NOVEL NEXT 76: It's Said Something Big Happened!
After quickly washing up, Gu Yu tidied himself and walked to the main room to eat breakfast with the siblings.
The breakfast wasn’t anything special, just rice porridge with some pickled vegetables, but Gu Yu ate it with relish.
Being able to eat rice porridge in the morning now felt like a dream to Gu Yu.
Especially when he recalled how he had been hungry for a whole day when he first transmigrated, just thinking about it made him eat an extra bowl of porridge now.
“Brother-in-law, while you were still in bed, that woman called Yang Cao came again!”
“She came again?”
“Yes, I chased her away with the big broom. Even though she was crying with tears all over her face, I wouldn’t let her enter our home again.”
“Well done! Keep doing that in the future! When she comes, chase her away! If anything happens, I’ll take responsibility.”
“Hehehe, brother-in-law is so cool!”
During the meal, when Gu Yu heard Gu Qingheng say that Yang Cao had come again, his brows furrowed involuntarily.
But after hearing that Gu Qingheng had directly and roughly driven her away, Gu Yu finally relaxed his tightly knit brows. He turned to look at Gu Qingheng with a smile on his face, the obvious appreciation in his eyes making Gu Qingheng self-consciously rub the back of his head.
Nearby, seeing the interaction between the two, Gu Mengyao didn’t know what to say.
So childish, just like little kids.
Come to think of it, Gu Yu and Qingheng were only four years apart, so they were both still children!
However…
When Gu Mengyao remembered that she was a year older than Gu Yu, she suddenly felt a sense of crisis. She thought that she must take good care of herself in the future and learn to behave like other women, lest she be called a shrew later on.
But Gu Mengyao was clearly overthinking. Worrying about taking care of herself when she was only thirteen, while others were thinking about how to make her grow up quickly!
Before she had started taking Gu Yu seriously, Gu Mengyao hadn’t had these random thoughts like she did now. It had to be said, this was truly a sweet torment!
“There’s nothing to do after eating, shall we go for a walk?”
“Sure! I want to go to the village. I heard something big happened this morning, but I haven’t had a chance to find out yet!”
“What happened?”
“I’m not too clear either, because I haven’t inquired about it yet! Brother-in-law, eat quickly. Sister, you too, don’t swallow in such small bites! Usually you eat faster than anyone, what are you pretending to be now? Ouch, you’re hitting me…”
When Gu Yu suggested going out for a stroll, Gu Qingheng immediately raised his hand in agreement. As he spoke, he held his bowl and quickly finished his porridge, while also urging Gu Mengyao and Gu Yu to hurry.
Gu Mengyao had clearly taken Gu Qingheng’s words from yesterday to heart, causing her to no longer be as frugal as before when cooking!
Just like the rice porridge they were eating today—the rice grains were almost overflowing from the water’s surface, looking more like rice with just a bit of water, very substantial!
The staple food for rural families was usually coarse grain that cost three to five copper coins per jin. Very few families mixed coarse grains and fine grains together. Now, the Gu family was directly eating pure rice, which would probably make others die of envy if they knew.
The rice, flour, and seasonings that Gu Yu had previously bought from town were still piled up in the kitchen! However, although Gu Yu had told Gu Mengyao to make more delicious food, Gu Mengyao had been accustomed to frugality for these years, so the food was still the same as before.
Gu Yu couldn’t do anything about this.
But after experiencing Gu Yu fainting twice, Gu Mengyao was no longer the same as before. Instead, she had abandoned frugality and started using more ingredients, wanting to build up Gu Yu’s body.
If Gu Yu kept fainting, it would be fine at home, but if it happened outside, it would be dangerous.
Even if he just got bumped or knocked on the ground, he could be seriously injured!
