Chapter 100 I like him, and I like you too
He Jinglan wanted to continue asking questions when she heard Mu Nanzhao coughing lightly from the inner room.
Several people's attention was immediately drawn to it, and they all walked to the bedside.
Meng Chengping asked eagerly, "Are you awake? How do you feel? Do you feel any pain?"
Mu Nanzhao shook his head slightly on the pillow, "Everything is fine."
He looked past the three people in front of the bed and met Gu Xixi's eyes. "I'm just thirsty. I want to drink some sugar tea."
Gu Xixi turned around to pour tea, and Meng Chengping and He Jinghui naturally moved to let Gu Xixi sit next to the bed.
Mu Nanzhao stood up and leaned against the head of the bed, taking the tea bowl with both hands, "Thank you."
The tea was already warm enough to drink directly, and he drank half a bowl in one breath, which showed that he was really thirsty.
He Jinglan laughed and said, "How did you know we were drinking sugar tea?"
"It seems like he was pretending to sleep and eavesdropping on our conversation?"
Mu Nanzhao glanced at Gu Xixi and said uncomfortably, "You guys were discussing me so loudly that I was woken up even though I wanted to sleep. Why bother eavesdropping?"
Speaking of this, the He brothers and sisters were all very excited.
He Jinglan said with relief, "A Zhao, I never thought you would be able to adapt so well to living in the countryside!"
"I was worried that you wouldn't be able to fit in and would suffer!"
He Jinghui said regretfully, "If I hadn't had to return to Beijing as soon as possible, I would have really wanted to see with my own eyes how you chopped wood, carried water, took care of the children, drove the cart, swept the fields, and fed the mules and horses."
Mu Nanzhao glared at He Jinghui and said, "Instead of envying me, why not experience it yourself?"
"The projects that Mr. He mentioned will only take one day."
He Jinghui's eyes narrowed into crescents, "Hey, I still have to trouble you to arrange it. I think it doesn't need to be so troublesome."
"What?" Mu Nanzhao sneered, "Don't dare?"
"Don't brag to others anymore. If you want to do something, there is nothing you can't do."
He Jinghui glared, "Who said I don't dare! It's just some rough work!"
Mu Nanzhao raised his eyebrows, "Try it?"
He Jinghui snorted and laughed, "Just give it a try! How can I, He Jinghui, be worse than you?"
…
He Jinglan smiled softly to Gu Xixi, "My brother and A Zhao have been like this since they were young."
"A Zhao only knows how to bicker with my brother like this."
Gu Xixi nodded and said, "The relationship between the two of them seems to be very good."
As soon as the words fell, Mu Nanzhao and He Jinghui refuted in unison:
"Who has a good relationship with him?"
Gu Xixi, He Jinglan and Meng Chengping exchanged glances.
Meng Chengping said, "With this much tacit understanding, how can you say that the relationship is bad?"
The sky outside was already getting light, and the most dangerous night was over.
The three men had something else to discuss.
Gu Xixi was not interested in these, so she said she wanted to go to the kitchen to see if there was anything else to eat.
"Xixi, let's go together!" He Jinglan walked while affectionately holding Gu Xixi's arm.
Meng Chengping saw the two girls go out and immediately gossiped, "Brother Mu, aren't you afraid of leaving them alone?"
He Jinghui also suddenly realized, "Yes, now I have sold myself to Madam Gu, although it was only sold for one penny."
He paused, trying hard to hold back his laughter, "But no matter what, you are already a man."
"What about my sister?"
"Let me be frank with you. My sister must never share a husband with anyone else!"
"What are you talking about?" Mu Nanzhao frowned, "What nonsense are you all talking about?!"
"If you two have nothing else to say, get out of here."
Meng Chengping and He Jinghui looked at each other and finally couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.
There is a large kitchen in the front yard of the farm.
The two girls rummaged through the boxes and drawers and found all kinds of vegetables, dried goods, sausages, bacon, etc.
There are various seasonings in the cupboard and the water tank is filled with clean water.
He Jinglan rolled up her sleeves, as if she was going to get down to work, "Then let's cook!"
Gu Xixi blinked, "Can you cook?"
He Jinglan tilted her head, "I can't."
Gu Xixi smiled, "I don't know how to do that either."
She paused, "I thought you would do it."
He Jinglan said, "When my mother was making soup for my father, I often helped her."
So among the two people present, neither of them can cook.
Gu Xixi changed her mind and said, "Let's find something that can be eaten directly."
Luckily, they found a few packages of cakes on the top shelf of the cupboard.
Hawthorn Guokui, thousand-layer sugar cakes, fried salty small noodles, crystal nut cakes...
The two were so hungry that when they saw food, they immediately grabbed it and started eating.
He Jinglan swallowed and said, "Don't worry about them for now. Let's eat first and then send it to them."
Gu Xixi agreed, "Well, they still need to talk, so let's wait."
It would be a bit choking to eat the cakes alone. The teapot used for boiling tea last night was still there, so Gu Xixi added some water and continued to boil it.
After eating and drinking his fill, He Jinglan breathed a sigh of relief.
"You just told me that there was nothing between you and A Zhao? Did I take it seriously?"
Gu Xixi was a little sleepy after eating, so she made a lazy gesture of invitation and said, "Just take it seriously."
He Jinglan turned to face her, "I like A Zhao."
"Ah?" Gu Xixi's sleepiness instantly disappeared.
Confession?!
Is this girl asserting her sovereignty? How should she respond?
He Jinglan's eyes were candid and her expression was serious, "Since I was little, I always thought I would marry him."
"I thought he was dead last year. I regretted not telling my parents about my feelings earlier. I have no chance in this life."
"Before coming to the northwest this time, my eldest brother told me that A Zhao was still alive, but he was bought by a girl and was already her man."
Gu Xixi said awkwardly, "There is absolutely nothing between him and me."
He Jinglan nodded, "I know. I saw it when I saw you and A Zhao."
She said seriously, "We have known each other for less than a day, but I like Zhao, and I like you too."
"So I've thought about it!"
Gu Xixi was inexplicably nervous and swallowed, "What have you thought of?"
He Jinglan said, "If you hadn't bought him, I might never see him again in my life."
"So the first come first served cannot be calculated based on time. You should be first."
Gu Xixi broke out in a cold sweat. This girl is quite well-behaved.
He Jinglan continued, "I'll ask you one definite question. If you have any interest in him, even if it's just a little bit at the moment, or you're still unsure, I will never interfere."
"If you really don't mean it, then I won't be polite anymore."
For some reason, Gu Xixi suddenly found it difficult to speak.
She clenched her hand holding the tea bowl, "...No."
Outside the kitchen.
He Jinghui and Meng Chengping looked at Mu Nanzhao at the same time.
They had just come over to get some food when they heard the last conversation between the two girls.
He Jinghui said, "This girl dares to say anything and doesn't know how to be reserved," while glancing at Mu Nanzhao's reaction.
As brothers and as men, they all saw it.
Mu Nanzhao was obviously not happy.
