Chapter Twenty-Nine: Addiction
"That...... Are you okay. Seeing his face flushed, she subconsciously cared.
Gu Youan came back to his senses and hurriedly got up.
The feeling of oppression in front of him suddenly disappeared, and Duran breathed a sigh of relief. She stood up and lifted the sack with Gu Youan again.
When I got home, it was already noon, and the Gu family was eating around a low table.
While eating, Gu Xu stared at the sack, recognized the few patches she had sewn with her own hands, and stood up from the bench with a rub.
"What are you doing with my sack?" She was furious.
Gu Youan hurriedly went to explain, but Duran was not in a hurry, untied the hemp rope, and caught a fish.
"I gave it to my aunt as compensation."
Gu Xu's eyes were immediately attracted by the fish in Du Lan's hand, this is a fat carp, it looks like it is at least two catties, if you go to the market to buy it, it will cost three or five cents.
Gu Chunyan's face was happy, Gu Wu's eyes were also straight, and the two children all showed greedy expressions, and Gu Laifu was also smiling.
Before, the weather was cold and the price of fish was high, and Gu Xu's family was reluctant to buy it, but later the price of fish dropped, and their family still didn't eat fish.
Gu Zhiping stood up and said with a smile: "It's just a bag, why should the family see each other like this." ”
Duran couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, why didn't he stand up and say something fair when his woman was angry just now.
"Honoring your uncle is right." Gu Youan said politely at the right time.
Duran gave him a blank look, this guy is usually silent, and his mouth is quite sweet when it is critical.
Gu Xu hurriedly went to the kitchen to get a wooden basin, took the fish from Duran's hand, and said, "Naturally, it should be." ”
Du Lan pursed his lips disdainfully, it was quite clever to deal with Gu Xu's with this trick, but if it wasn't for the debt, Du Lan would not let her at all.
Old Man Gu came out of the house and said with concern: "I'm hungry, hurry up and eat." ”
"Grandpa, do you have a water tank at home? I've got to get the fish up first. "Don't be in a hurry to eat by yourself, don't dry the fish.
"Yes, yes, there's a stubble in the corner." Old Man Gu smiled and looked at the sack under Duran's feet.
After pouring the fish into the tank with Gu Youan and adding water, Duran and Gu Youan went to wash their hands.
When I entered the room, I opened the pot and saw that the pot had bottomed out, and there was still food.
This hateful Gu Xu really regretted that he gave her a fish just now, and if he knew this, he deserved to be angry with her.
Gu Youan's face was not much better, his aunt was indeed too selfish.
"Gu Youan, you go boil water, I'll cook." Du Lan puffed up and said angrily, since she has not yet divided the land, she is qualified to eat Gu Xu's grain, who let her plant Gu You'an's land in vain.
"Okay." He nodded, and quickly went to light a fire and boil water.
Duran scooped some wheat noodles, made the dough, and rolled them out on a cutting board, just as the water was boiling in the pot, she boiled the noodles in.
Seeing that there was still a handful of beans in the vegetable basket, I fried soybean paste on a small stove and served with beans to make fried noodles.
It's just a pity that there is no meat.
Gu Xu had been paying attention to the movements of the room outside, but because Gu Zhiping was at home and the fish given by Duran, he couldn't bear it.
After lunch, Duran and Gu Youan went back to the house to rest, and it was not until after noon that Duran came out to clean up the fish.
Looking at the fish jumping around in the tank, Duran's eyes lit up, so many fish, if they were all sold, it would be a lot of income.
After the break, she was full of energy, took a kitchen knife, a wooden basin, brought a small bench, and simply sat down by the water tank and began to kill fish.
It's just that as soon as she sat down, Gu Youan came over.
"What are you doing here?" She looked up at him, always feeling that he was tired enough today, and wanted him to rest for a while.
"I'll help you, otherwise you'll have to kill so many fish." He crouched down and said.
"Aren't you tired, then?"
He chuckled awkwardly, "It's bearable." ”
"Okay, then you move a bench and sit here, and help me scrape the scales."
Duran is also not welcome, after killing these dozens of fish, she has to hurry up to boil tomato sauce and fry sweet and sour fish, and it is estimated that it will be evening when she is done.
"Okay." He turned to move the stool.
Looking at Gu You'an's back, Duran smiled with satisfaction, this guy still knows how to take the initiative to help.
After killing the fish, Gu Youan went to light the fire, and Duran then boiled tomato sauce, and when he was about to make sweet and sour fish, the sky really darkened.
After scraping so many fish scales, Gu Youan's arms were tired and sore, but seeing that Duran was full of energy, he refused to succumb to others.
Duran took out a plate, put two sweet and sour fish, and handed them to Gu Youan, "You send it to Aunt Zhang, I don't remember her house, and I also returned the cloth bag." ”
"Okay." Although Gu Youan's arms were sore, his legs and feet didn't feel tired, and while it was not completely dark, he hurriedly sent it to Aunt Zhang.
When he came back, he had two more eggs in his hand, and without asking, Duran had already guessed that it was given by Aunt Zhang.
"Aunt Zhang is really a good person." She praised from the bottom of her heart.
"Aunt Zhang is kind, but unfortunately her life is not good." Gu Youan said regretfully.
"Huh?" Duran was surprised, "What's wrong?" ”
"Her man went early, so she took the eldest child by herself, and her life was strangely hard."
It turned out that Aunt Zhang was a widow, but she was always smiling, but she couldn't see that she was actually happy in suffering.
What is especially worthy of Duran's admiration is that she lives with dignity, even if her life is difficult, she is unwilling to accept the favor of others.
After taking two eggs from Gu Youan's hand, she secretly decided that if she had the ability in the future, she would definitely help her more.
"It's so late, we haven't had dinner yet, I'm going to make us gnocchi soup." Duran entered the room with a smile on his face.
Needless to say, Gu Youan raised his feet and went in to burn the fire, it seemed that a tacit understanding had been formed between them.
Soon, the room was filled with the fragrance of green onions, and Duran happily served three bowls of pimple soup and went to Old Man Gu's house with Gu Youan.
After dinner, Du Lan thought that Gu You'an was tired, so he took the initiative to wash the dishes and boiled a large pot of hot water.
When the hot water was brought to the house, Gu Youan had already fallen asleep with his clothes closed.
"Hey! Get up, wash up, wash and sleep. She walked over and tried to wake him up, her eyes falling involuntarily on his fair face.
After getting along for two days, she felt more and more that Gu Youan was eye-catching, and her sword eyebrows were as black as the fog of distant mountains, revealing a coldness for no reason.
The ink-like eyelashes hang low, like a folding fan unfolded and quietly resting.
When he fell asleep, he made her addicted unconsciously.
Gu You'an hadn't fallen asleep yet, when he felt the breath of the woman next to him, his narrow sleepy eyes opened suddenly.
