The peasant girl in Space is the group favorite

Chapter 99

Shopkeeper Hong said a polite word and said: "Okay! Then I will give the girl a face, [-]-[-], [-]-[-], but from now on, only our drug store can sell these pills!"

Qibao smiled and said: "That's natural. If we choose Grandpa Hong to cooperate, we will not cooperate with the second company again!"

Shopkeeper Hong started to draw up the contract. After a while, he picked it up, blew it, and handed it to Qibao. Qibao looked at it and signed his name.

Shopkeeper Hong said: "In the future, I will send someone to pick up a month's worth of pills, and then bring you the money. What do you think?"

Qibao said: "No problem!"

Seeing that the matter had been settled, the old man said: "Shopkeeper Hong, please stay at my house for lunch today. It's not too late to go back after eating!"

Shopkeeper Hong did not refuse and said, "Thank you, old man!"

Mrs. Wang and the others are very happy today. They have another profitable business at home. The few of them are very busy and energetic. They are going to make a delicious meal to entertain shopkeeper Hong at noon.

In the main room, shopkeeper Hong was chatting with the old man.

Shopkeeper Hong said: "When I came here, I saw roads being built in Xujiacun. I asked specifically about it and found out that it was your family who paid for it."

The old man smiled and said: "Yes, no matter how much you can do, if you want to get rich, you should build a road first! Once this road is built, it will be good for our family and the villagers!"

Shopkeeper Hong said: "The old man is so generous. If it were left to ordinary people's homes, they would not be able to buy a house in the town when they are rich. The whole family has moved in and lived such a comfortable life. Your family also contributed money to build roads. This It’s not a pattern that everyone has!”

The old man said: "Although it is convenient to move to the town, how do you know that those who move to the town will really live a comfortable life, while those who stay in the countryside will not live a comfortable life! I have thought about it, and I will do it for the rest of my life. Staying in Xujiacun, I won’t go anywhere!”

Shopkeeper Hong said: "Well, what the old man said is right, but my thinking is narrow-minded!"

"Shopkeeper Hong, you are a person who does big things. You are different from farmers like me. Our ancestors have lived here all our lives. This is our root. How can we leave so easily!"

Shopkeeper Hong nodded and agreed with what the old man said.

"It's still early, how about Shopkeeper Hong and I play a game of chess to pass the time?" the old man said.

"The old man can also play chess?" Shopkeeper Hong asked.

"I don't know how to play the chess you are playing, but there is a new way to play, which is simple and interesting. I wonder if Shopkeeper Hong is willing to do it?"

Shopkeeper Hong said, "Okay, let me see how this new trick works today!"

The old man brought the chessboard over and explained the rules of backgammon to Shopkeeper Hong.

Shopkeeper Hong: “This is the first time I’ve heard that you can play like this, it’s quite novel!”

The two of them started playing like this. At the beginning, Shopkeeper Hong was not familiar with the game, so he lost to the old man. Later, he would win a few games, but they would also tie.

At this time, Mrs. Wang came over and said, "The food is ready, it's time to eat!"

After hearing this, the old man said: "Then let's get down here today, let's start eating! Today I will take out the wine that I can't bear to drink and give it to Brother Hong to try!" The relationship between the two of them became more and more familiar after playing chess. They all started calling each other brothers.

"Okay, then I'd like to thank Brother Xu. I want to taste the wine that Brother Xu is reluctant to drink!"

The Xu family brought the food to the table, and shopkeeper Hong sat next to the old man. The old man took out a jar of wine and poured a full glass into shopkeeper Hong's wine glass.

Shopkeeper Hong knew that the Xu family had a special kind of wine, because last time the master brought two jars of wine back, and he was very careful and wrapped them several layers of cotton to avoid accidentally breaking them. Later, they were still with the master. Ye Feng said it was a gift from the Xu family.

He picked up the wine glass, took a sip, tasted it, and said, "It is indeed very delicious. It is indeed a fine wine. No wonder my master treasures the two jars of wine you sent me!"

"Haha, everyone who has drunk my wine, whether they are adults or children, doesn't like it! If I like it, bring a jar back and drink it slowly!" The old man said generously.

"Then thank you for your kindness. I will accept it. Next time you have time, you can go to my shop. I will treat you to a meal. I will treat it as a thank you for this beautiful wine!"

The old man smiled and said: "Brother, why are you so polite to me? From now on, you can treat this as your own home. You can come here anytime you want, and don't let anyone see you outside!"

"Okay, definitely!"

The Xu family also stood up one by one to toast shopkeeper Hong's wine, and the wine table was very lively for a while.

After the meal, shopkeeper Hong said goodbye, "Brother, I'm going back to town, and I can't leave the shop for a long time, so I'll come see you for a drink next time!"

The old man said: "Okay, let's make an agreement then. You can't not come. You can also bring this jar of wine." He handed the prepared wine to shopkeeper Hong.

After shopkeeper Hong took the wine and thanked him, he greeted the Xu family and left Xujiacun toward the town!

When Qibao returned to the room at night, he remembered the letter written by Jing Chen, so he took the letter in his hand and opened it.

I saw it said "Qibao, I have returned home safely. I have boiled ginseng soup for my grandmother to take. Her health is getting better day by day. It is all your credit. I am now in the capital. You I am far away, remember, if you encounter any difficulties, go to Shopkeeper Hong, he will try his best to help you, and you should take care of yourself, take care of yourself, don’t miss it!”

Qibao rolled his eyes after reading it, "Who missed you? You are really narcissistic." He put the letter back into the envelope, put it in the drawer, fell on the bed, and fell asleep soon.

The next day was the day for the brothers to take a break. Xiao Wu was so happy that he didn't have to go to school, running around like a little lunatic.

The old man said: "Xiaowu, you can't be like your elder brother. Your elder brother wakes up early in the morning and studies in his room. Since you don't want to go to school so much, well, you don't have to go tomorrow. I'll arrange for you to go to school with the workers." We build roads together, you eat whatever the workers eat, and you come back when they leave work, I can’t leave you at home to eat for nothing!”

When Xiao Wu heard that his grandfather was going to send him to build roads, he immediately calmed down and said: "Master said that the eldest brother will take the Tongsheng exam next year, so the eldest brother worked extra hard. I am still young and have not reached the age to take the Tongsheng exam. Woolen cloth!"

When the old man heard this, he was delighted and asked, "Xiao Wu, are you telling the truth?"

Xiao Wu said: "It's true, I heard it with my own ears!"

The old man said: "Then your eldest brother didn't come back to say anything, which makes us happy. Master allows your eldest brother to take the child examination, which means that your eldest brother is very favored by Master. This is a good thing!"

Xu Wenwu also came out of his room at this time, and went to the conversation between Xiao Wu and his grandfather, and said: "Grandpa, I didn't tell you because it's not yet time. No one can say what will happen next year! If the situation changes , it is better that few people know about it, but Xiao Wu unexpectedly said it, Xiao Wu, how did you know about this?" After all, he never told anyone.
