The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 53 The Disappearing Rabbit Meat

Gu Chengyu bid farewell to Li Langzhong and his wife, declined Yao Shi's persuasion, and prepared to go back, if he didn't go back, maybe his mother would come to arrest him.

Walking from the end of the village to Gu's courtyard, he was already halfway there, only to find that his elder brother was walking this way, "Brother, where are you going?" Gu Chengyu stepped forward two steps and asked.

"Little Treasure! I'm about to pick you up from Mr. Li's house! Mother is waiting at home, why is it so late?"

"I learned to recognize medicinal materials at Uncle Li's house, but I forgot the time, and mother still asked you to pick me up? This is in the village, can I still get lost?" Gu Chengyu was a little helpless, his mother just saw him too strict, It made it inconvenient for him to do many things. It seemed that building a house was imminent. His mother watched him during the day and slept in the same room at night, so he had no time to enter the space.

In Li's house, Langzhong Li was concocting some medicinal materials. After Gu Chengyu left, Mrs. Yao finished cleaning up the kitchen and sat opposite Langzhong Li.

"But it has already been decided?" Yao looked at Li Langzhong and asked softly.

"What do you think? This youngest member of the Gu family is clever, talented and intelligent, calm and not impetuous, and more importantly, good-natured, so he is a suitable candidate." Li Langzhong and the Yao family have known each other for many years. Needless to say, they know that if you ask What is it.

"This little baby is really nice and likable, and I am very satisfied. It is reasonable to say that if we want to choose someone, he will do his part. However, I am afraid that what we think is not what we want." Mrs. Yao helped Li Lang sift the herbs on the ground. Check the energy and put it in the sieve.

Li Langzhong stopped holding the medicinal material, looked up at Yao, and asked suspiciously: "How do you say that?" People, how much can they share?A few hundred taels is actually not much. If he made this request, the Gu family would definitely not disagree.

Yao shi smiled mysteriously: "Otherwise, let's make a bet? I bet the Gu family won't agree."

"Oh? Haha. Ma'am is really in a good mood. Well, I'll take this bet with you, so what if you lose?" Li Langzhong was also very happy to see Yao's rare expression of such interest.Ever since she came to Shangling Village, his wife has always been preoccupied. She has a quiet temperament, doesn't like to go out, and can't talk to those rural women. With the baby at home, his wife can be happier, and she laughs a lot today.

"Maybe the master lost? Let's wait and see!" Of course Yao refused to admit defeat.

Let's say that when Gu Chengyu returned home, as soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he was greeted with a warm hug from his mother, "You are really eating at Mr. Li's house! You are welcome, but you are greedy for mung bean cakes. Why don’t you want to leave? If you really want to eat it, I’ll go to town and ask your father to buy it for you in the future.” Shi Lu thought that Gu Chengyu didn’t like cloud cakes, but mung bean cakes. Shi Lu used to love Gu Chengyu, but of course he didn’t The youngest son wanted to eat, but she was reluctant to say it.

"Mom, I don't want to eat mung bean cake! Have you eaten yet?" Gu Chengyu was about to drag his mother into the house, "Mother, where are the little rabbits from yesterday? I have to mow them! Dad said These rabbits are for me."

"Don't listen to your father's nonsense, how can my son do rough work like mowing the grass? I have sent Da Lang and the others, and when you come back, the rabbit will have starved to death! I asked your sister-in-law to stew the big rabbit , You didn’t come back to eat again, so I warmed it up in the pot for you, and I’ll bring it to you, but you haven’t tasted it yet! The taste is delicious. You go back to the house and wait.”

When Gu Chengyu passed by the west wing room, he found that the door of the room was ajar, and there was no one in the room. The second elder brother and the second sister-in-law should have gone to the ground, but Da Lang and Er Lang were not in the house. Mother assigned work, and Gu Mei has been following Da Ya all along, so she probably isn't here at this moment.But there was a scent wafting from the concealed room, the scent was not strong, only a trace remained, if Gu Chengyu hadn't been transformed by Lingquan, her nose wouldn't be so sharp!
After smelling it carefully, Gu Chengyu shook his head and laughed, this second sister-in-law.It is estimated that after a while, his mother will have to scream.Sure enough, as soon as Gu Chengyu turned around and walked towards the kitchen, he heard his mother's cry: "Oh! Where's my meat? Who the hell is this shameless thing? How dare you steal meat? There are thieves in the house!"

Gu Chengyu walked quickly to the stove, only to see his mother slapping her thighs and jumping there, and then looked into the pot, okay!There are still three yuan left?Didn't dare to finish it?Who else in this family can do such a thing as stealing food?That must be his second sister-in-law!

It was not only Gu Chengyu who was attracted by Lu's shout, but also Gu Chenglian, "Mother, what's the matter? What happened?" Seeing his mother's anxiety, Gu Chenglian thought something serious happened.

"Third brother! I just walked away for a while, and our house was robbed. The meat I left in the pot was stolen and eaten, and Xiao Wu hasn't eaten it yet! Such a bowl of meat, there are more than ten It’s one yuan! Now there are only three yuan left.” Mrs. Lu is really distressed!A half of a rabbit was stewed, and the old man ate one piece, and gave one piece to each of the four brothers, and Gu Wan also ate one piece, and steamed the rest in the pot, and prepared to save it for her little treasure. It was stolen and eaten, and Erya watched it.

By the way, what about Erya?Could it be Er Ya who stole it?
"Mother, why are you making such a fuss? Who would come to our house to steal a few pieces of meat? Maybe someone in the family ate it." Gu Chenglian felt that his mother really liked to be surprised, and it wasn't because the family lost money. , went back to the house.

"That's right! Could it be that Erya stole the food?" The more Lu thought about it, the more suspicious she became, and she shouted to the East Wing: "Erya, Erya, come out!"

"Mother, forget it, it's not Erya's food, it's just a few pieces of rabbit meat, just eat it." Gu Chengyu hurriedly stopped her, but it's none of Erya's business, she can't be wronged, and it's not worth it for a few pieces of rabbit meat.

"She didn't eat it, who ate it, she was the only one with a few small ones in the room today, and everyone else went to the ground, so it's possible that the rabbit meat would come back to life and run away by itself?" Mrs. Lu felt furious. , This is simply not paying attention to her.

"Hey! Grandma, are you calling me?" The second girl, Gu Lan, trotted from the east wing to the kitchen. She had no choice but to call her, and if she didn't come right away, she would be scolded to death.As soon as she entered the kitchen, she shrank when she saw the murderous Mrs. Lu and the uncle standing beside her.I glanced at the pot in the morning, but found that the lid of the pot had been lifted, and the bowl containing the meat was placed on the stove, and the meat that was full to the mouth of the bowl was gone.Er Ya's heart skipped a beat, and she had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, "Ah, didn't I tell you to watch the meat? Where's the rabbit meat? You're not here to watch, where did you go? Did you just hide away? Or was it stolen by you?" Staring at Erya's face, not letting go of any expression on Erya's face.

"Grandma, I don't dare to eat rabbit meat. If you don't believe me, you can hear it?" Er Ya hurriedly explained.How could she have the guts?

"You didn't eat it, who ate it? I told you to look at the pot, where did you go?" Mrs. Lu believed that Erya didn't steal it, she didn't have the guts.
