"Why does Shen Xiucai have so many whimsical ideas?" Su Wanqing glanced at his son who had a great time playing with building blocks and had forgotten to eat.
"It's a natural talent..." Li Zhiyuan handed the small book that Shen Yanbei had given to Su Wanqing. "This book is quite interesting, it is suitable for our son."
"This is?" Su Wanqing's eyes lit up. She quickly opened it.
In this book, which was as small as a palm, each piece of paper was painted with many kinds of images. The images contained daily necessities such as animals, fruits, etc., and there was the name of each image on the top of it. The paper was thick and hard, with a small round hole punched on the left side and strung together with a string. This book was easy to read and durable. So we shouldn't be afraid of the children would tear the book.
"Really interesting!" Su Wanqing was extremely satisfied with this book of insight. Compared with those precious gifts, Shen Yanbei's two gifts that could make his son happy and learn something while playing were the most meaningful gifts!
Li Zhiyuan nodded. "It seems Qingze make such good friends."
"Of course. How can my brother's vision be wrong?" Su Wanqing opened the book of knowledge. "Son, do you want to eat this?"
Hearing his mother's call, the little birthday star turned his head and saw two fat eggs on the book. His mouth grinned, showing two little tiger teeth. "Eat eggs!"
Li Zhiyuan touched his nose and said in his heart: Your brother's vision was more than good, it's so good! Because he usually didn't make friends casually!
Su Qingze, who had a good vision, was replying to the letter. "A-Heng, my brother-in-law asked me to thank you for giving Lin'er such a valuable gift. Including your gift, Lin'er received many birthday gifts today. But Lin'er's favorite is the building block toy given by Shen Dàgē..."
"I'm telling you! Lin'er almost had an accident today! Fortunately, Shen Dàgē could solve this matter..." The young man happily wrote the pepper story into the letter with his pen.
"Shen Dàgē asked for the two pots of plants called peppers. Seeing his happy look, he will definitely make a good meal for Gu Dàgē when he gets home!" Su Qingze looked a little contemptuous. "They actually eat the meat behind my back. They think I don't know but I am pretending not to know! By just smelling it, I can know there is meat on the food! It's because they are afraid that I can't hold my gluttony, but how can my will be knocked down by two pieces of meat?" Su Qingze wrote proudly. "I am working hard now. If we can meet this fall, I will wear a horseback outfit and go hunting in the autumn with you! Your Mo Yan is so handsome. You have to let me take a ride at that time!"
Su Qingze wrote all the interesting and fun things that happened recently in the letter, and also specifically mentioned a certain narrow-minded person that cause trouble to Shen Yanbei.
"That Li Juren is really annoying. The people around him robbed my dim sum and insulted me last time. After knowing my identity, he wanted to flatter me this time! He thinks who he is?" Su Qingze snorted while brushed. "A- Heng, are you still in the capital? Can you help me to collect some questions and excellent articles of Qiūwéi in the past few years? Gu Dàgē has taken good care of me this time, so I want to help Shen Dàgē. If he passes the provincial examination, he will participate in next year's Qiūwéi!"
"That Li Juren looks down on others just because he is a talented person. If Shen Dàgē passes this provincial examination, he will be beaten by the reality and be angry to death!"
After writing the letter, Su Qingze wrote on the envelope. "Dear A-Heng".
Although they keep communicating, they hadn't seen each other for more than a year. So he didn't know if the other's appearance had changed. Su Qingze sighed. He had many friends, but it was because he was the youngest son of Su's Family. A-Heng was the only person who wouldn't tease him of being fat.
Thinking of the promise he gave to Shen Yanbei on the road, Su Qingze put the letter on the table so Ming'an could send this letter later, then went to Li Zhiyuan by himself.
Li Zhiyuan's face turned to be black when he heard that it was because of Li Yi's backing so that two men dared to insult his wife so aggressively. These days, he looked through the files of the past two years, personally examined the links among these people, and found that there was Li Yi's shadow in many things. He was already suspicious at that time, but he didn't expect that this person was the one who helped to add fuel to the flame*.
*tuībōzhùlán: to aggravate a dispute by a third party; increase troubles.
"Since there are no tigers in the mountains, the monkeys become kings!" Li Zhiyuan said solemnly, turning around and taking a few books out. "Give it to Shen Yanbei. After he writes the articles, ask him to come to me to check it!" He just took office as a new official. It was an inconvenience to attack these local scholars and Li Yi had a lot of friendship with these local gentlemen. Without direct evidence to prove that Li Yi had a bad virtue, he couldn't do anything to Li Yi. At this time, the wisest way was to let Shen Yanbei stand up to contend with it as soon as possible.
Su Qingze nodded. As soon as he returned to Shenjia Village, he gave the book to Shen Yanbei.
"Thanks for Dàrén's kindness." Shen Yanbei was very grateful. After discussing with Li Zhiyuan, he clearly saw his shortcomings. Now Li Zhiyuan had given him other textbooks and assigned him homework. It was obvious that he wanted to teach him in person!
Su Qingze smiled. "Shen Dàgē, have you taste that pepper?"
"I haven't. I put it there!" Shen Yanbei pointed to the vegetable field in the backyard. As soon as he went home that day, he removed it from the flowerpot and transplanted the whole tree with the roots and mud to the ground.
"Just put that kind?"
"No. When the weather is fine, pick off the mature peppers and save them." Shen Yanbei said, "I'll let you taste it later!"
"Okay!" Su Qingze looked forward to it.
When preparing dinner, Shen Yanbei watched his wife calmly pressing the grass carp in one hand and a kitchen knife in the other hand. A large piece of fish was sliced into countless slices of moderately thick fish under his hand.
"Wife, your hand skill is really amazing!"
"Because I have practiced a lot." Gu Changfeng smiled. He turned around to pick up the potatoes and placed them on the chopping board, brushing the skin then cutting it. The thickness of the potato shreds was also the same.
Shen Yanbei couldn't help but lean over to kiss him. "Wife, you look very good when you smile. Well, you look good too without a smile."
Gu Changfeng's face was a little red. Shen Yanbei stared at him and continued, "Now it looks very beautiful."
The color on Gu Changfeng's face could not help but deepen, Shen Yanbei only smiled lightly and started cooking after he appreciated it.
"Oh, it smells good!"
"I can't help but drool!"
When the dishes were on the table, Su Qingze, Zhou Yu, Ming'an, gathered around the table and sucked their saliva.
"What are you doing standing there? Sit down and eat!" Shen Yanbei poured a glass of wine for himself and Gu Changfeng. He cooked five dishes for dinner: fried egg with chili, hot and sour potato shreds, fish with pickled cabbage, fried pork with chili, and fish head with chopped pepper.
"Uhuk Uhuk Uhuk!" Su Qingze held scrambled eggs with chili peppers with chopsticks. It was so spicy that he burst into tears, and smacked his mouth. "So spicy! So spicy!" The strange and compelling taste was like a fire, simple and rough, straight down to the throat!
Ming'an hurriedly brought him water, "Young Master, drink water!"
Su Qingze hurriedly took a big gulp. Zhou Yu saw that his eyes were moist and his lips were bright red, the hand holding the chopsticks didn't dare put take it.
"It's okay. It's just choking. Just eat slowly." Shen Yanbei put chopsticks on hot and sour potato shreds made by Gu Changfeng then he said, "This is only a little bit spicy, you can try it."
The potato shreds were crispy, soft, spicy, and sour. The strands of sourness and continuous spiciness stimulated the taste buds, which made people didn't want to stop eating.
"It's delicious." Gu Changfeng carefully tasted the distinctive taste of the tip of his tongue. It was different from the pungency of onion, ginger, and garlic. This kind of taste was pure and straight to the bottom of people's hearts, really amazing!
Seeing that Shīfu had eaten it, Zhou Yu clamped a small piece of fried pork hesitantly. The fleshy pork belly was thinly sliced, looked brown, and he could smell spicy from far, mixed with salty fragrance. Zhou Yu swallowed his saliva, carefully stuffed the meat into his mouth...
"Good..." Zhou Yu's eyes widened. He quickly took two bites of rice. "It's delicious!"
Su Qingze with red eyes. "..."
After everyone had tasted the dishes, Shen Yanbei found that Su Qingze and Ming'an couldn't bear eating spicy food, Zhou Yu liked spicy food, and his wife could eat spicy food.
Those who didn't like spicy that much were more fond of hot and sour potato shreds and sauerkraut fish. Shen Yanbei finally had a general understanding of the people's acceptance of spicy taste here. People couldn't bear the completely spicy food. But food mixed with spicy and sour were acceptable. Shen Yanbei raised his eyebrows, thinking that there was anything else he could do!
The ducks in the farm field were taken care of by Xu Lǎobó. Xu Lǎobó had a big black dog, he tied the dog there to watch the ducks at night. After the last time incident, no one would dare to move their hands to his ducks. He also had started to raise the chickens in the bamboo forest and these chickens were taken care of by Wu sān-gē's wife Jinhua sǎozi, and Shuang’er Shen Qiukui. All the work at home except cooking was under his wife's care. His daily task was to read. If he was tired, he would go to the backyard to see the melons and vegetables or cooked in the kitchen...
He was not the type of person who read the book to death. Apart from studying hard, he also wanted to find something else to adjust his mood. Now he found it one!
In the evening, After washing, Shen Yanbei stuffed himself in the quilt early and waited. Gu Changfeng then met a pair of fiery eyes as soon as he came out.
"Changfeng..."
Shen Yanbei, who was lying on the bedside, stared straight at him, who had been completely refreshed after taking a shower. He called him out with a soft smile.
"Do you want to continue reading?" The oil lamp in the room was swaying. It was too dim and easy to hurt the eyes. Gu Changfeng was going to light it up.
"No, I don't. I'll do it tomorrow. I have something to tell you." Shen Yanbei asked the person to come.
Gu Changfeng walked over. Shen Yanbei sat the person on the bed and dried his hair. The injury on the head was healed long ago, leaving only a pale scar. The hair in his hand was as black and thick as the skin of its owner. When Shen Yanbei looked at the shoulders covered with black hair, his mind was running wild.
The dim light fell on Gu Changfeng's resolute face, softened his face line but still couldn't obscure the light shining in his deep eyes.
...Actually, he could dry his hair using his internal strength, but he didn't. Because every time he didn't wipe his hair, the young man would wipe his hair after telling him to dry his hair before going to bed. He could clearly feel the scorching gaze of the young man behind him and also his rapid breathing that gradually became heavy...
"Changfeng..." Shen Yanbei grabbed his shoulders and said with his head tilted in his ear. "Let's do it? Then talk after we finish?"
His ear burned at a speed visible to the naked eye. Shen Yanbei smiled and kissed his ears. Gu Changfeng's body stiffened, and his hands on his knees tightening.
One hand got in from the bottom of his shirt and stroked his abdominal muscles back and forth.
Gu Changfeng's breathing became faster.
A hard and fiery thing was pressing his sensitive waist from behind...
Shen Yanbei's restless hand moved down. The voice in his ear was hoarse and full of passion and desire.
"It's wet."
A "boom" sound exploded in his head. Gu Changfeng's eyes flashed with embarrassment... and finally, all turned into turbulent and depressive sentiments under Shen Yanbei's hands.
"Yanbei..." Gu Changfeng cried out impatiently, looking for Shen Yanbei's lips.
Shen Yanbei smiled and kissed him. "Is it comfortable?"
Gu Changfeng nodded honestly. Shen Yanbei took his hand and put him under him. "Don't be embarrassed, Changfeng. If you love someone, you will want to have s*x with him, want to occupy his body cruelly, every inch of..."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Changfeng suddenly turned around and changed their position.
The man's honey-colored skin was tinged with a reddish color, and the dark eyes were full of undisguised love.
"Yanbei..." Gu Changfeng followed Shen Yanbei's action by lowering his head and licking down his neck.
Shen Yanbei took a deep breath, and his eyes scanned the perfect chest and abdominal muscles, and finally landed on the bulging wet fabric.
"Yanbei..." Gu Changfeng buried his head on his neck and did not dare to look at him. He put his hand under the pillow and took out a box of ointment then stuffed him in his hand.
Shen Yanbei's eyes flashed, feeling guilt and moved at the same time. "I was negligent." Gu Changfeng cared about his body and didn't let him mess around, but he didn't concern about his needs.
Gu Changfeng's face flushed. He wanted to do it, but Shen Yanbei didn't take the initiative to speak. He also couldn't simply open his mouth to beg love.
"It's me who is not good," Shen Yanbei turned around putting the person under him again and blamed himself, "I don't even know if my husband is starving."
"Stop talking..." The red on Gu Changfeng's face was already like blood.
"Okay, I'll stop speaking. Let's have dinner!" Shen Yanbei smiled and kissed his chest.
...
After eating and drinking, the two laid on the bed. "Changfeng, I want to soak some capers and sour radish." Shen Yanbei hugged the person, fingers lingering on the skin that felt very good. "It will be summer soon. These sour and crunchy side dishes are match right for dinner." These people here could only make sauerkraut, no one had ever made these side dishes. These side dishes were low-cost, so it was okay to pickle them in large quantities. They also could add this dish to their restaurant's new menu.
"When the peppers are harvested next year, you can pickle the hot and sour ones. It will be more delicious!"
"Um..." Gu Changfeng replied softly, feeling lethargic. He was hacked by Shen Yanbei three times just now, now he still felt light as a feather.
Seeing his half-closed eyes and his eyebrows looked soft and obedient, Shen Yanbei's heart became soft. He kisses his forehead. "Go to sleep." He put his arms around the person and closed his eyes then fell asleep.
