Chapter 36 Heavy Ears of Wheat
Gu Tinghuai felt a little embarrassed and looked around at other staff members.
He has a gentle personality and never slacks off at work. Even though the members had prejudices against him before, their views have changed after spending the morning with him. When they heard Gu Yuehuai's call, they pushed Gu Tinghuai to ask him to come over and have a rest.
Gu Tinghuai showed gratitude on his face and thanked him repeatedly, then he climbed up the hill and trotted towards Gu Yuehuai.
"Brother! Let me see your hand." Gu Yuehuai waited for him to come closer, grabbed his palm and took a look. Upon seeing this, he couldn't help feeling sad. He saw that his originally fair and slender palm had now shed a layer of skin, and was now red and creepy.
Gu Tinghuai quickly hid his hands behind his back and said with a simple smile: "It's okay, big brother, it doesn't hurt."
Gu Yuehuai lowered his eyes and said nothing. It doesn't hurt? How could it not hurt?
"Drink some water, big brother." Gu Yuehuai said nothing more and poured water from the earthenware jar. Gu Tinghuai took it and drank it all. He couldn't help but exclaimed like Gu Zhifeng: "Nannan, did you put sugar in it?"
Gu Yuehuai chuckled and didn't say anything.
"Keep the candy for yourself. Big brother is a man. Don't add sugar water when drinking it next time, okay?" Gu Tinghuai shook his head with a wry smile. However, he didn't know if it was an illusion or what, but after drinking the water, the fatigue in his body was relieved a lot.
"Brother has been assigned to the second team. Chen Kang will inevitably look for an opportunity to take revenge. Brother has been silently endured. If he goes too far, you can directly say that he is seeking revenge for personal gain. At worst, you can report it to the branch secretary. Got it?"
"Our family will gradually get back on track. This requires gradual progress. There is really no need for Big Brother to put up with his wrath."
When Gu Yuehuai thought of Chen Kang, he couldn't help but feel cold in his heart.
Gu Tinghuai smiled but said nothing. He couldn't help but drink another bowl of water. Then he thought of what his sister had just said and asked, "Nannan, you just said that Chen Yin was caught cheating by Director Wang? What happened?"
Gu Yuehuai shrugged without comment and briefly explained what had happened.
"What? Tian Jing and Chen Yin actually teamed up to bully you?" Gu Tinghuai couldn't help but frown when he heard it, with a look of displeasure on his face. If it wasn't working hours now, he would have wanted to go over and stand up for his sister.
Gu Yuehuai's eyebrows were like a crescent moon, and she smiled and said, "Wouldn't it be better if they were the ones who suffered in the end?"
Gu Tinghuai looked at her, his brows relaxed and he couldn't help laughing.
"I guess Director Wang will use this incident to find some benefits for me, and our life will get better and better." Gu Yuehuai couldn't bear to put too much pressure on Gu Tinghuai, so he revealed some inside information in advance.
Hearing this, Gu Tinghuai's eyes lit up slightly, and he raised his hand and gently patted the top of Gu Yuehuai's head: "Our daughter is amazing."
He used to think Tian Jing was a good person, but he didn't expect that he was wrong. In the future, he will have to have a good talk with the second brother and stay away from Tian Jing. Not to mention whether she can fall in love with the second brother, even if she does, she can't enter the Gu family with such deep scheming, otherwise, won't the whole family suffer?
Gu Yuehuai opened his mouth and originally wanted to talk about painting murals for the team, but after thinking about it, he decided to talk about it in the evening. After all, it was a big happy event for the family, and he wanted to make everyone happy in the evening.
The brother and sister talked for a while until the sound of "Hey Yo... Hey Yo..." came from the river again. Gu Tinghuai said, "Nannan, big brother has to go back to work."
Gu Yuehuai nodded, and when he saw Gu Tinghuai getting up to leave, he suddenly thought of something, reached out and shook the earthenware jar, there was still some well water left in it, so he shouted, "Brother, wait a minute!"
"What's wrong, Nannan?" Gu Tinghuai was puzzled.
Gu Yuehuai said, "I heard that if you get hurt, you should rinse it with water immediately to wash away all the dirt so that you can heal faster. There is still some water left in the jar. Come over and wash your hands, big brother."
Gu Tinghuai laughed and said, "Where are you going to listen to these nonsense? Besides, there is sugar water in your earthenware jar. It would be a waste to use it to wash your hands. Come on, big brother is a man, why would he care about such a small injury?"
Gu Yuehuai didn't want to listen anymore, so he pulled Gu Tinghuai's hand and rinsed it with the remaining well water in the earthenware jar. Although it couldn't work as quickly as a miracle drug, it at least relieved the pain, which was better than nothing.
Gu Tinghuai watched the bloodstains and dust on his palms being washed away, and felt a refreshed feeling.
Gu Yuehuai waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brother, go ahead and don't tire yourself out. I'm going to town and will come back to make you something delicious in the evening."
"In town?" Gu Tinghuai paused, thought for a moment, took out a few bills from his pocket and stuffed them into Gu Yuehuai's hand, then turned and ran, waving his hands as he ran: "Go quickly, the sooner you go, the sooner you will be back!"
Gu Yuehuai lowered his eyes and looked at the fifty cents in his hand, a warm feeling rising between his brows.
She stuffed the money into her pocket, picked up the jar and went home.
She has to take on a mural painting assignment tomorrow, so it's not easy to find time to go to town. So she plans to take advantage of the free time this afternoon to go to town and take the gold to the black market in town to see if there is a market for it.
When he returned home, Gu Yuehuai saw Gu Xihuai sitting in the yard reading a book.
She didn't disturb Gu Xihuai who was lost in thought. She put the clay pot on the stove and went into the room, locking the door.
Sumeru space.
As soon as he stepped on the grass, Gu Yuehuai smelled a strong aroma of wheat. The wheat seedlings had already sprouted ears. The yellow ears were full of grains, hanging heavily on the stems, rolling out golden waves.
The scene was quite spectacular. Gu Yuehuai watched it and couldn't help but close his eyes and take a deep breath of the intoxicating fragrance.
The soil in the space did not disappoint. The wheat ears were very large and pleasing to the eye. According to her estimation, if all these wheat ears were ground into flour, it would weigh at least 50 kilograms!
A pound of white flour sells for 1.8 cents on the market, and you have to add a ticket. So she can sell these 50 pounds of white flour for nine yuan!
Nine dollars may not sound like a lot, but it was a huge sum of money in the 1970s. Besides, wheat grows so fast in the Sumeru space, and if she can harvest one wave a day, the profit she can get in the long run will be considerable.
Of course, exchanging flour for money on the black market is not a long-term solution. She still has to find a job.
In today's world, the only way to gain respect is to find a decent job.
Gu Yuehuai originally wanted to pick the wheat ears and take them to the black market to exchange for money, but after thinking about the time, he gave up the idea and only took some chili peppers. In a market where grain is king, chili peppers may not be sold.
She went to the warehouse again and took five gold pieces from the box.
Gu Yuehuai left the Sumeru space, wrapped the peppers and gold in a piece of red cloth and put them in a basket. She also took out the white mesh shoes with trumpet creeper that she had previously painted with colored pencils, put them down neatly, and covered the basket with a layer of dark cloth, covering it tightly. Then she hurriedly left the Dalaozi Production Brigade and went to the town.
