Chapter 201 This is plucking feathers from a stingy person
Gu Xiaoxi had been waiting at the door. When she heard the call, she went in with the medicine box.
After she went in, she left Grandma Carrot behind and drove everyone else out of the room. She closed the door and sat there laughing secretly with the old patriarch.
Granny Carrot didn't know it was fake and was very scared. Now that she knew Xiaoxi did it on purpose, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Several people sat in the room. About a quarter of an hour later, Gu Xiaoxi opened the door with a worried look on his face.
"How is the old patriarch?" Gu Dayue asked anxiously.
It’s not that he was too worried about the old patriarch’s health, but he was afraid that because of his arrival, the old patriarch would be gone, and he would definitely be stabbed in the back.
"The old patriarch is weak and can't talk for too long. Uncle Dayue, if you have something to ask in the future, please try to be brief." Gu Xiaoxi replied to Gu Dayue.
"Hey, hey, hey, thanks to my niece being here! Can I go in and take a look?" Gu Dayue said as he wiped the cold sweat from his face with his sleeve.
"It can't be too long." Gu Xiaoxi only said four words.
Gu Dayue nodded and went in with his little follower.
When he entered, he saw Grandma Radish crying, and he pretended to shed a few tears, which really looked like the real thing.
Gu Xiaoxi stared at the door, watching this scene, and couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth into a sarcastic smile.
What a dramatic actor!
Never mind, this kind of person is probably just like that. Just don’t bother the old patriarch anymore in the future.
After a performance, Gu Dayue left with his followers.
After seeing the two leave, Gu Yunju spat at their departing figures and cursed, "What the hell, coming to see a patient empty-handed? How shameless!"
Gu Dayue and the other man did not go far, and they heard Gu Yunju's words carefully.
Gu Dayue quickened his pace with a gloomy face. He was a stingy person to begin with, but he thought that he had to do something to save his reputation, so as to avoid it getting out and being embarrassing.
So he went back and asked his servant to carry ten kilograms of brown rice.
When Grandpa Laoliu saw this, he almost couldn't help laughing on the spot.
This is plucking feathers from a stingy person. It seems that such people still have some shame.
After waiting for the little follower to put down the brown rice and leave, Gu Yunju couldn't help but say, "Looks like I'll have to scold him more in the future. This kind of person will learn how to behave."
Gu An glanced at Gu Yunju and said, "You're overthinking it. He just took over the position of clan leader and is afraid of what people outside will say. Those who don't obey him will become even more dissatisfied with him.
After a while, when he has grown stronger, he will probably have to hold his head high when he sees you all.”
"Gu An is right, he is a heartless person." Grandpa Laoliu added.
After listening to the older generation's words, Gu Xiaoxi finally understood who Gu Dayue was.
Not long after Gu Dayue's little follower left, some villagers came one after another.
These villagers came to see the old patriarch sincerely. They had all received kindness from the old patriarch before and remembered this kindness.
Gu Xiaoxi memorized all these faces. These people knew how to repay kindness, and she would definitely consider them first when good things happened in the future.
In order to avoid making a mistake, she asked Afeng to go in and find out the person's name and write it down in a notebook later.
However, many of these people have helped their family before, and she will pick these people out. If there is a shortage of manpower, she will consider picking these people out.
After waiting for everyone to leave, Gu An walked over to Xiaoxi curiously and asked, "What are you writing down?"
"Write down these people who know how to be grateful, and look for them first when you have good things in the future." Gu Xiaoxi giggled and looked at the notebook with her uncle.
Gu An looked carefully, wrote down two more names, and then said, "These two families have helped you a lot before. I guess they are not in the village these days, otherwise they would have come to visit."
"Okay, I'll make note of this." Gu Xiaoxi nodded.
…
Time flies and another half a month has passed. The weather is getting colder and colder, and more and more people are starving. Even when you go out in a carriage during the day, you can see people lying on the roadside.
There were also people hurrying along the road. They walked very fast and tried to stay as far away from those lying down as possible.
The world is in chaos and human lives are worthless!
Two nights ago, a nearby village was completely robbed by bandits, who also took away several children.
Everyone is in a panic now, so try not to go out if possible.
Gu Xiaoxi now goes to deliver goods every other day, and every time she brings Ying San or Ying Si, plus Xia Yu, with her.
Xia Yu's leg skills are better than Qiu Shuang's, and Qiu Shuang is more careful, so she is more suitable to take care of the patient at home.
When we entered the city today, we found that there were many more soldiers guarding the city gate. Gu Xiaoxi and his friends passed the inspection and entered the city.
When they arrived in the city, Gu Xiaoxi whispered to Ying San, "Are these all soldiers from the border town?"
"Miss, I don't know about this, but I can go and ask around." Ying San replied.
"Okay, then you be careful. If anything happens, we can prepare in advance." Gu Xiaoxi instructed Ying San.
Ying San understood and got off the carriage and disappeared into the crowd.
Gu Xiaoxi and his friends drove a horse-drawn carriage to Mrs. Tan's shop.
Even though the streets seemed a little deserted, it didn't seem to affect the Tan family's business.
Many people come here to have breakfast at this time. Although the shop is small, the space at the door is not small, and there are tables and stools outside.
The shop next door is Xuehai Bookstore, owned by Chen Qinian. Chen Qinian had already gone there to say hello, and the two families have a good relationship.
Manager Zhang also eats breakfast here every day, and Mrs. Tan is very kind and takes care of his breakfast and lunch.
Seeing that the couple were good at business, Manager Zhang asked them to move the tables and chairs over in the morning, and then take the chairs back after noon, so as not to affect their business.
Moreover, since the Tan couple started doing business here, their shop business has been much better than before.
Shopkeeper Zhang saw Gu Xiaoxi coming over and greeted her with a smile on his face: "Miss Xiaoxi, you are here. Your dried tofu is so delicious. I have to stock up on some today."
"If Manager Zhang likes to eat it, then stock up some. It can be stored in the winter anyway. If you feel too cold, just heat it up at home." After saying this, Gu Xiaoxi entered the store.
After a while, she packed a bag and brought it to Shopkeeper Zhang.
"No, no, this is too much." Shopkeeper Zhang knew the relationship between Gu Xiaoxi and the boss, and he was embarrassed to accept it.
"What's the problem? We are neighbors now. It would be nice to share delicious food together." Gu Xiaoxi said with a smile and went back to the store to help.
Mrs. Tan also nodded with a smile on her face. She waited for Gu Xiaoxi to return to the store. She pulled him aside and whispered, "Xiaoxi, the owner of Maoji Dried Tofu came here a few days ago and tried all the flavors. He said they were delicious. I don't know what he means."
