Chapter 44: Fishing

After Xu Yu'an insisted on choosing the university and major he wanted, his family cut off his credit card and he rarely visited the places he had been to before. In addition, Gu Jingsi usually helped him by transferring money directly, so their relationship had not been exposed in the past few years. While Yang Li and the others were still searching for Gu Jingsi's information, Xu Yu'an sent a message to Gu Jingsi: "Brother, what are you doing?"

The reply from the other end was quite quick: [If you want money, just ask the assistant. 】The implication is don’t bother me.

Xu Yuan laughed angrily [Can't I just care about you? 】

Gu Jingsi【Talk about things】

Xu Yu'an: [You should be careful when you go out recently. 】He thought that this was a kind of reminder. After all, Sister Ji was now the teacher of the entire network. Just like the other three people next to him, they were looking for attack points of Gu Jingsi indignantly.

This reminder was somewhat puzzling to Gu Jingsi. According to the original plan, he and Bai Hongkai should have gone down the mountain yesterday, but unfortunately the loggers on the village chief's side had not done a good job of ideological work. Their idea was nothing more than that they had to stay here, and if they wanted to rent it, they would have to pay more.

Gu Jingsi hated people who went back on their words the most, so he asked Bai Hongkai to find a suitable filming location again. However, the village chief kept asking them to give him another chance, and he would deal with that family. He rubbed his brows and said calmly: "If we can't solve it in three days, forget it."

Having said that, he still asked Bai Hongkai to continue looking for a suitable location. If he threatened him before the filming started, wouldn't that provide them with another opportunity like this? Gu Jingsi would never allow this to happen.

"Director Gu, I will do it as soon as possible." Bai Hongkai also understood his concerns. This time, he also stood on Director Gu's side. Even if the village chief reached an agreement with that person this time, what about next time? What about next time? It's obvious that this guy is a scoundrel. He did this before they started filming. It's a good thing he did it before filming started. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that someone asked him to do this.

Bai Hongkai was not the only one who had such thoughts. Especially after seeing the last message sent by Xu Yu'an, he frowned and dialed the phone directly. After the call was connected, he asked directly: "Did you hear any news?"

"What news?" This time, Xu Yu'an was the one who was confused.

"What do you mean?" Xu Yu'an asked.

"What do you mean by that reminder you just gave me?" While Gu Jingsi was speaking, his other hand was tapping the table unconsciously, but his mind was working at high speed. Who was the person who wanted to stop him this time? Is it the people in the circle, or the resistance from family? The latter should be impossible. He has already proved himself with his achievements, and they have accepted it.

"Have you really encountered trouble?" Xu Yu'an was shocked and jumped up from the bed immediately. Sister Ji's fans are so brave now. If a war breaks out, who should he fight against?

"The filming location was destroyed." Gu Jingsi said it simply and clearly.

"That shouldn't be the same thing. Didn't you publicly say before that a certain artist was a vase? She has a lot of traffic now. I asked you to be careful because I was worried that you would be framed by her fans." Xu Yu'an originally meant to be sarcastic, but at the same time he also hoped that he would not be so sharp in his words in the future.

"I always deal with things, not people. Well, if it's not me, then I'm hanging up." It seems that this accident was not instigated by someone, but was simply the result of human greed.

"Director Gu, what do you think of this place? It's less than 30 kilometers from here." Bai Hongkai quickly found a location nearby that met his requirements.

"It looks good. Wait until you see the real scene and make an appointment with them." After saying that, Gu Jingsi glanced at the message from his friend on his phone. They could arrive before five in the afternoon.

Yes, what he had just promised the village chief was just a temporary solution. These villages are generally very united, so when there are only him and Bai Hongkai, leaving head-on is not a good option.

These two days were probably the happiest days for Ji Qingzhi in the past hundred days. This morning, she went directly to the hospital. When she arrived at the ward, Aunt Chen had just finished washing Old Ji. As she had guessed before, Old Ji still had some difficulty walking and could only sit in a wheelchair most of the time. He was looking down at the wheelchair until Aunt Chen's voice rang out: "Miss Ji, you are here."

"Dad, how do you feel today? Are you feeling better?" Ji Qingzhi squatted down towards Ji Yuanfu.

"I'm feeling better. I want to go home." Ji Yuanfu spoke clearly, but also with great effort. He didn't know what was wrong with him. The unknown was the most frightening, so he wanted to go back early.

"I'm here to take you back today. Don't worry, the doctors said it's not a big problem. Continue to follow their treatment plan and you'll recover soon." Ji Qingzhi's words were not just to comfort him. After he went back, he could eat food made with well water every day and use well water to wash. She believed that his condition would get better and better.

Ji Yuanfu turned his head away and said nothing. He just wanted to go home, but he couldn't help but secretly look at Ji Qingzhi from the corner of his eye. He had been in a coma for almost two days, and he remembered all of Ji Qingzhi's muttering. In the past, he would be very happy when she came back to run the Ji's restaurant, but now he was not happy at all.

Half an hour later, the doctor did his routine ward rounds, then asked Ji Qingzhi to go to the office with him and gave him some instructions about rest. After signing another stack of declarations, Ji Qingzhi was finally able to take Old Ji out of the hospital, and Aunt Chen went back with them.

Away from the hospital environment, Ji Yuanfu was visibly happy. He tilted his head to look at the scenery outside and realized that only a hundred days had passed, and looking back at these things he felt as if he were in another world.

Because Ji Yuanfu was in the car, Ji Qingzhi drove very slowly this time. It was already ten o'clock when they returned to the Ji family's courtyard. Ji Qingzhi pushed Old Ji into the backyard and said in a cheerful tone: "Are you almost unable to recognize this place?"

"Vegetables," Ji Yuanfu was still planning the vegetables he had planted before.

"Yes, I've finished eating. I grew other vegetables that are better than yours." Her tone was full of complacency. Well, at this moment, let her forget about the well water.

The peppers, tomatoes and eggplants were growing well with the water from the well. The branches and leaves were swaying in the wind. Ji Yuanfu felt the peace and beauty at this moment. He nodded and said, "You are growing well."

"Yeah, I also dug a fish pond over there. When the flowers around it bloom, the backyard will be even more beautiful." Ji Qingzhi pushed him around in the yard to introduce his trophies to him.

Ji Yuanfu stared at the fish pond for a long time. This was something he had wanted to do for a long time, but for some reason, it was put on hold. He did not expect Qingzhi to complete it so quickly. In some ways, she was indeed more decisive than himself. In this respect, she was actually very similar to Qin Xiaoxiao.

"Does it look good?" Ji Qingzhi's eyes also fell on the fish pond. She remembered what Uncle Li and the others said last time. Old Ji canceled the fish pond plan because of Ms. Qin. Later, Ms. Qin left, and he did not continue to dig the fish pond. Was he waiting for her to come back?

"It looks good, Qingzhi. Thank you for your hard work during this period." Old Ji said these words with great effort and even coughed after he finished speaking.

Ji Qingzhi shook her head and looked at him, her tone full of seriousness: "It's not hard, Dad. I have decided to take over the restaurant, so you have to get better soon. There are still many things you haven't taught me yet."

"Okay." Ji Yuanfu reached out and touched Ji Qingzhi's hair. His Qingzhi had grown up, but the price was too high.

After taking Ji Yuanfu for a walk around the yard and informing Aunt Chen of the location of the room, Ji Qingzhi went to the front yard. She did not forget that she had other things to do today.

In addition to the meat sauce and braised dishes she makes daily, she also added a lottery batch today. Without the support of netizens, she would not have been able to redeem the Qingming Pills so quickly, so she is very grateful to them.

Every day seemed to be a repetition of yesterday's content, but Ji Qingzhi did not find it boring. She looked down at the points on the light screen. In just one week, the points had become 56,000. The points from the promotion rewards for the Late-Night Poisoning series were increasing. At this rate, she would be able to redeem Qingming Pills again in another week.

She got up and went to the backyard. A week was a big change for Ji Yuanfu. When he was just discharged from the hospital, he was worried that he would not be able to recover and would drag down Ji Qingzhi. Unexpectedly, every day after he came back, he could clearly feel that he was getting better and better. Now, he no longer had to waste energy to speak, and he no longer felt tired as before. The fear in my heart before came from his unknown symptoms. Now he is getting better every day, and the fear in my heart is slowly disappearing.

"Dad, feed less. Don't feed them to death." After returning, Ji Yuanfu had an additional hobby, which was feeding the chickens, ducks and fish in the pond.

"They won't die of bloating. They will only become fatter and fatter." Ji Yuanfu said gently as he looked at the fish jumping out of the water in the pond.

"Okay, it's for your body's nourishment anyway, you can feed it however you like." Ji Qingzhi's tone was helpless.

Ji Yuanfu liked to see her lively appearance now. He opposed her acting in the past, not only because he wanted her to inherit the restaurant, but more importantly, he saw that she was not happy at all.

The father and daughter stood in front of the fish pond, pointing at the fish in it. Finally, Ji Qingzhi said, "Dad, come fishing tomorrow. We'll eat whatever you catch."

"Okay, I'll try." Ji Yuanfu understood that she was looking for something to distract him, but what she didn't know was that he was not actually worried about whether he could walk or not. Besides, he had a hunch that he would get better.

"Boss, there's a customer up front who wants to see you." Li Yuanyuan's voice came.

"I'll be right there." Since the appointment system was changed, many diners would ask her to take photos with them, and she usually wouldn't refuse. But Ji Qingzhi didn't expect that the person who came this time was Gu Jingsi. When she saw his face, Ji Qingzhi couldn't help but grit her teeth.
