After dinner, Wang Xu still felt that it was not appropriate for Wan Xi to stay here, so he asked Yin Jie to send her back and let her rest for her injuries.
After the two left, Gu Xi sat in the yard drinking brown sugar ginger tea. Wang Xu was not in a hurry to go to work and sat with her.
"Don't you like Wan Xi? If you don't want to get along, don't let her come over in the future. Today I went to ask you for some red dates to cook porridge, and she took the opportunity to avoid her brother and came over. I thought if I wasn't here, there would be someone to help you if you felt uncomfortable, so I agreed."
Gu Xi looked at Wang Xu, and was moved that he could actually notice her abnormality. Wang Xu's eyes were very beautiful, and it was easy to be fascinated. After thinking for a while, she decided to be honest: "It's not that I don't like her, I'm just a little envious and jealous. She has known you for a long time, and you said that you are not familiar with each other. You don't talk to others, but you talked to her more than me today."
Wang Xu was completely amused after hearing this: "It smells sour. You are trying to monopolize me. Let me tell you a secret."
Wang Xu moved closer to Gu Xi, and Gu Xi reached out and patted his shoulder: "Just talk, why are you coming closer? If anyone wants to occupy you, stop flattering yourself. What secrets are you telling me?"
Wang Xu was beaten but felt happy: "Wan Xi likes Yin Jie. Didn't you see that she didn't know what to do with her hands and feet when she saw Yin Jie?"
Gu Xi looked up into Wang Xu's eyes, wanting to confirm that he was telling the truth. When the two looked at each other, neither of them looked away. In the end, Gu Xi lost and looked away first: "Does Yin Jie like Wan Xi?"
Wang Xu saw her avoiding him, but he still looked away: "Yin Jie is not smart at all, he always treats Wan Xi as his sister.
Wan Hexing didn't know either, otherwise he would be upset. No matter how good the brothers get along, they will still look down on each other if their sister marries a good brother. "
Gu Xi smiled knowingly, thinking of those idol groups in the old videos. If her sister married one of the members, she would not like whoever she chose, and would not be able to pick either one, and would live out the rest of her life alone.
Wang Xu saw her smile, which made the sunshine even brighter: "Gu Xi, give me a chance? I want to work hard with you."
Gu Xi suddenly put away her smile, and was a little surprised by the sudden confession: "Did you hear what Wan Xi and I said?"
Wang Xu hummed.
Gu Xi also said openly: "It is really impossible for me to stay here. If you want to develop a relationship with me, you must have a plan, at least you must have the ability to survive. Most people's personalities and moods will change under adversity. I don't want us to blame each other at that time."
Wang Xu was silent for a long time and went back to his room. Gu Xi thought that what she said scared him away because he became autistic.
After a while, Wang Xu took out a passbook from the room and handed it to Gu Xi: "I have been earning and saving money since I was fifteen. At first, I went to the mountains to hunt some game and resell it. Later, I bought some farm tools and rented them out during the busy farming season. Many aunts and sisters in the village traded some small items, and I helped them sell them, and there would be a difference in the price.
My grandfather's family was originally a capitalist in Beijing. They heard the news early on and transferred and sold off a lot of their properties. Half of them were given to my uncle, and the remaining part was given to my mother and grandmother. They told outsiders that they had severed all ties with them. My mother brought these to the village, and you know what happened after that. Some things were buried in the back hill.
My original plan was to learn how to drive so that I could go out and drive a sports car, make some money, and not have to stay here anymore. But after you came, I hesitated and couldn't bear to leave. I thought of other ways to make money. "
Gu Xi listened carefully, opened the passbook, and quickly closed it, looking at Wang Xu in surprise: "You are not in your thirties this year, but you just look young, right? How did you save more than 7,000 yuan? My parents have worked for half their lives, and I guess they only have 2,000 or 3,000 yuan at most."
Gu Xi was really shocked. You know, in the 1980s, people with an annual income of 10,000 yuan were envied by others, and it’s only 1974.
Wang Xu was amused by her words: "I am 23 this year, my birthday is in January, and I will be 24 soon. In fact, if I work harder, I can make more. Catching a wild boar can make 300 or 400 yuan. I usually don't spend money and save it. I can also sell rabbits, pheasants, and sheep, and I have to share them with Wan Hexing and Yin Jie.
I basically got full work points in the fields. During the six-month driver's license internship, I went out driving a car with my master and also did some work.
You can make a lot of money by renting out farm tools. Except for the Red Star Brigade, no other villages in the surrounding area have tractors. "
Then he moved closer to Gu Xi and said in a hoarse voice, "All the things my mother left behind are for my future daughter-in-law. They are much more valuable than the money in the passbook. It's just that it's not convenient to take them out now."
Gu Xi felt that she was completely seduced by the beauty and it was not for the money. This little money would be nothing in the future and she could earn it herself.
"Why are you getting so close? Keep your distance. Did I promise you that? Don't push your luck. You still have a long period of observation to go."
Wang Xu nodded obediently and pulled the passbook: "Since you are going to take the exam, why are you holding on to the passbook so tightly? This is what I gave to my wife. I can't give it to you if you don't agree."
Gu Xi rolled her eyes and let go of her hand, but she still felt a little pain in her heart. Although it was not for the money, who doesn't love money? Seven thousand yuan is a huge sum of money, and once she has touched it, she will always be reluctant to part with it.
Wang Xu couldn't help laughing when he saw her like this. Gu Xi was quite likable like this. If it were someone else, he would have punched them away long ago.
Gu Xi remembered something again: "Since you are so rich, I was the one who was beaten and seriously injured last time, so I should take the 800 yuan."
Wang Xu deliberately replied: "Brothers, let's be clear. If you agree to be my wife, everything will be yours."
Gu Xi gritted her teeth and said, "Men's mouths are deceiving. By the way, fight less in the future, don't get physical all the time, this problem needs to be corrected, and we should talk about reason first. If you lose the fight, you have to see a doctor, and if you win, you have to pay money. You can't do this."
It was hard for Wang Xu to not do anything, so he could only try his best and quickly change the subject, thinking: "Do you want to write back to your parents? And send something back."
Speaking of family, Gu Xi became depressed again: "I don't know how they are doing now. I want to send this money and tickets back. I don't know what else I can send back. I can buy them in Shanghai."
Wang Xu thought for a moment and said, "It's still hot now. When it's cooler next month, I'll go to the mountains to hunt some rabbits and pheasants, pickle them and send them back. I'll also take you to the mountains to have a look, and we can send back the vegetables we grow ourselves."
Gu Xi immediately thought: "Help me make a place in the yard to grow vegetables. We can't always eat other people's food. Every household is short of food. We should be self-sufficient. I can also send some back to my parents."
Wang Xu nodded and agreed: "I will help you to enclose a circle of land and plant it when I come back in the evening. If you want seeds, tell me what you want and I will buy them for you."
"It's up to you. I eat all kinds of vegetables. You can buy some simple ones."
Wang Xu had a premonition that this kind of cooking job would eventually fall on his shoulders. Alas, he had to pamper the wife he was looking for, so now was the time to show off.
