After Jiang Qinian and Ying Chumei returned, Wu Ruonan and Chen Yueliang sat on the platform picking leeks.
As soon as he came back, Wu Ruonan mysteriously pulled Jiang Qinian aside.
Looking at Jiang Qinian's puzzled expression, she couldn't help but find it very interesting, so after laughing twice, she whispered:
"Brother, let me ask you something."
"That's what you say."
"After Gu Xiaoman heard that we had helped so much, he insisted on treating us to a meal.
Then I saw that you and Ling Hao were boys, so I went to the supermarket in the village to pick out the most expensive bottle of wine, which cost more than two hundred!
You just gave someone two hundred, but Gu Xiaoman seems to have planned to keep the money for Mian Hu Dou, and the rest has been found in change and placed on the table.
So...should we find a way to supply her?
After all, this meal cost four hundred, which is not a small sum for her!"
Hearing this, Jiang Qinian frowned and thought for a while, then hesitantly said:
"Isn't it bad?
After all, it was her intention. If I had to give her money, would it easily cause misunderstanding?
And why didn’t you stop me?"
"Oh, my good brother, it's useless for you to tell me.
You were having sex with your sister-in-law just now, and I was picking vegetables here again. How do Ling Hao and Yue Yue, two silly kids, know anything about worldliness?
When I come back, Gu Xiaoman will already have a bunch of things."
Seeing Wu Ruonan's appearance, Jiang Qinian also smiled and said:
"Okay, you're not as big as the moon.
Let’s do this. I’ll discuss it with Chumei later and figure out how to do it without hurting others’ feelings.”
"No need to discuss, I have a solution."
Just as he was talking, Ying Chumei's voice came from the side.
Seeing this, Wu Ruonan also hugged the other party, and then asked curiously:
"Sister-in-law, what can I do? Just tell me!"
"Okay, okay, stop making trouble and keep it a secret for now. You will know in a moment."
After saying that, he walked into the house without looking back.
Jiang Qinian and Wu Ruonan looked at each other and then walked into the house.
Everyone was busy working together, so it didn't take long for the delicious dishes to be put on the table.
In order to make the environment a little brighter, Gu Xiaoman reluctantly replaced the old light bulb and installed a brand new one.
After everything was ready, several people sat down around the table.
The pot of pork vermicelli in the middle was steaming with heat, and the constant aroma made Wu Ruonan and Chen Yueliang salivate. If it weren't for the fact that they were at Gu Xiaoman's house, the two of them would have been unable to resist using their chopsticks.
.
Seeing this happy scene, Gu Xiaoman's sad mood was also dissipated a lot.
She pondered for a moment, then raised her glass and said:
"Mr. Jiang, Miss Ying, and several guests, I would like to thank you for your kindness. I, Gu Xiaoman, am not very good at talking, but I also know how to repay a favor. Today I would like to toast you all."
Such a great kindness, I dare not forget it in this lifetime!"
As he spoke, he drank all the white wine in the glass.
But when had her girl ever drank such strong alcohol?
Therefore, the moment the wine entered his throat, Gu Xiaoman coughed violently, and his pale face turned a little rosy, like a ripe apple.
Seeing this situation, Jiang Qinian also spoke out to dissuade him:
"Miss Gu, there is no need to drink so much.
In fact, we don’t drink much on weekdays, but today’s wine is really fragrant, so we couldn’t help but drink one or two Gu.”
At this time, Gu Xiaoman had just finished drinking the water handed over by Wu Ruonan.
She wiped the corners of her mouth and then laughed.
"You can drink as much as you like, I don't know what kind of wine is good.
So I picked the most expensive box, thinking it shouldn’t be too bad.”
With that said, she stood up again, filled the small wine glass in her hand, and then started to toast again.
Seeing this, Ying Chumei quickly held her arm.
"Miss Gu, you really don't have to do this.
Isn't tonight just a gathering among our friends?
Being so polite makes you alienate, doesn't it?"
"No, Miss Ying, I just don't know how to express it..."
"It doesn't have to be like this.
Friends, shouldn't they help each other?
Or...Miss Gu doesn’t regard us as friends?”
After saying this, Ying Chumei blinked her eyes mischievously, looking extremely cute.
But after Gu Xiaoman heard such words, he hurriedly explained:
"No, no, I don't regard you as friends."
"Isn't that okay?"
Ying Chumei stood up and helped her to her seat, then continued:
"Since we are friends, there is no need to be so polite."
After everyone sat down, Ying Chumei sat there thinking about something. After thinking for a while, she tentatively asked Gu Xiaoman:
"Ms. Gu, when I went to get something from the back room just now, I saw that there seemed to be high school textbooks and exercises on your table. Are you planning to take the college entrance examination?"
Hearing this, Gu Xiaoman's expression couldn't help but darken.
"I...I didn't...
I have indeed been studying. From the time I was dropped out of the first year of junior high school to now, I have not fallen behind in the courses and knowledge in the past few years. I once promised my grandma that I would get into a good university.
But...but I don’t have a diploma or a lot of things, so I can’t take the exam at all..."
Hearing this, Ying Chumei nodded thoughtfully.
"In this way, Miss Gu, if you want to take the exam, I can ask someone to help you get the certificate so that you can take the exam.
I wonder what you think?"
"this……"
To be honest, Gu Xiaoman was very moved.
But at the same time, she was heartbroken and a little confused. After all, Ying Chumei and the others helped her too much. They not only saved her several times, but also helped investigate the truth behind her grandmother's disappearance.
But on the other hand, she is so useless and can't help others.
Perhaps because he understood what she was thinking, Ying Chumei didn't ask any more questions, but directly dialed the phone.
Then, he explained the situation to the person on the other end of the phone and reported Gu Xiaoman's personal information.
After everything was done, she smiled mysteriously.
"Miss Gu, it's not necessary if you want to thank me.
It just so happens that you just celebrated your eighteenth birthday, and we came a little late, so this is just a supplementary birthday gift for you.
And...the person we are waiting for has already arrived, how about we look at another gift?"
As soon as he finished speaking, before Gu Xiaoman could say anything, there was a gentle knock on the wooden door outside the courtyard.
As soon as the door opened, a delicate figure threw herself into Ying Chumei's arms, and then said:
"Oh, my little Meimei, I miss you so much~"
After Ying Chumei pushed her away dumbfounded, everyone finally saw her appearance clearly.
She is about the same height as Ying Chumei, nearly 1.7 meters tall. Her hair is tied up casually, and her fair face is slightly rosy, which looks particularly attractive under the moonlight.
At this time, those starry eyes were blinking and looking at Jiang Qinian intently.
"Hello! Are you Jiang Qinian? My name is Xu Yuan. I often hear Chumei talking about you. Now I have met you in person!"
Seeing this, Jiang Qinian raised the corners of his lips politely, and then bowed slightly.
"I am Jiang Qinian.
Miss Xu, nice to meet you."
"Yo yo yo!
"
Xu Yuan was startled. Seeing Jiang Qinian being so gentle and polite, he couldn't help but pull Ying Chumei's sleeve, and then asked in a low voice:
"Where did you find this brother of yours?
Is there anyone of the same type that you can recommend to me?
This hurts me too much!!"
"That's it! Talk to you later!
I came to see you today for something!"
With that said, Ying Chumei turned around and introduced to several people:
"This is my best friend since childhood, Xu Yuan!
The youngest daughter of the Xu family in the capital of Zhao. Now the Xu family has business in Tianfang City, so she came over to help out for some time.
By the way, Xu Yuan, this is the Miss Gu Xiaoman I told you about."
Hearing this, Xu Yuan straightened up his appearance and then stretched out his hand.
"Hello, Miss Gu, I'm a bit of a noisy person, so I hope you'll forgive me if I'm negligent in any way."
"Ah, it's okay, it's okay, hello!"
Although Gu Xiaoman didn't understand why Ying Chumei introduced herself suddenly, she still stretched out her hand to shake Xu Yuan's hand.
"Um...you...please come in!"
If you don’t mind, why don’t we have dinner together?”
After hearing what she said, Xu Yuan also sniffed the air with her beautiful nose.
"Isn't it troublesome?
I smelled this fragrance just now, and I haven’t eaten it yet, so let’s talk while walking!”
"No trouble, no trouble, just a pair of chopsticks!"
"Then I'm welcome!"
Then, everyone walked into the house talking and laughing...
"Are you saying that I can just sell my noodles to you directly from now on?"
"Exactly!"
While talking, Xu Yuan also picked up two chicken legs, put one in Gu Xiaoman's bowl, and ate the other one by himself.
"I wonder if you know Tang Yuan No. 1?"
"I...I know!"
Tangyuan No. 1 is the supermarket chain with the largest number in Tianfang City. How could Gu Xiaoman not know about it?
"That's good, that's my family's business here, but it's too far away, so I left it to me.
When the time comes when you have made the noodles, I will send someone to receive them directly. Then through secondary packaging and marketing methods, I will definitely be able to create a slightly famous brand.
After all, a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle~
In this way, your daily work will be much easier, and you will earn a lot more money.
So if you want, we can sign a contract."
With that said, Xu Yuan took out a document from his bag and handed it to Gu Xiaoman.
"This...this..."
"Huh? Is there anything about the contract that you're not dissatisfied with?
If there is any dissatisfaction, we can negotiate."
"No, it's not!"
Gu Xiaoman waved her hands quickly.
"You gave me too much. Although I have never done this business, I also know that the profit from supply is only about 10%. Now you are giving me 50%. It is really too much.
!」
"Oh, is this what you are referring to?
It doesn't matter, I can find a consultant at home to help me run the business, and the money I will make will not be less.
So you can rest assured, I am a businessman, how could I do such a thing that would cause a loss?"
