Chapter 139 The Male Protagonist's Excellent Mother (Twenty-Six)
Gu Qingcheng only knew the outline of the story, but not the entire plot.
Buying a house next to the heroine's house can only be described by the word "fate".
Originally, Gu Qingcheng was not as outstanding as the original owner, and she did not really trick the male protagonist, causing him to miss the opportunity to meet the "noble man".
The hero and heroine can no longer become childhood sweethearts, and their fate seems to have been cut off.
However, Gu Qingcheng bought a house in the county. The predetermined fate took a turn at a certain point and then seemed to be back on track.
Huoshui couldn't help but cover his mouth: "Haha, what is this? An unexpected success? Or is it just shooting oneself in the foot?"
You can't blame the troublemaker for gloating over other people's misfortune.
It followed Gu Qingcheng on several missions and got to know her a little.
Gu Qingcheng is a person who may not say it, but she is very proud in her heart.
She seems to be very averse to having anything to do with the male or female protagonist.
Even if she was dressed as a cannon fodder or a female supporting role, Gu Qingcheng would not cling to the protagonist's thighs, but make herself the "big heroine"! The first and second stories were not very obvious, but by the third story, Gu Qingcheng was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, and it was out of control.
The system probably saw Gu Qingcheng's ambition and strong ability, so it "randomly" matched her with an excellent task.
However, Gu Qingcheng is still very powerful. Without destroying her character, she can still push and change the plot!
It’s a pity that she didn’t know that the fate between the heroine and the hero was destined by God.
Even if they go around in a circle, they can still meet!
Gu Qingcheng didn't know what Huoshui was thinking, but as perceptive as she was, she had already noticed that when Huoshui interacted with her neighbors on the east side, the energy fluctuations of Huoshui were quite frequent.
Are Mr. Zheng and his family very important characters in the original story?
Gu Qingcheng secretly kept this guess in mind.
She continued to maintain her weak and simple dodder character calmly, and started her life in the county town according to her set goals.
"Aunt, the water is coming!"
Zhao Daya was a diligent and smart girl. She helped her aunt get out of the car, asked her to go to the east bedroom to rest, and then she started to get busy.
Pack the luggage, make the bedding, clean the kitchen, and boil the water.
In less than an hour and a half, Zhao Daya came over with a basin of warm water.
"Daya is so hardworking!"
Gu Qingcheng smiled softly, and with the help of Zhao Daya, she washed off the dust on her body and changed into clean clothes.
Gu Qingcheng's straightforward praise made Zhao Daya feel a little embarrassed.
She pursed her lips shyly and said nothing, but she worked even harder.
Seeing that Gu Qingcheng had changed her dusty clothes, Zhao Daya took the clothes away without any instructions.
Gu Qingcheng is a very outstanding superior, and his grasp of people's hearts has already reached perfection.
She knew that winning people's hearts required not only material rewards but also spiritual recognition.
A casual compliment can make a little girl happy and work harder, so why not? Giving a newcomer a name can also increase her sense of belonging to this "home".
For example, the first thing a new maid or servant does when she comes in is for her master to change her name.
"Daya, let me give you a name."
Looking at Zhao Daya busy working, Gu Qingcheng said with a smile.
Zhao Daya raised her head suddenly, her eyes brightening, "Really? Auntie, can I, can I have a name too?"
Nowadays, girls from wealthy families are better off as they can be given a name and even have their own pen name after they come of age.
But most of the poor families just call the baby girl whatever they want when they give birth to a girl.
Some called them according to their ranking, such as Da Ya, Er Ya, Da Niu and Er Niu.
Some are more "purposeful", such as Zhaodi comes to see Pandi.
The Zhao family is not particularly patriarchal, but they would not specifically give their daughters names.
Therefore, as the first girl in the family, Zhao Daya was happily named "Daya".
But looking at the entire Zhaojiazhuang, there are quite a few Daya alone.
Zhao Daya is older now, and having served Gu Qingcheng for several months, she knows what is good and what is bad, and has a certain sense of honor and disgrace.
She somewhat disliked the name Daya and wanted a nice name that belonged to her alone!
Originally, Zhao Daya thought that if she worked hard and made her aunt happy, she would ask her to give her a name.
In the eyes of Zhuangzi's people, the aunt is a sickly, easily influenced and confused woman.
But in Zhao Daya's opinion, her aunt was very amazing. She was so beautiful and she could even read.
In this imaginary dynasty where illiterate people are everywhere, anyone who can write his or her own name can be considered a "cultured person"!
My aunt is a cultured person! Not to mention, there is also a cousin who can read.
Zhao Daya had thought about it a long time ago. If her aunt didn't know how to choose a name, she could ask her cousin for help through her!
In a year or two, she would be getting married, and she wanted to proudly introduce herself to her husband's family as "Zhao XXX" instead of Daya.
"sure!"
When Gu Qingcheng saw Zhao Daya’s surprised face, she knew that she had hit Zhao Daya’s sore spot.
She looked Zhao Daya up and down, pondered for a moment, and said, "You are the first girl of this generation in the Zhao family, and the eldest sister in the family, so let's call you Yuanyi."
Yuanyi?
What is it? Zhao Daya didn’t know it at all, nor could she write it, let alone know what the two words meant.
But when she heard Gu Qingcheng utter these two words, she inexplicably felt that they sounded nice, very, very noble! "Yuanyi? Zhao Yuanyi?"
Zhao Daya chewed slowly, her little face, which was a little tanned by the sun, full of joy.
"Thank you, Auntie! I, I'll be called Yuan Yi from now on!"
They are both the eldest sisters in the family, but Yuanyi sounds a thousand times better than Daya! Zhao Daya was so excited that she wanted to announce to everyone loudly: "My name is Zhao Yuanyi! I am the eldest daughter of the Zhao family!"
"Yuan Yi, is the kitchen ready? Go make some cakes. I'm a little hungry!"
Gu Qingcheng changed the subject and began to make demands.
Zhao Daya, oh no, it was Zhao Yuanyi who was not annoyed or resistant to being ordered around.
She became more active.
However, Zhao Yuanyi rubbed his hands in embarrassment: "Aunt, I, I don't know how to make cakes."
Zhaojiazhuang is just an ordinary country village, and the people living in the Zhao family’s old house are just ordinary farmers.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
As a girl, I learned to make fire and cook from a young age.
But Zhao Yuanyi only knows how to make steamed cornbread and vegetable cakes. She can't do any delicate work at all!
Oh, not that I can’t.
During the past few months of serving Gu Qingcheng, the picky and particular Gu Qingcheng subtly guided Zhao Yuanyi and other little girls to learn some more delicate meals.
However, for the sake of her character and to avoid arousing suspicion, Gu Qingcheng did not dare to do too much.
The "improvements" she could make were also very subtle.
Even so, Zhao Yuanyi and other girls have learned a lot about delicious food.
This is also one of the reasons why Zhao Yuanyi wants to follow Gu Qingcheng - following his aunt, who has a picky taste, he can learn some cooking skills.
Gu Qingcheng got acquainted with Mrs. Cui and now has moved to the county.
She felt it was time to improve the quality of her life.
"I can't make it either! But I ate a kind of snack at Sister Cui's house last time. It was small and cute, sweet and sticky, and very delicious!"
Gu Qingcheng showed a greedy look like a child. While recalling, she said to Zhao Yuanyi, "It's a steamed cake made with glutinous rice, red dates and red beans."
"...How about I give it a try?"
Seeing Gu Qingcheng talking excitedly, Zhao Yuanyi was moved.
She simply supported Gu Qingcheng, and they came to the newly cleaned kitchen.
Although Zhao Qingyun was young, he was thoughtful. When moving, he prepared food, meat, eggs, seasonings, etc.
There is a row of large and small jars at the base of the kitchen wall, containing all kinds of food such as rice, noodles, beans, etc.
Zhao Qingyun also bought some brown sugar and dates, which are quite expensive these days.
Zhao Yuanyi saw these things when he was cleaning the kitchen just now.
She was secretly amazed: My aunt's family is really rich! Then, Zhao Yuanyi was extremely grateful: Fortunately, I am smart and took the initiative to take care of my aunt.
Not to mention learning skills and broadening her horizons, even the food at her aunt's house was the best thing she had ever eaten in her life.
She increasingly felt that coming to her aunt's house was the smartest decision she had ever made in her life.
When taking care of Gu Qingcheng, Zhao Yuanyi was extremely attentive.
Knowing that my aunt was frail, she couldn't stand the smoke and fire from the kitchen, let alone working.
Zhao Yuanyi moved a chair to the door of the kitchen and asked Gu Qingcheng to sit down.
She tied on an apron and started busying herself in front of the stove.
"I asked the cook at Sister Cui's house, and she said to steam the red beans first, then..."
Gu Qingcheng said this half-truthfully.
Zhao Yuanyi followed Gu Qingcheng's instructions step by step.
Half an hour later, steam rose from the steamer and a rich aroma of dates began to waft through the kitchen.
When the lid is opened, pieces of crystal clear steamed cakes dotted with red are exported.
Zhao Yuanyi first served a plate to Gu Qingcheng, and then sent a large plate to Zhao Qingyun, Zhao Qingsong and his cousin Goudan.
The freshly steamed glutinous rice cake is sweet, fragrant, soft and delicious.
Gu Qingcheng ate in small bites, feeling very satisfied.
Zhao Yuanyi: ... Auntie is so pretty, even when she eats, she looks so pretty! Zhao Yuanyi has never been to school, so he can't say idioms like "pleasing to the eyes" or "beautiful to eat".
She only praised Gu Qingcheng as beautiful, really beautiful, too beautiful...
"Yuanyi, eat it while it's still hot! This steamed cake won't taste good if it gets cold!"
Gu Qingcheng greeted Zhao Yuanyi with a smile.
"Okay, auntie!"
Zhao Yuanyi obediently ate a piece. It was so sweet and sticky, and even could be pulled into threads if pulled gently.
There was a sense of satisfaction and happiness in Zhao Yuanyi's eyes.
"By the way, send some to our neighbors on both sides! We just arrived, so we need to say hello to our neighbors!" And find out who the neighbors are! Gu Qingcheng ate two pieces and then stopped.
She is a very restrained person and will not let external things influence her will.
"good!"
PS: Thank you to Shu Lanqin who accidentally dozed off N times for the 10,000 Niangbi reward, and thank you to Shandong Huagu for the 3,000 Niangbi reward. On the second day of the New Year, I received so many rewards. I was very surprised. Thank you all for your money! Thank you very much~
