Chapter 439 This is Xixi's man
Gu Xixi talked about the circumstances of finding the two children and the reason why she asked about it.
It turns out that Xiaoxiu'er and Doudou both have three generations living under one roof.
There is my mother, my grandmother, and three or four younger brothers and sisters in my family.
There are many mouths to feed.
The whole family was not hungry, but they just couldn't eat whatever they wanted.
The child didn't understand anything else, he only knew that his grandmother and mother were always very careful with their cooking, for fear of leaving too much food.
The oats were recently harvested, and they remembered that last year they all went to the army's fields to pick wheat.
Go earlier and you can pick up more.
Now that there is more food at home, my mother doesn’t have to worry so much.
So the two of them made an agreement the day before and decided to sneak out and meet each other before dawn today.
Wait until the sun rises and then come back.
But they ultimately misjudged the distance of the journey and had an inadequate concept of time.
Gu Xixi said, "They walked a long way carrying the empty baskets."
"After picking up so many ears of wheat, he must be very tired, so he fell asleep under the haystack."
"That small area was shady and cool, and a few soldiers from the army were helping to look for people. When they passed by there, they saw the two people sleeping soundly and peacefully, and they almost didn't see them."
Everyone laughed when they heard it.
Dou Dou's mother and Xiu'er's mother looked at their daughter and felt touched and distressed that the child had grown up so early, but also felt a little embarrassed.
But this apology is towards other people in the dependent village.
Because the wheat picking activity started for the first time last year, it was assumed that the whole village was required to go together.
After all, it is a benefit reserved for all dependents in the military, and it must be as fair as possible so that everyone has a share.
So everyone goes and returns together, without fighting or competing, and how much they pick up depends on each family's labor and ability.
But Xiu'er and Doudou went there early this year.
Xiu'er's mother said, "The child doesn't understand reason. It's my fault for not teaching her well."
Dou Dou Niang also nodded and said seriously, "Now that the wheat has been brought back, let's divide it among us."
Zaohua said with a smile, "How much can two little girls pick up in such a short time?"
"These two small baskets are what they worked so hard to get, so just keep them."
Others also echoed.
Xiu'er's mother and Dou Dou's mother looked at each other, but both insisted, "No."
The damselfly said, “We need to make them understand that this food originally belongs to everyone.”
“Don’t be too clever and think that if you get there early, whatever you pick up will be yours.”
"How is this different from stealing or robbing?"
Xiu'er and Doudou probably understood what was said and lowered their heads.
The women looked at each other, not knowing what else to say.
They are all little kids who grew up together.
Of course, we all hope that even if the children here don’t become nobles or prime ministers in the future, they can at least have good character.
At this time, Aunt Lin smiled and said, "I have a suggestion."
"These two baskets of wheat ears will be stored at my house for the time being. When we have finished harvesting our own oats, we should celebrate."
"How about setting up two big pots and stewing oat noodles and fish?"
As soon as this idea came out, everyone happily spoke freely.
"We can grind the newly harvested oats ourselves, use the millstone, fry them ourselves, make oat flour, and eat it together. What better way to celebrate than this?"
"I agree!"
"These two baskets are definitely not enough. Then we can collect one each from each family and eat from the same pot!"
The atmosphere was so lively that Aunt Lin did not let anyone down. "I made the stewed noodles at home. I took care of the vegetables and pork!"
Gu Xixi was the hero who found the child today. Everyone surrounded Gu Xixi and asked her to wait and participate.
Gu Xixi readily agreed.
After everyone laughed, they seemed to notice the man standing behind Gu Xixi and helping her bring back oats.
Before, when Gu Xixi and He Jinglan lived in the dependents’ village, Mu Nanzhao had also lived in the courtyard several times.
But he often came after dark and went to the military camp before dawn, and he never met the women in the village.
Therefore, everyone just looked at him as a stranger and didn't know who he was.
but……
I have never heard of a man in the army who looks so good.
The women's eyes moved back and forth between Gu Xixi and Mu Nanzhao, with some smiles on their faces.
Except for the children, everyone present was an experienced person and could tell at a glance that the atmosphere between the two people was unusual.
Aunt Lin smiled and said, "This gentleman has also helped a lot. I don't know how to address him as my benefactor."
The others nodded and stared at Mu Nanzhao with a smile.
These looks made Mu Nanzhao suddenly feel as if he had countless mothers-in-law.
He calmed himself down, bowed and was about to speak.
Gu Xixi took the lead and said calmly, "He is the Regent Mu Nanzhao."
It was so quiet around that I could hear the sound of wind blowing.
The family members were all stunned.
Gu Xixi turned to look at Mu Nanzhao, smiling, "Why are you surprised too?"
Mu Nanzhao silently moved his eyes away and looked elsewhere. After a moment, he said in a muffled voice, "First time."
"Accidents are unavoidable."
Although he had a tense face and didn't smile, his heart was secretly filled with joy.
One after another...
The flowers bloom more and more, and bloom faster and faster, and my heart is blossoming with joy!
Some of the military families gradually reacted and whispered:
"The Regent? The one who issued the notice to express his feelings?"
"Mu Nan...I remember his last name was Mu. That's right!"
"The notice said Gu, and the rumor in the market was that it was a wealthy lady named Gu. I thought at the time that it couldn't be the boss Gu we know."
"You can't possibly do that. The real owner is standing in front of us!"
The Regent’s notice was posted on the border about seven or eight days ago.
After receiving rewards from the court, everyone went to the nearby city to buy things and talked about it with great interest when they returned to the village.
It wasn't that long ago, so everyone is still impressed.
One is the regent.
A female with the surname Gu.
The two of them appeared together again at this moment.
What else is there to doubt?!
Boss Gu was admitting to everyone that she and this guy were a couple!
The women quickly integrated all the information in amazement.
Aunt Lin was the first to say with a beaming face, "Congratulations to the Regent! Congratulations to our Boss Gu!"
Everyone congratulated him.
Unexpectedly, the boss Gu they were familiar with was actually the heroine who was rumored to be on the notice.
Boss Gu has really made great progress!
Having the Regent admit to the whole world that he is "her man" is a role model for women.
The entire dependents' village was plunged into a joyful atmosphere.
It’s a pity that Lu Jing couldn’t catch this long-awaited show.
Later I heard that Lu Jing sighed, beat his chest and stamped his feet, cried and shook Gu Xixi, asking her to perform the scene again in front of him.
Northwest Army Camp.
Huo Jiang wanted to leave Beili people alone.
It was not until the next afternoon that someone was sent to invite the Rouran princess over for a chat.
"I have discussed this with the Regent."
"You want to further the friendship between our two countries. What do you intend to pay and what do you want to gain?"
"It is time to speak plainly."
"I will submit a petition to the imperial court, and the emperor of our Celestial Empire will make the final decision."
Princess Rouran crossed her arms and said solemnly, "The Third Princess of Beili is willing to marry Daye and conclude an alliance between the two countries."
"We already have a candidate."
