Chapter 75 Milk, I picked it up
More than ten years ago, there was still war. At that time, Gu Si was an intelligence officer. As the head of the largest and most monopolistic intelligence agency in the country, he had countless capable people under his command.
It’s just that Gu Si’s base is in Shanghai, while Pei Yaning, who graduated from a regular military academy, is well-known in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei region, which leads to the two having few interactions.
On the rare occasions when information was purchased for money, Pei Yanning was badly cheated.
Although he was confused at the moment, he really didn't think that Gu Si was the intelligence chief.
The sound of rain blocked their way, and Pei Yaning always landed silently. It was not until Pei Yaning walked to the door that Gu Si and Ling Xi noticed him.
The two were talking about having a chance to go to the Magic City.
"Going to the Magic City?"
Pei Yanning replied, "When do you want to go? Dad will buy you tickets and let Pei Xuan or Pei Jin accompany you."
Gu Si and Ling Xi were just about to say something, but the next moment they noticed the unnatural feeling of Pei Yanning's arm.
"Dad, are you hurt?!"
Lingxi hurried forward to support the person, and Gu Si subconsciously took Pei Yanning's pulse.
Pei Yanning noticed Gu Si's action and raised his eyebrows slightly, but he did not hide. He just comforted Lingxi who was about to cry: "It's okay if you get rubbed by a rock. Don't be afraid."
Pei Yanning is very skilled in martial arts, and under normal circumstances, even rolling stones cannot touch him.
But, it rained heavily yesterday, and when they were moving to the cave, he was protecting the equipment and had no way to avoid the falling rocks, so he injured his arm.
He didn't tell Lingxi and the others the inside story.
Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief only after she confirmed from Gu Si that Pei Yanning's injury was not serious.
Gu Si handed the towel beside him to Pei Yanning, "Dad, just wipe it briefly first. I'll get you some hot water so you can wash yourself."
Pei Yanning agreed with a smile.
Lingxi saw that they got along well, and she felt touched every time she saw it. When she saw her fourth brother went to the kitchen, she came to Pei Yanning and asked quietly: "Dad, how do you feel about having another son?"
Pei Yanning: “…”
"So should Daddy thank you properly, baby?"
Lingxi nodded her head proudly.
"I have a very good eye! Can you find someone better than my fourth brother?" After a pause, she added: "You don't count, you're my father!"
Pei Yanning felt a little sour at first, but after hearing Lingxi's last sentence, he was instantly coaxed. The moment he turned around to wash up, the corners of his mouth curled up wildly.
Pei Yanning turned around and went to the bathroom. He didn't notice Lingxi behind him and suddenly laughed, but in order to prevent Pei Yanning from noticing anything, she laughed very restrainedly.
After Pei Yanning finished cleaning up, the second batch of buns in the big pot had already started steaming.
He was holding the ginger soup prepared by Lingxi, with a few hot buns placed in front of him. He let the hot steam fill his eyes, and his delicate and charming face became unspeakably gentle.
The rain stopped for a while in the afternoon.
Pei Yanning teaches Lingxi the ways of the world.
"We have been making buns for a whole day. Take a few and send them to the Gu family."
He explained to Lingxi: "We are not afraid of what people say, but we live among people after all. It is not a bad thing to come up with something to stop people from talking and create a good reputation for ourselves."
Nowadays, filial piety is still very important.
Gu Si and Ling Xi were driven out of the door by Pei Yanning, carrying a basket with six buns made of 20 grams of flour in it, two with mushrooms and vegetables, two with leeks and eggs, and two with vermicelli and meat.
White flour is too conspicuous in the village.
Just this two bowls of noodles is already far beyond the normal food standards in the village.
When the two arrived at the old Gu's house, Gu Qingnan was grinning in the corridor.
When he saw it was them, he made a hushing gesture and then tiptoed over to Gu Si, lowering his voice.
"Da Ya is really that thing!
What should we do, according to your suggestion?"
Gu Qingnan was eager to try, and a little excited.
Daya said she was a niece, but she was not much younger than Gu Qingnan and Gu Si. Daya was not likable, and her eyes had grown on the top of her head recently. Last time, she instigated Erya to steal the meat at home, and then she protested and said she would not work, and also said that her grandmother was partial to her, which caused a lot of trouble at home.
Gu Qingnan didn't care at first, but Daya became more and more excessive and even wanted to interfere in his marriage, so Gu Qingnan decided to teach her a lesson.
But, even though she has money as a backing, Daya can’t fight...
Fortunately, Gu Si had given him an idea beforehand.
Gu Si coughed, signaling Gu Qingnan to stop talking nonsense. He said seriously: "It's Daya who is lucky. We don't live together, so don't blame me."
Gu Qingnan: “…”
Okay, okay, you are the most innocent!
He saw Gu Si open the basket of buns and shout towards the yard.
"Mom, the fourth brother and his sister-in-law are back, and they brought you some big buns.
It’s been a long time since I last had big buns!
This is thanks to the ability of the fourth brother!"
When the people in the yard heard the word "baozi", everyone in the house ran out.
Gu Qingnan deliberately said that Gu Si was capable.
As expected, Daya, who had always looked down on Gu Si, curled her lips and muttered in a very low voice: "It's just a bun, made of two-grain flour, and you gave it to these few people. Look how petty you are!"
Gu Si glanced at her calmly: "If you can't speak, shut up. I didn't let you eat, and you can't even eat two cups of noodles."
Gu Daya didn't realize that her voice was so low that normal people couldn't hear it. Now she was suddenly ridiculed by someone she looked down upon and she couldn't swallow this.
"Who said I can't eat it? Not only can I eat it, I can also eat pure meat and pure white flour."
"Okay, Daya, stop bragging and apologize to your fourth uncle." Gu Qingnan advised, but in fact added fuel to the fire.
Daya became even angrier, and rushed back to the house, took out a small bag of flour and a few pounds of meat, and went to Wang Dongni and said, "Grandma, can you help me make dumplings? Just make sure I'm full, and you can eat the rest."
As he said this, he looked at Gu Si proudly: "Don't give it to Uncle Si."
Everyone: "..."
Gu Si ignored her. Wang Dongni came to her senses and quickly said "okay, ok", holding Gu Daya's hand and smiling kindly.
"You know that Daya is the most promising. You are taking advantage of me and can taste what white flour and big meat taste like.
Our eldest daughter is blessed."
Gu Daya was very proud, and looked at Gu Si with contempt.
Lingxi frowned, but after Gu Si pinched her hand to comfort her, she finally calmed down.
Gu Qingnan got to the point: "What kind of blessing is this? People who are blessed can pick up money when they go out, get gold rings and silver bracelets, and can dig ginseng in the mountains. What about you?
She is also blessed!
Mother, you haven't even eaten the flour yet, and you're already telling lies with your eyes open!" Gu Qingnan lowered his voice deliberately, but controlled the volume to ensure that Daya could hear.
"Hey, you brat!"
"Mom, the incident with the big locust tree just happened. If it gets out that Daya is blessed, I don't know how many matchmakers will come to her house.
Mom, I heard that rich families like to find wives who are blessed and can bring prosperity to the family. What if this reputation gets out and people find out that Daya is fake after she gets married? What should we do then?"
Daya was originally very angry, but when she heard this, her eyebrows moved.
Wang Dongni didn't take it seriously, but not long after, Daya handed her a small yellow croaker and said mysteriously, "Grandma, I found it. I'm giving it to you as a gift."
Wang Dongni was confused.
Gu Qingnan who got the news: "..."
!!!
Hahahaha, laughing to death!
