Gu Xixi, who had already vaguely guessed why the other party was looking for her, was not in a hurry.
Standing silently beside Xiang Wanying, she waited for her to speak first.
Chapter 177: First time on a deserted island, afraid of getting tired of eating
As the head maid of the Xiang family, Xiang Wanying has a strong ability to read people's expressions.
While scrubbing the pig liver in her hands, she had already noticed the calm expression on Gu Xixi's face.
With a slight frown, Xiang Wanying realized that the other party had guessed her thoughts.
To be honest, she didn't really like the feeling of being controlled by people other than Zhang Liu.
"Cough, cough, cough..." He coughed a few times to get Gu Xixi's attention, and then Xiang Wanying suddenly asked, "You like Zhang Liu, right?"
"Yes!"
Raising his head, Gu Xixi spoke straightforwardly.
She knew Xiang Wanying's character.
So there was no hint of dragging one's words.
The other party asked, and I answered directly.
"Then do you know that Gu Qingrou also likes him?" He turned around and squeezed the pig liver in his hand, squeezing out the blood inside bit by bit, and whispered to Wanying: "Are you also planning to marry him with your eldest daughter?"
"If the young lady doesn't mind, I don't mind." Gu Xixi said after biting her lip.
Then she suddenly realized the "also" in the other person's words.
"You just said... also?"
There was a look of astonishment in his eyes.
Gu Xixi already knew that Xiang Wanying liked Zhang Liu.
But she could not imagine that the other party would intend to involve Zhang Liu and the eldest daughter of the Xiang family.
Because a maid getting married and a lady getting married are two different things!
The former can achieve a status mismatch.
The latter must be of equal status.
The difficulty of these two is completely different!
"The Xiang family is already in need of a suitable son-in-law..." Xiang Wanying said as she scooped up the bloody pig liver, "And I can't bear to see the eldest daughter forced to marry someone she doesn't like. She likes Zhang Liu."
"But there are no suitable resources behind Zhang Liu!" Gu Xixi said with a frown.
At this moment, she was thinking about the Xiang family behind Xiang Lingying.
If everyone fails to escape successfully.
Then there is no need to talk about all the prerequisites.
You might even lose your life, and all your background is meaningless.
But if we succeed in escaping.
The Xiang family is not as easy to "fall against" as the Gu family!
To be honest, Gu Xixi didn't think Xiang Wanying could escape from the Xiang family safely...
"Don't worry, our patriarch is much kinder than you think." Looking at the hesitant look on Gu Xixi's face, Xiang Wanying could already guess about 70% of what the other person was thinking.
However, she was not here to show off that her master was only fierce to the outside but very easy to talk to at home.
So Xiang Wanying did not continue this topic.
After packing the liver, she asked Gu Xixi, who was looking confused, "If... I mean if, if everyone is going to lose, are you willing to accompany him with me?"
"Huh?!" With her eyes wide open in surprise, Gu Xixi looked at the head maid and secretary-general of the Xiang family, who was famous for her "dominance" in the political circle. Her face was full of disbelief.
Is the other party suggesting to share with you?
And it's on the male side.
"Instead of making him feel uncomfortable in a situation where he can only choose one, it's better to give him the good choice!" She pouted her lips and expressed her thoughts, with a bit of dissatisfaction on Xiang Wanying's face.
But when she talked about the man she loved, her voice became much softer.
Looking at Gu Xixi in front of him who was still somewhat shocked.
Xiang Wanying also added in a low voice: "The others are all good girls too. I can't bully them by taking advantage of my power."
If it comes to political interests or business benefits, she will indeed take certain strong actions to obtain the best results for the Xiang family behind her.
This naturally includes some family decision-makers.
If it weren't for the incident on the deserted island, Xiang Wanying had no doubt that she would face off against Qin Ruoyan, the future successor of the Qin family.
But since everyone took turns to go to the deserted island, her personality has changed a lot.
For her, the girls are now her partners who have shared weal and woe, and she should not easily have conflicts with them.
Facing Gu Xixi who still didn't speak.
She couldn't help but urge him, "Tell me quickly, is it possible?"
"Okay! But don't blame me for not telling you in advance. My eldest lady and I..." She gritted her teeth slightly. Since the other party was so straightforward, Gu Xixi would not hide anything anymore. She was ready to tell the truth directly.
"You are a sex addict, Gu Qingrou is a white tiger bun..." Speaking of this, Xiang Wanying's cheeks flushed slightly, but then she said without giving in: "Don't think that you are special. Physical characteristics are one aspect, but feelings are the most important!"
After saying that, Xiang Wanying also walked towards the bamboo house carrying the pork liver. Behind her was Gu Xixi with a wandering look.
The reason why the two of them ended the topic so hastily was because there was a special fragrance in the air...
When the aroma of lard spread from the corridor to Bamboo House No. 1, Bamboo House No. 2 and Bamboo House No. 3.
The girls, who had chewed the honeycomb in their mouths until it was no longer sweet, could no longer sit still.
More than ten minutes later, Zhang Liu looked speechlessly at the girls who were finding all kinds of excuses to stand in front of him waiting for the oil residue.
"Well, wait a little longer, the oil residue is not cooked yet..." Holding two long bamboo chopsticks whose front ends had been fried and turned black, he turned to Anya and Su Yan, the two little girls who were eager to eat the oil residue, and said, "It's very hot now."
"okokokok!"
Nodding vigorously, the pork had already been stewed in the pot, so Anya and Su Yan, who could squat for a long time next, both showed anticipation.
....................................
When it became completely dark, a dozen banana leaves were spread on the floor of the corridor.
On top of them were ten large plates and a clay pot.
Two plates of roasted taro.
Six stir-fried dishes.
Two plates of grilled tenderloin kebabs.
A pot of pork stew with instant noodles seasoning made up today's dinner.
The last piece of honey squeezed from the honeycomb has been added by Zhang Liu along with mint leaves and put into a thermos and shaken evenly. It will be a drink to relieve greasiness.
Faced with such a sumptuous meal, no one wanted to talk anymore. They sat on the ground and began to eat the dishes happily.
Although the grilled tenderloin and pork liver are limited.
But the other dishes are really enough.
"pat..."
Just as Zhang Liu picked up a piece of fried bracken with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, he suddenly heard the sound of water dripping from the bamboo above his head.
After a moment of hesitation, he subconsciously turned his head to look outside.
Accompanied by the sound of the first raindrops falling.
The sky, which had been cloudy for two days, began to rain again.
Although there was no thunder in the sky.
But the overall rain is very intensive.
It was completely considered a heavy rain level.
"Chi chi chi chi..."
Although there was a roof over the fire to protect it from rain, there were always some raindrops falling inside and making noises.
If you are in a situation where you lack food and clothing or even have no shelter.
Faced with this heavy rain, everyone will worry about food for the next day or where to hide from the rain.
But now that we have just finished hunting, the food reserves are more than sufficient.
Moreover, the wild boar threat in the taro forest on the top of the mountain has been directly eliminated. If you want to eat taro, you can go up the mountain and pick them anytime.
As for the top of the head, there is a thick and reliable bamboo shed to serve as a rain shelter.
So in everyone's eyes, this rainstorm actually added some "interest" to the dinner.
Chapter 178 We are going to marry Zhang Liu together!
As the rain outside got heavier, everyone's dinner was almost over.
Zhou Fang had already eaten her fill and was now drinking a glass of honey mint water while appreciating the late-night rainstorm outside.
Next to her were Xiang Wanying and Gu Xixi, who were also drinking honey water after eating.
The two goddaughters' eyes would occasionally fall on their godmother and both parties at the same time.
They had just reached a subtle consensus in the taro field and now they really wanted to have a good chat with each other about Zhang Liu.
Of course, you have to involve your godmother as well.
Because of some things, both of them felt that they should inform Zhou Fang in advance.
"Ah... I'm so full..." Anya was the fourth girl to finish her meal. She rubbed her slightly protruding belly and sat on the ground with a satisfied look on her face and sighed, "This meal makes me feel like I'm eating at a farmhouse."
"There is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?" After hearing Anya's cute words, Zhang Liu was also ready to tease her.
"Um... two pieces of news?" Anya crossed her hands over her chest, a look of hesitation on her face.
"Aya, how about we listen to the good news first?"
Picking up the honey water to clear her mouth, Su Yan smiled and suggested.
"Okay! That's good news!"
As Anya made her choice in a decisive tone, Qin Ruoyan, Qin Ruoshuang and others also paid attention.
Clearing the plate of pork belly in front of him, Zhang Liu said with a smile: "The good news is that we can continue to have this meal tomorrow."
Upon hearing the news, not only Anya Suyan, but all the other girls showed expectant expressions.
Currently, only Zhao Yiran and Song Shuyao are still eating.
In fact, they couldn't eat any more.
But because of the accumulated fear of hunger due to the previous lack of carbohydrates.
Even though their stomachs were full, the two of them were still trying hard to break off the taro and put it into their mouths.
"The bad news is that the pork belly is finished?" Anya grabbed the innocent little leopard, who was full and lying on his stomach beside the fire, and then she began to guess the bad news that Zhang Liu was talking about.
"No! If we have finished eating the pork belly, let's go to the mountains to look for other wild boars." Shaking his head, Zhang Liu showed a helpless expression on his face: "The instant noodle seasoning is almost used up, so the pork will not be so fragrant in the future."
Upon hearing the bad news, Anya covered her cheeks with her little leopard, her face full of despair.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Anya's cute performance made the girls couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.
As the dinner gradually came to an end.
Zhang Liu also took the initiative to take on the cleaning work alone, and asked the girls to go to Bamboo House No. 1 to rest early.
And also made simple arrangements for tomorrow's work.
Hunting wild boars does not mean that food is completely abundant.
