After the Dragon Boat Festival, it officially enters summer, and the weather is getting hotter every day.Not only is it hot, but mosquitoes are like eating people at night.

Although a mosquito net was hung on the bed and wormwood was smoked before going to bed, Gu Fengyan and Huo Duan still woke up every morning with red bumps all over their bodies, itchy and painful.

Huo Xiuling and Jiang Xuerui are skillfully moving tables and taking books, ready to start a day's work.Gu Fengyan rolled up his sleeves and was washing the remaining medicinal materials. There were red marks all over his white and tender arms, which looked horrifying.

"Yo... What's wrong with Brother Yan's hand?" Huo Xiuling was startled, and looked at his arm.

Gu Fengyan vomited bitterly, "Auntie doesn't know, the house is close to the woods, and the mosquitoes can eat people at night, and there are not many good places for Huo Duan and me to bite the whole body."

Huo Xiuling glanced at Huo Duan, there were the same bite marks on his neck and arms.

"Isn't there a mosquito net?" she asked.

Gu Fengyan scooped up the washed herbs, "Where can it be? It's just hung up before the Dragon Boat Festival, but it's useless."

Huo Xiuling heard this, but there was no way to solve it.It was Jiang Xuerui who said: "When I was a child, my hometown was by the water, there were many mosquitoes, and every summer there was no trace of goodness all over my body. My aunt could make toilet water and put some on to avoid torture... But I don't like this recipe. I know, but I can ask about it when I return to my mother’s house some other day.”

Jiang Xuerui's family is in the next village, but not far away, so he can go back to his family's house from time to time.

Gu Fengyan thought of this, and said to Jiang Xuerui: "I forgot that Brother Rui is from her mother's family and from the next village. This is great, Huo Duan and I happen to have something to ask you for."

The day before yesterday, Gu Fengyan and Huo Duan talked about expanding their business to several neighboring villages, but they were not familiar with the neighboring villages, so if they interrupted rashly, no one would trust them.

Now it's all right, with Jiang Xuerui around, the chance of success will be great.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Xuerui asked after hearing the words, putting down his work.

Gu Fengyan called Huo Duan, and several people sat around the table for a small meeting.

Huo Duan cleared his throat and said: "Auntie and Brother Rui help us all day long, and I know it. Although it is not obvious these days, the medicinal materials sent by the villagers are getting less and less every day. Brother Yan and I will combine the business Expand to several neighboring villages..."

Huo Xiuling and Jiang Xuerui couldn't stop nodding after hearing this. Those who are in charge of collecting and managing medicinal materials naturally know that the amount of medicinal materials delivered every day...is less than the previous days, not only less, but the quality is not very good.

Gu Fengyan continued: "Huo Duan and I don't move around very much on weekdays, and we don't know much about the nearby villages. If we say so rashly that we want to recruit workers, no one will believe the appointment. We just think that it will be safer if someone recommends us as a guarantee."

Looking at Jiang Xuerui with a smile, "I just don't know if Brother Rui is willing to help us with this."

Jiang Xuerui himself is working for the Huo family, getting paid by others, and they all know the basics, so he is very willing to help.

"That's how it is," Jiang Xuerui smiled with lowered eyes, "It's simple, I will let you guys know next time when I go back to my mother's house, and then we will go together."

"Then thank Brother Rui first." Gu Fengyan thanked.

After the matter was finished, the villagers also came, with baskets in their arms and baskets on their backs, which were full of medicinal materials.Huo's courtyard fell into a busy situation again.

In a few days, Jiang Xuerui will go back to her mother's house. It is said that his sister-in-law gave birth to a daughter, who is in confinement, so she wants to go back and visit her.

Shen Zhuo had work that day, so he couldn't leave, so only Gu Fengyan and Huo Duan followed.The two brought a basket of eggs laid by the family's hen and a bag of brown sugar.

Jiang Xuerui's family's village is in the south of Heqing Village, and the journey is not far away. They set off at six o'clock in the morning and arrived just after noon.

There are mostly paddy fields in this village, and there are green rice seedlings everywhere, with tassels bursting, and the wind blows waves of fragrance that only rush into the nostrils.Jiang Xuerui's home is in the middle of the village, and he met many villagers along the way, looking at Gu Fengyan and Huo Duan curiously, and Jiang Xuerui said hello from time to time.

"The yard in front is my home." After passing a rice field, Jiang Xuerui pointed to a yard at the foot of the mountain not far away and said to them.

The Jiang family is considered a well-to-do family in the village. The back of the house is covered with large green tiles, the earthen walls are neat and tidy, and the two knockers on the wooden door are made of copper.

Before the few people turned up the slope, the gate of the courtyard opened, and an elegant and gentle middle-aged man came out. He squinted his eyes for a moment, and he caught sight of Jiang Xuerui.

"Little Daddy!" Jiang Xuerui waved at the middle-aged man, and ran up at once.

He Chaolin was stunned for a moment, only to realize that it was his youngest son who had returned.

"Rui'er, why are you back... Didn't you see Boy Shen?" He pulled Jiang Xuerui and said happily, but saw two strange brothers behind his son, "These two are..."

Jiang Xuerui was spoiled and grew up, now she is shaking He Chaolin's arm like a child, "I'm coming back to see my sister-in-law and my little niece, is my little daddy unhappy?"

"Why are you unhappy, your father misses you every day." He Chaolin said with a fond smile.

Jiang Xuerui was next to him, and then remembered to introduce Gu Fengyan and Huo Duan, "Shen Zhuo couldn't get away from work, these two are my boss and they are from the same village, they came to our village to recruit people to help them go up the mountain Gather the medicinal materials... Later, you ask Dad to take us to meet Li Zheng."

Gu Fengyan and Huo Duan introduced themselves to He Lao Chaolin with a smile, and then gave him the things they were holding.

After the two explained, He Chaolin realized that the two were the bosses of the medicinal materials business, and they came to the village to recruit workers.

"Since he is Rui Ge'er's boss, I'm afraid I don't take care of him. You just come here, why are you spending so much money?" He opened the courtyard door and brought the three of them into the house.

Apart from Jiang Xuerui's older brother, the Jiang family and his wife also had a man named Jiang Ze'an. Jiang Xuerui came back this time to see his wife.

He Chaolin introduced him to Jiang Xuerui's father, Jiang Yue.

The whole family was extremely kind, and after greeting the two of them for dinner, they took them to the main house in the village.

Before coming here, Gu Fengyan was really worried, separated by mountains and villages, and didn’t know how the folk customs in this village were. The two of them from other villages came here to recruit workers for a while. If they were going to pretend to be here, how could they do it? .

However, when he reached the main entrance of the village, Gu Fengyan was startled.

The house in front of me is a dilapidated little thatched house. Chickens, ducks, rabbits, a cat and a dog are raised in the fence. There is also a lotus in full bloom in the clay pot under the eaves. with speech bubbles.

"Lizheng! Is anyone at home? Someone is looking for you." Jiang Yue led a group of people into the yard carelessly.

There was a sound of agreement in the room, and a boy of eighteen or nineteen years old ran out with his sleeves rolled up and his face covered in soot.

"Uncle Shen is looking for me, you should call me Lu boy... Call me Lizheng, it sounds like a 80-[-]-year-old old man." The young man smiled brightly and wiped the soot on his face.

Seeing Jiang Xuerui again, he obediently called Brother Xuerui.

Gu Fengyan always thought that such a job as Li Zheng was done by serious and upright middle-aged talents, but he did not expect it to be such a young man.

He thought it was quite amusing.

Seeing that his face was covered with soot, Jiang Yue asked, "What are you messing with?"

Gu Jue smiled with a row of big white teeth, and scratched his head embarrassingly, "I'm cooking, what's the matter with Uncle Jiang?"

Jiang Yue didn't care about him anymore, and just introduced Gu Fengyan and Huo Duan to Gu Jue, "These two are the medicine bosses from Heqing Village next door. They said they came to see you for something, so I brought them here... Cheng, they came to me I'll be back, and you guys are chatting."

After Jiang Yue finished speaking, he left, calling Gu Fengyan and Huo Duan to go home after discussing.

"Meet Gu Lizheng." The two introduced themselves respectively.

Gu Jue was overwhelmed by the flattery, washed his face with water from the side, and then grinned at Gu Fengyan, "What a coincidence, my surname is also Gu, maybe we were in the same family many years ago."

Gu Fengyan thought his smile was funny, so he pulled Huo Duan and whispered, "I see that this place is young, so maybe this thing can be done."

Huo Duan frowned, but didn't respond... From the very first time he entered the yard, he found that this young Li Zheng had been looking after Fengyan as if nothing.

Another person who was confused by Gu Fengyan's appearance.

Sure enough, in the next second, Gu Jue scratched his head and smiled sincerely at Gu Fengyan, "You are really good-looking, the most beautiful person I have ever seen in my mother's womb."

Huo Duan's face immediately stinks, wishing to hide Gu Fengyan so that no one can see him, only he can see.

Gu Fengyan smiled and was about to thank you.Huo Duan turned sideways, half blocked him, and turned to Gu Jue with a cold face, "Thank you for the compliment, my wife is indeed the most unique person in the world."

He almost gritted his teeth when he said the word "neizi".

Gu Jue is a simple person and has no sense of propriety. He doesn't think much, he wants to praise anyone who looks good, and puts on a bad face when he sees someone who doesn't like it.

Once in the county, he saw a lady with a very unique hairpin, and he asked someone to praise and discuss it for a while... The lady was happy, but the face of the man next to the lady was darker than the bottom of the pot, if it wasn't for the fear of the lady Being there, it was almost necessary to put some color on Gu Jue's handsome face.

To put it bluntly, he is called simple-minded, but to put it bluntly, he has no winks and no sense of propriety.

He suffered a lot for this.

However, Gu Jue didn't do it on purpose, he really couldn't see it.

For example, he doesn't understand why Huo Duan has a bad face. Shouldn't he be happy when others praise his wife for her beauty?

Gu Jue scratched her head, and didn't go into the details, just smiled and said: "It turns out that the two are husband and wife, I really can't tell at all."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Duan's blood flowed backwards, and he almost went up to beat him.

Is this person short-sighted?

Gu Fengyan supported his forehead, how did this child grow so big...

"Gu Lizheng, Huo Duan and I are here mainly because we have business matters to discuss with you." Seeing that the momentum was not right, Gu Fengyan hurriedly changed the subject.

Gu Jue took the bench and asked the two to sit down, "I heard Uncle Jiang said that you two are in the medicine business? Could it be that's why you came here?"

Gu Fengyan nudged Huo Duan, who was sulking, with his elbow, "Boss Huo said."

Almost mad at Gu Jue, the unlucky boy, Huo Duan pulled his face and refused to say a word to him.

Gu Jue really didn't know how to wink. Seeing Huo Duan's unkind expression, he was very concerned, "It's hot today, Boss Huo must be suffering from heat stroke, right?"

Huo Duan's face darkened even more.

"It's nothing, Li Zheng doesn't have to worry, let me say a few words to him." Gu Fengyan hurriedly laughed, and pulled Huo Duan to carry him.

I thought, this is not okay.

Although Gu Jue, the unlucky kid, doesn't know how to wink, if he cooperates with them in the future, how can he hurt his peace? For the sake of money, they should be patient.

Gu Fengyan really felt that sometimes Huo Duan's heart was smaller than the eye of a needle... His face was so stinky, but it was because Gu Jue praised him for his beauty in front of his husband.

He also said that the two did not look like a couple.

To put it bluntly, it's jealous...it's quite cute.

Since he said that they are not like a couple, then he will coax them.

Gu Fengyan came up with a plan, and whispered softly to Huo Duan's ear, "Be good, don't be angry."
