Chapter 176: A little opportunity is enough to reveal the cat's tail!

Wu Shuhui nodded slightly, her eyes full of gratitude.

'You've worked hard these past few days, Lao Bai.'

Uncle Guang's full name is Bai Guang, and apart from Ji Guangsheng, the only other person in the world who can call him Lao Bai is Wu Shuhui.

'Don't worry, Mrs. Wu, this is all in the job description. It's getting late, I'll go arrange dinner.'

After saying this, Uncle Guang bowed and took a few steps back before walking out the ward door.

Meanwhile, Gu Chen had already bought the meat buns and arrived home with Tang Tang.

He was now sitting with Tang Tang on the floor of the front room, looking at the cordyceps. It had only been a day, but the cordyceps had already grown another centimetre.

Gu Chen reckoned that if things continued like this, the plant would be fully mature in less than two days.

By then, he would have made a fortune.

At that moment, Tian Laosi slowly returned on the bus.

He didn't come back late because of the wolfberry business, but because it was rare for him to go to the city, he went for a stroll.

Before he knew it, the afternoon was gone.

As soon as he entered the village, he walked towards Gu Chen's house.

Gu Chen was still daydreaming about Cordyceps, when there was a knock on the door.

Hearing the sound, the little girl nervously tugged on Gu Chen's sleeve, 'Dad, it's the knocker.'

Gu Chen nodded, "Sit here and wait for Dad, I'll be right back.'

He then stood up with a slap on his buttocks, and said, "If anyone comes looking for me, it'll be Tian Laosi.'

He opened the door and sure enough, it was Tian Laosi.

'Fourth Brother, how was your day?' Gu Chen asked with concern.

Upon hearing this, Tian Laosi frowned and thought hard.

'It was pretty smooth. That Boss Zhao was pretty nice to me, and he even gave me some Zhonghua cigarettes. It's just that he kept asking me where you got the wolfberries from.'

Tian Laosi gave a truthful account.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen's brow twitched. Look, he really took advantage of his absence.

He's so obsessed with the source of the goods, is he going to get himself in trouble when he finds it?

In fact, Gu Chen really wasn't worried, because apart from himself, no one else in the world knew where the source of the goods was.

He just felt that this was not a good situation to be in, because after all, his goods just appeared out of thin air.

He didn't know what to think.

It seemed that he had to speed up the process of buying land.

Once you have land, you can grow your own food and sell it yourself. No one can do anything about it.

At this point, Tian Laosi hesitated again.

'Anyway, he asked in great detail, asking where your home is and if I have been to your garden. I feel that this Mr. Zhao seems to be particularly curious, and I don't know what he really wants. So I came back as soon as I could to let you know.'

Tian Laosi is not stupid, and he vaguely feels that something is not quite right.

But he can't put his finger on it, so he can only tell Gu Chen the truth so that he can be more careful.

They say that people in business are full of tricks, and he is really afraid that Gu Chen has been tricked.

Gu Chen reached out and patted Tian Laosi on the shoulder, and laughed, 'Fourth Brother, you've worked hard.'

This Lao Zhao, I really underestimated him. I thought that after signing the equity contract, he would give up the idea of finding out about my supply sources, but I didn't expect him to give up so easily.

Looks like I need to give him a good scolding.

'What do you mean I've worked hard? Thanks to you, I've had a big round trip in the city today,' Tian Laosi said with a sheepish grin.

To be honest, he has only been to the city twice in the past few years.

He doesn't have time to farm on his own, and when he says that just buying a few things in the city costs dozens of yuan, and with his little money he still has to feed himself, where does he have the spare money to go to the city?

If it weren't for Gu Chen, he really wouldn't have the chance to go to the city.

It's true that there is a lot of stuff in the city, and it's really good.

He also bought Yan Yan two catties of strawberries.

After he finished talking, he handed over the bag containing the two catties of strawberries in his hand, 'You get a basin and give some to Tang Tang.'

Gu Chen always brings food for his family, so when he buys something expensive, he has to give some to Gu Chen's family.

It's not much, but it's a token of his heart.

Tian Laosi is really happy, and he smiles when he speaks.

Gu Chen smiles along, 'Then wait for me a moment.'

After saying this, Gu Chen went into the kitchen and took out the other part of the cherries he had picked himself that morning. These were originally reserved for Tang Tang, but he was now going to give them to Tian Laosi.

Just for his sincerity towards him.

No matter how much he gives, he is happy to do so.

Seeing Gu Chen carrying a basin of 'plums' out, Tian Laosi blinked and felt a moment of embarrassment.

He had originally thought that strawberries were already considered hard to buy in this season.

Unexpectedly, Gu Chen bought plums.

He had originally intended to give fruit out of goodwill, but now suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Gu Chen walked over and smiled at Tian Laosi.

'Fourth Brother, these are a new variety of cherries. Go back and try them for the child and sister-in-law, they taste good.'

Hearing that they were cherries, Tian Laosi's eyes widened instantly, and the expression on his face was one of surprise.

Oh my!

Cherries!

Today he asked, and it's twelve yuan per catty, which is simply expensive!

And the size is not even half as big as Gu Chen's, and Gu Chen's is this big, I wonder how much more expensive it is!

Compared like this, the good thing he thought he had suddenly became unappealing.

Tian Laosi licked his lips, a little embarrassed.

'Chen Zi.'

He was never good with words, and after all this, he didn't know what to say.

Seeing him a little awkward,

Gu Chen laughed heartily, reached into his plastic bag, took a strawberry, and stuffed it into his mouth. He grinned broadly at Tian Laosi, 'It's really sweet!'

After saying that, he shouted in surprise towards the front room, 'Tantan, come quickly, your fourth uncle has brought you strawberries!'

Hearing the word strawberry, the little one, who had been playing with the dirt, suddenly perked up. Without saying a word, he got up and ran outside.

Strawberries!

She wants to eat strawberries!

Tian Laosi didn't expect that Gu Chen would like his strawberries. He let out a sigh of relief and then laughed.

'Look at you, the child was playing nicely, why did you call her?'

Gu Chen laughed impatiently, 'Look what you said, such a delicious thing, how could I bear not to call her out?'

This was actually said for Tian Laosi to hear.

The strawberries were the size of a little finger, and some were still half red and half white, so they didn't look sweet at all.

How could they be tasty?

He was just trying to make Tian Laosi happy.

Life is not easy for Laosi, and he knows that Laosi appreciates his kindness. But two grown men can't just sit on the ground and say things like 'thank you,' that would be too sentimental.

So he can only do this to make him happy.

Of course, Gu Chen was also very happy.

Who wouldn't be happy when someone treats them sincerely and considers them a brother?

The little guy ran out of the front room happily, holding out his little hand covered in mud.

'Uncle Si, Strawberry, Sugar Sugar wants to eat strawberries.'
