Chapter 102 Exchange (Update)
A few days later, Gu Lanting sent another letter.
He was in the army, and the things he could do were relatively simple, but in the letter he specifically asked her why she didn't write to him, and whether she didn't receive his letter.
Yuan Xiao laughed and picked up a pen to write him a letter.
She talked about some recent events, and wrote several pages densely.
After sending the letter, she was about to go back, but she met Pei Yun on the way.
Pei Yun hadn't come to find her troubles since the last time in the hospital.
Yuan Xiao knew that a big part of the reason was because of Gu Lanting.
But Pei Yun was in the city, so why did he come to Qushui County?
Yuan Xiao didn't have time to think about it, and she saw Pei Yun rushing towards her, with anger on his face.
She felt a little regretful in her heart. She should have just left.
"You evil person!" Pei Yun came up and scolded.
"What have I done to you?"
Pei Yun was angry and pointed her finger directly at her, "How dare you say that my father's affairs have nothing to do with you?"
Yuan Xiao slapped her hand away, raised his eyebrows, and said arrogantly: "Since you know it has something to do with me, you still dare to provoke me?"
Gu Lanting only mentioned to her that Pei Wenzhan had been resolved, but did not say how Pei Wenzhan was doing.
Pei Yun heard this, and fear appeared in her eyes.
Pei Wenzhan specifically told her not to provoke Yuan Xiao again, but seeing him face to face, how could she swallow this breath!
"You evildoer! Do you think you can be with Brother Lan Ting just because you are a country girl? You are dreaming! You are not worthy of him at all!"
After saying that, she felt that what she said made sense, and continued: "Have you been to the capital? Do you know the status of the Gu family in the capital? Brother Lan Ting has a promising future. He is a dragon among men. Many young ladies from aristocratic families want to marry him. You are worthy of him!"
Yuan Xiao's heart was calm.
She was just a boyfriend of Gu Lan Ting. When did she say that she must marry him?
She has always been a person who puts her own happiness first. If the happiness of being with Gu Lan Ting cannot withstand the obstacles of reality, then they will break up.
She glanced at Pei Yun and said sarcastically: "I am not worthy, so are you?"
Pei Yun was choked by her words and his face turned ashen, and his neck felt like it was being strangled.
She was just the daughter of a branch of the Pei family, so the Gu family naturally wouldn't look down on her!
Yuan Xiao took advantage of her inaction and turned away.
She had just bought a small basket of chestnuts on the black market, just in time to stew a chestnut chicken and make a chestnut cake.
When Yuan Xiao got home and opened the door, she saw Qin Qin holding her little rabbit and playing.
Seeing Yuan Xiao coming back, she dropped the vegetables and ran over.
She stretched out her hand to Yuan Xiao and said in a baby voice, "Candy!"
Yuan Xiao picked her up and asked her to open her mouth, "We agreed not to eat candy these few days."
Qin Qin stretched out four fingers, "Three days."
She hadn't eaten candy for three days.
Yuan Xiao was amused and pressed down one of her short fat fingers, "Baby, this is three."
Qin Qin's light eyebrows were pulled together, and she stubbornly stretched out four fingers, thinking that this was three.
Yuan Xiao didn't bother with her and put her down.
She was a little heavier now, and Yuan Xiao could hardly hold her.
The little rabbit was fed so well that its fur was bright and it was growing very fast.
Yuan Xiao seemed to see a plate of rabbit meat and couldn't help saying, "It's almost ready to eat."
Qin Qin seemed to sense Yuan Xiao's threat to the little rabbits. She hugged a little rabbit and looked at her defensively, "No!"
Yuan Xiao didn't really want to eat the rabbits. He pinched her fat face and said, "Okay, I won't eat them! When the rabbits grow up, I'll buy you big rabbits to breed and give birth to little rabbits. I'll buy you chickens, so that we Qin Qin can become a big breeder."
Zhong Li, who was standing by, heard this and his eyebrows moved slightly, his eyes fell on the rabbits.
Zhong Yang was heartless and kept muttering that he also wanted to become a big breeder.
Yuan Xiao let them play by themselves and went back to his room.
Qin Qin squatted on the ground and continued to feed the rabbits. Suddenly, she heard the door open again.
She twisted her body and turned around. It was He Changlin.
He Changlin had met her before. Last time, he gave her White Rabbit candy.
She supported her little body and stood up, whispering "Uncle".
He Changlin was touched by the word "Uncle". He walked over to hug her and took out a few candies from his pocket, "Give them to the baby. Where's sister?"
Zhong Yang opened his mouth, revealing his gap teeth, "Uncle, sister is in the room."
He Changlin gave him and Zhong Li a few candies and called inside, "Yuan Xiao!"
Yuan Xiao came out of the room, "Uncle He, why are you here?"
He Changlin sat down on the stone bench, "I have something to discuss with you."
Yuan Xiao put the things in his hand back in the room, came out and got the teapot to make tea.
"Is there any progress on the road construction?"
He Changlin shook his head, paused, and nodded, "It can be considered progress."
"I am shameless to say this, I came here to discuss something with you..."
Yuan Xiao paused and smiled, "You said it, I dare not say that I can agree to everything, but at least we can discuss it."
"Your insect repellent powder." He Changlin said seriously.
"Road construction is a big project and requires a lot of funds. If the formula of insect repellent powder can be handed over to the country for agricultural research, we will have the chips to discuss road construction."
Yuan Xiao said that he was not hesitant, but it was a lie. Insect repellent powder is very popular in the market and is very popular.
"But I can guarantee that, except for agriculture, the insect powder will not appear on the market in any other way, and the formula will not be circulated. Apart from the country, you have the only one here."
After that, He Changlin still felt that it was not enough, and continued: "I have applied for the textile factory you said you wanted to open last time. The location is an hour away from here, a must-go place for buses, and the road is easy to travel, so the transportation is convenient. In the future, we will try our best to make things convenient for you in your business."
Yuan Xiao chuckled, her eyes clear and bright, "Uncle He, wait a minute."
She walked into the room and came out with an envelope in her hand.
"This is the formula for insect repellent powder."
She was so straightforward that He Changlin felt guilty.
"You... don't want to think about it again?"
Yuan Xiao waved his hands, his fair face seemed to be stained with a layer of light, "Only when things are used to their full potential can their value be realized."
He Changlin nodded and smiled bitterly, "I have lived for more than 30 years, but I am not as clear-sighted as a little girl like you."
He folded the envelope and put it in his pocket.
Then he took out a plastic bottle from another pocket, "Your aunt told me that you gave this to her?"
Even without opening the bottle cap, Yuan Xiao could smell the rose scent.
"Yes, my aunt said that her face was dry due to the cold weather, so I gave it to her to try."
He Changlin nodded, "There is a chemical plant in Langshi. If you can cooperate with them on this thing, that is also a way."
Yuan Xiao is a little money-grubber, and he gets excited when he hears about money.
"I'll write you a letter of introduction tomorrow, and you can go to the chemical plant and talk to their director."
Yuan Xiao nodded repeatedly. She just got the first place in the county last time, so it's not a problem to take a few days off, and she can also go to see Gu Lanting.
