There's not much to visit nearby, just courtyard houses with many people living there.
Illegal construction was strictly prohibited. In addition to needing a place to live, the educated youth who came to the city also had to work and earn money to support themselves.
There are many people setting up stalls on the streets and in the alleys.
Gu Jiayue saw someone selling soybean milk and said with a smile, "I'd like to invite you to drink soybean milk and fried dough sticks. This is a specialty here and everyone likes to drink it. It just so happens that there is still some left from the vegetable vendor."
Are you really right to take advantage of the old man so openly?
As for bean juice...
Yang Zhaozhao waved his hand: "No, I'm not used to drinking."
In the past, Yang Zhaozhao lived in southern metropolises and had been to Beijing on business trips. She respected the authentic local snacks, but could not enjoy them.
"No, you'll get used to it after drinking it a few times. I couldn't get it before, but now it's sold every day, don't be ungrateful!" Gu Jiaye said as he bought four servings in one go.
Yang Zhaozhao refused: "Xiao Cui and I will have one, and you can each have one."
Gu Jiaye glanced at Xiao Cui. Children have small appetites, so it would be a waste if they couldn’t finish the drink.
Besides, a cup of soy milk costs a lot of money!
After three cups of bean juice were poured, Yang Zhaozhao gave it to Xiaocui: "Try it first, don't drink it from us..."
Xiao Cui tasted the soy milk expectantly and vomited: "Yue~ It tastes terrible. I don't want to drink this. Sister Zhao Zhao, don't drink it either. What if you get an upset stomach?"
Yang Zhaozhao looked at Li Yiling for help.
Li Yiling felt sorry for her and took it from Yang Zhaozhao: "Don't worry about wasting it. If you don't drink it, I will."
"You are so stupid!" Yang Zhaozhao smiled.
Li Yiling's ears were hot, his face was beaming with joy, his eyes were full of little hearts, and he looked at Yang Zhaozhao with a silly smile.
Gu Jiaye couldn't stand it, he thought this dog food was too sweet.
A group of people who don’t know how to enjoy themselves!
Gu Jiaye took a sip with enjoyment: "Drink!"
Under Gu Jiayue's provocative gaze, Li Yiling took a sip of soy juice. He thought that anything related to beans, such as soy milk, should be similar.
Who knew that after drinking it, he thought the coffee was very bitter, but who knew that this bean juice almost killed him.
Even though Li Yiling had a strong stomach, he almost vomited.
Seeing his expression, Yang Zhaozhao advised: "Forget it, if you can't drink it, don't drink it. After all, not everyone can appreciate this delicious taste. We won't force it."
Gu Jiaye was unhappy and provoked Li Yiling: "Li Yiling, let me tell you, to be our Gu Jia's grandson-in-law, you must know how to drink soy milk. If you......"
Tons of tons of tons...
Not giving Gu Jiaye any chance to find any fault, Li Yiling closed his eyes, hardened his heart, and drank two cups of soy milk in front of them.
His tongue and sense of taste left him, and Li Yiling felt numb.
Yang Zhaozhao looked at the dazed man and nudged him: "Are you still here?"
Li Yiling couldn't control himself and burped.
Yang Zhaozhao pulled Xiao Cui back with disgust.
Li Yiling felt depressed watching this scene.
Gu Jiaye laughed loudly: "Yes, he is from our Gu family."
Li Yiling dodged Gu Jiaye's hand in disgust, caught up with Yang Zhaozhao, and whispered, "Zhaozhao!"
Yang Zhaozhao lowered his head and looked at the man with a face full of grievance. Who could resist this?
He was tall and handsome, with slightly furrowed sword-like brows and deep eyes looking at you pitifully, like a big golden crocodile.
Even Yang Zhaozhao, who had a heart of stone, couldn't stand it.
Her heart softened, and she took Li Yiling's big hand and smiled at her.
This smile made Li Yiling willing to soak in the soy milk.
At Yang Zhaozhao's house, Grandpa Gu and Grandma Cui had almost finished their chat. Grandpa Gu waved to Yang Zhaozhao, "Zhaozhao, come here and let grandpa take a look!"
"Grandpa!" Yang Zhaozhao walked over with a smile.
Seeing Yang Zhaozhao, who was pretty, cute, and clean, and who had not suffered much in the countryside, Old Man Gu felt relieved: "Come on, grandpa will cook for you later."
"Thank you, Grandpa!" Yang Zhaozhao finally had the chance to take out the gift he had prepared and said, "Grandpa, this is the ginseng that Li Yiling and I dug together."
Li Yiling brought ginseng to the old man and specially put it in a red velvet box, which looked high-end and classy.
Moreover, the roots of the ginseng are very complete and look at least several years old, otherwise it would not have grown like this. They are of good quality and well preserved, and you can tell at first glance that they are not cheap.
"Grandpa doesn't need these, you keep them." The old man was unwilling to accept such an expensive gift.
Li Yiling said: "Grandpa, please accept it. This is a token of my gratitude as a junior."
Old Master Gu said arrogantly: "Who is your grandpa? My granddaughter agrees to be friends with you, but it's just a relationship. Just call me uncle."
"As for changing your words, we have to see if you can get married in the future. Don't think that I, an old man, am lying!"
Li Yiling: "......"
Looking at the frustrated Li Yiling, Yang Zhaozhao smiled secretly.
Gu Jiaye secretly gave him a thumbs up. The old man is still the old man. He is so tough.
Although Li Yiling is not talkative, he is very clear when it comes to expressing his opinions.
Li Yiling looked at Yang Zhaozhao deeply and said sincerely, "Don't worry, old man. I will definitely treat Zhaozhao well. I will not bully her, nor will I let others bully her."
"In this life, I will only be loyal to Zhao Zhao and will never let her down. There is only Zhao Zhao in my heart and I am willing to do anything for her!"
Yang Zhaozhao's heart skipped a beat. He spoke so beautifully, Yang Zhaozhao had to express her gratitude in some way.
He hooked Li Yiling's big hand, and the two of them seemed to be acting sneaky, but in fact they interlocked their fingers in front of them without any scruples, looking like their love was stronger than gold.
The old man looked at the clumsy Yang Zhaozhao and thought that if Yang Zhaozhao was not raised by him, he would not be close to him!
"Hmph, no matter how nice your words are, they can't compare to your actions. Time will tell what a person's true character is. I will keep an eye on you." Old Man Gu pointed at himself and then at Li Yiling.
Yang Zhaozhao looked at the childish Mr. Gu and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
She remembered the first time she traveled through the book, she met the old man. They didn't have much contact at that time. The old man was seriously ill. After he realized that he had recognized the wrong granddaughter, he regretted it very much.
She was taken to the ward, sometimes crazy and sometimes lucid, and met the old man a few times. The old man was worried about her, so he held her hand and asked Gu Jiaye to take care of her. The old man was very worried when he left.
It can be said that he died with his eyes open.
Talking about the first time he traveled through a book, Yang Zhaozhao wanted to slap himself. It was such a failure!
Now looking at the old man who protected his people, Yang Zhaozhao felt sad inside and secretly swore that he would make sure the old man passed away peacefully in this life and would never be a burden to him.
"Grandpa, besides ginseng, we have a lot of other things in our area, including Ganoderma lucidum, Gastrodia elata, wild ones, as well as Ophiopogon japonicus and Herba Immortelles."
"This is wine soaked with sorghum, which is top-grade kaoliang wine. You can drink some at noon. It was brewed by Li Yiling." Yang Zhaozhao tried to make Li Yiling feel more present.
Li Yiling looked at Mr. Gu ingratiatingly and nodded.
Old Master Gu glanced at him and said, "Drink at noon!"
I want to see if this future grandson-in-law will get drunk and go crazy, or beat people up. If he has any bad habits, he'll be doomed.
Li Yiling secretly clenched his fists. Is he testing my drinking capacity?
Li Yiling was a little worried. He didn't know if he could drink more than the old man after three cups of alcohol!
