Chapter 116: Sweet Potatoes

I originally wanted to see what the ancient matchmaker looked like, and whether it was the same as written in TV series or books. It should have been wearing a flower on his head, a big red dress, and a big black fur on the corner of his mouth.

But if you think about it, you'll have a good figure and it's impossible to marry a missing wife. The sister of the second prince a few days ago sounds like there should be a story with her brother and ask him to give him a betrothal gift for his brother in the future. Gu Xin is not guilty at all when doing such a thing.

Just throw this matchmaker out and forget it. Chu Yi should not be a person who doesn’t know how to behave. He must be the matchmaker who said something he shouldn’t say. To be honest, Gu Xin really doesn’t have a good impression of the matchmaker.

However, matchmakers are indispensable in this era.

"Eleventh is about to have dinner. You and your father will come back from the village with a fork." Gu Xin said to Eleven. Now Eleven is more familiar with Gu Xin in the village.

After washing up, Gu Xin went to have a meal, and Sheng'er was still sitting next to Hongyan. Gu Xin felt that this child was picked up by Hongyan.

Heizi's face was gloomy and he didn't say anything. Gu Xinniang and Gu De glanced at Gu Xin, as if they had something to say, which made Gu Xin inexplicable.

After dinner, all those who should go to school went to school. When Eleventh, Gu Xin looked at Hongyan and said, "Brother, I picked up Sheng'er in the county. It's not your confidante, you gave birth to you. From the appearance, you look quite similar, Sheng'er is so attached to you."

Gu Xin's words made Hongyan stunned. She remembered that gentle woman like water. She hadn't figured out what happened that night until now, and it took only three or four years to count it.

"I can't tell you!" Gu Xin looked at Hongyan with a smile and said.

"No, go and see your fiancé. Someone came to propose marriage to you early in the morning and marry you as a concubine. Chu Yi threw it out." Hongyan looked at Gu Xin and said,

"Who likes to be a concubine so much?" Concubine is the most annoying word Gu Xin hates.

"Go and ask your mother," said Hongyan's fox-like eyes with a smile. No matter how she looks, she seems to be gloating.

Gu Xin turned around and left the main hall, and suddenly ten people jumped in from outside the wall. The clothes were still on their bodies, as if they were caught by some animal. Gu Xin was shocked. The person who came in saluted Gu Xin and said, "See Miss."

"You are from the Chiyan Sect." Gu Xin took a step back and said.

"See the Sect Master" said a few people saluting to the walking beauty.

"Get up!" Hongyan walked out of the house and said, not knowing when she put on the mask.

"Brother, please, we have a door, let them go next time." Gu Xin said to her mother and said, "It's great to have martial arts skills."

"Let's go next time." Hongyan said to the people in the yard.

"It's not that we don't walk through the door, but that there is a cat at the door that won't let us in. It's because we're caught by it." A twenty-year-old man said.

The cat, the guard cat in Gu Xin's mouth, the child named Eleven picked up a tiger-like animal on the mountain, but it was neither a tiger nor a cat, and it had a strong attack power. Gu De said that there was a weasel in the yard, and it had never appeared since this thing came. Hongyan went to see the guard cat, but she didn't see any special place. She didn't even look at him when she came to see it. She seemed to know that he was from this family. The cat followed Sheng'er every day. When Sheng'er left, she lay at the door and rarely attacked people.

Hongyan looked at these people and said, "Li Chen, you guys messed with it."

"No, no, we said this cat is small, and it wouldn't be enough for a meal," Li Chen said.

"Haha, this girl has become a sperm after raising a cat. Take care of her mouth in the future." Hongyan said

"It's the sect leader" Li Chen felt inexplicably, thinking to himself whether a cat can still understand human words.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Gu Xin came to her mother's room and said

"Mom makes a piece of clothes for your brother, but he doesn't take the clothes." Gu Xinniang said with a piece of green cloth.

"Mom, the master said you can't do needlework in the past six months. I'll do it for my brother in a few days." Gu Xin said with the fabric in Gu Xin's hand.

"You do it, Xin'er, do you believe this?" Gu Xin said, looking at Gu Xin and said

"That mother! I'm going to get sweet potatoes. Don't worry, I will definitely make them for my brother. I'll take away the fabric. Then you supervise me to make it." Gu Xin took the fabric on the kang guiltily and said, "

When I went out, I remembered that she was here to ask the matchmaker. Forget it, please stop asking, let’s go first.

He took the fabric back to his house and looked at the color of the fabric. Gu Xin felt that this color was not suitable for Hongyan, and it was quite suitable for Heizi. One day, I would buy a red one for Hongyan!

Gu Xin left the house and happened to have Gude borrowed something back. Because he was rushing the bus, there were more than ten forks and baskets on the bus when he came back.

Gu Xin led people to the wasteland to build sweet potatoes, and when he arrived in the field, Gu Xin demonstrated how to dig sweet potatoes. He asked everyone to pull out the sweet potato seedlings first and then start digging.

The people from Chiyan Sect went down with one fork and directly forked the sweet potato in half.

Gu Xin knew that they couldn't do it, so he could only teach them one by one.

At noon, he finally dug out a truck of sweet potatoes and came back. Half of the sweet potatoes had fork eyes. Gu Xin glared at Hongyan fiercely. Hongyan blinked innocently, saying that he did not do it on purpose, because most of the sweet potatoes with eyes were dug by Hongyan.

"Brother, you and dad will drive the car home, Zhao Chong and Li Ming, you guys will go too." Gu Xin said that these people couldn't be dug up. Gu De was old, so he asked him to go back and take a break.

"I know, girl," said Zhao Chong.

When Gu De and the others left, Gu Xin and the others started digging again. After a while, Hongyan came back and there was a food box on the car. It was too inconvenient to walk back and forth. Gu Xin asked Alan and the others to prepare the food and take it to the field to eat.

After dinner, I started working again because the men's clothing that Gu Xin wore was not like men, but it was more convenient to do work than women's clothing.

Because I became familiar with it, I worked much faster. At night, one-third of the sweet potatoes in the field were dug out. Gu Xin was still very satisfied with this result.

However, Gu Xin felt that they were tired and didn't want to move. It was probably more tiring than they killed people, so the farmers contributed the most and earned the least.

When he returned home, Gu Xinniang and Alan made more than ten dishes and placed five tables. Chi Yan's door was polite and did not dare to serve the table for dinner. Later, when Hongyan spoke, she sat down and ate.

Gu Xin didn't know how Hongyan told Gude, but she was certainly not telling the truth.

After eating, Gu Xin picked out the eye-catching sweet potatoes, cage them with a pile of fire, and started roasting sweet potatoes. The roasted sweet potatoes were given to Hongyan first. Hongyan looked at the dark sweet potatoes and said, "Brother Xin'er is full, I'll eat them later."

"I'm not full yet, I'll eat this first," Heizi took the place and said

Heizi took the sweet potato and sat beside him and started eating. He also picked up one and started eating. He also started eating soft and sweet one after eating one. After eating one after another, he started eating.

"Uncle's sweet potato is delicious, why don't you eat it? Grandma has roasted it for us several times." Sheng'er said

Because five fires were caged, sweet potatoes were roasted. The people from Chiyan Gate looked at the delicious food of Eleven and Heizi, and they all went to get them to eat.

I didn't stop eating. Some people thought that they shouldn't eat so much at night, but now the stomach is small.

Hongyan also picked up one and ate it. It turned out to be delicious. The sweet potato that my sister didn't pick up just now now feels that she has made a big mistake.

Sure enough, when Hongyan went to get the second sweet potato, Gu Xin stopped him and said, "Brother, aren't you full? It's not good to eat too much at night."

"That sister brother is hungry again now, please let me eat one," said Hongyan.

"No" Gu Xin refused, which was called neatness.

Hongyan knew that she had offended her sister, so she touched her nose and sat aside and watched others eat.

"What is the delicious food for my heart girl?" Xu Zhenyu said in the gate and said

"Doctor Xu's nose is really good. Roasted sweet potatoes, come and eat them together," Gu Xin said.

The sweet potato Gude sent some to Xu Zhenyu last time because he was separated from the Gu Xin family by a wall. He must know the fragrance of roasted sweet potatoes here. On the other side of the wall, he must have known that this person came to the sweet potatoes.

If you say that Xu Zhenyu is also amazing, he lives alone, and has his own food, clothing, housing and transportation. He cooks very deliciously. Once Sheng'er went to eat and said, "You said that he is such a great imperial physician, so why do you do when you go to their remote villages to be a rural doctor? It's amazing if you don't even take someone to serve him."

"Mother Sheng'er is full, she's back and rested." Sheng'er said

"Okay, Sheng'er, go!" Gu Xin looked at Sheng'er and said,

"Mom, Sheng'er is gone!" Sheng'er said and walked back.

"Brother, don't go back and rest for a while," Gu Xin said to Hongyan and looked at him and said.

"Brother is a little tired, I'm back." Hongyan said and left with anger.

Looking at Hongyan's back, Gu Xin felt that her son was in vain. She really thought she didn't see the two sweet potatoes he was secretly hiding.

"What's your girl talking? Call Uncle Xu in the future, don't treat Uncle who is neither big nor small." Xu Zhenyu sat down and picked up a sweet potato and said, "

"I know Uncle Xu" Gu Xin said

"Girl, can you tell Uncle Xu how you lost weight?" Xu Zhenyu said to Gu Xin and looked at him.

"Uncle Xu, I am a master of the miracle doctor Shen Yi. You said that it is not easy for the miracle doctor's apprentice to lose weight." Gu Xin said

"Girl, you really learned from a miracle doctor. I don't know where the miracle doctor lives now." Xu Zhenyu said. These days, I only heard people in the village say that Gu Xin had a miracle doctor, but I didn't expect it to be true.

"I don't know much about Uncle Xu. When the master left, I was not at home. I might have returned to the God Doctor Valley, but I don't know where the God Doctor Valley is." Gu Xin said, she was honest, her master was a dragon who saw the head but didn't see the tail.

"So that's it," said Xu Zhenyu.

Xu Zhenyu stopped asking about Shen Yi's whereabouts. Gu Xin and his men ate all the roasted sweet potatoes and went back to their house to sleep.

The room at home was not enough. Gu Xin asked several boys to squeeze in, and even out several rooms to live for Hongyan's subordinates. Hongyan's hands said that they could sleep anywhere, on trees, on the roof, and at a place. But Gu Xin felt that his father gave birth to his mother, he was a human being, but he was not a human being. He was here to help, and he had no wages, and abused others because he couldn't eat well and lived well, and he couldn't get along with his conscience.

You must build more houses in the spring of the coming year so that people will not be afraid of having no place to live.

As soon as the next day, after breakfast, everyone got up to work automatically, and Xu Zhenyu also changed into coarse cloth clothes he wore to help.

In two days, all the sweet potatoes were finally lifted out, and the people from Chiyan Sect also left. Gu Xin took some sweet potatoes and two more watermelons to leave. Gu Xinniang and Alan asked Aunt Li and the others to make a dress for several people. One of them was made of clothes. The big men from Chiyan Sect's eyes turned red when they left. I thought they didn't even know their parents. Since childhood, they had to kill people every day. Today, they knew what home felt like.

Gu Xin, a man from Chiyan Sect, took out one of the watermelons and cut it. Hongyan and Xu Zhenyu had never eaten it before, and the whole watermelon was almost wiped out by both of them.

Everyone in the family has eaten enough. Gu Xin thinks that although watermelon is expensive, the sweet potatoes produced by their own home are not bad.

When Xu Zhenyu left, he took another one and went home to eat. If Gu Xin hadn't had a place to live in the house, he would have lived directly at Gu Xin's house. However, now, except for sleeping, almost all three meals a day are at Gu Xin's house.

Today is August 12th, and there are three days left before Mid-Autumn Festival. Gu Xin wants to make some mooncakes. Here Gu Xin asked Gu Xinniang if there are mooncakes. Gu Xinniang said there are, but it is not delicious, hard, and not as delicious as pastries.

Gu Xin tried to make some mooncakes at home, including five-nut egg yolk pie, bean paste, and black sesame. The mooncakes made were always the first to try.

After eating the mooncakes filled with bean paste, Hongyan finally knew what Gu Xin used to collect soybeans and red beans. Red beans are used to make fillings and soybeans are used to press oil. Because time is tight, Gu Xin did not intend to sell the mooncakes made by Gu Xin, and they were all for their family members. The village chief gave some, Zhou Xiujie gave some, and gave some to Manager Liu of Chengde Restaurant, asking him to take a box of Baili Xuanming. When the mooncakes arrived in the capital, several days had passed, but Baili Xuanming ate a piece of mooncakes, Baili Qi and her wife ate one piece, and the rest were all wrapped by the old lady, and no one was allowed to eat them, so they protected food like a child.

Baili Qi and his wife really wanted to meet Gu Xin at this time. Those who could make such delicious snacks must be ladies from a noble family.

On August 15th, there was a lantern festival in the county, and the children at home wanted to go and see it. Hongyan sent two cars to pick them up. Gu Xinniang didn't go out often over the years, so Gu Xin dragged her mother to the fun.

When I arrived at Hongyan, I bought an inn in the county town, and everyone lived there.

Hongyan and Gu Xin both knew each other well and didn't talk about Chunfeng Tower

The streets were lively at night, and Gude led Gu Xinniang to go shopping alone. Hongyan sent someone to protect him secretly. Sheng'er stayed on Hongyan and refused to come down and insisted on following Hongyan.

Although the beauty is cold-hearted, she is very good to Sheng'er. Whatever she wants to buy?

Sometimes Gu Xin thought that this child might be really a love left by the beauty.

Gu Xin gave Eleven some money and asked him to take his younger brother and sister to buy what he liked, and let Zhao Chong and Li Ming follow him, so it would be safer. When Alan came, he went directly to Chunfeng Tower. Gu Xin remembered a saying, "A woman is too old to stay, staying and staying will become enemies." However, he gave Hongyan a death order. If Qingcheng touched her before Alan and the hairpin, he would break his descendants. Hongyan would twitch her.

Everyone went to check out the fireworks. Gu Xin felt it was boring and planned to go back to bed.
