Chapter 122 The Dust Settles
Gu Yunyi glanced at the crowd and found nothing. He then glanced at County Lieutenant Liu and bowed to the onlookers: "My fellow villagers, what happened today was truly a helpless move. Now that things have come to this, I hope you will not publicize this matter too much."
Everyone just waved their hands and said they would not talk nonsense.
This move of Gu Yunyi not only made it possible for the people behind the scenes to get rid of the accusation of unfilial piety against him, but also made Gu Yunyi's reputation even worse.
Although everyone nodded in agreement, there were still a lot of comments outside, but they were all praising the Gu family. No one said that Gu Yunyi was unfilial anymore.
However, no matter how turbulent the outside world is, the Gu family restaurant is as peaceful as ever.
Although Gu Yunyi handled the matter very well, He still scolded him harshly. After all, relocating the grave was such a big deal, but he did it alone quietly without even informing her and Meng Niang. This made He very sad. She felt that her son had grown up, and she was no longer the head of the family.
Gu Yunyi knew he was in the wrong, so he just smiled and said nothing, letting He scold him for a long time, and even hit him a few times. Only then did He feel relieved and snorted coldly: "From now on, all the housework at home will be handed over to you, and the pots and pans are all yours."
Gu Yunyi rubbed the place where he was hit and quickly nodded in agreement, which made Xu Qingmeng and others beside him cover their mouths and laugh.
Now that the matter was resolved, everyone in the Gu family breathed a sigh of relief and returned to their daily lives.
The next day, Gu Yunyi came back from outside, entered the yard, and went straight to the kitchen. Xu Qingmeng was preparing lunch.
Now that the Gu family restaurant is on the right track, Xu Qingmeng doesn't need to do anything. He, Sister-in-law Tang, and Aunt Li can handle it. They only need to visit Jinxiuxuan occasionally.
Xu Qingmeng no longer had to worry about what happened before. As her appetite returned, she planned to make something delicious at noon as a reward for herself and to calm her nerves from recent events.
The two children went out to play. Xinting was still in Jinxiuxuan and would not be back at noon. So only Xu Qingmeng was in the kitchen at this moment.
Seeing Gu Yunyi coming in, Xu Qingmeng said, "It just so happens that you can help me watch the fire, and I won't get involved."
She was holding a basin in one hand and a spatula in the other, and was making pancakes.
Gu Yunyi didn't say anything, but walked over, stirred the fire, put in half a piece of firewood, and finally looked up at her.
Since knowing that Xu Qingmeng was pregnant, her family members asked her to eat more and take more supplements. After Xu Qingmeng lost weight, even now that she is pregnant, except for a slightly bulging belly, her waist is still very slender.
The pretty face seemed fuller with a little flesh on it, and with the maternal glow, it was even more attractive.
After Xu Qingmeng lost weight, Gu Yunyi knew how beautiful she was, but it seemed that he had never looked at her carefully. Now that he looked closely, it was no wonder that a nobleman like Lin Yichen...
"What are you daydreaming about? What are you thinking about?" After the pancake came out of the pan, she cut it into four pieces with a knife, and then tore one of them into two pieces. She stuffed one piece into her mouth and handed the other piece to Gu Yunyi.
Gu Yunyi was very satisfied. He took a bite. Although it was just a simple scallion pancake, it was extremely fragrant and soft. He couldn't stop eating it after one bite.
“It’s delicious.”
Then he looked at Xu Qingmeng and said, "The genealogy preserved by the clan needs to be improved. No matter what, we will have roots to trace in the future. Do you want to go to Shiqing Village with me later?"
Xu Qingmeng actually didn't care that much about this tribe's concept, but she also knew that it was important for them to adapt to local customs and have roots to trace, so she nodded.
Although she had no idea about this, she was quite interested in Shiqing Village. Since she traveled through time, she had not been anywhere else except Xujia Village, so she nodded in agreement.
"I heard that Shiqing Village is not too far from Cheng County, but it is blocked by a big river. Is this village really isolated from the world? If so, how do the villagers make a living?"
Seeing that she was very interested in this, Gu Yunyi explained that he had also been there several times.
"Shiqing Village is not really isolated from the outside world. Although the river is a bit wide, it is not too wide. There are ferrymen on the river, but the water level rises in summer. There are also fields in the village. The weather has been good in recent years, so we can make a living."
It doesn't seem too difficult to hear this. Mr. Gu really hasn't been back home many times in many years. I guess it's not that the conditions don't allow it.
However, Gu Hongxin seemed to have never gone back. Xu Qingmeng glanced at Gu Yunyi and it seemed that this thing about returning to one's roots was just nonsense.
Gu Yunyi saw Xu Qingmeng's suspicion, and then he laughed: "
What were you thinking about? When my father and grandfather were young, they both wanted to return home with wealth and success. However, when my grandfather was alive, he finally became rich, but who would have thought that he would die. Later, my grandmother could not bear the grief and followed him, leaving behind my father who was still young.
But you also know that before you entered the Gu Family Restaurant, it was just a residence. When it came to your father, it didn't make much money. It was not enough to cover the expenses of the whole family, so how could you return home?"
Xu Qingmeng thought about it and agreed. Otherwise, in the original book, the He family would not have planned to sell the house. After all, it was because the family had no money. After all, Gu Hongxin’s cooking skills were average.
Xu Qingmeng and Gu Yunyi were chatting, and Gu Yunyi was talking while eating. When He and the two little guys came over, Xu Qingmeng turned around and found that the pancakes she had just spread were gone.
She looked at the empty plate, at Yun Sheng and Yun Mo who were looking at them eagerly, then she looked up at Gu Yunyi who was taking the last bite slowly, and was dumbfounded.
Why does this person have such a good appetite today? Isn't she the one with the good appetite?
He looked at it and smiled: "It seems that Yun Yi has eaten enough today. I think he will not be able to eat the stewed goose later."
After hearing this, Gu Yunyi was stunned: "This..."
Xu Qingmeng smiled secretly and opened the big pot beside her: "An old man selling geese came to the store for breakfast this morning. When my mother saw him, she bought one. It's a pity that she couldn't keep it. After all, it would go bad by the evening."
Gu Yunyi looked resentful: "Why didn't you tell me just now?"
"I... I didn't notice that you ate so many pancakes at once. I never saw you liking these pancakes that much before!"
This made Yun Sheng very happy, and he even raised his chin towards Gu Yunyi in a proud manner. His expression was extremely proud!
“Promising!”
