"Okay, then we'll take a day off." Duran smiled nonchalantly.

Xu Cui'e was ready to go against Duran, but she didn't expect Duran to agree so easily, but it made her unable to attack.

It was hot in the afternoon, Du Lan simply went back to the house to take a nap, there was no need to catch fish, and Gu Youan had nothing to do.

Picking up the book and sitting on the wooden chair and watching, Duran's even breathing sound sounded clearly in his ears, and he involuntarily turned his head to look.

I saw her sleeping like a lazy cat, and the corners of her lips overflowed with a happy smile.

There is an extra Duran in the family, but it has changed his boring life for nearly 20 years, made him full of longing and anticipation for the future, and made him want to get better soon, carry this family, and let his family live a life of peace of mind.

An hour later, Du Lan woke up, Gu Youan was like a sculpture, sitting cross-legged, motionless, with the book of qi training beside him.

She was stunned for a moment, Gu You'an is ......

Sensing her gaze, Gu Youan retracted slightly, opened his eyes, and stood up slowly, "Are you awake?" ”

"Well, what are you doing?" Duran asked, puzzled.

"I just read the book, and suddenly I understood some truths, so I tried to practice."

"Oh." Duran unconsciously glanced at the book, wondering in his heart, is there any martial arts secrets in this book?

If she practiced it herself, it would definitely be easier for her to learn it with her skills.

Following her gaze and lowering his head, Gu Youan hooked his lips and chuckled: "Do you want to learn?" After I understand all the words here, I'll teach you how to do it? ”

As soon as he heard this, Duran immediately jumped out of bed happily, "Okay, I'm willing to learn, you can teach me now." ”

Looking at her eagerness, Gu Youan shook his head secretly, this book is not so easy to learn.

But he didn't want to discourage her enthusiasm, so he said, "Then you can practice meditation first." ”

"Meditate?" Speaking of which, Duran is so bored.

Gu Youan chuckled, "What's wrong?" I just said I wanted to learn, but I quit so quickly? ”

"No, I just think that after practicing for so many years, you still look weak, so I suspect that it is useless to practice. Besides, I don't have the heart to learn this now, I want to solve the problem of food and clothing first. ”

After she made a lot of fuss a few times, Xu Cui'e didn't obviously abuse their house, but she only replaced the rough dough cake with a nest head.

She also wants to eat fragrant white buns.

Listening to her words, Gu Youan showed a look of shame on his face, "When we take back the land, we will definitely be able to eat better next year." ”

"Why wait for next year, we can buy it now." Duran patted his waist bag proudly, and there was still some broken silver there.

Not to mention buying a bag of white noodles, even pork can afford to sell.

Gu Youan is used to being thrifty, even if he has money in his pocket, he has never thought of spending it, but now that Du Lan mentioned it, he suddenly reacted.

"And what do you want to eat?"

"I want steamed buns, spicy chicken, sweet and sour pork ribs, and steamed ......," Duran Balabala said.

"You're making money just to eat?" He furrowed his brows deeply, and according to her way of eating, the dozens of taels of silver in her pocket were quickly eaten.

"It's just talking, I'm still a more pragmatic person, for now, let's solve the problem of food and clothing first, and then talk about enjoyment when there are conditions in the future. I'm going to buy some steamed buns with wheat noodles, and I can't just eat rough bread and wotou. ”

"We can buy wheat noodles from my aunt." Gu Youan proposed.

"No!" Duran refused, "If you have money, you can't spend it, why do you have to buy her." ”

"That'...... Who's going to buy it? Gu Youan was puzzled.

"Aunt Zhang is very good, we might as well buy her." Du Lan had long thought about helping Aunt Zhang if he had the chance.

Gu You'an thought for a moment and nodded, Aunt Zhang is an upright person, and she will definitely not ask for a false price.

The two came to Aunt Zhang's house together, and Du Lan shouted into the courtyard: "Aunt Zhang, are you at home?" ”

Aunt Zhang walked out of the house, and when she saw that it was Du Lan and Gu You'an, she immediately greeted her with a smile: "You didn't catch the fish?" Is there anything wrong with finding the eldest lady? ”

"Aunt Zhang, I want to buy some wheat noodles and steamed buns with you." Duran laughed.

Gu Youan looked a little ashamed on the side, this is not to tell outsiders that the aunt does not give wheat noodles, fortunately, Aunt Zhang never drills the crowd and bites the root of her tongue. If he bought someone else, he would not have agreed to Duran.

"Buy wheat noodles?" Aunt Zhang looked at Du Lan in astonishment, and then saw Gu Youan's cramped expression, and immediately understood.

"The wheat noodles are all old Chen noodles from last year, if you don't dislike the eldest lady, I'll get it for you."

"No, no!" Duran smiled and waved his hand, being able to eat wheat noodles, Duran was already very satisfied.

Aunt Zhang asked what she meant, so she invited Duran and Gu Youan into the house, and her two sons went to work in the fields, and she was the only one in the family.

Du Lan entered the house and took a look, the house was clean and tidy, and there was no evil smell, and his good impression of Aunt Zhang was one step deeper.

Aunt Zhang carried over a bag of wheat noodles, about fifty catties, and Du Lan hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Aunt Zhang let Du Lan help her, unloaded the cloth bag on her shoulder, and said to Du Lan with a smile: "The new wheat will come down soon, and the old noodles at home can't be eaten, how much do you want, just say." ”

Duran smiled and nodded, thinking in his heart, what about the two sons of the eldest mother's family, if you want to say that you can't finish eating, it is completely coaxing yourself.

She said gratefully: "Auntie, I want half of it, we can't eat more." ”

"Okay, I'll pour it out for you." As he spoke, he gave his bag of wheat noodles to Duran.

"Aunt Zhang, I have something else to tell you." Duran looked into the chicken coop while holding the mouth of the cloth bag.

"Tell me what's going on." Aunt Zhang closed the cloth bag and said happily.

Duran smiled embarrassedly: "It's the eldest mother who gave me eggs last time, and I think about feeding two chickens that lay eggs in the future." ”

Saying this, Aunt Zhang glanced at Gu Youan meaningfully, "You want to make up for You'an, right?" Auntie, there are a few hens that lay eggs, but it's just ......"

Aunt Zhang chuckled twice, "My two sons can't do without eggs every day, and this is the busy season of farming, otherwise when the eggs hatch out of the chicks, the aunt will give you a few chicks, and you can raise them yourself." Do you think it's okay? ”

"Well, well, that's fine, thank you, auntie."

Gu Youan was looked at by Aunt Zhang strangely, his face was slightly red, and he couldn't wait to leave quickly.

Duran still wants to raise chickens and wait to eat eggs, Xu Cui'e, the guy who picks the door, never gives them eggs in this house, she has money in her hands, and she also wants to raise a nest of hens, and she scrambles eggs every day, envying them to death.

"Duran, let's go." Gu Youan lifted the cloth bag and urged.

"What's the hurry. I haven't asked Aunt Zhang when the chicks will hatch. ”

Aunt Zhang said with a smile: "When the chicks hatch out, I will tell you, and then I will teach you how to feed them." ”

"Hey, that aunt, can you buy this rooster?"

"Oh, yes."

Duran immediately smiled, "Then I'll buy a rooster first, I haven't eaten meat for a long time." ”

Looking at her greedy face, Gu Youan couldn't help but glance at her.

She simply ignored it.

Aunt Zhang opened the small door of the chicken coop, reached out and grabbed a large rooster, and handed it to Duran.

The rooster flapped its wings and clucked, Duran found the rooster's claws, put it in his hand, and asked Gu Youan to take out the silver.

Aunt Zhang glanced at it and hurriedly shook her hand: "This aunt can't be found." ”

"Don't look for it, my aunt always helps us, we are grateful, you must have this money, otherwise I won't be able to go." Duran feigned annoyance.

Gu Youan also looked sincere: "Auntie, just accept it." ”

Aunt Zhang said that she didn't want anything, Gu Youan forced the silver to be stuffed over, and the two stalemate for a few moments, and Aunt Zhang accepted it silently.

After saying goodbye to Aunt Zhang, Duran and Gu Youan went home.

When he got home, Xue Yan appeared at home again, drinking cold and white water in his grandfather's house, and his grandfather was having a kind smile on his face.

Gu You'an saw Xue Yan come uninvited like this, as if he had come to his own home, his face became more and more ugly.

He said with a cold face: "Xue Gongzi's fish was eaten so quickly? ”

"Hehe, Gu Gongzi is not in a good mood, isn't his liver fire even stronger?" Xue Yan saw that he looked indifferent, and quipped to himself.

Gu Youan suddenly remembered that people had cut his pulse, and he had to greet him with a smile for this kindness.

"No, I'm just curious about how Xue Gongzi is free." He was actually more curious about why Xue Yan came so often, it couldn't be just to eat fish.

Xue Yan listened, and said with a smile: "I'm an idler, I have nothing to do, and I suddenly remembered to check your pulse, so I won't send you some herbs." ”

"Huh?" Gu Youan looked at him in astonishment, it turned out that the people had a good intention and specially sent him medicine.

Old Man Gu smiled and said, "You'an, Xue Gongzi is really a good person, he has come all the way to send you medicine, you have to thank others." ”

Xue Yan glanced at Old Man Gu gratefully, and Old Man Gu gave him a knowing look.

Gu Youan didn't notice these subtle interactions, he just thought that his grandfather was grateful to Xue Yan for his healing grace.

Duran tied up the rooster and saw Xue Yan only after entering the house.

She was slightly surprised, didn't this Xue Gongzi just leave in the morning? Why is the afternoon here again? It's weird.

Old Man Gu told Du Lan that Xue Gongzi had come to deliver herbs.

Xue Yan and Gu Youan didn't know each other, but they were willing to lend a hand and help Gu Youan treat his illness, which made Duran secretly admire this kind of chivalrous heart.

She said enthusiastically: "Xue Gongzi hangs the pot to help the world, Bodhisattva's heart, I thank you for You'an, stay and eat tonight." ”

Xue Yan listened and looked at Du Lan with a smile, "My brother and sister are so hospitable, then Xue will be gracious." ”

"You're welcome, we're all friends." Duran said disapprerovingly.

After the politeness, Duran asked Gu Youan to kill the chicken and pluck the feathers, and Gu Youan twisted his brows unhappily.

Duran said coldly: "Go, or let's change, you go and steam the buns." ”

"I ...... Let's kill the chicken and pluck the feathers. "Although reluctantly, compared to steaming steamed buns, killing chickens is what men should do.

Duran went down to the kitchen, soaked in water with Xu Cui'e's yeast noodles that were about to dried, softened the wheat noodles, and put them to ferment under the sun.

At this time, Gu Youan almost killed the rooster, she asked him to wash it and take it over, and made a spicy chicken.

By the time dinner was cooked, it was already dark.

Duran brought the food into Grandpa Gu's house, put it on the table, and invited Xue Yan to taste it.

Xue Yan saw that the chicken nuggets were sprinkled with chili flakes, and immediately frowned, "It looks very spicy." ”

"It's spicy to be enjoyable." Duran laughed.

Xue Yan took a bite, and it was really spicy and refreshing, but he couldn't get used to it, so he poured a few mouthfuls of cold white water to suppress this spicy energy.

Amused by his spicy tongue-sticking out, Durán laughed unbridledly.

Outside the house, Xu Cui'e heard Du Lan's hearty laughter, and sneaked to the corner of Old Man Gu's window to listen to the wall, wondering in her heart, who is there in their house to make them so happy?
