Zhang Qiaoyue went home alone first.
Gu Changan accompanied Xia Weian. They didn't drive when they came out. The two of them walked and chatted together.
"Weian, where are you going?"
"Let's go to the herbal medicine company." Xia Weian said, "This basket of my backpack is filled with herbs I picked up in the mountains a few days ago. I want to see how much I can sell them for."
"You and your sister-in-law are really capable." Gu Changan praised.
"Brother Gu, is that Comrade Wang..." Xia Weian hesitated for a moment, but still asked. He had to find Wang Fang to handle the subsequent procedures.
If that person's character is really bad, it would actually be dangerous for him. After all, she knew that he bought five houses. Although two of them belonged to Gu Changan's family, on the surface, he, a farmer, bought five houses...
In this era, as long as she reported something, the Revolutionary Committee would definitely come to investigate.
Although policies have obviously loosened in the past two years, these people are still in a state of dying struggle. As long as there is something they can hold on to, they will definitely hold on to it.
The source of Xia Weian's funds is difficult to explain. He sold a ginseng, but this was a private transaction and was not allowed.
Xia Weian frowned slightly. He was still careless about buying the house. He would have to think about how to explain the source of funds when he returned. After all, Wang Fang was an unstable factor.
"Hey, your sister-in-law is too simple-minded. I was afraid that she would think too much, so I didn't say anything. That's why she went to find Wang Fang. I thought she was looking for Ruan Teng."
Gu Changan continued, "This Wang Fang once hinted to me."
"I pretended not to understand and avoided it." Gu Changan's face flushed slightly. He was a leading cadre after all, and it wasn't like he had never encountered people who took the initiative before, but this was the first time that his wife's friend took the initiative.
Gu Changan was depressed for a long time and didn't know how to remind Zhang Qiaoyue. You said Wang Fang said nothing excessive. Really, nothing. It's just that the way she spoke and her posture looked wrong.
Not only Gu Changan felt the same, Ruan Teng also felt the same.
Therefore, Ruan Teng deliberately stayed behind at that time to disrupt Wang Fang's pace of getting close to Gu Changan.
However, they didn't realize that Wang Fang had changed her target. Her current target was Xia Weian. After all, Wang Fang felt that although she could not compare to Zhang Qiaoyue, she could still compare to a country woman.
After Xia Weian listened to Gu Changan, he spoke up, "It's true that Comrade Wang seems to have ulterior motives."
"You noticed it too?" Gu Changan asked.
Xia Weian nodded. "She was trying to get closer, intentionally or unintentionally. Her attitude and friendly tone were a bit too much."
"Look, look, you saw it the first time you met her, but your sister-in-law didn't see anything. I told her about it, and she got angry!" Gu Changan sighed depressedly.
"I went home and told Yunmei that after her back injury healed in a while, when we came to the city to look at houses, I would let Yunmei talk to my sister-in-law so that women could communicate better." Xia Weian said.
"Okay, let me thank my sister-in-law first." Gu Changan responded.
While the two were talking, they arrived at the medicinal materials company.
Gu Changan accompanied Xia Weian to the purchasing office to queue up.
There were few people selling medicinal herbs in the afternoon, and Xia Weian’s turn came soon.
The staff began to weigh.
"There's actually Bupleurum chinense, and it's of pretty good quality. I'll give it to you at the first grade level, 1.3 yuan per catty. You have 7.8 jin, so the total is 10.14 yuan."
"The ground maple bark is also of good quality, 50 cents a pound. You have five pounds, so that's two dollars and a half in total."
"Fengfeng is 30 cents a pound, a total of 4.5 pounds, 1.35 yuan."
"Motherwort is 10 cents per pound. I have 8 pounds, 80 cents."
"These are fourteen dollars and seventy-nine."
"Here's the bill, take it. There's the money over there."
"Thank you, comrade." Xia Weian's eyes sparkled. You know, a worker only earns about 30 yuan a month now, and they earned more than 14 yuan in half a day, and there were still a lot of valuable money that they hadn't taken out.
Xia Weian was in a particularly good mood, and the idea of taking the villagers to collect herbs and sell them for money seemed feasible.
"Comrade, the herbs you brought are of very good quality, all first-class. If you know how to prepare them, the price can be higher." The comrade who received the goods said to Xia Weian.
"Thank you, comrade. Someone in my family knows how to prepare the medicine. I was in a hurry to get out this time, so I didn't make it. Next time I will bring some prepared herbs." Xia Weian said.
He knew how to prepare medicinal materials, having done so in his previous life, but he needed to have a clear path forward in this matter.
He planned to go back and ask Sui Chengxiao to give him some guidance, so that it would be natural for him to be able to prepare herbal medicine.
After the settlement, Xia Weian went to measure the size and change the locks.
Gu Changan went with him and changed the locks of the five gates. They also measured the length and width of the courtyard and the house in detail.
Xia Weian drew a sketch and marked everything one by one.
"Brother Gu, here are the sketches of these two houses for you. Go back and discuss with my sister-in-law how you want to change them. Let's just get the formalities done right away. These procedures will become more and more difficult to handle in the future." Xia Weian said.
"Okay, I'll go home and discuss it."
After finishing their work, the two returned to Gu Changan's home.
It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, and the last bus was at 4:30. Xia Weian had to pack his things and leave.
Gu Changan gave the money for the two houses to Xia Weian.
"Next time you come, I'll write the proxy holding contract for you," Xia Weian said.
Gu Changan didn't expect that Xia Weian even knew about contracts, and he looked up to his brother again.
Zhang Qiaoyue bought a lot of snacks from the supply and marketing cooperative, including large biscuits, oil tea flour cakes, and White Rabbit cookies, a big bag, as well as several large apples and oranges.
Fruit is really hard to buy these days.
Zhang Qiaoyue gave everything she bought to Xia Weian.
