Chapter 31: A Familiar Taste
Miss Gu brought a lot of vegetables back? So, that's what grandma means?
Jiang Tong glanced at the documents on the desktop, and his eyes turned in a circle casually, landing on the small box on the coffee table.
He doesn't have any particular fruit he likes to eat, but he does hate it.
I hate eating cherries, not because of the fruit itself, but because of someone.
When the woman gave it to him in the afternoon, he didn't want it, but seeing that the heart of giving the gift was wasted, he looked like he was about to cry, so he took it.
After leaving, he wanted to throw it away, but he didn't.
But I didn't touch it again.
Jiang Tong looked at the small box in his hand, opened it gently, and the aroma of cherries wafted out.
The scent in memory.
Gu Liuhua's things are still good, this box of small red fruits grows very beautifully, like dazzling gems.
He reached out and pinched one, his fingertips tightening slightly.
After looking fixed for a long time, he threw the cherry into his mouth and slowly closed his eyes.
Unexpectedly, there was no sour taste, on the contrary, it was somewhat sweet.
Is it too long?
He had forgotten about it, and so had the sour taste.
Missed and forgotten?
Chewing full, swallowing the flesh, the tip of the tongue against the pit rolling back and forth in the mouth.
It's been too long, he can't remember whether to be angry or resentful, Cherry didn't taste the bitterness anymore, does it mean that in his heart, he has forgiven her?
***
The housekeeper looked at the two cherries and was in trouble.
"Old lady, what should I do with these two cherries?" The young master will definitely be sad to see the cherry.
Outsiders only think that the young master doesn't like cherries, but they don't know that this used to be his favorite fruit.
Just now......
"Stay, he can't live in the past forever, it's time to come out." Old Madam Jiang sighed helplessly.
Who can blame this matter?
At the beginning, they said that they would save people, and they did not hesitate, saying that they would definitely come back, but Jiang Tong cried and made a fuss about not letting them go, but they still left.
More than ten years have passed, and there has been no news.
Perhaps, they will never come back.
Old Madam Jiang knew that Jiang Tong had not given up looking for them all these years, and she felt a little uncomfortable thinking of this child.
"Are you coming back?"
"The young master just said that he would come back when he had time."
"Come on, let him be."
Everyone has their own fate, and they can't ask for it.
She has been forcing it for so many years, and it's time to let it go.
Old Madam Jiang was thinking about when to tell Gu Liuhua to cancel the marriage contract, so as to save the child from being bound and sullen.
In the final analysis, there is another convenient reason why she let Jiang Tong and Gu Liuhua get engaged, that is, the Jiang family owes Gu Liuhua's mother a favor, and the Gu family is like that, she thinks that Jiang Tong can shelter her.
Anyway, if you don't have fate, you can't be a husband and wife, you can still be a brother and sister.
***
At dinner, Gu Liuhua smelled a familiar smell, and he couldn't be happy.
After eating unpalatable vegetables for two days, she was hungry and thin, and she was finally able to eat the vegetables she had grown, and she was in a beautiful mood.
When Mrs. Jiang sat down, she also smelled the aroma of vegetables, and her eyes lit up.
There is no new chef in the Jiang family, it should be the food made by the previous chef, the taste is so fragrant, it should have something to do with the planting environment, "The vegetables grown in the countryside are delicious." ”
Mrs. Jiang asked Gu Liuhua about the situation in the countryside while eating, Mrs. Jiang was used to not talking when eating, but today she was a little excited, and she talked more.
I heard that Gu Liuhua lived in the villa and was still alone, so I was a little distressed.
"You live alone, then this vegetable ......"
Gu Liuhua swallowed a mouthful of bitter gourd, "I planted it, there is nothing to do in the countryside, I will study new varieties when I am bored, so I am more clever and have planted a lot of high-quality varieties." ”
Hearing her say this, Mrs. Jiang didn't say anything on her face, and she was a little angry in her heart.
Mrs. Gu did too much to be on the stage, she left an eldest lady who didn't know anything to the countryside, or lived alone, and she didn't know how much she suffered in the countryside, no wonder she changed so much when she came back.
Gu Liuhua didn't notice the change in Old Madam Jiang, "Oh, I raised chickens and ducks, free-range, and the meat is delicious." ”
Thinking of those poultry in the villa, Gu Liuhua was not in a good mood.
"Hua girl, why are you suddenly unhappy?" Old Madam Jiang looked at the person who was still smiling and suddenly became unhappy, and looked a little distressed, "Is it being bullied?" You tell grandma, and grandma helps you teach her. ”
Gu Liuhua shook his head, "Grandma Jiang, thank you, I'm fine." I just think of the chickens I raised, although there are a lot of things for them to eat in the mountains, I am afraid that after a long time, they will have nothing to eat and starve to death. ”
It's all meat, and I've been raising it for a long time.
It hurts to think about it.
Mrs. Jiang thought about it, too, after all, she has been raised for so long, she should be emotional, and it is normal to be worried.
"Otherwise, I'll have someone help you get all those chickens, and there's still a big open space at the back of the house.
The housekeeper looked at the old lady Jiang with a calm face, and the corners of his mouth twitched, how can there be any vacant space behind, the old lady should want to separate the garden from a piece of land.
Gu Liuhua thought about it, she actually wanted to turn things around, and she really didn't like to eat the things sold on the market.
However, if she wants to eat in the space, she must live alone, otherwise it will be difficult to hand over the origin of these things.
But in the Jiang family......
To be honest, she didn't think about getting engaged to Jiang Tong, and it was not good to move things over.
Gu Liuhua rejected Mrs. Jiang's kindness, "I'll bring some over for you to taste when I have time, just raise it, those poultry are very smelly, affecting the air, I'm afraid that Grandma Jiang will smell uncomfortable." ”
Mrs. Jiang couldn't see her resistance, "It's not uncomfortable, Hua girl, it's far away, the smell can't float, don't worry." ”
It seems that Mrs. Jiang has made up her mind, Gu Liuhua's eyes rolled around, "Forget it, it's okay for you, Jiang Tong doesn't like it either, I don't want to live in your house and make Jiang Tong unhappy." ”
Gu Liuhua spoke, didn't notice that Jiang Tong was back, and as soon as he stepped through the door, he heard someone say about himself.
Mrs. Jiang smiled, "Xiao'er is back, go wash your hands, the vegetables tonight were all planted by Hua Yatou herself, you are blessed." ”
Gu Liuhua saw Old Madam Jiang talking to the door, and the whole person suddenly felt bad.
What is this called, saying that Cao Cao Cao arrived, Jiang Tong couldn't say.
But he heard it better, although he spoke more ugly, but he spoke, Mrs. Jiang should have given up.
When Jiang Tong walked by, he smelled the fragrance of vegetables, and the gluttonous worms in his stomach were hooked.
He went upstairs and took a quick shower before coming down.
