Chapter Seventy-Five: Maltose
After reading it, he was a little disdainful, this little baby just relied on her good looks and got so many favors from the family. He also heard rumors in the private school that Gu Chengyu was very talented in reading, and he didn't know if it was true or not, but the temperament that he often mixed with the children of the gentleman was something he didn't like.
It's just that You Siyuan still needs Gu Chengyu to help introduce him. So, patiently, he piled up a smile on his face, approached Gu Chengyu and said, "Uncle! I think You Siyuan is a little close to you, why don't you invite him to play at home? ”
"Brother Hua! You also know that my family is building a house, and I am afraid that I will not be able to empty it that day, so let's talk about this later! Gu Chengyu saw that Gu Wanhua said his purpose in just a few words, and there was no lack of contempt for Wang Qikai and praise for You Siyuan in his words.
Gu Chengyu was a little unhappy, he was in a good mood, and he didn't mind accompanying him in circles. But at this time, I am too lazy to be false and wrong, and I don't talk more than half a sentence.
Gu Wanhua touched a soft nail, his face stiffened, and then said with a smile: "Uncle's house is in chaos, and my family doesn't build a house, you can invite me to my house!" ”
"Senior Brother You is my classmate after all, I invited him to come to my house to play, since I want to come to my house, he and you should not be very familiar with each other, isn't it my rudeness to go to your house to get it? Besides, the son-in-law of a large family must also get permission from the family to go out, and the preparation for the trip is troublesome! The elders didn't have a good time! ”
Before the young son of a rich family was a minor, he went to someone else's house as a guest, and he had to ask his elders, maybe You Siyuan's parents didn't want him to make friends with a peasant kid like him!
After Gu Chengyu finished speaking, he closed his eyes and recuperated. When Gu Wanhua looked at Gu Chengyu's appearance, it was clear that he didn't want to talk to him anymore, his face sank, he held his sleeve with his hand, and snorted softly.
I don't look at the baby who is only a few years old, and he still puts the score of the elders in front of him, I really don't know what to say.
It didn't take long for the ox cart to arrive at the door of Mi Xing, and Gu Chengyu opened his eyes and listened to Gu Lao Dad shouting at Mi Xing: "Chengzhong!" Have you paid it back? But can you go home? Because the counter of the rice store is not far from the door, and Gu Chengzhong is the bookkeeper of the rice store, he is usually resident at the counter and will not move, so Father Gu did not get out of the ox cart, but only shouted at the door.
"Yikes! Third Uncle Gu is here to find Mr. Gu? He went to the inner room to pack his things, and said that Third Uncle Gu was here, just wait for him at the door for a while, and he would be fine immediately! ”
Gu Chengyu opened the curtain and looked at Mi Xing, and saw a guy walking out of Mi Xing, and said enthusiastically to Daddy Gu.
"It turned out to be Brother Li, and I would like you to let me know. Then I'll wait, I think it'll be right away. Father Gu said a polite word to the guy named Brother Li with a smile on his face, and then drove the ox cart to the side of the rice shop, you can't block the door of others and affect others to do business, right?
Gu Wanhua in the carriage tilted his mouth to the side, feeling that Daddy Gu was still so stubborn to a guy, so he was a little disdainful. His father is the bookkeeper, and among the guys in the store on weekdays, which one of them is not polite when he sees him? The third uncle is really embarrassed by his father's face.
Gu Chengyu only looked outside, but didn't pay attention to Gu Wanhua's movements.
"What did Uncle Gu say? You're not an outsider, so why be so polite? You also patronized our rice shop today, besides, you are the third uncle of our Mr. Gu, aren't they all your own people? ”
Brother Li watched Daddy Gu drive the oxcart aside without blocking the gate, and his impression of Daddy Gu was even better.
Gu Chengyu looked at Little Brother Li and Daddy Gu and politely came and went, and then lowered the curtain, it seems that he will have to wait here for a while.
After waiting for a while, Gu Chengzhong was late. The curtain on the car flickered, and Gu Chengyu only felt that his eyes lit up, and he saw a tall figure crawling in from the wheel.
"Daddy! Why is it so slow today? As soon as Gu Wanhua saw his father come in, he complained.
"There are still accounts to be settled today, so there is a delay." Gu Chengzhong's complaint to his son was also good-natured.
"Brother Lobby!" Gu Chengyu also hurriedly handed over.
There are a lot of children in the Gu family, if it is called ranking, it is estimated that Gu Chengyu will be in the twenties, so they all shout their own on weekdays.
Waiting for Gu Chengzhong to sit down, Gu Chengyu looked at the tall and burly man in front of him. The men of the Gu family are not short, and Gu Chengzhong and Gu Chengxiao are also somewhat similar in appearance, both of them are square looks, giving people a sense of integrity. It's just that Gu Chengzhong doesn't do coolies, and he looks younger than Gu Chengxiao, and his skin is much whiter.
Gu Chengzhong put the burden on the stool next to him, and then raised his eyes to look at the little cousin sitting opposite.
Although Gu Chengzhong has a rest on weekdays, it is difficult for Gu Chengyu to go out, so the two of them don't see each other often. In his impression, Gu Chengyu is a good-looking and sweet-mouthed baby. Looking at it again now, it may be because of reading, the little baby has picturesque eyebrows, but there is some bookishness around him, and he is looking at him with a smile at the moment.
Gu Chengzhong saw that the little baby was pleasing, and suddenly remembered that he still had maltose for Gu Yan on his body. After thinking for a moment, he took out a small oiled paper bag from his arms. Spread out the oil paper bag, took out two pieces of maltose from it, and handed them to Gu Chengyu, who was sitting opposite and observing him.
Gu Chengyu saw that Gu Chengzhong took out something from the oiled paper bag and handed it to himself, and was still a little puzzled. When I looked closely, I found that it was maltose. The sugar of the Dayan Dynasty is expensive, such a small sugar cube costs a piece, and the average farmer is reluctant to buy it to eat, the sugar cube is fast, put it in the mouth, and it is gone before it tastes good. Of course, according to Gu Wan's description, he doesn't like to eat such sweets.
What's more, the maltose here is very coarse, and if you hold it in your hand for a little longer and melt away, it will be even more miserable. However, such a candy cube, the little baby likes to eat it.
"Little treasure! Eat! This is a few pieces for Yan'er, and there are not many, you are holding Tiantianzui. Gu Chengzhong touched Gu Chengyu's head with his other hand, and shook the maltose in his hand in front of Gu Chengyu.
"Brother Lobby, let's give this to Yan'er! I'm an adult and don't like this. Gu Chengyu looked at the sugar cube that was already a little about to melt, and pulled the corners of his mouth, he really didn't want to eat this thing.
"Haha! Take it! Yan'er is bigger than you! I still like to eat this, you're still young! Gu Chengzhong was amused by Gu Chengyu, he also thought that Gu Chengyu was sensible in his studies, and he claimed to be an elder, and it was not good for the younger generation to grab food.
Gu Chengyu had a bitter face, so he had to take a piece from Gu Chengzhong's hand and stuff it into his mouth.
What surprised him was that the maltose was not very sweet, it may not be like the previous life, which was so sweet in the previous life, and it may have been added with sugar or honey in it. The maltose here only has the taste of malt and glutinous rice, and has the mellow flavor of grain.
Seeing Gu Chengyu's slightly frowning brows stretched, Gu Chengzhong nodded with satisfaction, sure enough, little babies like to eat sugar, right?
