Lin Baixiang also guessed what happened to Chen Yitang and the others in the countryside, but looking at Chen Yitang's expression he knew that he had vented his anger, so he didn't ask any more questions.
"Mom, you're back." Goudan ran out from the backyard when he heard Zeng Wenjuan and the others' voices and happily rushed towards Zeng Wenjuan.
Zeng Wenjuan happily picked up Goudan. She smiled and asked, "Goudan, have you been obedient in Grandpa Lin and Grandma Hu's house these past two days? Have you made Grandma Hu angry?"
"Mom, I don't have any more. Grandma Lin is angry, but I'm a good boy." Goudan said like a spoiled child, and looked at Hu Guiying beside him, wanting Hu Guiying to say something good for him.
Hu Guiying received the signal and said to Zeng Wenjuan with a smile: "Goudan is very well-behaved. He can sit still and practice calligraphy and painting with me when he has nothing to do. He is also talented. If he starts to learn from me now, he will definitely achieve something in the future."
Zeng Wenjuan didn't expect her son to be so successful. She bowed her head slightly and praised Goudan, "I didn't expect my Goudan to be so smart and well-behaved. I'll give you a chicken drumstick as a reward when we get back."
"Thank you, mom. My grandma also made me new clothes. Do you think I look good in this? It's just like the one on TV." Goudan said happily while hugging Zeng Wenjuan's neck.
After hearing what Goudan said, Zeng Wenjuan noticed that Goudan was no longer wearing the same clothes as yesterday. Instead, he was wearing a pair of royal blue overalls, a plaid shirt, and a pair of small leather shoes.
"Auntie, how can I do this? Tell me how much this suit costs, and I'll give you the money. And these leather shoes look very expensive. How can I take them from you for free?"
Hu Guiying's face immediately turned stern when she heard Zeng Wenjuan's words: "You are the daughter of Lao Chen and Yi Ke, which means you are my goddaughter. What's wrong with me buying a pair of leather shoes for my god-grandson? This dress is made from my youngest son's clothes that have been altered to be smaller. If you don't mind, he has a few more clothes that he can't wear anymore. I have altered them for him too. You can take them back with you when you return."
"Nannan! Old Hu and Old Lin adopted you as their goddaughter as soon as you were born. Buy our Goudan a pair of leather shoes. It's nothing. I don't blame her for still wearing old clothes." Chen Yintang said bluntly while standing nearby.
Zeng Wenjuan had no choice but to agree after hearing what Chen Yitang said. She smiled and thanked Hu Guiying: "Thank you, auntie. This child changes every day. Most of the time, he is given three years of corrections and three years of old corrections."
"Okay, I'll pack it up for you later. Take it with you when you go back to the village. You haven't eaten yet after rushing back, right? I'll go to the kitchen and cook for you." Hu Guiying said happily as she looked at Zeng Wenjuan and Goudan.
Chen Yitang, who was sitting next to her, acted like a big boss and shouted at Hu Guiying without any politeness: "Cook me a bowl of noodles with a poached egg. I want a big portion. I didn't eat well yesterday."
"You are so rude. Who do you think you are? She is my wife, you can't order her around." Lin Baixiang was so angry that he was fuming.
"We were sworn brothers in the Peach Garden. I am your eldest brother. What's wrong with asking my younger sister to cook noodles for me? If you keep nagging me, I will ask my younger sister to beat you." Chen Yintang said bluntly.
After these words were spoken, Lin Baixiang could not say anything else. After all, when they first joined the Red Army, they did worship in front of the peach tree.
…
…
Hu Guiying quickly prepared the meal. The noodles had already been cooked and were waiting to be put into the pot. Hu Guiying shouted to the medicine hall outside: "Hurry up and wash your hands and come over to eat!"
Chen Yitang greeted Zeng Wenjuan without any politeness: "Nannan, let's go and try your aunt Hu's cooking. Her cooking skills were all taught to her by me, her father. When I first met her, she was still a delicate young lady."
Zeng Wenjuan stood up when she heard Hu Guiying's words. She took Goudan and followed Chen Yitang to the backyard. After hearing Chen Yitang's words, Zeng Wenjuan was a little surprised. But after thinking about his craftsmanship, she felt that this was normal.
As soon as I arrived at the backyard kitchen, I saw two large bowls of white noodles on the table, and a small bowl with half a bowl of noodles.
"Those two bowls are for you two adults, and this small bowl is for Goudan. He drank a cup of milk powder this morning. I thought he must be hungry now, so I made a bowl for him. You guys eat yours, and I'll feed him." Hu Guiying greeted with a smile.
Seeing Chen Yitang sitting on the chair, Zeng Wenjuan sat in front of another bowl of noodles and said to Hu Guiying, "Aunt Hu, Goudan is a big boy now. He can eat by himself and you don't need to feed him."
"It's okay. I'm willing to take care of the child for him. I'm happy about it. This little guy looks exactly like you when you were a child. So cute." Hu Guiying happily fed Goudan noodles while talking to Zeng Wenjuan.
Chen Yitang ate two mouthfuls of noodles and was half full. He then looked up and said to Zeng Wenjuan, "You will start the autumn harvest tomorrow. You need to buy anything you need at home. Think about it now, and we will go out and buy it together later."
"Brother, you have already recognized Wenjuan. Why don't you transfer his household registration to the city? That way he can avoid Qiu Sheng. The autumn harvest is so hard. Men have to work hard, let alone women." After hearing what Chen Yintang said, Hu Guiying was a little unhappy.
Chen Yitang spread his hands and said helplessly: "I do want to take her home and let her mother meet her, but this girl doesn't want to, so I have no choice but to let her go."
"Wenjuan! It's good to have a city household registration. Others want it but don't have it yet! Your father can also arrange a job for you. Then you can eat government food and you don't have to work so hard." Hu Guiying persuaded.
"Aunt, I don't think I'm working hard. Autumn harvest is the root of farmers. I'm debt-free now, and I'm thinking that after the autumn harvest, I will take Goudan to the army to find my man." Zeng Wenjuan also has her own ideas. People think that one should do one's job as a monk does.
She also felt that as long as I planted the seed, I would be the one to reap the fruit.
Seeing that she couldn't persuade Zeng Wenjuan, Hu Guiying had to give up and fed Goudan noodles slowly, asking from time to time: "Are you full, Goudan? If not, I'll go make you two more bowls."
"I'm full. This noodle is delicious, and the eggs are fragrant too." Goudan nodded obediently, dragged the bottom of the bowl again, and pushed me towards Wu Guiying's mouth: "Grandma, eat too."
