Chapter 115 116. Distinguished Guest?
"Madam Gu, what a coincidence, you are out buying vegetables too." Aunt Xiao stood in front of Jin Qianqian with a basket on her shoulder.
Jin Qianqian saw a piece of meat in her basket and said, "Come out and take a look around. Have you bought anything, Auntie?"
Aunt Xiao glanced at the meat in the basket with pride and said, "My daughter is coming back to her parents' home today, so I have to buy some food to entertain her.
My daughter is very filial. She always brings a lot of things with her when she comes home. I can’t let her suffer any loss. I have to at least prepare some delicious food for her.”
Jin Qianqian finally understood the old lady's purpose in calling her, "You are so lucky to have such filial children. By the way, this meat looks quite fresh. Did you buy it from the butcher shop in front?"
"I only buy it when I see it's fresh. It's in the shop in front. But don't go to the second one. Mr. Zhao has stopped working there a long time ago, and the meat he sells isn't fresh."
Seeing Jin Qianqian's puzzled look, Aunt Xiao simply stood at the intersection and pointed at the shops on this street.
She can point out which clothing store has affordable prices, which jewelry store is discerning, and even the street vendors.
Jin Qianqian sorted it out carefully and found that some shops on this street were not doing well and were about to be sold.
She expressed her sincere gratitude, "Auntie, it's all thanks to you. Otherwise, I don't know how long it would take me to figure out all the tricks here."
"Hey, we are neighbors, and you have a sweet mouth. Auntie wants to hear more good things from you."
Jin Qianqian smiled with her mouth wide open, "It's not that I'm being sweet, it's that you're really that kind, Auntie. By the way, didn't you say your sister is coming back? Then do you want to go home first? Don't let your sister find time."
"That's true. Then you go back first. I'll talk to you in detail when I have time." Aunt Xiao carried the basket, waved her hand and walked away quickly, without even giving Jin Qianqian a chance to speak.
“…”

On the day of rest, Gu Wenheng drove the donkey cart shakily towards the village.
"This saves effort. I don't have to walk until my feet get blisters anymore." Sitting on the soft cushion, swaying from side to side, you can also observe the scenery along the way.
Gu Wenheng, "Is your shop busy enough to come over? How about finding someone to help?"
Jin Qianqian, "It's still early. Foreman Ding is helping to reorganize the store these two days. Besides, I'm just making some cakes, so I shouldn't be too tired."
After Aunt Xiao’s advice, she quickly found the store she liked. Although it cost her most of her fortune to buy it, she was really satisfied with the store’s location.
Located in the center of the county town, the store covers an area of about 40 square meters, plus a small courtyard with a well at the back that can be used as an operation room, making it perfect for making desserts.
These two days I have been busy instructing the craftsmen to build the stove and oven, and the rest is left to the master.
"Then you have to do it within your ability. Don't forget that you are still recovering from the injuries. If you break your bones, it will be more trouble than gain."
Jin Qianqian pinched her arm, "Don't you think I've gained weight during this period of time?"
Gu Wenheng turned around and looked at her. "It's still a bit hard to hold her, so keep trying."
Jin Qianqian, "Really?"
How could Gu Wenheng not notice the subtle expression on her face? "Warm fragrance in my arms, if the touch was a little better..."
Jin Qianqian looked down along the line of his gaze and suddenly crossed her arms over her chest, "That's too much."
Gu Wenheng looked away, holding the reins in his hands, slowly slowing down his speed, but with a sly smile on his face, "Wife, these are all my benefits, I have to supervise them, right?"
Jin Qianqian, "."

When they were almost at the village, Gu Wenheng and Jin Qianqian put all the things they had packed earlier on the donkey cart, including the old furniture they were going to give to the old lady.
"Hey, isn't this Gu Lao Qi? He has been missing for such a long time, where did he go to make a fortune?" Liang Xiaojun was sitting at the entrance of the village with his legs crossed, holding a piece of weed in his mouth.
"Liang Xiaojun, you seem to be free and sitting at the entrance of the village to bask in the sun?" Gu Wenheng glanced at him and asked back.
“I asked someone to bring some things to the city for me, and they should be back soon.
You are a good kid, you have caught this car. Where are you going to make a fortune? Don't forget to help your brother."
Gu Wenheng, "I am just an ordinary farmer, where can I make a fortune?
Since you have something to do here, we won't keep you any longer. I have to go back to see my parents."
Liang Xiaojun suddenly laughed with gloating, "See your parents? Then you should go and take a good look. Your family really has distinguished guests. I guess your parents can enjoy the good life with you in the future."
Although Gu Wenheng was confused, he didn't want to argue with him here, so he drove directly into the village. The house was at the entrance of the village and they arrived in less than a moment.
Jin Qianqian jumped down and pushed open the yard, and Gu Wenheng led the donkey and the cart in.
"What did that boy mean just now?" Jin Qianqian couldn't help but asked directly.
Gu Wenheng said, "This family is just an ordinary peasant family. There is no such thing as a distinguished guest. But that kid wouldn't lie and there is no need for him to lie. Let's go over and take a look later."
Jin Qianqian packed up two boxes of pastries she had made and said, "Let's go! You haven't been home for so many days, it's time to go over and take a look."
"..." Gu Wenheng, "Why do I have a bad feeling?"
Jin Qianqian shrugged, "It will be clear in a moment. If there is really something wrong, we should just stay away from it."

As soon as they entered the village, they immediately felt everyone's eyes were watching them waiting for a show.
They looked at each other inexplicably and quickened their pace at the same time.
"Mom, are you home?" Gu Wenheng looked at the closed gate and could only shout inside.
"I'm here." Li Cuicui heard the familiar voice and opened the gate in less than a moment.
"Mom, why is the gate closed in broad daylight?" You should know that in rural areas, people usually don't close the gate when they are at home, otherwise others will suspect that you don't welcome others to visit.
"Come in first and talk!" Li Cuicui moved aside and waited for them to come in, then closed the door tightly.
Jin Qianqian raised the basket in her hand and said, "Mom, we brought you some cakes from the county town. Try them. If they are delicious, we will bring you more next time."
"Hey, I wonder what precious things Sister-in-law Qi brought to my parents? Why did she disappear for so many days? Don't you know that my parents miss her so much?"
Hearing this familiar voice, Gu Wenheng and Jin Qianqian both showed displeasure on their faces, and then a familiar figure came out from the house next door.
"Youngest? When did you come back?" Gu Wenheng frowned, "Where have you been these days? Don't you know that your family is worried?"
"Tsk, tsk, you guys are all acting like brothers. If you were really worried, why didn't you wait for me to move in?"
I'm laying my cards on the table. I just want your recommendation tickets and monthly tickets.
