Chapter 120 "Yes, yes
He pointed to two large rocks on the side of the road and motioned for them to sit over there. How could Gu Wan feel comfortable doing that? Others were helping to carry things, so how could she sit there herself?
"Please sit down. We have just had a rest."
"Yes, yes, we are not tired." I was just a little thirsty. I should have brought water earlier.
Xu Wenyin's eyes suddenly lit up. She walked in front of Lin Huai and motioned him to squat down a little. Although Lin Huai didn't know what she wanted to do.
But she still did as she was told. Xu Wenyin wanted to drink some water, but she didn't bring any when she came here because she thought it was close. Who would have thought that when she came back, she would be hot and tired, and her throat was about to smoke.
Although they didn't bring any water, they happened to have bought some oranges, which they could eat to quench their thirst.
She rummaged in the backpack for a while and finally found the oranges she had bought. She took them out and gave one to everyone.
"Everyone, take a break. We have come such a long way and it is so hot. Come and taste this orange. It is very sweet, right, Gu Zhiqing?"
Gu Wan didn't expect Xu Wenyin to talk about her. She was stunned for a moment, nodded, but did not touch the orange in her hand.
Seeing that Gu Wan agreed, Xu Wenyin happily began to share with the two how they bought the oranges.
"You don't know, this orange is really delicious. I've been out with Gu Zhiqing a few times, and this is the first time I saw her like one so much. She bought ten kilograms at once, so I followed her and bought ten kilograms too."
No wonder the backpack is so heavy, Lin Huai and Zhao Congyi thought.
Zhao Cong's long crow feathers hid the emotions in his eyes, but his eyeballs moved and looked at the unattractive orange in his hand.
The slender jade-like hands began to peel the orange slowly and leisurely. The graceful movements did not seem like a trivial thing like peeling an orange, but rather like doing something very elegant.
Several people were either squatting or sitting on the side of the road. The road leading into the village was lined with big trees on both sides. The treetops were so tall that they directly blocked the sunlight on the entire road.
It is very comfortable to walk here during the day.
After eating an orange, Gu Wan didn’t want to eat it anymore. There was nothing she could do. Although oranges were delicious, peeling them would make her hands sticky. There was no water here, so she couldn’t wash them.
This made her really unbearable, so she might as well wait until she got back to eat.
"Let's go. Doctor Fang's meal will probably be ready soon. Let's rest when we get back."
As he spoke, Zhao Congyi casually placed the peeled orange in Gu Wan's hand, then turned around, picked up the backpack beside him, put it on his back, walked forward a few steps, and looked at Lin Huai.
His casual action was as simple as just placing an orange on a nearby table.
Gu Wan was originally sitting on a big rock, with one hand on her knee and the other hand folded on top of that hand, but the palm was facing upwards.
Because she had just peeled an orange and there was still juice from the peel on her hands, and she had nothing to clean them with, so she felt very uncomfortable and thought of drying them like this.
However, she didn't expect that Zhao Cong, who was sitting not far in front of her, suddenly stood up and put the peeled orange in her palm.
There was something placed in her palm, and she instinctively grasped it. The orange in her hand was peeled very cleanly, even the peel was removed.
She opened her mouth and wanted to ask what Zhao Congyi meant, but saw that Zhao Congyi didn't even look at her.
If the orange had not been still in her palm at this moment, Gu Wan would have thought it was an illusion.
Zhao Congyi has already walked far away. Would it be bad if I went over to ask him?
Just at this time Xu Wenyin also came over, and seeing Gu Wan holding a peeled orange in her hand, she asked curiously.
"Hey, Gu Zhiqing, why don't you eat your oranges?"
Xu Wenyin looked at Gu Wan who was holding a peeled orange in a daze and couldn't help but ask curiously. She didn't know whether the two people in front of her were too far away to hear her or were deliberately ignoring her.
In short, I didn't look back, but just walked not far or near.
Gu Wan retracted her gaze, cut the orange in half, and handed half to Xu Wenyin. "No, I wanted to eat it with you."
"Wow, Gu Zhiqing you are so nice, I wish you were a man, you are so considerate!"
Lin Huai, who was walking in front, staggered and looked at Zhao Congyi, who was walking beside him, with a complicated expression, but his expression was as indifferent as usual, and there was really nothing special about it.
After getting on the path leading into the village, the village is not far away.
The four of them soon arrived at the house that Gu Wan rented. They placed all the things they bought in the main room, except for the oranges and the things that helped Zhao Cong.
"Two pounds of oranges, a bar of soap, and a pound of sugar cakes, is that enough?"
Gu Wan took out the things that Zhao Cong had brought and handed them to him one by one in front of everyone.
Zhao Congyi took it and nodded: "Very good, is the money enough?"
"That's enough. There's still plenty left. Can I give you the extra money?"
"No need." Gu Wan looked up at him in surprise. Before this, she had always been looking at things on the ground or somewhere else.
In short, she just didn't look into his eyes. Zhao Congyi abruptly refused. Gu Wanyi was surprised and looked up in astonishment, and her gaze met Zhao Congyi's.
His eyes were like a whirlpool, constantly sucking her in. It took Gu Wan a while to come to her senses and she hurriedly looked away.
But what she didn't know was that Zhao Congyi was even more nervous than her. His lips were tightly pursed and a storm began to build up in his eyes.
"We should have paid some money for this partnership with you."
He was referring to the money for seasonings and dishes, which had been agreed upon beforehand. Gu Wan didn't expect that he didn't want her to pay. So this was what he meant. She suddenly felt relieved, as if something was free.
She didn't care why it was empty, but his explanation made her tense heart relax instantly.
"Okay, I'll make a list when the time comes." Zhao Cong nodded without refusing, and helped to organize things, putting things that should be put in the kitchen.
After all that cleaning, the kitchen seemed to have changed. I don't know when it happened, but there was a big wooden barrel in the kitchen.
Zhao Congyi saw her looking at the wooden barrel and explained:
"Aren't you going to start cooking? When I was cleaning the kitchen today, I found that there was no water in the kitchen, and it was inconvenient to go to the main hall door to get water.
It just so happens that someone in Shibi Village sells this kind of big wooden barrel, but there are no big jars. This big wooden barrel is enough for two or three people."
But it’s not enough. The wooden barrel is so big that three people can stand inside it.
Gu Wan also knew that it would be very inconvenient if there was no water tank in the kitchen, but she couldn't get such a large water tank just because she wanted it.
That’s why I haven’t tried it yet, thinking that if it doesn’t work, I can just bring a bucket of water and put it in the kitchen when I cook next time.
