New Life of Broken Cedar - C116
He didn’t have any land to work yet, so he ate some of the food given to him by the villagers. Sometimes, he would take some copper coins to exchange with the others, but the best one was still the person next door, Old Zhang.
“Thank you.” Gu Moyan opened the door and took the basket from Old Zhang’s hands, thanking him in a low voice. If Elder Zhang hadn’t seen his lips move, he would have thought Gu Moyan was silent.
“We’ve known each other for more than ten days, why are you still so shy?” With Old Zhang’s mental fortitude, Gu Mo Yan’s current state must be because he was shy, just like the boy at the side of the village. He walked to the entrance of the village and looked at the path, but didn’t know what he was looking at. Would it not be shy to argue with you and then run away?
“Uncle Zhang, I’m just shy. Do you want me to go in and have a seat? “Drink some tea.” Gu Moyan stepped aside to let Old Zhang in.
Elder Zhang waved his hand and said, “No, in a few days, my son will be coming back from the county. I want to prepare some dishes in advance so that he can have a taste of my father’s cooking skills.”
Men could also have children. Gu Moyan had already known this long ago at the palace. It was just that it was weird to hear the children call ‘father’ or ‘father’.
Old Zhang’s husband went early and left the two of them to depend on each other. His son was also very ambitious, going into the county to earn money. Although Old Zhang was already famous, his son didn’t come back for half a year, which made him feel that it was better to do things in the village.
“Alright.”
“Then Little Yan will come over in a few days. You know each other.” Old Zhang said with a smile and then left.
“I don’t …” Gu Moyan, who was left behind, opened her mouth and swallowed the words of rejection back into her stomach. Seriously, Old Zhang was just too good a person, so Gu Moyan didn’t know how to respond.
“Come, come, come, Little Yan. Sit over here. This is my son, Liu Shan.” When Old Zhang finished preparing the dishes, he saw Gu Moyan step into the doorway. She immediately wiped her hands on her clothes, pulled him to the table and introduced him to the people inside.
Gu Moyan raised her head and saw that they looked similar to Uncle Zhang. However, they were a little masculine. Gu Moyan smiled at him and sat on the stool.
Liu Shan, who was standing opposite him, was also giving him a lot of potions. Just as he saw his father’s passionate performance, he knew that his father was definitely not from his village. Otherwise, with his father’s temper, he would have brought him home to meet people.
Liu Shan didn’t think too much about it and said to Gu Moyan, “I’ll also call you Little Yan. I’m older than you, so you can also call me Brother Liu. Just treat this place as your own, don’t be shy.” When he came back, his father whispered about him for a while, saying that a young man in the next room was very shy and wanted him to be more friendly.
“Mm …” Good. “Thank you.” Gu Moyan was not able to call out for the time being, so her personality changed. He sat stiffly on the bench, clutching his pants tightly, like a alert little rabbit.
Liu Shan didn’t say anything after hearing his reply. He didn’t know what to say to the unsociable him, so the two of them sat in front of each other awkwardly.
“Liu Shan, look at what I’ve bought. There’s no store in the village in front of you. I’ve run quite a distance.” Then another crackling sound fell to the ground.
Why was there someone else? Uncle Zhang did not tell him. Gu Moyan became even more stiff and didn’t dare to look towards the door.
