During dinner

Thinking about Gu Rong's attitude that afternoon, Gu Xing asked, "Rong, do you know those two people just now?"

Thinking about the scene of being harassed, Gu Rong shoveled down two mouthfuls of rice: "I don't know them, but they're definitely not good people. Brother, you should stay away from them."

"Okay, if Arong doesn't like it, then brother should stay away from them."

That's what they said, but when Chu Jianshu arrived with his things the next morning, Gu Xing felt too embarrassed to slap the smiling man.

"Jianshu, why are you carrying this? Who are you?"

Chu Jianshu put the things on the table and explained his purpose: "Brother, aren't I going to build a house later?"

But I live in the educated youth compound, and I still have to work in the fields later, so it's inconvenient for me to keep an eye on the construction of the houses here.

I heard from the brigade leader that Comrade Gu Rong has time to cut grass for the cattle every day, so I wanted to trouble her to keep an eye on things for me, so that I wouldn't let her watch over things for nothing. I'll pay her for her work.

Based on her sister's attitude yesterday, Gu Xing felt that this matter would not work out.

But since the other party brought things to his door, he felt embarrassed to refuse: "I can't make the decision on this. You have to ask Arong. She's still sleeping. Wait a while and I'll go wake her up."

"No need, no need, leave the things here for now, I'll come back this afternoon," Chu Jianshu waved his hand repeatedly and quickly left the Gu family.

Gu Xing didn't even have time to let him take the things away before he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

He wanted to return the items, but with the meeting time approaching, there was no time to spare.

Gu Xing could only move his things to his room and wait until he returned at noon to ask his sister's opinion.

Gu Rong slept until almost midnight before waking up.

Smelling the aroma of food outside, Gu Rong successfully restarted. After getting up and washing up, the food was ready.

Fearing that talking about it during the meal would affect her younger sister's appetite, Gu Xing waited until they were full before telling her about Chu Jianshu.

Just as Gu Rong was about to refuse, she heard Chu Jianshu's voice from the doorway: "Is it convenient for you, brother?"

Turning back to meet Chu Jianshu's gaze, Gu Xing waved for him to come in: "It's convenient, Arong is here, you can just ask her."

Gu Rong frowned as she looked at the man in front of her.

Chu Jianshu seemed oblivious to Gu Rong's disdain, and with a smile, he explained to Gu Rong again what he had told Gu Xing.

Not only did he say that, but he also took out a box and said, "If you'd like, you can have the contents of this box as a thank you fee."

Gu Rong didn't even look at it and pushed the things back: "No, I don't lack money or anything."

"Are you sure you don't want to take a look?" As if knowing she would refuse, Chu Jianshu opened the box, revealing its contents.

Gu Rong looked at the contents without any reaction, but A Xi saw it and immediately started exclaiming in her mind, "Master, Master, accept it, this will be very useful in the future."

Staring at the crystal-like object, Gu Rong couldn't discern anything different: "What is it?"

Ah Xi hesitated, "I can't say. I can only say that this thing is very useful for the hidden mission later on."

Looking at the tasks on the panel, they are all rescue tasks, but the last two have not been triggered.

Although she wanted to know what it was, she was resistant to Chu Jianshu.

Gu Rong frowned and stared at A Xi: "Are you sure it will work?"

Ah Xi's neck was almost broken, fearing that Gu Rong would refuse: "Yes, yes, yes, it's useful, extremely useful. With this, not only will it greatly help the mission, but you will also receive a huge fortune, a huge fortune..."

Gu Rong: "Oh, then I'll just steal it tonight, why bother with all that trouble?"

Ah Xi opened her mouth in shock, never expecting Gu Rongwu to arrive so late: "Master, you......."

Seeing Ah Xi's heart pounding with anger, Gu Rong closed the box and accepted it: "Okay, the things are mine, and I'll keep an eye on the house for you."

But let me make this clear from the start: I can't get up in the morning, and I have to cut grass for the cattle after lunch. I can only keep an eye on things for you during the noon and afternoon hours; I'm not responsible for anything else.

Chu Jianshu had only wanted to find something to do and have a legitimate reason to contact the other party, so how could he refuse? "Then it's settled. We'll start construction tomorrow. I'll have to trouble Comrade Gu."

"Hmm," Gu Rong nodded perfunctorily, and took her things back to her room.

I opened the box and looked at the pale green pendant inside. It looked like crystal, nothing more. I really didn't understand what was so special about it.

Put the items into the box and then store them in your spatial storage.

Then, carrying his small basket and sickle, he ignored the people in the yard and walked quickly toward the back mountain.

She had only taken a few steps when she felt someone following her.

Turning her head, Gu Rong saw Chu Jianshu and frowned, "Why are you following me?"

Chu Jianshu raised his hand and shrugged: "I was just wandering around. The mountains are so big, I didn't follow you. Don't slander me."

"Oh," Gu Rong turned and walked up the mountain. When she reached the spot she had found earlier, she squatted down and started cutting grass for the cows.

Chu Jianshu was not far from her, so she didn't dare to move too quickly.

Gu Rong had only been cutting grass for a few minutes when Chu Jianshu approached with the curiosity of a child: "Is this how you cut grass for cattle? It's amazing, can I try it?"

The sickle was bound to her; if anyone else held it, it would be just an ordinary sickle, and she wasn't afraid of being discovered.

Gu Rong wouldn't refuse help from someone, and handed the sickle to the other person directly.

Gu Rong sat to the side, browsing the system panel and starting to buy things.

Chu Jianshu kept cutting grass for the cattle without complaining of being tired, and his mouth kept beeping... beep beep beep.....

Gu Rong just listened without replying to the other person.

But Chu Jianshu is like a chatterbox, constantly babbling on and on. I really wish there was a one-click mute function.
