Having once secretly tasted raw meat, Doraku said with lingering fear, "I don't eat raw meat."
Yu Rujia: "Your Uncle Guojing is like that. He eats things that aren't cooked properly, which is why people say there's no good food in Jiangcheng. You can't be like him and eat just anything."
Having a lot of experience with eating random things, Duolu said seriously with a stern face, "Eating random things is wrong. When Uncle Guojing comes, I will tell him."
Although that's not the case, it's better for Duolu to misunderstand that Gao Guojing eats random things than for the reputation of the entire Jiangcheng to be damaged, so Gao Guojing will just have to bear it himself.
Gao Guojing had already boarded the train in Jiangcheng, while Gao Xiujuan muttered to herself by the window, "Soap, remember to bring back lots of soap."
Gao Guojing couldn't help but roll his eyes. Gao Xiujuan had mentioned it far too many times. She had been talking about soap since before he even bought his ticket, and she was still talking about it on the train.
Gao Guojing: "Mom, I understand. You can go back now. Remember to tell my brother that he can pick me up in town. There's no need to go to the city."
Although he didn't bring as much stuff this time as last time, he still brought three large bags and a small package.
When changing trains in the city, he carried a bag in each hand, another bag on his back, and a small bag hanging on his chest. People with internal strength are twice as strong as ordinary people, and he can barely carry several hundred kilograms of goods over such a short distance.
However, the journey from the town to Shangfen Brigade was quite long, so Gao Shujing still had to go and pick him up.
Gao Xiujuan: "I understand. Be careful on the road, and don't stick your head out..."
She gave him a series of instructions, and only stopped when the train started moving. She wasn't worried about Gao Guojing going to Shangfen Brigade alone before, but now that he was really gone, she was a little worried.
Around three or four in the afternoon, Erdan brought a group of friends over to Gao Shujing's place.
Gao Shujing, who was repairing junk, saw them as soon as they stepped into the front yard and greeted them, "Erdan, Dawa, Huazi, Gou Dan, you're here to see Duofu, right? They're in the back yard, go in and call them."
Erdan casually wiped the sweat from his face: "Uncle Gao, we'll go find Duofu and the others later. My dad told me to tell you that Uncle Guojing is taking the train at one o'clock this afternoon."
"I'll have you keep an eye on things and pick them up in town. You don't need to go to the city this time. Here's a letter of introduction; my dad has prepared it for you. You can go directly tomorrow."
Gao Shujing freed one hand to take the letter of introduction: "Uncle understands, thank you Erdan."
After explaining the tasks assigned by Captain Huang, Erdan led his three friends to the backyard: "Duofu, we're here! Where are you guys?"
Hearing their friends' voices, the little ones ran out one after another: "Brother Erdan, Brother Dawa... we were just about to go out and look for you, and here you are! That's great!"
A group of friends gathered together, chattering away. Yu Rujia took out the roasted chestnuts that Gao Shujing had prepared earlier and served them to the little ones.
Yu Rujia: "Come on, Auntie has some chestnuts here, you can try them."
Chestnuts are very common in the brigade, and the children in the brigade often roast chestnuts to eat. When they heard Yu Rujia mention chestnuts, they didn't take it seriously at first.
But when they actually put it in their mouths, the sweet and soft texture still made the little ones squint their eyes.
After finishing the chestnut meat, Gou Dan couldn't resist licking the chestnut shell a few times: "It's sweet, it has sugar, it's delicious."
Erdan happily ate chestnuts: "Aunt Rujia's cooking is the best. Her pancakes were delicious before, and her chestnuts are delicious now too."
Yu Rujia: "Eat more if you like, these are all yours."
While eating chestnuts, Gou Dan said, "When I go back, I'll ask my mom to make me these sweet chestnuts too."
Gou Dan's mother, Huang Guihua, has a fiery temper. If he dares to bring this up with his mother, he'll probably only get a beating. Obviously, Yu Rujia isn't the only one with this idea.
Hua Zi: "Forget it. These chestnuts have sugar in them. If you ask Aunt Guihua to make you sweet chestnuts, you'll be lucky if she doesn't beat you up."
Thinking of his own mother's bamboo cane, Gou Dan's small body shrank imperceptibly.
Erdan said confidently, "My mom loves me very much. If I ask her to make sweet chestnuts, she will definitely do it."
"It's just that her cooking skills are not good. Nothing she makes tastes very good. Sweet chestnuts are still better when made by Aunt Rujia."
Da Wa rolled his eyes at him. Aunt Yan Hong's cooking skills were no worse than Er Dan's. If he was afraid she wouldn't make it for him, he could have just said so. Why make up an excuse?
He smacked his lips on the soft, chewy chestnut. In terms of skill, Aunt Yan Hong was indeed far inferior to Aunt Ru Jia compared to his own mother.
Duolu kept talking and even managed to correct a few of his friends' ideas: "The chestnuts were made by my uncle, but my aunt makes the best food, even better than my uncle."
Da Wa: "I never expected Uncle Gao's cooking to be so delicious. I wish my dad was that good. Uncle Gao would even teach you martial arts. I asked my dad to teach me, but he wouldn't."
Erdan: "My dad doesn't teach me either. He says he's too busy to teach me, but that's a lie. I clearly saw him talking to someone else."
The group of friends got together and started discussing whose cooking skills were the best, and then moved on to discussing whose parents were the most capable. Needless to say, Yu Rujia and Gao Shujing completely outshone the other parents.
Yu Rujia sat in the courtyard listening to the little ones' innocent chatter, and sometimes she found it quite amusing.
A bowl of roasted chestnuts kept the kids playing in the backyard for an hour or two before they went home.
When the eldest son returned home, he peeled the roasted chestnuts he had saved and stuffed them into his younger sister's mouth, while he himself licked the shells.
Wu Shengli, who had just returned from outside, sniffed: "What delicious food did your mom make tonight? It smells so sweet. When did she start adding sugar to her cooking?"
Da Wa: "Dad, what are you thinking about? These are some roasted chestnuts I brought back from Duofu's house. They're so delicious, fragrant, sweet, and chewy. Duolu said his uncle made them. Dad, can you make them?"
Wu Shengli froze for a moment as he entered the house. Oh no, he was about to be given another lecture on how amazing Gao Shujing was.
He's just a middle school student from the countryside, how can he compare to a college student from the city? But Gao Shujing knows too much, making him seem like a complete fool.
However, considering his role as a scorekeeper, Wu Shengli quickly felt relieved; there weren't many people in the brigade who could compare to him.
Gao Shujing is just an exception. Not to mention himself in Shangfen Brigade, even if you add up everyone in the entire Dongyuan Commune, you probably wouldn't find many people more capable than Gao Shujing.
Faced with his eldest child's persistent questioning, Wu Shengli opted for a tactical retreat: "Dad's still busy. Tell your mom I'll be back later."
