Chapter 19 Want to eat pickles
◎I want to eat pickles everyday, so I went to my aunt's house. Today is another day full of energy. ◎
The next day, Gu Zeyu rarely wanted to get out of bed after waking up. The soft bed was so comfortable, especially with the warm sunlight shining into the bed from the window, it felt like sleeping in a bed made of sunlight. It was so warm and almost melted.
However, I lay down for another 10 minutes, and then I lifted the quilt and got up.
Gu Zeyu changed into blue clothes, which still fit well. It seemed that Gu Zeyu was tall and long-legged, and he was a handsome man.
I bought this suit at the Dexian Buzhuang in the town. I bought two suits at the time, one in black and one in blue. Gu Zeyu actually prefers black clothes. But yesterday I saw brother Cheng wearing blue, and I think blue is lively and cute, and he looks very energetic.
So today I also wore a blue suit, looked in the mirror, and combed my hair. Sure enough, Gu Zeyu looked younger, like a young boy.
There was another smile at the corner of his mouth, not bad, Gu Zeyu left the bronze mirror in satisfaction and went to the kitchen to cook.
This time, he still planned to cook some porridge, and then boiled two eggs for a simple meal.
But it's still too bland, he has a strong taste, and he wants to eat it with pickles, dried salted radish, spicy cabbage, whatever.
I don’t have any at home, and it takes time to pickle. Gu Zeyu thinks that next time I go to my uncle’s house, I can ask him if there are many pickles. , This is a must-have on the peasant family's dining table. It is easy to eat and relieve the tiredness. If you don't want to cook, you can eat pickles directly as a dish.
Neatly cooking the porridge, Gu Zeyu finished it quickly, and filled some burnable firewood under the stove, and went to get some water to wash. There is an old well in the house, which is very convenient to drink water, and the water quality is also very good. It was even lukewarm when freshly brewed.
Gu Zeyu took a little exercise in the yard after washing up, ran around twice, punched again, stopped when his body was sweating, and then washed his face with water to see if the rice was cooked.
Entering the kitchen, he smelled the sweet smell of rice porridge. Gu Zeyu knew it was almost done, so he lifted the lid of the pot to see if it was cooked. He took out the eggs, and then saw the bubbling rice porridge, which was a bit overcooked. After a long time, it got a bit mushy, and the rice porridge became very thick, but Gu Zeyu didn't care, it tasted more delicious with a bit of burnt smell.
Put out a bowl of rice porridge, put eggs on it, and put it directly on the dining table. Gu Zeyu didn't choose to eat directly in the kitchen.
He feels that eating at the dining table can look at the scenery of the yard and breathe fresher air, which is comfortable and has a sense of ceremony.
Soon Gu Zeyu finished making a bowl of porridge and two eggs. He went to wash the bowls and was ready to go out.
This time I went out to the uncle's house again, because the uncle said that Gu Xin was going to study in a private school in the town today, and Gu Zeyu wanted to send Gu Xin off.
After leaving the house, I met people from the village. This time, I met a few men. They were Gu Zeyu's age. They were all married and had children, and they were no longer on the same level as Gu Zeyu. Gu Zeyu was single, but they already had a family. Bearing the responsibility of supporting the family, these guys have weather-beaten marks on their faces, and they look like they are older than Gu Zeyu.
They greeted Gu Zeyu as soon as they saw him.
"Where is Zeyu going?"
"During the few days you've been back, Shenlong hasn't seen anyone wagging his tail, and he hasn't met much. If you have time, let's have a chat."
"Gu Zeyu, is what the village chief said true? Are you really given five hundred acres of land for your great achievements on the battlefield?"
Gu Zeyu answered one by one without avoiding the topic, "I'm going to my uncle's house. If you have time, of course we can chat together. I'm a little busy these days. What the village chief said is true, but I only got five hundred acres of land. , I still don’t know whether it’s good or bad, and I’m still busy cultivating it.”
Those men were just curious, and after getting the answer, they said a few words and left. They also had something to do.
After Gu Zeyu passed by them, he quickened his pace. Today's weather is very good, it is a sunny day, the sun shines on his face, it feels warm, and the shadow of the person is also very long.
When I arrived at the uncle's house, I saw that the uncle and the others were ready and were about to go out.
A smile appeared on Gu Xin's face. He was very happy to continue his studies and have the opportunity to be a scholar.
Gu Zeyu went up to meet him and said, "Uncle, are you leaving now? I was just about to see you off?"
Seeing that Gu Zeyu cared so much about Gu Xin, the uncle also smiled in relief, but he felt that it would be fine for him to send Gu Xin off, so why bother to let his nephew follow him, so he said: "You can also send it if you need it, and Gu Xin is too. He's a 17-year-old man, if it wasn't his first time going to that private school, he wouldn't let me send him off."
Gu Xin was a little embarrassed to hear his father say this. He is a very independent person, and he feels that he is already grown up and does not need his father to follow the busy schedule.
Gu Xin smiled shyly, and said: "Cousin, it's fine for me and Father to go, you are busy these days, so you can rest at home, or you can go to chat with Amu and Brother Yu, they are also at home Boring."
Gu Zeyu then stopped talking, and said with a smile: "Then uncle, you go, I won't go, go to your house to talk to your auntie, and bring them some candies I bought the day before yesterday."
So he waved goodbye, opened the door and entered the uncle's house.
Looking around, it was still a familiar small yard, simple but not messy, very neat and tidy. The yard had traces of just sweeping, and the obvious scratches on the dirt were caused by the broom.
Food was also fed in the chicken coop and the duck coop, and the sounds one after another complemented each other, creating a lively scene with the smell of human fireworks.
After walking a few steps, Gu Zeyu called out, "Auntie, I'm Zeyu, and I'm coming to your house."
The eldest aunt heard it in the room, and quickly responded: "Zeyu, you go into the main room, Brother Yu and I are both here."
Gu Zeyu went into the main room and saw his aunt and brother Yu were doing needlework, the aunt was fixing the soles of shoes, and brother Yu was embroidering handkerchiefs.
He took out a bag of candy from his body, it was orange candy, and he took half a bag with him when he went out.
He said: "Auntie, Brother Yu, this is the orange candy I bought when I went to town, so I brought some for you, try to see if it suits your appetite."
Gu Zeyu handed it over, the eldest aunt took it with a smile, squeezed one and tasted it, and then handed the rest to Gu Yu, Gu Yu saw that it was orange candy, and said it was delicious and quite expensive , a pack costs a hundred cents.
But when he saw that his cousin, Gu Zeyu, handed it over, he was very curious. Men generally don’t like candy very much. Girls like to eat it.
Gu Yu asked, "Cousin, do you like sweet things? The last time I saw you buying pastries, this time it's orange candies? Why don't you look like you can eat them?"
Gu Yu always felt that his cousin Gu Zeyu was a real man, strong and majestic, but just standing there made people feel oppressed, he was not an ordinary person, and had an extraordinary aura.
It feels like my cousin likes everything a man would like, such as drinking, likes spicy food, and has a strong taste.
Don't like soft pastries and sweet candies.
Unexpectedly, Gu Zeyu replied to him like this: "I don't really like sweet things, I just eat them."
Gu Yu was puzzled, "Why buy it if you don't like it?"
Gu Zeyu replied: "I just bought it when I saw it, and I can give you a taste if I don't eat it." Cakes and candies are rarely bought by farmers, and Gu Zeyu bought them on a whim. It's unreasonable, he has troubled the uncle's family a lot in the past few days since he came back.
These two things are suitable for all ages, and they are loved by others. Gu Zeyu regards them as gifts.
Later, when I saw it, I would subconsciously buy some and take it home, because he had a good impression of Brother Cheng, and wanted to feed him. Seeing his satisfaction and joy in eating, I was very happy, just like eating honey.
Gu Zeyu unconsciously said what was in his heart, "I don't like to eat them, but I can give them to people who like them."
What Gu Zeyu said was a bit vague, but it was very fast. In the ears of the aunt and brother Yu, it was "you can eat it for people you like".
Both of them were surprised now, and the eldest aunt even asked: "Zeyu, do you have someone you like? Who is it? The eldest aunt will help you as a staff member."
Gu Zeyu looked around and said other things, "No, I just said that you can give candies to people who like them, for example, you can give them to Auntie and Brother Yu? I don't have any brothers I like."
In the eyes of the auntie, Gu Zeyu's flustered appearance must have someone he likes, otherwise why didn't he tell himself that he didn't have a brother he liked?I didn't even ask if it was my brother?
But Gu Zeyu didn't want to say that she, an elder, would not force him, but it's only been ten days since he came back, so how could he have a brother he likes, and he didn't usually see Gu Zeyu in contact with other brothers.
At this time, if the eldest aunt could think carefully, she would definitely be able to notice that Brother Cheng and Gu Zeyu get along the most, but he didn't think about it deeply, but thought that it was normal for a nephew to have someone he liked at the beginning of love.
Gu Zeyu didn't want to say that he had a crush on Brother Cheng. After all, all of this was unilaterally done by him. Brother Cheng didn't like him. The two of them counted and they had only met four or five times, and they had known each other for less than ten years. sky.
If I told my aunt and Brother Yu, my aunt would definitely want Gu Zeyu to propose marriage, but they haven't liked each other yet, so how could they settle down the major events of their lives.Brother Yu and Brother Cheng are good friends, if Brother Yu finds out, maybe he will secretly reveal it to Brother Cheng, that would be bad.
Jiaotang Team Dujia steams gifts for you. He just wants to get along for a while longer, and when the time is right, he will confess his love to him and see if Brother Cheng can accept his pursuit. If Brother Cheng also likes him, then he will definitely Marry him home as a wife, love him and love him, obey his wife's orders on all matters in the family, let him go east, never go west.
Gu Zeyu chatted with his aunt about other things, such as how to make pickles, and asked what vegetables can be grown in the backyard. Can we sow seeds now?
My aunt asked about these things, so I naturally taught them all. Pickles are usually pickled in winter, because the temperature is low in winter, and pickles can generally be preserved for several months and can be eaten until the beginning of spring.
However, pickles are generally not pickled in spring, and they must be eaten as soon as possible after pickling, and they can be stored for up to two weeks.
The aunt felt that Gu Zeyu hadn't grown any vegetables yet, and couldn't pickle them, so she simply took out a small jar from her own pickle jar and handed it to Gu Zeyu, saying: "Zeyu, you don't have any ingredients now, and it takes time to make pickles. Pickled, here, let’s eat the ones from my aunt’s house first, there are a lot of pickled ones this year.”
Gu Zeyu took it, thanked him, and said: "Next time I grow vegetables myself and harvest them, I will come to my aunt to learn how to pickle pickles."
