Chapter 28
Chapter 28: To Please
“Yo, Young Master Gu is going to catch the sea? Then you have to stand farther away, the tide is very big today.”
Gu Jingyun blinked, couldn’t help but glance at Baolu, and became vigilant in his heart, but…
“Young Master Gu is so handsome today, and the clothes look good too.”
“It’s better to take my boy with me if you are going to catch the sea. He can’t do anything else, but he is very good at finding fish and digging shrimps.”
Every villager they met on the road greeted Gu Jingyun in a friendly and cordial manner. At first, Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu were still vigilant, but at this time they were no longer numb.
Li Baolu even suspected that she had traveled to a different dimension after a sleep, and suggested to Gu Jingyun, “Why don’t we go back to sleep now, maybe wake up again.”
Gu Jingyun gave her a contemptuous look, raised his chin and headed to the beach like a king patrolling the territory.
Not only adults, but the children in the village have also changed their attitude towards Gu Jingyun. In the past, when they saw Gu Jingyun, they either glared or ignored him.
Li Baolu was completely stunned, “Did we become a heartthrob after a sleep?”
“You think too much,” Gu Jingyun said with contempt for her: “There are only two reasons for the sudden change of people’s attitudes towards people. One is that one party suddenly finds out that the other party is a good person, and the previous discords are all misunderstandings; The other party got a lot of benefits, making them involuntarily try to please the other party. The first one is impossible. The last fight involved all the children over the age of six in the whole village. The people in the village hated me to death, and the misunderstanding was not resolved. Say,” Gu Jingyun sneered: “And I’m not a good person, so it can only be the second.”
Gu Jingyun’s eyes wandered, and the corner of his mouth couldn’t help but lift up, and said happily: “It seems that they have taken a fancy to my method of using fire to open up wasteland.”
Li Baolu said: “They all came to help last night? It’s nothing to teach them.”
Gu Jingyun snorted softly: “It’s nothing to sell them a face.”
Li Baolu couldn’t help but smile, stepped forward and took his hand and strode forward.
Gu Jingyun’s face was full of disgust, but he also held Li Baolu’s hand.
Children over the age of three from the village gathered by the seaside. Everyone stood by the side with wooden barrels or backpacks, waiting for the tide to recede before rushing to pick up seafood.
Gu Jingyun pulled Li Baolu to stand on a big rock and looked from afar. A layer of wind and waves on the majestic sea pushed a layer of wind and waves forward. A fierce sea breeze was blowing on the face, and people could hardly stand. Gu Jingyun held Li Baolu tightly. , When I looked up to the sea again, I saw a layer of waves rushing towards my face, pouring down like a tall building, rushing onto the beach and slapping on the reef.
The sea water almost rushed to their feet, and the children exclaimed loudly, looking at the rapidly receding sea water with bright eyes.
This time the wave is so big and the retreat hastily, there must be a lot of seafood left.
When the tide receded far away, the adults who came to ensure the safety of the children blew their whistle, and the children immediately rushed to the beach with cheers like uncaged birds.
Gu Jingyun pulled Li Baolu to stand on the stone only to feel broad-minded and refreshed, “Baolu, your heart is like a sea, what else in the world can’t tolerate?”
Li Baolu praised: “Good ambition!”
Gu Jingyun raised his chin proudly.
Li Baolu felt that he didn’t look like a tolerant sea at all, but rather like a proud peacock!
She couldn’t help but pursed her lips and smiled.
Zhang Erlang kicked Zhang Liulang, raised his chin and pointed at the two people on the stone, “Go find your friend soon!”
Zhang Liulang hesitated and didn’t dare to move, Zhang Erlang kicked his **** and said, “What an idiot, didn’t you see everyone fawning on them? You’ve been running behind their **** for so long, why don’t you hurry up? ”
Except for the upright Zhang Dachui, there are no idiots in the Zhang family. When Zhang Dachui went home last night, he said that the people in the village were eager to curry favor with Qin Xinfang, who wanted to know the tricks of using fire to open up wasteland. .
Their family has more land and less land, and the crime is not light. The annual labor service is heavier than that of other families. Moreover, their family has no support outside, and it is impossible for them to have an amnesty.
Those who were exiled as officials could still hope for pardon, but they made up their minds early on to take root here.
Since this is the case, the fields cannot be less.
Although there are only nineteen households in a village, the wasteland is also limited, and they have to cultivate as many fields as possible before others.
There are six brothers in the Zhang family. In the future, there won’t be much land when the family is separated. When will it be better if they don’t work hard at this time?
So, Zhang Liulang and Zhang Ermei came in handy, they were the only two people in the village who had friendship with Gu Jingyun.
Zhang Liulang and Zhang Ermei, who were given a great task, ran to the two of them bravely, skipping Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu to say hello, “Baolu, are you coming to catch the sea today?”
“Uncle said that this tide might be the biggest this year, so we came to watch the fun,” Li Baolu stood on tiptoe to look at their tall baskets and asked, “Why don’t you go pick up seafood?”
The tide was very strong this time, and the retreat was urgent, but a lot of good things were left behind. Did you not see the people on the beach going crazy?
“My brothers went to pick it up, we won’t be needed,” Zhang Liulang patted his chest and said, “Are you guys unable to grab someone else? It doesn’t matter, I’ll take you.”
Gu Jingyun glanced at him and said, “I don’t fight with others.”
Zhang Liulang walked directly beside Li Baolu, and said courteously: “Some marine goods are buried under the sand, and they have to be dug up. I’ll teach you how to see if there are good things under the sand.”
Gu Jingyun saw Zhang Liulang circling around Li Baolu, but Li Baolu not only did not refuse, but also looked at him seriously with round eyes, Gu Jingyun was immediately dissatisfied, stepped forward and grabbed Li Baolu’s hand, and said with a sullen face, “You don’t want to eat lobster. Come on, I’ll take you to find it.”
Zhang Liulang immediately said excitedly when he heard the words: “I know where there are lobsters. They like to hide under the reefs the most. They don’t like to look for lobsters, so no one will ask for them. Let’s go, I’ll take you there.”
Seeing him stealing Li Baolu’s attention, Gu Jingyun immediately glared at him!
Zhang Liulang was confused. In the past, he was happy as long as he pleases Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun. Why doesn’t this method work today?
Li Baolu felt that Gu Jingyun was now like a child who was robbed of his beloved toy, so he couldn’t help holding his hand to comfort him: “Let’s go with Brother Liulang, he is more familiar with the sea than us.”
Gu Jingyun’s face turned slightly pale.
Zhang Liulang and Zhang Ermei saw Gu Jingyun angry and happy, and they were a little confused. They didn’t want to think about it. They just led the way, but they lamented in their hearts. Geniuses are so strange and moody.
The children who kept peeking at Gu Jingyun found that Zhang Liulang had put the seafood he found into the small backpack Li Baolu was carrying, and they all cursed “treacherously” in their hearts.
Remembering the instructions of the adults at home, the children can only pick some good seafood to send to Gu Jingyun no matter how unwilling they are.
The Zhang family has already started to bribe, they can’t be too far behind.
After a while, Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu had a lot of sea goods piled up in front of them, each of them just stuffed the stuff into their hands and reported their name, maybe they were still grumpy about the previous fight, or Afraid of Gu Jingyun’s rejection, everyone left as soon as they put down their things and registered their names, and Li Baolu couldn’t even shout.
Gu Jingyun looked at the seafood on the ground thoughtfully. The fresh fish jumped twice on the beach, trying to move towards the ocean, but because of the sand under him, he couldn’t move…
He raised his head and said to Li Baolu: “No need to call, since they gave it, we will take it.”
“But our family can’t eat so much.”
“Then just dry it like everyone else and sell it.” Gu Jingyun flipped through the seafood in front of him indifferently, and said, “I’ve never been to Qiongzhou Mansion since I grew up.”
Some villagers in Yicun also sell fresh seafood in the county, but most of them sell them to merchants in the county after drying them. After all, Yicun is quite far from the county seat of Qiongzhou Prefecture, so it is a waste of time to sell fresh seafood. .
But the Qin family has never made seafood, and when the things were brought back to the Qin family, Qin Xinfang and He Zipei stared at these still fresh seafood.
Gu Jingyun picked out ten large lobsters and put them aside, saying: “Aunt, we want to eat large lobsters at noon, you can do the rest.”
“Wait,” Uncle Qin grabbed his nephew’s back collar, pointed to the things in the basket and asked, “What about these things?”
“Uncle and aunt figured it out. They were all given by people in the village. By the way, Baolu said that wasting food is shameful, so don’t do shameful things.”
Qin Xinfang twitched the corners of his mouth, what if he wanted to beat his nephew?
Since it was sent by the villagers, it can’t be sent back, lest everyone think that the Qin family is rejecting them and finally ease the relationship between them, Qin Xinfang doesn’t want to go back to freezing point again.
But they really don’t know how to deal with these marine goods, so Qin Xinfang can only ask Zhang Dachui for advice.
Zhang Dachui brought his two sons and a daughter to help with pouting, and rudely taught Qin Xinfang: “Master Qin, I didn’t tell you, you have been here in Qiongzhou for more than five years, but you can’t even dry fish. , how will you live in the future?”
Qin Xinfang nodded to show that he was taught, and said, “That’s why I have to ask Brother Zhang for advice. All these must be learned slowly.”
Zhang Dazhui immediately asked curiously, “Could it be that the capital stopped sending you money? That’s really pitiful.” His face was full of schadenfreude.
Qin Xinfang: “…”
Children of Zhang Family: …Dad, you can just gloat in misfortune in your heart, why do you show it on your face?
Fortunately, Mr. Qin Xinfang has a large number of people, and he does not have the same knowledge as Zhang Dachui, so he still happily teaches and learns.
