Chapter 41 I can’t keep this brother anymore!
Unable to wait for the double harvest to be over, the matchmaker came to the house several times, compared the horoscopes and chose an auspicious day, and just waited for the public grain payment to be made before proposing marriage.

This is all thanks to Second Uncle Pei's insistence on holding an engagement banquet when proposing, otherwise the Gu family would have been able to move even faster.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day to pay public grain, and Lingxi got up early for the first time in her life.

Lingxi has been enduring the dull pain in her soul lately, and she feels a little listless. She sleeps whenever she can, and even gives up daily tasks like digging wild vegetables and picking mushrooms for the time being.

Uncle Pei and the others were unaware of the true situation. Thinking that today was the commune fair, they planned to take Lingxi with them, just to let her go and relax.

Lingxi has indeed been quite lazy recently, and thinking that she could exchange things at the fair and most of them didn't require tickets, she became eager to try.

But she really didn't expect it to be so early.

It was just dawn at this moment, and people in the village were lighting torches as they hurried along.

Lingxi yawned and followed Pei Xuan, wandering towards the town with the village team.

People had to queue up to pay their grain tax. If they arrived too late, they would not be able to pay it on the same day and would have to wait at the grain station all night. Therefore, when it was time to pay their grain tax, it was no exaggeration for the villagers to say that they rushed to the grain station under the stars.

Lingxi, Pei Xuan and others were behind the team delivering food, and behind them was the team from Gujia Village.

At this time, Lingxi was wearing an ankle-length skirt, her hair was loosely braided into two pigtails, and some hair was left hanging on her cheeks, making her look more playful.

She was yawning and obviously not fully awake yet, looking confused and cute.

In just that moment, countless guys looked at her.

Gu Si saw it from afar and frowned slightly. He quickened his pace and grabbed the back seat of Gu Qingnan's bicycle, who was slowly following the team.

"Give me the car, you walk."

Gu Qingnan: “…”

!!!

Gu Qingnan is a formal worker in the county and a promising man in Gujia Village. In the past two years, the villagers like to ask him to join them in paying their public grain taxes. When the time comes, he will come forward to hand over a cigarette and exchange a few words. The people at the grain station will also look at him with respect. Not only will they not let him go, but they will also be less likely to deliberately make things difficult for him.

Therefore, Gu Qingnan followed the convoy as usual.

He really didn't expect...

"what?"

Even though he asked this, he still got out of the car.

Gu Qingnan and his younger brother Gu Qingbei are only a little over one year apart in age, and have had a very good relationship since childhood. However, the younger brother has been somewhat frustrated and resigned himself to his fate ever since he failed to find a job after graduating from high school.

He was busy with work and rarely came home, so the two of them met less and less.

Now he was quite happy to see his younger brother asking him for the bicycle with confidence.

Gu Si ignored him and just got on his bike and rode away.

Gu Qingnan just watched his brother park his bicycle in front of a pretty girl with a pretty back, lowered his head and smiled gently, not knowing what he said to her.

Then, he saw his unfortunate brother took out a piece of cloth from somewhere, folded it, and put it on the back seat of the car, and let the little girl sit on it.

Gu Qingnan: “…”

!!!

I can’t keep this brother anymore!
Gu Si took off Pei Xuan's straw hat, glanced at it, and found it was quite clean. Then he put it on Lingxi's head and said, "Wear it to block the dew and don't get your hair wet."

Pei Xuan: “…”

Pei Xuan rolled his eyes. Don’t think he didn’t see it. Many guys were staring at his sister just now. If he was jealous, he could just say it directly. Why did he cover up his eyes?

Gu Si pretended not to understand what Pei Xuan was thinking, sat back on the bicycle, and asked the little girl to lean on his back: "If you feel sleepy, take a nap for a while."

He supported himself with his feet on the ground, pushing off from time to time, keeping the same speed as Pei Xuan who was walking beside him.

Lingxi yawned, hugged Gu Si's waist, and nodded. It was daybreak, and no one could see. Besides, she and her fourth brother had already settled down, so no one could say anything.

Gu Si then chatted with Pei Xuan and mentioned going into the mountains to hunt in a few days.

The Pei family is going to hold an engagement banquet, so meat is naturally indispensable. When the time comes, the Pei family will go into the mountains to hunt, and he won't be able to just sit there and wait.

Besides, Pei Yu will be back in two days, and Gu Si hasn’t met Pei Yu face to face for such a long time!

Given Gu Si's situation, he will inevitably be examined again. If they go into the mountains together, he can also show his abilities.

The Pei family members all admire the strong in their nature. Ever since Gu Si got drunk and no one in the Pei family could get close to him, Pei Xuan no longer objected to Gu Si being his brother-in-law.

It was rare for him to be so kind as to remind her at this moment.

"Second brother is not like me and my eldest brother. He has traveled a lot and has dealt with many people. If you have any tricks, you'd better hide them and don't let him catch you."

Gu Si: “…”

Dare not dare.

He and Pei Xuan were chatting and laughing, and he saw Pei Fuzhu, who was walking not far in front of them, looking back from time to time. Her expression was strange, not like she was looking at them, but...

Gu Si looked back and suddenly saw Gu Qingnan behind him.

Also, at some point, Zhao Jianan appeared walking with Gu Qingnan, and Jin Yuan chatted and laughed with them.

Gu Si raised his eyebrows, motioned Pei Xuan to go and see, then asked: "Does Pei Fuzhu know my third brother?"

Pei Xuan: “…”

If Gu Si hadn't said it, he wouldn't have thought so. But after he said it, he also felt that Pei Fuzhu's expression was strange.

It's like, um, the look you get when you see your man cheating on you, and it's a bit sour.

Pei Xuan: “…”

!!!

He was shocked by his own imagination, but felt it was impossible.

Pei Bok Joo is so proud and arrogant!
"You're overthinking it. Didn't I hear about that a few days ago..."

I heard that Pei Fuzhu felt that Lingxi would be better off looking for Gu San than Gu Si, and she even went to their grandmother, where she was scolded by the old lady.

If there really is something, you can't push it onto Lingxi!

But Pei Xuan was too embarrassed to say it in front of Gu Si. He coughed and changed the subject: "When she was little, she said that she would marry a senior official when she grew up. People in our small place would not look down on her."

Gu Si clicked his tongue, nodded, and said nothing more.

Zhao Jianan was originally chasing after Gu Si. He said hello to Gu Qingnan and was about to leave, but he didn't expect that Jin Yuan and Gu Qingnan would start chatting.

His eyes flickered, and he asked Gu Qingnan casually, "Is that Qingbei in front? Is he bringing his girlfriend? I heard that the matchmaker has been running around quite a lot recently. When can we have the wedding banquet?"

Gu Qingnan laughed: "I just came back and haven't seen him either. It should be him. I'm going to take my bicycle to please his wife."

He was also curious about what his brother's sister-in-law looked like. Thinking of this, he quickened his pace.

"Let's take a quick walk and catch up to see."

"Okay!"

Zhao Jianan acted as if he didn't mind, and quickly followed without wasting time to speak.

He and Gu Qingnan praised Jin Yuan: "Comrade Jin Yuan's paintings are very good. I was lucky enough to see her masterpiece when I went to deliver her food the other day. The people in the paintings are lifelike and vivid, and you are not satisfied with them."
