his brother's efforts during this time were not in vain, and the two cooperated so tacitly, obviously not the first time they had done this.
Wu Ziyan selected a few ingredients from the refrigerator, and Gu Yuanfeng spontaneously took them to deal with them, and the division of labor between the chef and the small assistant chef was very clear. Gu Yuanxiang saw that his brother's knife skills were good, and the shredded potatoes were cut thin and fast, and a bunch of shredded potatoes were cut between the knives in his hands.
Gu Yuanfeng intended to show his hand in front of his sister, and Gu Yuanxiang also expressed his face very well! When dinner was ready, Gu Yuanxiang was already hungry.
"Sister Ziyan, I am free to move the day after tomorrow, and when the time comes, you will do your best to take me around as a landlord. My brother will come with me if he has time. Gu Yuanxiang winked at Gu Yuanfeng.
"Don't worry, there will be time that day." Gu Yuanfeng assured with a smile on his face.
"Sister Ziyan, take my brother, you, are you okay?" Gu Yuanxiang asked with some tentativeness.
"Ask me what to do about your brother and sister." Wu Ziyan's face was quickly dyed a layer of rose red.
"Ahem, no opinion, just like it." Gu Yuanxiang coughed twice at Gu Yuanfeng, be subtle, don't stare at others like a pervert so straight.
Gu Yuanxiang chatted about the situation at home during this time, and before she came, she specially called Wu = one = this = read = novel xstxt grandpa to greet her, is there anything she wants her to bring to Wu Ziyan. Wu Qihuang has been informal all his life, although his granddaughter who grew up with him has also left him now, but he still can't say anything warm. But even if it is just a few words, brought from a distant hometown, and with some warm words, I never get tired of listening to them.
After eating, Gu Yuanfeng consciously cleaned up the table, he was the most skilled in this business. I think when I was in high school, I washed the dishes by myself after lunch, but now it's just one more person, and I still feel a little nostalgic for life at that time.
In the evening, Gu Yuanxiang abandoned his brother and went to her house with Wu Ziyan to rest, that is, upstairs. The two have not seen each other for so long, they will be a little excited, Gu Yuanxiang felt that he didn't find out what happened when his brother said that Wu Ziyan had something on his mind.
"Sister Ziyan, has she had anything on her mind lately?" Gu Yuanxiang decided to believe his brother and asked suddenly.
"You see that?!" Wu Ziyan asked with some surprise.
"Hmm!" Gu Yuanxiang replied like a stick, God knows that she didn't see anything, it was her brother who saw it! But it's better not to say this, so as to maintain this sense of mystery between sisters.
"I thought I was hiding it well, but I didn't expect you to see it. Xiangxiang, wait for me to wash it, go to bed and talk to you. Wu Ziyan saw that Gu Yuanxiang already knew, and she no longer pretended to have no worries.
"Okay." Gu Yuanxiang quickly went to the bathroom, this is a posture to have a long talk, Gu Yuanxiang wanted to say that you are actually hiding very well, and now I can see that you are preoccupied.
"Xiangxiang eats fruit, your brother just washed it and sent it up."
Gu Yuanxiang had just finished taking a shower and saw two bunches of purple grapes in the crystal glass basin on the table, and Gu Yuanxiang knew these two bunches of grapes. When Wu Ziyan hadn't come back yet, she saw Gu Yuanfeng wash it and put it in the refrigerator after putting it in this crystal glass basin, but she didn't expect to send it now, it was so cunning! He could have brought it with him when we came up, but after he put it in the refrigerator, he found out that he had the opportunity to come up and talk to Sister Ziyan again.
"This grape looks really good, it's big and it's so sweet. Sister Ziyan, don't you say it's very sweet. Gu Yuanxiang picked up a grape and ate it.
"Well, it's sweet." Wu Ziyan didn't think much about it, and followed Gu Yuanxiang's words.
"I think it's sweeter than what I've eaten before, and I've heard that the mind will have a blessing effect. When the chef is cooking, if he is in a good mood, the cooked meals will taste better than usual. When the animals are raised on the farm, the animals are more productive and the meat is delicious, and some people play music for the animals on the farm. Even play music for the crops that are grown. You say that this grape is so delicious, is it because the person who bought it bathed them with special care, so that it tasted so good? Gu Yuanxiang said with a smile, "Sister Ziyan, who did you say bought it, who is so attentive, it's so sweet, it's so sweet, it's so sweet, after eating this, I suddenly remembered that today's dinner tasted really delicious, it seemed to be slightly sweeter than usual, I thought it was too much sugar, maybe your heart is too sweet, and the meal you made has become sweeter!" β
"Eat your grapes, you can't stop your mouth from eating!" Wu Ziyan took out a grape and stuffed it into Gu Yuanxiang's mouth.
"It's delicious, it's really sweet, it's so sweet." Gu Yuanxiang smiled and ran away, she smiled even more happily when she saw Wu Ziyan's red little face.
"This pot is for you to eat, so that you can be so sweet." Wu Ziyan was more and more embarrassed by her laughter, pointed to the fruit pot on the table, and went directly into the bedroom after speaking, ignoring Gu Yuanxiang's "giggle" laughter.
"I won't laugh anymore, I won't laugh at all, I won't say anything about the next time you cook and put salt as sugar, no matter how sweet it is! Sister Ziyan, don't be angry, otherwise my brother will be so difficult, on one side is a dear sister and on the other side is a dear cough, who do you say he is helping......"
Before Gu Yuanxiang finished speaking, Wu Ziyan quickly jumped up from the bed, held a pillow in her hand, and threw herself towards Gu Yuanxiang, pressing her underneath.
"I'm strong, and I won't shrink anymore." Gu Yuanxiang's words were suppressed and couldn't be said clearly.
"Hmph, no matter how naughty you are, you'll serve on a pillow!" Wu Ziyan let go of the pillow and threatened.
"You are so naΓ―ve! Hahaha! As soon as Gu Yuanxiang was free, he threw a pillow at Wu Ziyan, and the pillow battle between the two of them was full of gunsmoke.
"Okay, we're out of war, we're exhausted." Gu Yuanxiang was lying on the bed panting, this exercise was really tiring.
"If you don't take the initiative to provoke, how can I fight with you, I am a just war of self-defense!" Wu Ziyan was also out of breath.
"Mmmm, I am an evil war of aggression, justice has defeated evil, you have beaten away the aggressor." Gu Yuanxiang continued.
"Sister Ziyan, you said that I told me about your worries after I went to bed for nothing, I have been lying in bed for a long time, you can say it, you won't lie to me to sleep for you." Gu Yuanxiang turned his head and said pitifully, as if she was really a woman from a good family who had been deceived.
"Lie down, warm the bed, and I'll tell you." Wu Ziyan glanced at Gu Yuanxiang, Gu Yuanxiang lay down on the bed quickly, waiting for Lin Xing's little appearance.
Wu Ziyan also lay down, turned sideways, her head was facing Gu Yuanxiang, and said softly: "Xiangxiang, my mother came to me." β
"Oh, your mother is coming...... Uh, your mother?! Gu Yuanxiang's eyes widened in surprise, Sister Ziyan has a mother, no, Sister Ziyan's mother came to her, this is too terrifying!
"I was surprised, I was surprised that I didn't even know she was my mother when I first met her. Later, when she came to recognize me, I didn't even know what expression to use to express my inner complexity, and I even thought she was joking. When I was twenty years old, the first time someone told me was that I was your mother. How ridiculous. Wu Ziyan thought that she really thought she was joking at the time, she knew since she was a child that she was a child without a mother. Everyone else is a treasure in the hands of their mothers, and they are the children abandoned by their mothers.
"Didn't your mother go to the United States?" Gu Yuanxiang thought of hearing that her mother had gone to the United States to pursue love, how did she meet her in Paris.
"Probably from the United States to France." Wu Ziyan didn't know that she didn't have tears in her eyes when she met her mother after the showdown, nor did she hug her head and cry. To her it was just sarcasm and ridiculous.
"Then what do you think, do you want to recognize her?" Gu Yuanxiang also felt that this matter was so magical, the world was so big, and he had encountered it after leaving for so long. How can she be sure that Sister Ziyan is her daughter, even if she is a blood relative, she has not been in touch for so long, and she is so old, she can even see if she is her own child!
"What did you do with her?!" Wu Ziyan asked rhetorically, "I don't need my mother to play an important role in my life anymore. When I was young, I was very envious of other children having mothers, and I imagined my mother's appearance countless times, but she only appeared in my dreams. Even in my dreams, her appearance was blurry, and I never remembered her when I woke up. I used a lot of ways to make a wish, and as long as I could have a mother, I was willing to pay any price. I really wanted my mother like crazy, longing for her to think of me, even if she came back to see me, I could justifiably say that I also have a mother, and my mother loves me. This was my birthday wish every year until I was 10 years old, but when the candle was blown out, my wish also dissipated. She abandoned me for her love, and I guess she never thought of me for so many years, and she didn't even remember that she had a child. Now that I'm older, I don't need my mom anymore, and she came to tell me that she was my mom and that she loved me, wasn't it ridiculous. β
Gu Yuanxiang silently listened to Wu Ziyan vent those emotions that I don't know how many years have been buried, these suppressed emotions hidden in the deepest part of my heart, after the absurdity of time, the deeper and deeper they are hidden, until I think I have forgotten them. The memory that was suddenly opened, excavated from the deepest part of the forgotten, after so many years of dark fermentation, with the smell of sour decay and countless emotions that once touched the nerves of the whole body, suddenly poured into the present life, bloody mocking the innocence of the past, devouring his heart.
