Chapter 115 Delicious
Chu Dan didn't know what her sister was thinking at the moment, but felt a little embarrassed: "Then you worked in vain, didn't you?"
The main reason is that she now feels that her second sister is very good at making money and also likes making money.
Now she was shocked to hear that Chu Hong was willing to sell it at the original price.
Chu Hong waved her hand and said, "The He family has been good to you, so it's only natural for me to help out a little. I'll go back first."
It was the afternoon of the 25th day of the first lunar month when Chu Hong and Gu Ci came to town again.
Because Gu Ci still had to go to work in the morning, the team leader originally did not agree to his request for leave, because Secretary Su had already informed him that he would "add more burden" to Gu Zhiqing.
This "adding burden" in a factory or system means that the leader values you and is prepared to make use of you.
But in the countryside, this means adding burden to one's work, and he will be asked to do all the dirty and tiring work.
But the captain thought of Gu Ci who had reported the incident some time ago because he saved someone.
I also heard that Gu Ci was dating the second daughter of the Party Secretary of Lingxia Village. I felt that there was no need to offend that person just because of what Lao Su said, so I agreed to let him take half a day off.
Gu Ci had agreed on a meeting time with Chu Hong a few days ago. He quickly finished his meal, and seeing that there was still half an hour left before the agreed time, he immediately boiled water and took a bath.
These days he was either picking up cow dung or applying fertilizer to wheat, and he always felt that there was a smell on his body.
Afraid of suffocating Chu Hong, he naturally had to clean up thoroughly to avoid her misunderstanding that he was not clean.
Gu Ci is now very afraid of being plotted against, and he specifically asks Zhang Jianming to guard the door for him.
After all, their bathroom was made of bamboo and straw curtains, and the door was just a thin wooden door. He was worried that a female comrade would come in while he was taking a shower.
Zhang Jianming thought about the dirty and tiring work he had been assigned to do these days, and reminded him at the door: "I think you should settle down with a partner as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'm worried that you will be exhausted to death."
He used to think it was inappropriate for Gu Ci to find a partner in the countryside, but seeing that he was exhausted these days, he felt that it would be better for Gu Ci to get married as soon as possible, otherwise he was worried that he would be exhausted.
What was also not said was that Gu Ci did dirty work, had a smell on his body, and went to bed without taking a shower, which caused great trouble to his roommate.
Gu Ci rinsed first, applied some soap, and asked him to help rub his back. Finally, he rinsed it clean, patted his shoulder and said, "Your idea is good. If my girlfriend and her family agree, I will treat you to braised pork at the state-owned restaurant."
After that, she handed him the basin with dirty clothes and said, "I'm running out of time. Put it in the room for me. I'll come back to wash it in the evening."
Zhang Jianming thought of the braised pork and immediately agreed with a smile on his face.
Gu Ci trotted out of the village and looked around on the side of the road. He didn't see Chu Hong. He looked at his watch again. It was almost twelve o'clock. Why hadn't she come yet?
He felt that he should buy Chu Hong a watch so that she could check the time conveniently.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Chu Hong came over on her bicycle. When she saw him, she got off the bike and asked him to ride with her.
"I'm sorry, I'm late." Chu Hong patted the cotton pad on the back seat, waited for him to start riding slowly forward, then jumped on the back seat and told him why she was late: "I, the director of women's affairs, finally have a place to use my skills. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of my sixth uncle's family are fighting, and they asked me to mediate."
In Lingxia Village, there are many conflicts between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, but most of them can maintain superficial harmony.
The only exception was my sixth uncle's family, because the couple favored their youngest son, so not only were the two daughters-in-law dissatisfied, but the two sons also wanted to separate. ,
In fact, this incident happened several times last year, and the villagers all went to watch the fun.
But the two old people didn't want to divide the family property, and they were holding on to the money and were unwilling to give it up, so the situation remained deadlocked.
Some time ago, the youngest son married the female educated youth Wu Fenfang. Now the third wife refuses to go to work, and they are quarreling over this again.
Gu Ci heard that she looked relaxed, so he smiled and asked while riding his bike, "How did you solve such a difficult problem?"
Chu Hong laughed and said, "I gave my eldest and second sisters-in-law a bad idea. I told them not to go to work and just eat whatever is available at home."
Of course, before coming up with this bad idea, she first asked clearly whether they were determined to separate.
Just in case, the captain was asked to be a witness.
The eldest and second sisters-in-law were not the kind of people who would be willing to waste things. After hearing her words, they said embarrassedly that all the cupboards in the house were locked, and the food was in the room of my parents-in-law, so they couldn't get anything.
Chu Hong could only say frankly that the lock on the cupboard could be chopped off with a hatchet, and her parents-in-law's room could be entered with one foot.
If there is no other option, kill the rooster and the hens first and have a good meal.
The eldest sister-in-law finally reacted: "Chu Hong is right. Even if we don't want to eat this chicken, it will not be given to us when the family is divided in the future. Let's go kill the chicken now."
Chu Hong sighed after she finished speaking: "Hey, I'm worried that I've taught them bad things. How can they be so tolerant?"
Anyway, her idea was to let them follow the mistress's wife and be lazy and gluttonous.
By that time, Sixth Aunt herself will not be able to bear it anymore and will want to separate the family immediately.
After hearing this, Gu Ci praised her flatteringly: "You are really smart. You can control the biased elders with just one move."
Chu Hong also has self-awareness: "It's just that people nowadays are reluctant to eat and drink."
On the surface, Sixth Aunt is partial to the person, but if Sixth Uncle hadn't tacitly agreed, she wouldn't dare to go so far.
The reason why they were biased was that when Sixth Aunt was pregnant with her third mistress, a fortune teller who passed by said that the son in her belly would have a promising future and she would enjoy a happy life in the second half of her life.
It is possible that the fortune teller said such nice things in order to get her to give him more money.
But Uncle Six and Aunt Six took it seriously and became more and more biased.
Now they still firmly believe that their youngest son will have a bright future. After all, they have paid too much for their youngest son so far, so they can only keep believing.
Chu Hong is worried about those who work in education: "You still have to study, get an education, and broaden your horizons. But it's hard to find capable teachers."
Gu Ci was muttering in his heart: There is a serious tendency of incest and xenophobia in the countryside, and most people look down on the educated youth.
Otherwise, who among these educated youth who went to the countryside cannot be taught?
Of course, for older people, some ideas are so deeply rooted that they can’t be changed.
Like his grandparents, they once had many students all over the world, and they are still fertilizing and weeding the students now.
They were still worried, fearing that those people would come and harass them again.
But he still said, "When the farming season is over, we can ask the educated youth to teach everyone about literacy."
Chu Hong patted his shoulder and said, "Not bad, you are very thoughtful. From now on, you educated youth will also be counted as work points for literacy during the slack season."
Gu Ci would not miss the opportunity to praise his future father-in-law: "It has to be in Lingxia Village. There is a good branch secretary like Uncle Song, so he would bother."
"In Lingtou Village, we educated youth are heroes without a place to use our talents."
He asked again: "Do you have anything else to do in town today?"
