The farmer has a mall

Chapter 62 The Man in Black

On the morning of the [-]th, Mrs. Liu started frying vegetables.

Fried vegetables are also called "walking oil", which is a New Year's custom.

Villagers in Shangshan Village usually fry some vegetarian dishes such as radish balls and tofu puffs.

In addition to these, Liu also made fried meat and fried lotus root.

Gu Nanyan stood by the pot with the two children, drooling at the smell of the meat.

Aunt Cui saw that the bottom of the pot of radish balls was visible to the naked eye, and her mouth was full of greasy food, she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

It was rare for Gu Nanyan to wear a red jacket today, this was specially made for her by Mrs. Liu.

Her cheeks were flushed by the heat, and she looked very festive.

Before dinner, Gu Laishhou came over with a basket of rice cakes. The family had to spend the New Year in Gu's old house, so they came to see Mrs. Liu.

Gu Yueju also came, she held Gu Nanyan's hand and didn't know what to say.

She couldn't read a few words, and she didn't know how to calculate accounts. She didn't know how much money the monthly commission was.

Unexpectedly, brother Cui gave her seven taels yesterday!

It's only seven taels in half a month. For them, they can't save these for a few years.

She felt like she was dreaming.

"Sister Nan, thank you."

Gu Laishhou also came over and patted Gu Yueju's head with a smile.

"I thought that my father earned a lot, but I didn't expect that our Yueju is more capable than me."

Gu Yueju smiled embarrassedly, she knew that Gu Nanyan took care of her specially.

She thought back then that she envied her father and brother for earning more than she did.

"I discussed it with Brother Cui, and it will open in the third year of junior high school. You made the fruit basket sell very well. Many people must buy it as a gift during the New Year's Eve."

Gu Nanyan nodded, it's a good thing to be motivated, and she doesn't want to dampen their enthusiasm.

"You can do it as you see, just pay attention to your health, I will bring you some standing medicine later."

Gu Yueju didn't know what the standing medicine was, but what Gu Nanyan could give must be good.

Gu Laishhou sat for a while and then left. Now that the second elder brother has returned, he is worried that Xiao Liu is at home by himself.

Before leaving, he told Gu Nanyan that Gu Chengzong had just arrived home at noon, and he didn't have the nerve to come over to disturb her after the New Year, and he would talk to her about business after the New Year.

Several members of the Liu family were busy, while Gu Nanyan had nothing to do, so he ran to the door to hang the Spring Festival couplets. From a distance, he saw two figures getting closer.

Li Yi smiled: "General Gu wanted to celebrate the New Year with you, so this king has the audacity to follow. I wonder if Miss Gu welcomes you?"

Gu Yao strode over, holding an oiled paper bag in his hand.

"This is your favorite steamed sweet-scented osmanthus cake. I saw some for sale on the way here, so I bought a few."

Sister Nan is fond of sweets. When she was in the General's Mansion, it almost became a habit for the old wife to order the woman in the kitchen to make a steamed dish every morning.

Gu Nanyan sniffed it, and sure enough, she smelled the sweet and sweet scent of osmanthus.

She stretched out her hand to take it, but it was still a little hot.

"Thank you."

Mrs. Liu heard the noise and saw that it was Li Yi and Nanan's grandfather, so she hurriedly welcomed them in.

The New Year's Eve dinner is eaten in the main room, and most of the table is meat.

Mrs. Liu laughed the whole time, and she said to Gu Yao, "They are all farm dishes, don't dislike them."

Nannan's grandfather was well dressed, and the material of the clothes looked very good, so he was not an ordinary man.

After all, he was the granddaughter's grandfather. She was afraid that Gu Yao would find the food in their village unpalatable, so she asked Li Yi quietly about his taste.

Gu Yao also smiled: "Ma'am, it's serious. When Gu was fighting in the past, he even gnawed on the roots of trees. These are already very rich."

"Have you ever been a soldier?" Liu was surprised.

Judging by his bearing, he should also have an official position.

"What does the aunt's father do?" Mrs. Liu wanted to ask yesterday. Although it was a good thing to find her family, she was a little worried when her granddaughter came here with injuries all over her body.

"Sister Nan's father is the second child in the family, and he was also a soldier like me, but since she disappeared, he resigned from his official position and stayed at home."

Fortunately, I found it now, otherwise my son would have been depressed forever.

Seeing that someone's sad matter was brought up, Mrs. Liu didn't want to ask any more. She just wanted to ask Li Yi later, after all, the two of them looked very familiar.

Several people had dinner talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

After drinking and eating, Zhao'er and Li Xu pestered Gu Nanyan and set off firecrackers. The two little guys couldn't stand it anymore, so they went to bed early.

Mrs. Liu was too old to stay up all night. In the end, only Gu Nanyan, Li Yi, Gu Yao and Li Mi were left to watch the night.

Gu Yao took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to his granddaughter.

"It was supposed to be given to you tomorrow, but it's inconvenient for grandfather to come and disturb you all day, and it's almost midnight. I hope you will go smoothly in the future, and there will be no more ups and downs."

Gu Nanyan took it happily, and touched it quietly. It looked like a bank note, and it felt quite thick.

"Thank you, grandfather." It seemed that he was another big benefactor, and he didn't suffer from calling him a grandfather after giving him so much money.

This was the first time Gu Yao had heard Gu Nanyan call his grandfather since the reunion, and he raised his head and laughed happily.

Seeing this, Li Mi also took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it over.

Only elders can give red envelopes, Gu Nanyan doubts that this guy is taking advantage of her.

Seeing her squinting at him, Li Mi hurriedly said, "It's 200 taels!"

He borrowed the money from Xiao Jiu, and he had already inquired about it. It is fashionable for the villagers to let children go door-to-door to pay New Year's greetings. If he is not prepared, wouldn't he make a fool of himself tomorrow?

Gu Nanyan heard him say that there were 200 taels in the red envelope, so she grabbed it.

She smiled and said to Li Mi: "Good boy!"

It's impossible to take advantage of her. For the sake of the Chinese New Year, let's not beat him up.

Li Mi: "..."

What the hell is it to coax a child? !

Seeing the emperor's brother deflated with his own eyes, Li Yi raised his lips.

He handed the small box that he had prepared in his arms to Gu Nanyan.

"Happy New Year, this is an annual gift for you."

Gu Nanyan took the box, opened it, and found a hairpin carved from white jade inside.

The jade hairpin was shining white under the moonlight, delicate and smooth to the touch, with a hint of warmth, and it was very valuable at first glance.

What Li Yi didn't tell her was that this hairpin was carved by him himself, and the jade was made of rare yin and yang warm jade, which was from the same material as the black jade he gave her before.

Gu Nanyan likes it very much. She doesn't like to wear those gold and silver jewelry. She usually picks up a twig and puts her hair in a bun. Although it is convenient, she always wears her hair.

Seeing how she liked it, Li Yi knew that the gift was right.

Gu Nanyan looked at Li Mi with disgust in his eyes.

Seeing how many people are good at giving things, he just gave the banknotes directly. What if people misunderstand that she is greedy for money?
They are obviously brothers, so why is there such a big difference.

Gu Nanyan clicked his tongue twice at Li Mi.

Li Mi felt angina when he saw Gu Nanyan, stood up tremblingly and prepared to go back to sleep.

Xiao Jiu also learned from her badly, how will he live in the future.

Just after midnight, Li Mi went back to the house, and Gu Yao and the two were ready to go back.

They simply came here on horseback, and it didn't take long to go back and forth.

Gu Nanyan sent them out of the door, locked the door, and went back to the backyard with today's spoils.

It suddenly occurred to her that the steamed osmanthus cake that Gu Yao bought for her was still in the front yard, and she only ate a piece, so don't let the mice eat it in the middle of the night, so she went back to get it again.

As soon as he stepped into the front yard, he heard a few light footsteps outside the gate.

The person who came here should be very skilled in martial arts, if it wasn't for Gu Nanyan's amazing hearing ability, he might not be able to hear it.

Her complexion changed, she put the things in her hands on the ground, walked over lightly, and looked out through the crack of the door.

Today is the first day of the new year, there is no moonlight at night, and it is dark outside.

But Gu Nanyan could still see clearly.

On the dark and silent path, countless rows of men in black were approaching their yard lightly under their feet.

　Gu Nanyan: There's no end to it, people come to assassinate me every day, I'm still your daughter? !
　　Dulian Jun: What can I do, you are hated by others, and there is a big fool who loves to offend others at home, if you don’t come to assassinate me a few times, my conscience will hurt!

　　Gu Nanyan: ...you wait for me
