Chapter 191 Radiant
There is a bumper harvest of watermelons this year, but because too many people are growing them, they are unsalable. Not only can they not be sold at a high price, but they are also likely to be left with nothing.
Gu Xi nodded and said:
"Of course. You can ask a few people to help you pick all the ripe melons."
It’s a good opportunity for the Northern Army to have a taste of this new food.
The melon farmer took out his cell phone and was about to make a call, but hesitated for a moment and said:
"You won't trick me, will you?"
If they are all picked, the watermelons will be even harder to store if these two people run away.
Gu Xi said: "Then please estimate how much money you will need, and I will transfer the money to you first."
The melon farmer thought for a moment and said:
"Then you pay 50,000 yuan first, and I'll refund you the extra money after we weigh it. If you really want it all, I'll give you a 20% discount!"
"OK!" Gu Xi quickly transferred 50,000 yuan.
The watermelon farmer was so excited that he called his family immediately. After a while, seven or eight people came on electric bikes and brought large baskets to pick watermelons.
Gu Xi drove the off-road vehicle to a deserted place, changed to a large truck, and drove to the edge of the watermelon field.
While people were loading the truck, Chu Zhao chopped a watermelon in half with his knife.
Gu Xi took out two spoons from the space, and the two of them sat cross-legged on the ground to eat melon.
You feed me a bite, I feed you a bite, it's so sweet in the mouth, so shy that the sun hides in the clouds.
The truck drove to an uninhabited place and stored the watermelons. On the way back, the two men met several watermelon farmers selling watermelons on the roadside. They simply collected watermelons along the way, just as if they were helping the farmers.
Chu Zhao asked:
"Axi, you bought so much food in the modern world, the people here won't starve, right?"
Gu Xi said:
"You're overthinking it. I've seen data from a survey that shows the amount of food wasted in China every year is enough to feed 200 million people. How many people are there in Anning? Maybe 70 to 80 million at most."
"What we bought is just a drop in the bucket. Also, you don't have to think that An Ning Country is taking advantage. We are also helping the Chinese people. It's useless to keep the money in your hands. Only when the money flows can it be called an economy."
"You in Anning country talk about scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, and look down on merchants. In our Huaxia country, this is a thing left over from hundreds of years ago. In the future, I will definitely revitalize Anning's business."
"But right now, the people of Anning still don't have enough to eat. The foundation of the country is still agriculture. We should develop agriculture first. Once we have a foundation, we can then develop industry and commerce. In the future, Anning will surely be like China, making rapid progress."
Listening to Gu Xi's talk, Chu Zhao couldn't help but say:
"Axi is kind-hearted, whether in Huaxia or Anning."
"Is it just kindness? There are also beautiful people!"
“Yes, people are more beautiful!”
Gu Xi looked at Chu Zhao's admiring eyes and couldn't help feeling proud. He started to talk nonsense again:
"My generation has been educated in patriotism since childhood. What we have heard the most is that we are the successors of socialism. I am the successor, and the country belongs to me. How can I not have a sense of responsibility?"
"What's more, when we live in this world, we should live brilliantly!"
Chu Zhao looked at Gu Xi's spirited profile and said infatuatedly:
"Axi, you are that beam of light. In romance novels, the most beautiful girl in a person's heart is called the white moonlight. I don't think this is accurate. Axi is a radiant light, like the sun."
Oh, shame on you! Boys’ sweet words are the most intoxicating!
After harvesting eggs in the evening and returning to the community, Lu Wencheng and his father were already waiting downstairs.
Gu Xi invited the two into his home, and Lu Wencheng said:
"Mr. Gu, I've already told my dad about this. You don't have to worry. He will accept it and will definitely keep it a secret."
This saved Gu Xi a lot of trouble, so he said:
"Well, Mr. Lu, I will send you to Peach Blossom Spring first."
As she spoke, she brought Chu Zhao, Lu Wencheng, and his father into the space.
Although Teacher Lu had prepared himself mentally, he was still startled by the sudden change of the situation.
Gu Xi gathered the soldiers and said to them:
"This is Mr. Lu who teaches you cultural subjects. You must study hard and must not become illiterate. Everyone applaud!"
It just so happened that she was not planning to let the soldiers learn ancient traditional Chinese characters. In the future, the An Ning Kingdom must promote simplified Chinese characters.
Thunderous applause broke out.
"Hello, Teacher Lu!" All the soldiers said in unison, their voices excited.
Teacher Lu looked at the passionate soldiers in front of him and felt deeply moved.
It was the first time for him to teach students of such an old age, and each of them seemed to be full of energy, as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and seemed to regard being able to study as a very important and sacred thing.
Unlike some modern students, who have the conditions to study but think about skipping school every day.
He walked forward, cleared his throat, and began to introduce himself.
"My dear soldiers, I am your cultural teacher, Lv Deyu. It is a great honor to meet you all. From now on, I will be responsible for leading you to learn to read and write. Although I am a Chinese teacher, I can also teach you arithmetic. Knowledge changes destiny. I hope we can work together!"
Teacher Lu's words once again won warm applause from the soldiers, and their morale was even higher. He is worthy of being a Chinese teacher.
Gu Xi asked Teacher Lu to make a list of study materials, and she placed the order directly on Wanhuo Mall.
On that day, the sound of reading aloud, "Ah, Oh, Goose", was heard in Taohuayuan.
When we returned to the North, it was still dark.
Gu Xi placed a thousand pigs, a hundred tons of eggs, and tens of thousands of round watermelons on the open space behind the military camp.
She did not show up, but just informed Li Tieniu and returned to the county.
Li Tieniu commanded the soldiers to distribute the supplies to each camp. Looking at the mountains of supplies, the Northern Army was shocked.
Li Tieniu told everyone that these were the benefits given to everyone by the national teacher. His current outer shell was An Mengde, and he didn't want to build up fame for this guy.
The soldiers were very grateful to the imperial teacher.
In the past, when General Gu and General Gu were alive, the soldiers felt that they were great days.
In the past six months since An Mengde came, everyone has been living in dire straits, and they miss the old days even more.
But for some reason, General An's temperament changed drastically in the past two days, and with the supplies sent by the national teacher, life is actually better than half a year ago.
As soon as Gu Xi returned to the county town, he saw the signalman running over and said excitedly:
"Master, our radio station received the first message. It was sent from Minzhou to Jingzhou, then from Jingzhou to the capital, and then from the capital to the north."
It was five or six thousand miles away, and although it took several twists and turns, it was transmitted in just a quarter of an hour!
Seeing that the signalman was extremely excited, Gu Xi said helplessly:
"What's the content of the message?"
"Oh, here it is." The signalman took out a piece of paper with a few words written on it:
"The imperial edict to suppress the Japanese arrived at half past six."
