After my stepmother was shot, I took my brothers to the countryside

Chapter 287 Going up the mountain to pick up fungi

"I just caught this in the mountains. Here I give it to you." At this moment, Gu Yanqing felt that there was something wrong with the sound of his voice.

Shen Nian took the pheasant and noticed that Gu Yanqing glanced at the stewed rice next to her again.

Her mouth was almost faster than her brain, because she heard herself asking Gu Yanqing: "Do you want to have dinner with us?"

Gu Yanqing originally just wanted to give the pheasant to Shen Nian and leave, and had no intention of staying for dinner, but after hearing what Shen Nian said, he nodded for some unknown reason: "Okay."

Before he finished speaking, both of them were slightly stunned, and then smiled at each other.

Shen Nian reacted quickly and quickly filled a large bowl of braised rice and handed it to Gu Yanqing: "Take it out first, I'll be right out."

Gu Yanqing nodded, looked at Shen Nian deeply, and then obediently walked out of the kitchen with the meal.

"Brother Yan, come over and sit down. Try the snails my sister made. They're really delicious!"

When Shen Nianle saw Gu Yanqing coming out of the kitchen with a bowl in his hand, he guessed that his sister had invited him to stay for dinner, so he warmly invited Gu Yanqing to sit over with them.

After Gu Yanqing walked over and sat down, Shen Nianle immediately picked up a snail for him and put down his chopsticks.

Snails were not unfamiliar to Gu Yanqing. He had eaten them before when he was out of food and extremely hungry during missions, but those snails only filled his mouth with sand and an earthy smell that he had to endure.

But just now, he smelled the fragrance wafting from Shen Nian's kitchen. In addition, he had eaten the noodles made by Shen Nian before, so Gu Yanqing had no doubts about Shen Nian's cooking skills at this time, and even had some expectations.

He picked up the snail and put it into his mouth, taking a sip. The delicious broth instantly made his eyes light up, and then Gu Yanqing chewed the tiny bit of snail meat carefully.

The taste was completely different from what he had eaten during his previous missions. He remembered that he had said angrily that he would rather starve to death than eat snail meat.

"How is it, Brother Yan, are the snails made by my sister especially delicious?" Shen Nianle looked at Gu Yanqing expectantly, with a gleam of pride in his eyes.

Gu Yanqing nodded and said seriously, "The snails made by Shen Zhiqing are indeed delicious. I've eaten snails before, and they had a strong earthy smell."

Shen Nian came out of the kitchen and heard what Gu Yanqing said. She couldn't help but say, "If the snails are not fried well, they will have an earthy smell. If they are fried well, the earthy smell will disappear."

"Sister, come and sit down! We've been waiting for you." Shen Nianle happily invited Shen Nian to sit down.

As Shen Nian sat down, everyone started to pick up their chopsticks. For a moment, the only sound around the table was the sound of a few people sucking on snails.

"You guys, eat some of this vegetable."

Shen Nian reminded Shen Nian'an and the others that there was never a shortage of meat at home, but she was worried that they would lack the nutrition of vegetables if they ate meat but not vegetables.

Upon hearing this, Shen Nian'an and the others nodded obediently. Each of them picked up a large portion of vegetables with chopsticks and ate it with relish, with satisfied smiles on their faces.

In the end, all the dishes and braised rice were gone. Shen Nian leaned lazily on his chair, his eyes fixed on Gu Yanqing, who was squatting by the well, washing dishes with Zhao Gaoxuan, Shen Nian'an, and others.

Her intuition told her that Gu Yanqing had a secret. She remembered the package she had picked up from the post office two days ago. At first, she had suspected that it was sent by Gu Yanqing.

But now, Gu Yanqing is already in Shuangxi Brigade, and packages still arrive every month. Shen Nian couldn't help but wonder if he had guessed wrong.
