Prelude to Chapter 41



After returning home, Lin Qingyu was still pondering how to produce so many things.

Gu Shi immediately dispelled her doubts, saying, "I'll find a warehouse, and you can just put your things in there."

"That's so simple! I was just worrying about it. This makes things much easier!"

Lin Qingyu finally smiled, and Gu Shi was also slightly less irritated.

He continued, "You just need to get the things out, and leave the rest to me."

Lin Qingyu had a new worry. She said to Gu Shi, "But I don't know the quantity. I can't even count it now. It's too much. He gave too much!"

Gu Shi burst out laughing; he found Lin Qingyu adorable no matter how he looked at her.

"I'll calculate it in a bit, and you can just follow the instructions."

The person in charge asked Gu Shi for a lot.

They all start at several thousand kilograms, which is why they're so generous with the money.

Moreover, his words were full of threats, as if he knew that the other man was capable of obtaining so much stuff.

Gu Shi knew that even if he could accept this deal, his superiors would definitely escalate their demands after this.

Therefore, he had to speed up his pace to avoid any mishaps that might implicate Lin Qingyu.

While there was still time, Gu Shi asked Lin Qingyu to prepare a batch of goods, but not too many.

The two drove the oxcart to the warehouse that Gu Shi had mentioned.

There were people guarding the place. After Gu Shi registered, he took Lin Qingyu inside to unload the goods.

The security here isn't strict; you just need to have someone record it after you've unloaded the goods.

Afterwards, Lin Qingyu unloaded all the supplies from the space, but it was only one-fifth of what the other party required.

This warehouse was specially set up by people in the black market. It's in a rather remote location, and the guards have real weapons.

With the supplies stored here, there's absolutely no worry about them getting lost.

After doing all this, the two returned home. Lin Qingyu thought that she would still need to use the oxcart in the future, so she asked Gu Shi.

"Could we buy this oxcart, or even a donkey cart?"

After thinking about it, Gu Shi decided to ask someone to talk to him and buy the oxcart.

Early the next morning, Gu Shi drove the oxcart to the next village, intending to buy the oxcart and borrow a water pump at the same time.

The people in the neighboring village respected him a lot, and he got the water pump back without any problems.

The oxcart was sold to him without hesitation, and he was only asked to bring the certificate issued by the village when he came back next time.

He dragged his things home, planning to have lunch and then go install the water pump to start watering.

Lin Qingyu glanced at the water pump that Gu Shi had brought back, and an idea already formed in her mind.

It would seem strange if Gu Shi wasn't allowed to irrigate the village's land.

It's better to dig ditches in advance so that even if there's a heavy rain, the rainwater can drain away smoothly and won't accumulate in the fields and ruin the crops.

After lunch, the weather was quite hot, so Gu Shi didn't plan to have Lin Qingyu come with him to do chores.

Unexpectedly, Lin Qingyu put on a straw hat and rode her bicycle to follow him.

"What are you doing following me? It's so hot, go back inside!"

Lin Qingyu refused to agree, and even found her own hoe and threw it onto the oxcart.

"I'll help you. You're my husband, what's wrong with that!"

Ever since Gu Shi insisted that she call him that last time, she wasn't shy at all.

Practice makes perfect!

Gu Shi didn't say anything more, but simply helped her tie the straw hat string and then they set off.

While the two were working by the river, villagers, having received the news, began to arrive one after another.

The first to arrive were, of course, village chief Feng Weiguo, and Feng Chao.

"Xiao Gu! I feel relieved to have you here. You go ahead and finish loading. I've already prepared the diesel fuel."

This is a diesel engine, a very old-fashioned water pump.

"I'll get this done right away, Uncle Feng, you can have someone start pulling the pipes!"

Because the river in the village is a bit far away, and the pipe is very long, it will take some time to install.

Feng Weiguo smiled broadly and said repeatedly, "Okay, okay, I'll have someone get it done right away."

After he left, Feng Chao remained where he was, watching Lin Qingyu and Gu Shi work.

Lin Qingyu acted as if she didn't see him, and spoke to Gu Shi.

"Gu Shi, why don't we dig some ditches? What if we don't have enough pipes later? We'll still have to dig them!"

Gu Shi looked at her with amusement, "How come you're so smart now!"

"Am I usually that stupid? I'm a high school graduate, after all!"

Lin Qingyu continued her education until her senior year of high school, when she had to stop.

It can be considered as her mother fighting for her rights, but since the college entrance examination has not yet been reinstated, most people still believe that studying is useless.

Gu Shi smiled again, continuing his work without stopping.

"I already told Uncle Feng that someone is digging the ditch. We can just connect the pipe to the outermost plot of land."

Lin Qingyu looked incredulous. How could such a thing have happened in her previous life?

However, she immediately composed herself and punched Gu Shi's arm with her hand.

"Why didn't you say so earlier? I even brought a hoe, thinking I could help you!"

Gu Shi turned his head and glanced at her again, still smiling.

Feng Chao, who was standing next to him, watched the interaction between the two and felt that he was superfluous.

He still hadn't given up on Lin Qingyu, proving the saying that what you can't have always stirs your heart.

"Qingyu, would you like some water? It's so hot outside, come over here and get away from the sun!"

There happened to be a locust tree where he was standing, and it was very cool under the tree at that moment.
