New Life of Broken Cedar - C117
“Ai ai!” “Look at how muddle-headed I am.” Old Zhang came in from outside with a bowl, placed it on the table, patted his head, and said to Gu Moyan, “This, my daughter-in-law, Han An, will be attending next month’s eighth day.”
When Old Zhang said this, his face was full of joy. Even Gu Moyan was affected, and he felt happy for Elder Zhang.
“You must come when the time comes.” Old Zhang sat on the stool and began to move her chopsticks. “Come, come, come. Eat quickly.”
The steaming hot dishes were all dishes that Old Zhang had worked hard for the whole morning. Even though they were common vegetables grown in the fields, they still felt especially good.
When everyone had arrived, they started to eat.
After Han An finished chewing, he saw that Gu Moyan was only eating, so he said to him, “Little Yan, don’t just eat, eat. When we were with Liushan in the past, I heard that he had some skills in cooking. “I didn’t think I’d get lucky today. Eat this.” As he spoke, he casually picked up a piece of Red Braised Meat in Gu Moyan’s bowl.
Gu Moyan almost buried her face in the bowl when she heard Han An’s words. Only then did she raise her head. She felt a little uncomfortable being called such by her peers. It was also his first time eating at Old Zhang’s house, but why did he let it go? So envious.
Gu Moyan picked up the chopsticks and picked them up before stuffing them into her mouth. The Red Braised Meat was plump but not greasy. It was really alright as it was delicious. Ye Zichen smiled at Han An. “Thank you.”
“Why are you being so courteous? Old Zhang’s neighbor will be my neighbor from now on. However, Xiao Yan, you look so pretty when you smile. You should smile more.” Han Anping smiled at him. Gu Moyan looked on, her smile like the blossoming of osmanthus flowers.
“Mhmm …” With a mouthful of food in his mouth, Old Zhang also nodded in agreement. Xiao Yan was just too shy. He should smile more. Those eyes were the purest and prettiest thing he had ever seen in his life. Especially when he started to laugh, he didn’t know how to describe it, so he read very little.
Liu Shan saw all of this from the side. His father hadn’t changed after all these years. Fortunately, Han An didn’t despise his hometown for being poor. Liu Shan looked at Han An with a doting smile. He raised his hand to wipe off the vegetable juice on Han An’s mouth and said, “Eat slower.”
At the side, Elder Zhang made a fuss and clicked his tongue twice. He could not bear to see his son’s way of doing things, so he smiled and said, “There’s still a child here! “Both of you, hold back a little.”
Gu Moyan blushed. Because her mouth was stuffed with food, she could only shake her head. After the food was finished, she said, “I’m fine. Big Brother Liu and Han An are really close.” He was also very envious.
When everyone was full, they cleaned up the dishes. Gu Moyan had been resting on her chair for a while, but she didn’t expect herself to burp, causing him to feel truly embarrassed. Facing Liu Shan’s slightly mischievous eyes, he covered his face and quickly walked to the door. He hurriedly said, “Uncle Zhang, I’ll be leaving first.”
After Gu Moyan walked out of the door, he heard Old Zhang’s voice behind him, “You must remember to come on the eighth day of the next month.” If you don’t come, I’ll come and help you. ”
It was simply a tone without any discussion, but Gu Moyan’s heart was warm. This feeling had never existed in his previous life. He had tasted the feeling of caring, but he was also afraid … He was afraid that the emperors in the imperial city would come looking for him.
Gu Mo Yan returned to his wooden house. There were only a few days left in this month. If it was the eighth of the next month, he would quickly prepare a congratulatory gift.
