Chapter 50 Old Cow Eats Young Grass

Yuan Xiao saw that he didn't say anything, and raised her head in confusion, just in time to meet his burning gaze.

She still held the bitter gourd in her hand, and her heartbeat sounded like a drum, making her tongue numb.

After a long time, she found her voice again: "What are you doing here, don't make trouble."

Zhong Li looked at this fierce-looking Uncle Gu, and then looked at Sister Yuan Xiao, always feeling that there was something strange between them.

He touched the back of his head, "Uncle Gu, grandma asked me to call you in, we made honeysuckle tea."

When Gu Lanting heard the three words "Uncle Gu", the aura around him suddenly cooled down, his face turned black, and his lines became colder and harder.

He lowered his eyes and glanced at Zhong Li, "Call me brother!"

Zhong Li wanted to retort, but when he met his deep eyes, he swallowed the words on his lips.

Forget it, forget it, I can't afford to offend him.

Seeing Gu Lanting's depressed expression, Yuan Xiao couldn't help but smiled with pursed lips.

The dishes brought by Gu Lanting are all more suitable for summer.

She decided to stew the bitter melon with pork ribs. She had been to Guangdong Province before, and people there liked to eat it this way, and the taste was indeed good.

With a lot of ribs, she could also make a sweet and sour pork ribs. The

pork belly she bought today was more than enough for a bowl of braised pork, and some meat could be used to make stir-fried meat.

Zhao Fubing brought her some ingredients for making sour plum soup, as well as pig offal, a fish, and some tofu.

Yuan Xiao decided to deal with everything together, and by the way, called Chu Jiangping and Uncle Gu to come over to eat.

In the summer, she built a resting shed in the yard, and lit kerosene lamps at night, and everyone ate here.

Yang Zhen had the habit of fumigating mugwort every day, and there were almost no mosquitoes in the yard.

When the last dish of braised fish and fish head tofu was served, Yuan Xiao asked people to come to the table, and she went to the next door to ask people.

Compared with the initial aloofness, Chu Jiangping has become much better, and has come to Yuan Xiao's house for dinner several times.

He would not refuse Yuan Xiao's cooking skills.

But what surprised Yuan Xiao was that Gu Lanting and Chu Jiangping were old acquaintances.

As soon as they met, Gu Lanting's aura suddenly became much heavier, and he called out in a low voice: "Uncle Chu?"

Chu Jiangping couldn't see him, so he just turned his head and asked Uncle Gu: "Who?"

Uncle Gu had a complicated look on his face, and tears were faintly in his eyes, "This should be... the kid from the Gu family."

Chu Jiangping was serious and tried to ask: "Lanting?"

Although he and Gu Lanting's father were a few years apart, they were close friends.

When he was framed by a villain and exiled here, Gu Lanting's father happened to be away from the capital.

Later, Gu Yan'an also wanted to overturn his case, but he was blind, depressed, and self-degrading.

He didn't want to stand up himself, and no matter how hard Gu Yan'an tried, it was useless, so he gave up.

Chu Jiangping was exiled to Qushui County, which was a secret to the superiors, not even Gu Yan'an knew about it.

Chu Jiangping had not contacted them in these years, and it had been almost ten years since they had contacted each other.

When he left, Gu Lanting was still a teenager . He

had a lot to say, but it was not appropriate to say it here.

Gu Lanting just said lightly: "Let's eat first."

Uncle Gu suppressed his excitement and helped Chu Jiangping walk over, "Yes, yes! Eat first."

Yuan Xiao didn't ask much, just cleaned up the dishes, "I didn't expect that Gu Gongan and Uncle Chu are old acquaintances."

"Gongan?" Chu Jiangping asked.

The old lady served them soup and said with a smile: "That's right, little Gu is awesome, he is the police officer in our county, besides the director, he is this one."

The old lady also gave a thumbs up, the police captain, isn't that him!

Chu Jiangping was puzzled, how could the only son of the Gu family come here to be a police officer?

But he didn't ask, just smiled and praised the food made by Yuan Xiao.

Wang Yazhi had absolute sympathy for Chu Jiangping, and she would add more dishes to him with a public chopstick from time to time.

After a meal, Chu Jiangping already understood why Gu Lanting appeared here.

This bastard is thinking about Yuan Xiao!

Chu Jiangping seemed calm on the surface, but he was secretly sulking in his heart, as if his cabbage was going to be eaten by a pig!

It's a pity that he has no connections in Qushui County, and he really can't build a bridge between Yuanxiao and the school!

He can only poke Gu Lanting's wounds openly or secretly. You are 24 years old! You still have the nerve to think about the 18-year-old Yuanxiao? Have some shame!

Gu Lanting has made mental preparations for his major event in life, and he is unshakable.

"Lanting, your uncle and nephew and I haven't seen each other for a long time. Come and talk to me."

Chu Jiangping stood up with the help of Uncle Gu's hand. He thought of something, but still felt that it was not enough, and said: "If you count the two of us, the age difference is not that big, it's okay to call each other brothers."

Yuanxiao remained silent. This sentence was a bit exaggerated.

Gu Lanting is 24 this year, and Chu Jiangping is 36, a whole generation older, so it’s okay for him to call him uncle.

Gu Lanting didn’t care about his sarcasm, and turned to Yuan Xiao and said, "Then I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning."

Yuan Xiao thought it was a bit too hasty, but she also attached great importance to preparing for her studies, "Do you need me to prepare anything?"

Gu Lanting’s eyes softened a little, with some smiles, "No, you still need to take a test when you enter the school."

He took her there just to let the principal recognize her.

Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and she decided to go directly to the second year of high school and take the college entrance examination next year. She

was still confident that she could pass the test in the second year of high school.

Chu Jiangping snorted, "Come here!"

When they arrived at Chu Jiangping's room, both of them were silent.

Gu Lanting spoke first: "Uncle Chu, you have suffered a lot these years!"

Chu Jiangping waved his hands and no longer had the intention to embarrass him.

Although his pupils were lifeless, his sullen and gray face bore traces of his experiences.

"Why are you here?" Chu Jiangping asked in a deep voice.

Gu Lanting was a natural born soldier, not an ordinary man. How could he be relegated to being a small public security officer in Qushui County?

Gu Lanting had a forbearing look on his face, his jaw tightened, and his voice was low: "Something happened, so I'm temporarily here."

The two were speechless for a moment. They obviously had a lot to say, but they didn't know where to start.

Gu Lanting looked at the gray sky outside, "Many people in the capital have been rehabilitated. Uncle Chu, please wait a little longer! Soon, you can go back too."

Chu Jiangping sneered, his pale and skinny fingers clenched tightly, with blue veins bulging.

He almost gritted his teeth and said, "I am a person abandoned by the country, and I am also a blind man! Even if I go back, what will happen?"

He is a blind man!

How long has it been since he last wrote? Almost ten years, so long that he thought he was a cripple!

Gu Lanting said nothing, but his expression became colder and colder.

The dim light cast his tall figure on the ground, which kept lengthening.
