Chapter 266 Difficult Birth 4
Secretary Su looked at his eldest son and asked, "Boss, what do you say?"
Su Hongqi hesitated, then nodded: "It's good to let her come back, but I'm afraid she won't agree."
At the beginning, it was indeed Chen Mei that he liked more because she was young, beautiful, and knew how to dress up and act coquettishly.
But after she had a child, she became lazy and couldn't do housework. She couldn't even make cloth shoes. .
She also accused him of being inconsiderate, disliked him for not supporting her, and complained about his bad parents.
This reminded him of when Chu Tong was around. Her room was always clean and tidy, she never quarreled with her younger siblings, and she never complained to him about her parents' favoritism.
What's more, he thought about last month, when he followed his father to Lingxia Village for the reservoir drainage issue, and saw Chu Tong wearing a new light blue cotton-padded jacket. Her face had become a little plumper and whiter, and she looked like a young girl.
It was just like the first time I saw her.
But he also remembered that Chu Tong, who was originally talking to someone, immediately turned cold and left after seeing him.
The look on his face showed that he still resented me.
However, after he came back, he had several dreams about the time when he just got married to her, and he felt a little restless.
He felt a little regretful and felt that he should not let Chu Tong down.
But she didn't want to regret it, after all, it was her who couldn't give birth to a son.
If he didn't divorce her and get along with Chen Mei, he would have no son to take care of him in his old age and no one to break pots for him.
Now that Chen Mei is gone, he would certainly be willing if Chu Tong could come back and live with him.
Aunt Su sneered: "Why would she not want to? She can't give birth to a son. With her condition, who would want to marry her in the future?"
But thinking about the fact that Chu Tong took away a sum of money and the dowry she brought back when she divorced, Aunt Su was also tempted: "Go and say a few nice words to her and ask her to come back."
After hearing what his biological mother said, Su Hongqi gained more confidence and looked at his biological father.
Secretary Su also sighed: "It would be great if Chu Tong could bring Xiao Yuer back, then you can have both a son and a daughter."
"Xiao Yu'er is also the only girl in our family. We will definitely pay attention to her in the future."
"If they come back, Xiaoyuer won't be looked down upon as a fatherless child when he grows up."
Secretary Su secretly gave Su Hongqi ten yuan and some tickets: "Go buy some meat. We have cigarettes and alcohol at home. Go to the Song family in a decent manner. It will also let them know that you care about Chu Tong."
He also made a promise to his eldest son: "After a few years, my position will definitely be left to you, and your wife will have face when she goes out in the future."
In fact, he had worked so hard to get the position of branch secretary that he was reluctant to step down until the day he died.
These words were not only meant to coax his son, but also to coax Secretary Su.
Anyway, he believed that Chu Tong would have difficulty getting married with such a burden, so now he was telling them that when Chu Tong came back, she would be the secretary's wife and respected by the villagers. How great that would be.
Su Hongqi's blood boiled after hearing this and he nodded immediately, imagining himself being the one with the final say in the village and being admired by everyone.
Gu Ci arrived home on April 2nd.
Even if He Zhigang was not there, he had secretly contacted He Zhigang's master before, and the master had been thinking about the fabric for a long time, so of course they hit it off.
He also helped Gu Ci get to know the captain of the transport team.
The captain knew the approximate departure time, so Gu Ci only stayed for one more day and then caught a ride back.
In the past two days, Secretary Song has been thinking that his son-in-law will be back soon, so he asked his father to drive a ox cart to the station.
Therefore, Gu Ci got off the truck, got on the ox cart, and returned home with a lot of bags.
When we returned to the village, everyone was eating dinner outside with their bowls in hand and gossiping. When they saw the full cart, they all followed them with their bowls in hand, excitedly asking if there was any cloth inside.
After all, the fabrics that Gu Zhiqing’s relatives sent last year were really good, and they all wanted to get a bargain, right?
There must be cloth. Last winter, I asked Captain Xie to help arrange a transport team to bring some cloth back.
We also talked and asked them to pick a bag of the cloth that was brought over. Of course, they had to pay for it.
This time, no exception, a bag of cloth was left for them.
Gu Ci pointed to the two largest cloth bags and said, "I brought two bags back. It's getting dark today. After work tomorrow, uncles and aunts who need some can come and pick some up."
Tonight, my family will definitely pick out the ones they like first.
The aunt who was familiar with him asked, "Xiao Gu, what are the contents of the other ten or so bags?"
Gu Ci smiled and said, "They are all dried kelp and the like."
The eyes of the people beside him lit up: "We want some too, can you give us a little more evenly?"
Gu Ci looked shy and said, "Why don't you go ask my parents tomorrow?"
It is clear that you cannot make the decision.
Everyone simply followed them home and said hello to Secretary Wu Xiu of the Song Party Committee in advance.
Secretary Song also said it very nicely: "We are all family, how can I not be willing to let go? But you guys keep your mouths shut about this matter, otherwise we will all be stuck if the news gets out."
Now that private transactions are not allowed, everyone understands: "We are just exchanging kelp, we will never say anything nonsense."
They didn't dare to say anything because there were too many people and too little porridge. If the news got out, it would be less for them when it was their turn.
When I was working, I wished there were more people in the village. Now I wish there were half as many people in the village.
The family packed more than ten packages, and Gu Ci carried his backpack back to his room.
Before going to bed at night, Gu Cicai and Chu Hong presented their treasures: "I went to the black market over there and bought some jewelry this time. Take a look and see if there is anything you like."
Chu Hong opened some beautifully carved jade pendants wrapped in a towel, as well as some gold-inlaid jade rings and various gold and jade bracelets. The more she looked at them, the more she liked them. She hugged his head and kissed him like a chicken pecking at rice: "I like them, I like them very much. Gu Ci, you have a good eye."
Before leaving, Gu Ci also told him that if he gave him 200 yuan, he would go to the black market and buy some if he saw something suitable.
Chu Hong was of course willing and gave him three hundred yuan directly.
After all, now is the time when these things are the cheapest. In a few years, they can be sold at tens of millions times the price.
And she also admitted that Gu Ci had better vision than herself.
Gu Ci felt so proud that his wife was so enthusiastic towards him.
Even though I was a little tired from the long journey, fortunately I was young and energetic, and I still spent a wonderful half night with great passion.
The next day, Chu Hong did not go out and packed the packages he brought back with her sisters.
Apart from two large bags of cloth, the rest was food.
Two bags of sesame cakes, containing two hundred each.
Two bags of kelp, weighing over 100 pounds.
There are also bacon, pickled fish, salted hairtail, dried fish, seaweed and so on.
What surprised Chu Hong the most was that Gu Ci also brought back more than ten kilograms of dried cuttlefish and several kilograms of dried shrimps.
This made her feel that the three hundred dollars was worth it.
