Chapter 209 Breaking Corn



Gu Huangan and Shen Shuyan heard Su Yichen's cry of pain and hurried over.

I saw Su Yichen covering his hand, squatting on the ground, with a look of pain on his face.

Shen Shuyan pulled his hand over and saw a pink bump on the back of his originally white hand.

"It's okay, I was just bitten by a caterpillar. It will be fine after a while." Shen Shuyan was speechless. He wanted to laugh at his friend, but then he thought that he was a rich man's son, so it was normal that he had never seen these things.

But Shen Shuyan's words did not comfort him. "But I still feel a lot of pain. I must have been poisoned. Why don't we go back and ask Doctor Lin to take a look?" He rolled his eyes.

Gu Huangan, who was standing behind him, rolled his eyes almost to the sky.

I really don't understand why the Master asked these people to come. What a waste of time.

He took a step forward and took Su Yichen's hand.

"Hah..."

Before anyone could react, Gu Huangan spat on the spot where Su Yichen was bitten by the caterpillar.

Su Yichen looked at Gu Huangan, then at the saliva on his hand. Then. "Ah!!!!"

How could he...how could he spit? His saliva is so dirty. This...

Gu Huangan was too lazy to speak, and rubbed Su Yichen's saliva-covered hand back and forth on his head.

At this moment, Su Yichen felt that he was no longer clean. He had been tainted by the smell of someone else.

"alright."

Gu Huangan dropped these two words and continued walking forward.

What a waste of time. He could have bought half a bag of corn in the time he was arguing with them.

Su Yichen looked at the back of his hand. Then he stared blankly at Shen Shuyan. "It doesn't hurt anymore."

I didn’t expect that Gu Huangan’s saliva could be used like this?

Could it be that this kid is a natural-born miracle doctor?

Shen Shuyan also recovered from his shock. He remembered that when he was still at home, his parents would spit a little saliva on the wound after being bitten by ants or caterpillars while working in the fields.

He didn't know the principle, but he saw his parents do it.

"Okay, don't go either. Just wait for us here while you peel corn cobs."

Having said that, Shen Shuyan no longer cared about Su Yichen. He picked up the backpack and walked forward.

Su Yichen was left there. He wanted to go find them but was afraid of being bitten again, so he could only go back to the place prepared for him by Shen Shuyan, pick up the corn cob and start peeling it.

One piece, two pieces, three or four pieces.

When Shen Shuyan came back with a basket of corn, he saw Su Yichen holding a corn cob and peeling the corn slices one by one with his index finger raised.

He curled his lips, feeling very upset and wanting to hit someone.

How can you work like this? Even embroidery can't be this delicate, right?

"I'll teach you."

Shen Shuyan casually picked up a corn cob and found the front end. With two hands exerting force in different directions, the leaves wrapped around the cob were torn in half. He then wiped away the silk at the front end and gathered the leaves at the back end. He held the cob with one hand and pinched the leaves with the other. With a single push, he twisted all the leaves off.

"Have you learned it?"

Su Yichen looked at the smooth and flowing movements and nodded blankly. "I got it."

He imitated Shen Shuyan's movements.

"ah!"

That handsome face flushed red, and then he reluctantly broke off the corn leaves.

.......

Shen Shuyan was speechless and could only say dryly: "Come on!"

The situation of the other students was not much better than Su Yichen's, and was even worse.

After all, there is Shen Shuyan here who is a farmer's son. Although he doesn't do farm work often, he still knows how to do it.

Others were not so lucky. Not only did they fail to help anyone that morning, they also had to trouble the host to spare someone to teach them.

Gu Jiayue looked at Jiang Luli, who was wearing a black suit, holding a sickle in his hand and carrying a backpack on his back, and fell into deep suspicion.

"Jiang Shanchang? What are you doing?"

Gu Jiayue's hesitant look made Jiang Luli laugh.

He shook the backpack behind him. "As a teacher, I also need to know how the grain is harvested. Master Gu, are you not welcome?"

Gu Jiayue glanced at him and really wanted to say she was not welcome.

This man was a prince, a first-class noble. If something happened while she was helping him, she couldn't take the responsibility.

But she opened her mouth, but couldn't say no.

He's an adult and knows what he's doing. And the reasons given are perfectly valid.

"Okay, then you have to follow me and don't run around."

"Okay, I'll do as you say." Jiang Luli smiled brightly, not realizing that Gu Jiayue's tone of voice sounded as if she was instructing Gu Yuhe.

He just felt that Gu Jiayue was concerned about him.

Entering the cornfield, Gu Jiayue pinched the corn cob with one hand, and then with a force, the corn cob broke off from the corn stalk. "See clearly? Break it like this. If you encounter any that you can't break off, use a sickle to chop it."

Jiang Luli watched Gu Jiayue break off two more pieces, then nodded. "I understand."

Then he tried it, and the corn in his hand suddenly became like eggs. Gu Jiayue felt that he didn't use any force at all, and it fell off by itself at the touch.

Well, it’s not difficult, you can learn it in no time.

Gu Jiayue couldn't help but give a thumbs up. "Great!"

Jiang Luli laughed and said, "Have you forgotten that I know martial arts? Breaking corn is just like practicing martial arts. You need to use clever strength."

Gu Jiayue nodded. "I'm glad to hear your advice." Then she rolled her eyes. "Then let's have a competition to see who can break it faster!"

It is true that Jiang Luli knows martial arts, but she is not bad either. After all, he has been doing it since he was a child in his previous life.

"Okay, but don't cry if you lose."

Gu Jiayue rolled her eyes. "I'm not a child."

Without waiting for the call to start, he turned around and started working with both hands, twisting off two corn cobs in one go.

Jiang Luli raised his eyebrows. This girl is still playing tricks.

He would not let Gu Jiayue go, but chose another direction and started working on it.

One was skilled, the other strong and sturdy. Soon they had broken two mountains of corn.

The three siblings of the Gu family who were in charge of peeling the shells felt like the world was about to fall.

Gu Yuhe had a sad face and was peeling the shells while shouting, "I can't finish peeling them. I can't finish peeling them! Wuuuuuu..."

Seeing Gu Jiayue coming over, Gu Yuhe's eyes showed hope: "Sister, are you tired? Come and have a rest."

Gu Jiayue, who was about to take a break, looked at the mountain of corn next to her, which was much larger than hers, and suddenly she didn't want to rest anymore. "No, I can still break two more!"

Even so, Gu Jiayue complained in her heart. What did Jiang Luli eat to grow up? He looked like a weak scholar, yet he had such great strength.

How long does it take for someone who has never done farm work to pick so much corn?

If Gu Jiayue knew that Jiang Luli gave her this result, she would be even more sad.

After a while, the sun had risen to the highest point in the sky, and it was estimated to be around noon.

Grandma Gu asked everyone to stop and gather around to eat.

Today's meal was prepared by Hua Chao and Aunt Cai.

Since the school was established, Hua Chao has been busy with classes every day, and Aunt Cai has been busy managing the cafeteria and doing finances. They haven't had time to spend with the Gu family for a long time.

Now that the school is on vacation during the busy farming season, the two of them naturally have to come and help.

Gu Yuhe ate the 20% off meal in big mouthfuls. He said incoherently, "Wow, Grandma Cai's cooking is still the best."

This made Aunt Cai laugh out loud. "Okay, Aunt Cai will make it for you often from now on, okay?"

These children of the Gu family are as cute as the young lady.

Oh, I wish his family’s Kangzi’s children in the future could be like this.

Whenever she thought of this, Aunt Cai became worried.

When Grandma Gu saw it, she asked immediately.

The two old ladies got along well, so Aunt Cai naturally didn't hide anything and told them that she wanted to find a wife for Kangzi.

Grandma Gu had also seen Kangzi. When the Gu family moved half a month ago, the boy came to kowtow to them.

He is a well-behaved boy. I heard that he helps Jiayue manage the business in this city. He is also capable.

Such a good boy will never have trouble finding a wife.

"Isn't this easy? My wife's mother back home is a famous matchmaker throughout the southwest. After these busy days, I'll take you to find her. I guarantee I can find her according to your requirements!"

"Oh, that's great." The two started chatting about it.

As they were chatting, my eldest aunt and second aunt also joined in.

Everyone was chatting and tearing corn husks at the same time, and it seemed that life was peaceful.
