Chapter 114 115. Rejection
Gu Wenheng praised the dish highly after eating it, "It tastes just like what I've had before, familiar."
Jin Qianqian turned to look at him, "I don't remember bringing you any food?"
"..." Gu Wenheng knew he was exposed, so he openly admitted, "Li Tianai owed me some favors. She packed her things and sent them to me several times."
Jin Qianqian, "Will Senior Tianai owe you a favor?"
Gu Wenheng touched his nose and said, "She was not going to do an internship at that time, so I asked someone to help her."
Jin Qianqian looked at him suspiciously, and finally figured out why Li Tianai liked to pack up her food after every meal.
"Look and see if you need any more stoves. I remember there is an iron shop at the street entrance ahead. I'll go find someone to make one for me while I'm at home." Seeing that Jin Qianqian was so excited, Gu Wenheng wanted to follow her lead.
Jin Qianqian was well prepared and pulled out a few sketches. "I just looked up some information, but there is no electricity or equipment here, so I can only make more molds. This oven can only be an old-fashioned one..."
Gu Wenheng, who had successfully escaped the disaster, said, "..."

It was dawn, and as soon as Gu Wenheng landed, Jin Qianqian sat up instantly.
"Did I wake you up?" Gu Wenheng lowered his voice, "I can be alone, you can sleep a little longer."
Jin Qianqian looked at him sleepily, "I'll get you some breakfast. Eat it before you go out. What do you want to eat?"
If you want to go to the other side of the county town for breakfast, you have to take a long detour.
Gu Wenheng, "Give some to those who are more full. This morning is very long. My stomach was growling halfway through the class yesterday."
Jin Qianqian felt distressed when she heard this, "It just so happens that I made so many cakes yesterday, so I'll bring some over to you."
Gu Wenheng put on his robes and said, “No need, there is no one to lead other students, so we shouldn’t ask for special treatment.
Besides, I didn’t know I would be able to go to school directly yesterday. I only ate rice porridge. I’m sure I won’t be able to do that today.”
Jin Qianqian followed his lead, but her hands were busy, eating hamburgers, soy milk, sushi, and steaming seafood porridge. "Then you should wash up quickly. If these things are not enough, you can order more."
"That's enough," Gu Wenheng hurriedly stopped him, "Just go to sleep. If you're bored, go to the county town and see if there's anything you want to buy."
Jin Qianqian waved her hand, turned over and went back to sleep.
Gu Wenheng smiled and shook his head, then went out with the plate.
As soon as he walked out of the room, the stubborn donkey stamped its hooves to break free from the rope and came to him. Gu Wenheng held a plate in his hand and said, "This is the breakfast my wife specially gave me. Wait a moment."
“Oooooh—ooooh—ooh—”
"Stop yelling," Gu Wenheng quickly took the plate into the kitchen and ran out to add fodder to the trough. "If you dare to disturb others, I will sell you out immediately. Especially in a mill like that, you will grind the mill day and night."
"Oh--ah--" the little donkey let out a breath, then lowered its head and started eating the grass.
"That's right," Gu Wenheng clapped his hands, turned around and ran to the bathroom to wash up.

Gu Wenheng looked at the little boy standing in front of the gate inexplicably, "Who are you looking for? Did you go to the wrong place?"
Who knew that the other party would kneel down on the ground and said, "Master, I can drive a cart and do odd jobs. Can you take me in as a long-term worker?"
"..." Gu Wenheng was confused. What was going on so early in the morning?
"Uncle, I'm just asking for a living. As long as it's enough to support me and my uncle, I don't need any wages."
Gu Wenheng, "There are so many families on this street, go ask others. We don't need it for the time being."
The boy in front of him was only a few years old. In his mind, he was a child laborer. Even if he wanted to find someone to do a job, he would not look for such a young boy.
"No, no, no, I know what you need. I'm a very good driver, especially a donkey cart."
Gu Wenheng, "Are you staring at us?"
"No," the other party waved his hands repeatedly, "I just saw you guys practicing driving the cart on the side of the road yesterday, so I came over to ask."
Gu Wenheng looked up at the sky and said, "Even if that's the case, I don't intend to invite someone I don't know the background of. You should go ask somewhere else."
Thinking of this guy outside the door, Gu Wenheng turned back and called Jin Qianqian, "You'd better bolt the door."
When the two of them went in and out together before, they didn't really remember to lock the door. This is not the automatic room lock that we used to have.
Jin Qianqian also came back to her senses, "Look at my memory, I almost forgot about this."
Jin Qianqian also saw the little boy standing outside the door at this time, "Who is this?"
"I came here to recommend myself. I want to be a long-term worker here." Gu Wenheng didn't have time to delay here any longer, so he could only explain hurriedly, "I have already rejected it. Close the door and go in to rest."
When he heard the sound of the door being bolted, Gu Wenheng immediately passed by the other person and hurried to the academy.
Xiao Dongzi just looked back at his disappearing figure, and squatted in the corner silently.
Jin Qianqian turned around and went back to her room but couldn't fall asleep, so she simply got up, prepared a simple breakfast for herself, and then picked up her vegetable basket and wanted to go shopping at the nearby market.
"Why are you still here?" Jin Qianqian was a little surprised to see the little boy still standing at the door.
"Madam, I really can do anything, so please accept me."
Jin Qianqian, "We are just ordinary people. We don't need to find anyone to help us."
Her idea was the same as Gu Wenheng's. This boy was just a child, and it was really stressful to use it.
"..." Xiao Dongzi lowered his head and pulled at the corner of his clothes hard.
"Ah," Jin Qianqian sighed, "Wait for me here."
After saying that, he turned back and in a moment, he returned with a small bag of grains in his hand. "We can't help you with anything, take this back!"
Xiao Dongzi shook his head, "I didn't come here to beg."
Jin Qianqian half-knelt down and looked at him at eye level, "I'm not giving this to you as alms, I'm lending it to you. When you have extra food in the future, you can return it to me then."
"You really can't leave me here?"
Jin Qianqian shook her head and placed the rice bag in front of him, "We really don't need it right now."
Looking at Jin Qianqian leaving with the vegetable basket, Xiao Dongzi was silent for a long time, then he slowly left with the rice bag.
"What? It didn't work?" The bearded man leaned against the haystack, looked up at him, and continued to close his eyes to rest.
"Uncle, is there really no hope for us in this life?"
"Tsk, do you really think that just because you've listened to a few plays, it's that easy to find the noble person in the play?"
Xiao Dongzi, "But they are good people."
"Good man? How many people have you met? How dare you make such a judgment?" The bearded man said weakly, "Don't be stubborn. If we don't do something, the two of us may really starve to death here.
Also, I feel that the wounds on my hands are getting worse and worse, and I don’t know how long I can hold out. If you don’t grow up, I won’t be able to care about you anymore.”
