Chapter 112 Calf
Jun Qiulan deeply felt that it was a right decision to rent this warehouse.
It's a long-term rental, sparsely populated, and it's no problem to smuggle some supplies in occasionally.
The driver dropped him off at the place he was visiting. It was strange. Who would rent a warehouse in such a place?
"I really don't want you to be sent there?"
Jun Qiulan was rather embarrassed. "No, thank you for making this trip. I just contacted the villagers. It's not convenient for the car to get in there, so they came on a tricycle to take it back."
Now, he can tell lies without hesitation.
It seems like I'm used to it.
"Okay, I'll wait for you for a while. It's hard to get a taxi here. I'll take you back to the set later."
How could Jun Qiulan dare?
"No, I have something else to do later, brother, you can go back first."
"Okay." The driver didn't say anything more and had to go back to report.
Jun Qiulan also breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that I have to tell my father to talk less about this with Grandpa Yan in the future. I just said that most people in their village rely on cows for farming, and their family doesn’t have any cows, so Grandpa Yan gave my father a cow.
What a simple gift.
Fortunately, Grandpa Yan only sent a calf this time, so he will probably be able to take it with him.
What if the animal delivered was a full-grown bull? Where would he raise it?
By then, I'm afraid we'll have to take it away piece by piece.
Thinking of that scene, Jun Qiulan wanted to laugh. What if Grandpa Yan asked in a letter how the cow tasted, and his father replied, "It tastes good!" Hahahahaha!!!
I dare not think about it, I dare not think about it.
A calf is better. As long as we can take it over and raise it for a few months, it will be able to pull a cart.
Their family also has an additional means of transportation.
Jun Qiulan led the calf into the door and then closed the rolling door of the warehouse.
After seeing the car go far away through the sporadic gaps in the rolling door, I prepared to lead the cattle across.
He squatted down and looked the calf in the eye. "My dear, I'm going to take you to another place. It might be dangerous. Are you willing to take this adventure with me?"
He heard from an old farmer in the village that cows, like cats and dogs, have human nature.
The calf blinked his big, adorable eyes and mooed.
Jun Qiulan took it as his agreement.
He patted the calf's head, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in his bedroom.
He immediately turned to look at the calf.
The calf tilted its head. "Moo?"
Jun Qiulan was not sure. The first time he brought the pheasant through time, it took the pheasant several breaths to cluck.
He looked and looked, and the calf stared at him.
One minute passed, two minutes, five minutes...
Jun Qiulan breathed a sigh of relief.
After working so hard for so long, I can finally carry a living creature as heavy as a calf.
I don’t know how much the calf weighs, or whether he can carry heavier living things?
Jun Qiulan sighed for a while. After all, this calf was probably about the same weight as Wan'er.
It’s time to start thinking about taking Wan’er to the modern era.
This matter needs to be arranged carefully.
Live directly at home?
I'm afraid it's not very convenient.
He has always lived alone, but Liu Yue and Yan Jing might come over occasionally.
Wan'er looks so much like him.
Anyone who sees them knows that they are family.
However, his external identity there was that of an orphan who grew up in a Taoist temple.
How to explain the sudden appearance of a beautiful sister?
Let Wan'er live somewhere else alone?
No, he was not at ease either.
Although the modern world is peaceful and advanced, it also has dangers. Wan'er has just arrived in the new world, so there must be many things she is not used to.
Jun Qiulan thought about it and decided to go back and ask if there were any houses for rent or sale in the same building.
The money I have is more than enough to buy a house in Fengcheng.
In the short term, apart from buying a car and a house, he had no other major expenses.
Jun Qiulan pondered in the room for a while, then led the calf that was pacing back and forth out of the room.
It looks like the calf is about to poop.
Don't poop in his room.
There's no one at home.
Jun Qiulan thought about it and thought that they must have gone into the city to look at houses.
He couldn't help but smile. If you had to buy a house here in ancient times, you would have to buy a house here in modern times.
Fortunately, he is no longer short of money in both worlds.
Jun Baisong was not at home either. He was probably taken by his parents to look at houses.
After all, that was the home Jun Bai gave him.
This really put Jun Qiulan in a difficult position.
Song Yan was not here either. He was busy with the affairs of his shop and the men's technical school.
Even during the holidays, there are still a lot of follow-up arrangements. Song Yan is the busiest person in the family and he goes out early and comes back late almost every day.
Wait, that doesn’t seem right either.
Wasn’t Song Yan previously dragged along by Wan’er and Miao’er to do research together?
Why did you suddenly stop? Are things in the city really that busy?
Jun Qiulan always felt something was weird.
What should the calf do if it can’t find anyone?
He has to hurry back.
Jun Qiulan thought about it and asked the aunt next door to help watch it for a while.
As soon as they opened the door, they met Ma Zhong walking towards their house happily.
Ma Zhong was surprised when he saw Jun Qiulan holding the calf in her hand: "This calf looks quite strong."
Although he was also very curious why the calf was taken away from home.
Isn't there a donkey shed next to their house? It shouldn't be a problem if the calf and the donkey share it.
Could it be that this clean and beautiful calf is meant to be a pet playmate?
Ma Zhong couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
Jun Qiulan didn't explain: "Uncle Ma, are you here to see my father?"
Ma Zhong: "No, no, I'm here to see you."
He was also dragged into the article.
Jun Qiulan was surprised: "Uncle Ma, if you have anything to say, just tell me."
Ma Zhong smiled and said, "It's a good thing to say. Mr. Wang, should Mr. Jun know him?"
Jun Qiulan found such a person from a corner. When the epidemic broke out before, Mr. Wang was sent to the hospital camp. It was Wan'er who took care of him for a few days. She has always been grateful to her. Later, the shop that Song Yan rented in the city also belonged to Mr. Wang.
"Mr. Wang? Does he have something to talk to me about?"
Ma Zhong: "Speaking of which, this is the first time I've done something like this. Mr. Wang has a little daughter who came of age a few days ago. Since Mr. Jun has never been married, Mr. Wang wants to marry her to a man from both families. However, Mr. Wang also said that Mr. Jun is a man of great fortune, so just giving his daughter the status of a concubine will be enough."
Jun Qiulan's scalp was tingling.
Jigui means fifteen years old, and one has to get married at the age of fifteen.
And finally, the marriage proposal came to him.
Before, most of the villagers probably thought he was a lazy guy, staying at home every day and never going out. All the big and small things at home were handled by his parents. Even his younger sister went to the general's mansion to work as a maid to earn money to supplement the family income.
So until now, no one has ever seriously proposed marriage to him. I heard my mother mention it before, saying that someone in the village had vaguely asked him about it, but my mother refused. This is the first time that someone has openly proposed marriage to him.
The person we are looking for is the village head.
It was estimated that Mr. Wang heard some rumors, but did not hear them completely, so he wanted to send his daughter over early to take up the so-called position.
Jun Qiulan sighed: "Uncle Ma, this is not acceptable. The girl is still young, and our family does not have the habit of taking concubines."
"This..." Ma Zhong was only a village head after all, and he had a son who worked as a minor official in the government office, but that was all his knowledge.
Although the daughter of Mr. Wang is far inferior to the Jun family in appearance, she can be considered a beautiful girl with a gentle personality. She has been educated and is well-educated.
Girls like this are extremely popular in the entire border town.
As a result, Mr. Wang said that he would send his daughter to be a concubine and did not want the position of wife, but was rejected by Jun Qiulan.
Li Zheng just couldn't figure it out.
Young? Most girls and boys get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen.
Is there anything wrong with this? Jun Qiulan is almost 21 years old. Isn't he anxious for a young man of this age?
Jun Qiulan knew that it was impossible to explain it to him, but this matter did need to be put on the agenda.
The average life expectancy here is short, far inferior to that in the other world.
It is unrealistic to wait until men are 22 and women are 20 before getting married.
However, getting married and having children at the age of fifteen or sixteen is indeed too early.
According to scientific explanation, if a girl is too young and her body has not yet fully developed, giving birth at this time may easily cause difficult labor and the child may die prematurely.
But many people don't realize this.
Most girls start dating when they are twelve or thirteen years old, and get married when they are fifteen or sixteen.
Jun Qiulan is not a girl, so he cannot feel it personally, but he has a younger sister.
He didn't want his sister to get married and have children at such a young age.
There is a sentence that Jun Qiulan has never understood. Everyone says that women cannot carry on the family line, but after a girl gets married, they say that the responsibility of carrying on the family line is handed over to her.
Isn't this a pure contradiction?
And the previous issues with the brothel and Nanfeng Pavilion have not been resolved yet.
Jun Qiulan once again sincerely rejected Ma Zhong's kindness: "Uncle Ma, please take some time to help me run a trip and tell Mr. Wang that our family has no plans to get married for the time being."
If you talk too much, you might end up hurting people.
Ma Zhong sighed, still unable to figure it out.
He knew that Jun Qiulan was lucky. He had seen the changes in the village and the city over the years. Everything else was fine, so why were these brother and sister so clueless about marriage?
During this period, many people came to him to ask about Jun Shuwan's marriage.
He knew the attitudes of Mr. Jun and Mrs. Song, so he helped to refuse them directly. However, he didn't expect that the girl was not in a hurry to get married, and the son was not in a hurry to get married?
Ma Zhong, a native villager, didn't quite understand.
"Okay." Ma Zhong smiled again. "Your calf is a male, right? He looks strong and sturdy. When he grows up, you can breed him with my cow."
Jun Qiulan was choked again.
The little calf, a calf that was born not long ago, and people are already thinking about breeding it?
Jun Qiulan didn't know how to refuse this.
"Let's wait until the calf grows up. As for breeding, the bull and the cow have to like the calf. If they don't like the calf, don't fight."
Ma Zhong smiled and said, "Okay, I won't bother you anymore."
After Ma Zhong left, Jun Qiulan shook his head helplessly.
In the eyes of most people, is there really no difference between humans and livestock?
After a certain period of time, it is time to breed and give birth to cubs.
Jun Qiulan suddenly thought of Tian Rui.
He had brought Tian Rui back from Nanfeng Pavilion before, to learn dancing, but he also had other ideas.
After all, Tian Rui was raised as a "girl", but he knew clearly that he was a man.
I don't want to create a male-female confrontation, but at the very least, there should be someone who can make girls realize that they are not a money-losing commodity.
Let the girls learn to stand up on their own.
If a man sets out to do this, he may be pointed at and called a traitor by many men. It depends on whether he dares to do it.
Jun Qiulan looked at the time and could spare some free time.
He first went next door and handed the calf to Mrs. Zhao.
"Please, Madam, watch over me for half a day. You can let me out to graze. I'll bring it back to you later when my parents come back."
"Okay, leave it to me."
Old Madam Zhao's face was flushed.
For more than a year, they have been relying on the Jun family for their livelihood. It can be said that without the help of the Jun family, the women and children in their family would not know what kind of life they would live, let alone what dangers they would encounter.
Even her old bones might not survive.
Things are different now. Several daughters-in-law have started their own businesses with the Jun family. Her two little grandchildren also go to the village school to continue their studies, and her little daughter has also made achievements following Miss Jun.
The most important thing is that his three sons are doing well in the military camp. They came back for a few days some time ago and looked stronger than before.
She also heard that her three sons were assigned to work as cooks in the kitchen. Although they still had to train with the soldiers every day, they did not have to go to the battlefield unless it was an emergency.
I can get such an opportunity only thanks to Miss Jun.
After handing the calf over to Mrs. Zhao, Jun Qiulan went straight to the small house rented by Tian Rui.
The house has been completely renovated.
He was Jun Qiulan's dance teacher, and Jun Qiulan did not treat this teacher badly.
"Mr. Jun, no, Comrade Jun, why did you decide to come here today? Are you going to learn dancing again?"
When Jun Qiulan arrived, Tian Rui was mending clothes in the yard.
"What is this doing?" he asked.
Tian Rui smiled and said, "I learned embroidery quite well in the past. I can't always rely on Comrade Jun's financial support. I just want to make some embroidery and sell it. Oh, by the way, the girls' school was looking for embroidery teachers, and I applied for the position. I'll just wait until the girls finish their cultural studies so that I can have a job to make a living."
Jun Qiulan felt relieved to see that she was not ashamed of her "woman's abilities" but was prepared to support herself with them and work hard to make a living.
"It's like this. I have an important matter that I want to entrust to you. I wonder if Tian Tongzhi is willing to do it."
"Comrade Jun, please feel free to speak." Tian Rui smiled warmly.
He had long guessed that Jun Qiulan brought him back on purpose, and it was definitely not just for learning dancing.
Moreover, Jun Qiulan's dance clearly bears the traces of another teacher. Maybe learning to dance has other uses.
He has been waiting for the truly important thing.
Jun Qiulan couldn't delay too long, so he just spoke frankly.
We want to change the current situation of girls, the problems of early marriage and early childbearing, and whether brothels and Nanfengguan should close down and change their business.
It is far from enough to rely solely on my mother's girls' school to give girls the opportunity and ability to make money.
Tian Rui was stunned.
Are there so many things for him to do?
But he was not afraid. Instead, he became more and more excited as he listened.
What Jun Qiulan said were all the pain and suffering he had experienced as a "woman".
He had thought about changing before, but he couldn't find the direction.
It’s different now.
The guiding light is right before our eyes.
In the past, when he was in Nanfeng Pavilion, he couldn't escape and thought he would rot there for the rest of his life.
However, a turning point appeared.
Coming to this village and settling down, he thought it would be nice to live an ordinary life like this.
Perhaps he never thought that he could accomplish something great in his life.
Jun Qiulan explained in detail that when he thought of these problems before, he had already been thinking of some solutions, but he lacked an executor.
At this moment, looking at Tian Rui's excited face, he felt much more relieved.
It would be best if Tian Rui was willing to do it, otherwise we would have to think of other ways.
They are short of people. They are still short of people.
If they wanted to rebel, their current manpower, except for General Huo's army, was just a makeshift team.
Everyone has to do multiple things, otherwise it would be impossible to arrange everything.
"Comrade Jun, rest assured. Leave this matter to me."
Jun Qiulan smiled and nodded. "Let's call this organization the Women's Alliance from now on. If you need anything, just go to the government office and find Magistrate Duan. He will help you arrange it."
Tian Rui was surprised again for a moment, but he didn't show it on his face.
It was obvious that he had already guessed what Jun Qiulan and the others were going to do.
What are you afraid of?
Rather than living a mediocre life, it is better to give it a try. If they succeed in the future, his name, Tian Rui, will also be written into history books.
Jun Qiulan looked up at the time, realizing she couldn't delay any longer. "I have to go now. Please summarize what I just said and the general implementation plan. Then, make the best adjustments based on the situation. If you have any questions later, please come to me in the evening."
"Okay, then Comrade Jun, go ahead and do your work. I'll think about it over here."
Jun Qiulan walked without stopping, as if there was a dog chasing him.
Tian Rui looked at it and couldn't help laughing.
I really don’t know what this former prince has experienced.
He is almost invisible during the day. Villagers say that he paints and writes inscriptions on folding fans at home to earn money for his family.
But he knew that Jun Qiulan must have done more than that.
After Jun Qiulan returned to the warehouse, he quickly took a Didi Express car, went home first, changed his clothes, and then went to the crew.
I was a little late, and Yan Jing saw it but didn't say anything.
Even Jun Qiulan couldn't help feeling guilty.
Yan Jing didn't ask, and he didn't feel comfortable explaining himself.
The filming of the crew is in full swing.
It’s finally Jun Qiulan’s turn to act.
He appeared as a noble young man, the most handsome man, dressed in gorgeous clothes, at a banquet with great cheer.
In an instant, it attracted everyone's attention.
This is the general plot of this episode.
Yan Jing had never let Jun Qiulan try on makeup before, because he knew that Jun Qiulan's outfit would never be bad.
Now that the makeup artist had really put on his makeup, not to mention the others, even Yan Jing himself couldn't help but gasp.
The costume is not as formal as the Hanfu that Jun Qiulan wore to the award ceremony before. Although it is equally luxurious, it has a more casual look and is really suitable for him.
Jun Qiulan felt the fiery gaze in Yan Jing's eyes and felt a little uncomfortable.
In fact, he was also a little surprised when he looked in the mirror just now.
Hairstyle, makeup, clothing, every combination is just right.
According to his own words, his beauty, which was originally 90 points, was raised to 100 points by this outfit.
He's not narcissistic.
The facts are before our eyes.
"The designer who made this dress has a really good aesthetic."
The shape and style should not belong to the category of clothing in previous dynasties, but should be improved.
The makeup artist was right next to him: "You don't know yet, but your clothes were basically designed by Director Yan Jing. Although there were professional designers assisting with the details, the main concept was Director Yan Jing's idea."
Jun Qiulan was surprised and found it incredible: "What else can't you do?"
Yan Jing smiled, "I only know a little bit. Alright, stop talking nonsense. Let's go take some makeup photos first, and then we can start filming. Today is all your part, so don't let me down."
To be honest, Jun Qiulan was really starting to get nervous.
The filming has been going on for so long, and he has been observing and learning on the crew almost every day. Naturally, he knows Yan Jing's temper, and he also has a certain understanding of Yan Jing's aesthetic taste for movies.
I used to think that after studying for so long, I was almost there.
When the filming really started, he became nervous again.
He asked quietly, "If I fail, be quiet when you scold me."
Yan Jing was speechless and amused.
Would he be willing to scold Jun Qiulan?
"If you don't want to get scolded, don't let me down." He almost gritted his teeth when he said this.
Halfway through the walk, he asked, "By the way, how are your abdominal muscles working out?"
This time it was Jun Qiulan's turn to be speechless. "I'm still practicing, and the situation is pretty good."
Yan Jing nodded thoughtfully: "Let me see it tonight."
"What, what?" Jun Qiulan stopped.
Following behind them, a makeup artist and Liu Yue, both took a deep breath, and then their faces were full of disbelief.
Although they also support the couple Jun Qiulan and Yan Jing.
The scene is up and down, although everyone is just quietly shipping it, CP articles and short comic strips are flying all over the place.
The two of them were also secretly taking it.
But no matter how addicted they are, would it be more addictive if the real person was right in front of them and force-fed candy into their mouths?
Yan Jing realized that his words were a bit ambiguous: "Go to the gym, I'll see how far you've trained, and then I'll see if any adjustments are needed. With your figure, if you overtrain your muscles, it won't look good, and it might even lack aesthetic appeal."
Ever since he personally went to coach Jun Qiulan, he has never gone to the gym with Jun Qiulan again.
This place, um...
How to put it, the panting, the ups and downs, the sweat, it's so suggestive.
How much willpower does he need to not have any thoughts?
