Chapter 53: Gu Jingcheng is useless
Zhou Lin checked out and left after eating, and Gu Jingcheng sat in place and waited for them to close the store.
He didn't eat or order new ones, but he kept occupying that seat, and the guests who came in and out couldn't help but look at him.
Some of the students in the academy recognized him, and some had a good relationship and wanted to come forward to say hello, but after seeing Gu Jingcheng's ugly face, they also lost their minds.
There's no way, how can a hot face stick a cold ass, let alone a cold ass that looks like this, it's cold to death.
Evening.
Gu Ruotong brought a bowl of broth to Gu Jingcheng under Su Xiaomu's instructions, and the Yin family also came out of the kitchen at this time to help clean up the things in the shop.
"The third uncle hasn't returned to the academy so late, is there something you want us to take back to my mother?"
The Yin family has been doing business outside for a long time, and she is not as afraid of Gu Jingcheng as before, she mustered up the courage to talk to him, and she is no longer as cautious as before.
"If there's anything you want us to bring back......"
"This time I want to go back with you, and there are some things that I have to tell my mother face to face to make it clear."
Gu Jingcheng treated the Yin family with a consistent indifferent look, but he still had some respect.
Although the few were pitiful, the Yin family couldn't hear it.
But as soon as she heard that Gu Jingcheng was going home with them, she was immediately overjoyed.
"Okay, it's already good that the third uncle wants to go back with us, I'll go cut two catties of meat later, and we have to eat something good tonight."
Yin Shi excitedly hurriedly wiped the water stains on his hands on the apron.
She happily went out to get the pig's head meat, and by the way, bought some of Gu Jingcheng's favorite food to take home.
On the way back, because there was one more Gu Jingcheng, Su Xiaomu and the others no longer walked with a cart like before, they were riding an ox cart, and the Yin family also pushed Su Xiaomu to sit next to Gu Jingcheng.
"Look at how good you two are, Xiaomu, my mother is right, you and the third uncle just want to cultivate more relationships, you two women are good-looking and handsome, how can you ...... if you don't have more children"
"Sister-in-law, I'm a little tired, and Xianggong also said that he hurt a lot of spirits by studying in the academy today."
It was already very embarrassing for Su Xiaomu and Gu Jingcheng to sit next to each other like this.
She really didn't want to hear Yin say that the two of them were a good match, and she had to give him a few more children.
She hadn't looked at Jingcheng since she got on the ox cart today, and he didn't speak.
Yin's gaze wandered between the two of them, and after looking at them for a long time, he was sure that they really didn't have any thoughts on chattering, and then he quieted down.
Along the way, only the clatter of cow hooves on the dirt could be heard.
Gu Jingcheng's eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at the way back to the village.
I don't know why, he always has the feeling that Su Xiaomu is using him as a shield.
He suddenly began to wonder if what she said was really as true as she said for her own good and for the good of her family?
When they returned home, Old Man Gu and the others had only arrived home not long ago.
Li sat in the courtyard taking care of a few children, and as soon as she saw Gu Jingcheng coming back, she immediately stepped forward with an excited face, pulling Gu Jingcheng to look left and right.
She was overjoyed, and her voice trembled: "Isn't it time to rest yet?" Why did you come back so suddenly? The master of the academy didn't say anything about you, did he? ”
"Nope." Gu Jingcheng shook his head slightly, "I forgot to bring something, so I asked for leave to come back to pick it up, and I have to go back early tomorrow morning." ”
He was temporarily determined to go home, and the leave of the academy was all troublesome for Zhou Lin to sue.
However, he has always had a good relationship with his masters, and it is not so difficult to approve this fake.
"Okay, although I came back to get something, I might make my mother happy to see your mother more.
It just so happened that your second sister-in-law was still busy in the kitchen, so my mother went to tell her that you were back, and asked her to cook a few more hot dishes, and we would have a good time together as a family. ”
Li Shi looked at Gu Jingcheng, his eyes full of distress.
Su Xiaomu followed behind him and saw their mother and son like this, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart.
Tsk, how proud did she think he was?
On the one hand, I don't want to see them making money, and on the other hand, I don't want to eat the meat they bought with money.
During the meal, Su Xiaomu didn't speak the whole time.
She honestly grilled rice, and the Chen family added two meat dishes to them because of Gu Jingcheng's sudden return.
Stir-fried pork belly with chili peppers, scrambled eggs with wild vegetables, Su Xiaomu tasted so unhappy.
She's tired from the day, and now this meal is what she deserves!
"The next time you forget something at home, just tell your daughter-in-law and ask her to help you take it to the academy.
Li Shi was distressed and sandwiched a large piece of meat for Gu Jingcheng, and she looked at Chen with some pity.
"If I had known that Jingcheng was back, I should have killed a chicken and stewed soup to make up for him, you can see from the second family, is Jingcheng much thinner than the last time he came back."
"Yes, it must be because the third uncle is studying too hard these days, it's better to do this, I will kill the chicken tonight, and stew the soup early tomorrow, and let the third uncle take it to the academy to drink."
Chen knew that the Li family loved Gu Jingcheng, so he followed her words.
It is impossible for Gu Jingcheng to take a whole chicken to the academy, maybe they can take this opportunity to share a piece of chicken to eat, no matter how bad it is, it is okay to drink some chicken soup and try it.
"Mother is right, the third child is very hard to study, the last time I met Lao Deng in the next village with my father in the field.
He said that his nephew was also in the academy, and he didn't rest much from morning to night. ”
Gu Hai shaved rice and squeezed into the topic: "I also discussed with my father yesterday to give Jingcheng more money, so that he can eat whenever he wants in the city, and don't wronged himself in order to save money." ”
Gu family, everything you say and I say is for Gu Jingcheng's study, Su Xiaomu listened to it next to him, and he was embarrassed.
She and her sister-in-law went out early and returned late to earn money for the family, and they didn't hear them say that they would kill a chicken to make up for them.
Gu Jingcheng shouted about his self-sufficiency all day long, and he didn't eat without saying a word at this time.
Why didn't he say that the Gu family should save the money for their own use?
Silently rolled her eyes in her heart, she turned her grief and anger into appetite, and swelled two large bowls of rice in one breath.
After eating, she took Gu Ruotong to settle the accounts, and they gossiped about the Gu family, so she didn't participate.
After Gu Jingcheng finished eating, he went to her room with Li to talk.
When he was eating, he noticed that Su Xiaomu was not in the right state, especially when he occasionally raised his head to look at her, and found that there was some banter and some sarcasm in her eyes when she looked at him.
He wasn't stupid, and of course he read the meaning in her eyes.
I also knew what she wanted to help her get something.
So as soon as he entered the house, he closed the door and said to the Li family: "Mother, my son wants the Su family's deed of sale." ”
