His eyes flickered, and he chuckled and nodded: "Okay, shall we talk in my room, or outside?"

"Come out, let's talk outside," Qi Yuanshuo said and walked out to the yard.

Xiao Yueshi curled the corners of his mouth slightly, put down the book, and followed him out.

The two men stood under a tree a few hundred meters away from their home. A six-courtyard house was being built behind the house. Dozens of construction workers were busy at work and no one noticed them.

After making sure that no one else could hear what they were saying, Qi Yuanshuo lowered his voice and asked, "Xiao Yueshi, do you like my little sister Huai?"

Xiao Yueshi was slightly startled, then he raised the corners of his lips and smiled, "Did you figure it out?"

Qi Yuanshuo nodded: "You showed it very clearly."

"So what?" Xiao Yueshi looked at him steadily, with provocation in his eyes.

Qi Yuanshuo did not avoid his gaze, his eyes were stern: "I have liked Sister Xiaohuai for a long time, and I have already mentioned to my aunt and uncle that I want to marry her, and they agreed. Sister Xiaohuai also promised me that if she likes me when I am fifteen, she will be with me. So, she is mine, please don't bother her!"

Xiao Yueshi smiled faintly: "Hasn't she promised you yet? Even if she promised you, as long as you haven't gotten married, I still have a chance. No, even if you are married, I still have a chance. I can wait, wait for your love for Xiao Huai to fade away little by little in the trivial daily life, wait for you to dislike her wrinkles, her sallow skin, her deformed figure, and her yellow-faced woman, wait for you to take a concubine, a concubine, three wives and four concubines, and then Xiao Huai will be sad and disappointed, and finally leave you. I have a lifetime to wait."

Qi Yuanshuo clenched his fists, his eyes flashing coldly: "I'm afraid you will never see that day. In this life, I will marry her and we will be together for the rest of our lives. I like her when she is young and I also like her when she is old. Even if she has wrinkles and a deformed figure, my love for her will only grow day by day and become part of my blood."

Xiao Yueshi's mouth curled up with sarcasm, "You make a solemn promise, but you don't think about the consequences. What you said was also said by my scumbag father to my mother. Not only my parents, but too many young men and women always make a vow to unite the world when they are in love. However, the vow cannot withstand the erosion of time, and will eventually be riddled with holes."

Qi Yuanshuo sneered, "Your father had evil intentions the moment he met your mother. The oath was just a means for him to achieve his goal. I simply and unconditionally like Sister Xiaohuai. I can sacrifice my life for Sister Xiaohuai and am willing to do anything for her. And your father is just a hypocrite who seeks benefits in the name of love! He is a profit-seeking, hypocritical and stingy villain. He is not worthy of being compared with me, Zhao Xiaoshi! I came to you today just because I don't want you to set your sights on Sister Xiaohuai, so that you won't be resentful of her in the future if you can't get her."

Xiao Yueshi still had a gentle and gentle smile on his face. "Brother Xiao Shitou, I agree with your evaluation of my father. However, no matter what you say, you can't stop me from liking Xiao Huai. All you can do is be yourself."

Qi Yuanshuo nodded: "Indeed, as long as you don't use despicable means, please feel free to do as you please."

Xiao Yueshi chuckled: "It seems that Brother Xiao Shitou has a deep misunderstanding of me. It doesn't matter. We will meet often in the future and you can slowly get to know me. However, I can tell you the truth. I can scheme against anyone except my mother and Xiao Huai. Of course, I won't scheme against you and Uncle Zhao, because you are all the lifesavers of my mother and me. I, Xiao Yueshi, have always been clear about gratitude and resentment."

"That's the best. I have said everything I needed to say. It's windy outside and you're too weak. You'd better go back early." After saying that, Qi Yuanshuo turned around and walked back.

Xiao Yueshi was slightly stunned, looking at Xiao Shitou's back, his eyes gradually darkening.

His steps were as steady as the wind, his aura was restrained and natural, his posture was straight and strong. It seemed that Zhao Xiaoshi had practiced martial arts for no less than ten years.

Moreover, although he tried hard to conceal it, one could still tell that his every move and gesture had the demeanor of a noble family.

Ever since he first met Zhao Xiaoshi and Zhao A'ren, Xiao Yueshi felt that these two people did not seem to be the sons of farmers. After a few days of contact, he became more and more certain of this.

What is somewhat strange is that since these two people hid their true identities and were willing to lie dormant in Tuniu Village, why did Zhao Xiaoshi join the army and seek fame?

Logically, some of it doesn't make sense.

But whoever they were, it was none of his business.

Xiao Yueshi turned around and looked at the farmlands, houses and green mountains in the distance, feeling relaxed and happy.

A pig was being slaughtered in the yard, and a lot of people gathered around, busy and lively.

Gu Qinghuai was talking with Fangkuai and Roller in the lounge.

Gu Qinghuai said solemnly to Fang Kuai: "Uncle Fang Kuai, the quality of bricks and tiles must be up to standard. Every brick and tile must be professionally inspected. There must be no inferior products passed off as good ones. In addition, the factory's rules and regulations must be strictly enforced. Anyone who does not abide by the rules or has a perfunctory attitude will be directly discarded!"

"Oh, okay, I'll remember it." Fang Kuai nodded seriously, and then wrote down what Gu Qinghuai said in the notebook.

Although there are still many words he cannot write, he can use various symbols instead.

Gu Qinghuai looked at Gunzi again: "Uncle Gunzi, don't worry, even in summer, there is still a market for charcoal. For example, restaurants and hotels can burn firewood or charcoal. The key is that we have to find a way to expand the market.

In addition, some special dining styles also use charcoal, such as hot pot and barbecue. Our village can open a barbecue shop or a hot pot shop in the county town. Over time, these cooking styles will spread far and wide, and we will not have to worry about not being able to sell charcoal. "

Running a restaurant is hard work and requires a lot of manpower. Gu Qinghuai plans to cooperate with the villagers. Since there are many people in the village, there is no need to worry about a lack of cheap labor.

After hearing this, Roller and Cube's eyes suddenly lit up.

Huai girl is planning to develop new industries for the village!

Gu Qinghuai continued, "After my eldest brother gets married in March, I will start to run these two shops. During this time, Uncle Gunzi will first select some hard-working and honest girls, women, or young men in the village who are clean and smart."

Roller nodded immediately: "Okay! I remember it all!"

After explaining the affairs of each factory, Gu Qinghuai looked at Fangkuai and Gunzi and said, "Uncle Fangkuai, Uncle Gunzi, as the saying goes, a leader who doesn't know how to use people will exhaust himself. You two are factory managers and stewards. You should observe more, learn more, use your brains more, learn how to use people, and cultivate talents related to the development of the factory. For example, in terms of market development, you can specially train some young people, let them bravely go out and explore, and maximize the product sales of the two factories. Product quality is vitality, but only when sales are activated can you make money."

The two nodded respectfully, "Okay, we'll remember that."
