Jiaohu

Chapter 44
There is a clay pot on the table,
It was the chicken Zhao Huniu sent in the clay pot.

However, it is different from the lively appearance during the day,
At this moment, the hair has been plucked and used to cook a delicious chicken soup.

Zhao Huniu stayed at Guo Yinshu's house for dinner, which was invited by Kou Yujiao kindly, so Zhao Huniu stayed - Kou Yujiao could cook good dishes,
Not to mention that the craftsmanship is better than Zhao Cunwu, but it is better than Jinlulou.
Even faintly suppressed one head.

This made Zhao Huniu more curious about Kou Yujiao in her heart.No matter how you look at it, Kou Yujiao doesn't look like someone from a small place.

The two women who are not too different in age have a very speculative conversation,

On the contrary, Guo Yinshu, who has the highest reputation here, can't get into the mouths of the two of them.

Kou Yujiao dabbled in the things that Zhao Huniu said casually—Guo Yinshu didn’t know about it, nor had he heard of it.

After all, since he can remember, he grew up in Brassica Village,

Apart from studying, Kou Yujiao never let Guo Yinshu know about anything other than reading.

Guo Yinshu is familiar with the poems and songs of the Four Books and Five Classics, but now listening to Zhao Huniu and Kou Yujiao talking about flowers, birds, fish and insects all over the world, Guo Yinshu is like a newborn baby,
Dazed and novel.

"I didn't expect you, Huniu, to be a native of Brassica Village since you were young, yet you would know so many things outside.
It was beyond my expectation."

After dinner, Kou Yujiao poured a cup of tea for Zhao Huniu and Guo Yinshu, but she didn't pour it for herself, and sat down between them with a smile.

"Do you have the habit of drinking tea after meals?"

"I can do it."

"That's good," Kou Yujiao shook her head, "I'm not in good health, but I can't drink tea after meals."

"Actually, Aunt Guo can go out for a run on weekdays. Running more is good for her health."

"Run?"

Hearing what Zhao Huniu said, Guo Yinshu and Kou Yujiao looked at each other in surprise, but seeing Zhao Huniu's serious expression, they knew she was not joking,

"Well, if there is a chance,"

Kou Yujiao did not directly refuse, but replied with a smile.

Zhao Huniu picked up the teacup and took a sip. The light taste of the tea reduced the smell of the food she had just eaten, so she put down the teacup.

"On weekdays, does Huniu know how to read?"

"Reading? No."

This is the truth,

Although Zhao Huniu can read and write, she didn't like to read any books except practice cheats when she was a child;

Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles.

She was deeply impressed by hearing this sentence from her master.

"Huh? I see that your speech is clear and well-educated, and you know so many things that can only be known outside Brassica Village. I thought you must love reading,"

"Um."

Zhao Huniu scratched her head,
She really didn't expect this.It can't be said that the memory of my previous life has been brought to this life, right?

"Look, but I don't read it all the time, but I just go to the bookstore to read miscellaneous books when I go to the city occasionally. I can't compare with a scholar like Guo Yinshu."

Hearing Zhao Huniu call her name, Guo Yinshu became inexplicably excited,
"very good already,"

Kou Yujiao didn't notice her son's little reaction, and continued to chat with Zhao Huniu:

"It's not easy for girls to be able to read and write. There are fewer and fewer people like you who can read and write. I only had the opportunity to read and write after I married Qilin's father.

Although my natal family can be said to be well-off, my parents never let me read books.

That's why I hope Qilin can study hard."

Saying that, Kou Yujiao glanced at Guo Yinshu, with the kindness and distress that only a mother would have in her eyes,
"After all, for people like us, the only way out is to study."

Zhao Huniu looked at Guo Yinshu,

Seeing the firmness shown by the young man when he heard his mother say this,

She hooked the corners of her mouth indiscriminately, and didn't continue to entangle with this topic, but instead talked to Kou Yujiao about the flowers in her yard.

Kou Yujiao became more and more excited when talking about the flowers she raised, and she started talking with Zhao Huniu about how to grow flowers.

This day, the South China Sea and the North are talking and talking,

Looking at the tip of the moon.

"It's getting late, let's ask Qilin to take you to the door,"

"No need for Aunt Guo, it's just a section of the village, nothing will happen. Besides, people in this village will avoid me when they see me, and no one will trouble me."

"Not good, not good,
You are always a girl, besides, we forced you to stay until this hour; it is not too late, there are probably people on the way when the weather is warmer, if we meet one or two drunk and messed up, it is our sin up.

Just ask Qilin to take you back,
Come here, kid,"

Guo Yinshu walked over, Kou Yujiao patted his shoulder,
"Send Tigress home and come back, okay?"

"Got it, mother,"

Guo Yinshu glanced at Zhao Huniu, and Zhao Huniu also looked at him,
Guo Yinshu averted his eyes.

As Kou Yujiao said, the weather is getting warmer, and it is only the rising of the moon at this moment,
The sky is a clear sapphire blue,
Many children in the village ran outside, caught fireflies and wrapped them in a piece of cloth,

It's like a little lantern with a faint light.

Zhao Huniu and Guo Yinshu were walking side by side with a distance of two people.

Zhao Huniu is relaxed,
Guo Yinshu didn't have such a leisurely mood as hers.

He was still thinking about how to apologize to Zhao Huniu. He had been thinking about it ever since his mother left Zhao Huniu for dinner.

How should I speak?
If she asked herself why she suddenly spoke so badly, shouldn't she tell her what her father said to her?

After all, it has nothing to do with her,
Maybe don't tell her to feel sorry for it.

After much deliberation, Guo Yinshu couldn't come up with a good solution, so he sighed unconsciously.

Even he himself didn't react, and sighed in this breath.

"If you are afraid that it will be late, and don't worry about your mother being at home alone, you can go back here,"

Zhao Huniu's voice suddenly rang in his ears, startling Guo Yinshu,
"I'll just go back for the rest of the way. It's not far away."

Ah, so she thought she was in a hurry to go home...

Realizing this, Guo Yinshu felt more and more guilty about what he said to Zhao Huniu in the afternoon. He shook his head:

"No. It's okay.

Actually, I want to say sorry for the words I said to you today, "

"What words?"

"When you came..."

"Ah that,"

Zhao Huniu said casually,

"Although I am very puzzled why you suddenly talk to me like this, but I think you have your own reasons. Now that you have apologized to me, can you just explain this reason and it is not on me,"

Guo Yinshu was taken aback by the unusual answer, he was silent for a moment, then nodded,
"That's good,"

Zhao Huniu's outline was slightly blurred in the night, Guo Yinshu looked sideways at her, only her eyes could be seen,

Shining bright in the dark,
"I'm afraid that I hurt you somewhere, and I'm worried. Hearing what you say, I feel relieved."

Guo Yinshu didn't know how to answer.

Obviously she said some unfriendly things to her with a bad attitude, but she didn't blame herself...

Instead, she was worried that her unintentional actions had hurt herself...

Zhao Huniu's home will arrive soon, when Guo Yinshu was thinking about what she said,
Say goodbye briefly,
Zhao Huniu went into the yard and closed the door.

Guo Yinshu didn't dare to stand at the door any longer, turned around and left, but what Zhao Huniu just said was still in his mind.

No wonder my mother said she was a good person,

Guo Yinshu thought so.
