Chapter 74 Gu Rong's Loss



In addition to letting Gu Rong take medicine, Zeng Hong also taught Gu Rong the Health Preserving Qigong, the Twelve Postures of the I Ching Muscles, and the Five Animal Exercises.

Although Zeng Hong is over 70 years old, his moves are quite powerful and his body is agile. If it weren't for his gray hair, you really wouldn't be able to tell that he is an old man.

After studying with Zeng Hong for a few days, Gu Rong mastered all the moves. Every morning he practiced Qigong in his own yard.

Pei Tiantian also practiced excitedly, waving her arms and legs. Although her moves were not very standard, she was very serious. However, she became listless after two days. She lay lazily with her belly tilted back, watching Gu Rong practicing alone in the yard.

Although the Health Qigong moves are simple and easy to learn, it is still very tiring to stick to them every day.

However, not only did Gu Rong practice on time every day, he also ran laps outside the house after practice.

Pei Tiantian secretly gave a thumbs up.

The villain is worthy of being a villain. His tenacity is unmatched by ordinary people.

No wonder he grew into a handsome man of 1.88 meters tall and long legs when he grew up. I guess he trained like this.

Just at this moment, good news came.

Xie Jiagui told Pei Tiantian and others through Zhou Wanhong that he had decided to officially purchase the vegetables grown by Gu Rong on a long-term basis.

That day, Xie Jiagui took the basket of vegetables back home and cooked them for the guests. Many people asked Xie Jiagui if he had changed the chef in the restaurant and why the food was better than before.

Xie Jiagui just smiled along.

In his small restaurant, there are only him and his wife Zhong Xiuying who cook. How could he afford to hire a chef from outside?

Later, more and more people said such things, so Xie Jiagui gradually made up his mind to cancel the contract with the previous vegetable supplier and instead purchase vegetables grown by Gu Rong's family on a long-term basis.

Although Xie Jiagui's decision was within Pei Tiantian's expectations, after all, the food in her space was so delicious that no one who had eaten it would say anything bad about it.

However, she still smiled after hearing the news.

When Xie Jiagui's imperial kitchen opens, she, as his regular vegetable supplier, will earn much more than the small amount of money she earns now.

Xie Jiagui agreed to drive his tricycle to Gu Rong's house every morning to pick up vegetables.

Although he wanted to go into Gu Rong's backyard several times to see how the vegetables were growing.

They were all stopped by Gu Rong on the grounds of "confidentiality".

Xie Jiagui no longer forced anyone to do things against their will.

Since the vegetables grown by Gu Rong are so delicious, there must be some unknown secrets in them.

It's normal that Gu Rong doesn't want anyone to know.

Anyway, as long as the daily supply of fresh vegetables is uninterrupted, Xie Jiagui doesn’t care how those vegetables are grown.

Pei Tiantian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Many of the vegetables they planted in the backyard had not grown yet. It would be embarrassing if Xie Jiagui went in and saw them.

Fortunately, Xie Jiagui is an honest man and will not bully Gu Rong just because he is a child.

Pei Tiantian also brought the vegetables in the space back to the Pei family. Everyone in the Pei family said that they were delicious and praised Gu Rong for his talent in growing vegetables.

Pei Tiantian could finally take out the vegetables from the space openly and throw five or ten kilograms of them into the Pei family's kitchen every day.

Everyone in the Pei family thought that the vegetables were brought by Gu Rong, and as time went by, they felt embarrassed about it.

After all, they all knew about Gu Rong and Xie Jiagui's business dealings.

The vegetables grown at Gu Rong's home are all going to be sold for money.

It would be ok for them to eat for a few days to try the new food, but no one would deliver so many pounds of vegetables every day, and they are not doing business.

Moreover, everyone in the Pei family thought that Gu Rong, an orphan, must have relied on the vegetable business to earn money for his future living expenses and tuition.

After giving away vegetables for free to the Pei family for such a long time, after deducting the costs, Gu Rong certainly wouldn't have made much.

So Wang Ruizhen grabbed Gu Rong and stuffed him with money for food several times, asking him to save it.

Gu Rong: “…”

Helpless, Gu Rong could only turn around and put the food money that Wang Ruizhen had stuffed into his pocket into Pei Tiantian's little pocket.

Pei Tiantian looked embarrassed. In order not to cause trouble to the villain, she had no choice but to stop sending food to the Pei family so often.

Early that morning, Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong waited at the doorstep for Xie Jiagui to come and harvest the vegetables at the usual time.

Xie Jiagui did not come, but Liu Changlong came driving a tractor.

Liu Changlong looked at the baskets of vegetables at the door, got off the tractor, and said to them, "Jiagui has something going on at home, so let me help him bring the vegetables to town."

Pei Tiantian suddenly realized that the world was really small. She didn't expect that Xie Jiagui was not from Huangsha Village and also knew Liu Changlong.

But what happened to Xie Jiagui?

According to Xie Jiagui's habit, he would personally check all the vegetables he bought in every day before he would feel at ease to deliver them back to the restaurant.

Liu Changlong loaded several baskets of vegetables onto the tractor and was about to leave when he heard Pei Tiantian's voice: "Captain Uncle, what happened to Uncle Xie?"

Liu Changlong wanted to say it was nothing, but then he remembered that Pei Tiantian was Zeng Hong’s disciple and was also studying medicine, so he thought there might be some good ideas.

He explained, "It has been raining these days, and Jiagui's mother's back pain has recurred. I heard that the pain was particularly severe today, and she couldn't even get out of bed. Jiagui was worried about her, so he had to stay at home to take care of his mother."

Pei Tiantian nodded in understanding.

It turned out that someone in the family was sick.

"Tiantian, since you are studying medicine with Mr. Zeng Hong, do you have any good way to cure back pain? Jiagui's mother has spent a lot of money on back pain and has been to many big hospitals, but it can't be cured."

Pei Tiantian looked up in surprise, as if she didn't expect Liu Changlong to ask her.

Seeing the trust in Liu Changlong's eyes, Pei Tiantian felt happy. She thought for a moment and said, "The waist pain gets worse on rainy days. I think the old lady has a waist pain caused by dampness and cold. Master's book does introduce a few prescriptions that should be of some use. But I still have to go see the old lady in person and ask her clearly before I can prescribe the right medicine."

Seeing that Pei Tiantian's words were well-reasoned and she didn't seem unsure, Liu Changlong's eyes lit up.

"Then Tiantian, would you like to go with me to see Jiagui's mother?"

Pei Tiantian readily agreed, as this was a rare opportunity to put her skills into practice.

She asked Gu Rong to help her ask Zeng Hong for a day off, then she got on Liu Changlong's tractor and left.

Gu Rong looked at the back of the tractor as it left, and heard Liu Changlong's voice and Pei Tiantian's crisp laughter coming from the tractor.

Somehow, I felt a sense of inexplicable loss.

Gu Rong felt that his mentality was strange and inappropriate.

It’s a good thing that Pei Tiantian uses the medical skills she has learned to treat people.
