Chapter 87 Business
Su Jinxiang was able to come this time with the consent of Secretary Su.
Secretary Su also heard about Gu Ci's heroic deed of saving a child from drowning when he came to the commune yesterday. He also heard that Gu Ci was in the newspaper, and he felt satisfied.
Especially since Gu Ci's family is well-off, if the youngest daughter marries him, then the things that Gu Ci's parents give to Gu Ci will also become their own things, right?
Therefore, Secretary Su generously asked his daughter to bring a bag of biscuits to visit the patient.
Although that bag of biscuits was given to him by other educated youth who asked for something.
"Gu Zhiqing," Su Jinxiang came to Gu Ci's bedside, with a look of joy on her face: "I finally see you, let me take care of you from now on?"
Gu Ci, who was waiting for Chu Hong on the hospital bed and dozing off, was so frightened when he heard her words that he almost jumped up and immediately refused: "I'm fine now, and I'm going to go through the discharge procedures later."
When the old couple of the He family heard what Gu Ci said, they almost laughed out loud.
They also discovered that Gu Ci was almost recovered, but he was using the excuse of a headache to stay in the hospital eating, drinking and sleeping.
He's just like a second-rate guy who deserves a beating.
But I didn't expect that a girl could scare him so much that he had to be discharged from the hospital. It's so funny.
The old couple of the He family think this is more interesting than watching TV!
Su Jinxiang also wanted to be closer to him, so she sat down on the hospital bed. Gu Ci was so scared that he quickly got up and jumped off the bed.
Fortunately, it was winter now and he was still wearing cotton trousers, so his nakedness was not exposed.
After that, he acted like a decent woman who had met a second-rate guy. He quickly put on his clothes and pants, and then said seriously across the hospital bed, "Comrade Su, I have a partner."
I am very glad that Chu Hong and I have already held hands. I don't feel guilty when saying this, and I feel very confident.
"My partner is quite cautious and very nervous towards me. He doesn't like seeing me getting too close to other lesbians, and he doesn't allow me to talk to them too much."
He was just expressing his thoughts.
But his cautious look now shows his attitude of "don't get close to me".
Uncle He didn't want to miss anything, so he gently sat up from his bed to watch the fun.
Aunt He also turned sideways towards them, staring at them with half-closed eyes.
"What did you say?" Su Jinxiang was shocked: "You lied to me, they all said you didn't have a partner."
She pressed on: "If you really have a partner, tell me who she is?"
Gu Ci hesitated, but still didn't say Chu Hong's name: "This is my private matter, there is no need to report it to you."
The relationship between the Su family and the Song family is not good now. He is afraid that if he tells the truth, it will make Su Jinxiang feel dark.
This was not because he had foresight, but because he had seen many such things when he was in Shencheng.
The newspapers reported on divorces, severance of relations between parents and children, and even more outrageous things, which made him much more cautious.
Su Jinxiang was used to being flattered, and she didn't expect that he didn't appreciate her sincerity. She cried and glared at him: "Gu Ci, just wait for me."
After saying that, he turned and ran.
After watching her leave, Mr. He shook his head and said, "She is angry because of shame. You better be careful next time."
"Don't be alone with her, or else she will accuse you of being a scoundrel to her, and you won't be able to clear yourself of the charges even if you jump into the Yellow River."
Gu Ci took his words to heart: "I will be careful."
Uncle He glared at him again: "Can you please have some sense? Hurry and close the door."
Aunt He also glared at her husband: "How can you talk like that, old man?"
Gu Ci didn't take it seriously and cooperated by closing the door: "It's because of me that you were disturbed."
Aunt He smiled at him with a kind and gentle expression: "Gu Zhiqing, you have a good temper and are a kind person. You are a good man worthy of trust."
Uncle He said sarcastically, "With his pretty face, only the ladies who value looks would think he's good."
Gu Ci has become accustomed to the old couple arguing from time to time. In the end, the one who admits defeat and apologizes first will definitely be the elder.
He thought that he was already up, so he prepared to go out for a walk, and said to Chu Yan, "I'm going to go out for a walk."
Chu Yan is still wondering who his cousin likes? Or are you just trying to please others? Hearing this, he nodded silently.
On the other hand, after Chu Hong followed her cousin to the enamelware pot factory, she followed her to the office to meet the sales manager.
If the sales director had not heard Wu Yinghong talk about Chu Hong's deeds before, and had not found out from the commune that Wu Yinghong was not bragging, he would not have believed that the young and pretty Chu Hong could have such ability.
"Hello, Comrade Song." The sales director was very talkative and could always praise people to the fullest: "Seeing is believing. I never thought that Comrade Song was not only young and beautiful, but also very smart. She was able to come up with the good idea of exchanging grain for pots."
"We and the general public are all contributing to the construction of socialism."
He talked incessantly and did not forget to pour her a cup of hot water.
Chu Hong listened to him speaking without pausing, and she admired his eloquence. She took the enamel teacup he handed to her with both hands and smiled shyly: "I am also a country boy, and I am reluctant to buy an enamel basin with my own money. But if I have to exchange it for food, my family will buy an enamel basin even if we have to tighten our belts."
What she said was actually praising the enamel basin, saying that she was willing to buy the basin even though she was hungry.
"I just don't know what your requirements are? Do you want paddy or rice? How many pounds for a washbasin?"
The sales manager muttered to himself: If I hadn’t seen you riding a bicycle here, I would have almost believed your nonsense that you would trade for a washbasin even if you were hungry.
But it is undeniable that what she said did sound pleasant to the ear.
They discussed this in meetings yesterday and today, and also went to the Grain Administration Bureau to ask: "The enamel washbasin in the supply and marketing cooperative is 3.80 yuan each."
"Rice is now 1.2 cents per pound, which means 32 pounds of rice can be exchanged for a washbasin."
Chu Hong suspected that they thought she couldn't calculate: "1.2 cents per pound, 10 pounds is 1.2 yuan, 30 pounds is 3.6 yuan, so it should be 31 pounds and 6 ounces, right?"
"And the supply and marketing cooperative sells them for 3.80 yuan each. You must be paying them the wholesale price. Otherwise, how would the supply and marketing cooperative make a profit to pay the sales staff?"
He sighed with embarrassment, "Director, I'm not being picky, but what you gave me is a defective product. Country people are ignorant and uneducated, so they would think it's something else."
Finally, he smiled embarrassedly and said, "My father scolded me for being stupid before. This is not a good job. If I fail, I will be unpopular with everyone and it will be a thankless job."
Finally, he said sincerely: "Since your main factory is willing to take rice, and you know how to do it, then you can just go to the countryside and exchange it."
If she hadn't expressed this, would the factory have thought they were getting an advantage and some benefit?
Of course, if there was really no benefit, she would definitely not be willing to do this losing business.
Besides, she at least understands people's hearts. If they really want to do it themselves, it will be none of her business.
