Chapter 398: Not Collecting Work Payment

The children wanted to help, and Gu Xixi couldn't persuade them, so she thought about it and waved to Shitou to come over.

"Since they are all your friends, it would be best if you arrange what to eat and drink during the break."

"The food I share is all for you. You have to treat everyone well, is that ok?"

Shitou patted his chest and said, "It's a small matter. Leave it to me."

Gu Xixi whispered again, "Then your sister Lu and I will go in first, so that they won't be unable to let go."

"Tell your elder brother An the same thing."

Shitou nodded and said, "Okay!"

Gu Xixi led Lu Jing into the main room.

Simply wash off the dust on your hands and face, and you will feel relaxed as you return home.

Gu Xixi fell on the kang, stretched herself out like a big character, and sighed comfortably.

When Xiaohua saw the person who had returned after a long absence, she jumped up and tentatively sniffed its scent.

After confirming that they knew each other, he tilted his furry head and rubbed Gu Xixi's hand.

Lu Jing sat nearby, looking at the layout and furnishings of the house curiously.

Although it was her first time here, she felt comfortable from the bottom of her heart.

Gu Xixi asked, "How is it? If there is anything you are not used to, just tell us and we can find a way to solve it."

Lu Jing smiled and shook her head, "I feel very relaxed and comfortable."

“It’s like returning to my home in my previous life.”

Gu Xixi laughed and said, "As long as you are satisfied."

"The northwest is drier than the capital all year round. Remember to drink more water."

Lu Jing also let go of his hands and feet and lay down next to Gu Xixi. "Following you, am I still worried about not having water to drink?"

They both chuckled.

When he was in Beijing a few days ago, Lu Jing had already tasted all kinds of sweet soups.

Where had she ever tasted these things before?

It's easy to get addicted to it.

Drink at Xiaohe Mansion, and continue drinking at Ganyu Ju.

In the first two days, because she was full at every meal, Lu Jing didn't even eat.

Until her palate had grown sufficiently sophisticated.

Only with her adult rationality did she end her childish picky eating habits.

Lu Jing smiled and said, "I had never drunk it at that time. I tried it and found out what a good thing it is. It tastes much better than ordinary food."

"Who would have thought that drinking water could be addictive? You actually need willpower to control yourself from drinking too much."

Gu Xixi smiled without comment and thought, otherwise, this would be called "milk tea addiction" in modern times.

It's not an exaggeration at all, it's really addictive.

Lu Jing said, "Ganyuju's business is booming day by day, Miss He should be able to rest easy now."

“I just don’t know if it would be feasible to open a similar store in the northwest.”

Gu Xixi asked, "Do you want to open a store?"

Lv Jing said, "I have this idea, but I'm not in a hurry."

"I will first follow your lead and learn slowly, then slowly think about what I really want to do and what I am suitable for."

She sold her tea garden and now has some savings.

Following Gu Xixi to the northwest was not only to repay her kindness, but also to change her place and start a new life.

Gu Xixi said, "Okay, since you said so."

"Then let's talk about wages. Food and lodging are included. According to the conditions in the northwest, we will tentatively set it at one hundred yuan per month."

"In addition, there will be a bonus at the end of the year based on your performance."

"We may also raise wages in the future depending on the situation."

"If you find it acceptable, start from tomorrow."

Lu Jing was stunned. "I am repaying a favor, how can I still ask for wages? No, absolutely not."

Gu Xixi opened her eyes and looked at her, but was extremely serious.

"I didn't pay the corresponding price to buy you, so you and I are not in a master-servant relationship."

"You receive corresponding compensation for your work for me. Firstly, it is a recognition of your hard work. Secondly, I pay you so that I can use you as a matter of course."

Lu Jing thought silently for a long time, then nodded solemnly, "I accept the boss's conditions!"

Only then did Gu Xixi smile.

After the children finished their meal, they went back to their homes.

Aunt Zhang has already cleaned up the west room, especially the bedding, which has been replaced with brand new ones.

She came in with two bowls of poached eggs in sugar water and said with a smile, "Hurry up and eat."

"Xiao An was tired, so he ate in the kitchen and then went back to the backyard to sleep."

Gu Xixi sat up and said, "It was really hard for him to drive the car all the way."

Aunt Zhang watched the two girls eat and said, "This year's wheat ears are big and good. And it's not just ours. The whole village is gearing up for a good harvest."

"Many people have already planned how to thank you."

There is still more than a month before the wheat harvest.

Gu Xixi was in a hurry to come back, this was the most important reason.

The twenty days before wheat harvest are critical.

The wheat ears are in the filling stage at this time. Whether you can seize the opportunity to make the grains full is the key to significantly increasing the yield per mu.

It is equivalent to the final decisive period.

Gu Xixi took a sip of soup and said, "It's still too early to breathe a sigh of relief."

"We need to add foliar fertilizer every two days. This is the first time the villagers are doing it, so I have to keep an eye on it."

Foliar fertilizer spraying is different from traditional fertilization methods.

Although Gu Xixi taught her the method early on, she was still a little worried when it came to actually putting it into practice.

In addition, the timing of stopping watering before wheat harvest is also important.

Too early will cause the wheat grains to shrivel, while too late may cause the wheat to fall over.

Also consider watering amount.

Aunt Zhang looked at Lu Jing and asked with a smile, "Why is this child just staring at Xixi and not eating?"

"Don't you like the way the eggs are cooked?"

Lu Jing came back to her senses and said embarrassedly, "No, no, I like to eat."

"only……"

"It seems that when talking about farming, Xixi becomes a completely different person."

She paused, trying to describe her feelings, "It just feels powerful and reassuring."

"I just want to keep looking at her. I feel that no matter what I do, as long as it's with her, it's right!"

Aunt Zhang smiled, a little proudly, "You're not the only one, many people say so."

"Don't underestimate Xixi because she's young. The village chief always consults with her when there's something going on."

Gu Xixi had finished eating the fried egg and even drank up the soup.

She turned to Lu Jing and said, "Let's take a rest today. We will be busy starting tomorrow, at least until the wheat harvest."

"You have to be mentally prepared."

Lu Jing smiled, "No problem!"

It’s better to be busy, she is afraid of having nothing to do!

However, when he was about to rest, the old doctor came back from his medical visit at sunset and mentioned a long-missed name.

"Gu Tiezhu, the son of Gu Lao San, has always been crazy and stupid."

"When you were away, that guy begged me several times."

The old doctor had earlier learned from Aunt Zhang about the evil deeds done by Gu Laosan's family.

Gu Tiezhu's madness is entirely his own fault, and evil will be punished.

Therefore, the old doctor did not directly agree to treat this person. He wanted to wait for Gu Xixi to come back and ask for her opinion.

But just now, when the old doctor was on his way into the village, Gu Laosan and Liu knelt down to block his way and kowtowed.

The old doctor had no choice but to agree to take a look.

As to whether it can be cured is still a matter of debate.

Gu Xixi smiled and said, "After you read it, is there any cure?"

The old doctor groaned and said, "No need to treat it."

"Because I'm 60 to 70 percent sure even before I've taken a closer look, he's probably already awake."
