Chapter 72： Keep a secret

Chapter 72 Keeping Secrets

Because they all thought that the person who wanted to do business was Gu Rong, the Pei family didn't ask much, so Pei Tiantian just passed by.

Hearing what Xie Jiagui said after eating, he wanted to go to Gu Rong's house and take away ten kilograms of vegetables.

Pei Tiantian secretly said something bad.

Gu Rong definitely didn't grow vegetables at home. If Xie Jiagui just left like this, he would definitely find something wrong.

So Pei Tiantian got off the table early and sneaked to Gu Rong's house in advance.

As soon as he entered Gu Rong's house, he saw that the backyard that was originally overgrown with weeds had been cleaned up, a large area of ​​land had been cleared, and the soil had even been turned over. The soil looked very loose.

Pei Tiantian was a little confused.

Is it possible that Gu Rong really wants to farm, but she got it wrong.

Pei Tiantian stopped thinking so much and quickly entered the space to find some seasonal vegetables. Tomatoes, cucumbers, spring bamboo shoots, leeks, eggplants, loofah, etc. were thrown into the yard and piled up into a hill.

After estimating that it was about ten kilograms, Pei Tiantian ran out, never thinking that Gu Rong and Xie Jiagui had already arrived at the door of the house.

Xie Jiagui looked at Pei Tiantian in surprise, "Why did the little girl come here?"

“Uncle Xie, I’m here to help you pick vegetables.”

Pei Tiantian opened her grape eyes innocently and pointed at the vegetables on the ground.

“Tiantian is so sensible and well-behaved.”

Xie Jiagui touched Pei Tiantian's little head.

Then he squatted in the yard and looked at the vegetables on the ground.

Every vegetable is juicy and smells delicious. A smile spread across Xie Jiagui's face, "Not bad, so fresh!"

Gu Rong took out a backpack and gave it to him.

Xie Jiagui took the basket and started to load the vegetables, filling the basket full.

“I’m afraid these weigh more than ten kilograms.” Xie Jiagui weighed the weight of the backpack.

“It’s okay, Uncle Xie, just count it as ten pounds.”

Pei Tiantian said quickly.

Xie Jiagui looked at Pei Tiantian, and then at Gu Rong, who had been showing no reaction at the side like an outsider. He smiled and said, "Looking at how active you are as a little girl, I don't know, I thought you were doing business." It’s you.”

Pei Tiantian blinked guiltily, "Brother Gu Rong's business is my business, of course I will be active!"

Xie Jiagui looked at Gu Rong's silent expression and remembered that the Pei family had no intention of revealing Gu Rong's life experience to him. He sighed in his heart that he was also a poor child. No wonder he had to grow his own vegetables, presumably just to make more money.

“What do you think of fifty cents per catty?” Xie Jiagui said.

Pei Tiantian opened her mouth in surprise.

Xie Jiagui is really a down-to-earth person.

Vegetables are very cheap now. She originally planned to sell them at a flat price of 30 cents per catty.

Unexpectedly, Xie Jiagui offered a price of 50 cents per catty.

“Uncle Xie is so generous!” Pei Tiantian said happily.

 Gu Rong agreed when he saw her, and when Xie Jiagui asked him, he also nodded in agreement.

Xie Jiagui stuffed five yuan into Gu Rong's hand and left with the basket on his back.

Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong were left in the yard.

Gu Rong came over and put five yuan into Pei Tiantian's pocket, his face as calm as ever.

“Brother Gu Rong, are you wondering now, where do all those dishes come from?”

Pei Tiantian touched her little pocket and said cautiously.

Gu Rong's eyes were so dark that it was difficult to see his emotions clearly. The little girl in front of her looked a little embarrassed. She hesitated for a long time before speaking: "In short, these dishes were not stolen or robbed. Brother Gu Rong, you must never tell others that I brought out these dishes. Help me keep this secret." Is it a good secret?"

Pei Tiantian knew that her demands were a bit too much, and Gu Rong didn't know anything but still acted with her.

However, she now has an inexplicable sense of trust in Gu Rong. She always has a feeling that no matter what she does, Gu Rong will be on her side.

Gu Rong felt a little disappointed after listening to Pei Tiantian's words.

He thought Pei Tiantian would officially tell him about the space this time, but unexpectedly, Pei Tiantian chose to hide it.

Gu Rong didn’t blame her.

Everyone has a secret, Pei Tiantian has it, and so does he.

He didn’t tell Pei Tiantian that he could hear other people’s thoughts.

However, what Pei Tiantian is doing now is still a bit dangerous.

A five-year-old child can transform into so many things out of thin air. If other people knew about it, I don’t know how much waves it would cause.

Gu Rong wrote on the paper: "Okay, I promise you, I will help you keep this secret, and you will tell the outside world that I grew the vegetables."

Pei Tiantian looked at the words on the paper and smiled happily. She took Gu Rong's hand with her little fleshy hand and said with a smile: "Thank you, brother Gu Rong. I knew you would help me. I will become a thank you in the future." How about we get 50% of the money we earn from becoming a regular vegetable supplier in my uncle’s restaurant?”

Gu Rong shook his head and said no.

Pei Tiantian didn't do it, and grabbed one of Gu Rong's hands with two small fleshy paws, shaking it constantly, her eyes rolling around, "Brother Gu Rong, just agree! Anyway, you Just save money in advance and get a wife later!”

A trace of blush quietly appeared on Gu Rong's expressionless face. He turned his face away in embarrassment and nodded reluctantly.

Pei Tiantian smiled and suddenly thought of something, "Brother Gu Rong, you should also plant some vegetables in the ground in your backyard, so as to hide it from others."

Gu Rong glanced at her, took out a bag of seeds from the house, and took the bag of seeds to the backyard.

“Brother Gu Rong, it turns out you really plan to grow vegetables!”

Pei Tiantian watched in surprise as Gu Rong rolled up his trouser legs and stepped into the soil.

Gu Rong did not raise his head, but buried his head in the ground sowing seeds. After the seeds were planted, Gu Rong came out of the field and took a bucket to get a bucket of water.

When Gu Rong went to get the water ladle from the house, Pei Tiantian secretly replaced all the water in the bucket with Lingquan water.

Although the soil here is not as good as the black soil in space, as long as there are enough spiritual spring water pipes, the vegetables grown will not be much worse.

Gu Rong pretended not to know anything, came out of the house, picked up a water ladle and watered the ground.

After finishing everything, Gu Rong was so tired that he was sweating, his body was still dirty, and he was panting slightly.

After all, he is only an eight-year-old child. No matter how capable he is, his physical strength is very limited.

Pei Tiantian felt very sorry when she saw Gu Rong in such a mess.

She ran to the kitchen and poured Gu Rong a cup of spiritual spring water, and also added glucose to the enamel cup.

The moment Gu Rong took the enamel cup, he heard Pei Tiantian's heartfelt voice.

Glucose can replenish energy.

Gu Rong drank the water in the enamel cup in one gulp, and sure enough, he felt a faint sweetness lingering on the tip of his tongue.

Then Gu Rong returned to the kitchen, boiled a large pot of water to take a bath, and changed his dirty clothes.
