Chapter 123 Gu Mingyue
Gu Mingyue was a well-known "spoiled girl" among the children of high-ranking officials in Beijing.
His parents hold high positions, and his elder brother Gu Zhongzhang was a prominent figure in the military academy. After graduation, he went into politics and had a smooth career with a bright future.
It can be said that this girl grew up in a pampered family and could get anything she wanted.
But she insisted on following her "true love" - a young man who came from nowhere to work in the countryside, under the pretext of "experiencing life and pursuing pure love."
Gu Zhongzhang was so angry that his head hurt: "It's obvious that man has other intentions! He is probably coming for our family."
Gu Mingyue was stubborn: "He is not that kind of person!"
"Okay, even if you two are truly in love, you don't have to follow him to the countryside. True love should stand the test of time. Why don't you stay in the capital and wait for him to come back?"
"No, Wang Aihua is so outstanding, what if she falls in love with someone else!"
Gu Zhongzhang held his forehead with his hand, he couldn't hide his urge to kill someone with a knife.
——Well, I can’t keep this sister anymore.
On the first day in the countryside, Gu Mingyue was dumbfounded.
It was a dilapidated mud house with leaky windows and even the toilet was a dry toilet.
She tried to suppress her discomfort and wanted to complain to her "lover", but he acted very well, with a heavy face, and blamed himself: "It's all my fault that I'm incompetent and made you suffer."
"Go away, go far away, go back to your city and eat fine food. Don't waste your time here. I'm not worth it."
Gu Mingyue suddenly felt so distressed that her eyes welled up with tears.
Onlooker: “…”
What's even more outrageous is that after just a few days, she found out that her "lover" had many female confidantes, and they were very affectionate with each other and didn't take her seriously at all.
She was so angry that she threw her luggage on the spot. Wang Aihua coaxed her: "Mingyue, I am the only one who wants you when you have such a bad temper. He is just an ordinary friend of mine, don't misunderstand me!"
Gu Mingyue: “???”
——It turns out that the clown is actually me?!
When Gu Mingyue was squatting on the edge of the field crying her heart out, Song Wan and Xiaobai appeared.
Song Wan handed over a tissue, with a look of disgust on her face: "Wipe it off, you have ruined the reputation of the girls in the Forty-Nine City."
Gu Mingyue sobbed and said, "Wang Aihua said it was a misunderstanding, I believe him!"
Xiaobai calmly added: "Love-brain is a disease, it must be treated!"
Later, Wang Aihua revealed his true colors in front of everyone, and got what he wanted, and was sent to labor reform.
After being cheated, Gu Mingyue finally came to her senses and her perspective on men has improved.
One day, she sighed in front of the mirror: "My skin has become rough after working in the countryside for so many days..."
Song Wan said casually: "Apply a facial mask, it works."
Gu Mingyue's eyes lit up: "Please teach me."
From then on, she became Song Wan's follower, often going in and out of the Lin family, and was taken care of by the Lin brothers and sisters, especially the eldest brother, whose cooking was so delicious!
After returning to the city after passing the college entrance examination, Gu Mingyue changed her love-brain problem and decided to pursue a career!
It is just in time that the spring breeze of reform is blowing across the earth.
Therefore, with the financial support from parents and brothers, China’s first high-end beauty salon - "Ming Yue Pavilion" was officially opened.
Song Wan provided the traditional herbal formula as a share in the company and was also responsible for marketing planning, while Gu Mingyue personally took on the role of boss.
On the opening day, lesbians from all over the city lined up to try it out, and the business was so booming that it made headlines in newspapers.
Gu Zhongzhang looked at his sister's high-spirited appearance and couldn't help but sigh: "If I had known that a broken heart would make her work harder, I should have found someone to deceive her feelings."
Song Wan: "...Are you really my brother?"
The beauty salon is getting bigger and bigger, and Gu Mingyue has become a new business elite. In order to get raw materials, she searches everywhere for good herbal medicine bases.
After some investigation, Gu Mingyue decided to invest in a herbal medicine planting base in Longshan Village.
The sisters in Beijing were curious: "China is a vast country with abundant resources, why must it be Longshan Village?"
She held a thick stack of investigation reports in her hands, proving that Longshan Village was extremely suitable for the growth of herbs, from soil to water source to climate.
In fact, in addition to the above factors, she also had some selfish motives. She had developed a habit of freeloading, so she wanted to eat the food cooked by the eldest brother of the Lin family.
The first time Gu Mingyue ate at the Lin family, she had the mentality of "just simple country food, just a couple of bites".
As a result, when Lin Guohua brought out a plate of fried wild mushrooms with bacon, she was stunned - the mushrooms were fresh and tender, the bacon was salty and fragrant, shiny but not greasy, sprinkled with a handful of green garlic, the aroma went straight to her head.
"This...did you do this?" Gu Mingyue widened her eyes.
Lin Guohua smiled innocently: "There's nothing good in the mountains, so just stir-fry it."
Gu Mingyue: “…”
This is called casually stir-frying? ? His casualness and her casualness are definitely not the same casualness!
She ate two bowls of rice in silence, and before leaving she glanced at the remaining soup in the pot with relish.
From then on, Gu Mingyue became a follower, either following behind Song Wan or using the name of her elder brother Gu Zhongzhang.
Since then, the frequency of visits to Longshan Village has increased dramatically.
"Brother Lin, I'm here to test the soil acidity and alkalinity today!" (I've actually tested it three times)
"Brother Lin, this herb planting plan needs further discussion!" (The plan has already been decided)
"Brother Lin, I... I'm lost!" (Standing at the gate of Lin's yard and lost)
Lin Guohua didn't expose her, but he would always make an extra meal for her every time.
One day, Gu Mingyue held a bowl of bamboo shoots stewed with chicken and squinted her eyes happily: "Brother Lin, with your cooking skills, you can definitely open a restaurant that is packed with people!"
Lin Guohua scratched his head: "I'm usually busy with work, so I don't have time to open a restaurant."
After graduating from university, Lin Guohua returned to Longshan Village and took over the position of village chief.
In his words, "I cannot leave this land. I hope it can become better and better just like me."
Normally, he would only cook a few more dishes when Gu Mingyue came, but most of the time he would just do it by himself.
Gradually, Gu Mingyue was no longer satisfied with being just a diner.
She started to "help" with the cooking - although she usually ended up making things worse.
"Brother Lin, how do you cut these potato shreds?" (The shreds are thicker than your fingers)
"Brother Lin, how do you control the heat?" (Almost burned through the pot)
"Brother Lin——"
Lin Guohua was not annoyed. He just took the knife from her hand silently, stood behind her, put his big hand on the back of her hand, and guided her to cut slowly: "Relax your wrist, and cut the knife diagonally..."
The tips of Gu Mingyue's ears turned red.
Gu Mingyue discovered that Lin Guohua was not only good at cooking, but also good at taking care of people.
If she stayed up late, he would carefully prepare an extra bowl of red dates and longan soup;
When she caught a cold and had a fever, he cooked ginger and brown sugar porridge, blew it cool and fed it to her spoonful by spoonful;
She even casually mentioned that "the pea yellow in Sijiu City is delicious", and the next day he used wild peas from the mountains to make a copycat version of pea yellow, which was just the right sweetness and melted in the mouth.
Gu Mingyue thought as she ate: "This man... is too good, isn't he?"
One night, Gu Mingyue worked overtime at the breeding base until the early morning and was extremely hungry.
She somehow found her way to Lin's house and found that the light in the kitchen was still on.
When she pushed the door open, she saw Lin Guohua standing by the stove, warming a bowl of rice dumplings with fermented rice wine in the pot. When he saw her coming, he smiled innocently and said, "I guess you might be hungry."
Gu Mingyue stared at the osmanthus flowers floating in the bowl, and suddenly her nose felt sore.
——It’s over, I’m really in trouble now.
Xiaobai and Song Wan watched the two people's love affair while cracking melon seeds, with auntie smiles on their faces.
Gu Zhongzhang realized it later: "Wait, my sister and your brother? Your cousin and your brother?" Xiaobai nodded calmly: "Well, there is no blood relationship, don't panic! At most, we will have another layer of relatives in the future."
Gu Zhongzhang: “……?”
——Isn’t this generational hierarchy a bit confusing? ?
After getting married, Gu Mingyue’s beauty salon launched the “Longshan Village Medicinal Diet Set Meal”, and the signature dishes are all Lin Guohua’s specialties.
The guest praised it highly: "Boss Gu, this medicinal food is amazing! Where did you hire this chef?"
Gu Mingyue smiled and took Lin Guohua's arm: "This is an exclusive secret recipe that will not be passed on to anyone else."
Lin Guohua looked down at his wife with a red face, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
The former love-sick daughter is now a strong business woman, enjoying success in both family and career.
One day, the "lover" who went to the countryside came to her shamelessly and wanted to ask for cooperation.
Gu Mingyue smiled slightly and said to the security guard, "Throw it out."
——I’m not a recycling station!
