Chapter 55

Shopkeeper He drank tea on the second floor and looked at the long dragon below comfortably, feeling as if he was watching silver falling from the sky.

Suddenly he saw a familiar little figure, he stood up and ran out.

That movement was so big that it overturned the chair behind it!

Where is there a little bit of scholarly elegance and style?

Xing Nong glanced at the long queue, and decided to go to the restaurant first and come back later.

Just as she was about to turn around and leave, one hand grabbed her wrist excitedly, and said tightly, "You girl is here! Do you know that I've missed you to death these two days?"

Xing Nong: "."

People in line: "."

Everyone glanced at Xing Nong, then at Shopkeeper He, with ambiguous eyes.

Shopkeeper He noticed his gaffe, and said to the people in line: "It's not what you think! This is my sister! Sister! Do you know?"

After speaking, he dragged Xing Nong away in a hurry.

Everyone's eyes are becoming more and more ambiguous!

Shopkeeper He took Xing Nong to her exclusive study room, and while rubbing ink, he told how he had worked so hard to print the books these days, and how these books sold well.

After finishing speaking, he spread out the blank manuscript and put the pen into her hand: "Girl, the engraving panels of the first story book will be carved soon, and we can prepare to engrave the second book. Thank you for your hard work!"

Hoshino put the pen on his left hand and began to write.

Shopkeeper He ordered someone to bring in some food, and then went to the next door.

An hour later, he reckoned that Xing Nong was about to finish writing, so he walked over.

Indeed, Xing Nong was almost finished writing, and after writing dozens of characters, Xing Nong put down his pen.

Shopkeeper He gave Xing Nong a purse, and the two walked out of the study together.

"When will you come next time?"

"do not know."

"As soon as possible, don't make me wait too long!" Shopkeeper He felt a headache when he thought of the uncertain time of this girl's arrival.

Don't you know that you have to strike while the iron is hot and make money without delay?
The person who was at the end of the line just now had just finished paying the deposit and came in to borrow a hut in the backyard. Then he happened to see the two coming out of the house together. It's ambiguous!

Shopkeeper He: "..."

Xing Nong: "..."

She should wear men's clothes next time!

"Farewell!" Xing Nong nodded to Shopkeeper He.

Shopkeeper He waved his hand: Hurry up!

I am afraid that he will lose his wisdom for the rest of his life!

After leaving the study, Xing Nong went to the restaurant.

Some dilapidated buildings are being demolished in the backyard of the restaurant and planned to be rebuilt.

Shen Hanyu was not there.

Xing Nong left a new address for the mistress last time and left.

Then she went to the wood shop and bought a set of tables and chairs for the main hall, and bought a bed, a wardrobe and a desk for each room. It also cost seven taels of silver.

The furniture was packaged and delivered, and Xing Nong took advantage of the loading time to buy some quilts and curtains, which cost another two taels!

The money I just earned is almost spent!
Xing Nong got on the delivery mule cart and went home together.

Because the house is at the end of Taohua Village, Xing Nong asked people to take a detour and enter the village from a riverside path leading to the town. Although it was a bit farther, it didn't have to pass through the village.

It was dusk at this time, and children from every household in the village ran out to play. So many mule carts entered the village to avoid the children, and they would only walk more slowly.

As the mule cart was walking along the path by the river, Xing Nong saw a familiar figure standing in the river from afar, washing his face and hair vigorously.

Xing Nong said to the driver: "Wait a moment."

The mule cart stopped, and she jumped out of the mule cart and ran to the river: "Grandma."

When Gu Shi heard this, she was startled, squatted down quickly, submerged her whole body in the river, and rubbed away the dirt on her body vigorously. When Xing Nong approached, she smiled and said: "Xing Nong, why are you here? ? Grandma saw a fish here just now, and thought of going down to the river to catch a fish and go back to make soup, haha"

Even though Gu's whole body was squatting in the water, Xing Nong still saw that Gu's clothes were covered with pig manure.

She went straight down the river and pulled Mrs. Gu up, with a gloomy expression on her face: "What's going on?"

Mrs. Gu smiled: "It's nothing, just accidentally fell in the pigsty while working. You also know that grandma works for a family in the town who sells animals. Well, our family is not buying land anymore. Very happy today."

Xing Nong's eyes fell on Gu's hair, the pig manure hanging on it had not been completely cleaned.

This wasn't an accidental wrestling, it was someone throwing pig dung all over her!
"Grandma." Xing Nong interrupted her, looking at her for a moment, "You don't have to explain other people's mistakes."

Under the gaze of the child who seemed to be able to see everything, Mrs. Gu couldn't help but tell the truth.

In the past ten years or so, she has found many jobs, but none of them last long. She will be driven away after half a month or a few days. This job of washing pigpens, stables, and cattle pens is the longest. Just tired and dirty.

This job was introduced by Yao Shi, and the owner seems to be Yao Shi's natal cousin.

It's just that I had a falling out with Da Fang recently, and the work I did was several times more.

I bought a field yesterday, and the children kept telling her to quit her job and go home to take care of those fields. There were already crops in the fields, and they really needed to be taken care of.So when she saw her boss this afternoon, she proposed to resign. She didn't expect him to angrily mention that she had just cleaned out a dustpan of pig manure and threw it on her body.

"Anyway, I won't do it tomorrow, so don't go to them. I've already poured it back! He knows that the eldest son of the Shen family has been fined more than 1 taels."

Xing Nong listened to Gu Shi's words in silence, and quickly and gently helped Gu Shi wash off the filth on his body.

At this time, the driver of the mule cart shouted loudly: "Miss, is it okay? We can take the woman home by the way."

"Okay." Xing Nong accelerated his speed.

Only then did Gu discover several mule carts parked by the side of the road, "What are those?"

"I bought some furniture."

Gu Shi: "..."

Where did you get the money to buy a few carts of furniture?Forget it, she won't ask!
After Xing Nong helped Mrs. Gu clean up, he immediately carried her into the mule cart and wrapped her in a newly bought thin quilt.

Gu Shi: "."

Drivers: "..."

That night.

Xing Nong sneaked into the Shen family's mansion again, picked up Ye Xiang from Gong's room, and splashed it on the couple who returned to the village in the evening to discuss with Shen Wanshan how to raise money and solve the problem of Li's imprisonment.

There was a scream of demolition from the room, Xing Nong had already jumped out of the window neatly, then climbed over the wall and rushed to the town!
A quarter of an hour later, there was also a scream of tearing down the sky from a certain family in the town.

When Xing Nong returned to the village, the Shen family mansion was brightly lit.

Gu Shi was woken up.

She looked at Xing Nong who came in from the outside and breathed a sigh of relief: "Where did you go?"

Xing Nong: "Pour Ye Xiang."

Gu Shi: "."
