Chapter 218 Accurate Calculation
Niuniu finished her homework honestly the next day.
But she made a wish in the afternoon: "I hope I can eat Xueyunsu soon."
Almost as soon as she finished speaking, guests came to the Gu family.
Shopkeeper Luo came to Beijing, bringing with him a lot of gifts, including the Xueyunsu that Niu Niu loved to eat.
Zhang Yunniang took out a few pieces of pastries from a bag and handed them to Niu Niu.
But as soon as Niu Niu finished eating the Xueyunsu, she felt dizzy in front of her eyes. She forced herself to go back to her bed and lie down. She slept for half an hour before she regained her consciousness.
The little girl pulled up her sleeves, looked at the little fish birthmark on her arm, and immediately covered her heart: "It's okay, it's just getting a little lighter."
But even so, when Zhang Yunniang helped Niu Niu take a bath at night, she still stared at the birthmark for a long time.
The little girl sat in the bathtub, lowered her head and played with the water, afraid that her mother would notice something strange.
Niuniu's wish this time was small, and the change in her birthmark was also small. Seeing that her daughter didn't seem to be unusual, Zhang Yunniang didn't ask her. She just said, "Baiyun Academy has strict requirements. If you don't rely on your real ability, you may be sent out after three months if you pass the exam. My dear, it's better to let your big brother know my true strength, okay?"
Zhang Yunniang said this because she was afraid that Niuniu would do something stupid again. Considering the deep brother-sister relationship, she foolishly made a wish that Gu Yan would be admitted to Baiyun Academy.
Niuniu nodded vigorously and said, "Mom, I understand everything. My eldest brother is the most capable. If it weren't for his real ability, he wouldn't be at ease studying there."
Zhang Yuniang smiled and nodded.
The next morning, except for Gu Mingda and Gu Yan who stayed at home to study, everyone else in the Gu family went to look at the site for the marinade workshop.
"It's a single-family courtyard with a well in the backyard. Apart from the remote location, there's nothing wrong with it." The broker in charge of buying and selling houses said to Shopkeeper Luo.
After Manager Luo had sorted out the matters in Guang'an County, he hurried to Beijing. This time, the workshop house was bought by the Gu family, and he just asked a broker he was familiar with to help find the house.
Shopkeeper Luo pointed at the Gu family and said, "Wang Yaren, I can't make the decision on this matter."
Even though he reminded them like this, Wang Yaren still focused his main attention on Manager Luo and was somewhat indifferent to the Gu family.
After a while, Shopkeeper Luo's brows were furrowed so much that they looked like they could almost pinch a fly to death.
Niuniu reached out and tugged at Zhang Yunniang's sleeve, whispering, "Mom, I don't like it here. It's so cold here."
Originally, the Gu family thought this place was good, but at this moment they immediately became alert.
Liu Xiaoru said directly to the man: "Let's try another place."
The broker was unhappy, and he seemed to be complaining to Shopkeeper Luo: "Mr. Luo, this is the most suitable place I have found according to your requirements. The price is also cheap. It will be difficult to find such a good place elsewhere."
Shopkeeper Luo respected Liu Xiaoru very much and said, "Since Shopkeeper Liu feels it is not suitable, then change to another place. Don't worry, I will give you the money you deserve."
When the broker heard this, he still looked unhappy, but in the end he took everyone to another house reluctantly.
But this time the location is more remote, the house is dilapidated, and the price is not cheap. If you want to use it, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort to renovate it.
Wang Yaren was still chattering, "Third Master, I told you that the house in front is the most suitable. Why didn't you listen? The more you look, the worse it gets. You shouldn't listen to women."
Liu Xiaoru had heard him say this kind of thing many times along the way, and her face was already very unhappy, but considering Manager Luo's face, she finally endured it.
She endured it, but some people didn't.
"Don't you listen to your mother?" Niu Niu asked the broker.
Seeing that it was a little girl, the broker casually said, "I have always been filial, so I naturally listen to her."
Niuniu raised her little face and looked at the man in surprise: "You listen to women yourself, why do you want to persuade Uncle Luo not to listen to women?"
A flash of shame and anger flashed across the brothel's face, and then he said, "You little kid, you are really sharp-tongued."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone else's faces changed.
Shopkeeper Luo, who had originally wanted to mediate, immediately frowned and said, "Wang Yaren, the child is telling the truth, why are you making such a fuss?"
Shopkeeper Luo almost pointed at Wang Ya's nose and said that the people of Wang Ya couldn't afford to play with him.
Wang Yaren was also unhappy. He had been praising Manager Luo for the whole day but got nothing in return. He also didn't even sell the haunted house in his hands to these people. He just felt very unlucky.
"Mr. Luo San, since your guest is difficult to serve, I will simply not serve him. Goodbye." After saying this, Wang Yaren just flicked his sleeves and ran away, not caring about the people behind him at all.
Wang Yanren was thinking that this place was remote and had many messy alleys, and that this group of people might get lost.
But his mind was in a mess and he didn't pay any attention to the road under his feet. He tripped over a protruding rock and hit his head on the ground. His face hit the ground first, breaking the skin and blood gushing out.
The Gu family got lost after leaving the alley where the dilapidated house was located.
"It would be great if your father could come with us. He has the best memory." Zhang Yuniang sighed softly.
Because the guide was a familiar one, no one expected that he would quit at the last minute, so no one bothered to remember the way.
Shopkeeper Luo pointed in a random direction: "It seems to be this way. Let's see if we can meet anyone later."
Everyone followed him and walked for a long time, but they were unable to leave the maze-like alley.
Because it was mid-morning, the men in the alley seemed to have gone out to work. The women, who were with their children, did not dare to open the door when they heard strangers knocking. It was really impossible for everyone to get out for a while.
"I can't do it. I can't lead this team. How about changing someone?" Shopkeeper Luo was a little unconfident at this time.
Old Lady Gu pointed at Niuniu and said, "Let Guaibao lead the way. Children are the smartest. Maybe we can get out by accident."
The old lady didn't let Niu Niu make a wish, but just let the child point in a random direction.
Niu Niu really found the way based on her own feelings.
But Niu Niu, who always had good luck, led everyone around in the alley for nearly an incense stick of time but still couldn't get out.
Everyone was tired and hungry, and their footsteps were sometimes light and sometimes heavy.
Niu Niu also covered her belly and was carried forward by Manager Luo.
Perhaps because they were too hungry, a group of people actually had hallucinations: "It smells so good."
Everyone followed the scent and walked forward, and suddenly they saw a small table at the end of the alley, with a small cart with a stove next to it.
Steam was coming out of the cart, and an old man with a white beard was cooking noodles.
A middle-aged man with a mustache sat at the table waiting anxiously.
Shopkeeper Luo held Niuniu in his arms and rushed over with his last bit of strength: "Noodles, hurry up and cook the noodles. Let's have a bowl each first."
When the mustache man heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Old Liu, you said I delayed your business, but look, isn't the business coming now?"
Old Liu, who was cooking noodles, smiled awkwardly when he heard this and said, "Mr. Cheng is very wise. It was me who said the wrong thing. You must forgive me."
The man with the mustache known as Mr. Cheng said proudly, "I told you a long time ago that I am proficient in Xiao Liu Ren and I have predicted that you will get rich today. Do you dare to say that I didn't predict it correctly?"
