Chapter 250: Invite Old Yang to Live in the New House
She remembered that Wu Fangxiao laughed and said, "That guy Zhao Xi, I don't know what poem he heard from his old boss before. It said something about four corners and daytime, and seven layers can touch the sky. He thought it was amazing, saying that with four corners he could touch the sky, and he kept repeating these two sentences. Later, when he had almost forgotten everything else, he only remembered four corners and seven layers, and he insisted on using these two words when naming his child. I thought it sounded easy, so I didn't stop him."
At that time, Gu Qingqing didn't remember what she said, until one day she suddenly remembered a poem, one of the lines of which was: The four corners block the sun, and the seven floors touch the sky.
Gu Qingqing thought it might be here.
If we compare them in this way, Zhao Feng and Yang Xing paid more attention to naming their children. Their two children were named Zhao Danju and Zhao Lulin respectively.
The name comes from: There are red orange trees in the south of the Yangtze River, which remain green even in winter.
It just so happens that Yang Xing was born in Jiangnan. Wow, look at this couple.
Look at Zhao Xi again, wow!
She was lost in thought for only a moment, and then Gu Qingqing's eyes fell on the shepherd's purse she brought. This was the first green of spring!
"Use it to stir-fry with eggs later, then mix it with cold vegetables, and use the remaining ingredients to make egg soup."
Just as we figured out how to eat the shepherd's purse, Zhao Qin came with six eggs, acting as if she had made an appointment with Wu Fang.
Even Gu Qingqing had no time to stop them. She found a bowl and poured the two of them into it.
Yang Xing, who followed closely behind, brought half a salted chicken. Meat was precious to begin with, and Gu Qingqing agreed to treat them to a drink because they helped with the waterwheel. How could she accept anything from them?
Although Wen Wuyan was beaten because he became a successful student, successful students do not have to perform formalities, only successful students have to perform formalities.
Gu Qingqing made up her mind to let them take the things back when they left.
Even though the staple food at home was completely eaten up after eating all the food today, Gu Qingqing didn't care. She had been planning to go to the town to buy food recently.
That night, there was goose stewed in an iron pot, duck pot with bamboo shoots, bamboo shoots with smoked pork, diced meat stir-fried with garlic sprouts, meat slices and cabbage stewed with vermicelli, shepherd's purse and eggs, cold shepherd's purse, salted radish strips fried with chili, radish and diced meatballs, stir-fried lotus root, fried peanuts, etc.
There weren’t many types of dishes, but there was a lot of meat in large portions. Because the cooking time was late, the oil lamps were already lit in the house by the time we could start eating.
During this time, Wen Wuyan found some time and saw that there was no one in the kitchen, so he hurried in to find Gu Qingqing and whispered a few simple words to her.
"Sure, just tell me when you find a chance. By the way, how do you plan to tell Uncle Yang to live with us?" Gu Qingqing asked hurriedly when she saw Wen Wuyan was about to go out.
"Of course I invite you sincerely." Wen Wuyan replied.
"Bullshit!" Gu Qingqing cursed with a smile, and at the same time, the corners of her mouth unconsciously pouted slightly.
Seeing that Wen Wuyan didn't understand, if it was a normal day, Gu Qingqing would definitely take the opportunity to criticize him. But now it was rare that only their family was in the kitchen, and someone would come in soon. "Come here, I'll tell you what to say later."
After Gu Qingqing finished speaking, she saw Wen Wuyan coming over and immediately whispered her thoughts to him.
"They said they wanted to live in the mountains?" Wen Wuyan asked.
Gu Qingqing nodded. "Yang Xing told me about it once before, but it was still early, so I didn't rush to agree. Just when we came back from the mountain, you and Lao Yang were walking together, and she talked about it with me again. I thought about it and agreed to them."
"In that case, I'll do as Qingqing says. You go ahead and do your work. I'll be leaving now."
"Please call Daxin in." Gu Qingqing ordered him.
Since there would be one more person living in the house, Gu Qingqing felt that she should inform the children at home.
Daxin rushed in, "Aunt, you're looking for me."
"Daxin, Dahua, Erhua, come here." Gu Qingqing squatted down and called the three children over, and told them the hasty decision she and Wen Wuyan made.
"Mom, what do you want us to do?" Dahua asked somewhat puzzled.
"You don't have to do anything, just know about it."
"Aunt, I will go and clean up my room tonight and live with Grandpa Yang." Daxin said.
Gu Qingqing touched the sensible child's head and said with a smile, "Don't worry, let Grandpa Yang choose a room by himself and see where he wants to live. The purpose of telling you this is to let you know this."
Some of the children didn't quite understand "why they had to know" because in their eyes, whatever their parents and uncles and aunts said was the final word.
"Hey, why are you all crowded in the kitchen? What are you whispering about? People are waiting for you to have dinner outside." Wu Fang shouted after returning from delivering the dishes to the house.
"Hahaha, telling a secret!" Gu Qingqing smiled brightly.
In the main hall in the central courtyard, there is one table for men and one table for women and children.
The adults ate fine, especially the children of the Zhao family. They must have been taken care of by the adults at home before they came, and they couldn't eat like they hadn't.
So the children ate very restrainedly, but their eyes were fixed on the dishes on the table. It seemed that they could not eat too much with their mouths, so they tried to make up for the food with their eyes.
After three rounds of drinks, Gu Qingqing finally heard what Wen Wuyan was saying.
"You are all my relatives and friends, Wen Wuyan. My family is able to have what it has today. I would like to thank you all for your support in the past. Let's have another drink." Wen Wuyan raised the wine bowl.
"Haha, Wuyan, these are all earned by you and Qingqing yourselves. We didn't help at all." Wu Shan said happily.
"If we really talk about help, you have helped us brothers the most. We brothers all remember it in our hearts. Come on, one of you will go." Zhao Dong responded.
"Come on, let's have a bite." Several brothers surnamed Zhao echoed.
After finishing his first bowl, Wen Wuyan poured himself another bowl, then turned to Old Yang and said, "Uncle Yang, you have shaped me. I won't say much, as everyone is here today. Qingqing and I have no way to repay your kindness to our family, but now we need Uncle Yang's help with one thing."
Old Yang and Wen Wuyan touched the rim of their bowls together, letting his bowl lower slightly in the process. He took a sip of wine, smacked his lips, and said cheerfully, "Alright, what's the matter with gratitude? I've eaten a lot of food at your house. Now, is there anything else you want me to help you with?"
Wen Wuyan looked around, with an embarrassed and ashamed look on his face, "Uncle Yang, the chickens and ducklings we bought will arrive in a few days. Zhao Feng and Yang Xing are going to live in the mountains. I want to build a bamboo house there, but as you know, there are no bamboos on the mountain. I want to build another wooden house, but no one is free right now. Now you are the only one living in the cabin, do you think it's okay~..."
When Wen Wuyan said this, he burped loudly.
