The second time she went to Fang's house, she also played three rounds of Go, and was defeated by Fang Zheng without a single move left.

This person has a strong desire to win. After winning three games in a row, Ma Xiao showed a happy smile.

It seems that since I have won three games against him so far, he still cares a lot. It's good that he cares, otherwise he won't care.

Ou Sumei secretly told her that Fang Zheng had been studying the moves of Gobang these days, and often asked her and Fang Zhihai to play together.

It was like he was possessed by a demon. The guy kept neglecting his food and sleep, and she was worried. Before his previous illness was cured, he had contracted another one.

The good thing is that he was immersed in studying Go and his mood became more and more stable. He did not get excited and throw things or smash the wall in the past few days.

This is a good phenomenon.

Moreover, Fang Zhihai now calls him every morning when he goes jogging. From being reluctant on the first day, he now gets up consciously to go for morning exercise.

The Fang couple seemed to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

After Fang Zheng won three games against her, his curiosity about Gobang was completely gone.

He invited Gu Qinghuan to play Go with him, but he liked Go more than playing Go.

Although Gu Qinghuan knew a little bit about Go, she was really a poor player who was too embarrassed to show her skills to others. Naturally, she couldn't tell anyone about it, otherwise she would not be able to keep her face as a "doctor" and Go teacher.

My mind raced for a few times and I came up with an idea.

"I'm a little busy lately. How about this, if you want to play Go, my brother can accompany you. He has learned Go from my grandfather for many years and is pretty good at it."

This is true. Gu Lanting has been learning Go since he was a child. Zhong Weiqian started teaching him Go when he was five years old.

Ou Sumei simply strongly supports her son to go out of the house. In the past few days, she has followed Gu Qinghuan's instructions, occasionally directing Fang Zheng to help with housework, playing chess with him when she is free, and going out for a walk.

Fang Zheng's performance is really much better than before. Although he is still immersed in his own world and doesn't like to talk to people, at least he doesn't lose his temper at every turn.

As a result, the mother and son became frequent visitors to Gu Qinghuan's home.

Gu Lanting knew that this older brother was his sister's "noble", so he naturally cooperated when she asked him to play chess with her.

Although Fang Zheng was much older than Gu Lanting, they actually felt a sense of mutual respect and were well matched when it came to playing chess.

Whenever he had time, he would go straight to Gu's house, and even asked his mother, Ou Sumei, to bring some gifts. Sometimes the mother and son would stay for a whole day and have a meal together.

Ou Sumei also got to taste the dishes cooked by Gu Qinghuan as she wished.

She originally thought that Xu Huaian's words were just a reflection of the fact that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and that he thought his wife was good in every way.

I didn’t expect that what Xu Huai’an said was actually true. This little girl, Gu Qinghuan, has amazing cooking skills and can cook all kinds of cuisines with ease.

Not only pot-baked pork, but also Northeastern cuisine and Beijing cuisine are no problem for her.

Ou Sumei couldn't help but feel sorry for him. Gu Qinghuan looked like a fairy who was not affected by worldly affairs. She was also capable and had no problem dealing with the ways of the world at home and outside. She was truly a wonderful person.

It would be better if you didn’t get married!

She will definitely act as a matchmaker for her son.

Even though such things happened to the Gu and Zhong families, the merits outweigh the flaws. Gu Qinghuan is outstanding enough in himself, and nothing else really matters. A family like them doesn't need any more embellishments.

Cherish, cherish!

I heard from Lao Fang that Gu Qinghuan was from a rural background, what a pity.

Ou Sumei was not the only one who felt sorry for the incident. Xiao Fengying, who lived nearby, also felt the same way.

Why is Gu Qinghuan so pessimistic that he wants to get married so early?

She has been coming here quite often recently. Her son and Qu Han are in Wen class, so she has no one to accompany her and is stuck at home all day.

Being with those ladies, they either gossip about family matters or go shopping and play mahjong, which is quite boring.

There are young people and children in Gu's house, and there is laughter and joy. She likes the atmosphere of Gu's house very much, it is very comfortable. People of this age all like to have a lively and noisy environment!

Gu Qinghuan didn't treat her as an outsider at all. Several people, including Ming Ruxue and Zhong Luoxi, worked together to make winter vegetables.

The most common crops grown in Wu's mother's field are radishes and cabbages, which are also the two vegetables she often eats during the winter.

Cabbage can be pickled and also made into spicy cabbage.

Radishes can be soaked in water, pickled into slices, or dried and eaten together, which is also delicious.

The wisdom of the working people is inexhaustible.

Zhong Luoxi and Gu Lanting had no doubts about Gu Qinghuan's sudden decision to do this. After all, they had been away from home for a year and had no other choice due to financial constraints.

Gu Qinghuan took a few children to pick radishes and sing at the same time.

“Pull the radishes, pull the radishes, hey hey hey, pull the radishes, hey hey hey, I can’t pull them out…” After singing it twice, Dabao and Beibei were able to sing along with the tune.

You Ran couldn't sing, but she was very enthusiastic in picking radishes, and her face and hands were covered in mud.

Ou Sumei and Xiao Fengying helped chop the cabbage and picked off the rotten leaves on the surface.

For the two ladies who never had anything to do with women, this was the first time they had sex, so it was quite interesting.

Although the two had never met before, they found that the other party was quite to their liking through conversation and they had a pleasant conversation.

Ming Ruxue and Zhong Luoxing filled a large basin of warm water and sat in the yard to wash the freshly unearthed vegetables.

The two people playing chess in the study on the first floor saw the lively scene outside through the bright glass window, and their faces were filled with smiles.

Gu Qinghuan directed everyone to work in an orderly manner according to each person's strengths.

Soon the pickled cabbage and pickled radish slices were ready.

This is eaten by horses, but the taste is not that good. It needs to be left for a few days to become more flavorful.

Everyone took chopsticks to taste the fruits of their morning labor.

“Mm, it’s delicious.”

“This pickled radish tastes so good. It removes the astringent taste of radish very well, leaving only the unique sweetness. It tastes even better with other seasonings.” Xiao Fengying gave a fair evaluation.

"Sister, you have such deft hands. Everything you make tastes delicious. How can I live without you?" Such wonderful flattery came from Ming Ruxue.

Dabao, Beibei and Youran looked at the radishes and kimchi in the pot with eager eyes.

For lunch at noon, Gu Qinghuan simply had a pickled vegetable meeting.

I cooked a big pot of rice, paired it with the pickled vegetables I had just pickled today, and the chili sauce I had fried earlier. It was simply the perfect match for the rice, tastier than the meat, and not greasy.

After lunch, Gu Lanting and Fangzheng stopped playing chess and came over to help.

Gu Qinghuan prepared several medium-sized jars to pickle sauerkraut and spicy cabbage.

There are also a few transparent small jars for pickling radishes, but the radishes are not dried yet.

Pickling sauerkraut is a physically demanding job, but fortunately, with the help of two men, it was quickly completed.

The radish cut into strips needs to be dried in the sun until it is half dry, and then it can be made into dried radish.

It was a hassle to cut so many radishes into strips and dry them in the sun. Fortunately, there were many people, so we worked together and finished it quickly.

When they left in the evening, Gu Qinghuan gave Xiao Fengying and Ou Sumei two jars of pickled vegetables each.

A jar of pickled radish slices and a jar of spicy cabbage can be eaten quickly. As for soaked radishes, sauerkraut and dried radishes, they will take some time to be prepared.

The two of them did not mind giving up, and they liked the fruits of their labor no matter how they looked at them.

Xiao Fengying waited until Xiao Zhuo came to pick her up, and then directed Xiao Zhuo to help carry the pickled vegetables back home.

Ou Sumei also asked Fang Zheng to help her carry a jar, and she carried one jar herself, and went home happily.

These days are so fulfilling.

It's true, this kind of socializing is more to her liking than her previous socializing with other ladies. It's really natural. Although she is a little tired, she is very happy. She sleeps better after working out, and even her recent insomnia has been cured.

Fang Zheng is the same. The benefit of regular exercise is that he no longer has to stay up all night and bother others.

While doing this, Gu Qinghuan was thinking about Xujiatun. He wondered if anyone had helped to harvest the vegetables at home, to make sure they were not destroyed by people or animals. Xu Huaian had worked very hard to grow them before.

Xu Lei's daughter-in-law is called Xia Lian. She pushed her bicycle and personally delivered nearly 100 kilograms of pastries.

In fact, she was quite nervous before coming, because after all, she had done Xu Lei a favor, and it was such a great favor.

So she felt that it was her duty to make some cakes to thank the customer, and she shouldn't charge him for it.

But making these cakes bought her a lot of good things and food, not just a little bit after all.

So she was torn, not knowing whether to accept it or not, even though Xu Lei said that the other party would definitely not be short of her money.

When Xia Lian met Gu Qinghuan in person, she finally understood what Xu Lei meant.

This girl is really beautiful and kind, and her words and actions make people feel like spring breeze.

She secretly thought that it would be better not to charge them. The deposit before the sale was enough for her to recover some of the costs. She made up her mind and her steps became lighter.

Gu Qinghuan invited her in to sit for a while, and made her some homemade honey grapefruit tea to warm her body, and also gave her a small hand warmer to hold in her hand.

"Auntie, it's so cold, you must be tired from pushing all the way here, take a rest."

Listening to these words, it made her feel that it was worth the effort. Xia Lian smiled softly, took a sip of the warm water, and felt warm inside.
