Chapter 222 The past is too painful to look back on

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yun quickly stuck her head out of the window and looked at the woman's back.

Is that Gu Yu’s mother?

So, the man in front of her is Guyu’s stepfather?

Qiao Yun had heard some things from Xie Yutan. At this moment, she wanted to gossip, but she had to take into account Gu Yu's mood. The expression on her little face was hesitant to speak, yet hesitant to speak, so wonderful. very.

In the end, she just stuck out her tongue and said with emotion: "I don't know if it's luck or bad luck that we bumped into each other here."

"Of course it's unlucky!" Lai Gan felt angry when he mentioned this woman. He had never seen such a mother before! "My wife was so happy, but as soon as she saw her, everything changed. Isn't this unlucky?" What?"

Yun Xuemei glanced at Gu Yu's embarrassment with tears streaming down his face, and silently handed her a clean handkerchief.

This actually made Gu Yu feel a little flattered.

"Thank you, madam."

She picked up the handkerchief and wiped the tears from her face, rubbing the corners of her eyes.

Qiao Yun couldn't help but comfort her: "Don't be sad, you still have us, and you still have a husband who loves you so much. Isn't this life more comfortable than before? How was your mother-in-law treating you when you were with her? "

Guyu sighed, the corners of his slender eyes were still slightly red, and he felt a little sad in his heart. He said in a nasal voice: "Before my father passed away, she treated me very well. After my father passed away,..."

She can no longer remember what it was like when her father was around.

But at that time, her mother would hug her and hum songs, and she would make gestures on her body with the little clothes and socks she had sewn by herself.

After her father passed away, her mother was also grieved in the first three months. In order to share her mother's fatigue, she learned to do all the housework at the age of six. Unexpectedly, from then on, her mother never did any housework again.

Alas...it’s hard to look back on the past.

"Then since she treats you badly, you don't have to think about recognizing her. Let's leave in the afternoon, and I probably won't have any contact with her in the future."

Gu Yu bit her lip and nodded.

"I never thought about recognizing her, I just... couldn't figure it out. When she just passed by the window, she glanced at me. Her eyes clearly showed that she recognized me, but she didn't say anything. Am I not hers? Are we flesh and blood? During the four years I stayed in the county magistrate's office, she wanted to get more than half of my monthly income from me, but now she doesn't recognize me. Why is she so cold-hearted?"

As Gu Yu talked, her nose became sore again. She quickly picked up the tea cup and raised her neck to hold back her tears as she drank tea.

"Hey..."

Qiao Yun didn't know what to say.

It was obvious that when Gu Yu was sold to the county magistrate's office, Gu Yu's mother was already in a good relationship with someone.

The reason why I didn't run away with anyone at that time was just because I saw that Gu Yu could get hundreds of dollars a month and wanted to increase her salary.

Later, Gu Yu was kicked out by the county magistrate. Seeing that she had no hope, she ran to Jiangzhou with her lover.

"To put it bluntly, with your mother's temperament, if something happened to the one she was following, she would definitely abandon the child and run away a second time without hesitation."

Qiao Yun couldn't help but point at Gu Yu's mother behind her back.

Huh, Gu Yu just said that her mother recognized her, but she didn't come to recognize her. Qiao Yun thinks this is okay. Gu Yu's life is getting better and better. If she comes to ask Gu Yu for money now, Then don't blame her for being cruel!

Guyu nodded and sniffed: "My boss is right."

Lai Gan also comforted him and said, "When we get to Yangzhou, we have saved enough money, and we will hold a midnight ceremony, set up a few tables of wine and lively, and then you will be my legitimate wife, and I will not be afraid of what others say!"

Gu Yu chuckled: "Both of us are fatherless and motherless, what should we do? We can't even finish the ceremony."

Qiao Yun cheered enthusiastically: "Then let my wife be your elder for the time being. After all, she is my mother and our elder."

Guyu was happy: "Amitabha, if I can recognize my employer's wife as my mother-in-law, that will be the blessing I have earned over many lifetimes!"

Yun Xuemei looked at Qiao Yun faintly: "Then I have to tell myself that I am ten years older."

Everyone laughed for a while.

These young couple are both kind-hearted people. If they really want to follow the six rites, she won't mind becoming an elder again.

"That's right." Gu Yu smiled, thinking of something serious, he quickly stopped his smile and said, "Master, I remembered that by the time we arrived in Luoyang, it would already be April. April is fine even in Quwo. During the season of wearing yarn, I’m afraid it will be very warm by the Luoshui River. But the luggage we brought is all from late winter and early spring. Why don’t we take advantage of this moment to buy a few ready-made pieces from the clothing store and be prepared for emergencies?”

Qiao Yun blinked and said jokingly: "It's rare. You used to say that you would make the materials yourself, but now you are actually willing to buy ready-made clothes!"

Gu Yu blushed and smiled sheepishly: "It's not like my boss is so generous. I have a body in my hands, so I'm naturally willing to spend money!"

Qiao Yun laughed twice and said: "Let's go to Luoyang and buy some. We are not in the city now. There must be no good materials or styles in the clothing stores in this town."

That's fine, Gu Yu nodded and said no more words.

Alas, when the family business grows in the future, it will be difficult to get ready-made products from the game.

Qiao Yun was a little worried. There were a lot of good-looking materials in the game, but she couldn't get them out!

She can't show her cards to everyone!

"I'm a little hungry."

While she was thinking hard, Yun Xuemei's voice came from the side.

Qiao Yun glanced at her and saw that she was holding her stomach and rubbing it slowly.

Qiao Yun looked at the empty oil paper bags on the table and said in surprise: "You have eaten so many snacks just now, are you still hungry?"

Yun Xuemei nodded confidently.

"...Okay, let's find a place to have lunch." Qiao Yun took a small handful of copper coins from her purse, put it on the table, and left the teahouse with the other three people.

Seeing that they were about to leave Shanxi, as the last meal before departure, Qiao Yun did not consult the shopkeeper of Jie's Warehouse at Lai Gan's suggestion, but took the three of them into a restaurant with good business.

Lai Gan and Gu Yu ordered two bowls of glutinous rice noodles. Qiao Yun and Yun Xuemei didn't like noodles very much, so they ordered one roast lamb, one scrambled egg with spring leeks, and one white lotus leaf pancake.

"What is this white meat?" Qiao Yun asked Dr. Tea curiously, pointing to the wooden sign on the wall.

Dr. Tea explained: "It's Gaoping roasted tofu!"

"Why is the well-roasted tofu called Baiqirou? Is it Baiqi roasted tofu?" Qiao Yun thought of things like Dongpo Pork.

Lai Gan, who is illiterate, and Gu Yu, who has not read many books, were confused: Who is Bai Qi?

"No, no," Dr. Tea said with a smile, "Are you a foreigner?"

"What's the story here?"

Dr. Tea danced and introduced: "This dish has to start with the Battle of Changping! It is said that during the Warring States Period, seven heroes competed for hegemony. After Bai Qi defeated the armchair Zhao Kuo, all 400,000 Zhao troops surrendered to the Qin army. , Bai Qi killed them all in one day! The local people had hated Bai Qi for generations, so they used rice as a dish, tofu as meat, grilled over a fire, and mixed tofu residue with minced garlic and ginger to make "dipping head". ", which means pounding Baiqi's brain into puree and eating it with tofu, so it is called "Baiqi Rou"."

"Oh——" Qiao Yun prolonged the syllables and suddenly realized, "Because Changping was in Gaoping County today, so it's called Gaoping Grilled Tofu?"

Dr. Tea gave a thumbs up: "You understand!"

Daqing is not Dongpo pork, but fried cypress!

Qiao Yun sighed, then licked her lips: "Let's have a plate. That's all. Serve it as soon as possible."

The glutinous rice noodles are served first.

The noodles made of buckwheat mixed with sorghum are soft and strong, soaked in milky white mutton soup, with a handful of thin mutton slices and green scallions floating on the noodles, which is really appetizing.

There's also a plate of candied garlic on the side.

Lai Gan was not in a hurry to eat, but picked up the bowl and took a sip of the mutton soup. He took a deep breath and said, "Comfortable!"

"It looks delicious." Gu Yu smacked his lips, shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity that it lacks a little bit of soul."

"What?" Lai Gan put down the bowl and raised his head in confusion.

"Chili!" Guyu said, "My boss has made me so used to it that I feel uncomfortable eating soup cakes without adding some mutton oil and chili."

"I brought it!"

Qiao Yun immediately took out a small porcelain bottle from her sleeve and placed it on the table.

"Give."

Qiao Yun's sleeves have now become real four-dimensional pockets. Now she uses this fake action to take out things from the game. She can take out whatever she wants.

Lai Gan was stunned: "You even bring this?"

Qiao Yun snorted triumphantly: "Ding Quan can give me two jars of vinegar, can't I bring some chili?"

Guyu had already uncorked the chili bottle, picked up a handful of chili peppers with chopsticks that had not been dipped in the soup, and stirred them into the soup. Suddenly, the milky white mutton soup turned red.

Under Lai Gan's dull eyes, Guyu picked up the bowl and took a sip of the vermilion mutton soup without changing his expression.

"Cool!"
