Chapter 124: One hundred and twenty-four She feels sorry for him!_1

Ji Pianran’s words had just fallen.

Aunt Zhang looked at Li You’e with skepticism on her face.

"Gu Chen has been in the city for the past few years, you have no idea how hard Pianran’s days have been, but I do. With such a young child, she had to raise the kid and work for others all by herself. In my opinion, farming is good! At least she can stay by Pianran’s side!"

In a person’s life, although earning money is important, family is even more so!

This was something Aunt Zhang understood very clearly.

Besides, what’s wrong with farming?

Didn’t you hear that Gu Chen is planning to farm many acres of land?

If that works out, it could earn a good amount of money!

Although nothing was certain yet, Aunt Zhang believed that Gu Chen would definitely be able to make something of it.

At that moment, Shen Cuilan was playing shuttlecock with Yan Yan in the courtyard when she smelled the delicious aroma from Gu Chen’s house.

Yan Yan immediately started drooling.

But the little guy wasn’t stupid, he knew if he just ran off, his mom would definitely scold him.

To go to Gu Chen’s house for a meal, he had gotten scolded plenty recently.

The little guy racked his brains on how to avoid a scolding.

After a while, he licked his lips and looked at Shen Cuilan seriously, saying earnestly, "Mom, I miss dad..."

Kids are guileless, thinking their lies are seamless.

However, as soon as he opened his mouth, Shen Cuilan understood what was going on.

Shen Cuilan glared at him with irritation.

Missing his dad?

He just wanted to go to Gu Chen’s house to freeload a meal again!

She sighed helplessly, acknowledging that her child just loved Gu Chen’s cooking.

She hadn’t spared any effort in cooking these past few days.

Yet no matter what she made, Yan Yan always insisted that Uncle Gu Chen’s food was the best.

She picked up the shuttlecock and sighed.

"Go ahead, but don’t eat too much. It’s not good for your digestion!"

There was no helping it when the child simply loved to eat.

With his mother’s permission, Yan Yan sprinted towards Gu Chen’s house.

It was fantastic!

He could once again have a meal at Uncle Gu Chen’s house!

...

Meanwhile, Gu Chen stewed the chicken in the pot, and after seeing there was nothing else to attend to, he entered the Spirit Field again.

There were still matsutake mushrooms and ginseng that needed watering in the Spirit Field.

Now that the goji berry issue had been dealt with, and the matsutake mushrooms had been growing for several days.

They were so thick compared to when they were first planted, vastly different.

They were incredibly robust!

These mushrooms, unlike goji berries, were priced like gold, very expensive indeed.

Gu Chen watered the matsutake mushrooms and ginseng one by one and then started to worry.

Such expensive items weren’t something the average person could afford.

Where could he find someone to buy them this time?

Gu Chen looked at the matsutakes in the Spirit Field and pursed his lips.

Old Zhao, who bought the goji berries, wasn’t enough.

He needed someone to buy his matsutake mushrooms as well.

It seemed he had to go ask Old Hu for advice. Determined, he finished watering.

He silently left the Spirit Field.

By this time, the chicken was almost ready, the sauce perfectly reduced.

It smelled both fresh and aromatic.

He first served some broth, and then added chili peppers.

After all, his wife loved spicy food.

Just as he finished with the chili, he heard Yan Yan chattering away as he entered the yard.

Xiao Tangtang was ecstatic to hear Yan Yan had arrived.

Wiggling her little behind, she followed him down from the chair, wanting to watch cartoons with Brother Yan Yan!

Of course, Gu Chen knew exactly why this little rascal had come.

He laughed and took out a large platter, heaping it with the copious amount of spicy chicken chunks from the pot.

Only then did he carry his masterpiece toward the living room.

By this time, Ji Pianran had already put away her embroidery, and seeing Gu Chen approaching with the dish, she quickly went to scoop some rice.

Gu Chen wasn’t in a hurry, setting down the large platter of spicy chicken chunks, he went to the front room to call over Tian Laosì.

Now, he was the main workforce of the household.

When it came to meals, one must not skimp!

Just like that, five adults and two children, seven people, finally sat down to eat.

Gu Chen looked at Aunt Zhang, "Auntie, you try it and see, whether this chicken is tastier or the dumplings from last time were more fragrant!"

Hearing that Aunt Zhang had also tried the dumplings made by Gu Chen, Li You’e was filled with envy.

"Wow, you’ve also eaten the dumplings made by Chenzi?"

Clearly, being a neighbor comes with a different level of treatment!

She, too, wished she could be Gu Chen’s neighbor!

Aunt Zhang, smiling merrily, took a piece of chicken and put it into her mouth, her eyes instantly lighting up.

With her mouth half full, she mumbled, "Mmm, delicious!"

The chicken was fresh and tender with a hint of chili aroma, yet it wasn’t very spicy.

Simply outstanding!

Aunt Zhang wasn’t very educated and knew only a few words, but she gave a big thumbs up to everyone.

"This chicken is fried so fragrantly!"

Li You’e had been drooling with anticipation, and upon hearing her old friend’s comment, she couldn’t wait to grab a piece for herself, savoring it thoughtfully in her mouth.

Oh boy, this flavor was simply too delicious. She thought sniffing it was enough, but eating it was even more fragrant than smelling it.

She was so engrossed that she couldn’t even speak, just nodding her head repeatedly.

"Mmm, mmm-hmm."

Seeing that Tian Laosì hadn’t started moving his chopsticks, Gu Chen knew he was feeling shy, and immediately picked up a chicken leg with his own chopsticks and placed it in his bowl.

"Eat up, Brother Four, this is your own home, you need a full stomach to have the strength to work!"

Tian Laosì looked at the chicken leg in his bowl, to be honest, he really wanted to eat it.

Instead, he passed the chicken leg to Yan Yan.

After all, his own child was here and loved eating the food made by Gu Chen so much.

Better to let the child eat, eat well and grow!

Yan Yan got the chicken leg and was overjoyed, forgetting about chopsticks and immediately started gnawing on it with his hands.

Seeing Yan Yan eating so happily, Tian Laosì couldn’t be more delighted, and casually grabbed a piece for himself, placing it in his bowl.

"Chenzi, teach me how to cook sometime."

His admiration for Gu Chen had escalated another level since this afternoon.

During the work, he had made up his mind to strive to match up to Gu Chen.

Let’s start with cooking, he wasn’t going to mention the rest!

He also wanted his child to enjoy a delicious meal!

Gu Chen chuckled, "Sure, no problem, Brother Four."

Ji Pianran saw that everyone was enjoying their meal, even Xiao Tangtang was engrossed in the small bowl of chicken given by Gu Chen, not even looking up as she ate.

Only Gu Chen himself hadn’t moved his chopsticks at all.

She silently picked up a chicken wing with her chopsticks and placed it in Gu Chen’s bowl.

She softly said, "You should eat too."

He had been busy the whole day, and although she couldn’t help him, she cared for him!

Gu Chen had always liked eating chicken, especially the wings.

He once told her that chicken meat was best on the wings, soft and tender.

The only flaw was that a chicken only had two wings!

Gu Chen paused, chicken wings?

She still remembered that he liked chicken wings?

That was three years ago, when he had just gotten to know Ji Pianran.

Back then, Ji Pianran was recovering from an illness at Shen Cuizhi’s house, and as Gu Chen gnawed on a chicken wing, he shared his preference with Ji Pianran.

He hadn’t expected that Ji Pianran would remember it now.

Recalling those times made Gu Chen feel somewhat embarrassed.

At that time, he was only focused on eating and hadn’t offered Ji Pianran a bite.

He casually took a wing and put it in Ji Pianran’s bowl.

"Wife, you taste it too."
