Chapter 315 What do you like about him?
Ge Xubai's expression became more serious. "That's wrong. I have no feelings for that girl, so I naturally can't accept this thing. If I accept it, wouldn't it just give her unnecessary fantasies? That would be harmful to her."
Upon hearing this, Ye Hanyi put away the joking smile on his face.
"What you said does make some sense."
Ge Xubai straightened his back and said, "I am not the kind of person who would casually provoke girls and be irresponsible to others."
Seeing this, Ye Hanyi felt inexplicably happier.
Ge Xubai added, "I absolutely cannot accept this food box. If you want it, you can take it, but please return it to the girl after you finish eating. Life is not easy for ordinary people. This food box is already a considerable amount of wealth for them."
This is one of them.
Second, Ge Xubai also has his own selfish motives.
Asking Ye Hanyi to return the lunch box would also indirectly show his attitude to the girl, and would inadvertently cause others to misunderstand his relationship with Ye Hanyi.
Ye Hanyi looked at him with a half-smile, "Why, are you using me as a shield?"
Ge Xubai also looked at the other party, "I wonder if Miss Ye would be willing to do me a small favor?"
Without waiting for Ye Hanyi to speak, he continued, "Just consider it as compensation for you accidentally hurting me."
After hearing this, Ye Hanyi had no way to refuse.
She agreed.
There were only some ordinary food in the food box, but it was already a rare delicacy in ordinary people's homes today.
Ye Hanyi finished his meal in a few bites, bought a few more exquisite pastries, put them in a lunch box, and carried it to the girl's house.
The girl was hiding in her room crying secretly, but when she heard someone was looking for her, she came out with red eyes.
When he saw Ye Hanyi and the food box in her hand, he immediately understood something and a sour feeling welled up in his heart.
Compared with this extraordinary lady in front of me, I am indeed not even close to her at all. I am just daydreaming.
Rumors about her and Ge Xubai quickly spread in the army and even reached Xiao Yanci's ears.
He called Ye Hanyi over to ask about it. Ye Hanyi rolled his eyes and asked instead of answering, "Cousin, what do you think of him?"
Xiao Yanci immediately sat up straight, his eyes moving back and forth across her face.
"Are you interested in him?"
Ye Hanyi nodded, his eyes brightening.
Xiao Yanci didn't expect her to admit it so readily, and his expression looked a little strange for a moment.
"What do you like about him?"
Ye Hanyi: "Good kung fu, good figure, and good looks."
Xiao Yanci: "...No, how do you know if he has a good figure?"
Ye Hanyi waved his hand, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, I like him in every way. He's much better than those young masters in the capital who can't even carry anything."
Xiao Yanci also had some admiration for Ge Xubai.
However, if he were asked to be his cousin's husband, Xiao Yanci would start to be picky.
"What kind of person is he to be worthy of you?"
Ye Hanyi was unhappy. "What's wrong with his identity? Military commanders don't care about their backgrounds. Everything is judged by their military achievements."
Xiao Yanci looked at her expression and couldn't help but sigh, "You're already protecting her when things haven't even started yet. If he doesn't care about you, wouldn't you be looking for death?"
"Then you underestimate me. If he had no interest in me, I wouldn't have been so persistent. Three-legged frogs are hard to find, but two-legged men are everywhere."
Marriage is a bond of friendship between two families, not a bond of enmity.
Even if Ge Xubai suits her taste, she still cannot live without him.
Seeing that she looked relaxed and didn't rush into it, Xiao Yanci felt a little relieved.
"Marriage is a serious matter, and it's up to the parents and the matchmaker to decide. Even if you really like the person, you still have to inform your uncle and aunt first."
Ye Hanyi said firmly, "My parents will definitely not object. They said that as long as I like it, it's fine."
Moreover, Ge Xubai is Gu Qishan's apprentice, and his character and talent are guaranteed by Gu Qishan, so they will not object.
Xiao Yanci tutted his words, "Look at how worthless you are."
I'm afraid she can't wait to get married.
Ye Hanyi retorted, "Some people don't even look at themselves in the mirror to see who is worth less. That sachet Zhiran gave you, it's been marinated, right? You treat it like a treasure and don't even want to wash it. And you still have the nerve to ask for someone's purse. Tsk, how shameless."
Lu Zhiran has been embroidering purses recently. Ye Hanyi saw it twice and asked casually. Only then did she find out. She almost got so angry at that time.
Today, I finally found an opportunity to make fun of him.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yanci was so shameless that not only was he not laughed at, but he even looked smug.
"Can you be the same as us? We are a formally married couple, with a legal status."
Ye Hanyi: "You also know that we are an 'unmarried' couple? How can we have the status of being unmarried?"
The two cousins started bickering while talking, but in the end neither of them said anything to the other.
The efficiency of Hengrui Trading Company was higher than everyone imagined. It took less than ten days to transport a large batch of potatoes and also taught people how to grow potatoes.
Luo Guanlan wanted to introduce them to Xiao Yanci so that Hengrui Commercial Bank could have the opportunity to make meritorious service, but the other party declined.
Luo Guanlan took over Yangyu. When reporting to Xiao Yanci, he did not hide anything and truthfully told him about the achievements of Hengrui Trading Company. Xiao Yanci secretly took note of it.
When planting potatoes, you can cut them into small pieces and wait for the wounds on the surface to dry before planting them.
In this way, one potato can be divided into several, and there is no need to worry about not having enough potatoes.
After the potato plants were planted, Gu Qishan began to publicize the matter and arrange the sowing.
When it comes to unknown things, everyone will have many doubts and concerns.
Xiao Yanci took the initiative and first gave each household a few potatoes and asked them to go home and cook them.
Once they tasted potatoes themselves and knew that they were a good thing, they would naturally be willing to try growing them.
Every household received potatoes, took them home with some doubts and cooked them.
It is very simple to eat potatoes. Just throw them into the fire and roast them until they are cooked.
Everyone who tried the roasted potatoes was amazed by the soft and glutinous texture. One potato was very filling.
After this experiment, everyone no longer had any doubts and immediately began to actively learn how to grow potatoes. Soon, the people of the entire Xiping City began to work in full swing.
The soil here is poor and the climate is dry. No one can guarantee whether the potatoes can survive and how much they can yield if they survive.
If the potatoes did not survive in the end, the people would probably become resentful and the court would punish them. Gu Qishan was willing to take these risks.
What if it succeeds?
If the potato harvest is good, the people will be able to avoid famine and have some hope for the future.
The people’s expectations are actually very simple. They just want peace and prosperity and for them to have enough food and clothing.
