"Ate it, ate it in the town store. The dishes that Aunt Chun fried were still the ones that Uncle Tao drove me to the door of the community. Gu Nuannuan responded.

The Aunt Chun and Uncle Tao she said were the veterans who guarded the door of her uncle Zhang Weiqiang's unit back then, the son and daughter-in-law of Uncle Tao. Seeing that they have good character, in line with the principle of being virtuous and not avoiding relatives, in the end, Zhang Weiqiang let them manage their own steamed bun direct store in the town, and the other in charge of the town's team. Now Uncle Tao doesn't look at the gate anymore, and his son, Uncle Tao, who is in Gu Nuannuan's mouth, directly bought land in the town, built a house, and settled his home in the town. Uncle Tao lived with his son, daughter-in-law, grandson, and granddaughter-in-law, and now even his great-grandson can walk and run.

Every time Gu Nuannuan came back from the medicine garden, when she passed by the town, if it was night, then she would walk directly back to the city. And if it was daytime, in order to avoid walking too fast in crowded places, she would usually go directly to her own steamed bun shop in the town to eat something, and then Uncle Tao would drive her back.

In fact, Gu Nuannuan still prefers to come back at night, because it is no exaggeration to say that she walks faster than she drives.

"Why don't you ask Uncle Tao to come in and sit down?" Wen Xiu said while pulling Gu Nuannuan into the house, "A few days ago, your uncle got some good tea and was still thinking about bringing some of it to Grandpa Tao, look at me, I forgot to explain more when I handed you the news, otherwise how good would it be to let him come in directly at this time and bring some fresh fruit back to your Grandpa Tao by the way?" ”

"On the way just now, Uncle Tao said that he was still in a hurry to see his uncle. You just need to call your uncle now and ask him to tell Uncle Tao to come home again before going back? ”

"Yes. Then I'll have to make a phone call first. Wen Xiu nodded, and when she entered the house, she really remembered to call Zhang Weiqiang first, and after the call, she turned around and continued to talk to Gu Nuannuan, "Why did you come back two or three days late when you received the news this time?" I thought you'd be back soon, just like you used to? ”

"That's right. But this time, I'm going to go around when I'm back and I'm done attending Cousin Di's wedding. I probably won't go to the medicine garden for a long time, so I stayed a little longer, and refined some more herb rejuvenation ointment for preparation. It's already the end of the month, and it's not far from the date of Zhang Laidi's marriage, and it's only half a month, just taking advantage of this time that she also wants to get along with her family more. In the past few years, she has been busy, and she doesn't realize that the time she spends with her family is much shorter, and if she doesn't stay at home for a few more days, she is afraid that her four-year-old brother Song Heng will forget what she looks like.

"I see." Wen Xiu nodded, "Have you figured out where to go?" ”

"I've been in the mountains and old forests for a long time, and I want to go to a crowded place. It is estimated that I will go to Juzhou first to take a look, there are many jade there. I usually have too many places to use jade, so I just went to see if I could buy more cheap jade and come back. ”

Gu Nuannuan had already thought about her first destination on the way back, and the purpose of going to Juzhou was of course not only what she told her grandmother, but also an important reason why she wanted to go to Juzhou was because Juzhou was a border, and it was next to Nan'anguo. In fact, Nan'an is the place where jade is really abundant, and there are all kinds of jade and gem mines all over it, and many people know that many of the rough stones in Juzhou come from Nan'an in private.

Why privately? This is not because the alliance has not yet established diplomatic relations with South Angli.

Not only have diplomatic relations not yet been established, but the two countries are still in a period of hostility, and in the near future there will even be a war between the two countries. So normal business dealings are not possible.

However, between the alliance and Nan'an, people-to-people trade has been very frequent since ancient times. Whether it is for the alliance or for a considerable part of the people in Nan'an, the trading relationship between them can even go back several generations, and everyone is relying on this to support their families, so naturally they can't easily break it off. Therefore, even though the two countries are at odds with each other, there is no way to communicate with each other on the surface, but snakes have snake paths, rats have rat roads, and private business exchanges between the people have never really been interrupted. Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that the officials of both countries turn a blind eye.

Gu Nuannuan's destination is actually not Juzhou, but Nan'anguo.

But she couldn't just tell her family that she was going. First, it is impossible for her to go directly through normal channels in the current situation between the two countries; Second, even if she can go directly through normal channels, but think of such a perennial domestic civil strife, with the fierce customs of the people, even children may carry a gun, and everyone can meet directly if they don't agree with each other, the family knows that she has some skills, and they don't dare to let her go easily.

So from the beginning, Gu Nuannuan never planned to enter Nan'an normally, and only conservatively said to his family that he would go to Juzhou.

"Juzhou? That place is very chaotic, can't you change it? Wen Xiu frowned worriedly when she heard where Gu Nuannuan wanted to go, "Our family also buys jade from Juzhou, you need that one to tell your uncle directly, why do you have to run by yourself?" ”

"Grandma, haven't you heard that the real eyesight on the rivers and lakes is that people who dare not provoke children and women who go out and walk alone." Gu Nuannuan joked.

"And this kind of thing? How can it be? Wen Xiu looked at Nuan Nuan in disbelief.

Gu Nuannuan smiled and proudly: "Grandma, you don't understand, right?" Because women and children who dare to walk alone in the rivers and lakes are often the kind of people who dare not provoke casually. ”

"You're praising yourself in a different way, aren't you?" Wen Xiu laughed.

"Huh." Gu Nuannuan smiled even happier, afraid that her grandmother would continue to dwell on this issue, so she changed the topic, and asked with some curiosity: "When I came back last time, it wasn't long before now, why didn't I hear that Cousin Lai Di had a boyfriend or a blind date at that time, and she even booked the wedding date so soon?" ”

"That's a coincidence. At that time, it was your cousin-in-law who came to the house with the elders and accidentally saw you coming to your cousin, and he liked her at a glance. We have also seen that the child is a good person, and she is willing to ask your cousin, so the two of them met a few times and decided the marriage. Speaking of her granddaughter's marriage, Wen Xiu couldn't help but smile, obviously very satisfied with the man's side.

"Oh, which family is this cousin-in-law from? Do I know each other? "Who can follow the elders to their own homes, who should be closer to their own families? Gu Nuannuan thought about it for a long time, and couldn't remember who in the family that often came and went had an unmarried boy who was about the same age as Cousin Laidi.
