Chapter 69 Mother Gu accepts a disciple!
Qin Zhizhi chatted with Cui and her mother-in-law for a while, and then the voices of several children were heard outside the yard.
Gu Jingshu and his companions saw the carriage in front of their yard from afar.
Then he ran home happily, while not forgetting to pull Gu Zheng, who was running slower.
Ning Ning heard the voices of several people and hurried out. "Mom, my brother and I went out to help, and they are all back."
Qin Zhizhi was a little confused for a moment. What kind of help was this?
Seeing Qin Zhizhi's confused expression, Cui smiled and explained, "I brought some food and daily necessities with me when I came here, but Ning'er insisted on waiting for the other children to move them together."
"I see. Mother, please stay with Madam Ning. I'll go out and take a look and help out."
Qin Zhizhi said hello to the two of them and left the house.
"Sister-in-law, come here!" Gu Jingyao shouted when she saw Qin Zhizhi coming. She liked her sister-in-law the most.
"Here we are. Please go slowly. If you can't move anything, let your brother Ning Xuan do it. I will make you a delicious lunch later."
"Sister, Zheng'er wants to eat sweet and sour pork ribs." Gu Zheng ordered his favorite sweet and sour pork ribs.
"Okay, if our Zheng'er wants to eat, I'll make it. You can also order whatever you want."
Qin Zhizhi usually dotes on her children and mostly encourages and educates them, so the children have been taught to be very sensible.
"Yao'er likes whatever my sister-in-law cooks." Gu Jingyao said sweetly. In her heart, there was no dish made by Qin Zhizhi that was not delicious.
"Everything my sister-in-law cooks is delicious, and I have no objection." Ning Xuan and Gu Jingyao were very unanimous on the issue of food.
"Okay, I'll go make you something delicious in a bit, so go ahead and move it."
Qin Zhizhi went outside to take a look, instructed them to sort the things and move them into the main room and kitchen, and then went to the kitchen to prepare.
He also asked Qin Qinghui to go to the old man's house to buy some fish and river shrimps. Of course, the old man would not charge any money.
After Ning Ning and the others finished their work, they came over to help. Qin Zhizhi assigned work to each of them.
After asking Ning Ning and Cui about their dietary restrictions, Qin Zhizhi prepared sweet and sour spare ribs, braised fish, stir-fried river shrimp, pork with bamboo shoots, stir-fried pork, spicy chicken, three fresh vegetables, sweet and sour pork, and tiger skin braised eggs...
Finally, I cooked a sweet soup, taking into account the tastes of both adults and children.
Cui originally thought it was just an ordinary farm meal, but was very surprised when she saw such a rich lunch on the table.
Some of them were brought by her today. They were what her son Ning Xuan strongly requested to buy when he came. Now seeing them on the dining table, Cui roughly understood that the ones in the photo were her son's favorite foods.
When Cui saw the spare ribs she had bought, she was still a little disgusted. She felt that they were all bones and difficult to chew.
Out of curiosity, the first dish Cui picked up was sweet and sour pork ribs.
This sweet and sour pork ribs is golden and translucent in color, which makes people's appetite increase just by looking at it.
It is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fresh and juicy, sweet and sour, and it stimulates your appetite immediately.
Cui was full of surprise. She didn't expect that the ribs could be cooked so deliciously.
"Mom, try this. This is my daughter's favorite dish."
Ning Ning picked up some fried river shrimps for her mother. When Cui heard her daughter say they were delicious, she also tried some.
Cui's dish was even more amazing the first time I took a bite. The shrimp shell was crispy, the shrimp meat was tender, and if you savored it carefully, there was a light sweetness, probably because sugar was added during the cooking process.
After trying the sweet and sour spareribs and fried river shrimp, Cui didn't need her daughter to introduce them to the other dishes this time, and tried them one by one.
Cui couldn't stop eating every dish, and she even ate half a bowl of rice more than usual, especially the stir-fried pork, which was so delicious.
Cui suddenly understood why her son often came to Gu's house.
Now he has a daughter who loves food. If it weren’t for her status, she would also like to live here permanently.
At this moment, Cui suddenly felt a little envious of her son and daughter.
After lunch, Qin Zhizhi arranged a nap for Cui. Ning Ning hadn't seen her mother for many days, so she slept with her mother.
After a short time together, Cui could see that the Gu family was very nice and treated both her and the children sincerely.
Ning Ning took her mother to her room and lay on the bed with Cui to chat.
"Mom, Ning'er wants to stay for a few more days, is that okay?"
"If you like, stay a few more days, so you won't be bored every day when you return home."
Cui felt that as long as her daughter was happy, nothing else mattered.
"Thank you, mother. I'd also like to ask you to help Ning'er speak well of me in front of Daddy, otherwise Ning'er is afraid that Daddy will be angry."
Ning Ning acted coquettishly with her mother because she was afraid that her father would be angry with her if he couldn't see her.
"Got it. Go to sleep quickly. Mom will go back and tell your dad that you've been very well behaved in the Gu family."
"Yes, that's what mother said. Besides, my daughter also learned embroidery from Aunt Gu. It's so beautiful, both sides are the same."
After hearing her daughter's description, Cui asked in surprise, "Ning'er, can you show it to me?"
"Mom, do we want to see it now?" Ning Ning didn't expect her mother to be so anxious.
"Is it okay?" Cui's eyes were full of anticipation.
"Of course you can. I'm afraid that I'll disturb your rest. If you want to see it, you can do so anytime."
Ning Ning didn't want to sleep anymore. She got up and went to the table to get the embroidery that she had learned from Gu's mother for her mother.
"Mom, let me show you, has Ning'er made a lot of progress?"
Ning Ning handed the handkerchief she embroidered to her mother, looking proud and waiting for her mother's praise.
Cui took the handkerchief and looked at it again and again. She said with surprise, "This is really double-sided embroidery. Although the embroidery still needs to be improved, it is already very rare."
"Ah, mother, is this the double-sided embroidery you told me about before? Didn't you say it was hard to find an embroiderer? Aunt Gu can do it."
Ning Ning was very surprised. She didn't expect that she had accidentally learned the double-sided embroidery that her mother had mentioned.
"I don't know what's going on either. After lunch break, I'll ask Madam Gu if she's willing to continue teaching you. If she is, you can take Madam Gu as your teacher and learn double-sided embroidery well."
Cui was very excited. She wanted to go and ask right away, but she was afraid of disturbing Gu's mother's rest.
"Okay, Aunt Gu will definitely agree. Aunt Gu likes Ning'er very much."
Ning Ning was very happy when she heard that she could become Gu's mother's disciple. This way, she could live in Gu's family.
Things went as smoothly as Ning Ning said. After Cui told Gu's mother about this, Gu's mother agreed readily.
She had always liked Ning Ning, and now that she liked to study, there was nothing she couldn't agree to.
Both daughter-in-law Qin Zhizhi and daughter Gu Jingyao don't like embroidery. Now that Ning Ning likes it, it means that her craft is passed on to someone.
Seeing that Gu's mother was teaching sincerely, Cui insisted that Ning Ning perform the apprenticeship ceremony, and Gu's mother had no choice but to drink the apprenticeship tea.
Because I am in a hurry today, I will make up for the apprenticeship ceremony later.
In this way, Ning Ning lived in the Gu family with full legitimacy.
Cui also took Ning Xuan back home with satisfaction. She didn't expect to have such an opportunity after coming to the countryside.
