Chapter 112: Add an extra chicken drumstick

Not long after Gu Xingzhao left the community, he met Li Ling. She remembered that Aunt Li did not live there.

"Aunt Li, where are you going?"

When Li Ling saw Gu Xingzhao, she subconsciously pulled the bag of medicine in her hand back and said with a smile, "I need to go to Director Lu for some matters at the institute. Are you ready to go back after dinner?"

Because usually people from the village would come to Lu Bingwen in the evening to talk about work matters, and Lu was going to retire early, so he must have a lot of things to do.

Gu Xingzhao had no doubts, "Well, then you should go quickly, it's getting late."

Li Ling walked towards the gate of the community carrying the medicine bag and couldn't help but call out to Gu Xingzhao, "Little Gu."

Gu Xingzhao stopped and looked back at her, "?"

Li Ling was struggling in her heart. She wanted to tell Gu Xingzhao about Lu Bingwen's illness and persuade him to receive treatment, but she remembered the death of Mr. Gu.

It was also in the town hospital that year that Gu Xingzhao watched the old man go from being able to eat, drink and laugh to being unconscious and unable to even take liquid food. In the end, after struggling, he chose to give up treatment.

The old man was the last relative for Gu Xingzhao at that time.

Today, Lu Bingwen treats Gu Xingzhao just like old man Gu did back then. Lu Bingwen just doesn't want the little girl to go through the torture he experienced back then again.

Why should I be the bad guy? Never mind.

Li Ling: "Spend more time with Lu when you have time. He always treats you as his daughter."

Gu Xingzhao was slightly stunned, then smiled with the corners of his mouth curved, "I know."

Watching Gu Xingzhao walk away, Li Ling sighed. If they spent more time together now, perhaps she would feel better when she recalled it in the future.

After returning home, Gu Xingzhao felt a little heavy in the heart. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that Lu Bingwen was a little strange tonight and talked extra much.

But soon, she dispelled her worries. Uncle Lu might be going to retire early and was not in a good mood. She should spend more time with him these days.

Gu Xingzhao took the fully charged reader and power bank and went back to ancient times.

Because there is no reader, Shunyu is practicing calligraphy tonight just like Lu Youtang.

Lu Youtang's handwriting is still not good, and Lu Qing is teaching her now, trying to urge his granddaughter to write as well as his eldest grandson.

Gu Xingzhao stood behind Shunyu and found that Shunyu's handwriting was much better than before, and the strokes had a sharper edge that was not there before.

At the side, Liu Xiangbai lowered his eyes and looked at the words Shunyu had just written, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes, "Your Highness's handwriting is getting more and more beautiful."

Shunyu was delighted. Mr. Liu had always been stingy with compliments. This was the first time he had praised him in such a long time. He couldn't help but smile, "It's because of my good teaching."

Only then did Gu Xingzhao realize that Shunyu's calligraphy had been guided by Liu Xiangbai.

Liu Xiangbai's eyes darkened slightly, and his voice lowered, "Your Highness."

Shunyu was stunned for a moment, and instantly realized that he was showing his joy. He immediately restrained the smile on his face, lowered his head to continue practicing calligraphy, and went over the teacher's instructions in his mind again.

Looking at this scene, Gu Xingzhao secretly sighed, he couldn't even laugh, it was so strict.

She stuffed the reader and power bank in her hand into Shunyu's schoolbag next to her, and got up to walk around and take a look around.

At this time, Lu Qing was sitting on the wheelchair and was reluctant to get down. The clan members around him were envious but did not dare to act rashly, after all, the old man was the head of the family.

Lu Xingyao sat aside, staring at his grandfather with indignant eyes.

The old man only needs to sit for a day or two during the day, and he is reluctant to move his butt at night, not afraid of hurting his butt.

As he thought about it, he held his cheeks with his hands, full of resentment, like a nagging woman.

Gu Xingzhao was sitting in front of him, and looking at his appearance, it was hard to associate him with the words Mo Li said, "gentle as jade, and very elegant."

She suddenly remembered that when she first hadn't met the Lu family, she also thought that Lu Xingyao was quite charming. After all, he was the most distinguished young master in the capital, noble and talented.

At that time, he was still taking care of his sick third uncle. What a steady young man he was.

Gu Xingzhao sighed immediately, "Hey, why is it this conspicuous bag now?"

Sure enough, people still need some distance to create beauty.

Thinking of this, she looked at Lu Xingyan in the distance. He was sitting there with eyes like autumn water. Perhaps he was not feeling well, so his brows were slightly furrowed. However, his every move revealed the upbringing and demeanor of a child from a noble family. Even now, when he was down and out, the prison uniform could not hide his calm temperament.

This is the truly gentle and refined gentleman like Jade. Just looking at him makes me want to tie him up and bully him.

Gu Xingzhao took out a fruit from somewhere and put it into his mouth. He didn't know which greedy girl would be able to eat such a good thing in the future.

At this time, Lu Yang, who was trying to perform magic tricks to make his wife happy, couldn't find any fruit anywhere, and was confused, "???"

Gone?

Mrs. Xu waited for a long time, and seeing that her husband couldn't even fart, she simply pulled her daughter into the tent and prepared to sleep.

Lu Yang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He had to exchange two buckets of instant noodles with the petty official to get this fruit!

Where can I go? Is it possible that I have seen a ghost?

The next day, Gu Xingzhao made an appointment with Mo Li to discuss cooperation with her.

Mo Li was surprised to learn that Gu Xingzhao was about to open a large supermarket. He looked at Gu Xingzhao with admiration in his eyes, "Opening a large supermarket is not an easy task. You are really courageous!"

You know, in small cities, small supermarkets are more suitable, as large supermarkets are more likely to suffer losses and go bankrupt.

Gu Xingzhao admired Mo Li instead, "You are the one with the courage. Not everyone dares to take over a thousand acres of land."

He was confident. Even if he lost the money in his hands, He Zhen's fireworks shop was still making money, and he was constantly sending him precious treasures and paintings. These antiques could be exchanged for money with Xu Shisan.

But Mo Li actually owns a thousand acres of land, and on her shoulders are the people from several villages, as well as all the people who work for her. If she makes the slightest mistake, she will lose everything, or even be saddled with huge debts, and everyone will go hungry.

She asked herself, she definitely didn't have the courage to do that.

Mo Li touched his nose, a little embarrassed. "My dad was the one who was courageous. He persuaded people from several villages and selected seeds and seedlings. It was really difficult to negotiate all kinds of cooperation. I just took over from him. It's nothing."

She felt that she was just enjoying the fruits of her father's labor.

"By the way, what you just said is completely fine. I'll have someone draft a contract when I get back. You can choose the varieties yourself. When the supermarket opens, I'll officially supply you with it daily. We can discuss the price."

Gu Xingzhao: "No problem."

After talking with Mo Li, Gu Xingzhao went to meet with other people and discussed the cooperation one by one. She also went to see the supermarket that day. The decoration was almost finished and the effect was far beyond expectations.

Seeing that things were going more smoothly than she had imagined, she was extremely happy. On the way home, she glanced at the system panel and saw that everyone was hungry, so she immediately ordered dozens of duck leg rice dishes at the restaurant.

Gu Xingzhao was selfish and reminded him, "By the way, add an extra chicken leg to the two lunch boxes and put a note on it for me."
