Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger

Chapter 541: It's a Time of Shortage of Able-Bodied Men

Gu Qingming was sobbing and sobbing. When he heard what his eldest brother said, he quickly wiped away his tears and said, "Brother, you are so cruel. You don't let me cry, so I cry."

Gu Qinghan pulled the corner of his mouth slightly, raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Yuan and his group who were walking over, especially when he saw the slender figure walking in front. Just like before, with curved eyebrows and gentle eyes, he said: "Ayuan, you must listen, I am not bullying anyone."

Xu Yuan was confused and spread his hands. What else did she say?

"Brother Qinghan, you're back!"

Many Japanese confectioners came forward and greeted happily.

"Come in first." Xu Yuan called.

Gu Qinghan walked forward, took the backpack from Xu Yuan's back very naturally, and walked beside him.

"Brother, don't you want to take the backpack on the ground?" Gu Qingming asked when he saw the small backpack on the ground.

Gu Qinghan took a glance and quickly looked away.

"Get it yourself. It's not like you don't have hands."

Xu Zhi and Guozi heard this from behind and laughed softly.

"Humph, brother really has a wife and has forgotten his brother."

Gu Qingming snorted softly, looking at Gu Qinghan who had already walked away, and muttered.

……

On the other side, Lin Zhian and others who were staying at Gu Qingming's house were strolling around the village with Li Junyong.

Many villagers saw them from afar and cast curious glances at them, but they just took a quick look and then looked away.

"Junyong, what are those long strips planted in the field over there?" Lin Zhian was very curious about everything here and looked here and there.

Still chewing the wild fruit given by Xu Qing, Lin Zhian had become familiar to Xu Qing in a short while by relying on his eloquence and likable personality.

"I don't know how long it has been since I came back." Li Junyong scratched his head and said helplessly.

Compared to the past, the farmland has expanded a lot, and there are many more kinds of crops that have never been seen before.

"Are you still curious now?" Li Junyong looked at An Zeyu, who spent a huge amount of money to visit Hsinchu Village, and said jokingly.

"I think I may be even more curious." An Zeyu smiled.

Upon hearing this, Wu Mingshi looked at An Zeyu twice more with a probing look in his eyes.

"Oh, I knew that you businessmen are not honest. But you are just curious. After all, so what if you are curious?" Li Junyong didn't care.

They didn't stroll around for long. After it got completely dark, Li Junyong took them back to Gu Qinghan's house again.

Xu Qing and Village Chief Gu greeted them, asked them to rest early, and then returned to their rooms.

"It's just right that you're back. I have something to talk to you about."

Gu Qinghan walked out of the main room and looked at Lin Zhian and others who came in. Dong Qing was tactful enough not to follow them and went straight back to the room that Xu Qing had cleaned up.

The mountains and forests are quiet and deep, and the village has returned to its former tranquility, but compared to the past, today's Hsinchu Village has a lot more fresh air.

In Gu Qinghan's room, a dim candle was lit. Lin Zhian and others sat down opposite each other. Gu Qinghan briefly explained the situation, which instantly shocked the three of them.

"Qinghan, what did you say? There is cotton!" Lin Zhian said in surprise.

"Yes, these were cultivated in the past two years. Now that the world has stabilized, we plan to sell them. It was that person's idea that you could come here. Do you want to do this deal?"

Lin Zhian's family runs a cloth shop, so naturally the demand for cotton is huge. All the cotton is shipped from far away places, and the quality and quantity cannot be said to be very good.

But the fluffy ball spread out in his palm was better than anything he had ever touched before.

In addition to food, An Zeyu's family's business also involves cloth. Compared with Wu Mingshi's family, the areas involved are even wider, even to the capital.

Wu Mingshi's idea was very simple. Once cotton could be planted on a large scale, just like sweet potatoes and potatoes, everyone would be full and no longer go hungry. Even in the cold winter, they would be able to wear warm clothes.

During the wars in previous years, countless people fled on the road, froze to death in the middle of winter, and were hungry and cold. His father had spent his entire life working for the benefit of the people. Although he would be transferred away soon, he was able to popularize cotton planting before leaving, which was a great achievement.

"We want to do this deal!" three voices said in unison.

Gu Qinghan understood, "Okay, you guys go back and rest first, I'll take you to a place tomorrow and we can talk in detail."

After the three of them returned to the room, Gu Qinghan blew out the candle in the room and then disappeared into the room.

……

The next morning, a strange yet familiar rooster crowed.

The cool mountain breeze blew into the room through the gap in the window, blowing a thin piece of paper on the table to the ground.

A large hand with distinct joints picked up the thin piece of paper on the ground and placed it on the table, then walked barefoot back to the bed.

"Aren't you going back yet?"

Xu Yuan woke up completely as soon as he heard the alarm from Lai Fu. He tidied his messy hair, got up from the bed, picked up the mirror beside the bed, looked at his neck, and then glared at Gu Qinghan.

There are two or three red marks that won't go away in a short time.

The dog man was right, he really would bite people, and she almost couldn't resist him. Fortunately, they both knew their limits.

Gu Qinghan also saw the marks on Xu Yuan’s neck. He coughed lightly a few times, his eyes dim.

"Does it hurt...?" Gu Qinghan asked with concern, stroking the mark on Xu Yuan's neck.

The only response he felt was pain in his waist.

"Does it hurt?"

Xuyuan asked unhappily, removing his hand from around his waist.

"Oh, then I'll be gentler next time."

Gu Qinghan said guiltily.

"piss off!"

Xu Yuan pushed Gu Qinghan and didn't want to talk to him.

"Don't be angry, I'm leaving first. I'll come back later." Gu Qinghan patted the back of Xu Yuan's hand, straightened Xu Yuan's hair, said gently, and then left.

Today is the corn picking season, and the village is in need of strong men. This is great, as we have caught up with the time.

Gu Qinghan didn't let Lin Zhian and the others come in vain, and called them all to help.

"It's you!"

An Zeyu was surprised when he saw Xu Yuan.

"Yes, talking about me." Xu Yuan nodded and replied.

When An Zeyu saw how close and natural Gu Qinghan and Xu Yuan were, he suddenly remembered what Gu Qinghan said last night, and he felt blessed.

"Could it be that your family also grows cotton?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhian and Wu Mingshi looked towards Xu Yuan.

After looking at this and then looking at Gu Qinghan standing beside him, I have to say that the two of them are really a good match.

Xu Yuan, who has been working in the fields all year round, may not be as delicate as the ladies who have to ride in sedan chairs when traveling, but she is naturally beautiful. Her skin is not very tanned, and her manners are generous and natural, not shy. They even admit that sometimes they are not as good as her.
