Chapter 63 Someone Comes In
Mrs. Mo heard the noise and came out of the house. She looked around and didn't see anyone, so she stood at the door without moving.
Gu Xiaoxi stared at Mo intently in the space, with the look of an eagle staring at its prey.
The room was lit up and Gu Ximing walked out.
"Why aren't you sleeping so late at night?" he asked in a daze.
"Someone came in." Mrs. Mo said with certainty.
Gu Ximing woke up from his nap and hurriedly pulled Mo behind him to protect her.
Mrs. Mo subconsciously turned her head to look at Gu Ximing, and suddenly felt a little touched.
No!
The love of a poor man is worthless and useless.
Once she finds the right person, she will definitely dump this loser.
Gu Ximing was also scared. He calmed himself down a little, walked around the corner with the kerosene lamp, and then opened the kitchen door.
The room was empty and there was nothing in it.
call……
He exhaled a breath and walked out with a kerosene lamp.
"It's okay, there's no one here, go back to sleep." He said and yawned.
Seeing that there was indeed no one there, Mrs. Mo glanced at the nearby big tree again. Seeing no figure, she turned around and went back to sleep.
A cold wind blew, Gu Ximing shivered, and ran into the house and closed the door.
Gu Xiaoxi didn't dare to leave at this time. Mrs. Mo was very cunning now. She waited until dawn before climbing over the wall and leaving.
However, Mrs. Mo actually noticed this commotion. She came out to take a look, but still found nothing.
Damn it?
This body is so useless, my five senses are dull.
Someone must have come in, but it’s a pity I didn’t see who it was?
After returning home, Gu Xiaoxi lay down for a while and then got up. They had to get up early because they were going to the city today.
After a busy period, everyone got on the ox cart, and Gu Xiaoxi fell asleep holding the backpack in front of him.
Gu Dongming and his friends saw that Xiaoxi was so tired, so they didn't say a word along the way.
The others didn’t know that Xiaoxi went out last night, but Gu Nanming knew, but he just didn’t have the chance to ask.
The ox cart wobbled into the city, and after unloading the things, the others didn't let Gu Xiaoxi do anything.
Gu Xiaoxi finally woke up from her sleep when she heard the guest's voice.
"Sister, what's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?" Chen Qinian had no classes in the morning, so he was waiting at the stall early in the morning.
"It's nothing. I didn't sleep well last night, so I'm just a little sleepy." Gu Xiaoxi covered her mouth and yawned. Seeing that it was Chen Qinian, she asked seriously, "Why are you here so early today? Did you skip class?"
"No, that's not the case. The teacher asked for leave, so we don't have to attend the next class." Chen Qinian explained immediately.
Gu Xiaoxi glanced at him, not wanting to expose his lie.
If that's the case, why didn't those followers around him come?
hehe……
Chen Qinian felt like he was seen through. It turned out that one couldn't lie in front of a master.
He lowered his head and stammered, "I, I don't like that teacher's class."
"Don't you like getting up early and working late to make money? But, life forces me to do so.
You're just born into a good family. If you were born into an ordinary family, where studying was a luxury, you wouldn't be so complaining." Gu Xiaoxi didn't mean to lecture, she was just complaining to herself.
After all, reincarnation is not a simple technical job, and even someone like her who lives a second life cannot escape the arrangement of fate.
"I understand. Next time, I, I won't do it again. Sister Xiaoxi, please don't hate me for this." Chen Qinian said.
"Don't worry, it won't happen." Gu Xiaoxi replied and then got busy.
When Chen Qinian heard this, he laughed again and then helped to greet the guests.
At noon, the gate of the academy opened and Chen Qinian actually started shouting.
Seeing Young Master Chen San helping to sell chestnuts, even the teachers in the academy paid for it.
Before noon, the backpack was emptied.
They didn't plan to have lunch at Brother Tan's place, as they couldn't always take advantage of others.
However, Brother Tan and his wife forced them to sit down.
"If you don't eat it, you're looking down on us. Look, just by selling the three-fresh porridge you taught me these past two days, our income has doubled compared to before.
From now on, eat lunch here, otherwise don't set up a stall here." Mrs. Tan said seriously.
Gu Xiaoxi felt a little embarrassed when she heard this.
This location is the most suitable, but it’s not good to always eat other people’s lunch for free.
"Xiaoxi, do you treat me as your sister-in-law?" Mrs. Tan knew that Xiaoxi had the final say in their family.
"Of course." Gu Xiaoxi came back to his senses and replied.
"Then it's settled. Let's eat and go back quickly." Mrs. Tan sat down happily when she heard Xiaoxi say that.
Gu Xiaoxi opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
"Thank you, Brother Tan and Sister Tan." She could only pay for the meal with other things when the time comes.
It is easy for others to copy the recipe of Three Fresh Porridge, but it is probably not easy to copy the recipe of Century Egg and Lean Meat Porridge.
Anyway, she hasn't seen preserved eggs sold anywhere.
It takes time to pickle preserved eggs, and she doesn’t know if there is any place here that sells duck eggs, so she has to look for it.
After having lunch and saying goodbye to Brother Tan and his wife, Gu Xiaoxi led his brothers and sisters-in-law to buy some candy, and asked if there were any duck eggs for sale here.
I finally found a place selling eggs, but they weren't there.
The waiter told him that duck eggs could only be found in the duck pond outside the city.
So they bought some brown sugar and left the city, walking all the way to the place the waiter mentioned.
It was a village where people raised a lot of ducks. Ducks like water, and there was a big pond here.
People here think that duck eggs have a fishier smell than chicken eggs, so they don’t like to eat duck eggs. However, many people eat duck meat, so the price of duck eggs is one penny cheaper than chicken eggs.
Chicken eggs cost three cents each, and duck eggs cost two cents. Gu Xiaoxi thought that preserved eggs were also a good dish and easy to store, so she bought fifty duck eggs.
When Xue saw that her sister-in-law bought so many duck eggs, she felt a little sad, but when she thought that they could also eat them, she felt much better.
Looking at the running ducks, she thought of beer duck, konjac duck, and braised duck with ginger.
After swallowing hard, she finally took action.
"Boss, can you give me a fatter duck? How much is the price?" she asked the boss.
"The big ones weigh six pounds, and they cost thirty-six cents each," replied the duck keeper.
Gu Xiaoxi thought the price was acceptable. Pheasants could be caught in the mountains, and she had not seen any wild ducks yet. So she gave the money, tied up the duck and threw it into one of the backpacks.
"Xiaoxi, you will definitely get scolded if you buy so much." Gu Nanming looked at his sister worriedly.
Although their lives are better now than before, they don't have much money to spend. They are lucky to have enough to eat. How can they eat meat every other day?
hehe……
Gu Xiaoxi smiled.
Before she could say anything, she suddenly saw two small hands waving in the pond not far away.
"Third brother, there is someone in the pond." Gu Xiaoxi shouted.
Gu Nanming ran over to take a look, and sure enough, he saw a pair of hands struggling in the water.
The owner of the fish pond went over to help, and the two of them rowed the boat over. Gu Nanming grabbed the hand that was about to be submerged and pulled the person out with force.
"Sister, it's a child." Gu Nanming shouted.
Gu Xiaoxi turned around and looked at her eldest brother and sister-in-law and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, go get some firewood."
Why……
The couple found a place to put down the backpack and went to the woods nearby.
After a while, Gu Nanming brought the dying child over.
Gu Xiaoxi asked her third brother to put the child down. She pressed his chest and asked him to spit out the water in his mouth.
The child's face was covered by his hair. Seeing him open his eyes slightly, she lifted his hair away.
When she saw the child's appearance clearly, she was shocked.
