Chapter 45: The Male Protagonist’s Grandfather

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“I dare say that there is absolutely no such thing as dregs of sea pepper in this world. The main reason is that this pepper has only been introduced to Great Zhou by the male protagonist’s grandfather for less than ten years. Oh, that’s right, the male protagonist’s grandfather! Mother, I remember now. The male protagonist’s grandfather is Master Zhou of the Zhou family town. The article mentioned that almost twenty years after the appearance of the pepper, the male protagonist’s grandfather also offered potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn!” Gu Nian’s eyes suddenly widened. It was as if she had seen gold.

“I thought you didn’t remember? How did you know that the chili pepper had only appeared a dozen years ago?” Cai Xiaolian asked.

“That’s what grandfather said just now. It was mentioned in the book that because of the chili pepper, the male protagonist’s mother had an affinity with his father. Later on, the male protagonist’s mother was killed by someone, and the male protagonist did not have a good life. Almost twenty years later, the male protagonist had offered sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes again, allowing the male protagonist to leave his name with the emperor. The grandfather said that the chili pepper was planted by Master Zhou of the Zhou family town first. So, Master Zhou of our Zhou family town is the male protagonist’s maternal grandfather!” Gu Nian did not see where the male protagonist’s mother’s maternal home was in the book.

“No wonder these things did not appear in my memory. So they haven’t appeared yet! Nian Nian, then where did Master Zhou find the sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn? I kind of want to eat them.” These foods appeared in Cai Xiaolian’s mind.

“He didn’t mention it. His grandfather was just a bystander. Let me do the math. Xin Xin is ten years old this year. The male protagonist is six years older than Xin Xin. If he is sixteen years old, the male protagonist would still be sick and be raised in his father’s manor. Their family seems to be from Yu Zhou.” Gu Nian thought about the plot in the book.

“Yu Zhou? Isn’t that the neighboring state capital?” Cai Xiaolian asked in surprise.

“It’s fine. The male protagonist had a hard time dealing with his stepmother’s people in the early stages. He would only slowly recover after his grandfather had offered potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn.” Gu Nianzhi wasn’t worried at all.

“I’m back! Sister, Mother, what should I do?” Gu Xin was sweating profusely from running. She didn’t seem to have stopped at all!

Gu Xin was back, and the mother and daughter did not say anything else.

Gu Nian asked Gu Xin to sit down and rest for a while. She and Cai Xiaolian took out the wooden bucket and started to slaughter the chilies in the yard.

The wooden bucket was not tall, only reaching the knees of an adult. It had a radius of about half a meter.

Cai Xiaolian put the washed chilies into the bucket, and Gu Nianzhi picked up the guillotine and started to slaughter them.

This guillotine was used for slaughtering pigs and grass while standing up, so there was no need to sit down and bend over. It was less tiring.

“Sister, why are you slaughtering the chilies?” Gu Xin asked curiously.

“To make something delicious. By the way, mother, Xin Xin, you two go to the mill and grind the rice fine! You’ll need the rice noodles later.” Gu Nian added.

“Your grandmother’s house has them. Xin Xin, who’s at your grandmother’s house?” Cai Xiaolian asked.

“Only Uncle and Aunt. Grandpa and Grandma have gone to town. Fourth Uncle has gone to Grandpa Yang’s house to work. Eldest Cousin has gone to carry firewood. Brother En has gone to school,” Gu Xin said one by one as she counted with her fingers.

“That’s fine! I’ll take the rice to your grandparents’ house and ask your uncle for help. I’ll go and see your little cousin!” Cai Xiaolian made up her mind when she heard this.

The old lady and the old man were not at home. The smart ones were not there either. Only the honest eldest brother and his wife were left.

Cai Xiaolian took all the rice she bought the day before yesterday and ground it. She had no choice. She had slaughtered so many chilies. She could not do without enough rice flour!
