"What is it?" Boss Huang looked at Zhong Shan in confusion.
"It's just whether I'll be caught." Zhong Shan frowned. He didn't know if Boss Huang really didn't understand or if he was just pretending.
However, for his own safety, it was better for Zhong Shan to ask directly.
"Hahaha." Boss Huang laughed." Mr. Zhong, you're overthinking things. The deal we're doing now isn't illegal, so you don't have to worry about getting caught."”
Zhong Shan heaved a sigh of relief on the surface, but he was still a little worried.
However, since Boss Huang had said so, he didn't need to ask anymore. If he asked again, he wouldn't be able to buy any more herbs.
Soon, Boss Huang brought Zhong Shan to a shabby hut.
Under Boss Huang's introduction, Zhong Shan got to know an old farmer surnamed Zhang.
Zhong Shan had bought the dried orange peel from him.
Tangerines that had been stored for ten years were very expensive.
One tael cost Zhong Shan 50 yuan. Zhong Shan thought for a long time and finally bought four taels, spending 200 yuan.
Zhong Shan was in a bad mood after he left.
It was too expensive.
If in the future, all the medicinal herbs that were more than ten years old started at this price, it would be impossible for Mount Zhong to get enough medicinal herbs in a short period of time.
Only by planting it himself could he satisfy his own needs.
"In the future, I have to transplant some fruit trees into the secluded domain of heaven and earth, especially orange trees. I can get the orange peel myself.”
As he walked, Zhong Shan muttered in his heart.
"Go see Yan Jiedi."
In the afternoon, Zhong Shan thought of Yan Jiedi's reminder yesterday.
Zhong Shan arrived at the alley where he met Yan Jiedi.
Yan Jiedi was already standing there.
Seeing Mount Zhong, Yan Jiedi quickly walked over.
"Why are you so slow? I've been waiting for you here for half a day.”Yan Jiedi pouted and said unhappily.
"I went to buy something, so I came a little late.”Zhong Shan explained with a smile.
"Bought something? What did you buy? Are you lying to me?”Yan Jiedi looked at the empty-handed Zhong Shan and asked suspiciously.
"I bought some dried orange peel." Zhong Shan took out a small packet of dried orange peel from his pocket and waved it in front of Yan Jiedi. Then, he put it back into his pocket." Why don't you tell me why you asked me to come here?"”
"I've thought it through." Yan Jiedi took a deep breath and stared at Zhong Shan," Since you like me, I will be your partner."”
Yan Jiedi thought about it for the whole night. First of all, Zhong Shan was pretty good looking and had a job. Although the salary was not high, she could still work after graduation. The combined salary of the two of them would be at least 50 yuan, which was the minimum.
Not long ago, Zhong Shan had even been published in the newspapers and became a model for the country's propaganda. Soon, he would be promoted and given a raise.
Another point was that she wasn't afraid of being cheated by Zhong Shan. Zhong Shan was also from the Siheyuan, so she knew him very well. Her father, Yan Bugui, was also the third master of the Siheyuan. If Zhong Shan was willing to date her, he wouldn't be able to escape.
"You want to date me?" Zhong Shan was shocked.
Previously, he had already guessed that Yan Jiedi might have taken a fancy to him. However, he did not expect Yan Jiedi to be so bold as to say it directly in front of him.
Zhong Shan looked at Yan Jiedi, he was indeed very tempted.
"Yes, I want to date you." Yan Jiedi said with certainty.
"You, aren't you still young?”Zhong Shan swallowed his saliva. If it was in the past, he would definitely not let go of such a proactive woman like Yan Jiedi. However, it was different in this era.
"I'm small. Is there something wrong with your eyes? I'm not small.”Yan Jiedi was instantly dissatisfied. She was proud of herself.
"Cough, cough, cough." Zhong Shan coughed and explained," I'm talking about your age.”
"What? It's already the end of the year. I'm already eighteen. Do you know that others would have gotten married and had children when they were eighteen? If I wasn't still studying, I might have gotten married too.”
Yan Jiedi pouted.
"What do you mean? You said you liked me yesterday, and now you don't like me anymore?”
Yan Jiedi frowned as if she was about to get angry.
"No, didn't you say that you were still studying? You can't date when you're studying." Zhong Shan said.
"I'm graduating next year. Also, who told you that you can't get a partner just because you're studying? A few of my classmates are already married and have children.”Yan Jiedi was dissatisfied.
Zhong Shan was stunned.
Only then did he remember that people in this era got married very early. At Yan Jiedi's age, there were indeed many people who got married.
However, Zhong Shan didn't expect that in the future, the possibility of marriage in high school had already started from here.
People like Lou Xiao'e and Qin Huairu married into the Siheyuan when they were eighteen or nineteen years old.
"Tell me, are you with me?”Yan Jiedi was very serious.
She was going all out.
After she went back yesterday, she had been thinking about it. In the end, she decided to date Zhong Shan.
"If you're willing to be with me, then be with me first. But don't regret it. I'm a playboy.”Zhong Shan said indifferently.
"Fickle?" Yan Jiedi didn't think much of it." If you were a playboy, would you still be single? You're already twenty years old, oh no, you're already twenty-one years old now. Twenty-one years old is already an old leftover man. This lady will reluctantly accept you.”
Yan Jiedi said a little tsundere.
"I'm really a playboy. I'm not lying to you. Don't cry when the time comes.”Zhong Shan reminded.
Although Zhong Shan was a scumbag, in other words, he was a fisherman. If the fish were willing to take the bait, he would put them in his private fish tank and raise them well.
If Yan Jiedi wanted to follow him, he had to make it clear.
Of course, Zhong Shan wouldn't say that he had a few women. He only reminded Yan Jiedi that he was a playboy and that he might not be the only one in the future.
"Hmph, I won't cry. If you have the ability to find eight or ten of them, I won't cry.”Yan Jiedi didn't believe Zhong Shan's words at all.
"You said so yourself." Zhong Shan smiled.
"I said it." Yan Jiedi blurted out. Then, she asked nervously," You don't really have such thoughts, do you?”
"What do you think?" Zhong Shan said meaningfully.
"Even if I did, you wouldn't be able to afford it. You don't even have a wife now. Also, you have to save your salary in the future.”Yan Jiedi warned.
"You've become a housekeeper?" Zhong Shan was stunned.
He was sure that Yan Jiedi was definitely Yan Bugui's child. She was really scheming. She had not even become his woman and had not married him yet, yet she was already calculating his debts.
"Hmph, I want to be a housekeeper and your financial officer.”Yan Jiedi said matter-of-factly.
"A top student who has studied is really different. He's bold and has a set of words.”Zhong Shan said with a smile.
Yan Jiedi was about to graduate from high school. In this era, high school students were considered top students.
Yan Jiedi would never have thought that when she schemed against Mount Zhong, she would just jump into the pond of Mount Zhong. No matter how she schemed, she would never be able to get ashore.
