Chapter 469 Gu Zhuangzhuang Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Gu Jia looked towards the east hall and said, "It happened a few days ago. Zhuangzhuang and I were working outside that day when we suddenly heard him screaming in the room. When we came in, we saw him lying on the ground. When we asked him, he said he wanted to go outside to take a look. Zhuangzhuang and I went to carry him and heard a snap. He almost fainted from the pain. Zhuangzhuang and I were also scared. When we put him on the kang, he suddenly said he could feel his legs. Zhuangzhuang and I carried him for a few steps. Since then, he can walk slowly on his own, but not fast."

Gu Qingqing's mouth twitched as she listened to this. What kind of shit luck did he have? He got well after just one fall.

Seeing that her daughter didn't say anything, Gu Jia thought that she was still upset. She sighed and said soothingly, "He didn't do well in the past. He has indeed changed a lot in this year. Let the past be the past. Don't hold it in your heart."

Gu Qingqing smiled nonchalantly, "It's been so long, I've forgotten some of it. As long as he treats you well, I'll be relieved."

Gu Jia heard her daughter say this, and a tolerant smile appeared on her face. "He doesn't dare to do it anymore. I still remember the way he looked at me before, it was very fierce. Now he looks at me with a little cautious flattery. He also realized that he did not do well before, and he said nice things to me about this matter, and his words were also full of apologies."

Gu Qingqing nodded in understanding.

Gu Jia was looking at the quilt covers and clothing materials she brought. When she saw a piece of cloth, she almost blurted out, "I remember you just said that Zhuangzhuang said he also had cloth, which was kept by Xiaocao, and he said he would bring it back after it was finished. Why did he bring another piece back?"

Gu Qingqing looked at the dark blue cloth in her hand and tilted her head towards the east hall. "It's for him."

Gu Jia clapped her daughter's hands excitedly. Although she didn't say anything, at this moment Gu Qingqing could feel her kindness towards Gu Daquan, which made her very happy.

At this moment, Wenrou ran in with two pieces of peach cake in her hands, and her clear voice rang out in the room, "Mom, grandma will give you some peach cake."

Gu Qingqing didn't bring any snacks when she came today. Now she looked at the peach cake in Wenrou's hand and asked, "Where did you get the peach cake?"

"My grandfather gave them to me. Brother Daxin and elder sister both have them. My grandfather asked me to bring these two pieces in." Wenrou said as she skipped to Gu Qingqing and handed the peach cake in her hand to her mother and grandmother. After they took them, she ran out in a hurry again, not knowing what fun there was in the yard.

Gu Jia looked at the peach cake in her hand and smiled, "This is what Xiaocao brought back during the last autumn harvest. I kept it so that Zhuangzhuang could eat one piece every few days. He knew where it was and never touched it. If it was in the past, he would have eaten it all in a day."

Gu Qingqing had often heard her mother praise Gu Daquan's kindness, and she nodded in agreement. When Gu Jia had almost finished speaking, Gu Qingqing told her what had happened at home yesterday.

"Amitabha, Amitabha. God bless you and let your family show up in front of the emperor. You will be a prominent family in the future." Gu Jia excitedly clasped her hands together and bowed in one direction.

"It's not as serious as you say. We should just do what we have to do. My family was quite happy yesterday, and it seems that everything is fine after a good night's sleep." Gu Qingqing said.

"Nonsense, you have to be respectful. Do you remember when you were a kid, there was a family in the village where the daughter of my grandmother's second uncle married. Because they saved someone, the Xinzhou government gave them a plaque. When people entered their village, they would go around just to take a look. Theirs was given by the Xinzhou government, and so many people went to see it. Yours was given by the current emperor, so it must be higher than his, right?"

Gu Jia clasped her hands together and muttered, "God, you have given me two hundred acres of land. How are you going to plant all that land when Wuyan is not at home? Why don't you take Zhuangzhuang over there today and let him help weed and turn the land. We can't delay the planting of winter wheat."

When Gu Jiashi said this, she wanted to go to the yard and call Gu Zhuangzhuang, but was stopped by Gu Qingqing, "Mom, you don't have to worry about us. Your son-in-law and I will find a way. It just so happens that Zhao Dong and his family have also bought a homestead next to our house. They will settle down in Niutoushan Village in the future. They don't have land, so we can rent part of the land to them. For the rest, we can go to the pawnshop and buy a few people back. At least we won't let the land go to waste."

"Ah! Zhao Dong and his men have settled in your village? They are all good people, help them if you can."

"Well, there is one more thing. Zhao Dong intends to bring Shengxi and Zhao Bei together. This matter was mentioned yesterday. I told Xiaocao yesterday. I guess she hasn't told Shengxi yet. If they can succeed, it will be a happy event." After Gu Qingqing finished speaking, she immediately said, "Don't let it slip in front of Shengxi later. Let Xiaocao tell it when you go back."

Gu Jia nodded, "I know my limits."

The mother and daughter talked in the room for a while, and soon Wenrou ran in again, making a hissing sound, "Mother, it's hot!"

This time she held several sycamore tree leaves in her hands, with two fragrant roasted sweet potatoes on the leaves.

Gu Qingqing and Gu Jia heard the noise and hurriedly stood up to take the things in her hand.

"Let go, don't get burned."

Gu Qingqing took the thing from her hand and saw Wenrou jumping on the spot and touching her earlobes with both hands.

"Mom, please eat quickly. The sweet potatoes roasted by my uncle are so fragrant and sweet, and the key is that they are not burnt yet." Wenrou said, and ran out again.

There was a faint smell of wood ash in Gu Qingqing's nose, and more of the unique burnt aroma of roasted sweet potatoes. At the same time, the sweet potato skin with a little wood ash on the green leaves had an attractive color.

"Mom, here's one for you." Gu Qingqing said as she handed one to Gu Jia.

Gu Jia didn't answer, she smiled with a feeling of being proud, "You eat, he often roasts sweet potatoes at home, and I eat a lot of them. Oh, time flies, in the past, the family would sell the grain immediately after harvesting it, and Zhuangzhuang would eat very little. Now Xiaocao follows you, and earns more every month than we have in several years, and the family doesn't have to worry about selling the grain, and Zhuangzhuang is thinking of ways to eat."

When Gu Jia said this, her eyes fell on the roasted sweet potato in Gu Qingqing's hand. "Don't be fooled by the small amount of wood ash on the skin. He is very skilled in cooking it. The inside is soft, tender and sweet."

Gu Qingqing stared at the roasted sweet potato in her hand with a frown on her face. She was not in a hurry to eat it. After putting another roasted sweet potato on the table, she put the whole sweet potato in the palm of her hand to feel it with her fingers, and then gently broke it into two pieces.

With just one glance, she knew that the sweet potato skin and flesh had been perfectly separated. She pinched the connection at the top with a little force, then made a pouring gesture with her hand, and saw the sweet potato fall from the sweet potato skin into the palm of her other hand.

Gu Qingqing let out a hissing sound, and her frown instantly relaxed as she burst into laughter. "I didn't expect that Zhuangzhuang loves to eat, and he can bake sweet potatoes so well."

"It's okay, but you can't put it in your palm. It's so hot! Hurry, put it in the bowl." Gu Jia took the bowl of water on the table, drank all the water in it in one gulp, and then put the sweet potato in her palm into the bowl.

Gu Qingqing didn’t care about these things at all at this moment. She didn’t know whether roasted sweet potatoes and roasted duck had anything in common.

But Gu Zhuangzhuang loves to eat it. Since he can roast sweet potatoes so well, maybe he can roast a duck?

Thinking of this, she couldn't stay in the room anymore, and said hurriedly to Gu Jia, "Mom, I'm going out to see Zhuangzhuang," and walked out of the room quickly.
