Chapter 428 Visiting the Vegetable Market

Gu Rou finished eating quickly, washed the dishes, and put the remaining porridge into the cupboard.

She used to never do housework, but now she occasionally does some housework, which touches the maid and sister-in-law very much.

After Gu Rou finished doing all this, she opened the window and saw Zhao Tianyou, dressed in a smart suit, standing in front of the broken bicycle, with some repair tools scattered around.

The autumn sun shines softly on the man, giving him a feeling of a peaceful and tranquil life.

Gu Rou just lay on the window and watched, without moving for a long time.

Zhao Tianyou, who was fiddling with the bicycle chain, noticed the gazes gathering not far away. He followed the gazes and saw a little head sticking out from the windowsill, lying there quietly.

Zhao Tianyou smiled and waved at Gu Rou, "Come on, give it a try."

Gu Rou raised her head abruptly and pointed at herself, "Me?"

Zhao Tianyou nodded and said, "I told you I'd teach you how to ride a bike. There's no one here today, so you can try the one I fixed first!"

Zhao Tianyou then continued to repair the bicycle in front of him.

"Then wait for me!"

Gu Rou rushed out of the kitchen and returned to her room, greeting herself quickly.

The closet is full of clothes, but for some reason, I can't choose any one.

Gu Rou stood in front of the closet, hesitating for a long time. She was afraid that Zhao Tianyou would wait for too long, so she finally put on a random skirt and ran out.

In the yard, Zhao Tianyou was still concentrating on adjusting his bicycle.

His focused look made Gu Rou feel embarrassed to disturb him. Standing not far away, I don’t know what to do.

Zhao Tianyou pressed the chain on and when he looked up he saw Gu Rou standing there in a daze.

"Come here," Zhao Tianyou waved his hand again, "Give me the wrench at your feet."

"Oh." With Zhao Tianyou's instructions, Gu Rou instantly turned into a little helper.

Not long after, Zhao Tianyou clapped his hands and said, "It's OK, you can ride it."

"That's it?"

"Yeah." Zhao Tianyou tilted his head slightly and looked at her, "Come up and try it."

Gu Rou wanted to get on, but the bicycle was very high. When she raised her legs, she found it difficult to get on.

And I just picked a skirt in a rush.

Gu Rou stood there in embarrassment. Zhao Tianyou smiled and said, "It's getting late. If we don't go to the market, the good vegetables will be snatched away by others. Please help me put away the tools. I'll go change my clothes."

There weren’t many things, so Gu Rou took a look at a few and agreed.

By the time Gu Rou put away the tools, Zhao Tianyou had changed his clothes.

"Thank you." Zhao Tianyou smiled and rubbed Gu Rou's head, then climbed onto the bicycle, "Come, let's go out for a walk. I'll take you for a ride."

"I'm very heavy." Gu Rou didn't act pretentiously. She sat in the back seat and naturally pulled the corner of Zhao Tianyou's clothes.

"Hold on tight, let's go."

The autumn wind blew Gu Rou's hair. At this moment, it was particularly peaceful.

"It's rare for you to come out today, what do you want to eat, Xiaorou?"

Gu Rou obviously didn't think about this.

It seems that the things she likes to eat are very expensive. Dad said that she can eat whatever is available at grandpa's house and she rarely makes any requests.

And Mrs. Li also knew what she liked to eat, so Gu Rou didn't worry about it.

"Whatever, we'll buy whatever Brother Tianyou likes to eat."

"Me? I like to eat anything edible, haha!"

"I love that too!"

Gu Rou grabbed the corner of his clothes and sat back to continue enjoying the autumn breeze.

The vegetable market was bustling with people.

Looking around, there are crowds of people and all kinds of food.

"Just follow me and don't wander around. There are too many people here. Be careful not to get lost."

Zhao Tianyou patted Gu Rou's head, then walked in front of Gu Rou to clear the way.

"Brother Tianyou, you're right. I'm not a child. Even if I get lost, I can find my way back."

Gu Rou said this, but she still couldn't help but get closer to Zhao Tianyou.

What she hates most is crowded places like this, let alone going out to buy groceries or something.

This should be the first time I walked into the vegetable market willingly.

Everything in the vegetable market was new to Gu Rou. She had seen most of these dishes on the dining table, and sometimes she didn’t even know what the dish was.

"Hey, Brother Tianyou, what is that?"

"Okra,"

Zhao Tianyou looked in the direction of Gu Rou's finger and gave the answer instantly. "This dish is rare. I'm afraid you may not be used to the taste. How about buying some and mixing it cold?"

"Can you do it?"

"What do you think?" Zhao Tianyou glanced at Gu Rou and felt that he was looked down upon by the girl in front of him.

Gu Rou immediately thought of Zhao Tianyou's previous experience, and immediately covered her mouth and smiled, "I don't know what they originally looked like, but I remember the names of the dishes, can I tell you?"

"Okay, go ahead."

As Zhao Tianyou's voice fell, Gu Rou instantly named a lot of dishes.

After she finished speaking, seeing that Zhao Tianyou hadn't said anything, Gu Rou felt that she seemed to be making things difficult for him, so she immediately opened her mouth to explain.

"Brother Tianyou, I..."

Unexpectedly, Zhao Tianyou grabbed Gu Rou's wrist and said, "Let's go buy your favorite cabbage first."

Zhao Tianyou took Gu Rou to go back and forth, sometimes helping her choose cabbage, sometimes choosing radishes, and sometimes buying eggplants...

Gu Rou looked at the full basket of vegetables in Zhao Tianyou's hands and never expected that buying vegetables required so much knowledge.

When choosing eggplants, choose ones that are elastic, when choosing cabbages, choose those that are tightly packed, when choosing radishes, choose those that are juicy, and when choosing peppers, choose those that look greener…

Strange knowledge was filled in Gu Rou's mind, and she suddenly felt that buying groceries was not a boring thing. At least now she still enjoyed the process of buying groceries.

She suddenly felt the air of fireworks.

The way back was obviously as long as the way here, but Gu Rou felt it seemed much shorter.

She leaned on Zhao Tianyou's back, saying she was exhausted. When she reached the door of her house, she suddenly said without thinking, "Brother Tianyou, are you going home later?"

"Where to go back to?"

"Aren't you going home? Aren't you... aren't you getting married?"

Zhao Tianyou stopped and frowned, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who wants to marry that psychopath? It's not someone else's turn to decide my marriage."

Gu Rou couldn't help laughing "Really?"

"Why don't you trust me today?"

"Hey, no, no, I'm just asking out of curiosity."

Gu Rou smiled and shook her head repeatedly. She didn't know why, but she felt particularly good the moment she got the answer.

"Brother Tianyou, what are your plans next?"

"I will be allocated a house by my superiors, and I will settle here in the future."

As Zhao Tianyou's voice fell, the bicycle stopped steadily at the gate of the courtyard. "We're here, let's go, I'll make you some food."

"Okay, Brother Tianyou, please do more. I'm so hungry today."

"Yeah." Zhao Tianyou agreed with a smile.
