Chapter 65: Treasure Hunting in the Mountains
"Dad, you don't know this. Gu Jingtai told me that he will open a restaurant chain in the future and register a company."
After Sheng Shiwu finished speaking, he picked up his spicy strips and walked away with a proud and confident look.
Father Sheng: ...
He stared at his youngest son's back in a trance. The Gu family was indeed not simple! He just got the news this afternoon that the imperial capital had allowed private business and the registration of companies by individuals.
The Su family did not call, and Mr. Gu and his son did not go out. It was obvious that the Gu family had known about it for a long time and had made plans.
Father Sheng was shocked in the study. How could he know that all these were instilled by Gu Jiaojiao to her second brother.
The next morning.
Gu Jiaojiao was awakened by a knock on the door. "Who is it?" Disturbing her sweet dream! "Jiaojiao, I'll go open the door." The mellow and deep voice was a bit confused and a bit happy.
She glanced at Su Shuoci beside her, who had just opened his confused eyes and had obviously just woken up.
"Hmm~"
I just woke up and don’t want to move. Anyway, I’m a man with a disabled body but a strong mind.
Su Shuoci opened the door a crack, not intending to let anyone in: "What's the matter so early?"
"Is it still early? It's already half past seven." Song Zijie asked in disbelief.
Seeing that the man was not going to speak again, he could only continue: "The farm management has arranged breakfast, and we have been waiting for you for a while."
"Go tell my father-in-law to let them eat first, and we'll go over after we wash up."
After saying that, he closed the door with a bang.
Song Zijie was so angry that he punched the door several times, thinking that when he gets better, he will find a girl to marry.
The farm's breakfast today was very sumptuous, and it was served to entertain Mr. Gu and his entourage, just like a distinguished guest.
Thick, fragrant and soft millet porridge, pickled cucumber strips, steamed dumplings and fried dough sticks bought from outside, boiled eggs, etc.
Mr. Gu wanted to wait for his beloved daughter and son-in-law to eat together, and the accompanying administrator did not dare to rush them.
That's why Song Zijie volunteered to knock on the door. When he came back, Su Shuoci and his wife had also arrived.
"Dad, Uncle Geng, I'm so sorry, we'll get up in the evening, you can eat first."
"It's okay. Jiaojiao was too tired from driving yesterday. It's good for her to get some more sleep." Father Gu said kindly.
He simply thought that his daughter was tired, and because he felt that his son-in-law was paralyzed on one side, he did not think of any other negative aspects at all.
"snort!"
Song Zijie glanced at Su Shuoci and felt that the man had no self-control and did not understand that his young wife was tired from driving.
In fact, it was Song Zijie who misunderstood. The couple just kissed each other.
But Su Shuoci would not explain. Even holding his wife's hand, he was very excited.
What's more, they kissed last night when his wife was awake, which made him feel full of strength in his body.
His wife is completely his and will never leave him. This is the advantage of a man with a imagination!
He filled a bowl of porridge and handed it to Gu Jiaojiao affectionately: "Wife, have some porridge, a steamed bun, and your favorite fried dough sticks..."
Father Gu saw his son-in-law diligently helping his daughter to pick up things here and there. Although he also wanted to help his daughter, he was still very happy to see his son-in-law being considerate.
So he picked up a steamed bun and gave it to his friend, "Ruixian, eat more."
"Thank you Cheng Zhou, you should eat more too." Geng Ruixian didn't know that Gu's father ate very well at Su's house.
He slept soundly last night, so he woke up this morning feeling much better.
He thought it was the effect of the all-purpose malted milk, so he made a cup and drank it immediately after waking up in the morning.
It didn’t have the same aroma as last night’s malted milk, nor was it as sweet. The malted milk in his room was given to him by the farm manager last night.
Gu Jiaojiao is not picky about food. She will eat whatever the man puts in her mouth. The steamed dumplings these days are also very delicious.
In particular, the fried dough sticks are big and thick, and meaty. When you take a bite, they are soft and delicious, unlike the fried dough sticks of later generations which are fried dry and crispy.
Song Zijie looked at this and then that, and decided to pick some for himself! The farm manager was very considerate and used the serving chopsticks to pick up a steamed bun for Song Zijie: "Comrade Song, please eat more."
"Thank you, just order whatever you want, don't be polite." Song Zijie was in a much better mood, and he also used a serving chopstick to serve food to Gu's father and others.
"Uncle Gu, Uncle Geng, please eat more." He didn't dare to give the food to Gu Jiaojiao.
Seeing Su Shuoci's look like a big bad wolf protecting his cub, he didn't dare to provoke the couple.
After breakfast, Gu's father went to clean up their house. In fact, there was nothing there, just a few sets of torn clothes.
Gu Jiaojiao couldn't help but burst into tears when she saw that her father's family had been living in such an environment.
The shabby house doesn't even have a decent piece of furniture, let alone any treasures.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
No wonder her grandfather said that some antiques were buried under the trees on the back hill of the farm! Geng Ruixian was also very poor. He had a few pots of wild flowers and weeds, and Gu Jiaojiao said she could put them in the trunk and take them away for him.
"Uncle Geng likes flowers and plants. Let's go to the back mountain and dig some to bring back to Qingcheng."
"You guys go ahead and do your work. Comrade Li, help my friend move these pots of flowers and plants to the trunk of the car. My daughter likes wild vegetables. Let's go to the back mountain to take a look."
Su Shuoci asked the farm manager to take him to see the donkey so that he could buy one, as he couldn't go up the mountain in his wheelchair.
He also knows that his wife has important things to do, so he usually sticks to her, but he is not the kind of person who would make trouble.
Gu Jiaojiao and her father walked side by side, each carrying a hoe and a bamboo basket.
Su Shuoci watched them go far away and told her to come back early.
"Let's go and pick out the donkey. Don't wait for the sister-in-law to come back. We haven't picked out the one yet."
"Let's go."
There are no trees or weeds at the foot of the back mountain. They have all been cut down and used as firewood for cooking.
The only healthy people in this group are Gu Jiaojiao and her daughter, but compared to others, they are also very weak, so the administrator did not suspect their purpose at all.
"Dad, do you remember the exact location?"
"Remember, it's just a little ahead. Let's dig it quickly and then go back."
"Dad, take your time digging. I'll look around to see if there are any special herbs."
"Jiaojiao, be careful. If you go any deeper, there might be wild boars there."
"Dad, don't worry. Hehe, my daughter is so weak, how could she possibly go into the mountains?"
There were wild boars, that was great. In her previous life, she had hunted leopards in Africa! Wild boars were nothing. It would be the best if she could meet one. So Gu Jiaojiao left her father's sight and walked quickly into the mountains.
She fought for everything she wanted and finally got it. There is no such thing as something good that can be obtained without hard work in this world.
Along the way, they actually saw some precious medicinal herbs from later generations, and Gu Jiaojiao carefully transplanted them into the space.
Having saved Geng Ruixian's life yesterday, there was one more cubic meter of black soil in the space, which made Gu Jiaojiao feel like she was injected with chicken blood.
Maybe it was because she left too fast, or maybe it was because she wanted to find more precious medicinal herbs.
She didn't pay attention to the road under her feet. She only felt a "click" sound behind her, and then she fell forward...
