Chapter 200 Welcome back
Dumplings on the bus and noodles on the bus.
Looking at Liu Caixia busying herself with dough and preparing to roll noodles, Gu Mingyue couldn't help but think of a joke she had seen before.
It's about the differences between the north and the south.
People in the south have some free time today, so they make dumplings and roll some noodles to eat.
People in the north don't have time today, so they just make a few dumplings and roll some noodles to eat.
In modern times, Gu Mingyue usually buys ready-made dumpling wrappers or hand-cut noodles outside.
Since coming to this era, she has adapted to the local customs and slowly learned how to knead dough by herself.
Although her skills are not as quick and efficient as those of my sister-in-law, she can be considered a skilled worker.
Not to mention, she is used to eating food she makes herself, so she really feels uncomfortable eating ready-made food outside.
As a result, the noodles stored in the space have hardly been moved, thinking that one day he might be able to go to the town to resell them. Anyway, the famine is over, and some food can be sold out to clear out the inventory.
At that time, I will stock it with some natural vegetables, eggs, meat, etc.
In this way, you don’t have to worry about eating bad food or additives or pesticide residues.
Alas, she even admired herself, how could she be so smart... While Gu Mingyue was fantasizing secretly, her sister-in-law came in with a big bowl of noodles.
Everyone in the room swallowed unconsciously.
Gu Mingyue asked without hesitation, "Sister-in-law, the noodles you rolled look delicious. I'm hungry just by looking at them. Is there any more in the pot? I want to eat some too."
Liu Caixia guessed that the girl must be greedy, "I knew you couldn't resist. I rolled more of it specially, wait a minute, I will serve it all together, whoever of you is hungry can have some."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Mingwei began to move the table and set up the dishes.
Gu Mingyue's eyes widened and she accused him, "Okay, big brother, are you just waiting for me to play forward for you, and then you pick up the ready-made ones."
Brother Gu joked with her, "Haha, who made you so greedy that everyone knows about it..."
Finally, the whole family got together late at night for a midnight snack.
As he ate and talked with them, Liang Shaoling seemed to become more energetic and no longer as haggard as when he first entered the house.
Even though Gu Mingyue was shouting happily, she actually didn't eat much. She didn't even eat as much as Xiao Shitou.
There was still quite a bit left in the basin, so Liu Caixia poured the bottom directly into Liang Shaoling's bowl, saying as she poured, "This is Fugen, eat it all, and you will live a happy and harmonious life in the future. For us ordinary people, living a good life is more important than anything else. Your parents will feel relieved to see that you are doing well."
Liang Shaoling's eyes were red for a moment, and he took it with both hands and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Seeing that everyone was a little sad, Gu Mingyue didn't like this atmosphere very much, and quickly interrupted, "This reminds me of the joke that Sixth Brother and his friends made when they came back. Brother Liang, you don't know, they went to Mingzhu and learned some local dialect, and it was weird. They showed off to the villagers. It was supposed to be "Xie Xi Nong", but in Mingzhu, the word "Xie" is pronounced as "xia", and the people in our village thought they were going to eat shrimp..."
When everyone thought of this, they couldn't help but laugh out loud, and began to talk about the embarrassing things that happened to them at the beginning, and the atmosphere became relaxed.
That night, Liang Shaoling had the most sound sleep he had had in nearly half a year. At dawn, he woke up feeling refreshed.
"Why did you get up so early? Didn't you sleep well?" Liu Caixia, who got up early to cook, asked with concern.
Liang Shaoling smiled innocently and said, "No, I slept very well. I slept until dawn and woke up naturally. Sister-in-law, I want to go home and clean up."
"It's time to go back and take a look, but not now. Leave after dinner. You don't have anything there, and the stove will be cold and you won't be able to cook. You'll eat at home these days, and you're not allowed to refuse, otherwise don't blame me for picking on you."
Liang Shaoling said embarrassedly, "Excuse me, sister-in-law, let me help you chop wood."
Liu Caixia stopped him and said, "No need. The second brother does carpentry work every day and has a lot of leftovers. It's enough. Come here and sit by the fire. It's a good opportunity for you to chat with me."
When the person approached, she continued to nag, "You may not know, but our village has been very lively recently. We just opened a handicraft workshop and made a lot of money. Your second sister-in-law and I usually go there to work. By the way, do you know who is the person in charge? It's Fenglai. You don't usually notice it, but he is very decisive in doing things..."
She was muttering to herself, not noticing that Liang Shaoling's body stiffened for a moment and his expression became unnatural when he heard the familiar name.
Perhaps he thought of something, he could no longer sit still, and stood up suddenly, scaring Liu Caixia, "What's the matter?"
"Sister-in-law, I remembered something and went out for a while. I'll be back soon." After saying that, Liang Shaoling strode out.
Liu Caixia was confused, then she came to her senses and muttered to herself, "Are you in a hurry to go to the toilet?"
I thought I had guessed the answer, but I didn't pay any attention to it and continued chopping vegetables and cooking.
Liang Shaoling ran to Bai Fenglai's house in one breath, stood at the door and looked inside.
He rushed over in a rush, and the cold wind sobered him up a little. He hesitated again. What was he going to do? What could he do?
Bai Fenglai, who also got up early, almost screamed out in surprise when he opened the door and saw the figure outside. When he saw who it was, he was stunned.
The two of them stared at each other, and Liang Shaoling spoke first, "I...I'm back."
Gu Mingyue had sharp eyes and had already noticed Bai Fenglai's attitude.
Maybe there is not a very deep relationship between the two, but there is definitely some affection or ambiguity.
She was not sure whether they could be together in the future. It was okay to go their separate ways because of dislike or incompatibility, but she did not want to see the two of them miss each other because of misunderstanding.
From time to time, Gu Mingyue would secretly tell Bai Feng some news about the other party.
Therefore, Bai Fenglai was surprised and expectant about the person who suddenly appeared, but he did not complain.
After spending some time together, she thought she had a good understanding of the man in front of her. Although he was not very confident, he was at least calm and composed.
Now, the sincerity in his eyes that she loved before was replaced by vicissitudes, and there was a hint of uneasiness in his expression.
The feeling of heartache made Bai Fenglai realize that she liked the man in front of her. Even though she had been numbing herself with work during this period, she had to admit that she had already been attracted to him.
However, before making a decision, she asked, "Are you still leaving now that you're back?"
"I'm not leaving. Gujia Village is my home."
Bai Fenglai then raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Really? I think so too. Welcome back, Liang Shaoling."
When Gu Mingyue saw the two again two days later, she found that their relationship had become much closer.
Surprised, "When did you two get together behind my back?"
Bai Fenglai hit her in a scolding tone, "What nonsense are you talking about?" Then he told her the truth without hiding anything, "We are still in the stage of understanding each other, and we can't predict what will happen in the future."
After saying that, she snorted proudly and walked away.
Gu Mingyue shouted at her back, "Are you trying to fool me or yourself?!"
She looked at Liang Shaoling and asked, "What do you think?"
The latter didn't want to offend anyone, nor could he afford to offend anyone, so he fled decisively. "Old Six seems to have something urgent to talk to me about. I have to go check it out. I'm leaving first."
Gu Mingyue also snorted, as if no one could do that...
