Under the guidance of Zhang Meili, Gu Hanqiu followed her to a nearby village.
Maybe the wives of soldiers living nearby often come here to buy things, and when they go there, the carpenter just happens to have newly made tables and chairs, so they don’t have to wait.
Gu Hanqiu took a look at it, thought the quality was good, and bought it on the spot.
However, the two of them couldn't carry so many things, so they spent a few cents more and asked the carpenter to deliver them to the gate of the military camp.
When I was leaving, I happened to meet a woman from the village carrying eggs to the purchasing station to exchange them for money.
Thinking that there was nothing at home, Gu Hanqiu took Zhang Meili back to the village and found someone to exchange a chicken and eggs.
Originally, Gu Hanqiu wanted to exchange some vegetables, but Zhang Meili said that she had some at home and there was no need to exchange them in the village.
When Gu Hanqiu and the others returned to the military camp with their things, they happened to meet the people who were delivering the furniture.
The military camp is not a place that ordinary people can enter, not even carpenters can enter here.
Fortunately, the sentry at the door saw that Gu Hanqiu and the others could not move the things, so he called a few soldiers to help her move her things to the family compound.
To thank the soldiers for helping her move her things back, Gu Hanqiu gave each of them a handful of candy when they left.
The house is a mess and nothing has been tidied up yet, so it's not convenient to invite them to dinner.
I can only give them something to thank them.
At this time, eggs and brown sugar are hard currency and can be used as currency.
Not to mention precious things like milk candy, which only people with a lot of money can afford.
Those soldiers were all from rural areas, and they smiled so hard that their teeth fell out while taking the candies that Gu Hanqiu stuffed into their mouths.
After the soldiers left, Zhang Meili also said goodbye to Gu Hanqiu and turned back home.
There are several divine beasts at home waiting for her to come home and cook. If she comes home a little late, they will cry loudly.
The entire family compound was in turmoil because of the loud voices of the three of them.
Gu Hanqiu did not show favoritism. When Zhang Meili left, he also grabbed a handful of candy and stuffed it into her pocket.
"Sister Zhang, thanks to your help today, otherwise I would be at a loss."
"Take these candies back and give them to your children to sweeten their mouths."
"Okay, then I won't be polite to you!"
Zhang Meili is also a straightforward person. Whenever Gu Hanqiu gives her something, she will take it.
Anyway, they will have many opportunities to interact with each other in the future, so there is no need to push it back and forth.
Gu Hanqiu also likes Zhang Meili's natural and unpretentious personality.
Sometimes she finds it troublesome when she sees others pushing things around.
But China is a society based on human relationships, so we have to act when it’s time to act.
She likes to get along with people like Zhang Meili, who are straightforward when necessary and kind when necessary.
After sending the people away, Gu Hanqiu turned around and went home to put his things in order.
She had to clean up the kitchen first, otherwise she would have no place to cook.
Just when Gu Hanqiu was about to finish cleaning up, Zhang Meili's voice came from outside the door.
"Xiao Qiu! Are you home?"
"I'm here! What's up, Sister Zhang?"
Hearing her shout, Gu Hanqiu walked out of the kitchen with his sleeves rolled up.
Zhang Meili: "I thought since you just arrived today, you must be short of firewood at home, so I brought some over for you."
"If it's not enough, I'll bring you more."
As soon as Gu Hanqiu went out, he saw a pile of firewood in the yard, and a rather honest young man standing next to it.
Gu Hanqiu: "Okay, thank you Sister Zhang!"
"Sister Zhang, is this your child?"
Seeing that Gu Hanqiu's eyes were fixed on her son, Zhang Meili also began to introduce him.
"Yes, this is my eldest son, Yang Jiefang, fifteen years old."
"Liberation, call someone, this is your uncle Ji's lover, you can call her Aunt Gu."
After hearing what his mother said, Yang Jiefang shyly called out for help.
"Aunt Gu!"
Yang Jiefang didn't expect that Uncle Ji's new wife was so beautiful and gentle.
Later, after having been in contact with Gu Hanqiu for a long time, he paid a huge price for his superficiality today.
Especially the first time I saw Gu Hanqiu with a pretty and gentle face, scolding someone.
He was greatly frightened and suffered indelible psychological trauma.
From then on, whenever he saw a gentle and beautiful woman, he would wonder if she had a hidden personality like Aunt Gu.
Gu Hanqiu looked at Yang Jiefang's shy look and felt a little amused.
Boys mature early and get shy when they see pretty girls.
However, Yang Jiefang is also her nephew, so it is not easy to tease him.
She simply took out a few chocolate candies from her pocket and handed them to him.
Even toffee is a rare commodity now, let alone chocolate.
Ordinary people have only heard of it and have rarely seen it.
Yang Guohuai also came from the countryside and relied on his own abilities to reach his current position.
Although his salary is high, his wife is unemployed and has given birth to four children, so the family depends on him alone for support.
Even if he earns more than 100 yuan a month, it is still not enough to cover the expenses.
His eldest son is fifteen years old, the second son is thirteen years old, the third son is eleven years old, and his daughter is six years old.
It is said that the little brats can eat their fathers out of money, and besides, these kids are still at the age where they can eat.
The money spent on food every month is a huge expense.
Not to mention clothes and tuition fees,
So the Yang family’s life was not really rich, it could only be considered average.
Yang Jiefang looked at the chocolate that Gu Hanqiu gave him, his eyes filled with uncontrollable desire.
But the Yang family's education was pretty good, and even though he was very greedy, he restrained himself from looking at his mother.
