Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

When I'm in a better mood, I feel much more energetic.

Instead of sitting idly by, Akahoshi wiped the dining table clean and went to the kitchen.

Upon seeing Yang Guixiang, Chixing smiled and said, "Hello, Grandma, I'm Chixing."

Yang Guixiang smiled brightly when she saw the tall, thin young man.

"Oh, don't be shy, come and sit down, the food will be ready soon."

"Yu-ge and I are good friends, Grandma, please don't treat me like a guest." Chi-xing pretended to be angry.

Yang Guixiang feigned annoyance: "You child, you say you're a good friend but why are you paying me? I treat you like an outsider."

Akahoshi picked up the bowls and chopsticks with ease, as if this place were his own home.

"That's money for my grandma's hard work. She cooks delicious and fragrant meals, so I'm happy to give her money."

Yang Guixiang's eyes crinkled with joy upon hearing this; this was the first time anyone other than Gu Yu had praised her like this.

In this village, most families are run by women who do the cooking, and almost everyone is used to it. Yang Guixiang genuinely likes a child like Chixing.

"You're so sweet-talking! How do you know it's delicious before we've even tasted it?"

Chi Xing laughed and said, "You don't even need to taste it to know that it smells better than what others make."

This is no exaggeration. The food that Chixing ate at the educated youth settlement was not as delicious as his grandmother's cooking. Based on his many years of experience eating, he knew that the food must be very good.

Watching the old man and the young man chatting and laughing, Gu Yuzhi smiled along with them. It seemed like the house had never been so lively before.

Perhaps he does, but he has forgotten, even what his parents look like.

"Xiaoyu, serve the food, let's get ready to eat."

Seeing that he suddenly became depressed, Yang Guixiang quickly told him to get back to work.

"it is good."

Gu Yuzhi ladled the dishes onto a plate and carried them, along with the multigrain steamed buns, to the main room.

At that time, there weren't so many formalities; a table was simply placed in the main room as a place to eat.

The meals were simple: stir-fried cabbage with Chinese sausage, egg drop soup, and a basket of multigrain steamed buns to eat until you were full.

Compared to the famines of previous years, being able to eat our fill is already a blessing, especially since there is meat available today.

Gu Yuzhi picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and gave it to his grandmother, then to Chixing, before eating his steamed bun with the food.

The way he ate heartily didn't make anyone uncomfortable; on the contrary, it made Akahoshi even more hungry.

Chi Xing picked up a piece of food for Gu Yuzhi with his chopsticks; it contained quite a few sausages.

This made Gu Yuzhi a little embarrassed.

"Grandma, your cooking is the best! It's even better than what I've had in Beijing."

When it comes to praising someone, Akahoshi can come up with words of praise without even opening his mouth.

This made Yang Guixiang smile, her eyes crinkling with joy. She remarked that Chixing was a well-behaved and sensible child, and that it was a good thing she didn't have a granddaughter, otherwise she would have wanted to set them up.

Such a fine young man, it's a real shame he's not in our family.

After the meal, Chixing offered to go out and wash the dishes, but Yang Guixiang stopped him.

"You still have to go to work this afternoon, so why don't you go back and rest for a while?"

Chi Xing wanted to say something more, but Gu Yuzhi pulled him away.

Grandma only felt at ease when she was doing chores. A long time ago, Gu Yuzhi stopped stopping Yang Guixiang from doing chores.

After taking Akahoshi back to his room, Gu Yuzhi moved the clothes in his closet aside, leaving half the space for Akahoshi to put her luggage.

Akahoshi had a large bag containing several sets of autumn and summer clothes, as well as several sets of winter clothes.

“You’ve prepared quite well. I’ve seen how many educated youth in previous years had to have their families send them clothes in the winter.”

Some people hadn't prepared their winter clothes and could only stay huddled on the kang (a heated brick bed) in their rooms, unable to even leave the house.

"That's right, I just didn't buy a blanket. I only have a summer blanket."

Akahoshi took out a summer quilt from the large bag. It was a thin quilt, probably not even enough to cover herself with in the fall.

"Then you should write a letter and have your family send it to you?"

Gu Yuzhi felt that Chi Xing's family was a bit unreliable, as they didn't even prepare a quilt for him.

The 250 in Chixing's sea of ​​consciousness cried out in injustice, saying that he had clearly prepared it long ago, and that it was His Highness who stuffed it into the space again.

Faced with Gu Yuzhi's question, Chi Xing shook his head:

"It's not convenient for my family to contact me. Something happened to my family, and I was rushed here."

Chi Xing lowered his eyes, looking dejected. Combined with the ambiguous words he had just spoken, Gu Yuzhi had a new guess in his mind.

Perhaps Akahoshi's family didn't not care about him, but rather that those higher-ups had seized on some kind of leverage against him, leaving them with no choice but to send him away or even sever ties with him.

The Red Guards at that time were very fierce, and anyone who got involved with them was very likely to be implicated.

At this point, some people will choose to sever ties with their families.

Gu Yuzhi thought that Chi Xing might be one of them, and that the Chi family had sent him to the countryside in a hurry because of him.

"It's okay, I have some here. It will keep you warm in winter."

Gu Yuzhi patted Chi Xing's arm to comfort him.

"Really? Thank you, Brother Yu."

His eyes sparkled as he looked at Gu Yuzhi, making Gu Yuzhi's heart skip a beat.

Akahoshi must be a young master from the city, right? Otherwise, how could he be so handsome?

This fair and tender face reminded Gu Yuzhi of what was described in the book, like a peeled egg.

It's so smooth and tender, much softer than an egg, um, it should be like a soft white steamed bun.

As he looked, Gu Yuzhi's hand reached out as if possessed, the back of his hand touching that soft white skin.

In an instant, both of them froze on the spot.

Gu Yuzhi quickly withdrew his hand, looking at Chi Xing's red ears, feeling annoyed.

Akahoshi stared with innocent eyes, looking inexplicably pitiful.

"Brother Yu, if I were a girl, you would have been acting like a pervert just now."

Gu Yuzhi touched his nose and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I..."

“I want to touch it back too.” After saying that, Chi Xing reached out and pinched Gu Yuzhi’s face.

Gu Yuzhi's face wasn't as white as Chi Xing's, but it was considered fair-skinned in this rural area.

As for the feel, it is naturally soft.

Akahoshi pinched his wife's cheek, his eyes crinkling with joy.

Gu Yuzhi didn't expect that Chi Xing's face was soft, and even her fingers were soft.

Gu Yuzhi felt no aversion to Chixing's touch; in fact, he felt a sense of pleasure.

"Alright, pack your things, I'll help you make your bed. You have to go to work this afternoon."

Gu Yuzhi turned around, his right hand instinctively clutching his heart. It had been beating so loudly that he had thought he had some kind of illness.

Akahoshi watched his retreating figure, her deep eyes gleaming with a faint, eerie light.

There's no rush. Once they move in together, he can make Ayu fall in love with him.

After tidying up their things, Chi Xing and Gu Yuzhi lay down on the same kang (a heated brick bed), instantly closing the distance between them.

Gu Yuzhi closed his eyes and said, "Sleep for a while, I'll wake you when it's time."

Chixing had no choice but to close her eyes. She hadn't slept much last night, but now that she was lying next to Gu Yuzhi, she fell asleep almost instantly.
