Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

Chapter 274 The Weak Girl of the Age 81

"Ah? Who did you say bought a house in the brigade?" Guo Zhenru looked at the person who was speaking in confusion.

"Hantuo, you... don't you know that Hantuo bought a house? It's next door to yours." Seeing that Guo Zhenru really didn't know

The aunt thought to herself: Oh no... Could it be that they are wrong...

The aunt smiled awkwardly: "Maybe we heard it wrong..." Then she quickly slipped back.

A worker in the group asked: "You are back with gossip so soon, tell me..."

"We may have guessed wrong. Miss Guo didn't even know about Hantuo's educated youth buying a house... You don't know how embarrassed I was at that time..."

"Well... we'll know in two days. Maybe the two families are hiding it..."

Wait until lunch time

Gu Jin asked tentatively, "Hantuo, I heard that you bought the yard next door? What kind of house do you plan to build?"

"I plan to build a house like yours. Uncle Tang said that we will start construction after the autumn harvest. After that, I will settle down in the brigade. It's not good to rent a house all the time." While saying this, he carefully observed Gu Nuanyi's expression.

Hantuo was a little nervous: Would Miss Gu dislike me living next door? Would she find me annoying?

Gu Jin patted Hantuo on the shoulder and said, "If you really want to settle down in Xingda Brigade, that's great! Hey, let me ask you, can you decide on your own marriage?"

Hantuo's heartbeat suddenly started beating, and he looked at Gu Jin excitedly: "Yes! I can make the decision myself!"

After saying this, he looked at Guo Zhenru again and saw Guo Zhenru looking at him with a smile on his face.

Hantuo became even more excited, and his hand holding the chopsticks began to shake unconsciously.

My heart almost jumped out of my throat.

It’s him! It’s what he was thinking!!!

Hantuo carefully glanced at Gu Nuanyi from the corner of his eye, and saw Gu Nuanyi showing him a beautiful smile and blinking at him.

"Buzz~~" Hantuo felt like someone was setting off fireworks in his head

She smiled at me... and winked at me, she is so beautiful... hehe~~

Gu Nuanyi stretched out her hand and swept it in front of Hantuo's eyes: "Hey, stop laughing and come back to your senses!!"

Han Tuo came back to his senses and subconsciously wiped the water stains from his mouth that looked like saliva...

Just when Hantuo recovered, Gu Jin's words made him jump up again.

"Hantuo, my family plans to go to your house to propose marriage after the autumn harvest."

"Really?" Hantuo jumped up and kept looking at Gu Nuanyi with a silly smile.

Seeing that everyone around was looking at him, Gu Jin quickly pressed Han Tuo down and said, "I know you are excited, but don't be excited yet. Just listen to me first."

“Yeah!” Hantuo put his hands on his knees, straightened his back, and looked at Gu Jin obediently: “Uncle Gu, you talk, I’m listening!”

"Ahem, our situations are different. My family is looking for a son-in-law, so I have to give you a betrothal gift. We have prepared 500 for the betrothal gift. In addition, the furniture and other things are all newly made by me. After you get married, I will buy you two a bicycle!"

Hantuo shook his hands repeatedly: "No... I don't want a gift..."

Guo Zhenru said seriously: "The betrothal gift is still required. Although it is reversed, the necessary procedures must be followed. This is a respect for you!"

Hantuo's nose felt sore and he nodded: "Then I'll listen to Aunt Guo!"

Gu Nuanyi sat aside, picking at the food thoughtfully.

This is the first time I've married a husband in my entire life, hehe, it feels a bit exciting for some reason...

What was the process like when I got married before? After the autumn harvest, I will take Hantuo to go through it.

But the most important thing now is to earn back the betrothal money.

If you marry a man yourself, you have to pay for it yourself.

Seeing that Gu Nuanyi was mechanically picking at the fried rice in her bowl, Hantuo picked up a piece of pork and put it in Gu Nuanyi's bowl.

Gu Nuanyi saw a piece of meat suddenly appear in the bowl, and turned her head to see Hantuo showing her eight neat teeth.

"I heard that you were not in good health. Eat more meat to replenish your body. After that, I will go to the mountains to hunt."

Gu Nuanyi also picked up a piece of meat for Hantuo

Hantuo was so happy that he ate half a bowl of rice

Gu Nuanyi thought to herself: Sure enough, it is the best dowry for a man who is obsessed with love!!!

After dinner, Gu Nuanyi packed up her things and ran up the mountain with her backpack on her back.

I pretended to search for it in the mountains, and then I found a ginseng wrapped in moss in my backpack.

Then I picked up some chestnuts and went back home.

When Gu Jin got home from work, Gu Nuanyi handed the ginseng to Gu Jin: "Dad, do you know anyone who collects medicinal herbs?"

"Oh my goodness, this ginseng looks really good. Did you find it in the mountains?"

Gu Nuanyi nodded: "Dad, Mom, since I am the one marrying Hantuo, I must pay for the bride price. I originally wanted to go to the mountains to pick up some mountain treasures and mountain products to sell at the supply and marketing cooperative, but I didn't expect to find ginseng."

"Your parents can still afford the 500 yuan betrothal gift, as long as Hantuo treats you well in the future! This ginseng is a good thing. Dad knows a barefoot doctor. Ask him to prepare it for you and keep it well!"

Gu Nuanyi said confidently: "Dad, if I can find the first ginseng, I can find the second one. Please ask the doctor if he will accept it and see if I can sell it for a good price."

Guo Zhenru tapped Gu Nuanyi's forehead and said, "You! The ginseng you picked is at least a hundred years old. After being processed, it has a very good medicinal effect. If you sell it, you may not be able to find it again!"

Gu Nuanyi scratched his head. The age of this one is too high? ? But it is already the youngest in the space. The others are either newly planted and sprouted, or so old that they can be considered antiques...

Gu Jin also nodded: "Your mother is right, this hundred-year-old ginseng is not easy to come across!"

Seeing that Gu Jin and Guo Zhenru disagreed with selling the ginseng, Gu Nuanyi had no choice but to compromise.

"Dad, Mom, if I can find a second ginseng from the mountain..."

Before Gu Nuanyi could finish her words, she was interrupted by Guo Zhenru: "My dear! This ginseng is not a big white radish, how can it be so easy to find! You don't have to worry about the betrothal gift, your parents are here!!"

Gu Jin knew his daughter well, so he just reminded her, "You can go to the mountain, but you must be careful, okay?"

"Yeah!" Gu Nuanyi patted his chest: "Dad, don't worry!!"

In order to avoid letting her parents think that ginseng was too easy to find, Gu Nuanyi went to the mountains for several days and only brought back some mountain products.

Guo Zhenru drew a basin of water and said, "Come and wash your hands. You've been so busy... If ginseng was so easy to find, those herbalists would have made a fortune long ago!"

"Mom, I believe I can find it!!"

The day before the end of the autumn harvest, Gu Nuanyi felt that the time was almost up, so she took out another one from the space, but the taste was a little worse than the previous one.

Gu Jin and Guo Zhenru were stunned when they saw the ginseng in their hands. Another one? Could it be that ginseng was growing everywhere on this mountain?

"Dad, I can sell this one now!"

Gu Jin nodded. It just so happened that when he asked the barefoot doctor to help him prepare it last time, the doctor wanted it very much.

If I hadn't repeatedly said I wouldn't sell it, the barefoot doctor would have wanted to snatch it from me...
