out

Author: Emei Swordsman

Outside the east gate of Hangzhou Fucheng, Xu Shuhua was taking out the meals from the food box and placing them one by one on the table under the pergola.

"Hmm - it smells so good!" Smelling the aroma of the food, an official twitched his nose and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Mr. Lu said that I could just take a bite. I thought I could only eat steamed buns and pickles, but I didn't expect such a thing.

Good food."

Lu Xianzhi looked at these simple yet exquisite dishes with a bit of surprise on his face and joked: "Originally we only had steamed cornbread and pickles. I didn't expect Miss Xu to be in the kitchen today and prepare the food so properly. It's cheap."

I killed you guys!"

Hangzhou Prefecture Tongzhi Tang Guang usually has the best food. At this time, his index fingers were moved by the aroma. He couldn't wait to pick up a bite of the dish and put it into his mouth. He praised: "This stir-fried lettuce is tender and crispy, while retaining the original flavor."

The ingredients are fragrant, but also have the pyrotechnic smell after the fire is oiled, um, not bad!”

Lu Xianzhi said with a smile: "Master Tang is an old gourmet. It's not easy for him to praise his food! In the past, I only heard that Miss Xu was a talented woman, but I didn't know that she was quite accomplished in cooking. She really can excel in the hall and in the kitchen.

!”

Xu Shuhua smiled and said: "Most of the dishes are cooked by the cooks. I'm just watching from the side and doing the cooking. I hope you don't mind it."

Zhao Feng, the academic officer, looked at Xu Chengyu and said with a smile: "Not only did Xu Shanzhang rush the students from his academy to help, but he even spared his own daughter and sent Ling Qianjin to the smoky kitchen. But you

I don’t feel bad at all.”

Xu Chengyu stroked his beard and said: "There are no people in the academy these days. I felt a little worried about leaving her alone at home, so I simply took her down. Now everyone is too busy to do anything, so she naturally can't watch.

"It doesn't matter if you do something within your power, like arranging meals."

After hearing this, several people praised Xu Chengyu's profound understanding and righteousness, and then had lunch in a relaxed atmosphere of talking and laughing.

After waiting around and seeing no one from Gu Yunji, Xu Shuhua was a little distracted and asked Xu Chengyu: "Dad, didn't you say before that you would come back with Mr. Gu and the others? Where are the others? After a while, everyone else will finish eating."

Xu Chengyu said: "He was delayed by something just now. It shouldn't take long. You can just leave some food for him without waiting for him."

Xu Shuhua nodded when he heard this. In fact, Xu Chengyu didn't need to tell her that she had also reserved food for Gu Yunji. But after not seeing him for so long, she still wanted to wait a little longer to see Gu Yunji in person.

Thinking about it in his mind, Xu Shuhua became more and more unable to sit still. He simply picked up the food box and stood up, looking for Gu Yunji in the crowd.

Here, after coming out of the little girl's shack, Gu Yunji had a headache.

Sure enough, he had been a man for so long that he had almost forgotten about it. The regulations for resettling the refugees include housing, food, medicinal materials, and winter clothes. Although the preparations may not be completely complete, they are still comprehensive.

Everything imaginable is covered.

But there is no such thing.

But it’s no wonder that, let alone a feudal society where men dominate the discourse, even in the previous life of equality and progress, if there were any flood disasters, they would occasionally ignore it when donating materials to the people in the disaster area.

But this thing is a necessity and very important.

Thinking like this, Gu Yunji suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in front of him. His eyes lit up and he immediately quickened his pace to meet her.

He looked at Xu Shuhua, whom he had not seen for a long time, with a gentle smile in his eyes: "Why is Miss Xu here?"

Gu Yunji was already more than half a head taller than Xu Shuhua. He had lost weight these days and became taller. He was dirty all over, his feet were muddy, and his trouser legs were scratched by some sharp object, and there were several pieces hanging on them.

A floating silk thread. The sweat-dampened hair on the forehead sticks to the temples, and the somewhat sharp eyebrows will now curve into a gentle arc, revealing the owner's joyful mood.

Xu Shuhua did not answer immediately, but silently looked at him from head to toe, and then she felt a little relieved. Her eyes fell on the side of Gu Yunji's neck, her expression tightened, and she asked softly: "How did you do it?

"

Following Xu Shuhua's gaze, Gu Yunji felt some burning pain on the side of his neck. He subconsciously pulled up his collar to cover the scar, pretending to be relaxed and said: "Oh, it's nothing, it's just that I rubbed it a few times when I lifted the wood."

Come on, it’s not a big problem, the teacher has already given me medicine.”

Xu Shuhua was slightly surprised when he heard this: "Carrying wood?"

She originally thought that as Gu Yunji, the so-called help was just simple tasks such as supervising workers and running errands, but she actually had to do menial and tiring work like lifting lumber?

Catching Gu Yunji's action of pulling his collar, Xu Shuhua understood that he didn't want to worry him, so he lowered his head to hide the pain in his eyes and changed the topic: "Forget it, if I don't talk about this, Mr. Gu must be starving, right? Come and eat first.

.”

Xu Shuhua opened the food box and put out several exquisite side dishes: "Dad, they have already eaten there, and this is specially reserved for you." As she said that, she pushed a fish soup in front of Gu Yunji, "This tofu dish

I made the fish soup myself, and I don't know if it suits your taste. You can try it and see."

Gu Yunji was very hungry. When he smelled the aroma of the food, he wanted to swallow the whole bowl. But when he heard that the fish soup was made by Xu Shuhua himself, he was a little reluctant to part with it, so he had to be patient and taste it carefully.

Seeing that he was eating well, Xu Shuhua couldn't help but feel better. He held his chin and smiled with his eyebrows creasing.

While eating, Gu Yunji seemed to remember something, and suddenly raised his head and looked at her. But he had been thinking for a long time, but he didn't say a word except that the tips of his ears became redder and redder, and finally hesitantly closed his mouth.

.

"Master Gu, do you have something to tell me?"

Gu Yunji froze and replied nonchalantly: "Yes... I have something to say, but it's not that important. Let's talk about it later." After speaking, he seemed a little embarrassed and quickly lowered his head.

Seeing this, Xu Shuhua pursed his lips and hesitated: "Speaking of which, I also have something to say to you..."

Gu Yunji instantly raised his head: "Miss Xu, please speak."

Meeting his sincere gaze, Xu Shuhua suddenly didn't know how to speak. A blush appeared on his cheeks and he whispered: "Yeah, it's not an important matter. It's related to the refugees..."

Gu Yunji was slightly startled when he heard this: "What a coincidence, what I want to say is also related to refugees."

Xu Shuhua's heart suddenly moved, as if he had guessed something, and asked tentatively: "Then... Mr. Gu, will you speak first?"

"Okay, okay." Gu Yunji took a deep breath, put down the bowl in his hand, and looked sideways at her bright eyes, as if he had made up his mind.
