Chapter 18 The Shy Little Husband



Chi Yuyao: “!!!”

"Brother, I didn't mean it. Can we not practice more?"

She even deliberately looked at Guifeng with her big watery eyes, trying to make Guifeng let her go because she was so cute.

Although she really wanted to become stronger, she still had the body of a child and she had already been training for an hour.

With her small body now, she really can't hold on any longer.

Gui Feng glanced at Chi Yuyao.

Finally, I relented.

"Go wash them, and come and help me dry the beans."

Chi Yuyao cheered happily.

He immediately washed his hands and came over, stood aside, and delivered the cooked beans to Gui Feng.

The beans were rinsed with cold water and are not very hot.

Chi Yuyao asked curiously, "Brother, why did you cook the beans and dry them?"

Gui Feng patiently answered, "This sun-dried string bean is delicious when used to cook rice. We still have some flour at home. I'll make some flour tomorrow and give it to you to make string bean and pork buns."

Chi Yuyao drooled and wanted to eat it very much.

But he still held back: "No, no, I'm just curious and ask Goff."

Gui Feng took the beans from Chi Yuyao's hand and hung them on the bamboo pole. "Well, these dried beans are quite valuable. After I came back two years ago, I formed a partnership with the brothers from the escort agency and bought ten acres of land to grow beans. We specialize in selling dried beans, and each of us can earn at least three hundred taels a year."

Chi Yuyao was shocked: "So many, so Brother, do you usually make money by growing beans?"

Gui Feng: "Yeah, I mainly invest money in it, and you just need to collect the money every year. There are also some fruits and vegetables that we don't have here. I will give you one or two taels of silver every month in the future. You can buy whatever you want."

Chi Yuyao was shocked: "!"

She shook her head quickly: "No, no."

She was already very grateful to Goff for rescuing her and her brother from that cannibalistic place, and she would never take money from him.

Gui Feng glanced at Chi Yuyao with a complicated expression.

But he didn't say much.

Seeing that Gui Feng did not continue the previous topic, Chi Yuyao breathed a sigh of relief and began to change the subject.

"Goff, do you think I will be great in the future?"

Gui Feng: "If you study hard and practice martial arts, you will become very powerful. You are very strong and suitable for martial arts."

Chi Yuyao was happy to hear Gui Feng praising her, and asked quickly: "Brother, do you think if I practice martial arts well, can I become the top martial arts champion in the future?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she received Guifeng's undisguised look of contempt and disgust.

"What are you thinking, little kid? Is it that easy to pass the exam to become the top martial arts student? Not only do you have to be good at studying, you also have to have strategic skills, be able to wield a sword that weighs nearly 300 kilograms, and be beautiful and powerful in martial arts."

Chi Yuyao chuckled: "I was just saying this casually. Can I eat this bean now?"

Guifeng: "You can eat it cooked, but you can't eat it raw, it will cause poisoning."

Chi Yuyao: "Okay."

"Gof, what did you put in the bamboo shoot pot this morning?"

Chi Yuyao is now like a curious baby, wanting to ask everything.

Gui Feng patiently answered Chi Yuyao's question: "Sansho, the pickled bamboo shoots are sour and spicy and delicious. You can also add some when cooking. How about when your brother goes to register for the academy in two days, I will also register you?"

Chi Yuyao immediately shook her head: "No, no, I will just practice martial arts with my brother-in-law. When I grow up, I want to be a chivalrous hero."

Gui Feng listened to Chi Yuyao's dream without saying anything to please her.

It's good for children to have some dreams.

When you grow up and are exposed to more things, you will find that the things you fantasized about when you were a child were too naive after all.

Reality is cruel.

Chi An originally wanted to eat in the kitchen.

But he saw Gui Feng teaching Chi Yuyao how to write in the yard.

He brought out the food and sat down at the stone table to eat.

Watching Gui Feng across the street teaching Chi Yuyao how to write.

Guifeng didn't go shirtless today.

The upper body clothes are well worn.

He no longer has the boldness of the past, but is more reserved and steady.

It might be because he left several teeth marks and kiss marks on Guifeng's body last night.

Chi An now feels a little embarrassed when he thinks about what happened last night.

A little blushing.

Chi Yuyao finished writing her name and showed it to Guifeng: "Brother, take a look and see if Yaoyao's writing is beautiful."

Gui Feng looked at the crooked words on the paper without any praise. He just said honestly, "Ugly, very ugly."

Chi Yuyao almost cried after listening to Gui Feng's words: "..." Who says that to a child? Shouldn't they praise him first?

Not happy o(╥﹏╥)o Although it is indeed a bit ugly.

But this was the second person in two lifetimes who was willing to teach her how to write.

The previous one was her brother.

In the previous life, everything in the house was used by my eldest brother.

It was even more impossible to give them such precious things as paper and pens.

Her second brother used branches to teach her to read on the ground.

Gui Feng had already noticed that Chi An had been looking at him.

He looked up.

Chi An immediately lowered his head and ate.

But his red ears gave him away.

Gui Feng felt that Chi An was really awkward.

Wasn't he the one who provoked him first in the beginning?

Also very proactive.

Why have you become so shy now?

At this moment there was a knock on the door.

Li Zheng brought two yamen runners to measure the land.

Gui Feng stood up and pinched Chi An's earlobe: "Eat well and go read later. I will ask the teacher to test you in the evening. Yaoyao, go to the kitchen to get some sweet water and bring it out later."

Chi Yuyao immediately ran to get the sweet water happily.

The sweet water tastes good, but Goff said she is still young and can't drink too much.

I’m afraid my teeth will get damaged.

I should be able to drink a little today.

Guifeng went out and watched the yamen runners measuring the land.

Because Li Zheng said good things.

When measuring the land, the yamen runners measured a little more.

After drinking the sugar water, the bailiff gave the land deed to Guifeng.

Guifeng took out the three taels of silver he had prepared and handed it to the yamen runner.

By the way, he also gave each yamen runner three cents as travel expenses.

The two yamen runners laughed happily.

There are constant wars outside now, and the price of food has risen again. I took my three cents home to buy a pound of bones for my wife and children to make soup.

After the bailiffs left, Guifeng originally wanted to invite Li Zheng to stay for dinner.

Li Zheng did not agree and left first, saying that he had something else to do.

In the afternoon, Li Ergou and Liu Hu came over with a few recruited men and boys.

First clear the weeds around here.

Start laying the foundation.

There are many people and the speed is fast.

The people recruited by Liu Hu and Li Ergou are all capable.

In just one afternoon, half of the foundation was completed.

The foundation will probably be ready tomorrow.

The first batch of tiles and bricks ordered will arrive tomorrow morning.

If things go well, the house can be built this month.

As it was almost evening, Guifeng settled today's money for those people.

"You are all from the surrounding villages, so you don't have to eat lunch. Liu Hu and his men should have told you before you came here that you will get five cents a day. You have worked for half a day today, and since you have done a good job, I will give you three cents."

The few men and boys who were recruited were all somewhat surprised and a little surprised.

They originally thought that this work would only earn them a penny, or at most two cents.

I didn't expect it was three cents.

This is the money they earn for a day's work at the dock.

Several of them quickly said that they would do their best.

Guifeng paid the money and let them go home early.

It's getting late, so it's okay for men, but it's not safe for boys to walk on the road.

Just got home.

Songyue ran over, hugged Guifeng's thigh, and asked for a touch.

Today, Guifeng spent the whole afternoon with those people on the ground. No one played with it or touched it.

Guifeng easily picked up Songyue and placed him on a bamboo chair.

This bamboo chair was made by Guifeng specifically for Songyue.

This is Songyue's exclusive chair.

Chi An and Chi Yuyao were bringing out the prepared meals.

Chi An put down the plate, walked to Gui Feng, and held Gui Feng's hand: "Brother Song Yue, what do you want to eat?"

Chi An could see that Gui Feng liked the iron-eating beast very much.

But he didn't know what the iron beast ate.

He didn't cook for Songyue, fearing that the iron-eating beast would get an upset stomach and his brother would blame him.

So I asked in advance to make it clear that I was not deliberately not cooking for Songyue, but I didn't know what Songyue could eat.
