“I’m not too good at it, but I’ve studied for a few years.
“However, after 1 pa.s.sed the exam, my family was too poor, so I changed to practicing martial arts and became an armed bodyguard.”
“No wonder you could speak your words clearly. Then it’s settled. I’ll change my clothes, and we’ll set off.” After Tian Jingzhong finished speaking, he turned and returned to his inner room.
The village chief turned his head. “Congratulations, Brother Hu. Our two villages are quite close to each other, so we’ll have to look out for each other in the future.”
“I don’t deserve to be called ‘brother’; I’ll call you Uncle Qian. Please take care of me in the future, Uncle Qian.”
“Haha, don’t mind if I accept being your elder, then. If you need any help in the future, don’t hesitate to ask. I’ll definitely help if I can.”
At this time, Tian Jingzhong changed into clean clothes and came out. The few of them exchanged a few polite words and then parted ways.
Early the next morning, Hu Chun and the others got busy. A group of strong laborers took their hatchets and began to clear the barren land.
The village layout was formed into an L-shape, almost entirely wrapping the rose garden.
After the weeds were cleared out, it was time to dig a well.
The elderly went to town to find a cloth shop and bought some cloth to make cotton-padded clothes for the winter.
At the same time, the news that Hu Chun had become the village chief as a young man had gradually spread in the village.
Just as Zhou Ying was about to have dinner that night, Father Gu came in looking disheveled. His face appeared to have been scratched several times.
Gu Chengrui was stunned for a moment. “You’re…”
“Please treat my wound first.” Father Gu requested in embarra.s.sment.
“Sit down and wait for a moment.” Gu Chengrui didn’t ask further.
But when he turned around, he almost laughed out loud.
To be honest, even when their family was escorted back here, Father Gu had never been in such a sorry state, even when his pride was wounded. Gu Chengrui never thought his father would be this badly scratched one day.
Without even thinking, he knew it was most likely Mrs. Liu’s doing, but he didn’t know why.
At the same time, he was secretly smirking. In the past, Father Gu always treasured her and her kids. He even made Gu Chengrui and Zhou Ying leave the family with nothing but the clothes on their backs to please Mrs. Liu. He was getting his retribution, and he deserved it.
Zhou Ying just lightly greeted him before returning to the kitchen. She put away the steamed seaba.s.s she had prepared and made a small pot of cooked pork with cabbage and vermicelli. She served them with a plate of sweet and sour radish, three salted duck eggs, and six black steamed buns.
When she returned to the dining room, Gu Chengrui had already treated his wound. Zhou Ying placed the dishes on the table and said, “Father, sit down, and let’s have a meal.”
“Yes, yes, do take a seat and eat with us.” Gu Chengrui nodded and even brought him a stool.
Father Gu wanted to refuse at first. After all, no family is well-off these days.
But thinking of the crazy Mrs. Liu and smelling the lovely food before him, he finally nodded. “Ah, don’t mind if I do.”
He picked up his chopsticks and found some vermicelli inside. He asked, “Is this vermicelli? It doesn’t look like it.”
“This is vermicelli but made with white potato flour. It has a different flavor. Try it.” Gu Chengrui said.
Father Gu’s interest was piqued when he heard it was made from white sweet potatoes.
To be honest, he was getting tired of eating potatoes every day. It would be best if he could have a change of flavor.
He picked up some vermicelli with his chopsticks and ate it. He nodded and said, “Not bad, not bad at all. It’s bouncy and soft and more delicious than regular vermicelli.
“When it’s soaked in meat juice, it doesn’t taste inferior to actual meat.”
“If you like it, eat more. There’s such a big pot. There are steamed buns over here if you think it’s too salty.” Gu Chengrui handed him a black steamed bun after that.
“Oh, you guys go ahead and eat too. Don’t mind me. I won’t hesitate to try them.” After Father Gu finished speaking, he lowered his head and started eating..
