Extra Chapter 5
Nowadays, people don’t dare to come here to buy things openly. It’s like going to the black market, and the busiest time is around five or six in the morning.
So after they had breakfast, it was almost ten o'clock and fewer people came.
Song Dongzheng led the children to watch over the place and greet the occasional guests, while Chu Hong and the others went to another room to count the money.
There were more denominations of 1fen, 2fen, 5fen, 10 cents, 20 cents and 50 cents, while there were fewer denominations of 1 yuan, 2 yuan, 5 yuan and 10 yuan, so the four cloth bags were almost full.
Secretary Song was a careful person and asked everyone to order twice.
In the end, it was calculated that it had been sold for more than 1,800 yuan.
Secretary Song immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "The capital is almost recovered, so it won't be a big loss."
The cost of more than a thousand poultry, plus poultry eggs, is two thousand two hundred and three yuan. We still have a lot of poultry now, right?
In the afternoon, Chu Hong and Gu Ci changed their clothes and prepared to go out for a walk with their parents.
I didn't go far, I just planned to take a walk around the area.
Because apart from them, all the other adults and children went shopping and watched movies.
As they went out, Gu Ci saw the woman who stopped her bicycle, paused and narrowed his eyes.
If Liu Jialing hadn't looked at Gu Ci with surprise, Gu Ci would have definitely left without even looking back, pretending that he hadn't seen her.
But he had already been discovered by her, and Gu Ci did not hide.
Why should I hide from her? It's not like I'm shameful.
In fact, he was eager to let everyone know that he and his wife had been admitted to university, which was indeed a good thing to bring honor to the family at that time.
And his wife is so beautiful, he also wants to show her off more, right?
Just like when school started, he would go to the classroom to pick up Chu Hong every now and then, fearing that other male classmates didn't know that Chu Hong was a married woman and would pursue her.
In short, if you don't make it public, it's like walking in the night in gorgeous clothes.
So he nodded first: "Aunt Liu, long time no see."
Liu Jialing didn't dare to call him because her stepson was still a young man and frail.
But now he is wearing a black wool coat, which makes him look even taller, with broad shoulders and long legs. He is a very charming man.
But he looks like Gu Haihua.
Seeing him, it was as if I saw Gu Haihua when I first met him. He was also so young and handsome.
But when she thought that Gu Ci should be in the countryside, she began to suspect that she had seen it wrong and it was just a young man who looked very much like her man.
But unexpectedly, he was the first to call me. This address and this nonchalant attitude definitely made him look like the unfilial stepson.
The first thought that popped into Liu Jialing's mind was: "Why are you back? Where are your wife and son?"
After saying that, he glanced at the young woman next to him.
The woman had fair skin, pretty eyebrows and eyes full of water. She could really be described as young and beautiful without any hesitation.
She was also wearing a black woolen coat of the same color. There was no way she could be the peasant he married in the countryside.
Therefore, her first reaction was that Gu Ci had managed to climb up the social ladder by virtue of his good looks.
In recent years, people who went to the countryside have returned to the city one after another, and she has heard too many stories of them abandoning their families and daughters.
Gu Ci said calmly, "This is my wife, Comrade Song Chuhong. We were admitted to university last year, but because of the busy academic schedule, we didn't have time to go home."
"Now that school is on vacation, why don't you go home?"
This was really infuriating. No matter how busy her studies were, she couldn't possibly have no time to go home. Moreover, this year, Gu Haihua still asked her to remit him money every month.
If I had known he was admitted to university, I would have stopped the remittance.
She knew that the university now provided subsidies, which were enough for him to eat and drink.
Thinking of this, she felt very uneasy and helpless. How could she let him get into university? If her man knew about it, he would definitely feel very proud.
I will look at Gu Ci differently and be proud of him.
However, the academic performance of his son and daughter was only average. Compared with Gu Ci, they were far behind.
Liu Jialing wanted him to disappear, but she didn't dare to show her true thoughts. She could only force a smile and said, "That's fine. Your dad has been thinking about you. Let's go back and give him a surprise."
After saying that, he couldn't help but glance at Chu Hong: "How old are you? You don't look like you've had a child?"
She still couldn't believe that Gu Ci was so lucky that he could meet such a beautiful country girl when he went to the countryside.
Looking at her, she really looks like the daughter of a city leader, right?
She even suspected whether this was Gu Ci's second marriage.
Chu Hong couldn't help but laugh: "Aunt Liu, you are also very young."
"Maybe it's because my parents and Gu Ci took care of me after I gave birth to my son. Now I'm admitted to university. The environment here is good. Grandpa Chu and the others also take good care of me. That's why I look younger, right?"
Gu Ci was willing to go home because he thought Chu Hong had little money left and wanted to ask for some money.
Thinking about it this way, I feel a little regretful. My eldest sister had taken the children out to play before. Otherwise, she could have brought the two sons home and asked for an extra gift.
But it doesn’t matter. I will go back today and remind Lao Gu to prepare more red envelopes.
Chu Hong and Gu Ci had been together for a long time, so she immediately understood what he was thinking and cooperated with him: "Auntie, are you here to buy chickens and ducks? There are some left, go buy them quickly."
Liu Jialing looked at them with empty hands and twitched her lips: "Why didn't you buy anything? If the price is too expensive, then I won't buy it."
She really didn't want to buy it. Wouldn't it be cheaper if she bought it so they could eat meat?
Chu Hong looked embarrassed: "We have spent all our money on clothes. We have no money left to buy chickens, ducks and geese."
"The prices here are affordable. Auntie, buy more and I'll show you my skills at noon."
"Don't worry, Auntie. I'm a good cook. I can make braised chicken, old duck soup, and goose stewed in an iron pot."
Liu Jialing: Thank you, but I don’t want to buy it.
Unfortunately, she still gritted her teeth and went to buy it, for she was afraid that Gu Ci, the ungrateful man, would go back and complain.
Besides, she just heard the news from a colleague by accident. If the price is really right, she can go back and tell her colleagues and sell it at a good price.
Since her medical skills are not good enough, she can only rely on being friendly and a good person to prevent people from having too high expectations of her.
Fortunately, Liu Jialing didn't know Secretary Song and Wu Xiu yet. After finding out that there were some surplus poultry here, she bought two chickens and thirty goose eggs and took them back.
The main reason is that the goose eggs are big, and Chu Hong deliberately asked for a high price of 1.5 cents each. Few people are willing to buy at this price. Anyway, the goose eggs have not been sold yet today.
Chu Hong was hoping that no one would buy them and they would just leave them all for themselves.
But Liu Jialing likes to eat goose eggs, and her salary is not low, so she is naturally willing to buy them.
Liu Jialing led the way on a bicycle, while Gu Ci and Chu Hong followed behind on their bicycles.
After riding the bike for about half an hour, I finally got home.
Liu Jialing was in a hurry to cook: "You guys sit anywhere, don't be restrained, I'll go cook lunch first."
