Chapter 177 Inviting Zhang Shaoqing, Fang Yun, and Guo Yingying to be guests
"They are willing to do this. If the country wants to develop, sacrifices are inevitable."
"Let's not talk about them. In the future, if you and I need to sacrifice, I believe you will make the same choice, because we all love this land and our country." Xie Yuanxiang saw Su Zi's depression and patted Su Zi's shoulder to calm her down.
Su Zi took a deep breath. She felt sorry for those who made silent contributions, but just as Xie Yuanxiang said, if the country needed her, would she back off?
She believed that she wouldn't.
"I understand, Uncle Xie."
She will definitely work hard to bring back more useful things to make the country stronger and reduce the sacrifices of these soldiers!
…
Dragon country.
But just when she really wanted to achieve something, she had no inspiration at all.
Su Zi is in this state now. She has been working hard for a few days, but now she is caught in internal friction and is in a state of irritability every day.
Whether it was Su Yuehe and others in Long Country, or Yuan Ren and Xie Yuanxiang in Xia Country, they all saw that she was pushing herself too hard, and they all suggested that she take a vacation and rest.
This internal friction really made Su Zi have no inspiration and motivation to create a new program.
Therefore, Su Zi took up the job of inviting guests.
Although it is only the eleventh day of the first lunar month, the hardworking people in the village have already started plowing the fields, preparing to start farming after the Lantern Festival.
The land in front of and behind the house was empty after the New Year, and all the vegetables that could be picked were taken away by their parents, leaving some for themselves and some for others. These original, home-grown vegetables were very popular in the city.
Looking at the bare land, Su Zi flipped through his address book and invited Zhang Shaoqing, Fang Yun, and Guo Yingying to be his guests.
The three of them agreed readily.
Guo Yingying was particularly quick to reply to messages. As soon as Su Zi sent the message, she replied with an OK.
She was very quick and efficient and came that same evening.
Hearing the knock on the door, Guo Yingying jumped out from the side, "Susu! Surprise!"
Su Zi thought it was a neighbor from the village. When he opened the door and saw Guo Yingying, he was so surprised. "Sister Yingying, why are you here so fast?"
She hugged Guo Yingying.
"I have nothing to do anyway, and I'm not far from you, so I'll come a little earlier and have an extra meal tomorrow."
The two separated, and Su Zi reached out to take the suitcase from her hand. Looking at the suitcase that was almost half a person's height, she joked, "Sister Yingying, you have such a big suitcase, you don't want to stay here, do you?"
"That's exactly what I meant." After saying that, Guo Yingying couldn't help laughing first.
When other people heard the sound, they came over and greeted Guo Yingying.
Guo Yingying responded and walked in with everyone. Seeing that everyone was still eating, she did not despise them and asked Su Zi to get her a pair of bowls and chopsticks. She started eating freely. Everyone was familiar with each other and there was no sense of strangeness in getting along with each other.
Bai Youyou and Ni Ruoan were acting funny and made Guo Yingying laugh until tears came out.
The next day, when Zhang Shaoqing and Fang Yun arrived, everyone started working on the land in front of the house, except Bai Youyou who had to go to film early in the morning.
"Why don't you wait for us?" Zhang Shaoqing spoke, and everyone noticed his and Fang Yun's presence.
"We have already dug most of the ground while we wait for you." Guo Yingying responded with a smile.
Su Zi wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"
"No, I'm saving my stomach for coming here to eat. When I watched your videos before, what I craved the most was the noodles you cooked in the morning." Fang Yun said generously.
Well, Su Zi took off his gloves resignedly, "Let's go, you guys came at the right time, we had noodles this morning, the grandma in the village gave us a bunch of pea tips, they are delicious when cooked in noodles."
Zhang Shaoqing and Fang Yun followed happily, pulling their suitcases.
In less than ten minutes, they had the hot noodles.
It was filled with tender pea tips, a topping made of fried bean curd and dried tofu, and served with sauerkraut, pickled radish, and fried peanuts. The two of them were so full of it that they couldn't bear to even lift their heads.
After finishing a bowl of noodles, sweat appeared on the tips of their noses and foreheads.
“I finally got to eat it. It tastes just as good as I imagined.” Fang Yun said, patting his stomach.
I felt guilty in my heart and decided to increase my training intensity tomorrow after this meal.
He now cares about his appearance, for he is afraid that if he acts recklessly he will go back to his old ways.
"There's hot water in the pot, wash your own dishes, I'll get busy."
"Go ahead, we'll wash the dishes and come back."
Seeing Su Zi coming down, Guo Yingying asked her: "What are you going to plant on this land?"
“Grow sunflowers.”
Suzi plans to tidy up the land in front of the house and plant edible sunflowers on it, which can be used for viewing and harvesting seeds, killing two birds with one stone.
When Su Yuehe and the others heard Su Zi's plan, they agreed wholeheartedly.
Guo Yingying stood up and looked around, and the image of a field full of sunflowers appeared in her mind.
"Remember to call me when the flowers bloom," she said.
"It's not a big deal. Not only will the flowers bloom, but when the seeds are harvested, I'll leave some for you, too."
At least Guo Yingying contributed.
"What kind of melon seeds?"
Zhang Shaoqing came over and heard these words.
Just as Su Zi was about to explain, Guo Yingying interrupted her, "Don't tell them, and give me their share when the time comes."
Guo Yingying's expression was very proud.
"Su Zi, don't listen to Sister Yingying and don't favor one over the other." Zhang Shaoqing refused.
Su Zi smiled helplessly and shook his head slightly, "You two can argue and decide the winner first, I have to get to work."
"Young Master, you must respect the old and love the young." Guo Yingying said earnestly, if her brows were not raised so high with pride.
"Sister, you have to be kind." Zhang Shaoqing missed Han Chen and Chen Sheng so much now. With them around, Guo Yingying wouldn't bully him alone.
"Hmm~" Guo Yingying snorted softly.
Fang Yun on the side had already started working silently with a hoe.
With so many people around, the land in front of the house was turned over and leveled by 11 o'clock. Standing on the edge of the field and looking at the flat field, everyone felt a sense of satisfaction.
Su Zi, who was inexplicably anxious and had to arrange for himself to rest for some time, finally calmed down.
The land really has the power to soothe people. At least when Su Zi was working on it, there was nothing in his mind.
"Su Zi, what are you going to eat for lunch?" Guo Yingying asked the question that everyone was concerned about.
"Mapo tofu, green pepper stuffed with meat, shredded radish pancakes. I stewed lamb chops this morning, and I'll make some hot pepper dip to go with them later."
"How about adding a bowl of pea tip meatball soup and scrambled eggs with grandma's vegetables?"
Fang Yun started drooling just by hearing Su Zi reading the names of the dishes.
Zhang Shaoqing said directly: "That's great!"
Guo Yingying and Su Yuehe had even less objections.
Everybody agreed, so Su Zi started to get ready and arranged the food preparation to make sure everyone had something to do. She was the chef, and all the dishes were on the table around twelve o'clock. The sun was shining brightly at noon, so they didn't move the meal into the house and ate in the yard.
After doing physical work in the morning, everyone was already hungry. They concentrated on eating for a while, and then gradually slowed down the speed at which they picked up food.
"The last time I came, it was the wrap-up of our variety show, and we had hot pot together. The hot pot base we used at that time didn't have Su Zi's cooking. I've been thinking about it, wondering when I can try the dishes you cook."
