Gu Sinian's sudden approach left Su Ying at a loss. This was someone else's territory. Would this scoundrel suddenly become horny?
With lightning speed, he stuffed a piece of dried yellow peach into Gu Sinian's mouth. His mouth was suddenly full, so he instinctively chewed it a few times and swallowed it.
"It's really delicious. The sourness is completely gone, the sweetness is just right, and it still retains the original aroma of yellow peaches. This stuff will definitely sell like hotcakes once it's dried."
"Yingying, you're amazing! How did you come up with this idea?"
You can't exactly tell him that he learned it from an old lady in his past life.
This method was devised by the old lady to preserve yellow peaches that were about to rot.
The difference was that the yellow peaches from the old lady's house were sweet, while the yellow peaches from the mountain in Willow Village were sour. So she adjusted the sugar ratio, and unexpectedly, it actually worked.
The sour yellow peaches were even more successful than she had expected.
“I had heard my grandma mention this recipe before, so I tried it out, and it actually worked.”
Grandma Su was a highly skilled doctor, so it's not surprising that she knew how to make dried yellow peaches.
Balancing sweet and sour flavors is not difficult for someone who has studied medicine since childhood.
"From now on, you should focus on this. The brigade leader is a man of his word. As long as you can help Willow Village find a way to survive, he will definitely keep his promise to you."
Su Ying nodded. She had this idea because she could tell what kind of person the captain was.
She is shrewd and capable, and although she can be a little selfish at times, she is a good person.
"I have no interest in being the deputy battalion commander. We are husband and wife, and we can transfer when the battalion commander fulfills his promise."
The man felt a sense of helplessness, as if he was disappointed in her, and tapped her on the forehead.
"Are you stupid?"
"You don't even know how to seize such a good opportunity? The position of deputy brigade leader only requires handling some disputes in Willow Tree Village. You can earn full work points just by wandering around here and there every day. Who else do you want to hand over such a good job to?"
"You."
"I?"
“Yes. You are more suitable for this job than me. Gu Jia has a large family, and with this job, Gu Jia can live well in Willow Tree Village.”
“But I’m different. I have other things to do. Even if I didn’t have the job of deputy battalion commander, you would still let people bully me because I’m your wife.”
The man shook his head desperately, determined to risk his life rather than let anyone bully his wife.
"No way. I'll kill anyone who dares to bully you."
Su Ying shrugged. "That settles it then. You need this job more than I do. Gu Jia needs your protection, and you will protect me in return. It's a win-win situation, so why not?"
"Besides, I'm really not good at handling village disputes. You've been a group leader before, so handling these kinds of small things shouldn't be difficult for you."
Since his wife had said that, he had nothing to worry about.
After all, she's right; he needs this job more to better protect his family.
The villagers of Liushu Village, considering that he was the deputy brigade leader, wouldn't make things too difficult for his family.
In the future, when assigning tasks, please give the grandparents some lighter work. They are getting old and really can't handle such a heavy workload.
"Okay. I'll do whatever you say. But then I'll take over your job, so you'll have to work in the fields, right?"
No, having lived through her previous life, she has a hundred ways to avoid those arduous tasks.
When things reach the bridge, things will naturally fall into place. At that time, we'll come up with a way to generate revenue for Liushu Village, and the brigade leader won't really have the heart to let her work in the fields.
"You could have helped me with it back then."
Gu Sinian smiled, the little girl's plan was quite clever.
But there's nothing we can do about it.
Only you can pamper your own wife...
"Okay. I'll do the work assigned to you when the time comes."
Su Ying jumped up excitedly and hugged Gu Sinian, saying, "You're so good to me."
The man casually wrapped his arms around her slender waist and teased her in the ear, "You just said you'd be more reserved in public, but what you're doing now..."
This man is not only stingy but also holds grudges. He just mocked him a little, and this comeback came swiftly.
She pushed the man away forcefully. "That's right. You still need to be careful when you're out."
As his sweet and soft wife left his embrace, Gu Sinian felt a little disappointed. Looking at the woman's resolute back, Gu Sinian felt helpless, realizing he had shot himself in the foot.
He quickly caught up with them.
"Wait for me!"
The four of them worked in the yard all day and finally finished pickling all the yellow peaches as night fell.
"If there's nothing else, we'll be going now. Comrade Sun and Sister Cui'e, the weather has been nice these past few days. Let's drain the water tonight and move it out to sunbathe tomorrow morning. Soon we can take it to the supply and marketing cooperative to sell."
Upon hearing that there was money to be made, Sun Xuelin and Chen Cuie's faces were full of smiles.
"Success or failure hinges on this."
"It's not that serious. As long as the quality of the dried yellow peaches is guaranteed, I have plenty of ways to sell them."
Sun Xuelin and Chen Cuie looked at each other, their faces full of sullen resentment.
"I was still panicking until I saw the money."
Su Ying was helpless. What was the use of her high-sounding words? People already had a preconceived notion that their products wouldn't sell.
She said that drying her throat wouldn't help, and that we should let the facts speak for themselves.
We'll see in two weeks.
"It's getting late, we should go back for dinner. See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow!"
Gu Sinian and Su Ying left the Sun family compound hand in hand. They had lunch at the Sun family's house, but they were not full at all.
Fearing exposure, Su Ying endured it for a whole day. Although she ate the food they brought, the amount was so small that she was already starving.
At that moment, my stomach started growling.
Su Ying touched her stomach shyly.
"Are you hungry? I've seen your stomach growl several times."
Gu Sinian smiled indulgently, "Yes. That was a really loud shout."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Su Ying's stomach rumbled again, "Shut up, stop making that noise!"
Su Ying ran off in a hurry, and Gu Sinian jogged after her, asking, "Why are you walking so fast?"
"Let's eat! Since there aren't many people around, let's hurry up and go into the space to make something to eat. I don't want to eat the communal meals made by the educated youth settlement for dinner."
"Okay. I can agree to your conditions, but you have to agree to one of my conditions in return."
Su Ying had a bad feeling. "Tell me first."
When do you usually go to sleep in your personal space at the educated youth settlement?
Su Ying thought for a moment. When everyone at the educated youth settlement went to sleep, they were all sound asleep after 10 p.m. At that time, if she entered the space, no one would discover her secret.
This has been verified.
Around ten o'clock.
"Okay. From today onwards, I will come to see you at 10 p.m. every night."
