Chapter 73
After saying that, Chen Cong turned and left.
Gu Kai naturally followed.
This time Xu Bin did not chase after them. He just stood there, staring at the backs of the two people, without moving for a long time.
It lasted so long that Chen Cong felt goose bumps appear on his back.
She didn't look back, but moved a little closer to her husband and asked, "Why is he here?"
"I don't know." Gu Kai said coldly, "It has nothing to do with us where it is."
"That's right." Shen Cong nodded.
Thinking of his legs, he added, "He didn't go to the capital in his last life, and he probably won't go there in this life. With such a character, he still wants everything to go his way? He deserves it!"
"that is……"
At this point, Chen Cong hesitated for a moment: "The evil has lasted for thousands of years. Now that he has seen us, he won't think of Sun Qing again and go back to cause trouble for her, right?"
Gu Kai looked at her and asked, "Do you think Sun Qing can still be deceived?"
There was no need for Chen Cong to answer afterwards, as he had already said, "Before, it was because of the earthquake, and Sun Qing had no way to deal with it, but it certainly won't happen now.
Although the girl is young, she is very capable. "
It was rare for Gu Kai to give such a high evaluation to someone, and Chen Cong also deeply agreed with his evaluation.
"That's right, Sun Qing is very smart."
Thinking about what Sun Qing had done during this period, Chen Cong couldn't help but admire her.
Because the Shen family's courtyard soil was used to grow the earliest vegetables, Sun Qing was the first person in the entire community besides the Shen family to grow vegetables, and her vegetables also grew the best.
Because the Shen family found it troublesome, and also in response to the call of the community, all the harvested vegetables were sent to the property management, who would sell them together.
Sun Qing only paid the portion that the property management required individuals to hand over, and took the rest of the vegetables to the town to sell.
Knowing that she was the only one in her family and that it was not easy for a young girl to live, the leaders of the community didn't know what to say. Besides, the vegetables she grew were not that many.
So we just turned a blind eye to her behavior.
And relying on the few kilograms of vegetables harvested every day, Sun Qing managed to live a better life day by day.
No one knows how much food she exchanged for that vegetable.
But everyone saw with their own eyes that when this little girl first went to town, she was pulling a flatbed cart that she had modified from two skateboards, and then one day when she came back she was pushing a modified tricycle.
Although the car was old and broken and looked like it would collapse at any time, who could say it was not a car?
With this tricycle, Sun Qing can go to more places.
She no longer went to the town to sell vegetables, but started running to various gathering points.
Because she managed the timing well, when her vegetables grew out, people in most places were still worried about land pollution and there was really no place to grow vegetables.
So her products have no trouble selling.
She not only buys groceries, but also collects waste.
Since she had a car, she would collect small scraps at the collection point at a lower price than in town.
Scrap metal, wood and planks, she took whatever the scrap yard took.
Because these items are relatively small, it takes a long time to collect them, and if the quantity is small, they cannot be sold at a high price.
Therefore, most people will keep them at home even if they pick them up, and then sell them after accumulating a small amount.
Since Sun Qing buys in this way, many people are willing to sell.
Although the price is a little lower than in town, I don’t have to make this journey!
There are few means of transportation now, and the time and dry food spent on this trip alone are much more than the difference Sun Qing earns.
So the little girl started a business like this.
Later, she used the hard-earned money to buy a solar panel!
What's even smarter about this girl is that she knows her strengths and weaknesses very well.
If she has to stay by the power bank and sell electricity, she won't be able to collect waste.
But the income from selling electricity is indeed very attractive to her.
So she directly charged the six power banks she already had and the ones she had purchased and sent them to the property management company. She also talked to Lao Cao about asking the property management company to include her power banks when selling electricity, and how to split the profits.
It is said that her behavior confused Lao Cao at the time and he was speechless for a long time.
Thinking of this, Chen Cong couldn't help but laugh.
The more I interact with this little girl, the more I feel that she is a person with very clear ideas.
I know how to fight for myself, but at the same time I also have a bottom line.
For example, at the beginning, seeing that she was too tired from running every day, Chen Xi once quietly asked her if she wanted to continue charging?
Anyway, the community now has solar panels, so our homes don’t have to supply electricity to the community for free, and there will be a surplus of electricity every day.
But Sun Qing refused.
She only recharged for fifteen days as originally agreed upon, and never went again after that.
For a person who knows everything clearly and has a plan in mind, she should have learned her lesson after suffering a loss once. It may not be so easy for Xu Bin to deceive her again at this moment.
The couple climbed up the stairs while talking.
I don’t know if it’s because I was promoted again, but this time when I climbed the stairs, Chen Cong obviously didn’t feel as tired as before.
When I reached the 19th floor, apart from being a little out of breath, I didn't feel too uncomfortable.
Jiashu is still in the community, so there must be no one at home. Chen Cong used the key to open the elevator door.
She did not go back to her own home, but went to Shi's home and knocked on the door first, wanting to see if Xiao Cancan was at home.
After knocking for a long time, no one answered.
"Where did she go in broad daylight? Doesn't Shi Chen have to go to work today?" Chen Cong muttered.
Then the two of them returned to their home together.
As soon as they opened the door, the couple felt something was different in their home.
The main thing is that it is so clean, spotless everywhere.
Everything was neatly arranged, each in its own place. Even the picture frame that had fallen and shattered during the earthquake had been repaired and hung back on the wall.
"This definitely doesn't belong to our family tree, it should be Shi Chen." Chen Cong said.
"It's Shi Chen." Gu Kai agreed.
My cousin is fine in everything else except doing housework.
In the past, with his mother's help, the family was able to get by. But after his mother passed away, Gu Kai was afraid that if he moved into his house, it would turn into a doghouse.
For this reason, before leaving last time, he knocked on Jiashu several times, and the man patted his chest and made a promise.
But Gu Kai didn't believe it at all.
Therefore, when he saw this clean and new house, his opinion of Shi Chen suddenly became much higher.
The couple went upstairs together.
Before opening the balcony door, the two of them felt a strong spiritual power, especially Gu Kai. Because he possessed wood-related abilities, the feeling was a little stronger.
The two pushed the door open and saw a lush green scene.
The first thing that caught my eye was a large grape trellis in front of the balcony. The trellis was built with construction waste, including wooden sticks, old steel bars, and several cement blocks.
Although the materials are pieced together, the finished product is not fuzzy at all.
The entire shelf covers an area of about eleven or twelve square meters, and the top is now covered with green leaves.
There are many large and small, not fully ripe loofahs and beans hanging between the leaves.
There are four rows of large plastic boxes placed under the shelf, in which are grown some vegetables that need support from the shelf, such as cucumbers, tomatoes, and eggplants, which are also growing very vigorously.
On both sides of the shelf are the two large flower beds that Gu Kai had built earlier.
There are many things grown there.
A flower bed is divided into several parts, each part is planted with a separate vegetable.
Leeks, lettuce, onions, coriander...
There are also chili peppers, bell peppers, millet peppers...
"This is something that is sold!" Gu Kai said with emotion after seeing it.
The varieties of these vegetables are so complete that it is obvious at first glance that they are not food for personal consumption.
Besides, those three people wouldn’t be so particular about their meals.
"Yes, I didn't expect Jiashu to be so smart." Chen Cong praised.
"It may not be him. He doesn't know anything about cooking." Gu Kai knew his cousin well. He didn't think Jiashu could do this.
"Could it be Shi Chen? He probably can't even tell the difference between leeks and garlic sprouts?" Chen Cong questioned.
"Let's wait and see." Gu Kai said as he walked towards another flower bed.
The things planted in this flower bed can be used as food.
There are no subdivisions here, and all the land is planted with potatoes.
Although now is definitely not the season for planting potatoes, but because of the blessing of the formation, in such a small area, the season seems to no longer be the most important.
At least these potatoes are growing well. Some of them have even produced small white flowers, which are very beautiful.
Next to the flower bed, against the wall were the large flower pots that Chen Cong had bought before, with sweet potatoes planted in them.
At this time, some leaves have begun to turn yellow and the vines have become a little dry, so it is estimated that they are not far from maturity.
"The sweet potatoes are growing really well. I'll go back and tell my dad that we can plant some at home so that we can have roasted sweet potatoes to eat when the weather gets cold."
Chen Cong bent over and stared at the flowerpot. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
It took me a while to react: "Where did they get these seeds? I don't remember giving them potatoes and sweet potatoes."
At that time, they came back with Jiashu, and the seeds they could be given were the common ones such as cabbage, pepper, and eggplant.
It was not convenient to take out sweet potatoes and potatoes at that time, and she couldn't possibly take them out and arouse Jiashu and the others' suspicion.
"These seeds are sold by all seed companies, so they must have bought them themselves," Gu Kai explained.
“The seed company in our town is too small and has no electricity, so it’s hard to store the products. Even if we do buy them, we only buy the commonly used and long-lasting ones.
But I heard that there are many varieties of seeds in the seed companies in Bac Ninh, and I have always wanted to come and take a look, but I never had the chance. "
"Then let's go take a look together. If there's anything suitable, we can buy some."
“Buy more of everything.”
Gu Kai pondered: "In fact, there is no need to go to the seed company, just talk to Liu Tuan. As long as they can be found, whether it is vegetable seeds or grain seeds, let them find some.
I need to practice and learn how to grow different vegetables.”
This morning, when Gu Kai and his wife were putting wheat seeds into the seedling boxes, he was thinking that this was too inconvenient.
Captain Lin still needs to breed a small amount, so he can place them one by one. But what if he needs to plant on a large scale?
This is too slow.
Needs improvement.
However, Gu Kai was not in a hurry about this. He had just started to develop his supernatural powers, and there would naturally be opportunities for advancement in the future.
Take your time, you will always find the right solution.
“Uncle, aunt!”
Just as the two were chatting, the cheerful voice of a little girl was heard from the top floor.
The two looked up at the same time and saw Cancan waving at them vigorously through the railings.
No one answered the door when they knocked, and the two of them never thought that she would be on the rooftop.
"Be careful and stand there and don't move!" The two of them quickly agreed and went up to the top floor.
Cancan was standing on the rooftop of her house at this time, separated from Shen Cong's house by a security fence.
The relationship between the two families was not that good at the beginning. In addition, no one was at home during the renovation, so Gu Kai naturally did not leave any entrance or exit when installing the anti-theft net.
But this seems a bit inconvenient at the moment.
Cancan lay on the railing, jumping and laughing at the two people: "Uncle and aunt, you are back? I missed you so much!"
The little girl's condition was obviously much better than the last time they met, and she looked more lively.
Chen Cong touched her little face through the railing and asked, "You are home alone? Why did you run to the roof? It's so dangerous."
"I'm not alone. Xiaoyu and Aunt Zhou are here. Auntie went downstairs to fetch water."
As she spoke, she rushed to the stairs and shouted down: “Xiaoyu, Auntie, Auntie Shen and the others are back!”
"Who, who's back?"
Cancan spoke too fast, and Shen Cong and Gu Kai didn't understand who she was talking about, and then they heard a burst of footsteps coming from downstairs across the street.
The two of them were looking down from above and could clearly see a chubby little boy rushing up the stairs.
He rushed forward while shouting and panting.
He was carrying a schoolbag on his back, the opening of which was open, with a 5L bottle of mineral water inside.
At this point it was filled with water.
"Xiao Yu?" He was surprised to see the silent person coming.
She and Gu Kai quickly stood over and shouted, "Xiao Yu, slow down. Don't run so fast up the stairs."
Xiaoyu didn't expect to see Chen Cong and his wife here. He was stunned for a moment, then showed a big little face.
The little guy ran up in two or three steps, threw his schoolbag to the ground skillfully, and ran to the railing: "Uncle and aunt, why are you here? Why are you at Uncle Jiashu's house? Do you have the key over there?
Come over to our place, my mom will be back soon, come over here and play!"
Without waiting for the two to ask, Xiaoyu had already said a lot.
He was extremely welcoming, just like he was at home.
After he finished speaking, without waiting for the two to reply, he said, "You wait."
He ran to the side.
After a while, he came back with two ripe tomatoes.
The little guy rubbed the tomato on his clothes and passed it over the railing.
She looked at them with pride and said, "Uncle, aunt, please eat it. It's so sweet and delicious."
This is what my parents and I grew together. You can eat it for free!"
Looking at Xiaoyu's attitude like a small landlord, Shen Cong and Gu Kai looked at each other.
They both saw confusion in each other's eyes.
