"Sister, you're back!"
Gu Si's wife saw Gu Qingcheng's figure from afar and hurried to meet her.
"Chatting with Auntie Niu from East Third Hutong again!"
Gu Qingcheng was not really curious, she just wanted to find a topic to talk about with her sister-in-law.
Of course, if Gu Si's wife shared some gossip with her, Gu Qingcheng would not refuse.
Well, people, no matter whether they are men or women, no matter whether they are in ancient times or modern times, all love to join in the fun.
Even someone as noble as Her Majesty the Queen of Heaven is not immune.
In fact, for Gu Qingcheng, the 1960s was definitely a magical era.
Whether they are workers or farmers, their material lives may be poor, but their spiritual world is really rich.
In ancient times, workers and farmers were definitely not the superior classes.
But here, they are the masters.
They have confidence and dignity that they have never had before.
The whole world is a picture of prosperity and hard work.
Against such a grand backdrop, the common people in the city have a different kind of human touch.
The neighbors in the slum are simple, kind, and yet have the shrewdness of ordinary people.
Not to mention, this is a world derived from an online novel and its related fan fiction.
Several fan fictions deliberately exaggerate extreme evil and ignore the complexity of human nature - how can good and evil be so absolute?
Just like the residents in the slum, if you look closely, they all have problems of one kind or another.
But are they bad people?
no!
Not to mention the fair and prestigious uncle Fang Yaozhong, even the second uncle Zhu Jinshui, who is always complained by the neighbors, actually has a "good" side.
Back then, when Gu Qingcheng took Qiao Qiao away from the slum, all the neighbors donated money.
The amount donated by Zhu Jinshui is second only to that of the eldest uncle.
Of course, Zhu Jinshui's purpose in doing this was not simple.
First of all, it's a competition with an old man.
Secondly, it is for the sake of his reputation as the "Second Uncle".
But, as I said, judge by the actions, not the heart.
Regardless of the reason, the result is that Gu Qingcheng received donation from Zhu Jinshui, and to some extent, received help from him!
Zhu Jinshui is a "good man".
But for time-traveling male protagonists like Lu Xinhua and Qiao Weiguo, Zhu Jinshui is the worst of the slums. He is stingy and calculating, and even nitpicks about his own son.
Gu Qingcheng was like a newly arrived but somewhat Buddhist badger, eating the melon happily but not very actively!
The former Mrs. Gu Er and the current Mrs. Gu Si are both her "melon delivery messengers".
"Xiao Ni, I didn't know that Lu Xinhua is really amazing!"
"He can actually make a bicycle. Even though he pieced it together and assembled it himself, it's still a bicycle that can be ridden and can carry things!"
Gu Si's wife was full of envy and excitedly shared the gossip she had just heard with Gu Qingcheng.
"Lü Xinhua?"
This is the male protagonist of Gu Qingcheng's main quest.
However, since Meng Yao awakened, Gu Qingcheng rarely paid attention to this person.
As for Lu Xinhua, he seemed to have been hit by the "broken heart" and was silent for a while.
I thought this person would just disappear into the crowd, but unexpectedly, he recovered and continued to make trouble.
That’s right, Gu Qingcheng used the word “trouble”.
In Gu Qingcheng's opinion, "assembling" bicycles and developing a "business" out of it is just playing with fire.
"Yes! He's the neighbor in the compound where you lived before."
During the time that Gu Si's wife went to the city, she did not have much contact with the neighbors around her.
It was gossip from too long ago, and she hadn't had the chance to find out.
Therefore, Gu Si's wife did not know that the Lu Xinhua she mentioned was the "rumored" object of her elder sister-in-law.
"I heard he's a very clever guy. His bicycle broke down, and when he went to get it repaired, he discovered he didn't need a ticket for the parts."
When Gu Si's wife said this, there was obvious admiration in her eyes.
She seemed to be sighing: Wow, look at this young man's brain, how is it designed, how flexible it is.
These days, bicycles require tickets, so it is particularly difficult to buy one.
However, bicycle parts do not require tickets. As long as you spend some money and piece them together, you can actually build a complete bicycle.
"A new bicycle from the department store requires a ticket and costs over a hundred yuan."
"The bicycle assembled by Lu Xinhua only costs 70 or 80 yuan, no ticket required."
"I heard that several people in their compound bought it."
"Neighbors from other shanty towns and even other alleys were also tempted and paid deposits directly."
"Tsk tsk, Aunt Niu said the queue is almost as long as Labor Day."
"...Xiao Ni, how much money do you think he makes?"
Gu Qingcheng: ...
You will definitely make a lot of money.
The spare parts don't cost much, and some can be exchanged for old or broken ones at scrap yards.
Lu Xinhua’s biological father, Lu Guofu, is an employee of a machinery factory.
After being injured, I returned home and made money by welding and polishing small things.
Lu Xinhua only needs to replace the parts, and Lu Guofu can help assemble them, even saving the labor costs.
Calculated in this way, the cost of a car is estimated to be only fifty or sixty yuan.
Lu Xinhua sells the car for seventy or eighty, and can make twenty or thirty bucks from one car!
There are more than ten households in the slum, and even if half of them bought Lu Xinhua's bicycle, there would still be five or six.
This way, the profit is more than one hundred yuan.
Not to mention, Lu Xinhua's "business" has spread to the surrounding courtyards and even the surrounding alleys!
