Chapter 131 Mr. Chen, I look down on you
In the afternoon, Gu Xixi agreed with An Qinghe that she would meet with several farmers who grew Pinellia fruit trees after dinner.
An Qinghe asked Shitou if he wanted to go with him.
Shitou glanced at Gu Xixi and pouted timidly, "I'm not going!"
He knew Sister Xixi's habits. When the adults were discussing serious matters, children should not interfere.
Planting fruit trees is a big deal. Since Sister Xixi is going to take this blue-eyed boy with her, it must be a very important matter.
Shitou had no choice but to eat.
An Qinghe quickened his pace and ate everything in a flash, then went out with Gu Xixi, patting his full stomach.
Aunt Zhang went to the backyard to get the dishes and chopsticks used by the old doctor.
There were two people and a cat left in the house.
Shitou wiped the table with a rag in anger. After a while, he could no longer bear it and said, "Sir, I look down on you for your performance today!"
Mu Nanzhao was not angry, and asked leisurely, "Why?"
Shitou dropped the rag, got up and stood on the kang, "Can't you see that the blue-eyed guy is interested in Sister Xixi!"
Mu Nanzhao laughed, with a hint of mockery, "How old are you? What do you know?"
Shitou curled his lips and said disdainfully, "Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've seen pigs run! My father and mother, as well as Gou Wa's parents, are so interesting when they are together!"
"The way that guy looked at Sister Xixi was exactly like the way my father looked at my mother!"
Mu Nanzhao was speechless and thought to himself, children nowadays are really hard to raise.
He raised his eyes to look at Shitou, "Where's Gu Xixi? Do you think the way she looks at An Qinghe is like the way your mother looks at your father?"
Shitou was stumped by the question. He slowly sat down and shook his head, "Hmm... not really."
"What do you mean by not quite like it?" Mu Nanzhao was unhappy. "It's clearly a fabrication!"
Shitou suddenly raised his head, and the corners of his mouth were smiling almost to his ears.
Mu Nanzhao had a bad feeling and was about to stand up and leave with a stern face.
But he heard Shitou snickering and clapping his hands, "Jealous! Sir is jealous right now, right?!"
Mu Nanzhao's face was frosty, but he couldn't freeze the strange blush on his ears.
"What do you know, little brat? Stop making so much noise!"
Shitou was ecstatic. He had discovered a big secret! So that's how it was!
Mr. Chen was acting so arrogant before. He obviously cared about Sister Xixi a lot!
But Sister Xixi seems to be just like Mr. Chen...
Shi Tou suddenly felt some sympathy for Mu Nanzhao.
He said seriously, "Although I don't think highly of you, sir, but compared to that An Qinghe, I don't want Sister Xixi to be with him."
Mu Nanzhao asked, "Why?"
Shitou sighed, "It is said that if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog! He is from the Western Regions. What if Sister Xixi marries him and follows him back to the Western Regions? Wouldn't it be very difficult for me to see Sister Xixi in the future?"
Mu Nanzhao's mind flashed with the image of Gu Xixi getting married and going to the Western Regions, and he felt annoyed.
"No."
"Of course not?" Shitou said, "Look at how he behaves. He is so likable. Grandma Zhang started to be on guard against him, but now she has become one of our own!"
He paused, "But he tried to please me just now, but I didn't accept it. I'm not that easily bribed!"
Mu Nanzhao raised his eyebrows, "You mean Gu Xixi can be easily bribed?"
"Hmph!" Shitou clasped his hands in his arms, like a little adult.
"It's not Sister Xixi's problem, it's Mr.'s problem!"
Mu Nanzhao frowned, "Why are you so talkative? Just say what you want to say!"
Shitou took a deep breath and shook his head. "Sir, you have lived in this house for almost a year. I heard everything that Grandma Zhang urged Sister Xixi to give you a status. Sister Xixi never agreed to it directly."
Mu Nanzhao said angrily, "You don't understand what's going on between her and me."
Gu Xixi promised from the beginning that she had no desire for Mu Nanzhao.
Mu Nanzhao himself was very satisfied with this at the beginning.
Who knew that later...
Shitou continued to analyze, "The question is, how many days have Anqinghe and Sister Xixi known each other?"
"Look how happy Sister Xixi was when she was talking to him!"
"Also, An Qinghe grows fruit trees. It is said that his family is also a big landowner. Sister Xixi happens to like farming, so the two of them will have more things to talk about. It would not be surprising if Sister Xixi fell in love with him one day."
Mu Nanzhao's original feeling of confidence began to unwavering.
Gu Xixi went to great lengths to find medicinal herbs for him, even at the risk of her own life.
She was so happy when she found the firefly flower.
Isn’t this pleasing?
Looking back, she seemed to have never been as dependent on him as other women, and she never reacted like a long time had passed since they last saw each other for a day.
so……
Shitou concluded, "If you can't please Sister Xixi anymore, she will marry and go to the Western Regions!"
Mu Nanzhao felt as if his heart had been hit by a heavy hammer.
Shitou was still mumbling, "It's a pity that I'm too young and don't deserve Sister Xixi to wait for me for more than ten years. Otherwise, when I grow up, what share will you have?"
Mu Nanzhao didn't hear what was said behind the stone.
He suddenly stood up and rushed out of the house like a gust of wind.
When I saw Aunt Zhang coming out of the backyard, I asked loudly, "Where are you going?"
Mu Nanzhao replied, "Go pick her up," but the person had already disappeared.
At this time, Mu Nanzhao was walking in the quiet little village at night.
He was filled with an emotion he had never experienced before.
Passionate, impulsive, even almost crazy.
Mu Nanzhao couldn't wait to see Gu Xixi, he had to let her know how he felt.
The village chief, Mr. Qian’s family.
Several families have heard a lot about how to grow Pinellia trees and are becoming more optimistic about the future.
It seemed that An Qinghe had almost finished what he said.
Gu Xixi said casually, "While Boss An and everyone else are here, let me tell you why I am sure that the fruit will be produced in two to three years."
grafting.
Select a suitable rootstock and graft it onto the Pinellia truncatum seedlings.
There are many benefits, including dwarfing of fruit trees, faster fruiting period, more fruit-bearing branches, more stable fruit quality, etc.
Everyone was stunned after hearing this.
Grafting? How can you cut off one tree and graft it onto another?
Gu Xixi smiled and said, "The principle is a bit complicated, I'm sorry I can't explain it in detail."
Mrs. Qin raised her hand and said, "I believe Xixi."
Others also expressed their opinions, "No need to explain, when the time comes, we will do whatever Xixi says!"
To put it bluntly, the contract has been signed, so there is only one way to go!
An Qinghe just sat there blankly, as if his soul had left his body.
Old Qian waved his hand in front of An Qinghe's eyes, "Boss An is asleep?"
An Qinghe's eyes moved, as if he had just woken up from a dream.
He turned his head to look at Gu Xixi, then suddenly stood up and pounced over.
An Qinghe grabbed Gu Xixi's shoulders and shook her, "Xixi, you are a genius! You are a messenger sent to me by the gods!"
Gu Xixi was dizzy from being shaken by him, "Let go! Speak properly!"
How could the villagers allow an outsider to "bully" Gu Xixi? Two people immediately came forward and pushed An Qinghe away from the left and right.
An Qinghe did not struggle, "No wonder you asked me to find so many kinds of wood secretly!"
