Chapter 24 I'm definitely a good person
"It's okay. Third uncle always doesn't care what the family does. Besides, aren't we working hard to earn money so that he can study well in the academy? It's all for his own good. What else can he be dissatisfied with?"
Ms. Yin waved her hands and didn't take this matter to heart. She cut the meat into minced meat according to Su Xiaomu's instructions. The fat meat was put aside in advance. Then she fried the white tofu and cut it into small pieces.
Mix the pudding with the minced meat, add salt and spices, and just fry it in the pan later.
"Sister-in-law, is this what you're talking about with the whistle?"
After Mrs. Yin mixed them, she showed them to Su Xiaomu. Su Xiaomu still had doubts in his heart at the moment, but it was hard to ask, so he had to focus on cooking for the time being.
"Yes, now we can knead the noodles."
She stopped thinking, flattened and rounded the dough, and the thin noodles came out.
It is not difficult for her to make spicy noodles, and now that there are more chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns for seasoning, the preparation of the seasoning has become easier.
After the pot is hot, there is no need to add oil. Put the diced fat meat directly and stir-fry. After the lard comes out, put the mixed lean meat and tofu.
After the meat changes color, add chili and Sichuan peppercorns. After the aroma comes out, pour hot water that covers the meat into the pot, then simmer over low heat for two-quarters of an hour.
After the whistle was made and the noodles were almost kneaded, I boiled water to cook the noodles, put in some wild vegetables and cooked them together, then took them out and poured them with soy sauce and soup. Su Xiaomu fried another egg by himself.
After the steamed noodles were served, the Gu family were too curious to eat them first.
But the aroma of the noodles kept getting into my nose, and my mouth kept secreting saliva.
"Third Aunt, what is this!"
Gu Ruochen was the most greedy, he couldn't help but put his fingers into his mouth and said.
"It's steamed noodles. Let's all eat them quickly."
Su Xiaomu handed the most beautiful fried egg to Gu Jingcheng. She said in a gentle voice: "Mr., here it is."
Mrs. Li was about to remind Su Xiaomu to pass the chopsticks to Gu Jingcheng, but before she could speak, seeing her like this, she nodded with satisfaction from time to time.
This wife is the right one to marry!
"Thank you."
Gu Jingcheng was slightly startled, but he did not reject Su Xiaomu's advances.
With so many people watching, it’s better to wait until no one is around before asking!
After a bowl of spicy noodles, even though he always thought she had bad intentions, Gu Jingcheng had to admit that Su Xiaomu's cooking skills were really good.
"Xiaomu made good noodles today. Otherwise, we can set up a noodle stall in the city in the future and sell the noodles you made today. If the business is stable, you can go to the academy to see Jingcheng and give it to him.
Bring food."
Ms. Li was in high spirits during happy events, so she ate two bowls of noodles with her belly open. Now she was feeling full and was quietly rubbing her belly under the table.
"What mom is going to say is indeed a way out, but I still want to see on the street again to see if our pancakes can still be sold for another half month. It's not that urgent at all."
Su Xiaomu immediately became interested when she talked about the business she wanted to do, but when she saw Gu Jingcheng sitting next to her out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly withered.
For God's sake, let her go to bed tonight and get over this hurdle first.
It's uncomfortable enough to be in the same room with a stranger, let alone this annoying person!
After eating, Mrs. Li invited Su Xiaomu and Gu Jingcheng into the house together, saying that she wanted the young couple to communicate with each other about their feelings.
Not to mention she understood instantly, just from the look in the eyes of Mrs. Li and her two sisters-in-law, even a fool knew what they were expecting.
When she entered the house quietly, Gu Jingcheng was sitting by the window reading.
He lit a candle, and with the dim candlelight swaying, Su Xiaomu looked at his profile and was filled with admiration.
His eyes were lowered, his long eyelashes were slightly raised, casting a shadow under his eyes, and his thin lips were slightly pursed under the straight bridge of his nose. Although he looked aloof and distant at the moment, to be honest, he was still very attractive.
"Have you seen enough?"
Before Su Xiaomu could recover from his profile, Gu Jingcheng's cold voice reached her ears.
"Ahem...cough."
Su Xiaomu licked her lips in embarrassment, and said rather bluntly, "I just wanted to read...see what book you are reading, haha."
She looked away awkwardly and silently shrank to her little bed.
Only now did Gu Jingcheng see that there was a bed in the room. His eyes darkened slightly and his voice was low and hoarse: "Since you know everything about our relationship, there are some things I must tell you in advance."
"There is no love between a man and a woman between you and me. We are forced to live in the same room now because we are helpless. When the time is right, I will tell my mother and ask her to let you go."
Gu Jingcheng had no intention of becoming a couple with her, not to mention what kind of person she was, even if he didn't know the whole story, he had a somewhat clear idea.
Thinking of how the whole family liked her so much outside just now, Gu Jingcheng's eyes deepened: "You'd better keep to yourself and don't try to cause any trouble under my nose."
"I definitely don't have any bad thoughts about you.
I have never thought about overstepping the boundaries between men and women. Now I just want to live my life well.
What’s more, I’m working so hard to make money for your family, isn’t it just for you to study, okay?”
When Su Xiaomu heard this, he immediately became serious.
She was originally in a very calm mood, but now she is living under someone else's roof and has no right to speak.
But Gu Jingcheng's words became more and more excessive, so she couldn't help but pursed her lips and continued.
"You also know that the whole family is counting on you to study hard and take the imperial examination to become an official. You are the hope of the whole family.
And now that I am using my identity as your daughter-in-law, if I want to live a good life in this family, I can only put you first in everything."
"How can I cause trouble? It's obviously you who got the idea first!"
Humph, who cares? If she didn't use him as an excuse to get things done, she wouldn't want to talk to him!
"It's useless to say more. I'll see what you really do in the future. Now I'm just saying ugly things first. If you really are innocent, you don't need to take my words to heart."
Gu Jingcheng withdrew his gaze coldly and continued to read the book in his hand.
"Okay, anyway, I haven't done anything to regret your family, and it doesn't matter what you said."
Su Xiaomu got out of bed and took out the curtain she had hidden in the box and hung it between Gu Jingcheng and her bed.
She was lying comfortably on her little bed, feeling much better than before.
Although Gu Jingcheng was reading a book now, his line of sight was just blocked by this curtain.
He knew that Su Xiaomu was not a kind person, and he acted like a good wife in front of his parents for some purpose.
Moreover, when two people draw a distance, she has already thought about how to draw and what to use to draw.
"It's getting late, so you should go to bed first. I want to read for a while."
Gu Jingcheng got rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind and began to read the book in his hand seriously.
Through the curtain, Su Xiaomu couldn't see his appearance clearly. He could only vaguely see a person sitting by the window.
She picked up her throat and deliberately made a sweet voice: "Husband, please remember to go to bed early and don't burn out your eyes from reading."
Su Xiaomu made a face deliberately at his back, slightly.
Chapter completed!
