Wang Xu saw this look, like a kitten with its hair standing up, bluffing. He suppressed his anger, sighed, and softened his voice: "I don't have a childhood sweetheart. I have been a loner since I was a child, and I don't have a partner. I wanted to explain to you in front, but you didn't listen. You turned around and made a fuss. Let's go back."
Gu Xi looked at him, not knowing what was wrong with her. She felt her nose getting a little sour, and wanted to make a scene: "I'm not going back. I want to move in with Lin Ling."
Wang Xu really lost his temper when he saw her like this: "Anyway, go back first. You still have to send dried meat to your family tomorrow. I've exchanged it for you. Go back and pack it up. You still have to write the letter."
Gu Xi was so caught up in her emotions that she almost forgot about it: "Oh, I have to go back and write a letter first, and then move in tomorrow."
Aunt Chen and Lin Ling were actually stunned, thinking that Wang Xu was going to get angry and had already decided how to risk his life to save Gu Xi, but Wang Xu ended up coaxing Gu Xi instead.
Aunt Chen tried to find her voice again: "Well, finish the fermented rice wine before going back."
Gu Xi wrinkled her nose: "Aunt, this fermented rice wine doesn't have enough sugar in it, it's a bit sour, I can't drink it."
Lin Ling exclaimed, "How can it be sour? Auntie added a lot of sugar, it's quite sweet, what a waste."
Gu Xi watched as she was struggling over whether to finish the fermented rice wine or waste it. Wang Xu said nothing, walked over, picked up the bowl, drank it all in one gulp, then nodded, said hello and said goodbye to his aunt.
Gu Xi saw him finish the wine she had drunk in one gulp, her face flushed a little. She felt embarrassed to stay here any longer, so she lowered her head and quickly followed him.
Aunt Chen is an experienced person. She looked at the two people with eyes full of love: "It's not the wine that's sour, it's the people who are sour."
Lin Ling looked at her aunt and then at the backs of the two people leaving: "Hey, why should I worry about it? I don't care."
Auntie touched Lin Ling's head and said, "Yes, it's their business, don't interfere, don't let it affect their relationship. Too much involvement can make you a nobody."
Lin Ling smiled and nodded: "Gu Xi is not that kind of person, but I also know my limits, so don't worry, Auntie."
Aunt looked at the sky and said, "I'm going out to look for my mother. How come she hasn't come back yet after being out for so long today?"
Gu Xi followed Wang Xu back home. Wang Xu went to the room and took out the dried meat. "I exchanged six pounds of dried meat in total, one dollar and fifty cents per pound, a total of nine dollars. Now it's two pounds per bag. Do you need to re-wrap it? I also brought back some kraft paper."
Gu Xi couldn't help but tear off a piece of the dried meat to taste it, and subconsciously handed a piece to Wang Xu: "It's quite delicious. It can even open a factory."
Wang Xu didn't eat these things before, but since Gu Xi came, she would put everything into her mouth every time she ate: "You can't open a factory now. If you have more than six people, it's capitalism. Crack down on it."
Gu Xi pouted: "Then let the village take care of it, sign an agreement, and divide the equity."
Wang Xu was puzzled: "What is equity?"
Gu Xi tasted another small piece. "It means that if you open a factory with several people as partners, each person's share will be determined. For example, if you open a pig farm, you need a total of 100 yuan, but you only have 50 yuan, so you ask me and Lin Ling to participate. Lin Ling and I will each take 25 yuan. Then you will take 50% of the profits of this factory, and Lin Ling and I will each take 25%. This is roughly what it means, but there are other specific expenses that will be calculated separately."
Wang Xu roughly understood: "Finish the task at hand first. How do you package the meat? And have you finished writing the letter?"
Gu Xi hurried into the room and took out the prepared letter and handed it to Wang Xu: "The letter is ready. For the dried meat, I'll give you one pound per bag."
Wang Xu opened another bag and said, "These are mushrooms that the aunties in the village picked on the mountain and dried them. You can send them back as well."
Gu Xi suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Wang Xu was so thoughtful, but her attitude was not very good: "Thank you, how much is this?"
Wang Xu was not polite: "Just give me ten dollars in total."
Gu Xi went back to the room to get the money and handed it to Wang Xu. Wang Xu looked at her and took the money: "I didn't mean to talk to people behind your back. It's just that my contact with you is mostly based on my personal feelings. I trust you. Others have never contacted you. I have to respect them. It doesn't matter if something happens to me. I have a miserable life. Others have their own families. I can't put them at risk because of me."
Gu Xi lowered her head and replied in an embarrassed voice: "Actually, I know everything and I can understand it. Besides, we have only known each other for less than two weeks. You and Wan Xi grew up together, so your friendship must be deeper than mine."
Wang Xu looked at the top of the little girl's head. Her hair had just been washed and was loose, soft and smooth. "I hardly talk to others, but I talk a little more to you. So whether the friendship is deep or not does not depend on how long we have known each other, but on the person. After my mother passed away, I didn't talk to anyone for about half a year. I'm used to being alone."
Gu Xi felt a little shy after hearing this, and some emotions spread in her heart. She raised her head and looked at Wang Xu: "You were only five years old at that time, right? You should still be living next door, right? Didn't they care about you? Didn't they talk to you?"
Wang Xuyun smiled calmly: "This is the living arrangement we have now before my mother passed away. It was my mother who paid for the construction of the house. Everyone in the village knows about it, so it's difficult for them to chase me away.
My mother had not passed away yet, but when she fell ill, Yao Cuilian could not wait to come in, and she wanted to follow her even though she had no title or status.
Before she died, my mother gave Tian Guodong a sum of money and asked him to take care of me until I came of age. He used the money to marry Yao Cuilian, and had two children. He lived a comfortable life and never thought about me. He just wanted to make sure I didn't starve or freeze to death.
Until later my mother's teacher found me, took me back and took care of me for five years. When I was eleven years old, he met his wife and it was inconvenient for me to live there, so I moved back. The house next door had already been occupied by someone else. I was almost as tall as Tian Guodong at that time, and I had a fight with him. I won. He called several more people over, and I fought them desperately and drove them back. The door in the middle was installed at that time. That was also when I established my reputation. "
Gu Xi felt very uncomfortable just listening to it. She couldn't imagine how Wang Xu, the person involved, could calmly talk about these past events: "Wang Xu, I must talk to you more in the future."
Wang Xu curled his lips: "You have talked enough now."
I repackaged the dried meat and put it in a cloth bag with the letter. "Okay, I'll help you mail it tomorrow. I may be away for two or three days this time. Please take good care of the house and don't run around. If anything is missing from the house, you have to compensate me."
