Farmer's clever woman busy farming

Chapter 101 For Her

The freshly stewed river prawn soup was very delicious. Watching Yuan sister drink a bowl, Gu Jiujiu and Yan Shi also drank a bowl each.

Thinking of Brother Yan writing in the house, Yan Shi scooped up a bowl of hot river prawn soup and gave it to him, asking him to taste it too.

Gu Jiujiu put the finished river prawn soup into the big wooden barrel that was prepared early in the morning, and covered the wooden barrel with a wooden lid. After tidying up, she looked up and saw that Yan was holding Brother Yan in his hand. The porcelain bowl that finished the soup returned.

"Xiao Jiu, brother Yan finished his river prawn soup and asked me again when his brother-in-law will come back?" Yan Shi looked at Gu Jiujiu as soon as he approached the kitchen and said, "It's getting dark, why is my son-in-law?" Haven't come back yet?"

"I don't know either." Gu Jiujiu raised his eyebrows, "I remember he said that the errand he did in the yamen was nothing more than an idle errand, and he should be back at this time."

"Is that why he was delayed due to something? That's why he didn't come back?" After Gu Jiujiu finished speaking, Yan guessed.

"It should be." Gu Jiujiu also felt that apart from this possibility, there would be no other possibility.

Yan thought that they would go to the market to sell rice noodles tomorrow morning, so she scooped up water to wash the bowl of soup that brother Yan drank, and asked Gu Jiujiu to go back to the house early to rest.

Gu Jiujiu nodded in agreement and walked out. Unexpectedly, just as she walked into the yard, she saw Shen Kuo walking in from the outside.

"Son-in-law, why did you come back so late?" Yan Shi came out after washing the dishes, and when she saw Shen Kuo who came back from the yamen, she subconsciously asked.

Shen Kuo glanced at Gu Jiujiu with tender eyes, and then looked at Yan Shi and replied, "I was able to come back in the afternoon, but I went out suddenly for something, so I came back late."

"I think it's the same." After Shen Kuo finished speaking, Yan smiled, "By the way, I don't know if my son-in-law has had dinner? If not, mother will go to the kitchen to cook you a bowl of rice noodles now. There just happened to be stewed river prawn soup."

"Mother, don't bother." Shen Kuo looked at Yan Shi, "I've already eaten."

"Really?" Seeing what Shen Kuo said, Yan said, "Since you have eaten, then son-in-law, you and Xiao Jiu should go back to the house to rest early!"

"En." After Shen Kuo finished speaking, he walked to Gu Jiujiu's side and took her little hand naturally to go back to the house.

Before Gu Jiujiu could react, he felt that his hand was wrapped by a generous and powerful palm.With a blushing face, he glanced at Shen Kuo, only to see that the corners of his lips curled into a nice curve.

Seeing that her son-in-law and daughter had a good relationship, Yan Shi pursed her lips and smiled before she walked away.

As soon as he entered the room, Shen Kuo gave Gu Jiujiu a bulging package wrapped in oil paper, "Xiao Jiu, here it is for you."

"What is this?" Gu Jiujiu looked at Shen Kuo with a puzzled expression while holding the object in his hand.

"You'll know when you open it." Shen Kuo didn't answer Gu Jiujiu's words, but let her open it with a low smile.

With doubts, Gu Jiujiu slowly opened the oiled paper in his hand, and saw several bunches of red candied haws wrapped in the oiled paper.

This candied gourd was not quite the same as the one she bought at the market, except that the hawthorn was covered with a thick layer of maltose, and a lot of small sesame seeds were sprinkled on it.

"Do you like it?" Shen Kuo looked at Gu Jiujiu with a smile, "I specially bought this for you from a shop selling candied haws in the market."
