I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl
Chapter 44 It’s better to break up
When Gu Wenxuan did this for the first time, Bai Jingzhou subconsciously reached out to hold the carrying pole that she had transferred.
However, Bai Jingzhou soon realized that although Gu Wenxuan placed the carrying pole on his shoulder, the real force was actually borne by Gu Wenxuan's hand holding the carrying pole.
Her dark and thin hands were like Optimus Prime, maintaining the dynamic balance of the carrying pole steadily and silently bearing the hundred-pound weight of the pole and the two buckets of water hanging on it.
Bai Jingzhou was in a complicated mood. He whispered to Gu Wenxuan, "I still have the ability to pick for a while."
Gu Wenxuan nodded, "I know. If anyone approaches us, I will let you choose."
After all, if someone came close, she wouldn't be able to act so blatantly.
Bai Jingzhou was touched but helpless, "You can also let go now and let me choose."
Gu Wenxuan shook her head, "No, what if I suppress you so much that you don't grow taller?"
Bai Jingzhou: ...
Okay, Gu Wenxuan dislikes his height, but he already gets the point.
The two of them made small moves all the way back to Gu Wenxuan's grandparents' house. At their doorstep, Gu Wenxuan took the shoulder pole off Bai Jingzhou's shoulders in front of Grandmother Jia, "Okay, it's just a short distance home, you can carry the bucket for me."
After hearing this, Jia Mu thought that Bai Jingzhou had been carrying all the weight along the way. She cried out, "Child, does your shoulder hurt?"
Bai Jingzhou shook his head, "It doesn't hurt."
Grandmother Jia didn't believe it. "How could your shoulders not hurt after carrying two buckets of water all the way?"
Bai Jingzhou: ...
The problem is, he didn't carry these two buckets of water all the way...
Grandmother Jia sighed and thought that this child was too honest in his work.
Seeing Gu Wenxuan trying to put the pole on her own shoulders, Grandmother Jia hurriedly said, "Don't carry it. Let grandma do it by herself."
Grandmother Jia thought that although she was old, she was still an adult after all, and an adult who was used to doing housework. If you really think about it, she was definitely more capable than Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou.
However, Gu Wenxuan ran away faster than a rabbit. When Lady Jia stretched out her hand to grab the carrying pole, it was empty. Before she could react, Gu Wenxuan had easily carried two buckets of water to the kitchen door.
Then, under the shocked and confused gaze of Lady Jia, Gu Wenxuan held a bucket in one hand and poured the well water in the bucket into the water tank in the corner of the kitchen.
Grandmother Jia:......
Wow, this is really amazing. When did her granddaughter master this powerful skill?
Grandmother Jia looked at Jia Guizhi, who had to explain on behalf of Gu Wenxuan. She said, "This child worshipped a master by chance..."
After Jia Guizhi said this, Grandmother Jia's mood suddenly changed from shock and confusion to relief, pride and surprise.
She said, "Wenxuan is so lucky! From now on, I don't have to worry about your family anymore."
Jia Guizhi smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about us anymore. My husband's family is sensible and hardworking. Wenxuan and her two brothers also know how to be considerate of our parents. As for me, my blessings are all in the future."
Grandmother Jia nodded repeatedly, "You are right, the blessings for you and Yongming are all in the future, and your family will surely live better and better in the future."
Gu Wenxuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What was going on?
She shook her head and handed the bucket and shoulder pole to Bai Jingzhou.
Bai Jingzhou picked up two empty buckets and went to the village's public water well with her again.
Just like the previous time, Gu Wenxuan was still the main force in carrying water.
The two of them played tricks and returned to the Jia family, filling up the Jia family's water tank. Then Gu Wenxuan helped Bai Jingzhou process the medicinal herbs he had collected during the day.
It was not until this time that Jia Mu, Jia Guizhi and Jia Yuelan discovered that Bai Jingzhou had actually collected so many high-quality Ganoderma lucidum.
The three of them stared at Bai Jingzhou in amazement. Bai Jingzhou processed the Ganoderma lucidum with skillful techniques and said to them with a smile, "When it's done, I'll save some for my aunt and grandmother to make tea with."
Jia Mu and Jia Guizhi waved their hands at the same time, "No, this is a valuable item. You can sell it for money."
The perfectly synchronized expressions, movements, tone and words of the two made Gu Wenxuan laugh. She turned her head away and shrugged her shoulders.
Bai Jingzhou also found this scene very interesting, but he didn't dare to be like Gu Wenxuan, who turned his head away and laughed secretly without caring about anything.
He said, "But I picked these in the mountains, and I didn't spend a penny. It's okay to keep some for my own consumption."
Jia Mu and Jia Guizhi still disagreed. Jia Mu said, "We live on the mountain and eat the mountain. We can't take all the good things we get from the mountain. If you do that, how can you live like this?"
Jia Guizhi also said, "Yes, Jingzhou, your parents have had a hard time. You finally got something valuable, so you should take it home and ask your father what to do with it."
The two were resolute in their attitudes, and Bai Jingzhou was both moved and helpless. At this moment, he deeply understood Gu Wenxuan's helplessness and depression at being constrained.
When Jia Mu and Jia Guizhi finally convinced Bai Jingzhou by walking a lot, Bai Jingzhou whispered to Gu Wenxuan: "Let's not go into the mountains with the elders in the future."
It's really too unfree and too restrictive.
Gu Wenxuan glanced at Jia Mu, Jia Guizhi and Jia Yuelan who were busy in the kitchen, "Next time, let's say we want to stay at Master's place for a few days."
Bai Jingzhou nodded, “This is a good idea.”
That's right, they have to find a place to stay in the mountains in advance.
He asked Gu Wenxuan, "Have you decided which mountain you want to enter next time?"
"The mountains due west of Baijia Village." Gu Wenxuan explained to Bai Jingzhou in a low voice, "The mountains on the Jiajia Village side have long been haunted by members of the Jia clan. If we sneak into the mountains here, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hide it from my mother and my grandparents."
When the lie is exposed, a big storm will definitely be waiting for her and Bai Jingzhou.
In order to prevent herself and Bai Jingzhou from facing the risk of credit bankruptcy, Gu Wenxuan would rather work harder and live a life of poverty on the mountains west of Baijia Village.
The area surrounding Baijia Village is mainly hills and plains. To enter the mountains to the west, they first have to climb over three small hills in succession.
In this way, half a day was basically consumed in this round trip. In order to waste less time on the road, they certainly could not adopt the simple mode of hunting nearby and returning on the same day as they did before.
Anyway, she is very strong, so even if she has to carry several times more prey than this time, it would only be a matter of her making a few more trips back and forth.
Bai Jingzhou agreed with this and said, "Then let's go to the mountains west of Baijia Village."
Gu Wenxuan reminded him, "Don't forget to go collect the wild honey first. After that, we can leave with my parents."
