Return of the daughter: The black-bellied young man is too difficult to deal with

Chapter 163 Sweet and Sour Fish

Mo Lan doesn't like staying in hotels. She thinks that if she wants to better understand a place, especially the characters and characteristics of the local residents, she should stay with them.

In this way, she will better experience a different life. The places Mo Lan usually chooses to travel are completely different from her own rhythm of life.

If she lives in a hotel, there will always be a sense of incompatibility that prevents her from truly blending in with the local people, so Mo Lan usually chooses to live in a place similar to a B&B.

Gu Jingcheng booked a homestay in advance.

Suzhou is famous for its water. Except for the high-rise buildings in the city center, the more you go to the edge of the city, the more rivers you can see.

This city is like flowing water, quiet and clear, you can see its connotation at a glance, but it is easy to be attracted.

Gu Jingcheng chose a very good place. Their homestay is right next to a river, and by opening the window, Mo Lan can see the water flowing quietly.

Mo Lan and Gu Jingcheng sent their luggage to the B&B. The owners of the B&B are a very gentle couple. They are very enthusiastic and friendly when they see Mo Lan.

The husband and wife also had a son named Xiao Bao, who was twelve or thirteen years old, just the naughty age, the proprietress asked Xiao Bao to take Mo Lan upstairs, Xiao Bao reluctantly agreed.

Walking and muttering all the way, Mo Lan couldn't help laughing.After putting down their luggage, Mo Lan and Gu Jingcheng took a rest, they were going to have lunch before going out to play.

The food provided in the homestay is very simple, but it is very distinctive. The taste of the south is very sweet, but Gu Jingcheng can still get used to it. He is a little worried that Mo Lan's taste is different.

Fortunately, Mo Lan is not picky about food. Although it is indeed a bit sweet, she can still accept it. Xiaobao and them had dinner together, and they planned to separate, but they didn't mind, so they decided to go together.

Xiaobao looked at the fish with longing eyes, and Mo Lan laughed, "Eat as much as you want, it looks like you are hesitant."

Xiaobao curled his mouth, feeling aggrieved, "I don't know how to eat, and I get stuck every time I eat, so my mother won't let me eat alone."

The proprietress was cleaning the kitchen, and the boss went out to buy things. No one helped Xiaobao deal with it, so he didn't dare to eat even if he wanted to.

Mo Lan had no choice but to pick up a piece of fish and carefully pick out the thorns. The sweet and sour fish can be said to be the boss's specialty, and such a delicious little treasure is not often eaten.

Although I run a homestay, there are too many homestays like this in Suzhou, so the pressure of competition is still very high. The proprietress is very honest and doesn’t know how to promote online, so the business in the store is not very good.

Generally, the proprietress cooks fish only when entertaining guests, so Xiaobao needs to have guests in the store if he wants to eat it.

Mo Lan watched Xiaobao eat with gusto, and couldn't help but feel happy. Xiaobao is very smart, chubby and cute.

Mo Lan was so focused on picking on Xiaobao that she forgot to eat.Gu Jingcheng was helpless, but he didn't want to disturb her either. Looking at the two people eating and chatting, Gu Jingcheng suddenly felt that this was the life he pursued.

Although simple, but happy, silently put the dishes into Mo Lan's bowl according to Mo Lan's taste.Gu Jingcheng reminded Mo Lan to eat from time to time.

When the proprietress finally finished her work and had time to come over to take care of Xiaobao, he had already had dinner and went out to play.

The proprietress thanked Mo Lan and Mo Lan very gratefully, and Mo Lan said it was okay, Gu Jingcheng looked at her, "I didn't expect you to like children so much?"

Mo Lan smiled and said, "Why don't you like them? Don't you think they are like angels? Xiaobao may be much less than us, but his happiness is real, isn't it?"

Mo Lan has always thought so, "Think about it, we have everything, and what we have accepted since childhood is the best. Because of this, we have never enjoyed the fish that our parents picked out and carefully cooked. "

"Maybe we have eaten a lot of delicious food, and all of these little treasures need to work hard to obtain, but the simple happiness he possesses is even more beyond our reach, isn't it?"

Mo Lan's expression was full of longing, "If I haven't enjoyed it, then I hope my children can experience this ordinary but happy thing."

Gu Jingcheng did not expect Mo Lan to say that, she knew that Mo Lan grew up abroad, and the concept of family in foreigners is actually more lacking than in China.

They believe that everyone has their own way and that family is just a place where a person stays temporarily, so they don't care much about these details.

Mo Lan picked up the fish as she spoke, and then went to the thorns. She put the fish into Gu Jingcheng's bowl, "Although our relationship is not the same as that of family, I don't think you have such experience."

Gu Jingcheng was stunned, he did it before, her mother was very serious about food, and she was very good at dealing with Gu Jingcheng, she would not let Gu Jingcheng grow up pampered because of her family background.

So when it comes to food, ordinary people generally eat whatever they eat, but the mother has higher requirements for the ingredients.

Gu Jingcheng didn't know how to eat when he was a child.Then his mother would clean up the fishbone for him just like Mo Lan just did. Since he grew up, he never let his mother do this again, and then...

Gu Jingcheng sighed. After his mother left, he had no chance even if he thought about it. Gu Jingcheng thought that he would never have the chance to be treated like this again in his life.

His eyes were a little red, and Mo Lan knew that he might have thought of something sad, so he spoke first, "I did this to make you happy, it doesn't make sense for me to do it like this."

Gu Jingcheng smiled lightly, he controlled his mood, "What are you going to do after dinner?"

Mo Lan didn't have any special plans. In a place like this, even just walking casually on the street would make people feel happy.

"The street we are in is built near the water. Let's not go out to play today. Let's go shopping along this street. I want to take a boat at night."

Gu Jingcheng nodded, the two of them had a meal and rested for a while and then went to the street, they didn't take a taxi, they just walked slowly along the street hand in hand.

There are shops on the left, retail stores, clothing stores, hardware stores, and the river on the right.Suzhou is a quiet city, so these shops don't seem to exist.

There is no loudspeaker promotion, no advertising promotion, not even hawking.They are open so quietly, if you want to enter, you can go in and take a look, otherwise, you just pass by the door, and it will not invite you in.

Instead of describing it as indifference, it is better to say that it is a kind of indifference. The people here do not have such a purpose.Their lives are very peaceful and simple. They are not worried about whether the business is good or bad. They care more about whether they are happy or not.

Tiredness for work is obviously not their theme, Suzhou people seem to prefer to relax.
