Gu Yiben didn't have much hope that she could cook, but he didn't expect the meat in the pot to become more and more fragrant as it stewed, and he was so greedy that he swallowed his saliva until his stomach was full.
"Hey..." The little guy couldn't help it and wanted to find a reason to ask.
Su Luo glanced at him with a half-smile: "You are so disrespectful, call me mom~"
Gu Yi raised his eyes and met her half-smile. His face turned red and he said nothing awkwardly, not even calling her by that name.
He was still skeptical about Su Luo's change. Who knew what she was up to?
And...the relationship between them had been extremely cold before. He had always cooked in the past, and he had never taken the initiative to invite Su Luo to eat.
How can I dare to ask her anything now?
Forget it! He was just bewitched by the smell of meat, and he didn't want to compromise because of meat!
Su Luo understood his awkwardness, but didn't say anything more. She thought that once was enough for him to mend his ways, and the rest required action. She didn't believe that she couldn't even coax a child.
While Gu Yi was lowering his head to light the fire, Su Luo released some spiritual spring water from her right hand and dripped it into the pot.
Spring water can strengthen the body, beautify the skin, and cure diseases.
The scar on Gu Yi's left eye and his blind left eye have always been a source of worry for him. Su Luo couldn't bear to see a child bear this scar and be criticized for the rest of his life because of his original fault.
But she had to think of a way to make the spiritual spring come more reasonably.
Otherwise, in this day and age, if Gu Yi's eyes inexplicably healed and the scar disappeared, people would always suspect her.
Su Luo doesn't want to be so high-profile.
The braised pork was ready, and Su Luo simply fried a plate of wild vegetables with the same base as the braised pork.
Gu Yi was about to take the dishes out when Su Luo stopped him.
Su Luo said: "Let's eat in the kitchen so the smell doesn't spread out."
Gu Yi didn't understand, but didn't say anything and put down the bowl.
The mother and son put the braised pork and wild vegetables on the stove in the kitchen, and ate while standing with their bowls in hand.
Su Luo put two large pieces of fat and lean braised pork into Gu Yi's bowl: "Eat quickly, you can wash the dishes after you finish eating. This piece is a reward for you to wash the dishes."
Gu Yi's eyes lit up. He finally found a legitimate excuse to eat meat!
He would wash the dishes later, which could be considered as helping out, so it wasn't like he was eating her meat in vain!
The child was used to a vegetarian diet, and if he suddenly ate something too greasy, he would easily get diarrhea, so Su Luo only gave him two pieces of meat.
Gu Yi was reluctant to eat, so he picked up some wild vegetables and finished his meal. Unexpectedly, the wild vegetables also had the rich flavor of braised pork. He finally couldn't help it and ate them with relish.
I haven’t eaten rice for a long time. The hot, fluffy and rich rice is simply the most delicious thing on earth!
The little guy was reluctant to eat the meat, so he finished all the rice with the wild vegetables. Then he carefully picked up a piece of meat at the bottom of the bowl and reverently put it into his mouth.
Su Luo smiled and said proudly, "How is it, your mother's cooking skills are pretty good, right?"
Gu Yi nodded reservedly: "Not bad."
It was simply too good! He had never known that Su Luo could cook, and cook so deliciously! The fragrant pork was fat and lean, mixed with the fresh aroma of soy sauce and a hint of sweetness from rock sugar, but it was not greasy at all, and it was extremely fragrant.
Gu Yi chewed for a long time before he reluctantly swallowed the meat bit by bit. There was still a piece of meat at the bottom of the bowl. He wanted to get some more rice, but the rice was also bought by Su Luo. He looked at Su Luo hesitantly.
Su Luo sighed politely, "I accidentally washed too much rice when I was washing it. There's so much rice in such a hot day. What if it goes bad tomorrow? Do you want to eat some more?"
"Got it." Gu nodded like an old man, turned around to serve the rice, his steps almost flying.
Su Luo was trying very hard to hold back her laughter, but she couldn't help feeling a little helpless.
How pitiful it is for a seven-year-old child to be so polite and cautious even with his own mother.
Little fool.
Although the two of them were standing, they enjoyed their meal very much.
Su Luo was so fat that she felt full after eating three bowls of rice. Gu Yi had eaten one and a half bowls and was cleaning the kitchen.
Su Luo sat comfortably on a small stool, leaning against the stove and said to Gu Yi: "Tomorrow we will move the table and chairs from my room to the kitchen, and we will eat in the kitchen from now on."
"Yeah." Gu Yi responded. He softened his attitude after all. He looked at Su Luo hesitantly, wanting to say something.
Su Luo explained: "Although we have made money now, we still have to keep a low profile. We are the only ones in the family, and wealth attracts attention. I don't want others to know that I have made so much money. You should not tell others, lest others covet our things."
Gu Yi lowered his head and thought for a while, it seemed to be the truth, so he nodded: "Okay."
Su Luo thought for a moment, and then said, "Don't worry, Mom can make money by writing novels, and we can live a good life in the future. However, your mom's reputation was too bad before, and her sudden wealth will definitely attract people's attention, so I asked you to keep it a secret. When I build good relationships with the villagers in the future and have connections in the village, we don't have to hide it like this. I haven't figured out how to live in the future, anyway, let's take it step by step."
Gu Yi looked at her seriously. Seeing that she looked sincere and didn't seem to be lying, he finally believed her a little: "You..."
Su Luo said: "Don't be so moved, wash the dishes first."
Gu Yi: “…Oh.”
Su Luo hummed a little tune while leaning against the stove, watching the thin figure of the little guy busying in and out, and finally felt a sense of belonging.
If it were her, she would take the royalties without saying a word and move to the county town to rent a house.
But she happened to be in a book. While taking care of herself, she also had to consider the other two children who were stranded outside. She could not leave here until all the children were found. What if one of the children ran away and was found back?
After she had stabilized the newspaper, let the newspaper see her ability and increase her royalties, she would use the newspaper's connections to find out about other children who were stranded outside.
You need money to raise a child. Now the money is not enough for the mother and daughter to spend. Even if we find the child, they will be left with nothing, so there is no need to rush.
What she is anxious about now is how to legalize the newspaper's income.
No one would believe that an uneducated person could suddenly write a best-selling novel. Although others had no way to verify anything, in order to avoid being criticized, it would be better for her to hide her identity and write novels under a pseudonym.
So what she needs to do now is to find a legitimate source of income and make the royalties from her novels public.
At least she had to make others think that she had legitimate income, and that buying new clothes for Gu Yi, improving the family's meals, and improving living conditions were all because of that income, so that people would not misunderstand that her income came from an unknown source.
