After returning home, Chang Wu and the others were arranged to take hot showers.
Gu Qiqi began to arrange lunch at noon.
One for lotus root bone soup, one for lotus root meatballs, one for sandwiched lotus root, and one for stir-fried lotus root.
We will also arrange fish fillets with pickled vegetables and stir-fried bacon with winter bamboo shoots.
Five dishes and one soup filled two big tables.
Every time Gu Qiqi cooks, everyone will be satisfied with their food.
Of course, after lunch, everyone has to get busy with the New Year’s Eve dinner.
Although you don’t need to visit during the Chinese New Year, you still have to eat the New Year’s Eve dinner.
But when everyone was discussing what cuisine to arrange for the New Year's Eve dinner, Chang Wu said: "There are so many of us, why don't we just have hot pot? It would be so simple?"
As soon as Chang Wu said this, Zhao Hu immediately stood up and echoed: "Yes, you don't have to worry about the food getting cold when you make hot pot. Tonight is the New Year's Eve, and everyone can have a good drink."
"Then we will arrange hot pot tonight?" Gu Qiqi looked at everyone.
Zhao Hu understood instantly: "Bison."
Chang Wu understood instantly: "Wild sheep."
Zhao Hu, Chang Wu: "Arrangement."
After the two of them finished speaking, they took a group of people and walked towards the mountain not far away.
"We must come back before dark." Gu Qiqi looked at the backs of the group and shouted.
When the group heard Gu Qiqi's words, they raised their hands without looking back: "Understood."
"Okay, since we are going to have hot pot, we don't have to rush to prepare. Let's play mahjong while we have some time."
No one objected to Gu Qiqi's proposal, and then they formed a team of four and started playing mahjong.
Mrs. Qi, the old couple, Gu Qiqi's father and Gu Qiqi formed a team.
Qi Mei watched Gu Bei play for the time being.
Gu Qiqi took Nangong Ye with him.
Jiang Su also stood behind Gu Qiqi and watched.
After Gu Qiqi returned to Jiangdu, he asked the villagers in Zhuangzi to help make several pairs of mahjong, so that they could play mahjong at home when they didn't have to visit during the Chinese New Year.
There is a lot of fun in the small yard.
Nangong Ye didn't know how to play, so he sat next to Gu Qiqi and watched and learned. Gu Qiqi was also very patient and taught while playing.
In the eyes of everyone, the two of them were just like a young couple, and they would whisper to each other from time to time.
But everyone sees through it without saying anything, and behaves very naturally.
No one said anything, no one cared, and Gu Qiqi didn't even think about it that much. After all, she and Nangong Ye had long been accustomed to it.
The only thing that is not normal is that she is a girl now, but she was a boy before.
Nangong Ye, on the other hand, was very immersed in the scene where Gu Qiqi taught him how to play mahjong.
Whatever Gu Qiqi said, he would just nod his head.
After watching Gu Qiqi play a few games, Gu Qiqi finally asked him: "Have you learned it yet?"
Nangong Ye: "It should be, almost done."
Gu Qiqi: "Then you go to the table and play a game and try it. I will guide you next to you."
Nangong Ye responded: "Okay."
The two then exchanged positions.
Although Gu Qiqi was there as a guide, she would not remind him unless it was a last resort.
As a result, her silence resulted in Nangong Ye's confrontation.
In the end, there was even a three-game winning streak.
Of course, he started to mess up at the beginning of the fourth game.
But Gu Qiqi could completely tell that this guy lost on purpose.
This was shown in front of her father, grandfather, and grandmother.
Looking at Nangong Ye who kept showing off, Gu Qiqi became more and more confused about what kind of medicine this guy was selling.
He tugged at the corner of his clothes and said, "We're done playing. Let my mother play here. You and I can look for wild vegetables and other things in the village together."
Looking for wild vegetables was of course an excuse, but the real purpose was to ask this guy what he wanted to do.
Gu Qiqi picked up the backpack and walked towards the path in the backyard.
Nangong Ye followed behind.
Everyone in the yard looked at this scene and pretended not to see it, because they already knew it.
When they arrived outside Zhuangzi, Gu Qiqi saw that there was no one around, then looked at Nangong Ye and asked slowly: "Why don't you just stay in Yongdu and why are you here? Who will take care of those big and small things when you leave?"
deal with."
"As the leader of a country, what will the people do when you leave? Especially the suffering people, how will they survive this difficult winter?"
Nangong Ye replied calmly: "These matters will naturally be left to the sixth brother to handle. With the sixth brother here, we have nothing to worry about. Also, I didn't sit in that seat, that seat was taken by the sixth brother."
"During this period, I helped him secure his position. I watched him deal with the big and small things that happened in Dayong recently. I felt that he could take charge of his own affairs, so I brought Chang Wu and the others over to celebrate the New Year with everyone."
After hearing what Nangong Ye said, Gu Qiqi looked shocked: "You...you gave up your position to your sixth brother? Just give up the country you worked so hard to win?"
Nangong Ye nodded.
Gu Qiqi became even more confused after hearing this.
She turned around in a circle and looked at Nangong Ye. She couldn't understand him anymore, and she didn't know how to talk to him.
"I know you have a lot of doubts now, but you don't know where to ask the questions, so you don't have to ask, just listen to me," Nangong Ye said.
Gu Qiqi nodded: "Okay, then you say it and I'll listen."
Nangong Ye looked at Gu Qiqi: "I have always known that you don't like life in the palace, let alone being trapped in the palace. Although the palace is big enough, I can give you enough freedom, but no matter how free the palace gate is,
The shackles will still trap you and make you feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable."
"The queen's position will also tightly restrain you. It doesn't mean that you will be free if I give you freedom."
"I have always known that the relationship you are pursuing is one flower, one tree, one world, one person for life. But if I sit in that position, with that status, I will not be able to make a promise to you, let alone give you what you want.
Life."
"So I know that if I want to pursue the girl I like, I have to give up some external things."
"So I gave up that position and wanted to pursue the girl I like. It's as simple as that."
"Then you are not afraid that the girl you are pursuing will not like you? Reject you? In the end, you will lose all your rights?" Gu Qiqi looked at Nangong Ye and asked.
Nangong Ye shook his head and replied: "You understand that my power is not what I pursue. As for feelings, isn't it good to just let nature take its own course?"
"I will not force the girl I like to like me or marry me. As long as I can be by her side and do the things she likes with her, I will be content."
"She likes to do business, so I will accompany her to do business, buy her many shops and restaurants, and let her do whatever she wants."
"She wants to walk around and see, so I will accompany her through wind and rain. You once said that you don't have to get someone to like someone. You can watch her live a good life and stay with her.
It’s also a very happy thing to be around.”
"Of course, if she can also like me and be willing to be with me, then of course it will be the most perfect ending."
