Chapter 267 How Do I Know
Chapter 267 How Do I Know
It took five days to reclaim the wasteland. During this period, Liu Zhushan, Uncle Wang and Village Chief Gu came to help plow the paddy fields.
Every household began to work in the fields. The rice seeds and seedlings had already been sown, and they were just waiting to be transplanted when the seedlings grew mature.
Xu Yuan walked out of the room where the tablets were placed and collected his thoughts. The death anniversaries of the two deceased people, Xu's father and Xu's mother, were only a few days apart, and happened to be on these days.
Many people were young, and after arriving in Hsinchu Village, although they still cried secretly at night, the boy was strong, and Xu Yuan and Xu Zhi never mentioned the matter in front of him.
Some things just need time to slowly get over them, and you'll be fine once you get used to them.
"Sister, I miss my parents." Xu Zhi walked out of the house with red eyes and looked towards the sky.
Xu Yuan didn’t know how to comfort people, so he could only pat Xu Zhi on the shoulder, stand there for a while, and leave silently.
After pushing open many doors of the rooms, I saw a bulge on the bed and low sobbing sounds came from under the quilt.
Xu Yuan sat on the edge of the bed, patted the little figure under the quilt, gently pulled the quilt open, revealing a little head.
Many wiped their tears, their eyes reddened, sat up, and grabbed Xuyuan's sleeve.
"Sister, I miss my parents."
"Ah."
Xu Yuan didn’t say anything, but just silently patted everyone on the back.
After comforting her a lot, Xuyuan walked out of the room and found Guozi sitting in the yard, silently cutting grass leaves.
He went into the utility room, dragged out an empty basket and placed it next to the fruit.
"Miss."
"what happened?"
"It seems like everyone is in a bad mood today. Xiaoduo even secretly hid under the covers and cried."
"You've already guessed it. It's okay, they will be fine in a few days."
"Ah."
……
Lin'an Academy
"Qinghan, do you want to go find my brother?"
This was after he finished the county exam. Li Junyong hesitated again and again, still thinking, and for the first time he mustered up the courage and asked Gu Qinghan nervously.
"You finally asked." Gu Qinghan saw that Li Junyong had been hesitating, so he finally spoke.
"Brother Guang?"
Feng Juesheng passed by Li Junyong and inadvertently heard the conversation between the two. He was a little surprised and spoke quickly.
"You scared me! What's wrong with you? Why are you eavesdropping on our conversation?"
"Did I want to eavesdrop? It's my fault that my ears are too sharp." Feng Juesheng spread his hands and said helplessly.
"What's going on? Why is your brother here?"
"How should I know? Ask Qinghan." Li Junyong shook his head and threw the question to Gu Qinghan.
Two pairs of puzzled eyes looked at Gu Qinghan who was standing aside.
Feeling the burning gaze, Gu Qinghan spoke reluctantly.
"Actually, I want to know too. Meeting Brother Guang was purely accidental, and I don't have time to ask him a few questions."
"And he doesn't remember things."
"What are you talking about?" Lin Zhian came up from behind, followed by Wu Mingshi.
"Nothing, just talking about when it would be a good time to go back. It's almost time to plant the rice at home, and I want to go back and help."
Li Junyong spoke up immediately and found an excuse to get away with it.
"Come on, you don't have time to go back. After the county exam results are out, the provincial exam will almost begin. We may have to hurry to the North City." Lin Zhian reminded.
"Yeah, there's this one." Li Junyong reacted and curled his lips casually, "Forget it, I don't have the confidence myself to guarantee that I can pass."
"Why don't you have confidence in yourself? Relax." Wu Mingshi walked over and patted Li Junyong on the shoulder.
"Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. Junyong and I have important things to do. We'll leave first." After saying this, Gu Qinghan pulled Li Junyong out the door.
The three of them were left staring at each other. Feng Juesheng was not familiar with these two people, so he nodded, turned and left.
"Let's go. Since they have things to do, let's go eat first and not wait for them." Wu Mingshi pulled Lin Zhian towards the cafeteria.
……
"How long do we have to wait here?" Li Junyong and Gu Qinghan were sitting at a noodle stall. Li Junyong finished the last mouthful of noodle soup in the bowl, put it on the table, and stood up to look at the crowd outside.
"Don't look at it, it's not here."
"Eat quickly, let's go quickly." Li Junyong looked at Gu Qinghan who was still eating noodles slowly and urged him.
"No hurries?"
Gu Qinghan finished the last mouthful of noodle soup, put down the bowl, placed the silver on the table, then stood up and left.
When Li Junyong saw the remaining silver on the table, he was about to raise his hand but paused, then put it away and followed Gu Qinghan's footsteps.
Still good brothers.
"Qinghan, wait for me, why are you walking so fast?"
Li Junyong raised his hand and put his arm around Gu Qinghan's shoulders, and said in a clear voice, "Qinghan, why are you so polite? Don't forget that I am a rich man now."
After getting the golden lantern, I was afraid of being unsafe, so I hid here and there that night. I felt like there were countless pairs of eyes staring at me, even though they were not behind me.
Carrying precious objects with them, the whole family was in a state of panic that night. They didn't sleep much, fearing that when they woke up, it was all a dream.
Early the next morning, he took the lantern to the pawnshop and pawned it for 100 taels.
Li Dali, who had never seen so much silver in his life, almost fainted. Li Junyong calmed himself down, and with trembling hands, he deposited the money into the bank immediately.
Now I don't have to worry about a few pieces of silver.
"I get it, rich man, just invite me back next time." Gu Qinghan let go of Li Junyong's hand.
"Miss, isn't that Mr. Gu?" Xiao Tao lifted the curtain and looked at the two people with extraordinary temperament in front of her.
Wu Shiya was still in a daze, but when she heard the familiar name, she came back to her senses and looked in the direction Xiaotao was pointing. She looked around, but there was no sign of him.
"Xiao Tao, stop talking nonsense." Wu Shiya retracted her gaze and closed her eyes.
Xiao Tao curled her lips, she indeed saw it and she was not wrong.
"How long will it take to get to my aunt's place? We have to hurry, otherwise we will miss the time."
"Yes, ma'am."
Xiao Tao also knew that she had spoken out of turn and really shouldn't have spoken at this juncture.
……
"Are you sure you're here?"
"Qinghan, you must have come to the wrong place."
"Quick, let's get out of here, is this a place we can get through?"
"Aren't you afraid of being caught and charged with trespassing?"
Li Junyong looked at the place in front of him. The stone slabs he was standing on were a little hot, so he pulled Gu Qinghan over and questioned him.
The noise made Gu Qinghan's head hurt. He rubbed his forehead and said, "Shut up."
There was nothing wrong in the first place. Were you afraid that the people inside couldn't hear his series of exclamations?
Li Junyong was yelled at in a low voice and immediately reacted and closed his mouth.
"I'm so excited, please forgive me."
