Splendid pastoral, the doctor girl is a little sweet

Chapter 45 Beware of Temptation
Only then did Gu Yingying learn that her father, Xu Shibo and the others knew Aunt Xiu's husband.

Then, my father must know something about their family.

After Xu Shibo and the others left here, Gu Yingying asked Gu Qingfeng: "Father, did you know the father of the son who gave the child the thermos?"

Why didn't I hear Dad mention this before?

After hearing this, Gu Qingfeng said calmly, "I must have mentioned it before, but you didn't pay attention to it before."

Whether it was at his own home, at Xu's home, or at the second brother's home over at the academy, when he talked with them, he would inevitably mention people from the Zhao family.

He would say that there is Brother Zhao in the imperial city, and he treats him very well.

Not only is it good to him, but it is also good to the people who passed by in Jinxia Prefecture.

Of course, I also know that Brother Zhao's wife and son are people who know how to be grateful.In order to give Yinger a thermos, he exchanged a painting worth several hundred taels of silver with a businessman in Yunguo.

Today, I asked Brother Xu to send them a few bags of rice.

After receiving a big gift, I don't know how to repay the favor.Gu Qingfeng thought for a while, and said to Gu Yingying: "How about we wait a little longer, and when your Xu Shibo comes back from buying flour, you can make some pastries and entrust them to deliver to the Zhao family."

Gu Yingying was also troubled by the fact that she could not buy flour.

It's just that in the past few days, I can't leave the village, and I can't go to Fucheng to buy some by myself.Suddenly remembered that Feng Mei had told Aunt Xu that she still had some flour when she was having lunch at Xu Tai's house.

I just want to wait until tomorrow to go to Xu Tai's house, ask Aunt Xu for help and ask Feng Mei, can I sell her some flour?

The next day.

After eating lunch, Gu Yingying went into the kitchen with Xu Xinlan to wash the dishes, and heard what the other party said.

"Heh, there is something that I almost forgot to tell you. It's like this. Aunt Feng agreed to the question you asked my mother to help you. But the flour in her family is less than twenty catties. She still has to keep ten catties of dumplings for herself, and there are only a few catties that can be sold to you."

"That's very good, just a few catties, it's better than I don't have flour to make pastries." Gu Yingying was already very satisfied, and asked Xu Xinlan:

"how much is it?"

"Aunt Feng said that in this year's situation, it is difficult for farmers to buy food. The land of Jinxia is a land of fish and rice. For many years, they have grown more rice and relatively less wheat. So you I exchange rice with her for flour, so I need to add some rice."

Xu Xinlan put the washed dishes into the cupboard, closed the wooden door, and said.

Sister Yingying was on the merchant ship, and she could talk to the shopkeeper in Yunguo dialect. It was a matter of calculating how much money she had, so it would not be a problem for her.

"As long as I can get flour, what will Aunt Feng say?" In Gu Yingying's memory, it was difficult to find much information related to Feng Mei.So I can only learn from Xu Xinlan and call that person "Aunt Feng".

Gu Yingying took the shampoo and bath powder she made herself, asked Fan's help, and wrote a letter to a friend of Fan's in Fucheng, and exchanged fifty catties of rice with that person.

After Xu Shibo brought back a bag of rice, Gu Yingying took it out and exchanged flour with Feng Mei and other women in the same village.

Unexpectedly, when she followed Sister Xinlan to Feng Mei's house to fetch flour, she heard Feng Mei asking Sister Xinlan:
"Didn't I tell you two long ago? I'm at home alone, and I only save some flour. I'll make some dumplings during the Chinese New Year, and I'll give the rest to Yinger. But Yinger even carried half a bag of rice on her back." Come on, what's going on?"

"Hahahaha, you just keep it anyway, don't feel embarrassed." Xu Xinlan gave Gu Yingying a sneaky look, which coincidentally met the other's gaze looking at her.Seeing sister Yingying's innocent eyes, she suddenly smiled.

Seeing this scene, Feng Mei felt a trace of warmth in her eyes.I was young in my early years, so of course I know the thoughts of young women.

Even if the folks have discussed in private that Gu Xiaoyaer must be interested in a certain son, so she makes cakes every few days, and asks Xinlan's father to send it to that person.

But today, after hearing what Xinlan and Gu Xiaoyaer said, she felt that Xinlan also knew Gu Xiaoyaer's thoughts and hoped that they could be together.

Feng Mei didn't refuse, and accepted the rice sent by Gu Yingying, but gave the other party ten catties of flour, and also took out some twisted doughnuts brought back by the father-in-law's niece, Tuo Xinlan, and distributed them to Gu Yingying and Xin Orchid to eat.

Gu Yingying took the mahua and smiled confidently at Feng Mei, "Oh, I can also make mahua. When I can buy flour later, I will buy some and make mahua for you to eat."

"Okay, okay." Feng Mei felt warm in her heart. For her who had been widowed for many years, the happiest thing was to hear such heart-warming words.

After sending Gu Yingying and Xu Xinlan out of the gate, Feng Mei asked Xu Xinlan in private:
"I told you clearly, but you still didn't tell Gu Xiaoyaer. You, it's not that you don't know that her family doesn't have much food, but you don't think about her. Could it be that you thought of me? Is it too difficult to do work at home alone?"

A cunning flashed in Xu Xinlan's eyes, and she said, "That's not true, Aunt Feng. If I told you that you don't want anything, she would be too embarrassed to come to you to get it."

After hearing this, Feng Mei smiled helplessly, "That little girl, how did she become like this now?"

"It's changed, isn't it good?" Xu Xinlan asked with a smile and bent eyes.

At least after sister Yingying changed, not only many villagers felt that she had changed for the better.Even she herself felt that only the better sister Yingying would be more suitable for Brother Xun.

night.

Gu Yingying responded to the request of her parents and made more than ten kinds of pastries, and invited some villagers to come to her house to try.

It was my father who told the family that His Royal Highness and Lord Xu have both been to Jinxia City.In addition to taking away some grain and grass, I also told Xu Shibo and the others that the rice must be harvested and dried as soon as possible, so that they can rush to the imperial city earlier.

No matter how difficult it is, you have to go to the north as soon as possible to drive away the gang of thieves from Lou Kingdom!
My father said that more than 20 years ago, he fought with Mr. Xu and the others to resist the powerful enemy of the Lou Kingdom.Many of the folks who went out with them at that time did not survive.

When it comes to this matter, my father is heartbroken.

In particular, Father Guo's son was mentioned. Before he was alive, he was reluctant to eat and wear clothes. He saved up his military pay and said he would keep it for his parents.As a result, he left, and his parents were even more sad when they saw the money he left behind.

"I have discussed with your mother, kill four pigs, slaughter a sheep, cook a few pots of meat, and invite all the villagers to have a meal." Gu Qingfeng is particularly confident in his daughter's cooking skills , so it is proposed:

"It's your second sister-in-law who lit the fire, and you cook."

After hearing this, Gu Yingying readily agreed.

Even if you know, this time when parents treat guests to dinner, they will eat a lot of food and meat.But as long as the folks eat happily, these are actually nothing.
