Chapter 151: Do I need this skill?
Gu Siqing felt that since her father had such a good relationship with Han Deyi, if Han Zhengping was not her biological son, her father would have known. If her father knew, it was very likely that her mother knew too.
So she told her mother that Han Zhengping and Han Deyi were not alike. After she finished speaking, she stared at her expression.
My mother paused while washing the dishes, then said without even looking up, "What are you talking about? Zhengping looks like his uncle."
Well, there's a saying that nephews resemble their uncles. But she had met Han Zhengping's two uncles, both of whom were big and strong. Han Zhengping didn't even look like them in the heels.
At this time, I heard my mother say again: "He had a little uncle who was very handsome when he was young, almost like Zhengping. He died when he was seven or eight years old. What a pity."
Gu Siqing: Can this story be made more fake?
At this time, Wang Yueju turned her head and saw Gu Siqing's expression of disbelief. She frowned and said, "Just say that to me, don't tell anyone else."
"What can I say?" Gu Siqing asked, "Is there really something? Mom, tell me, I'm very tight-lipped and will never tell anyone."
"What could be wrong with you, kid? Aren't you going to Hai City? Go pack your things quickly." Wang Yueju changed the subject and drove her away. Seeing that she couldn't get anything out of him, Gu Siqing had to leave.
It looked like Mom must know something. In other words, there was something fishy about Han Zhengping's background. So, did Han Zhengping know about it? Gu Siqing felt that since he was so smart, he must know. How much did he know?
How to ask Han Zhengping?
Gu Siqing scratched her head. This was a highly technical question. If she asked it too vaguely, she wouldn't be able to express herself clearly. If she asked it too directly, it might hurt someone. She had to choose the right time to ask.
This is a mind-numbing thing.
This matter couldn't be resolved in a short time, so Gu Siqing had to let it go for now. Anyway, Han Zhengping was right under her nose, so she just had to keep a closer eye on him.
After Zhang Zijun bought the train ticket, they set off for Hai City.
Although Young Master Zhang usually lives a life of luxury and has never had to serve anyone, he still has the proper manners when going out with three girls, not to mention that one of them is someone he likes.
So, Zhang Shao was running around all the way.
Gu Siqing watched him fetch the water and then go to see if the food was ready in the dining car. She sighed and said, "If we had several sons-in-law in the future, and they were all this capable, we could just sit together and eat sunflower seeds."
Gu Yimin and Gu Erhui couldn't help laughing. Gu Yimin even glared at her and said, "How dare you say anything."
Gu Siqing shrugged. This kind of thing is very likely to happen. In her previous life, she had a colleague whose family also only had girls and no boys. Moreover, her family had more sisters, six sisters.
During the holidays, her father would be busy in the kitchen with his six sons-in-law, while her mother and her six sisters would sit together, watching TV and gossiping. Just thinking about that scene made one envious.
Gu Siqing felt that their son-in-law in this life could move towards this aspect.
Just as they were thinking about it, Zhang Zijun came back and said that the dining car would be open for dinner in half an hour and they could just go over there. Gu Erhui handed him a cup of water and Zhang Zijun happily took it and drank it. At this time, he heard the Gu family's Xiaosi ask him: "Brother Jun, can you cook?"
Zhang Zijun shook his head: "No." When had Young Master Zhang ever entered the kitchen?
Gu Siqing sighed, and Zhang Zijun's heart tightened instantly. He asked, "Do you need this skill?" to be the son-in-law of the Gu family.
Gu Siqing: "Maybe it's necessary, maybe not."
Zhang Zijun turned his head to look at Gu Erhui, who smiled and glared at Gu Siqing: "Don't listen to her nonsense."
Gu Siqing shrugged. "More skills means more competitiveness, right?"
Zhang Zijun didn't say anything, but seemed to be thinking about something.
But Ye Chi was not even noticed!
The train arrived in Haishi around 7pm. There was a state-owned hotel next to the train station, so the four of us used our letters of introduction to book two rooms. We were all exhausted, so we went into the room and lay down to sleep.
There was a restaurant next to the hotel, a private breakfast shop specializing in shengjian (stuffed dumplings) and porridge. The next day, the four of them got up, washed up, and ate at the breakfast shop. Gu Siqing ate two shengjian (stuffed dumplings) and a bowl of porridge for twenty cents, which was incredibly cheap compared to what it would have cost decades later.
After dinner, Gu Siqing left the restaurant and looked around. She found that there were many private shops on this street, selling clothes, shoes, books, etc. As expected of China's economic center, it had already had a strong commercial atmosphere a few years after the reform and opening up.
Gu Erhui and Gu Yimin had the same feeling. Compared with Kyoto, the business atmosphere here was more active and more intense.
"Hai City and Kyoto are still different!" Zhang Zijun said, "Although the country has turned Shenzhen into a special economic zone, it's still not developing as fast as Hai City. This place has an economic foundation."
Gu Siqing turned to look at this former second-generation rich kid. It was true that the things he was exposed to were different, and his experiences were also different. Even though Zhang Zijun was an uneducated second-generation rich kid before, the information he was exposed to was the most advanced in this era.
Although she was reborn, she could not tell her family about some things in her future life without reservation.
She suggested opening a supermarket because the most profitable business in the 1980s was commodity trading, as demand outstripped supply. Furthermore, as long as supermarkets could be built to scale, they would remain a highly profitable business for decades to come.
Of course, the supermarket may just be the beginning of their family business. As long as the supermarket is successful, their wealth will grow like a snowball.
Gu Siqing's mind was full of random thoughts as she followed Gu Erhui and the others onto the bus. After seven or eight stops, they arrived at the supermarket mentioned in the newspaper. It was eight o'clock in the morning, and there was already a long line outside the supermarket.
"Is business so good?" Gu Erhui said in a low voice.
Gu Siqing felt that this was most likely a queue for buying eggs, as supermarkets in later generations often held such activities.
Gu Erhui was already standing at the back of the line, chatting with an elderly woman in her sixties in front of her. Although their different dialects made communication difficult, Gu Erhui still understood why these elderly men and women were queuing: they were queuing to receive free soap, one bar a day.
"With so many people coming to claim them, won't we lose money?" Gu Yimin asked.
Gu Erhui thought for a moment and said, "But more people are coming to buy things. A bar of soap costs five cents, so more things will come out."
"Moreover, if they come here frequently to pick up things, they will form the habit of buying things here in the future," said Gu Siqing.
Gu Erhui's eyes lit up when she heard her words, "Xiao Si is really smart."
