My Apprenticeship to Uncle Jiu: I Was a Warlord in the Republic of China

At this time, Ren Tingting was mixing coffee while smiling and asked Jiang Li, "Brother Jiang, what did you study in the provincial capital?"

Jiang Li replied, "I studied biology and was wondering if it could be applied to agriculture."

Ren Tingting asked again, "How are you doing in your studies? Have you made any progress?"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "There is some progress. Let's bring the notes back and give it a try. If it really works, it will be worth the effort of my parents."

Ren Tingting said, "That means you will have to farm at home in the future. Will it be tiring?"

Jiang Li said, "It doesn't matter if I'm a little tired. I'm just a farmer anyway."

At this time Ren Fa came back. He also heard Jiang Li's words but did not comment. After a while, the waiter brought the egg tarts and Ren Fa signaled to Uncle Jiu not to be polite.

But Uncle Jiu looked at Jiang Li, and Jiang Li understood and said, "Master, try this egg tart. I just don't know if you are used to eating this Western dessert."

After hearing this, Uncle Jiu picked up an egg tart and started eating it. At this time, Ren Tingting said to Ren Fa, "Dad, I want to buy some rouge and powder."

After getting Ren Fa's consent, he greeted Uncle Jiu again, and finally said to Jiang Li, "Brother Jiang, can you accompany me for a walk? I haven't thanked you for what happened last time!"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "No need to thank me, just treat me to some snacks when we go shopping later."

After that, he said goodbye to Uncle Jiu and Ren Fa, and left with Ren Tingting.

When they came downstairs, Ren Tingting blinked her big eyes and said, "Brother Jiang, what do you want to eat? I'll treat you."

Jiang Li smiled and said, "I haven't been to Renjia Town much, and I don't know if there's anything delicious to eat, so why not just take a walk!"

Ren Tingting smiled and said, "Okay, let's talk while we walk. If you see anything you want to eat, tell me."

As they walked, Ren Tingting asked, "Brother Jiang, are you a Taoist priest? Why did you say you were a farmer before?"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "I am both a disciple of the Maoshan Taoist priest and the son of a farmer, so it's not wrong to say that!"

Ren Tingting asked casually, "Then can you Maoshan Taoists marry?"

Jiang Li was stunned, and then he saw her holding the corner of her clothes tightly with both hands, and couldn't help but joked, "If other girls ask, then it's not allowed, but if you ask..."

Ren Tingting immediately turned to look at Jiang Li and asked excitedly, "What if I ask?"

Jiang Li looked at her slightly red face and said with a smile, "Guess!"

Ren Tingting knew at once that he was teasing her, and she stamped her feet twice and said, "You are so annoying."

After that, she didn't ask any more questions, but said proudly, "I'm going to buy rouge and powder, please accompany me!"

Jiang Li heard this and said, "Okay, but you have to get your things yourself."

Ren Tingting asked shyly, "Do you know where to buy it?"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "You shouldn't ask me this question, it seems like you grew up in Renjia Town."

Ren Tingting pouted and said, "I haven't been home for several years. The servants used to buy it for me. I don't know where it is."

Jiang Li saw that it was almost done and said directly, "I have a senior brother whose aunt sells rouge. How about going to take a look?"

Ren Tingting stared with wide eyes and said, "Then why do you say you don't know?"

Jiang Li said, "I just want to talk to you a little more. If you don't like it, I'll tell you the place and you can go there by yourself!"

When Ren Tingting heard this, she immediately blushed and said, "What are you talking about? If you know, take me there."

Jiang Li looked at him for a while and then led the way. Soon they arrived at Qiu Sheng's aunt's store. As soon as he entered the store, he saw Qiu Sheng and shouted, "Second Brother, I'm here with someone to take care of your business. You have to give me a discount."

Qiu Sheng looked at Ren Tingting, whose face was red, behind Jiang Li and said, "You are not allowed to call me Second Senior Brother, and where did you hook up with this decent girl?"

Hearing this, the blush on Ren Tingting's face that had just disappeared appeared again. Her beautiful big eyes stared at Jiang Li, as if telling him to explain quickly.

But Jiang Li ignored him and asked Qiu Sheng, "Wencai is the senior brother and you are the second senior brother. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Seeing that Jiang Li didn't explain, Ren Tingting didn't know whether to be angry or secretly happy. Jiang Li didn't miss this opportunity. He directly took Ren Tingting's hand and put it on the counter, then let go and said, "Bring out a few rouges and see which color looks best."

This made Ren Tingting's face almost bleed, but she had nothing to say. She pretended to be calm and said, "Please bring out some rouge for me to see."

At this time, Qiu Sheng quickly took out a few rouges, pulled Jiang Li to the side of the counter, and quietly asked, "Whose girl is this and how did you hook up with her? Didn't you just come back yesterday?"

At this moment, Ren Tingting had no time to think about choosing rouge. Instead, she pricked up her ears to eavesdrop on their conversation. However, they spoke in a low voice and were quite far away from her, so she could only hear a rough idea, which made her very anxious.

Jiang Li saw Ren Tingting eavesdropping, so he turned around and asked, "Tingting, what do you think of those rouges? Do you want me to get you a few more?"

Ren Tingting felt uncomfortable when she heard these ambiguous words and said to Qiu Sheng, "These models are all good. I'll take them no matter how much they cost!"

So Qiu Sheng hurried over to help her settle the bill, and then packed up all the boxes of rouge and gave them to Ren Tingting.

After buying the things, she hurriedly walked out of the Rouge Shop. When Jiang Li saw her leaving, he hurriedly followed her out. When they got outside, Ren Tingting said angrily, "Why didn't you explain just now? You were whispering to him there."

Jiang Li raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you want me to explain? You didn't explain it just now!"

When Ren Tingting heard this, she became angry and said, "I'm not going to pay attention to you. You just take advantage of me." Then she quickly walked forward.

Jiang Li quickly followed and said, "Why are you ignoring me? Did I guess your little thoughts and you are so angry that you dare not look at me?"

Ren Tingting immediately said, "I don't have any ulterior motives. You don't have an extra eye, so why should I be afraid? I just don't want to see you."

After hearing this, Jiang Li immediately ran to Ren Tingting, grabbed her shoulders and said to her face to face, "Since you dare to look at me, then look at me and say what I just said again."

When Jiang Li grabbed her shoulders, the first thing she thought of was not to break free, but to think about what she had just said, "Just say it. What's there to be afraid of?"

Just as she was about to speak, Jiang Li's face slowly moved closer to her, frightening her so much that she asked angrily, "What are you doing?"

Seeing this, Jiang Li curled his lips and said, "No, I just want to see if you have me in your eyes," and then walked forward without looking back.

At this time, Ren Tingting came back to her senses, caught up and asked, "Did you see it?"

Jiang Li said rudely, "I'll tell you if you buy me something to eat."

Ren Tingting said angrily, "If you don't tell me, I don't want to ask!"
