Chapter 182 Male Green Tea Speech
Gu Xixi's face immediately darkened, "Are you spreading rumors with all your might?"
"I advise you to stop here. After all, you have been together for so long, so keep some dignity."
Mu Nanzhao refused to give in and blocked her way again.
"You hit me just now, was it intentional?"
Gu Xixi sneered and said disdainfully, "Anyway, the fight has already happened, so think whatever you want."
She did do it on purpose, so what?
Master Liu said that there were shadow guards secretly protecting the village.
Wouldn't it be a waste if we allowed a thief to come in and rummage through your things in broad daylight?
So when Gu Xixi didn't notice any unusual movement outside her house, she guessed that it was Mu Nanzhao who came back.
Using a hoe to catch a thief is a pretext, beating people to vent anger is the real purpose.
At this time, An Qinghe ran around but couldn't find anyone, so he walked towards the west room, "Strange, Auntie said Xixi is at home."
Just now, when he was about to get home, he met Aunt Zhang going out with a basket of vegetables.
Aunt Zhang said happily that she was going to the field to pick some green onions and coriander, and only told him that Xixi was at home and the door was not locked.
But when I got home, the door was open but the person was nowhere to be found.
As An Qinghe walked, he looked around and said to himself, "Chen Fang is gone, isn't this room locked? Could Xixi be here?"
In the west room, Gu Xixi insisted on leaving, and Mu Nanzhao suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled up her right hand.
"You did all this just to get rid of me, for Anqing and that Westerner?"
Gu Xixi felt pain and frowned, but she endured the pain and said, "I don't understand what you are talking about!"
"Besides..."
She said in a deep voice, "You know so much about it just after you came back. It seems that your people have helped you to monitor me. They even reported to you in a timely manner when my business partner moved into my house."
"And Mr. Liu, who used his identity as a teacher as a cover, took advantage of the children in the village school."
Gu Xixi's eyes were filled with irony, "Did you arrange all this to protect me?"
Mu Nanzhao's pupils suddenly shrank, "So in your heart, I am so unscrupulous."
Gu Xixi looked at him without flinching and sneered, "What else?"
For some reason, Mu Nanzhao's eyes dimmed and he slowly loosened his grip on Gu Xixi's hand.
Gu Xixi pulled her hand away at the right time and quickly distanced herself from him.
An Qinghe walked to the door of the west room and found it open, so he immediately stepped in with a smile.
He held out a long string of rice cakes in his hand, "Dangdangdangdang! Xixi, look what this is!"
"I came across the chagao you like at the market, and asked the boss to cut a piece with the most red dates!"
As soon as he finished speaking, An Qinghe moved away the forked cake and saw two people standing confronting each other in the room.
"Xixi, what are you doing..."
"Eh? Brother Chen, why are you back?"
Mu Nanzhao said coldly, "Why, shouldn't I come back?"
"Or maybe for some people, I came back at the wrong time."
An Qinghe was puzzled and said, "It's not a matter of right or wrong."
"Since Xixi bought you, this place is your home. You should come back anytime you want."
He smiled and asked for Gu Xixi's opinion, "Don't you think so, Xixi?"
Although An Qinghe was happy, he kept everything clear and did not have any complicated thoughts.
But the more this happened, the more Mu Nanzhao's sarcasm failed and he was hit in the sore spot.
"What did you say?" Mu Nanzhao's expression was cold and seemed a little scary.
"She bought me, so you can configure the beak?"
Gu Xixi was shocked when she saw his right hand reaching for his waist. Thinking that there was a bloody soft sword hidden there, she immediately took a few steps forward and stood in front of An Qinghe.
"Don't forget what you really should do!"
An Qinghe didn't know what was going on, but he could sense that the atmosphere at the moment was wrong.
"Xixi, what's wrong with you? Did I do something wrong and make Brother Chen unhappy?"
Mu Nanzhao just stared at Gu Xixi.
After a moment of stalemate, when he lowered his eyes, Gu Xixi actually saw a look of hurt in his eyes.
She was startled, and before she could think about it, she heard Mu Nanzhao say:
"No wonder I need you two to discuss my stay or departure. It seems like you have a close relationship."
"You can really do this to protect him."
Gu Xixi just looked at Mu Nanzhao without saying anything.
Mu Nanzhao suddenly said in a cold voice, "Get out."
He raised his eyes and looked at the two people in front of him, his eyes were indifferent and empty.
"The court does not return the prisoners who were sold for marriage. Do I still have some rights to use this house?"
Gu Xixi grabbed An Qinghe's arm and dragged him out of the west room.
Inside the main room, there were large and small bags on the table, all of which An Qinghe had bought in the county town.
Gu Xixi sat at the table without saying a word, while An Qinghe circled around her holding a fork of cake.
To make cha gao, steam the glutinous rice and mash it until soft. Spread it thickly in a mold and flatten it. Then put a layer of red dates on it, and then continue to put glutinous rice, and so on. Usually three or four layers of glutinous rice are enough.
Finally, they are steamed until the red dates are soft and mushy, then taken to the market to sell.
Cut into long triangles and use thin bamboo sticks to pierce them like candied haws. When viewed from the side, the thick snow-white glutinous rice cake is sandwiched with layers of reddish-brown dates.
Buy a piece while shopping, hold the lower end of the bamboo stick, and eat while walking. It is very convenient and you don’t have to worry about getting your hands dirty.
An Qinghe smiled and said, "Don't you like to eat this? Why don't you take a bite before it gets hard?"
Gu Xixi forced a smile, "Thank you, I'm not hungry yet."
"Leave it there until it's heated up at noon, and then we can eat it together."
She thought that after beating Mu Nanzhao up and confronting him in person to vent her anger, the frustration that had accumulated recently should be released.
But it didn't, she seemed to feel even worse.
An Qinghe looked at the forked cake and said, "It's really a big piece. I wanted to invite Brother Chen to eat with us, but he seemed to be in a bad mood and didn't want to be disturbed."
Gu Xixi was suddenly amused. "Your remarks really sound like a green tea. Fortunately, I know you are just an idiot."
After An Qinghe thought he had mastered it, he heard the "Daye language" that he could not understand.
He frowned in confusion, "Green tea? Natural?"
"Xixi, you are thirsty. Do you want to stay here and drink green tea?"
Gu Xixi laughed out loud, even tears came out of the corners of her eyes.
Gu Xixi took the tools and the medicines and fertilizers she prepared and went out again.
The tea garden at the foot of the mountain was still waiting for her.
No matter what kind of turmoil had just happened, it could not stop her from farming.
An Qinghe grabbed the bucket, scissors and other tools, saying that he wanted to help Gu Xixi carry these heavy things.
Seeing that he was determined to go, Gu Xixi was too lazy to say anything more and just followed him.
As soon as the two of them walked out of the yard, the door of the west room opened.
Mu Nanzhao looked at the empty doorway, his eyes dark and unclear.
I just heard her laughter.
Would that An Qinghe make her so happy?
Maybe he shouldn't have come back this time at all.
Instead, she became wary and disgusted with him, thinking he was monitoring her every move.
