Chapter 163
At the same time, Xu Ting dressed up carefully and went to wait at the door of Zhang Pujun's unit.
When it was time to get off work, Zhang Pujun saw Xu Ting standing at the gate from a distance.
"Tingting, you got off work so early, how long have you been here? Is it cold standing outside? Why don't you know to sit in the security room and wait for me?"
Zhang Pujun's heartache, Xu Ting Not surprisingly, I noticed that the employees returning home from get off work were looking at them.
Xu Ting pushed her bicycle to the intersection first, "Let's talk as we walk."
"Okay." Zhang Pujun followed closely behind him excitedly, "Today is not the weekend. Why do you want to come to me? It's a meeting." What happened? "
Xu Ting turned to look at him. She wore a windbreaker and a scarf, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on her nose. Plus she was tall, which barely met her most basic requirements.
"Today a group of friends who have been playing together since childhood are having a dinner together. You come with me and introduce you to everyone."
When Zhang Pujun heard this, it was Xu Ting who took the initiative to bring him in. Her life circle nodded excitedly and agreed: "This is possible."
"When you go there and you are not familiar with the others, just follow my brother and let him take you."
"Okay, I have long heard that eldest brother has a group of very strong buddies that I have never had the chance to meet. , I will get along well with them this time, don’t worry,” Zhang Pujun promised.
Xu Ting was inevitably disappointed when she listened to Zhang Pujun's words. He looked good, but he was not aloof enough and talked too much.
After all, he is not the man in his heart. The two of them are too different in personality, and it is impossible to find someone to replace him.
The two of them entered the old neighborhood one after another, turning left and right to the door of Gu Jiuzu's house. Xu Ting stepped forward and knocked on the door for a long time, but no one opened the door.
Zhang Pujun parked his bicycle and leaned on the door to listen to the goings on inside. "Tingting, it's very quiet inside. She must not be at home. Are you sure they are having dinner here?"
Xu Ting said with a cold face, "They I'm here every time. How could I not be here today? Where to go?"
Zhang Pujun looked at this old street and hesitated for a while to express his suspicion: "Do you think they went to the state-owned hotel?"
After all, this weather? , young people who want to cook at home.
"It's possible, let's go to a state-owned hotel and have a look." After being reminded, Xu Ting also reacted.
Aunt Cui next door stood in front of the window and noticed a man and a woman knocking on the door next door. When they walked away, she patted her clothes and prepared to cook.
The men and women having dinner at the old house did not know that Xu Ting was walking through the streets and alleys looking for them all over the world.
When Xu Ming returned home after the show, he turned on the light first when he entered. He was startled when he saw Xu Ting sitting on the sofa, staring blankly at the door.
"Why didn't you turn on the light when you were sitting in the living room? You were still staring at the door, which scared me."
Xu Ting didn't care whether he was scared or not, and asked with a stern face: "Are you having a party today?"
Xu Ming nodded without thinking too much: "Yes."
"Where is the location?"
"The location." Xu Ming finally reacted, walked to Xu Ting, and looked carefully Looking at her expression, she was quite calm.
At the same time, he also noticed the clothes she was wearing, "You won't go to us today, will you?"
"." Xu Ting glanced at him expressionlessly, not wanting to speak.
"Where did you go to find us? Let me guess, you went to the Gu family's ancestral home?" Xu Ming used a question, but his tone was very firm.
Xu Ting felt unwilling and said coldly: "Let me ask you, do you have so many words waiting for me?"
"Gu Jiu asked us to have a dinner together just to catch up on old times. You It’s boring to go, you women can’t get involved in men’s topics.”
Xu Ming’s words were meant to comfort her, but to Xu Ting’s ears, it seemed that he looked down on her.
"Humph, I can't get in the conversation. I'll take Zhang Pujun. He always has something to talk about with you, so just think of me as accompanying him." Xu Ming shook his head, when a woman doesn't want to reason with you. , it won’t make sense for you to reason with her.
Xu Ting continued to ask: "You haven't told me where you met for dinner?"
"In the house over at their grocery store."
Xu Ting Ming left these words and went into the bathroom, leaving Xu Ting sitting alone in the living room, annoyed that she didn't think of the canteen during the day.
When I woke up the next day, there was no fog outside and the sun was shining brightly. The warm winter sun is the most comfortable time when it shines on your body.
After breakfast, Lin Shu looked at the bright sun outside and suggested: "My dad and his friends are looking after the canteen over there. It's fine for us to stay in the county. Why don't we ride to the countryside and have a look?"
Gu Jiu took a sip of tea and chuckled: "The two of us sat at the door to bask in the sun and drink tea by the way. The neighbors are chatting, isn't it more pleasant? What you said about outings is that you just want to go to the mountains again."
Lin Shu chuckled: "We have only been together for a few months, and my temper has changed. But I was almost touched by you."
Gu Jiu hummed proudly.
Lin Shu pushed him gently, "Are you going or not?"
Gu Jiu's head was shaken by the push, and he giggled: "Go!"
Since he was going up the mountain, he naturally had to change into the work clothes he wears when going up the mountain. This kind of work clothes can withstand wear and tear, even thorns. The hook is not bad.
The two changed their clothes, and Gu Jiu packed a set of tools for going up the mountain, including a water bottle and dry food.
Lin Shu changed his clothes and came out, looked down at his bulging belly, and asked with a smile: "Do you think I look like a general's belly?"
"A bit like it." Gu Jiu I checked the things I brought again and found that nothing was missing. "Are you ready? Let's go when you are ready."
After all, winter is different from autumn. Even if the weather is sunny in winter, the wind blowing on your face is still cold.
However, fortunately, it is within the acceptable range.
This time the two took a different path and entered the mountainous area. The leaves of some trees had fallen, but the vast majority of the trees on the mountain were still evergreens.
"Gu Jiu, look at this weed on the roadside, do you know what it is?" Lin Shu squatted in front of a piece of withered yellow weed.
Gu Jiu squatted down and followed her words and asked, "What is this?"
"This is a kind of herb. Its rhizome can be used as medicine. It is called ground silkworm. You take a medicinal hoe and dig out its rhizome, which looks like silkworm chrysalis. It can be pickled and eaten as a vegetable. In some places, it is called lotus root, manna seed, etc."
Some unscrupulous businessmen even brew silkworms and sell them as cordyceps.
The silkworm has the functions of nourishing the kidneys and lungs, nourishing yin and blood, clearing away heat, detoxifying and removing troubles.
Gu Jiu took out the medicinal hoe and dug out the rhizome in a few strokes, "This white and fat appearance really looks like a silkworm chrysalis."
"Well, it can be eaten as pickles, it's okay. Stew.”
"You step aside, I will dig them all out and use them for cooking at night." Gu Jiu threw the picked up roots into the basket and stood up to prepare for digging.
After digging the silkworms in this area, the two hid their bicycles and entered the forest.
As soon as he entered the forest, Lin Shujing discovered a lot of Eucommia vine after being reminded by the system.
The effects of Cane Eucommia and Wood Eucommia, also known as tree Eucommia, are different. The whole plant of Cane Eucommia can be used medicinally and can be harvested throughout the year.
When its bark is broken, white liquid flows out. When the skin is torn off, long threads will be pulled out. This white liquid can be used as medicine and can also be used to make rubber.
At the same time, Eucommia ulmoides is also a famous plant gold, with good medicinal and economic value.
"Gu Jiu, this is the vine Eucommia ulmoides. If you cut these vines, they are neither expensive nor cheap. The vines can be sold directly for two yuan per catty. If we cut dozens of catties and bring them back, the income will be one hundred More, the income from today is settled.”
