There's not much to visit nearby, it's just courtyard houses with a lot of people living there.
Illegal construction was strictly prohibited. When educated youth returned to the city, they not only needed a place to live, but also had to work and earn money to support themselves.
There are already many people setting up stalls on the streets and in the alleys.
Gu Jiayuan saw someone selling douzhi (soy milk) and said with a smile, "I'd like to treat you to some douzhi and jiaoquan (fried dough sticks). It's a specialty here and everyone loves a sip. Coincidentally, there's still some left from the vegetable vendors."
Is it really right for you to fleece 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 cities and had been to Beijing on business trips. She respected the authentic snacks, but she couldn't enjoy them.
"No, you'll get used to it after drinking it a few times. Before, I couldn't drink it even though I wanted to, but now it's sold every day. Don't be ungrateful!" Gu Jiayuan bought four servings in one go.
Yang Zhaozhao refused: "Xiao Cui and I will have one, and you can each have one."
Gu Jiayuan glanced at Xiao Cui. Children have small appetites, so it’s okay if they can’t finish the drink.
Besides, a cup of soy milk costs ten cents!
After getting three cups of bean juice, Yang Zhaozhao gave it to Xiao Cui: "You try it first, if you don't want to drink it, we will..."
Xiao Cui took a sip of the soy milk with anticipation and spit it out: "Yue~ It's unpalatable. 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 burning, his face was beaming with joy, his eyes were full of little hearts, and he looked at Yang Zhaozhao with a silly smile.
Gu Jiayuan 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 Jiayuan took a sip with enjoyment: "Have a drink!"
Under Gu Jiayuan'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 already very bitter, but who knew that this bean juice almost made him die.
Even though Li Yiling had a strong stomach, he almost vomited.
Seeing his expression, Yang Zhaozhao persuaded him, "Forget it. If you can't drink it, don't drink it. After all, not everyone can appreciate this delicacy. We won't force it."
Gu Jiayuan 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, tons, tons...
Not giving Gu Jiayuan 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 awake?"
Li Yiling couldn't help but burp.
Yang Zhaozhao pulled Xiao Cui back with disgust.
Li Yiling felt depressed watching this scene.
Gu Jiayuan laughed heartily: "Yes, he is from our Gu family."
Li Yiling dodged Gu Jiayuan's hand in disgust, caught up with Yang Zhaozhao, and whispered, "Zhaozhao!"
Yang Zhaozhao turned around and looked at the man with a face full of grievance. Who could resist this?
He was tall and handsome, with slightly furrowed eyebrows and deep eyes looking at you pitifully, like a big golden retriever.
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 soy milk.
When they got home, Grandpa Gu and Grandma Cui had almost finished their conversation when 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, clean, and hadn't suffered much in the countryside, Old Man Gu felt relieved: "Come back, 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 a hundred years old, otherwise it would not be possible to grow like this. The quality is good and it is well preserved, and it is obvious that it is not cheap.
"Grandpa doesn't need these, you guys keep them." The old man was reluctant 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 with you, but it's just a date. Just call me uncle."
"As for changing your words, we'll have to see if you can get married in the future. Don't think I'm lying!"
Li Yiling: "......"
Looking at the frustrated Li Yiling, Yang Zhaozhao smiled secretly.
Gu Jiayuan secretly gave him a thumbs up. The old man is still the old man, just 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 won't 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. Zhao Zhao is the only one in my heart and I am willing to do anything for her!"
Yang Zhaozhao's heart skipped a beat. He spoke so sweetly, 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 sneakily, but in fact they were holding hands in front of them without any scruples, looking like their love was stronger than gold.
The old man looked at Yang Zhaozhao, who was clumsy, and thought that if he was not raised by his father, 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, and I will keep an eye on you." Old Master 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 transmigrated into a book, she met the old man. They didn't have much contact at that time. The old man was already terminally ill. After realizing that he had recognized the wrong granddaughter, he felt very regretful.
She was taken to the ward, sometimes crazy and sometimes lucid, and met the old man several times. The old man was worried about her, so he held her hand and asked Gu Jiayuan to take care of her. The old man was very worried at that time.
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 was protecting his own people, Yang Zhaozhao felt sad and secretly vowed that he would make sure the old man lived in peace in this life and would never become a burden to him.
"Grandpa, besides ginseng, we have a lot of other things in our area, including Ganoderma lucidum, Gastrodia elata, wild basil, as well as ginseng and angelica sinensis."
"This is wine soaked with sorghum. It's top-grade kaoliang wine. You can drink some at noon. It was brewed by Li Yiling." Yang Zhaozhao gave Li Yiling a sense of presence.
Li Yiling looked at Mr. Gu ingratiatingly and nodded.
Mr. Gu glanced at him and said, "Okay, drink it at noon!"
I want to see if this future grandson-in-law will get drunk and go crazy, or if he will hit someone. If he has any bad habits, he will be doomed.
Li Yiling secretly clenched his fists. Is he trying to test 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!
