Chapter 97: Master Lu buys a camera

Although Bai Zhonghuai complained about his granddaughter's stubbornness, he was worried in his heart.

After so many days, his granddaughter finally came to terms with it, which finally comforted him.

Every failure makes one wiser. I hope this child will have a smoother future.

However, thinking about Mingyue's proposal just now, he came up with some ideas.

So he said, "Let's try to get things done today and tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, Yanqing, ask the factory to send a few cars, and our whole family can ride over there to join in the fun. Afterwards, let Mingyue ride back to the factory with us, so that we won't be delayed."

"The veteran came out and did the job of two people. Things were arranged well. I am very satisfied."

Bai Zhonghuai couldn't help but laugh at Gu Mingyue's joke and scolded her, "Go away, you have no respect for your parents."

Before leaving, she glanced at the two baskets hanging on the back seat of the car. They were made by her second brother so that she could carry things conveniently.

Gu Mingyue patted the seat and said speechlessly under the puzzled gaze of the Bai family, "Look at my brain. I was so busy talking that I forgot to let you taste the dates."

As he spoke, he took down one of the baskets, which contained half a basket of dates.

Bai Zhonghuai was about to stop him, but was interrupted by Gu Mingyue, "Don't be anxious, old man. I can't give you this basket. Go find me a basin or something so I can pour out the dates."

The Bai family was amused by Gu Mingyue's deliberate teasing of the old man.

It's really interesting to see the old man who always has his way being criticized and getting so angry.

The younger generations in the family looked at Gu Mingyue in admiration. They thought she was so brave to speak to their grandfather like that.

Bai Zhonghuai glared at Gu Mingyue and ignored her.

He turned around and told his son to take the basket and carry it to the kitchen.

And told him to put the newly delivered mutton into the basket.

This time it was the old man who interrupted Gu Mingyue first, "Don't worry, I'll only give you a leg of lamb. If you want more, you can't get it yet."

Gu Mingyue:.........The old man is too narrow-minded.

Although Bai Zhonghuai couldn't read minds, he could guess that the little girl didn't say anything good about him.

He raised his eyebrows proudly at Gu Mingyue, you little bastard, I can’t cure you.

As the two men exchanged glances, Bai Yanqing came out carrying a basket.

Gu Mingyue took it and found that there were not only lamb legs in it, but also two cans of malted milk and two boxes of Poria cocos cake.

I seriously doubt that if the basket was full, more would have been stuffed in.

Just as she was about to take out the things, Bai Zhonghuai grabbed the basket and put it on the car, then pushed her directly into the car and started to drive her away, "Alright, alright, it's getting late, let's go quickly, see you the day after tomorrow."

Gu Mingyue stopped the car only after being forced out for a distance.

While the old man turned around, she took out a watermelon from another basket, put it on the ground, and gently pushed it forward.

Seeing the watermelon rolling forward, she got on the bike and said loudly, "Grandpa, remember to save the watermelon seeds for me."

Bai Zhonghuai looked back and saw the watermelon rolling over, and shouted loudly, "Gu Mingyue."

Gu Mingyue, who was riding a bicycle in front of him, turned her back to him and waved her hand and shouted, "There is only one, no more."

Bai Zhonghuai had a stern face, but after a while, he couldn't hold it back and laughed, "This little bitch won't take any loss."

"It's rare to have this kind of mentality at this age." Bai Yanqing couldn't help but sigh.

Bai Zhonghuai snorted lightly, but his words were full of warning, "She looks so impetuous, but in fact, this girl has calculated everything with us. She won't suffer any loss and won't let anyone else suffer any loss. She is smart. It's not a loss for our family to associate with her. You must take care of her affairs in the future."

"Got it, Dad. As for Butler Wang..."

Bai Zhonghuai said sternly, "He is a traitor. Make him spit out everything the Bai family gave him. Double it! If he doesn't have anything, sell the house. Anyway, when I rescued him, he lived worse than a stray dog. Now it's understandable to make him become penniless again.

Afterwards, he, Wang Yali, and all the Chen family members were sent to Yun Province. I heard that there were not only poisonous insects rife there, but also miasma everywhere, and outsiders were very much excluded. Whether they could return alive depended on the luck of the Chen family themselves. "

Gu Mingyue only wanted to let those people do labor reform, but she didn't know that she provided ideas to the Bai family, and they did something more extreme and cruel.

On the way back, Gu Mingyue did not forget to go to Master Lu, take the clothes away, and thank him sincerely.

This master was the only one who dealt with her out of kindness, and she was willing to treat him with some sincerity.

Master Lu offered the remaining dates in the basket to the other party, but he refused.

Gu Mingyue explained, "They are all grown by the villagers themselves. They are not valuable. If you don't want to take them, I will feel embarrassed to take the clothes."

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Master Lu had no choice but to accept it.

Gu Mingyue also asked Master Lu to help her find a camera. She wanted to take a photo every year or during every holiday when she occasionally remembered.

It’s not good to keep bothering others, so it’s better to buy one yourself and save yourself the trouble.

Master Lu was embarrassed to accept the dates, but when he heard about this, he readily agreed.

He also promised to teach her how to take pictures in the future. Gu Mingyue thanked him again, agreed on the time to come next time, and rode back to the village.

The villagers were excited when they learned that a deal had been reached with the textile factory.

Gu Mingyue did not forget to give them a "vaccination" and told them that the leader of the textile factory would come to inspect the day after tomorrow, and everyone should not make any mistakes.

Otherwise, if you can't change the fabric later, don't ask her for mercy.

Everyone promised not to lag behind

The clothes that Master Lu gave her were basically neutral and could be worn by both men and women.

Even though most of them turn white after washing, the advantage is that the fabric is thick.

It’s too big for Xiao Shitou, so they can be given to Guangsheng and the others.

As for Guangsheng's clothes, which were either full of holes or patched, it would be inappropriate to give them to the villagers or not.

It would be better to give it to Niu Wazi and the others as compensation for running errands, otherwise it will always feel like employing child labor.

The day for picking dates soon arrived.

Early in the morning, everyone gathered excitedly under the jujube tree at the entrance of the village.

This is one of the few collective activities in the village, so everyone is looking forward to it.

Gu Mingwei also privately asked Gu Mingyue whether he needed the entire welcome ceremony.

"Brother, no need, they just come here to join in the fun, we can just act as usual."

The tool for picking dates is a long wooden stick, which is a little distance away from the top of the date tree. The dates have to be shaken to make them fall to the ground.

Originally this job was usually done by the second brother Gu, but since Guan Youliang settled in their village, the job of picking dates in the village has been handed over to him.

Soon, the car arrived.

There were two cars and a truck following behind them.

It seems that almost all the Bai family members have come.

As soon as Bai Feng got out of the car, Gu Mingyue found that she was obviously much more energetic than before.

Xu Nianci followed closely behind with her two children, a boy and a girl. The boy was older.

The two children were very delicate and it was the first time for them to see so many people. They were a little timid and nervously clung to their grandmother.

Gu Mingyue went forward and both sides introduced their families to each other.

The villagers felt a little uncomfortable when facing the Bai family members in their fancy dress. They always felt that they were different from the city people they usually came into contact with and that they had a stronger aura.

Xu Nianci walked up to Mingyue with the two children in her hand. "These are Fenglai's two children. This is Bai Yixuan, seven and a half years old, and this is Bai Yinuo, five years old."

Hearing that the child's last name was Bai, Gu Mingyue's eyes moved slightly, and then she squatted down and took the initiative to greet the two children, "Hello, I'm Gu Mingyue, and this is my nephew Gu Guanglei and niece Gu Guangxin. Would you like to play together later?"

The two children looked up at their grandmother. After receiving her encouragement, the elder brother was obviously more stable.

He took his sister's hand and walked over to Gu Mingyue and called out, "Hello, Aunt Mingyue."

Little Stone tilted his head and pointed out cutely, "No, that's not right. You have to call me auntie. Auntie Mingyue."

"what?"
