Era: The naive beauty charmed the villain!

After tidying up the house, Gu Qingsong put on a thick coat and went out.

These days, because of the cold weather and the Lunar New Year, people in the village are staying at home, occasionally visiting relatives, and not going to work.

Gu Qingsong finally had some free time to deal with things in town.

Braving the cold wind, I arrived at a small courtyard in town, where a group of brothers were playing cards.

Although it was during the Chinese New Year, they did not let their guard down. Even when they were playing cards, they left someone to keep watch.

Therefore, as soon as Gu Qingsong entered the courtyard, Li Hongjun opened the gate to greet him.

"Brother Gu, come inside and warm up!"

Not long after Gu Qingsong left the village, it started snowing lightly again. The snow fell heavier and heavier along the way, and by then it had turned into a heavy snowfall.

Li Hongjun took the bicycle from Gu Qingsong and parked it properly under the shed by the courtyard wall.

Gu Qingsong stood under the eaves, stomped his feet to shake off the snow, took a dry towel from one of his brothers, and dusted off the snowflakes before going inside.

As soon as you enter the room, a wave of heat hits you. The men, young and old, are all wearing thin clothes and sitting around a table with a pile of playing cards on it.

Upon seeing Gu Qingsong enter, they all stood up.

"Brother Gu!"

"Brother Gu."

"..."

"Brother Gu, let me get you some water!"

Gu Qingsong greeted the person, took off his thick coat, and hung it on the hook behind the door.

Li Hongjun followed him in, took the warm water poured by one of his brothers, and handed it to Gu Qingsong.

Gu Qingsong took the warm water and drank more than half of it in one gulp.

Although I was dressed warmly, there was a headwind on my way here today.

Braving the heavy snow and pedaling against the wind for so long, I didn't feel cold, but I was definitely thirsty.

After a flurry of activity, everyone sat back down around the table and started playing cards again.

Gu Qingsong didn't have anything important to do in town today.

Before the Lunar New Year, they had already mobilized all their staff and managed to sell off almost all of their stockpiled goods.

During the Lunar New Year, each brother received his share of money and supplies and enjoyed a prosperous year.

There's been nothing much going on in the last few days after the New Year; it's just been sorting out inventory and shipping out a few goods here and there.

However, the Lantern Festival is just around the corner, and although it is still freezing cold, it is time for them to get busy again.

Another batch of goods arrived today, and Gu Qingsong came here to help look after them.

Although these brothers had followed him for many years and were all very clever, Gu Qingsong was at ease even if he entrusted everything to them.

But Gu Qingsong would try his best to attend whenever he had free time.

Maybe it's just because I'm used to it.

In the beginning, their team didn't have that many people; it only included Li Hongjun and two other brothers who worked with Gu Qingsong.

When things get busy, we often don't have enough manpower.

However, the business they run demands that they absolutely cannot afford to make any mistakes.

Even the smallest mistake could cost them their lives.

To avoid making mistakes when busy, important tasks are usually done at night.

If something happens that day, even during the busy farming season, after a long day of hard work.

Even if Gu Qingsong doesn't rest, he will still insist on going to the town to take a look.

Although things are much better now than they were back then, the habits have already been formed.
