Chapter 25 The Gluttonous Little Patriarch

Leaving the Zhou family’s restaurant, Gui Chun put down his biggest thoughts, his steps became a little lighter, and he fulfilled his preface with great enthusiasm, and took Gui Chongyang to the big market to eat jelly.

As Gui Chun said, along both sides of the road towards the pier, one stall after another was placed far away, making Gui Chongyang dazzled.

Some sell ready-made clothes, some sell daily necessities, some sell vegetables, chickens and ducks, and there is still half a street selling various snacks.

Gui Chongyang looked in his eyes, listened to various hawking sounds in his ears, and had a plan in his mind.

At this time, Gui Chun had found a place and took Gui Chongyang to a stall next to him. He said it was a stall, but it was just a pick-up, with a board on it horizontally, and made a snack table.

"How to sell jelly?" Gui Chun asked.

"Old price, one or two big bowls for three cents."

"Give me a bowl of jelly without garlic." Gui Chun greeted the old man who sold jelly.

The old man was in his fifties, hunched over, and his clothes were washed white, but they were clean.

The old man responded, bowed and lifted the wooden barrel under the boot, filled it with a bowl of tadpole-like jelly, and added shredded carrots and shredded cucumbers cut in the small basin next to him, and ordered soy sauce and balsamic vinegar, and delivered it to Guichun.

Gui Chun pushed him to Gui Chongyang: "Eat quickly, this jelly stall has been in stock for more than ten years, and it is a delicious food that can be counted at the market."

Where can I eat alone in Gui Chongyang? I took two pairs of chopsticks and stuffed them into Gui Chun's hand.

"Eat together." Not long after I had eaten the cold noodles with sesame paste, Gui Chongyang was still full, but I was still a little interested when I saw fresh food.

Seeing that the bowl of jelly was full of content, Guichun also took up chopsticks.

The old man looked behind the stall and handed over an empty bowl with a smile: "The young man will continue."

Gui Chun thanked him and took the empty bowl. Gui Chongyang pushed over halfway and then buried his head and started eating.

This first bite is amazing, because the jelly is cold, and it will make you feel a lot after eating it on a hot day. It also has vinegar to make you appetizer, shredded radish and shredded cucumber, and you can't put it down after eating it.

The two brothers ate the jelly with their efforts.

Gui Chun took out the three cents that had been prepared and handed them to the old man.

Gui Chongyang pointed to the wooden barrel containing jelly and said curiously: "Old man, are there ice cubes in it?"

Seeing that the young boy in the long gown was very kind to others, the old man lifted the wooden barrel: "Yes, this hot day, the jelly is stored on this, and it will be cooler to eat it until it is eaten."

Gui Chongyang looked at it and saw that the wooden barrel was covered with tung oil, and there were a few fist-sized ice cubes that were not melted. It was a muslin pocket with jelly inside.

After leaving the jelly stall, Gui Chongyang was attracted by the shop selling iced sour plum soup, and his eyes stuck to the wooden barrel of sour plum soup.

Gui Chun hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to eat it again when I go to the market."

Gui Chunyuan felt that this little cousin, a little adult, was now jealous of eating it. But today I had already eaten sesame cold noodles and jelly, and then I was banned from eating delicious food. Even if I felt sorry for my cousin, I would not wait for a profiteering like that.

Gui Chongyang nodded quickly and said, "Okay, let's take a look in the next episode."

The two little brothers came to see Gui Qiu, but now the hidden dangers have been solved successfully. In the afternoon, they left the market and planned to return to Mujia Village.

The sun is getting even more sunny in the afternoon, and when I come, I take a bus, so there is no reason to go back under the sun.

Before Gui Chun could speak, Gui Chun took out the car fee for six cents and said, "Brother Chun is not allowed to compete with me. The remaining dozens of cents were saved by Brother Qiu finally. Don't move it casually."

Gui Chun hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm eating a little too much, why don't I go back?"

"Brother Chun, don't be nagging. Could it be that I am the younger brother, just to watch you take a walk and take a bus back by yourself?" Gui Chongyang said.

Gui Chun then made up his mind, but he still advised Gui Chongyang: "I will use the waiter's money. Is it the money given by your aunt? Don't move it."

Gui Chongyang said dissatisfiedly: "Brother Chun is wrong. He is all relatives of blood. How can he distinguish the distance? As the second brother of Shiqiu, his aunt's money cannot be used? Is it because his aunt is not his own?"

Gui Chongyang remembered the hundred documents given by Mei, just because he really respected her as his aunt, so now he is holding the money in the purse.

Gui Chun waved his hand and said, "I don't mean that. I think it's not easy for my cousin. I worked hard day and night for the past few years, and I had to support my grandmother in the money I earned, and I also had to pull my cousin Mei, not caring about myself at all. My cousin is less than thirty, so it's not too late to get married."

Mei is a good writer and literate girl, and she is less than 30 years old. As long as she wants to get married, she doesn’t have to worry about marrying.

Gui Chongyang's little face became serious: "I have been delayed all these years, not a year or two. Now that the situation at home is like this, I can't prepare a decent dowry for my aunt. What kind of family can I say? I can't say that the other party is the girl Hong who is interested in my aunt, and I will try my best to marry her."

Gui Chun thought about the fact that those who asked the matchmaker to inquire about Mei a few years ago were indeed poor and expected Mei a to make money to supplement the family income. Although his little cousin was young, his words were in line with the world.

As they spoke, the two of them arrived at the town and waited under the big tree to take the bus.

In just half a cup of tea, a carriage slowly drove out of the town.

Gui Chun walked out of the shade of the tree and was about to step forward to stop the carriage when she said in surprise: "Ah? Uncle Wu!"

It turned out that there was a driver sitting on one side of the shaft, and the other side was not someone else, but Master Jiang Wu.

When Mr. Jiang Wu saw his two nephews, he stopped the carriage. He thought they were coming to the market, but they were empty-handed, so he guessed: "Is this to see the waiter? Your aunt is here too, come forward to meet him."

Gui Chongyang followed Gui Chun forward and saw the curtain of the carriage lifting open, revealing a thin young woman.

Gui Chun had met Jiang's family and hurriedly held Gui Chongyang to greet him.

"Good boy, get up. I haven't seen you some days, and I'm already like an adult." Jiang said to Gui Chun with a smile, looking at Gui Chongyang again: "Is this the nephew of the Si Uncle's family? What a handsome young man."

He is also a gentle and gentle person, and Jiang and Mei are different. Perhaps because his family is rich and he is busy living a peaceful life, the years have been very generous. He can't tell that he is four years older than Jiang Wuye. He looks like he is in his twenties.

Gui Chongyang was shy when facing the jokes of his elders, but he thought about it in his heart.

It's not right. The couple is a bit weird. It doesn't seem like they are going back to their hometown to visit. Jiang's neck and hands showed unhealthy sallow yellow, but his face was pink and white. His eyes were moist, but the corners of his eyes were red and there was fog on his eyes. Is he crying and applying powder again?

Master Jiang Wu paused on his wife's face and said softly: "Since I've seen it, I'll put down the curtain, the sun is so poisonous."

Jiang nodded and looked at the thin Gui Chongyang: "My nephew is still young, let him sit in the car with me."
