Chapter 73 My parents-in-law will come to the wedding.
After the police left, Lin Shanshan was still sulking and ignoring Gu Yiye.
This really worried Gu Yiye. He circled around Lin Shanshan, not knowing how to appease his delicate little wife.
Suddenly, he remembered something.
He said, as if to take credit, "Shanshan, don't be angry. I have some good news for you."
Lin Shanshan finally spoke, asking, "What?"
Although he spoke, his voice was somewhat cold.
Gu Yiye said, "I asked my comrades in Haishi to visit your parents and tell them our wedding date. They will come to our wedding. I originally wanted to surprise you, but now that I see you are angry, I told you in advance. My little wife, please forgive your man, okay?!"
Upon hearing this news, Lin Shanshan cried even harder, tears streaming down her face.
Gu Yiye was stunned, and quickly hugged his wife to comfort her: "Shanshan, why are you crying? This is such a happy occasion!"
Lin Shanshan cried in Gu Yiye's arms, her face streaked with tears, and said, "Why are you so good to me? You think of everything for me. I'm so happy. I... I miss my parents so much!"
Seeing that his wife wasn't crying because she was angry, Gu Yiye felt relieved and said with a little pride, "You're my woman, and I'm your man. If I don't treat you well, who will?"
Lin Shanshan stopped crying and said, "When my parents come, you can't talk about me in front of them."
Gu Yiye gently pinched Lin Shanshan's red nose and said, "Don't worry, your man isn't that stupid."
Lin Shanshan snorted and said, "It's getting dark. Let's return the cart and go home, or we'll miss the bus."
Gu Yiye nodded, pulled the cart to the black market to return it to Uncle Wang, and without delay, took the bus back to Yongzheng Commune, and then rode his bicycle home with his young wife.
On the way, Lin Shanshan said, "Brother Gu, go and collect some empty wine bottles and cigarette boxes. I'll pour the wine from my space into them and put the cigarettes in, so I won't have to buy cigarettes or wine anymore. We still have to buy candy from the supply and marketing cooperative; it's not convenient to repackage each candy one by one."
Gu Yiye said, "Okay, I'll find it."
Lin Shanshan added, "Although Yang Wenqing has a lot of things in his space, I won't sell them. The things inside are too attractive and hard to explain to people. We'll just use them ourselves. What we don't use up, we'll repackage and use to help refugees. This year there's been a severe drought, and the wheat we've grown will probably only be enough to feed the villagers of Anfeng Brigade. There will definitely be hungry refugees in other places. We'll help as many as we can."
Gu Yiye nodded: "My wife's decision is right. We still have some savings, plus what we made selling wild boar today. In a few years, when the market is fully open, we'll have enough money to start a business. Besides, we can't just give the wheat away to the villagers for free and make them buy it."
Lin Shanshan agreed, saying, "Yes, if we give it away for free, they'll just wait for us to grow things and then they won't contribute any labor or money; they'll just wait for us to give it to them for free."
Gu Yiye rode his bicycle, his long legs easily pedaling. Upon hearing Lin Shanshan's words, he immediately replied, "That makes perfect sense!"
Lin Shanshan is not a saint, but her father taught her from a young age that when you are successful, you should help others. She has never forgotten this in two lifetimes!
Moreover, the Chinese people have the deep-rooted belief that "when one place is in trouble, help comes from all sides." When a severe drought strikes and she sees people starving and eating tree bark, she certainly won't stand idly by.
Let's plant more grain during this time to prepare for any eventuality.
These days, the vegetable garden has harvested chives, corn, and green beans again, and the land in Shennong Space has increased. Now, all the empty land inside the space is planted with wheat, and together with the land outside, it's almost 40 acres.
We can only do our best and give it our all!
Hopefully, when the drought strikes, the combined food supplies from both spaces will be enough!
