Chapter 131 Little Goldfish
"Chen An is here? Why did he come suddenly? Mom, you keep an eye on this place first, I'll go out and take a look." Gu Qingqing said as she put down the dough in her hand, got up and left the kitchen.
While Erhua was talking, Wu Yi, riding a horse with Shen Chenan in his arms, had already arrived at the gate of the yard.
When Shen Chenan saw Gu Qingqing, he happily shouted on horseback, "Aunt, I'm here. You didn't go to town today, so I went to look for you and saw Dahua, not you."
Shen Chenan said as he slid off the horse.
Gu Qingqing caught Shen Chenan who rushed over and said with a smile, "Didn't I tell you before that we are going to build a new house at home?"
"But you were in town a few days ago." Shen Chenan looked up and asked.
"I wasn't too busy in the past few days. Tell me, why did you come here today? Is it because you couldn't see me in town? Why didn't Dahua come back with you?" Gu Qingqing asked the child.
When Gu Qingqing mentioned this, Shen Chenan's face immediately turned unhappy. Gu Qingqing noticed it and squatted down to look him in the eye. She wanted to rub his face with her hand, but then she realized that there was still flour on her hand. She could only touch his cheek with her wrist, "Hey, you were so happy just now. Why are you unhappy now that you just got home?"
"Aunt, I heard from my dad that we will be going back in half a month!" Shen Chenan said with a pout.
"Go back? Go back where?" Gu Qingqing didn't react at first. After she asked, she suddenly realized, is she going back to the border?
She looked at Wu Yi and asked with her mouth.
Sure enough, Wu Yi understood and nodded at her.
Gu Qingqing understood the situation, but teased Shen Chenan and said, "Chenan, I still have hawthorns at home. Can I give you candied haws? Didn't you say you haven't eaten the candied haws I made?"
When Shen Chenan heard that there were candied haws, he was shocked and smiled.
"Okay."
"Let's go and make candied haws."
Just as they were about to leave, Wu Yi reminded them, "Young Master, didn't you bring something for everyone? Do you want to take it down now?"
Wu Yi came on horseback, and behind him there was a stranger brother driving a carriage. After Wu Yi finished speaking, the carriage entered the yard. There were indeed a lot of things loaded on the carriage.
"Chen An, you also brought something for us? Thank you so much." Gu Qingqing didn't be polite with him, nor did she say no or anything like that. She thanked him directly.
"Aunt, I went to Shangyang County yesterday and saw a lot of food there. I bought whatever I liked. There were candy figurines for Dahua and Erhua, as well as dragon beard cakes and sesame candies. I also bought you a lot of preserved fruits. They are so sweet."
Following Shen Chenan's introduction, Wu Yi had already brought over two baskets. When he opened them, they contained the things he had described.
Then another strange man also helped to carry the things out of the car.
"There are also fried dough twists, crispy noodles, peanut candies, and toys." Shen Chenan only acts like a child when he is with Gu Qingqing and can show off his treasures.
Because Gu Qingqing would respond to him every time, she cherished and cared about him.
"Okay, okay, Chen An is so thoughtful. It's rare that you still think of us when you go out to play. We like the things you brought." But Gu Qingqing listened to what he said, and then saw that there was a big barrel in the car, and couldn't help asking puzzledly, "What's in that?"
Seeing that Gu Qingqing finally asked, Shen Chenan immediately pulled her to see, "Aunt, this is a pair of red fish that I asked them for. They are so beautiful, I want to give them to you."
"Fish?" Gu Qingqing was a little surprised. The fish he asked for from a wealthy family must be a species she had never seen before.
When Gu Qingqing pulled Shen Chenan closer to the car, they saw two little goldfish swimming happily in the wooden barrel.
"Hey, is this a little goldfish? So pretty."
How should I put it? Gu Qingqing has traveled through time for so long, and the natural scenery of this era is naturally amazing, and the natural wilderness is not very impressive.
How could she not be surprised when she saw two little goldfish this time that looked very similar to the previous ones.
She was surprised, and Wu Yi, who was standing opposite the car, was even more surprised. Although it was not the first time he had seen a dragon-eye goldfish, he knew that such a small thing would be worth no less than a hundred taels.
Half of the villagers cannot afford it at all.
Not to mention seeing it, I guess you have never even heard of the name of the Dragon Eye Goldfish.
The person in front of him directly called out Xiaoyu's name.
Seeing that Gu Qingqing liked it, Shen Chenan also happily shouted "right, right?"
When Gu Jia saw the guests coming outside the kitchen, if it were according to her previous personality, she would definitely not come out and would rather hide and not see the guests.
After a long ideological struggle, he stood at the kitchen door like a transparent man.
Shen Chenan was sharp-eyed. He smiled at her when he saw her. He said "Huh" first, and then asked, "Aunt, who is she?"
Gu Qingqing looked back and was thinking about how she should ask Shen Chenan to address her.
Then I heard Erhua say, "That's my grandma."
Then Gu Qingqing heard Shen Chenan call out "Grandma."
Gu Jia didn't know whose child this was, but when she saw that the other party also called her grandma, she quickly agreed.
Gu Qingqing next to her raised her eyebrows, but she was thinking that this name didn't seem bad.
"Mom, this is a kid I met in town. His name is Chen An. I have a special affinity with him. He came to visit our home today."
"Hey, ok, Chen An is doing well. You must have had a hard time coming here. There are freshly baked pancakes in the kitchen. Do you want some?" Gu Jia asked enthusiastically.
Shen Chenan was absolutely not polite and didn't shy away from strangers when he came to Gu Qingqing's place. When he heard that there was food in the kitchen, he immediately ran in.
Gu Qingqing saw Wen Wuyan coming over and hurriedly said to him, "Chen An is here and brought some snacks, as well as a pair of small goldfish. Look how pretty they are. Where should we keep them?"
Wen Wuyan, who came over, first greeted Wu Yi and the others, then after looking at the small fish, he made some preparations, and finally pointed to the water tank on the side of the mountain and said, "Why don't we keep it in the tank first, and then we can find a new place and scoop it over later."
"Okay, let's keep it in the tank." Gu Qingqing agreed. After she looked at the big bucket on the car, she turned to Wu Yi and said, "Could you please help us carry it over, Brother Wu?"
Wen Wuyan was left to take care of the rest.
Gu Qingqing handed the hawthorns that Gu Zhuangzhuang brought yesterday to Shen Chenan and Erhua to pick out. "Each of you can't pick more than one. You can only pick fifteen for yourself. Give the rest to me. I will make candied haws for you."
Whether the candied haws taste good or not is secondary; the important thing is for them to participate.
As long as they participate in it, even if it doesn’t taste good, it will taste good.
"Wow! Aunt, why did you make such big ones for us?" Shen Chenan asked while picking out the ones he liked.
Gu Qingqing was kneading the dough quickly at this time, and she didn't forget to reply to him, "You wish. There are only seven hawthorns in each candied haws. The extra hawthorns are for Dahua."
The children ate happily that day.
In the evening, Gu Qingqing cleaned the remaining hawthorns, removed the cores, added sugar and water, steamed them in a pot, made them into canned hawthorns, and stored them.
