After I Lost My Job, I Went Home To Farm - Chapter 80
The breeze was blowing lightly, and the branches and leaves were rustling.
With the sound of swaying branches and leaves, Song Huai asked cautiously, “Can I call you that?”
Song Huai actually wanted to call Gu Yinan by his nickname, but his upbringing taught him to respect girls more, and he would not cross the line without permission.
Gu Yinan’s hand holding the basket tightened. She could feel the cautiousness and respect in Song Huai’s tone. She nodded, “Yes.”
Song Huai got the answer and called out in his slightly hoarse voice, “Nannan.”
Gu Yinan’s ears were slightly hot. It was obvious that Grandma, Cousin, and the others called him that, but when he called him that, why did he think the two words were different?
Gu Yinan coughed lightly to cover up, and then hummed, “What?”
Song Huai let out a low laugh, feeling even more cheerful, “Can you lift it? I’ll help you.”
“No, I’m used to doing these kinds of work.” Gu Yinan took plums in one hand and chickens in the other, and strode towards the house.
The two returned home like this, and as soon as the courtyard door was opened, they saw grandma sitting under the pear tree, playing with her mobile phone.
Seeing them coming back, he put down his mobile phone and said to the two of them with a smile, “Is it hot? Xiao Song will sit under the tree and take a break.”
Song Huai said, “It’s not hot.”
“The sun is so strong outside, how can it not be hot.” Grandma Gu smiled and looked at the cherries in Song Huai’s hands, “Nannan, go wash some fruits to eat.”
Gu Yinan carried the plum and chicken towards the kitchen, “Okay.”
“I’ll help you.” Song Huai followed Gu Yinan into the kitchen, washed his hands, and then started to wash the cherries, “Is that so?”
“Add a little salt and soak it.” Although Gu Yinan’s vegetables and fruits are not sprayed with pesticides, there may be dust or insects crawling over them. Soaking them will make them cleaner.
Song Huai picked up one and looked at it, “It’s very clean.”
“Then soak it for a while.” Gu Yinan poured the salt into the basin, “Don’t worry, you can eat it in a few minutes.”
Song Huai: “I’m not greedy.”
“I know.” Gu Yinan handed the clean and transparent glass bowl to Song Huai, “Wait a while and put it here.”
“Okay.” Song Huai put the cherries in, and then washed the plums into it. His movements were meticulous and gentle, as if he was washing some delicacy.
Gu Yinan washed the herbs in the vegetable washing pool next to him.
The two of them were doing their own thing, not interfering with each other, looking at a different kind of warmth.
If Assistant An and the others were here, they would definitely sigh with emotion: I didn’t expect that the boss who was aloof and unapproachable could also become a home-suitable type.
After washing the fruit, Song Huai gave the fruit to Grandma Gu to eat, “Grandma eat it.”
“Xiao Song, you eat too.” Grandma Gu looked at the direction of the kitchen, “Why didn’t Nannan come out to eat?”
Song Huai sat on the chair, “Nannan is boiling water.”
As soon as Grandma Gu heard it, she knew that boiling water was about killing chickens, “Nannan, take a break and eat some fruit before making it.”
“I’ll be fine right away.” Gu Yinan neatly twisted the chicken’s neck, then drained the blood and threw it into the bucket. After the water boiled, he soaked it and started plucking.
Grandma Gu didn’t call Gu Yinan again, but just looked at Song Huai with a smile, “Our family Nannan is very good, right?”
Song Huai nodded: “Very good.”
“One of a kind good boy in a hundred.” Grandma Gu didn’t say anything more after finishing this sentence, but Song Huai understood it. He looked at Gu Yinan in the kitchen, and the smile in his eyes became a little thicker.
After Gu Yinan handled the chicken, he put it into the pot and boiled it, and then walked out of the yard.
Grandma Gu greeted Gu Yinan to sit down, “Eat the cherries, Xiao Song specially kept your cherries.”
Gu Yinan took one and put it in his mouth. After taking a bite, he turned to look at Song Huai, “Have you eaten?”
Song Huai hummed, “I ate.”
“Eat more.” The big cherries contained more spiritual energy than other fruits, so Gu Yinan asked Song Huai to eat more.
Song Huai did not delay, picked up one and put it in his mouth.
A few people sat for a while, and the village chief came over. He entered the door and said, “Aunt Gu, Madam Ma has already woken up. She was afraid that she would be locked in a mental hospital and couldn’t get out, so she recruited everything.”
“It was her young daughter who encouraged Mrs. Ma to charge her. Now she is going to lose money and her daughter doesn’t recognize anything. She didn’t even go to the hospital.”
The village chief sighed, “Mr. Ma’s son has already contacted him, saying that he was out of town for errands, and he didn’t turn on his mobile phone for a while, so he couldn’t get in touch. Now her son has contacted the family and asked her granddaughter to go to compensate.”
“A mobile phone costs more than 10,000 yuan, and it’s too expensive.” The village chief shook his head. This time, Mrs. Ma was stealing chickens and not losing rice, but she deserved it.
Grandma Gu snorted, “I don’t know how her brain grows? I just know how stupid she is. In the end, she had to have his son’s family come to take care of her aftermath for a long time. It’s because her daughter-in-law has little heart. The daughter-in-law kicked her out long ago.”
“The village chief, will she come out in the future?”
The village chief said: “The doctor said that there are mild symptoms, and it may take a few days to get some medicine and then come out.”
Song Huai, who was on the side, looked at Gu Yinan, leaned closer and whispered, “She can also be a little sicker.”
Gu Yinan understood and shook his head slightly, a society ruled by law, don’t mess around!
“That’s too cheap for her.” Grandma Gu didn’t notice the interaction between the two, and complained about Mrs. Ma, “She won’t come back to find trouble again, will she?”
Village head: “No, his son said he would let her live in the city in the future.”
Grandma Gu: “That’s about the same.”
Gu Yinan had no sympathy for what happened to Mrs. Ma, and asked the village chief, “Village chief, there are a lot of people scolding her on the Internet. Do you still want to build a scenic spot?”
The village chief smiled awkwardly, “No longer.”
Before, he thought about developing a scenic spot, collecting tickets, opening a small shop or restaurant to do business, but seeing the opposition of those tourists today, he knew that this would not work.
And Gu Yinan is also right, they don’t have a unique scenery here, and a flower alone can’t last long.
“I just want to make the villagers better, I don’t think about it that much.” In fact, most of the villagers have settled in other places to buy houses, and few are willing to return to the village. The village chief just wants to get himself a reward.
Gu Yinan didn’t expose him, “Village chief, although there are many people scolding her on the Internet, she has no opinion on our village. Maybe guests will come again in the future, and the villagers can continue to sell their own agricultural products. , or you can open a snack bar or a small shop, but it must be clean and hygienic.”
“I know this.” The village chief had a shadow in his heart when he saw the remarks being scolded today, “But it’s up to the villagers to decide what to do.”
After the village chief finished speaking, he left without a long stay.
Grandma Gu looked at the back of the village chief and sighed, “The original intention of the village chief is good.”
Gu Yinan was noncommittal, looked at the time, and prepared to get up: “Grandma, I’m going to see how the chicken soup is simmered like this?”
“No, I’ll just have a look. You can sit with Xiao Song for a while.” Grandma Gu trotted into the kitchen as she spoke, leaving some space for the two of them to get along.
Song Huai gratefully looked at Grandma Gu who trotted away, and looked sideways at Gu Yinan with a helpless face, “Grandma is in good health.”
“I’m very afraid that grandma will fall again.” Gu Yinan still has lingering fears about what happened last year, and old people can’t stand falls.
Song Huai asked, “Did grandma go for a re-examination?”
“I haven’t been there since I went last time.” Gu Yinan replied, “I originally planned to take my grandmother for another checkup this month, but she didn’t want to say anything.”
“Grandma’s hand looks completely healed. It doesn’t matter if you check it once in the next six months.” Song Huai paused, “I’ll persuade grandma at that time.”
“Okay.” Gu Yinan has no opinion. Maybe grandma won’t listen to her, but will listen to Song Huai?
The breeze is gentle, and the shadows of the trees are whirling.
Song Huai pursed his lips and asked softly, “Do you feel bored talking to me?”
Gu Yinan raised his eyes to meet his, and shook his head: “No.”
Song Huai said softly, “Jiang Shu said that my words are too little and too boring.”
“Is there?” Although Gu Yinan knew that Song Huai didn’t talk much like herself, she never thought he was too boring, but thought he was quite cute. “He’s quite good at talking.”
Song Huai’s delicate eyebrows were full of smiles: “It’s just when I’m facing you.”
Gu Yinan was stunned for a moment, and his ears turned red quietly, “I have such great ability?”
Song Huai said affirmatively, “Yes.”
When facing you, I always want to tell you all the nice things.
“That’s good.” Gu Yinan felt that her ears were getting hotter and hotter. Every day, she was about to suffer from heat stroke.
Song Huai looked at her reddish earlobes and hummed, “I think it’s pretty good too.”
Gu Yinan took a deep breath, got up and walked out of the yard: “I’ll go pick some vegetables that I can use later.”
Song Huai looked at Gu Yinan who was fleeing, but did not follow him immediately, but took his time, it was still a long time anyway.
The cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers and other vegetables in the vegetable field were all growing wildly. Gu Yinan stood in the middle of the rows of shelves. The green branches and leaves completely blocked her figure, which made her feel much more at ease.
Gu Yinan slumped his shoulders and sighed softly. Although the process was very pleasant, the opponent’s rank was too high, and she, who had only seen “Pig Run”, was a little bit overwhelmed.
In a trance, she had already picked so many cucumbers that she couldn’t hold it in her hands for a while.
“Nannan.” Song Huai handed the basket to her, “You forgot to take the basket.”
Gu Yinan put the cucumbers in the basket, “Thank you.”
“Why are you being so polite with me?” Song Huai looked at Gu Yinan who was picking vegetables, and the smile in his eyes never disappeared.
Sometimes liking is a very wonderful thing, inexplicably appears, and inexplicably begins to indulge in it.
Gu Yinan was a little uncomfortable, “Don’t keep staring at me?”
Song Huai said solemnly, “I can’t help it.”
“…” Gu Yinan didn’t know what to say for a while, but at this moment, the strong smell of chicken soup came from the yard, she quickly said: “It seems that grandma’s soup is ready, let’s go back.”
Gu Yinan stepped out of the vegetable field first, but after walking a few meters, she found that Song Huai had not followed. She turned back again and saw Song Huai was on the phone, “What’s the matter?”
“Okay, I see, I’ll go back soon.” Song Huai hung up the phone, walked to Gu Yinan, and said apologetically to her, “I have something to do, I have to go back.”
“Okay.” Gu Yinan nodded, “Go back and have a drink with grandma.”
Grandma Gu was disappointed when she heard that Song Huai was going to leave temporarily, but she knew that other people’s business matters were more important, “Xiao Song wait a minute, I’ll fill you with the chicken soup in a thermos, and you can take it back and drink it.”
Grandma Gu packed the chicken soup and handed it to Song Huai, who was already in the car. She looked at Gu Yinan who was opening the backyard door, and whispered, “Xiao Song, will you always be busy when you go back?”
“It’ll be fine after you’ve dealt with it.” Song Huai looked at Grandma Gu, what’s your order?
“That’s good, it will be Nannan’s birthday in a few days. Xiao Song will come over to help Nannan celebrate her birthday together.” On a business trip, I’m finally at home this year, and I want to give her a good birthday.”
Song Huai silently wrote down the days in his heart, “Okay.”
Hearing his agreement, Grandma Gu nodded with satisfaction: “Then it’s settled, you must come when the time comes.”
“I will definitely come.” Song Huai drove out and passed Gu Yinan, he said, “Contact me if you have anything.”
Gu Yinan nodded, “Be careful on the road.”
