Chapter 401 Is Gu Jingzhe a time traveler?
"I figured out this insecticide recipe that my son Jingzhe saw in a book when he went to the provincial capital." Tong Huaqiong said nonchalantly.
Is this the recipe that Gu Jingzhe read in a book?
Gu Ruinian's eyes darkened.
This cousin is not simple. Could it be that he also traveled from the future?
He said, how could the uncle and aunt, a pair of whack-a-mole, give birth to a dragon.
He didn't believe that Gu Jingzhe could find the formula of pesticide from some book.
Only people of this era believe it.
"My cousin is so awesome." Gu Ruinian laughed dryly and praised insincerely.
"What's so great about that? Those were all written in books by people in the past. He is the only one in the village who can read. Otherwise, he wouldn't remember them even if he saw them." Tong Huaqiong said disapprovingly.
Gu Ruinian's jealousy burned fiercely.
Gu Jingzhe's luck is surprisingly good.
Gu Ruinian was born into a farming family in his previous life. He had three older sisters, and he was the only one who was a proud relative.
He had been a good student since he was young, and all the family resources were allocated to him. His three older sisters who had better grades than him went to work in an electronics factory in the south after graduating from junior high school to earn money to support him.
As the only Yaozu, although he was born in the countryside, he had never done farm work and didn't even recognize the grass or crops in the fields.
Gu Ruinian felt extremely regretful.
If he had known more about agricultural knowledge in his previous life, would Gu Jingzhe still be able to get this pesticide recipe?
"Why do you think of asking this? Ruinian, let me tell you, this formula is developed by me and authorized by the government. Don't even think about taking advantage of it." Tong Huaqiong said bluntly.
Gu Ruinian said calmly, "You are mistaken, Auntie. I am just curious."
I despised Tong Huaqiong in my heart.
Isn’t it just the pesticide formula?
Let you be proud for now, you will see him stir up trouble in the future.
Gu Ruinian thought he had gotten the key information, so he bowed to Tong Huaqiong and said goodbye: "Auntie, it's time for lunch soon, I should go home. By the way, when will Brother Jingzhe come back? I'll come to ask him for advice on my homework."
Tong Huaqiong said, "It's uncertain when he will be back. The provincial examination will be held next month, and he is reviewing his lessons in town. Why aren't you reviewing?"
Gu Ruinian smiled faintly and said, "Reviewing your lessons is not about time, but about efficiency."
Tong Huaqiong thought, just pretend.
Gu Ruinian woke up immediately after leaving the pig farm when he was blown by the cold spring wind.
Is Gu Jingzhe a time traveler?
It was difficult for him to make a judgment based on the pesticide formula alone. After all, it was normal for people in ancient times to accidentally make pesticides while refining alchemy and record them.
He still needed to confirm whether Gu Jingzhe was just lucky enough to see a book recording pesticide formulas, or whether he had traveled through time with agricultural knowledge from later generations.
At this moment, Gu Ruinian wanted to have an in-depth chat with Gu Jingzhe more than ever.
If Gu Jingzhe really came from the future like him, he did not intend to expose himself. He wanted to accumulate strength in the dark.
In this era, he is the only time traveler who can stir up the situation.
If Gu Jingzhe is a pure ancient person, then we should win him over to be his younger brother.
......
Tong Huaqiong basically confirmed that Gu Ruinian was a time traveler like her.
She deliberately pushed Gu Jingzhe to the front to confuse Gu Ruinian.
It is estimated that the words spoken at the pig farm made Gu Ruinian suspect that Gu Jingzhe was a time traveler.
Next, it depends on Gu Ruinian’s plan. If he and Gu Jingzhe recognize each other as relatives, it means that he does not want to go against Tong Huaqiong and others, and she does not mind exposing herself in front of him.
If he doesn't acknowledge her as his relative and instead takes advantage of Gu Jingzhe, he must be up to something bad and wants to step on her and her whole group of kids to get to the top, so don't blame her for being rude to him.
In the evening, Gu Jingzhe returned home from the private school.
When he got home, he told Tong Huaqiong that he was stopped by Gu Ruinian on the road, and Gu Ruinian asked him many inexplicable questions.
Tong Huaqiong was very happy and asked, "What did they ask you?"
Gu Jingzhe said: "He asked me where I saw the formula for the pesticide in a book? What else could I make besides pesticides? He also asked me what I thought of the court."
This is to test Gu Jingzhe.
Tong Huaqiong asked: "How did you answer?"
Gu Jingzhe said, "I think he has bad intentions. The pesticide is the recipe you saw in the treasure space. How could I tell the truth? I just said a few perfunctory words. As for other questions, I can try to be perfunctory. I am too lazy to talk to him. The provincial examination will be held next month, and I still have to study hard."
Tong Huaqiong smiled and said, "If he asks you some weird questions next time, just make up some nonsense."
Gu Jingzhe nodded.
If it weren't for the sake of his dead father, he wouldn't want to bother with this cousin at all.
Gu Ruinian tried to test Gu Jingzhe, but he became more and more unsure whether Gu Jingzhe was a time traveler. He wanted to know the answer whether Gu Jingzhe was a disguised person or someone else was the time traveler from the aunt's family.
He remembered that in his original body's memory, this cousin had been good at studying since childhood and was also rather arrogant towards others.
Apart from studying, Gu Jingzhe did not show any other talents.
Moreover, the tone, movements and expressions that Gu Jingzhe used when speaking to him now were no different from those in his original memory.
Gu Ruinian walked towards home with a lost feeling.
The children in the village returned home from private school.
One of the children said to Maner, "Maner, my birthday is coming in a few days. My mother said she has already ordered a birthday cake from your store. You can come to my house and celebrate my birthday with me."
Maner smiled and said, "Okay."
and many more.
Birthday Cake.
Are there birthday cakes in this era?
This pastry was ordered from the big house's shop.
A few years ago, the clan leader wrote in a letter to my grandfather that my aunt had opened a pastry shop, which was not only doing well in Yanguan Town, but had also expanded to Pingchuan County and the provincial capital.
During the few days since they came back, the clan members have been treating them to dinner and they are also negotiating with the clan members on how to take back the land they had contracted out. With so many things to do, no one has thought of going to the town to see the eldest son's pastry shop in person.
The birthday cake touched Gu Ruinian's heart, and tomorrow he would go to the town in person to take a look at his aunt's pastry shop.
"Grandpa, can you give me one or two taels of silver? I want to go to town to buy some books." During dinner, Gu Ruinian said to Grandpa Gu.
Mr. Gu paused.
Money was very tight at home, and he only had a dozen taels of silver left for a coffin.
Even so, there are places where you have to spend money.
When we went to the south, the land given to the second brother was rented out to other people in the clan for cultivation. Now he wants to take it back but others don't agree.
After all, there is wheat planted in the fields, and if you harvest it, you have to pay for it.
We also need oil, salt, sauce and vinegar at home, and we need money to buy chickens and ducklings.
Jia Shi saw that Mr. Gu was reluctant, and quickly said, "Ruinian will take the provincial examination next month. Jingzhe can concentrate on reviewing in the private school, but Ruinian can only stay at home. He didn't buy this book for nothing, it's for the examination."
Gu Ruinian swallowed and said, "Grandpa, when I pass the exam and become a scholar, I will have rice every month, and our family will have an extra income."
These words touched Mr. Gu.
