Everyone saw Gu Yecheng in person and confirmed that Gu Yecheng had indeed awakened. It wasn’t mere speculation, and their smiles grew even more charming, "Young Master Gu really is blessed by heaven, he will surely be a man of great wealth and honor in the future. Congratulations."
As the saying goes, ’What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.’ Having survived this brush with death, Young Master Gu will definitely enjoy great fortune and honor.
"Thank you for your blessings and auspicious words, uncles and grandfathers," Gu Yecheng said with a smile, "This time, I really had one foot in the Ghost Gate. I could wake up firstly because of my grandfather’s medical treatment and his refusal to give up, and secondly thanks to my wife’s unwavering support. It is because of their persistence that I was able to wake up."
"Gu the great sage healer reborn, unrivaled in medicine, we admire you in our family," they praised.
"The love between Young Madam Gu and Young Master Gu is strong as gold, truly enviable."
Xiaofeng listened to their words, also smiling faintly.
Old Gu looked at Xiaofeng and asked, "Have you had breakfast yet?"
Xiaofeng shook her head: "Not yet, it’s about time for lunch soon anyway."
Indeed, she had gotten up late today, already past ten o’clock, and by this time, skipping breakfast for lunch made more sense.
"I brought back some sweet potatoes from Shihe Village last night. The auntie at home cooked some; I’ll have her bring some up for you to eat," Old Gu suggested.
"Thank you, Grandpa," Xiaofeng responded.
Old Gu had the auntie bring up the sweet potatoes she cooked in the morning. She reheated them quickly before bringing them up.
Gu Yecheng was chatting with the guests nearby while she ate the sweet potatoes on the side.
Thin-skinned, red-fleshed, soft, and steaming hot right off the stove.
She absentmindedly peeled them, occasionally biting into one.
Seeing her eating sweet potatoes, Haige next to her felt a sudden appetite and thought they looked quite delicious in her hands.
Xiaofeng probably noticed her gaze and offered her a sweet potato, "Would you like one?"
Haige smiled at her and reached out to take it.
Imitating Xiaofeng, she gently peeled it and then took a bite. It was sweet, soft, and indeed quite tasty.
The two pretty girls looked charming as they ate, making the food seem all the more appetizing. Bai Liuniang turned to Xiaofeng and said, "Girl, pass me one too. Yours looks pretty good, and it should taste fine."
Xiaofeng handed one to Bai Grandma, "Here, Grandma Bai, try this."
"I’ll have one too," another elderly guest said, also wanting to try.
For a moment, everyone stopped chatting and gathered to eat sweet potatoes. Seeing this scene, Prime Minister Gu’s stern face twitched into a smile.
"These sweet potatoes are not bad. Where did you buy them?" Bai Liuniang was always picky, but these sweet potatoes were indeed good, soft and moderately sweet, much better than the usual ones.
"We bought them from a farmer uncle," Xiaofeng said with a smile.
"Indeed, they are tastier than others I’ve had before. Ask him if he still has any, and if so, help us bring some home," one grandfather declared, wanting to buy some directly.
"Yes, have some sent to our home too, they are quite good," another added.
"His family doesn’t have a small crop, surely there are some left," Xiaofeng didn’t refuse, seeing that they were the ones who asked.
After these people left, Gu Yecheng joked with Xiaofeng: "They originally came to see me, but you turned it into a sweet potato sales conference."
Xiaofeng wiped her hands with a napkin: "I didn’t intend to sell them, but these sweet potatoes are indeed tempting, appealing to everyone."
"I know your little tricks; that deliberately slow gesture when you eat, and the look of enjoyment when you put it in your mouth, made even me want to eat, not to mention them."
"I can’t help it, who makes me look not so bad? They say if you’re beautiful, whatever you eat looks like a treat, right?" Xiaofeng flirted with Yecheng, giving a coquettish look.
Gu Yecheng playfully tapped her nose, "Naughty. It looks like you’ll be making another trip to Shihe Village, when are you going?"
"After lunch," which was coming up soon.
"I have time this afternoon; I’ll accompany you."
"Okay." Xiaofeng wasn’t sure if he was really free, but his desire to go with her was probably because he was worried something might happen to her.
Never mind, having him by her side made her happy.
After lunch, Xiaofeng, with her boy and girl twins, and Gu Yecheng set off together.
"Mom, are we going to that same place as yesterday?" Xiaobao asked, holding a snack, accidentally getting some on her fingers, which she was now sucking on.
