Chapter 60 Gu Yin Gets Hit by a Girlfriend
The construction site was completed ahead of schedule, so the old man could leave earlier. By now, the three of them had earned a total of more than three thousand yuan. They originally thought that this money would be enough for the children's tuition next semester. He didn't know if the family had made any money. Even if they couldn't sell the goods, this money would make this winter and the New Year easier.
Unexpectedly, after getting off the bus in the county, the two sons carried four bags of radios and the grandson carried a bag of tape recorders. After going to several repair shops, they sold them all.
Looking at the money the boss gave him, Gu Jianguo grabbed his granddaughter's hand and whispered excitedly, "This thing makes so much money?"
Gu Yin helped the old man, who vaguely remembered, out the door. Thinking that the old man's heart was fine, she whispered, "This time, Dad and the others went out and sold all the goods they brought back, making 335,000 yuan."
The old man's eyes widened in confusion: "Not three thousand five? Not thirty-five thousand? It's three hundred and thirty-five thousand?"
Gu Yin nodded: "That's right."
The old man pinched his thigh, a sharp pain shooting through him. He was momentarily stunned—it wasn't a dream! Good heavens, he had never seen so much money in his entire life! Back then, having ten thousand yuan was considered extremely fortunate in the village! Although life was much better than before, there were very few families in the village with more than thirty thousand yuan in cash!
He made over 300,000 yuan in one go; it felt like a dream!
Gu Qinglang took out the money, and seeing that the old man was in a daze, he paused, frowned, and stepped forward: "What's wrong, Dad? Are you feeling unwell?"
The old man snapped out of his reverie and shook his head: "All done? How much did you sell this time?"
Seeing that he was really alright, Gu Qinglang smiled and said, "Four packs of radios cost 4,000 yuan, and I made 44,000 yuan. A pack of tape recorders has 600 units, costing 5,000 yuan. I sold them for 35 yuan each, which was 21,000 yuan. I made 16,000 yuan. In total, I made 60,000 yuan. My older brother and I each made 30,000 yuan!"
This trip gave each of them an extra 30,000 yuan in their own savings. They'll go again next time and come back for the New Year, then they'll get even more!
The old man's ears were filled with the sound of "ten thousand, ten thousand, ten thousand." It was true. He never dared to imagine that before, the most the family had in their pockets was a little over ten thousand. Before they could even warm up their pockets, half of it was gone. So, at the end of the year, the old lady only had a few thousand in her pocket. Well, now, with all this "ten thousand, ten thousand, ten thousand," he thought they were a wealthy family!
After selling their goods, the group didn't linger in the county and went straight home after getting into their car.
When they got to the street, Gu Yin told them to go back first. She was going to an internet cafe to upload her novel and write some new chapters. She would have some drafts saved up after finishing the story, so there was no need to rush.
Originally, everyone wanted to keep Gu Shu with her, but Gu Yin insisted that she didn't need to. Gu Shu had been busy for so long and was already exhausted. She told them to go back and rest, and that she would go back at five o'clock. It was still light out, so there was nothing to do. Besides, today was market day, and people were preparing for the New Year. There would be people everywhere on the road, so there was nothing to worry about.
Seeing that she insisted, the group stopped arguing and went home after giving their explanations.
Gu Yin went to the internet cafe. After the holiday, there were still quite a lot of people. A large group of people were gathered at the entrance of the internet cafe, including men and women, and without exception, they all had colorful afros.
If it were this time in her previous life, she definitely wouldn't have dared to go over there, but now, she doesn't have any particular feelings about it.
Just like in her previous life, Gu Yin suddenly became much fairer and taller during the first semester of her first year of junior high school. She has now grown to 1.6 meters tall. Her chest-length hair is tied in a high ponytail, and she is wearing a navy blue turtleneck sweater, which was knitted by her grandmother. Gu Yin asked her to make it longer. She is wearing straight-leg jeans in the same color and black cotton shoes. She looks aloof and cool, but she stands out a lot in a crowd of people with flamboyant and outgoing personalities.
Gu Yin went to the front desk. The boss already recognized her and knew she didn't have an ID card. He raised his head and said, "The usual place. Go ahead."
Gu Yin nodded and went to the inner room, which was full of people. Gu Yin found an empty seat, turned on her computer, and started typing.
The people around her were either listening to music, chatting, or playing games, and the noisy environment did not affect Gu Yin at all.
Xiangyang played a game, lost, and then got up to go to the front desk to buy a can of Coke. When he turned around, he saw Gu Yin by the door. She was fair-skinned and didn't look like someone who had come back to the internet cafe.
In those days, people who came to internet cafes were seen as bad students, and that was indeed the case. In these remote towns, internet cafes were smoky and chaotic, with gangs of hooligans everywhere. Good students were practically nonexistent; even if they passed by, they would quickly run away.
Xiang Yang would pass by Gu Yin's seat on his way to his own, so when he passed by, he glanced at her screen and saw that she was typing. The text was so dense that it made his eyes blurry, so he didn't look at the content. Instead, he noticed her typing speed, which was very fast, even faster than his own, who was used to playing computer games all year round.
Gu Yin sensed someone behind her, stopped pointing, turned around, and saw a boy she didn't recognize.
"What's up?"
Xiangyang, realizing he'd been caught red-handed, wasn't embarrassed at all. He smiled and placed the unopened can of cola on her table: "Want to get to know each other? I'll treat you to a cola."
Gu Yin was a little confused. Was this a flirtation?
Seeing that she didn't speak, Xiangyang smiled and said, "My name is Xiangyang, and I'm from No. 1 Middle School. What about you?"
Gu Yin didn't reply, but looked at the bottle of cola and said coldly, "I'm allergic to cola, you can take it, thank you."
She had seen this kind of approach many times in her past life. Many of them were looking for him with a purpose. In that circle, if you wanted to advance, you either had to work your butt off or take the wrong path. Someone like Gu Yin, who had no education, no qualifications, no background, and was beautiful, would have been devoured long ago if she hadn't been unwilling to take a step up.
Gu Yin didn't even bother to expose such childish flirting.
Xiangyang wasn't angry about being rejected. After all, good students would be lucky if they didn't look at students like them with disdain; how could they possibly want to communicate with them?
Xiangyang picked up the cola: "What do you want to drink? Milk? I'll get it for you. How about we become pen pals? Everyone likes that these days. If you're ever unhappy about anything, you can tell me. If I can help, I definitely will!"
Gu Yin sent the completed novel to the email address she had previously registered, shut down her computer, stood up and looked at Xiang Yang: "No interest, no need, excuse me."
Even before Xiangyang struck up a conversation, the people inside had stopped what they were doing to watch the spectacle.
Seeing that he was rejected, they all started to tease him: "No way, Xiangyang, that beautiful girl isn't buying it!"
Gu Yin ignored them, went to the front desk to pay, and Xiang Yang followed her out. The people outside also started to jeer. Gu Yin frowned and walked out, but was then stopped by those people.
"Hey beautiful, don't rush off yet! Let's go get some barbecue later! Yang's treating!"
"That's right, our Yang-ge is the school heartthrob of our No. 1 High School! It would be so prestigious to take him out!"
Gu Yin reached out and pushed the person away without saying a word. She pushed her bicycle out and prepared to leave, but the bicycle was pulled back.
Annoyed, Gu Yin parked the car, walked over to the person who had pulled her car, and frowned, saying, "Let go!"
The man didn't want to let go, but seeing Gu Yin's cold eyes, he felt that if he didn't let go, the consequences might not be good, so he loosened his grip.
Seeing this, Gu Yin got on her bike and rode away quickly without even glancing at Xiang Yang who was coming with the milk.
After the person left, the people around chuckled and then cursed, "Where did this little firecracker come from? Is she from our No. 1 Middle School? Let's ambush her when school starts, damn it, let's teach her a lesson!"
"Exactly! They didn't even bother to find out who Brother Xiang from No. 1 High School is! And they dare to give Brother Xiang attitude!"
Xiang Yang smiled but didn't say anything, then threw the milk in his hand towards the trash can not far away.
“Um, I know who she is?” a weak voice rang out.
Everyone turned around and saw a strange boy, thin and weak. When he saw everyone looking at him, he looked away in fear.
Xiangyang walked up to him: "You know her?"
When Xiangyang asked him, the boy immediately puffed out his chest and nodded: "Her name is Gu Yin. She's from No. 2 Middle School. She has excellent grades. She has a nickname, 'key seed,' which is what our school principal said. She's a top candidate for a key high school!"
"So you're a top student, no wonder you're so aloof," Xiangyang smiled. "What grade are you in?"
"From Class 1, Experimental Grade 7!"
The person next to Xiang Yang pulled him aside: "Hey Yang, don't you have a pen pal from No. 1 High School? You can ask her! Don't top students like the school bully? If you make a move, why don't you win her over?"
Xiangyang felt better and went into the internet cafe with his hands in his pockets.
