Yu Rujia wasn't the only one who knew how to eat; others did too. Pork offal wasn't as popular as pork, but it didn't require tickets and was considered meat, so it would be snapped up as soon as it came out. If you went late, it was hard to say whether you'd be able to find any.
Yu Rujia took out a stack of meat coupons and handed them to him: "Buy more if you find any. If not, just buy meat directly. Don't worry about the coupons. I have several hundred here."
Before going to the countryside, she asked Chen Tianming to give her a large pile of meat coupons. After arriving here, she received another two or three hundred meat coupons. After two months, she hadn't even used a fraction of them.
The main reason is that when she goes out, she takes the opportunity to take out some fresh meat from her space. She doesn't use much money or coupons, as she has plenty of these things.
Gao Shujing wasn't short of meat coupons. Before he went to the countryside, Xia Taishun and his wife gave him all the meat coupons they had at home and even had someone exchange them for many more so he could bring them with him. He also had one or two hundred meat coupons in his hand, so he didn't accept the meat coupons that Yu Rujia handed him.
Gao Shujing: "I brought a lot of meat coupons with me when I went to the countryside. You can keep these for later use."
Seeing that he insisted on not taking the ration coupon, Yu Rujia had no choice but to retract her offer: "Fine, when you go to town, try to bring back some newspapers. I want to know more about what's happening outside."
Before she went to the countryside, she donated hundreds of prescriptions to the director of the Yanjing Institute of Materia Medica. She didn't know what the outcome was. Now she works as a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. If someone dislikes her and secretly reports her, it will be another troublesome matter.
Two or three months later, those prescriptions must have reached a conclusion. She believed that with these things as a foundation, traditional Chinese medicine would be given more importance, and some titles would no longer be attached to traditional Chinese medicine, which would give her a sense of security in practicing medicine.
When Secretary Li received the bicycle, he was just as excited as Captain Huang had been. He rode it around the team a few times, and everyone in the team knew that the first bicycle that Gao Shujing had assembled had been taken by Secretary Li.
Some burly men, oblivious to the danger, deliberately teased Captain Huang. Huang, feeling wronged by having his love stolen, went to Gao Shujing to ask when the next bicycle would be available.
Last time, Gao Shujing brought back too much waste with a tractor. Not wanting to make a mess of his house, he built a shed in the front yard and put all the waste inside.
Captain Huang had come a few times before, but we didn't take it seriously.
Now that he sees that waste can make money, these things are no longer just waste in his eyes, but rather large sums of money. When dealing with large sums of money, you can't be too careful.
Seeing this, Captain Huang felt a sharp pain in his heart: "Gao Zhiqing, how could you leave the parts in the shed? What if they get damaged by the wind and rain?"
Gao Shujing's mind raced, and he knew why he would say such a thing. He pretended not to understand and said, "It's always been like this."
Captain Huang frowned: "No, we need to find a safer place to store these things. I'll have someone replace this shed with a mud house in the next few days."
Gao Shujing: "We'll use up the stuff in a few months at most, there's no need to go through all this trouble, is there?"
Captain Huang insisted, "Yes, we'll increase the search and try to get more scrap materials for you to assemble. It'll be better to get a mud house; it'll just take a little more labor."
Gao Shujing: "Okay, I'll listen to the captain. You didn't come here just for this, did you?"
Captain Huang's face broke into a big smile: "Gao Zhiqing, when will the next bicycle be assembled?"
Gao Shujing: "It will take eight or nine days at the fastest, and half a month at the slowest. These things can't be rushed."
Captain Huang said indignantly, "Old Li is a scoundrel. He stole the bicycle I had my eye on. Once the next one is repaired, don't ride it out. Just let me know and I'll come and get it from you."
Gao Shujing smirked: "Besides Secretary Li, who else in the brigade would dare to steal your bicycle?"
Captain Huang recalled the frenzy his team members had shown when they saw the first bicycle; if it hadn't been in his possession, he certainly wouldn't have been able to get his hands on it. The title of captain wasn't always effective.
Captain Huang: "There are plenty of others, but just remember not to ride them out."
After receiving Gao Shujing's nod and explaining the price of the bicycle, Captain Huang left satisfied.
Yu Rujia, who had overheard the whole thing next door, brought it up during dinner that evening: "For every thing you fix, you get a one-tenth of the profit as a bonus. Add in the work points, and your income is no worse than that of city workers. You're really something."
Gao Shujing glanced at the man. Luckily, they were in the countryside, where they could find meat by going up the mountain and down the river.
If this man lived in the city, with his habit of wanting meat and fine grains at every meal, plus his several nephews with big appetites, his income would definitely not be enough to support his aunt and nephews. It seems he will have to work harder to earn money.
Gao Shujing: "When I go to town, I'll buy extra meat to celebrate."
Duolu's ears twitched, and he pulled his little face out of the bowl: "Meat, delicious, Duolu wants some."
Gao Shujing put the fed Duoxi aside, wiped the rice grains off Duolu's face, and tapped his little head: "You'll get your share."
Having received an affirmative reply, Duolu continued eating with satisfaction, his title as the number one eater in the Yu family was well-deserved.
Gao Shujing's qualities successfully won over the hearts of women of all ages in Shangfen Brigade. The older women wanted him to marry their daughters and granddaughters, while the younger women wanted to marry him. His doorstep was practically worn down by the constant stream of suitors.
Zheng Lanlan, a well-known beauty in the brigade, stood at the gate of Gao Shujing's courtyard with a blush on her face, carrying a basket: "Gao, this is braised pork made by my mother. It's so delicious. You should try it."
Zheng Lanlan was the pampered daughter of the Zheng family. She didn't have to do any work and was nothing like a village girl. She was beautiful and charming, and at the prime of her youth, she was pleasing to the eye.
Gao Shujing: "I cannot accept a reward without merit. Braised pork is precious. Please take it back, Comrade Zheng. I have other things to do, so I will not entertain Comrade Zheng."
Zheng Lanlan: "Is Gao Zhiqing going to repair bicycles? Can you teach me? I want to learn too."
Learning to repair bicycles was just an excuse. Zheng Lanlan now only wanted to take advantage of her proximity to Gao Shujing, who was the best unmarried man she had ever met. In addition, he was also good-looking. Zheng Lanlan had already secretly fallen for him.
Zheng Lanlan has been the most frequent visitor to Gao Shujing these past few days, always bringing something with her.
Unfortunately, Gao Shujing was not a chivalrous person. He appeared gentle on the surface, but in reality, he was very distant from people he did not approve of, and he never accepted anything that Zheng Lanlan brought.
Today was another unsuccessful day for Zheng Lanlan. Gao Shujing said, "It's not convenient for Comrade Zheng to stay here. Please take your things and go back first."
