Chapter 440 Snail Noodles
When Su Nanzhi woke up, Gu Xizhou was lying beside her with his eyes closed.
Before she could move, Gu Xizhou had already hugged her, his voice a little hoarse.
"woke up?"
Su Nanzhi nodded and moved closer to his arms.
But when she felt the hard muscles under the man's shirt, she wanted to open her eyes in disgust.
But it only earned her a tighter embrace from the man.
Su Nanzhi simply stopped moving.
The two didn't say anything, just hugged each other quietly.
After a long while, Gu Xizhou finally let go of his arms around her waist.
"Get up and wash up so you can have dinner later."
Su Nanzhi nodded.
10 minutes later.
When Gu Xizhou and Su Nanzhi arrived at the living room, there was no one there and no sound was heard in the kitchen.
The Gu family has a nanny.
However, due to the times, this nanny was nominally a distant relative of the Gu family, and when she came to visit the Gu family, she actually helped the Gu family with housework.
But the nanny who was supposed to be busy in the kitchen was nowhere to be seen.
Su Nanzhi could tell with her heels that it must have been Yuan Aiwen's signal.
"Your stepmother's brain doesn't seem to be working very well."
Looking at the empty kitchen, Su Nanzhi couldn't help but mutter to Gu Xizhou beside her.
After all, he is a smart person, and he will hide some of his malice.
"Why were you bullied by her before?"
Gu Xizhou heard the curiosity in her words and couldn't help but start to recall.
Maybe it’s because Su Nanzhi is by my side, the memories that I used to feel painful now seem unexpectedly calm when I recall them.
“Maybe there was still anticipation at that time?”
Hearing Gu Xizhou's casual words, Su Nanzhi felt a pang of bitterness in her heart, and she became even more disgusted with the Gu family.
She couldn't help but hold Gu Xizhou's hand and said, "I'll protect you from now on."
Gu Xizhou looked at her acting like a big sister and couldn't help but laugh, "I still remember someone calling me brother."
Su Nanzhi's cheeks turned red instantly. Was it her idea to call him brother?
If it weren't for Gu Xizhou always...
She pulled her hand back and glared at Su Nanzhi fiercely.
"I don't want to bother with you."
After saying that, she sat down on the sofa with a huff.
Seeing that she was really angry, Gu Xizhou stopped talking and apologized immediately.
After being coaxed by Gu Xizhou for a long time, Su Nanzhi finally magnanimously "forgave" Gu Xizhou.
The two sat on the sofa and waited for a long time, but no one showed up.
"As expected, the great man never deceived me. I can live comfortably by working hard."
Su Nanzhi stood up from the sofa, rolled up her sleeves, and gave Gu Xizhou a mischievous smile, "I think we should make this bowl of rice ourselves."
Gu Xizhou also rolled up his sleeves and nodded, then followed Su Nanzhi to the kitchen.
The two of them had developed a tacit understanding in the Su family's old house.
One washes and cuts vegetables, and the other cooks.
The Gu family had good living conditions. Su Nanzhi found rice, flour, seasonal vegetables, and a big pig's trotter in the cupboard.
Su Nanzhi has no intention of treating herself badly.
"Make some pig's trotter soup, then boil some noodles and pair them with the pickles my fellow villagers gave me."
When mentioning the word "pickles", Su Nanzhi sucked in her saliva.
However, when Gu Xizhou heard her say this, hesitation appeared on his face.
"Nanzhi, do you really want to cook that pickle?"
After seeing Su Nanzhi nod without any hesitation, Gu Xizhou stopped talking nonsense, quickly prepared the pig's trotters, and started cooking on the stove.
Although the Gu family lives in a small villa, they still use an earthen stove in the kitchen.
The fire in the earthen stove was burning brightly, and the pig's trotters were stewed quickly. The whole kitchen was instantly filled with the aroma of the pig's trotters.
Su Nanzhi stood aside and tried to think of a solution, but there was no place for her to use it.
Finally, Gu Xizhou served her a bowl of soup and asked her to wait aside.
While drinking the soup, Su Nanzhi instructed Gu Xizhou to open the "pickles" given by his fellow villagers.
Gu Xizhou always thought that he had a high tolerance for dirty and smelly things, but when he went to take the "pickles" in the sack, he couldn't help but take a deep breath before he mustered up the courage to open the sack.
Even though the mouth of the sack was tied with a knot, one could still smell a faint stench when one got close.
When the knot of the sack was untied, the stench was even more overwhelming.
Gu Xizhou felt like he was back to when he was a soldier, and it was his turn to clean public toilets every once in a while.
He held his breath and took out a cracked earthenware jar from the sack.
"Do you really want to eat this pickle?"
Gu Xizhou couldn't help but confirm it again and again.
The next second, Su Nanzhi opened the earthenware jar, reached out to grab a few pale yellow dried bamboo shoots from the jar, and then threw them into her mouth.
Gu Xizhou's pupils trembled, and he had no time to stop himself.
Su Nanzhi took a bite, and the sour and spicy taste instantly filled her taste buds, making her want to take another bite. She saw Gu Xizhou looking at her with a worried look on his face.
She generously threw the dried bamboo shoots in her hand into Gu Xizhou's mouth.
"Don't spit!"
If she were to say what she misses most after her rebirth, it would definitely be snail noodles!
It’s just that transportation was not convenient in that era and Liu Province was too far away. She thought she would have to wait until it was opened in the future before she could go to Liu Province to eat snail noodles.
I didn’t expect that the locals on the train gave me sour bamboo shoots among the specialties.
You should know that the most essential thing in a bowl of snail noodles is the sour bamboo shoots.
Now she is like an ardent fan, enthusiastically recommending snail noodles to others.
"How is it? Is it delicious?"
She waited for Gu Xizhou's feedback with anticipation.
Fortunately, Gu Xizhou did not disappoint her. There was some difference after the sour bamboo shoots were stuffed into her stomach at first, but her taste buds soon tasted the unique flavor of the sour bamboo shoots.
Although he didn't like it, he could accept it.
Facing Su Nanzhi's expectant gaze, he nodded very decisively.
Su Nanzhi's eyes lit up, and then she waved her hand, "Then add sour bamboo shoots to the pig's trotter soup, and we'll eat it together!"
She was not so submissive. Yuan Aiwen not only gave her a warning but also cooked dinner for the Gu family.
But since the Gu family doesn’t eat it, she and Gu Xizhou can’t eat it.
The snail noodles with pig's trotter soup as the base taste delicious just thinking about it.
Add to that the huge amount of sour bamboo shoots, and I don’t know how long it will take for the stench in the Gu family to go away.
Gu Xizhou and Su Nanzhi have been together for a long time, and he can tell what bad intentions she has with just one look.
As a wife slave, he naturally would not object.
Soon two servings of snail noodles were ready.
Not long after the two of them sat down at the dining table in the living room, there was movement in the Gu family, which had been quiet just a moment ago.
"What stinks so bad?"
"Did the toilet at home explode?"
"Ugh, who's pooping?"
…
Whenever the three members of the Gu family came out of the study or the bedroom, they smelled a stronger odor outside.
Yuan Aiwen covered his nose and felt that his whole body was enveloped by the stench.
When I realized that the source of the odor was the dining table, I almost jumped up.
"What are you eating?"
After Yuan Aiwen finished speaking, he vomited again.
Su Nanzhi picked up a chopstick of rice noodles and stuffed it into her mouth. After chewing it slowly, she said, "Dinner."
Gu Yuanyuan, who was standing far away, couldn't help but blurt out, "Are you, a country bumpkin, eating shit?"
Su Nanzhi: Although she knew that the other party was impolite and ignorant, she still felt that it was a bit presumptuous when she heard this.
"Ms. Gu, have you ever eaten shit? Does shit taste like this?"
Gu Yuanyuan: "I... of course I haven't eaten it, but doesn't your taste smell like a toilet bowl?"
Su Nanzhi wiped her mouth slowly and said, "It's my fault that I'm not a good cook. I took a long train and was starving when I thought I could have a hot meal when I got home. There's no one to cook at home, so I have to cook for myself."
After saying that, she pushed the remaining snail noodles next to Gu Xizhou.
Although she likes eating snail noodles very much, her appetite is not big, and there is still more than half of the rice noodle left in the big bowl.
The two of them were already very accustomed to this kind of interaction, which surprised the three members of the Gu family.
Gu Xizhou, who has been cold since childhood, actually eats other people's leftovers.
And the leftovers taste so weird.
