Chapter 172 Leave them to help(1/2)
Xu Jiaoxing remembered that there was a big foam box in the space, and she made up her mind that she would not be able to keep the ice and ice powder together tomorrow.
She is going to make a special trip to put the ice in the foam!
This foam is a good thing. Just cover it with some thick clothes like a cotton jacket to ensure that the ice cubes don't melt for about ten hours.
By that time, the ice powder will taste better.
In the afternoon, Mr. Mo was about to rush to Xie’s house to tell a story, and there were obviously fewer customers in the store, but even so, there were still intermittent customers coming to try it out.
Either buying crayfish or buying iced rice noodles, Xu Jiaoxing and the others were exhausted.
It was not until dark that everyone realized that the crayfish had been sold out!
Sister-in-law Guifen opened her mouth wide in shock.
During the silence, she thought she couldn't even sell a basket. It turned out that she was worried about it in vain. Jiaoxing had her own plans.
Sister Guifen was only glad that she didn't say those words, otherwise she would be laughing at me again.
Xu Jiaoxing originally planned to make spicy crayfish for everyone to eat at night, but now all the crayfish are sold out, so she has to take everyone out to eat.
Xie was still worried about Xu Changgen and left without eating.
When Sister Guifen saw her, she also wanted to go back and cook noodles.
It is not easy for Xu Jiaoxing to make money, and things in the West Market are also expensive, so she doesn't want Jiaoxing to waste this money.
But where could Xu Jiaoxing let her go back to cook noodles?
I have worked so hard for nothing, so I can't help but invite someone to have a meal, right?
But things in the West City are indeed more expensive, so Xu Jiaoxing took Guifen's sister-in-law and the others to the East City.
They randomly found a restaurant with a large family, ordered a boiled fish, a dry-fried intestines, and a braised pork.
She originally wanted to continue ordering, but was stopped by Guifen's sister-in-law: "Okay, Jiaoxing, it's enough for us three to eat. Why do you order so many dishes?"
Uncle Chuan nodded too. If he didn't drive a ox cart, he could still drink some wine.
Now that I can’t drink alcohol, it’s meaningless to order so many dishes.
Seeing this, Xu Jiaoxing had to nod, and asked the boss for a vegetarian soup, so he didn't order more.
In the blink of an eye, the food was served, and the three of them were very excited about what happened during the day.
Xu Jiaoxing thought that he had to hire people at the shop anyway, so she wanted to keep Uncle Chuan and Sister Guifen from here to help her.
As soon as she said this, Uncle Chuan naturally had no objection. He just said: "Follow Xingyao not only has meat to eat, but also drink wine. 3
An old man of such an old age is only willing to hire him.
Xu Jiaoxing smiled helplessly and promised to make Uncle Chuan a jar of good wine during the Chinese New Year, which made Uncle Chuan so happy.
Sister Guifen was a little unbelievable, and after a long time hesitated, "Jiaoxing, do you really want me to help you? But I'm so slow, I'm afraid of dragging you down."
Xu Jiaoxing was funny: "What are you saying? Sister Guifen, your habits will naturally be soon. You can stay here. I need you here."
Sister Guifen thought about it and agreed.
Anyway, my family has just finished the farming work, and for a while, there is no big work yet.
What's more, even if there is work, she told Jiaoxing that Jiaoxing would definitely agree.
After the three of them had a meal, Xu Jiaoxing paid, and then he returned to the village with a lot of talk and laugh.
That night, Uncle Chuan sent Xu Jiaoxing to the door of Sang Sanniang's house. Sang Sanniang's house was hidden, so Xu Jiaoxing pushed the door open and went in.
As soon as she walked into the yard, she saw Aman sleeping on Sang Sanniang's knees. Xu Jiaoxing wanted to take him away quietly.
Unexpectedly, the little guy woke up in a blink of an eye when he heard her voice.
Xu Jiaoxing held him in his arms, patted his back, coaxed him to sleep, and then went all the way home.
When he got home, Aman actually fell asleep again.
Xu Jiaoxing shook her head funny, put the little guy on the bed, and then fetched water to wash him. Gu Chunlai's voice came from the outside room: "Jiao Xing."
Xu Jiaoxing frowned, wondering why this person is here to do so late.
Just now, Gu Chunlai handed Xu Jiaoxing the book he bought.
Xu Jiaoxing looked at Gu Chunlai in surprise.
Gu Chunlai lowered his head and said a little embarrassedly: "I heard that it is the most popular book in the county these two days. If you can't understand it, I can read it to you."
His voice became smaller and smaller, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.
This feeling was like the time he passed the scholar exam, no, his heart beats like thunder than that time.
Xu Jiaoxing didn't understand what Gu Chunlai was thinking at first, but when she saw the words on the book, she was completely confused.
"Water Margin?"
That coincidence? The book she and Mr. Mo said is the same name!
Gu Chunlai bought a book with this name casually. Does this mean that now, in Lin County, the three words "Water Margin" have become popular?
Thinking of this, Xu Jiaoxing couldn't help but grin.
If her Water Margin really became popular, she and Mr. Mo would have to make another money!
"Are you a literate person?" Gu Chunlai was extremely surprised.
He really didn't expect Xu Jiaoxing to be able to read.
Originally, after he discovered his thoughts about Xu Jiaoxing, he was still a little unwilling to accept it at first, but now, looking at Xu Jiaoxing again, he felt that no one could compare with her.
Gu Chunlai felt that he and Xu Jiaoxing had been under the same roof for so long, it was simply a waste of time!
He still doesn't understand her so much.
Thinking of the past, he felt a little guilty again.
He let out a breath of secretly. No matter what, Gu Chunlai will definitely treat her well in the future and can no longer dislike her.
At this moment, when Xu Jiaoxing looked at the contents of this book called Water Margin, she was shocked!
Isn’t this what she told Mr. Mo?
It's exactly the same!
After silence, Xu Jiaoxing looked up, shook the book in her hand at Gu Chunlai, and asked directly: "Where did you buy Water Margin?"
"I bought it in the county. They said that this is the one I've been popular recently. I thought that if you can't understand it, I'm OK."
As he had just said, suddenly, she muttered again: "I bought it from the county... Mr. Mo?"
Who published the book privately? Does this matter have anything to do with Mr. Mo?
Gu Chunlai didn't know what Xu Jiaoxing was thinking, but he could see that Xu Jiaoxing was really interested in this book.
He lowered his head and looked at her. Gu Chunlai smiled, feeling that he had spent the right money.
Thinking of this, he whispered softly: "The first volume of this book is released. It is said that there are several volumes left, but it's okay, I will definitely buy it for you when the time comes."
At this moment, Xu Jiaoxing suddenly looked at him, looking puzzled: "You buy it for me, who wants you to buy it for me?"
As she said that, she threw the book into his hands.
Gu Chunlai looked anxious: "Jiaoxing, don't you like this book very much? Why are you?"
Why did you suddenly change your attitude?
Gu Chunlai has been a person who is devoted to books since he was a child. If he really wants him to express his understanding of the girl's family, it will start with Xu Jiaoxing.
At that time, Xu Jiaoxing kept blocking him all day long, which made his woman feel fearful.
Now, he likes her and wants to coax her, but doesn't want to, but he doesn't understand why she changes so much.
After Xu Jiaoxing realized that Gu Chunlai was abnormal, she finally couldn't help but say coldly to him: "Gu Chunlai, aren't you stupid? Why are you calling me? When did we get so close? I tell you, leave quickly, I don't want this book. Don't say these strange words in front of me again in the future."
When Gu Chunlai saw that he was about to close the door again, he hurriedly stuck his hand on the door: "Jiaoxing, I know you still like me, otherwise you wouldn't have let Aman give me such an expensive inkstone. In the past, when you were in the Gu family, you were like this and always considered me. Now, you have never changed."
"Inkstone?" Xu Jiaoxing couldn't understand.
Gu Chunlai hurriedly said, "On the day of Master's birthday, Aman has already told me everything. I understand your feelings. Please wait for me for two years. When I gain fame and fortune, I will definitely give you a title."
Xu Jiaoxing subconsciously turned around and looked into the room, and just met Aman's guilty gaze.
Gu Chunlai just thought he was convinced by Xu Jiaoxing, and hurriedly said, "I also know that you are uncomfortable when you remember the past, but I am sincere to you. If we are together now, I will definitely be affected, but your thoughts towards me have never changed. If you wait for me for two years, you will definitely be willing, right?"
Xu Jiaoxing finally clarified the future.
She said, why did Gu Chunlai suddenly change his attitude towards her?
It turns out that it is because of the inkstone!
However, Gu Chunlai was willing to coax the original owner to cheer for the rich man Ji for money. Now, it is not surprising that he will coax her for money!
Xu Jiaoxing looked at Gu Chunlai and felt more and more that he looked like a villain.
Is this looking at the inkstone being valuable and wanting to save money from her?
I said I would wait for a few years, but I still think this widow's reputation is unpleasant and I don't want to get involved with her!
