The little girl from a farm family has a big wish to make a fortune by farming and picking mushrooms

Chapter 482 Extra Zhou Mingqi (IV)

"Second Miss, are you ready? This old servant brought you a bowl of seasickness medicine."

"Uncle Fu, I'm fine. Come in."

Zhou Mingqi had just wrung out his hair and was about to go out to get some fresh air.

"Second Miss, this medicine is just the right temperature. Drink it and I'll take it away."

Zhou Mingqi endured the bitterness and drank all the herbs in the bowl.

Not to mention that I would vomit from riding the boat, just drinking this herb would make me feel a little nauseous.

The rooms on the ship are separated by wooden boards, even the upper rooms.

After hearing Old Man Fu's voice, Qin Jiaxue's hands, which were grabbing his belly, froze in mid-air.

He must have heard it right, was this Old Man Fu’s voice?

Qin Jiaxue quickly rolled out of the bathtub, lay half-naked on the bed and eavesdropped from the corner next door.

I'm a bitch!

It really was Old Man Fu and that little girl.

How did they end up on this ship?!

···

Qin Jiaxue's brain finally reacted.

His mother really kept it a secret from him and made him suffer so much!!!

So what are you waiting for? Go ask the little girl for the second half of Sun Wukong!

Huh? No.

These are Zhou family’s goods, so aren’t they members of the Zhou family?

Now he really believes what Lao Ma said. He and that little girl really have some fate.

Qin Jiaxue casually picked up a piece of clothing from the bedside and wrapped it up, then took two steps at a time and knocked on the door next door.

"Hello~"

Just as Uncle Fu left, someone suddenly broke in and scared Zhou Mingqi.

If the person didn't look familiar, she would have called out.

"Why is Mr. Qin here?"

Zhou Mingqi looked at the man in front of him. Why was he running here, sweaty and disheveled?

But why does it look a bit sexy?

Qin Jiaxue smiled when he heard it.

"Why am I here? Of course it's all thanks to you. Why is there only the first half of your notebook? Where is the second half? I've been so anxious lately. I heard you were on this ship, so I followed you here."

"what?"

Zhou Mingqi's eyes suddenly widened.

This guy dared to chase us just to read the second half of the book. He is so brave. He is not afraid that the captain will kick him off.

"You sneaked onto the boat! Then hurry up and don't let the boatman see you. If he chases you off the boat, I won't protect you."

Qin Jiaxue didn't explain much, he just walked into the house casually to pour tea and drink water.

"Hey, we've met several times, but I still don't know your name. I wonder if I'm lucky enough to know your name. It's not very polite of me to keep feeding you."

"De'er, you are the only one who knows how to be polite? You don't even knock on the door when entering someone else's room, and you speak and act very familiarly..."

Zhou Mingqi was too lazy to refute him. From the first moment they met, she felt that he was full of flaws, rough, unruly and unruly. If she didn't know that he was a boatman, she would have thought he was some rich second-generation rich man.

"My name is Qin Jiaxue, and I'm from Guining City." Qin Jiaxue was the first to give his name.

Seeing him so frank, Zhou Mingqi felt embarrassed not to answer, "Zhou Mingqi, from Chengzhou."

"Okay, now that we've gotten to know each other, can you show me the second volume of Sun Wukong? The ship will take several days to sail, and it would be boring if I don't have anything to do."

"I was in a hurry to go out and forgot to bring it."

Zhou Mingqi took two sips of tea and did not give him the notebook.

"Auntie, you really didn't bring it?"

Qin Jiaxue immediately lowered his attitude to the lowest level and directly addressed Zhou Mingqi as "aunt" in a very "filial" tone.

This was obviously beyond Zhou Mingqi's expectations, and he almost spit out the tea in his mouth.

"I really didn't lie to you. I really didn't bring any books with me. I was in a hurry to leave, so I just picked up two books to kill time. You even snatched one of them away from me."

When he heard that he really didn't bring it, Qin Jiaxue's face changed immediately, and then returned to his original state.

"But there's another one that might interest you, too."

After hearing what Zhou Mingqi said, Qin Jiaxue returned to his previous servile behavior.

"What book? Lend it to me?"

"Wait a minute, I'll get it for you."

This book is being read by Zhou Mingqi, but I have already read it several times, so it’s okay to lend it to him first.

"The Investiture of the Gods?"

"Yeah, the story inside is also very interesting, you might as well take a look."

"Okay, thank you. I'll go back to my room and read it carefully. If you need anything, please call me at any time."

After Qin Jiaxue got the book, he immediately ran away, running faster than a rabbit.

Zhou Mingqi couldn't help but laugh when he saw him like that.

This man has grown up, but she actually saw the same stupidity in him as in Mingjie.

But the books written by San Ya are really good. My brothers and sisters at home like them very much and never get tired of reading them.

Even if the uncles and aunts in the village are illiterate, they will turn over the pages several times to recognize the characters above.

After Qin Jiaxue got the book, he half-lay on the bed and read it. What he read was amazing.

It's even more brilliant than that of Monkey King!

However, before he had flipped through the book for long, he found a net inside the book.

It is a pink plum blossom with a small yellow crystal strung on the pistil, which seems to have a faint fragrance coming from it.

Qin Jiaxue looked at it carefully and put it in his arms. He thought that the necklace must have been left there by the little girl accidentally. He would return it to her next time he saw her.

For the first time, Qin Jiaxue developed a strong interest in reading. He read until dark and even forgot to eat dinner.

Being familiar with his own boat, he lit a lamp and went to the kitchen to find something to eat.

I didn't expect that the kitchen was cleaner than the deck. I couldn't find a single steamed bun or rice grain. I was really impressed by him.

"Qin Jiaxue?"

The sound of a kitten could be heard faintly from the kitchen door.

"Qin Jiaxue?"

Listening carefully, I realized that it was someone calling my name.

"It's me. I'm here."

With the help of moonlight, he could see clearly who was coming. It turned out to be the young girl from the Zhou family.

"Qin Jiaxue, are you hungry?"

"how do you know?"

"You sneaked on board, so you won't get any food."

Qin Jiaxue, feeling guilty, grinned. He guessed the first sentence accurately, but the second sentence was abruptly off.

"So do you have anything to eat? I just checked and there's not even any leftovers."

Qin Jiaxue was already prepared to have nothing to eat.

Zhou Mingqi looked at him and shook his head awkwardly.

The food she ate was given to her by Uncle Fu, and the leftovers were taken away by Uncle Fu, so she didn't have any food left...

"It's okay, go back, you won't die if you go hungry."

Qin Jiaxue took a step forward holding the candle, but his sleeve was grabbed by the little girl behind him.

"Wait a minute. I'm a little hungry, and I know a little about cooking. If you don't mind, stay and eat with me."

"You can cook? I didn't realize that."

Qin Jiaxue's health took a sudden turn for the worse.

"Let me see what vegetables there are and prepare some to eat."

Zhou Mingqi took the loofah and eggs. She planned to make scrambled eggs with loofah and a steamed egg.

Qin Jiaxue only brought his mouth with him, and didn't say anything when he saw her taking the ingredients he didn't like.

Qin Jiaxue is responsible for lighting and Zhou Mingqi is responsible for cooking.

Not long after, the two dishes were out of the pot.

"There was no food available on the boat, so we had to make do with what we had. There was no staple food, so I added very little salt."

"It doesn't matter. As long as it doesn't poison anyone, it's a good thing."

Qin Jiaxue was just being polite, but he didn't expect that he would be petrified as soon as the dish entered his mouth.

Is this still the loofah he knows? !

It's so delicious!

"Zhou Mingqi, how did you do it?"

"Hmm? Weren't you watching all the time?"

That made sense, he had been watching from the side, but he hadn't expected it to taste so good.

"I said the chef on the ship was a despicable person and should have been chopped off long ago. The same vegetables and the same pot, why did the food taste so different? One tasted like pig food, and the other tasted like a delicacy."

"Come on, hurry up and eat. You're talking so loudly that you're not afraid of attracting people."

He is not afraid at all. It's almost as if those people are afraid of him.

Qin Jiaxue was eating such delicious food and couldn't help but look up at the girl in front of him.

The cabin was silent, and the moonlight on her face added a bit of hazy beauty. He just watched her, and his heart couldn't help but beat faster...

Zhou Mingqi was very satisfied with the food she cooked. She hadn’t cooked for a long time and thought she was not good at it.

I tried it today and there is no regression.

"The egg custard is very tender, you should try it too."

After taking a bite of the egg custard, Zhou Mingqi smiled with satisfaction. It was so delicious.

It’s still better to eat the food you cook yourself. The taste of the food on the boat is really not good.

The blood in Qin Jiaxue's chest was rushing in all directions. The girl in front of him smiled gently, and he felt his whole body burning rapidly.

"Why are you daydreaming? Didn't you just say this dish was delicious?"

Seeing the person sitting in front of him in a daze, Zhou Mingqi hummed a few words in dissatisfaction.

"No... sorry, it was so delicious that I just thought of my mom."

After hearing what Qin Jiaxue said, Zhou Mingqi was stunned.

This silly child is so filial that he always thinks of saving any delicious food for his mother.

"Eat it first, and if you have the chance later, bring a bowl to your mother as well."

Zhou Mingqi will go south to purchase many times, and the two of them may meet again. There must be such a chance.

Seeing that the little girl believed it, Qin Jiaxue laughed a few times, then quickly finished the food in the bowl.

"Thank you for the treat, young lady. I'm not that hungry anymore."

Zhou Mingqi also laughed a few times, she was already full.

After returning to his room, he no longer had the same enthusiasm for studying.

Qin Jiaxue curled up quietly on the bed, holding the plum blossom bracelet in his hand and rubbing it back and forth, thinking of someone quietly.

He suddenly didn't want to give it back to her...

It's boring when you have nothing to do, but if you have something to do, time passes quickly.

It took a total of seven days from Guining to Chengzhou, which was neither short nor long, and it arrived very quickly.

The Zhou family's goods were unloaded from the ship and began to travel by land. Land escort was not within the Qin family's responsibility.

Before getting off the boat, Qin Jiaxue called Zhou Mingqi.

"Little girl from the Zhou family, I haven't finished reading that book yet, can you lend it to me for a few more days?"

"Okay, you can take a look at it first."

“Does this book have two volumes?”

"Yes, if you like to read it, I'll bring the second volume with me next time?"

"Okay, thank you."

Qin Jiaxue looked at the little girl in front of him, hesitating to speak, and suddenly stuttered when he came to speak.

"Do you have anything else to say? Did the captain blame you after he found you?"

"Um... no, no, as long as I work I won't be punished."

"Um... there's a plum blossom cord in your book, I forgot to bring it to you."

"It's okay. I'll give it to you. It's not a plum blossom, it's a peach blossom."

Qin Jiaxue was stunned. It turned out to be a peach blossom cord...

Zhou Mingqi turned around and laughed to get off the boat.

"Don't leave yet."

"You gave me a gift, so I gave you a gift in return."

Qin Jiaxue pulled a pendant from his neck and said, "This is the amulet my mother asked for me. I hope it can keep you safe and have a smooth life."

"Isn't this a bit too expensive? Besides, your mother asked for it for you. It's not appropriate to give it to me."

"Don't worry, keep it. It's very suitable. I have worn it for nearly twenty years. This jade has been stained with spiritual energy. Since it is a gift, it must have special meaning."

"Okay, then I'll accept it."

"Remember, take this boat next time!"

The two waved goodbye, somewhat reluctantly.

Zhou Mingqi got into his own carriage, and the jade in his hand still had the warmth of the man just now.

The shape of this amulet is really strange, it is a crescent moon, simple and elegant, and it looks good when girls wear it.

This guy is really something. In order to read two storybooks, he even gave her the amulet that his mother had asked for him. Isn't he afraid that she will run away...
