"Why are you here, Grandpa Shao?"

Gu Lan had only seen Aji a few times, and Old Man Shao was all near Aji, so he didn't worry about going out alone.

Aggie pursed her lips and said nothing.

Gu Lan thought that he didn't like to talk by nature, she felt that there was nothing wrong with Aji's IQ, I heard that he was literate, could read by himself, and could play the piano, which fool was so versatile?

Aji is seventeen years old this year, and at this time in ancient times, they were all adult men, and some of them had children.

But there is a kind of childishness in Aji.

It looks clean and protective.

Gu Lan guessed that he might really have some problems, autism?

She didn't particularly understand this, and she could only guess like that.

"Is Grandpa Shao on the mountain or at home?"

Gu Lan asked in a different way.

This time, Aggie was quick to answer.

"On the mountain."

"Did you come with him, or did you run out on your own?"

"Myself."

"Aji is so good, will Grandpa Shao let you go out alone?"

Aji glanced at her sideways inexplicably, this woman, is she coaxing him to play with him as a childish ghost?

But he just pursed his lips, his long, curled eyelashes covering his changing eyes, and after a while, he whispered, "Yes." ”

He is good-looking and well-behaved, and his voice sounds very good, a bit like a combination of organ and saxophone, Gu Lan only feels itchy ears when he listens to it.

Knowing that Aji and Old Man Shao must have some secrets hidden in them, she had better not get close, but she still couldn't help but be curious.

Maybe it's human nature to snoop on other people's secrets.

Gu Lan was worried that Aji would run to a dangerous place, so she told her seriously: "Then if you are bored in the future, come to my house to find Zhu'er to play, so that Grandpa Shao will not worry about you, how about it?" ”

"Do you remember Pearl? Last time you hugged her, she was cute, right? ”

"My house is quite close to your house, but my house is not as beautiful as your home, I hope you don't dislike us."

Gu Lan chattered, and after walking for a while, she was bent over by the back basket and lowered her head.

Seeing that she was working, Aji reached out and grabbed the edge of the basket, "I'll come." ”

Where did Gu Lan dare to ask him to help, and hurriedly shook his head: "No need, I can do it myself!" ”

She was also such a strong character in her last life, she could do things by herself, and she would never ask for help, and other girls could find men to help them when they moved to college, but she was alone.

This is even more true after work, being called a desperate Saburo and successfully spelling himself into an insulator of the opposite sex.

In her thirties, everyone else had two children, and she was still alone.

Regrets? I don't regret it, after all, this is the way she chooses her own life.

But she had already lived the way of life in her previous life, and now she has another choice, she chooses to have a family, and a family.

Aji ignored her refusal, Gu Lan refused to let him carry it, he simply held the back basket, and he didn't know where he had so much strength in his thin body, and it was easy to lift the back basket without any effort.

Gu Lan was speechless, so she had to let him do this.

Finally returned home, Zhu'er and Liang'er took turns stirring the yellow mud, and when they saw her come back, they ran over like a little swallow.

The mouth chirped: "Sister! You're not tired! ”

"Sister, are you thirsty!"

"Put it down, sit down and rest!"

Even Zhu'er knew that she would bring water to Gu Lan, but it was a pity that she was too small and unstable, and a bowl of water could be sprinkled halfway.

Gu Lan sat on the stone pier, wiping the sweat on her face, this trip was already easy with Aji's help.

When she sat down, Zhu'er and Liang'er saw Aji.

"Why are you here?" Zhu'er looked at Aji vigilantly, he hadn't forgotten that his sister wanted to marry himself to this fool for a chicken, he didn't agree!

Liang Er's eyes swept over Aji's white clothes, and then guessed what happened, ran back to the house without saying a word, came over with a few cassava with leaves, asked Gu Lan to take one, and handed another one to Aji.

"Thank you for helping my sister carry something, this is for you to eat!"

Aggie looked at the strange thing in his hand, cylindrical, soft when pinched, and smelled a little fragrant.

Gu Lan raised her eyebrows, motioned for him to look at herself, and slowly peeled off her skin, her hands were not clean, she would never eat like this before, but now she is used to it.

Leave some skin to pinch, bite down, the white tapioca meat is cooled, the meat is firmer, sweet and delicious, and it makes the mouth fragrant.

Gu Lan ate with satisfaction and explained: "This is the tree kudzu, rest assured, there is no poison, we have been eating this to fill our stomachs for the past few days, you can taste it and see if you like it or not." ”

Kudzu.

Aji knew this, it was poisonous, and his grandfather was still talking a few days ago, if only the tree could really eat it.

If he could really eat it, he would have too many regrets to make up for it.

Aggie has heard those regrets many times, and every word is bloody and tearful.

Can kudzu really be eaten? He followed Gu Lan's example, peeled off the yellowish hemp skin, exposed the white fruit inside, and took a bite gently.

"Gollum!"

Unconsciously, Zhu'er Liang'er was fascinated by watching him eat, and he swallowed his saliva.

This guy, why is he always eating, and he eats so charmingly?

Aggie looked at them strangely and handed back the remaining cassava from the leaves.

Zhu'er waved his hand generously to cover up his behavior just now: "We still have a lot at home, you can eat it yourself, is it delicious?" ”

He was expecting Aggie's answer.

Zhu'er loves cassava very much, and since he can eat cassava, he swears that it is definitely his favorite thing to eat in his life! It's better than meat!

After eating cassava, he never went hungry again, and he was able to sleep well every day and wake up normally, instead of going to bed hungry and waking up hungry.

It was so painful.

Liang'er also likes cassava, but if he eats too much, his stomach will be a little uncomfortable, and he doesn't know that it is called acid reflux.

Cassava, like sweet potatoes, is eaten occasionally as a coarse grain, which is good for the body, but if it is eaten as a meal like them, it will cause excessive stomach acid and heartburn.

This is also why Gu Lan must make a stove and make cassava into starch.

If it is made into starch, it can be eaten as a staple food in exchange for tricks, and it can also be exchanged for money, which has many benefits!

Zhu'er doesn't understand why his brother and sister have so many opinions about cassava, and he tries to find someone who likes to eat cassava as much as he does, and praises it.

Aji chewed slowly, tasting the slightly sweet taste in his mouth, flowing into his stomach and turning into a full sense of satisfaction.

His eyes lit slightly, he looked at Zhu'er, nodded seriously, and answered his question.

"It's delicious, I like it."

"Okay!" Zhu'er jumped up happily, he had a hearty personality, and laughed: "You still have a vision, I will say that cassava is the best in the world!" ”
