Time Space: the Male Villain Has the Ability To Read Minds Chapter 72: Keep a Secret
Because everyone thought that the person who wanted to do business was Gu Rong, the Pei family members didn’t ask any detailed questions, and Pei Tiantian just fooled them.
Hearing Xie Jiagui say that after dinner, he wanted to go to Gu Rong’s house to take away ten kilograms of vegetables.
Pei Tiantian thought to herself that this was not good.
Gu Rong’s family definitely doesn’t grow vegetables. If Xie Jiagui just goes there, he will definitely find something wrong.
So Pei Tiantian left the table early and sneaked to Gu Rong’s house in advance.
As soon as she entered Gu Rong’s house, she saw that the backyard that was originally overgrown with weeds had been cleaned up, leaving a large piece of land, and the soil had even been turned over, and looked very loose.
Pei Tiantian was a little confused.
Could it be that Gu Rong really wanted to farm, and she had hit the jackpot by accident?
Pei Tiantian no longer thought so much and quickly entered the space to find some seasonal vegetables. Tomatoes, cucumbers, spring bamboo shoots, leeks, eggplants, loofahs, etc. were thrown into the yard and piled into a small hill.
After estimating that it was about ten kilograms, Pei Tiantian ran out, but she didn’t expect that Gu Rong and Xie Jiagui had already arrived at the door.
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 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 checked the vegetables on the ground.
Every vegetable was juicy and smelled delicious. Xie Jiagui smiled and said, “Not bad, really fresh!”
Gu Rong took out a basket and gave it to him.
Xie Jiagui took the basket and started to pack the vegetables in it, filling the whole basket.
“I’m afraid these weigh more than ten catties.” Xie Jiagui weighed the basket.
“It’s okay, Uncle Xie, just count it as 10 catties.”
Pei Tiantian said quickly.
Xie Jiagui looked at Pei Tiantian, then looked at Gu Rong who had been standing aside with no reaction like an outsider. He smiled and said, “Look at how active you are, if you don’t know, you would think you are the one doing the business.”
Pei Tiantian blinked guiltily, “Brother Gu Rong’s business is my business, so of course I will be proactive!”
Xie Jiagui looked at Gu Rong’s silence and recalled that the Pei family had no intention of revealing Gu Rong’s life experience to him. He felt that he was a poor child. No wonder he had to grow his own vegetables. It must be to earn more money.
“Fifty cents per catty, what do you think?” said Xie Jiagui.
Pei Tiantian opened her mouth in surprise.
Xie Jiagui is really a down-to-earth person.
Vegetables are very cheap now, and she originally planned to sell them at a uniform price of 30 cents per catty.
She didn’t expect Xie Jiagui to offer 50 cents per catty.
“Uncle Xie is so generous!” Pei Tiantian said happily.
Seeing that she agreed, Gu Rong also nodded in agreement when Xie Jiagui asked him.
Xie Jiagui stuffed five dollars into Gu Rong’s hand and then left with the basket on his back.
Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong were left alone in the yard.
Gu Rong came over and put five dollars into Pei Tiantian’s small pocket, his face as calm as ever.
“Brother Gu Rong, are you wondering where all those vegetables came from?”
Pei Tiantian touched her little pocket and said cautiously.
Gu Rong’s eyes were dark, and it was hard to tell his emotions. The little girl in front of him looked a little embarrassed, and hesitated for a long time before speaking: “Anyway, these vegetables were not stolen or robbed. Brother Gu Rong, please don’t tell others that I took these vegetables out. Help me keep this secret, okay?”
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 stand by her side.
Gu Rong felt a little disappointed when listening to Pei Tiantian’s words.
He thought Pei Tiantian would officially tell him about the space this time, but he didn’t expect Pei Tiantian still chose to hide it.
Gu Rong didn’t blame her.
Everyone has secrets, Pei Tiantian has one, and so does he.
He also didn’t tell Pei Tiantian that he could hear other people’s thoughts.
However, what Pei Tiantian is doing now is still somewhat dangerous.
A five-year-old child can bring so many things out of thin air. If other people knew about this, who knows what a stir it would cause.
Gu Rong wrote on the paper: “Okay, I promise to keep this secret for you. You can tell others that I grew the vegetables.”
Pei Tiantian looked at the words on the paper and smiled happily. She held Gu Rong’s hand with her small fleshy hand and said with a smile: “Thank you, Brother Gu Rong, I knew you would help me. After you become the regular vegetable supplier for Uncle Xie’s restaurant, we can split the money we earn 50-50, okay?”
Gu Rong shook his head, indicating that it was not necessary.
Pei Tiantian refused to do so. She grabbed Gu Rong’s hand with her two little paws and kept shaking it, her grape eyes rolling around. “Brother Gu Rong, just agree to it! Anyway, just think of it as saving money in advance to get married in the future!”
A blush quietly crept up on Gu Rong’s expressionless little face. He turned his head away awkwardly and nodded reluctantly.
Pei Tiantian smiled and suddenly thought of something, “Brother Gu Rong, you should also plant some vegetables in your backyard to hide our tracks.”
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 looked at Gu Rong in surprise as he rolled up his trouser legs and stepped into the soil.
Gu Rong didn’t look up, but just 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 fetch some water.
When Gu Rong went into the house to get the ladle, Pei Tiantian secretly replaced all the water in the bucket with spiritual spring water.
Although the soil here is not as good as the black soil in the space, as long as there is enough spiritual spring water, the vegetables grown here will not be too bad.
Gu Rong pretended to know nothing, came out of the house, picked up a watering can and watered the fields.
After finishing everything, Gu Rong was so tired that he was sweating, dirty all over, and was breathing slightly.
After all, he is just an eight-year-old child. No matter how capable he is, his physical strength is limited.
Pei Tiantian felt very sorry when she saw Gu Rong in such a miserable state.
She ran to the kitchen to pour a cup of spiritual spring water for Gu Rong and added glucose to the enamel cup.
The moment Gu Rong took the enamel cup, he heard Pei Tiantian’s thoughts.
Glucose can replenish energy.
Gu Rong drank all the water in the enamel cup and indeed 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.
