Time Travel Article: Tool Man Rejects Plot

The more happily Gu Mingyue boasted, the more anxious the people around her felt.

Uncle Gu whispered to Gu Mingzhong, "Go tell your eldest brother to tell Mingyue to be more cautious. You are so bold to say that the village is the best in the country. You are not afraid of not being able to cover it up."

Second Brother Gu held back his laughter and walked to Gu Mingwei, but before he could say anything, he was caught by Gu Mingyue.

"Let me introduce you to everyone. This is my second brother, Gu Mingzhong."

The Bai family greeted them politely.

Second Brother Gu returned the greeting awkwardly.

Gu Mingyue said, "My second brother is a handicraft lover. He was busy with his handicrafts just now and came late. Alas, he is like this. He likes to concentrate on his work and can't take care of other things.

Although my second brother is self-taught, he is good at woodworking, carving, or weaving. With my second brother's enthusiasm, I believe it is only a matter of time before he reaches the master level. Second brother, why don't you show us your skills a little bit?"

Second brother Gu came running over to join in the fun one second, and the next second he became the one doing the fun.

The eldest brother could not help but tremble with his mouth, but he felt like he was about to smoke from the stench.

I quickly said, "Oh, sure, but I have to find the tools, so it might take a long time."

Gu Mingyue just said it, not wanting her second brother to really show it, so she pretended to be helpless and said, "My second brother is so demanding, if he does something, he will do it to the best of his ability."

Except for the shrewd Bai Zhonghuai and the knowledgeable Bai Yanqing, the rest of the Bai family actually believed it.

Everyone looked at Second Brother Gu with respect.

Second Brother Gu couldn't stay any longer, so he found an excuse and slipped away quickly.

Oh my god, I can't bear it. Mingyue just talked about him? A master craftsman? He wouldn't dare to think so even in his dreams.

Besides, he clearly came back late because he went to the toilet. I don’t know what Mingyue is up to?

No, stay away from it. The feeling of being praised so much that I feel uncomfortable is really unbearable.

At this time, Guan Youliang had just finished picking the dates and was about to come over to help pack them.

Gu Mingyue took the opportunity to introduce, "This is Uncle Guan. He was the one who just picked dates. He is now the captain of the militia in our village. He used to be a hunter. He has wrestled with bears and fought with tigers in the mountains. He is quite skilled. Although he looks fierce, he is a kind-hearted person. With him around, our village never closes its doors on New Year's Eve. The security level of the village is absolutely 'one man guarding the pass, ten thousand men cannot get through'."

Guan Youliang paused, quietly turned around and pretended that he didn't hear anything.

But his increasingly hurried footsteps made him look like he was fleeing in panic.

Guan Youliang really wanted to escape and go home, otherwise he might have to fight wild boars and pythons next time.

And fighting with bears and tigers? Was it fighting with his ghost? Are you sure it wasn't a talking book?

And isn’t he temporarily serving as the militia captain?

When did it turn right? How come he didn't know!

The most outrageous thing is the warm heart.

Does it count if he can scare the village children into tears and make them behave themselves and not make trouble?

The villagers had been listening, and the more they listened, the more confused they became.

They don't lock their doors at night in their village. Isn't it because each family doesn't have anything valuable and therefore isn't afraid of theft?

And the Gu Laoer and Guan Youliang that Mingyue just mentioned, are you sure they are the same person they know?

Gu Mingyue glanced at everyone at this moment, like a teacher preparing to ask questions in class.

The villagers lived up to everyone's expectations and ducked their heads, almost carving the words "you can't see me" on their foreheads and playing them on a loop.

"The people in our village are warm, kind, harmonious and friendly..."

After a heated argument yesterday, Gu Guangping and Gu Guangzhen pulled each other's hair, looked at each other uncomfortably, and then both looked away...

"All villagers firmly support the national policy and actively carry out the literacy campaign. So far, each of the more than 100 people in the village can recognize more than 500 characters on average. In the future, I believe that Gujia Village will become the first village within a hundred miles to get rid of illiteracy."

Villagers: Even if we count one, two, three, four, five, and six, there seem to be less than a hundred words. How do we make up the remaining four hundred words?

Headache...

Gu Mingyue continued to brag without thinking, "Our villagers are very simple and honest. Most of the villagers follow traditional customs and still retain the culture and craftsmanship passed down from generation to generation. For example, the village accountant Gu Mingxin, known as the 'Iron Abacus', is an expert in abacus. Comrade Tian Maisui knows all kinds of wild animals in the mountains; Comrade Gu Mingjin is a know-it-all, there is nothing he doesn't know..."

Villagers: No, they admit that you can use an abacus.

But if Tian Maisui knows it, everyone in the village should know it too!

After all, picking mushrooms and digging wild vegetables is something you have to learn if you want to store more food for your family, even if you don't know how.

And Gu Laoliu? Wherever there is gossip, there is him. He really knows a lot!

But I’m not sure whether it is decent or not.

Even Gu Laoliu himself was confused. Is he so capable?

Everyone unanimously quickened their actions, quickly filled up the carts and asked Mingyue to stop talking, she couldn't stand it anymore...

Gu Mingwei had already secretly covered his face and retreated. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, his old face would turn red. Don't doubt it, it would be so embarrassing!

Bai Zhonghuai really couldn't stand this girl's self-promotion.

If you have something to say, just say it directly. There is no need to beat around the bush. The key is that there are people in the Bai family who actually believe it.

How shameful!!!

He pointed across the street and said meaningfully, "The houses in your village are quite old."

Gu Mingyue said without any embarrassment, "Although the houses in the village are a bit run-down, many of them are ancient buildings, passed down from our ancestors. Although we are not a wealthy family, we are still a family of scholars. We happened to be in troubled times and had no choice. Fortunately, we have saved up a family business so that our descendants can have a place to stay."

When the Bai family heard this, they looked at Gujia Village again, as if it were covered with a filter, and it looked even more pleasing to the eye.

Bai Zhonghuai and Bai Yanqing kept saying, "Just wait, this girl is definitely not holding back her farts."

Bai Yanqing laughed and said, "It's okay. Seeing that she mentioned their village in every word, I think she wants to seek benefits for the village. It's just the things in the factory. It won't be a problem."

Bai Zhonghuai said unhappily, "This little girl always has to quibble. I won't stop helping her. It would be fine if you said something serious, but she has the nerve to brag, and I am embarrassed to listen to her. But, look at those idiots in our family, they took it seriously. It makes me so angry."

"Haha, Dad, you just found out that Mingyue is used to figuring out everything. She must be worried about a one-time deal with us. I quite admire this girl's wit.

This is fine, don't you want your family to get closer to her? Actually, if you think about it, her behavior is not just a mean first and a gentleman later;

You have to put in the right chips to get what you deserve. Didn't you also teach me that only when interests are equal can we get along in the long run? Otherwise, if we always pay one-sidedly, the balance will be lost sooner or later."

If Gu Mingyue knew the conversation between the father and son, she would definitely be glad that she had always been cautious.

No matter what era, advanced or backward, there will always be no shortage of smart people in the world.
