Chapter 111: The impatient Tian Laosi

Ji Pianran gave him a faint smile, her eyes full of emotion.

'I like fish, but I also like spicy chicken nuggets, so we can make those more often.'

If she remembered correctly, spicy chicken nuggets were what Gu Chen liked to eat.

Although she is clumsy and can never get it right, she can always have a few more bites if she makes it.

She hopes that Gu Chen can also make more of his own favourite foods.

As for herself, she is fine with whatever she eats.

Gu Chen froze for a moment upon hearing this.

There was some confusion in her deep eyes.

Spicy chicken nuggets, isn't that her favourite food?

What is Ji Pianran doing?

Is she trying to let her make what she likes?

After figuring it out, Gu Chen couldn't help but smile happily.

'You feel sorry for me?'

He raised one eyebrow and looked over at Ji Pianran.

His happy tone carried a hint of teasing.

Ji Pianran's eyelids twitched.

This person, smiling so beautifully at me again!

She turned around on purpose and didn't look at Gu Chen, pouting, 'I just think spicy chicken nuggets are delicious!'

Women are really good at saying one thing but meaning another.

She clearly hoped from the bottom of her heart that he would cook more of the food he liked.

But she could never bring herself to say so.

However, her pink ear lobes betrayed her shyness.

The two of them really did work faster together than alone, and before long the rice was ready.

Seeing that Yan Yan had not yet left, they invited him to stay for dinner.

Children don't have the same concerns as adults.

Hearing that Uncle Gu Chen was inviting him to stay for dinner, Yan Yan's face lit up.

'Yes, yes, I love eating at Uncle Gu Chen's house. My mom's cooking is terrible, but Uncle Gu Chen's is delicious!'

Gu Chen reached over and gave Yan Yan a smiley pat on the head.

He put a small bowl of rice in front of him and said, 'You little rascal, you're so sweet. If you want to eat the food I cook, just come over anytime!'

Yan Yan was so happy that he almost jumped up and down.

He nodded repeatedly, 'Uncle Gu Chen is the best.'

Even if his parents didn't agree, he really wished he could live at Uncle Gu Chen's house.

Auntie Pian was gentle and beautiful, and she gave him delicious fruit to eat.

Unlike his mother, Shen Cuilan, who only yelled at him and made him do all the work!

The most important thing was that at Uncle Gu Chen's house, he could watch cartoons with Tang Tang.

Afterwards, they would have another meal cooked by Uncle Gu Chen.

This kind of life is really great, and he wants to live like this every day.

After saying this, the little guy picked up his chopsticks and started to dig into the rice in his bowl.

Gu Chen was afraid that the child would feel constrained in his own home, so he gave him several more pieces of fish.

Yan Yan rarely ate two bowls of rice, and in the end, he even made a bowl of fish soup.

He didn't go home until he was full and his belly was round and round.

The next morning, when Gu Chen got up, Tang Tang was still asleep.

It was just dawn, and now that the Spring Festival was over, the days were getting lighter earlier and earlier.

Today was the third day of the Lunar New Year, and Gu Chen got up and went to the kitchen as usual. He took a shovel and went into the space.

The space was full of goji berries, growing by the day.

They had not been collected in time for several days, and now they really took up most of the space.

This was the most direct reason why Gu Chen did not plan to go to the owner of the pharmacy that had collected the goji berries last time.

The pharmacy can only take a limited amount.

After all, there is only so much that is needed.

But people who collect goji berries specifically are a different matter. They really will take as much as you give them.

Gu Chen just wants to clear up the space for now.

If things go on like this, he won't have anywhere to put his feet up!

Gu Chen found the nylon bag he bought specially last time in the space, and then directly swung the shovel and got to work!

In theory, the fresh wolfberries should be handled with care.

But there were so many of them that he was afraid he would never be able to fill the bags by hand in half a day.

To save time, he had to use a shovel.

There was no other way.

He had to admit that using a shovel was indeed much faster than using his hands. In no time at all, he had filled 15 bags.

There were still quite a few wolfberries left in the space.

Gu Chen wanted to fill the bags again, but there weren't enough bags.

Just as he was worrying about it, he heard someone knocking on the big iron gate in the yard.

Gu Chen, who heard the sound, quickly dropped the shovel in his hands and dashed out of the space to open the door.

Yan Yan came back last night and ate until his stomach was round.

It was like a watermelon.

Shen Cuilan was so happy.

Gu Chen really didn't treat his child badly.

Tian Laosi felt a little embarrassed, because he had not yet done anything for the family, and yet they had treated him to a meal during the New Year.

Yesterday, Gu Chen brought over some tomatoes and apples.

In the evening, she even left a message saying that they were having dinner at home.

As the saying goes, 'You can't bite the hand that feeds you.'

So Tian Laosi got up at dawn today, and this is already the second time he has circled Gu Chen's house.

On the first round, he saw that the lights were dark and didn't have the courage to knock on the door.

He went back and stayed for half an hour before coming out again. He saw that the light in Gu Chen's kitchen was on, so he dared to knock on the door.

Gu Chen opened the door and saw Tian Laosi, looking surprised.

'Fourth Brother, why are you here so early?'

Tian Laosi sighed and looked at Gu Chen with a face full of guilt.

'Yan Yan caused you trouble again yesterday, didn't she? You're really good to our family, and I feel bad that I didn't come earlier to help out!'

Gu Chen thought it was something serious, but when he heard it was about this, he felt helpless and amused.

He touched his head and said, 'Huh? What are you talking about? We're all neighbours, why are you still being so polite?'

Yan Yan is just a little kid, what's the big deal about her eating dinner here?

And you were never home anyway.

Tantan also eats at Auntie Zhang's house next door every day. Neighbours help each other out.

Tian Laosi rolled up his sleeves and pretended to be getting ready to work, 'Chen, have you borrowed the electric drill?'

Gu Chen hurriedly grabbed his arm, 'Brother, Tantan hasn't even got up yet. The drill is noisy, and I'm afraid it will wake the baby. Since you're here, you might as well have breakfast with us.'

Upon hearing this, Tian Laosi hurriedly waved his hand and turned to leave. He had no face to eat at Gu Chen's house.

He hadn't even started the work yet, and the younger ones had finished eating and the older ones were coming to eat.

If you didn't know, you would think that their family couldn't make ends meet.

'No, no, no, I'll go back and wait. I'll come back when it gets light.'

Seeing that he was about to leave, Gu Chen suddenly remembered that he was still short of some nylon bags. He grabbed Tian Laosi's arm.

'Fourth Brother Tian, do you have any nylon bags at home?'

Hearing this, Tian Laosi nodded, 'Yes, I have quite a few. I'll bring them over!'

Over the years, he has grown grain, and every year when there is a good harvest, he has to bag it. He has bought quite a few bags himself, and with the grain he has eaten, there are still quite a few left over.

There are probably more than ten!

Hearing that he can finally help Gu Chen a little, Tian Laosi was overjoyed.

Without saying a word, he turned around and went back to find bags for Gu Chen.

Gu Chen looked at his back and couldn't help but smile. This Tian Laosi is really a practical person, he didn't even ask how many he wanted and just ran back.
