Chapter Seventy-Seven: Red Dates

"Sister, I'll take you to see the new desk that my brother-in-law bought for me." Brother Yan stretched out his soft little hand, and couldn't wait to show his desk to Gu Jiujiu.

Gu Jiujiu glanced at Shen Kuo, and then went to his room with Brother Yan.

After entering, Gu Jiujiu saw the new desk placed in front of Brother Yan'er's windowsill at a glance. I looked at it lightly, and saw that the desk was not only half larger than the one used by Brother Yan before, but also a special place for pens and inkstones on the desk.

Brother Yan saw that his sister was looking at the desk in his room, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Sister, isn't this desk very good." ”

"Hmm." Gu Jiujiu nodded, "It's really good." ”

After listening to Gu Jiujiu's words, Brother Yan smiled and sat down at the table to write.

Yan dried the herbs he picked in the village today in the courtyard, and looked at the house that had been repaired by the carpenter, and couldn't help but feel more and more satisfied with Shen Kuo's son-in-law.

After scooping clean water and washing his hands in a wooden basin, Yan was ready to go to the stove room to make lunch.

There were no vegetables in the stove, and the sweet potato porridge in the morning was finished. Thinking that Sister Yuan and Brother Yan both liked to eat the rice noodles made by Gu Jiujiu yesterday, Yan decided to make rice noodles for everyone at noon.

The pork bone soup used to cook rice noodles last night, Yan specially scooped it and put it in a clay pot. Now, all she needs to do is pour it into a pot and bring it to a boil over high heat to cook the rice noodles.

Gu Jiujiu walked into the stove room from Brother Yan'er's house, and saw that Yan's was cooking rice noodles, so she went to the yard and pinched a handful of shallots and chopped them aside for later use.

The fire under the stove was big enough, and the small half pot of pork bone soup was quickly boiled. Put the rice noodles in the pot, and after a few moments, you can eat them.

During the meal, Brother Yan and Sister Yuan saw that they were eating rice noodles again, and the two little guys were very happy, and there was not a single bowl of rice noodles left.

Sister Yuan thought about the chickens in the chicken cage, and after eating the rice noodles, the little guy went out to see them with his little short legs.

Gu Jiujiu originally planned to help Yan wash the dishes together, but Yan said that there were only a few bowls that didn't need her. Therefore, Gu Jiujiu walked out of the stove room.

As soon as he walked out, Gu Jiujiu saw a young woman dressed in coarse cloth walking in with a basket.

After searching the memories in his head, Gu Jiujiu knew that the person in front of him was Mei Niang, who was gentle and kind, and she was not bad. She lives in this village, and their family lives very close to the Gu family, so when they were young, they often played together. In the past, Mei Niang would sit at their house for a while almost every day, but later, when Mei Niang got married, they saw each other less.

"Xiao Jiu, I'm coming to see you, and I'll bring you some river shrimp by the way." When Mei Niang saw Gu Jiujiu, she immediately smiled and walked over.

"Sister Mei, are you here?" Before Gu Jiujiu could speak, Sister Yuan saw Mei Niang, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she screamed happily.

Hearing Sister Yuan call herself, Mei Niang touched a handful of red dates and gave it to her. The little guy took the red dates, and didn't forget to look at Mei Niang with a smile and said, "Thank you, Sister Mei." ”
