Sure enough, the next second Wu Mengyue gently tugged at his sleeve and spoke softly.
"I know you've been a soldier and have your own principles.
But there is a saying that existence is justified. Since the black market has been able to exist for such a long time, it means that it is indeed needed by the general public.
Although it cannot exist openly now, I believe that day is not far away.
One day, leaders will realize that addressing the needs of the people is the most important thing.
It is not feasible to rely solely on supply and marketing cooperatives to meet demand.”
Gu Sireng still had his own concerns, "But..."
Wu Mengyue continued, "In fact, you can also realize that more and more people are buying things on the black market, and the control from above is getting looser.
This reflects the attitude of those above us.”
In the end, Gu Sireng finally relented, and Wu Mengyue breathed a sigh of relief.
Luo Yiyi also breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, the male protagonist's principles were not worth mentioning in front of the female protagonist.
"Then let's use this money to buy some food and store it.
Otherwise, we will starve this winter."
Gu Sileng finally decided that the day after tomorrow, he would go to the black market to buy food and then carry it back.
Luo Yiyi: It takes two or three hours to walk and then carry the food back?
Iron man?
Wu Mengyue objected, "No, you'll be exhausted."
Facing Wu Mengyue's heartache, Gu Sireng felt happy, but this was the responsibility he should shoulder.
If anything happened, he would be the one caught.
"No, when I was in the army, I often did weight training all day long. This distance is nothing to me."
Luo Yiyi glanced at Gu Sihan, who didn't know what he was thinking, and held his forehead.
"Brother, you don't just buy one or two kilograms of food, nor do you buy dozens of kilograms. You have to buy a lot.
In fact, every time we go to the county town, we just need to carry some back.
Anyway, everyone saw me spending money lavishly these days.
Then they won’t be surprised if I buy more things later.”
Gu Si Leng glanced at Gu Sihan and said, "No, if Xiaohan goes to the black market like this, it will be easy for him to let the cat out of the bag."
Luo Yiyi: That’s true!
Children can't keep their mouths shut.
Finally, after some discussion, it was decided that Wu Mengyue and Gu Sireng would go to the black market together to buy food.
Luo Yiyi and Gu Sihan are waiting at home!
Luo Yiyi: How come she suddenly became the seat of the children?
Looking at Gu Sireng's regret for agreeing to Wu Mengyue's request to go together, and Wu Mengyue's warm comfort to him.
Luo Yiyi suddenly realized that she, as a third wheel, should stay away from him!
…
On this day, the sky was clear blue and cloudless, and the fresh air made people feel relaxed and happy.
Luo Yiyi got up early for the first time. When she opened the door, she was surprised to find that Gu Sireng was already dressed neatly and standing upright in the yard, like a loyal sentry.
"Brother, you... didn't sleep all night?" Luo Yiyi asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Hearing the voice, Gu Si Leng slowly retracted his gaze from the rising red sun on the mountainside, a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he nodded gently: "Well, I... can't sleep."
Thinking that he could finally marry Wu Mengyue, the woman he had been dreaming of, Gu Sireng was so excited that he tossed and turned in bed all night and couldn't fall asleep.
Finally, he simply got up and went outside, letting the cool night breeze blow across his face, trying to calm his restless heart a little.
Then, as if realizing something, he quickly said, "I'm so sorry, did I wake you up by making too much noise?"
Luo Yiyi smiled and shook his head, "No.
I just thought I was going to be busy today, so I woke up early to see if there was anything I could do to help out.”
Hearing this, a hint of gratitude flashed in Gu Si Leng's eyes, and he said sincerely: "Yi Yi, thank you so much."
Luo Yiyi felt a little embarrassed, "We are all family, why do we need to say such polite words?"
In fact, she felt somewhat guilty in her heart. She always ate ready-made food on weekdays. If she didn't do more things within her ability, she might be disliked by everyone one day!
