"I'm fine now, I'm just really sad inside, I don't mean to blame you."
Gu Shi couldn't bear to see her cry, but he was clumsy and didn't know how to comfort people, so he could only worry helplessly in this situation.
He held Lin Qingyu tightly, not daring to let go, and could only apologize to her.
"It was my fault, I shouldn't have said it, it was my problem!"
Seeing that Gu Shi was like this and wouldn't listen to reason, Lin Qingyu could only kiss him.
Just when Gu Shi finally recovered, she couldn't breathe again.
Fortunately, Gu Shi wasn't in such a hurry anymore, so she could finally communicate with him properly.
"I know what you mean. It's because you're so wonderful that I'm happy."
"Besides, I'm crying tears of joy. I'm not as fragile as you think!"
Gu Shi remained silent, simply staring at Lin Qingyu.
After a pause, Lin Qingyu continued, explaining that she planned to tell Gu Shi about her spatial ability.
"Actually, I..."
"If you don't want to tell me, you don't have to."
Gu Shi raised his hand and covered Lin Qingyu's mouth, showing great respect for her decision.
Lin Qingyu smiled, brushed Gu Shi's large hand away, and continued speaking.
"You may not believe what I'm about to say, but it's all true."
After that, Lin Qingyu recounted in detail how she discovered the space, except for the matter of her rebirth.
During her speech, Gu Shi did not show any displeasure, nor did he press her for answers.
After Lin Qingyu finished speaking, Gu Shi simply said calmly.
"Let me pour you a bowl of water. You must be thirsty after talking so much!"
She looked at Gu Shi with some surprise, "Aren't you curious? How did I get this? You trust me that much?"
Gu Shi continued working, replying to her, "I believe you."
Lin Qingyu felt as if she had prepared a big punch, but it just hit a cotton ball.
Gu Shi's nonchalant answer, however, displeased her.
"Don't pour the water yet, let me try to pull you in."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Qingyu pulled Gu Shi into the supermarket space.
Because Lin Qingyu was holding Gu Shi's hand, she could clearly feel that Gu Shi was stiff all over when they first entered the room.
She patted Gu Shi on the shoulder and whispered comfortingly, "Don't worry, this is the space I told you about."
Then he led Gu Shi around inside.
Lin Qingyu let Gu Shi experience what it's like to eat snacks, but to her surprise, he didn't like them.
Later, when passing by the condiment section, Gu Shi actually picked up a bottle of vinegar and started looking at it.
He asked Lin Qingyu, "Does this vinegar taste good when used to dip dumplings?"
Lin Qingyu glanced at it and remembered that Gu Shi loved sour food.
The last time they made dumplings, Gu Shi ate a bowl of vinegar all by himself.
She then opened the bottle of vinegar and let him taste it himself.
Gu Shi was very satisfied; at least it tasted better than what the brigade's supply and marketing cooperative sold.
He casually grabbed the bottle, and Lin Qingyu also grabbed a few salad dressings, intending to let him try different flavors.
When she arrived at the rice, flour, and oil section, Lin Qingyu looked at the pile of rice and flour with satisfaction.
Sure enough, after she took it, the things inside returned to their original state.
Gu Shi was stunned. Although he had seen the rice and flour on the black market before.
But I've never seen so many high-quality items put together before.
No wonder Lin Qingyu was able to bring so many things to sell; this space is truly a wonderful thing.
Lin Qingyu remembered that there was another rule in the space: cooked food would not spoil, just like the shelf life of these things was fixed at one day.
They are always within their shelf life, so you can pick up and eat the ready-made food in the supermarket directly.
She cut a piece of braised beef for Gu Shi, who thought it was good and even wanted to take it out to eat.
Lin Qingyu then said, "We must be very careful if we take the things in here out."
With just one sentence, Gu Shi understood that although there was such a good thing, it could not be shared.
When the two of them finally left, they didn't take much with them.
However, after telling Gu Shi this secret, Lin Qingyu felt much more at ease. She would no longer have to secretly take things from inside without Gu Shi's knowledge.
The family started stewing meat again, and this time Lin Qingyu was doing it openly, adding a lot of meat to it.
Before it was time to pick up Zhao Xiaobao, village chief Feng Weiguo suddenly arrived.
"Gu Shi, is there meat stew at home?"
Lin Qingyu added spices and other ingredients, making the stewed meat very fragrant. Feng Weiguo could smell the aroma as soon as he approached Gu Shi's house.
Gu Shi was fiddling with a fan in the courtyard. He was preparing to make a large fan for Lin Qingyu because it was too hot and it hadn't rained for a long time.
He stood up and said calmly to Feng Weiguo, "Yes, what is it, Village Chief?"
Feng Weiguo then said frankly, "I came to you to discuss the water pump."
"As you know, it hasn't rained for more than two months. Last time, everyone carried water for a long time, but it didn't help much."
"I was thinking, why don't you go to the next village and borrow a water pump?"
Instead of borrowing it himself, Feng Weiguo came to Gu Shi.
It's because if he went, he probably wouldn't be able to borrow it, but if Gu Shi went, he would almost certainly succeed.
Gu Shi didn't have a good reputation in Lihua Village, but in the neighboring brigades, many people respected him.
Just the fact that he managed to go up the mountain and hunt that wild boar on his own was enough to earn the admiration of many young men in the brigade.
The neighboring brigades are not as poor as Lihua Village, which is also related to their different views on these matters.
In Xinghua Village next door, anyone who can work is considered capable.
Unlike in Pear Blossom Village, no matter how capable you are, if there's anything wrong with your family, it's all for naught.
Just like Gu Shi, he generally doesn't interact much with the villagers; he just focuses on doing his own thing.
This is why people from other villages look down on the people of Lihua Village. It's not that their village is poor, but that their thinking is wrong.
Gu Shi looked at Feng Weiguo, but instead of agreeing immediately, he first told him about his own situation.
"Village chief, I have some things at home that I need your help with."
Although Feng Weiguo was unhappy to hear this, he still let Gu Shi speak.
"I'm planning to renovate my house. You know how old this house is."
Feng Weiguo thought it was something serious, but he waved his hand and said bluntly, "You fix it, it's nothing."
Gu Shi's house is one of the older houses in the village; it was built by Gu Shi's grandfather years ago.
It's just that he died young, before he could enjoy a good life.
Feng Weiguo was still a child when this house was built!
Gu Shicai agreed to borrow the water pump. Feng Weiguo, smoking his pipe, left after finishing his business.
He politely tried to persuade him to stay, but Feng Weiguo waved and left.
These days, few people invite guests to their homes for meals, and as the village head, Feng Weiguo certainly wouldn't eat at someone else's house.
To put it bluntly, even if he starves to death, he shouldn't eat someone else's food.
