"Brother Nanxun, I'm back." Lin Qing's voice rang out before she even entered the door.
Hearing the sound, Gu Nanxun, who had been worried all day, finally relaxed. He composed himself and looked up at the door.
Wang Qing walked in happily, carrying a basket on her back. Through the open door, Gu Nanxun could see the bicycle parked at the door.
"How was it, Qingqing? Was the county town fun?"
Seeing Lin Qing's rosy cheeks, Gu Nanxun resisted the urge to pinch them and said...
"It's alright! It's just that it was my first time visiting a county town, and it's quite big. I lost track of time while I was wandering around."
"Brother Nanxun, you haven't eaten yet! I brought some food from the county town, I'll heat it up and we can eat together."
As she spoke, Lin Qing walked towards the door. The stove by the door was already usable. Yesterday, Brother Nanxun had Zhao Youcai pile up a lot of firewood by the door.
Soon, two bowls of rice, three dishes, and a soup were ready. The three dishes were braised pork, stir-fried potatoes, eggplant, and green peppers, and shredded potatoes, all taken out by Lin Qing from her spatial storage. It was a pity that many other foods were not suitable to be taken out.
After finishing their meal, Lin Qing handed Gu Nanxun the clothes and shoes she had bought in the county town.
"Didn't I ask Aunt Liu to make it for me?"
Gu Nanxun asked, puzzled.
"It's been made, but it's not finished yet. I saw that they sell them in the county town. You don't have any other clothes, so having a couple more won't hurt."
Lin Qing said matter-of-factly, as if four new outfits were a disservice to Gu Nanxun. But Lin Qing didn't know how extravagant it was to have four new outfits in that era.
"Okay, thank you, honey."
Gu Nanxun looked at Lin Qing gently and said, then took out a bankbook and a stack of ten-yuan notes and handed them to Lin Qing.
"Honey, this is all I have left, it's all for you."
Lin Qing took the passbook and saw that it said 20,000 yuan. Lin Qing counted 90 bills, each worth 900 yuan.
"Where did you get so much money?"
Lin Qing asked curiously, "20,000 yuan is no small sum."
"What I've saved over the years... I started with 35 yuan a month, sending 30 yuan home each month. Later, as I got promoted, my salary increased from 35 yuan to 200 yuan. That also includes my bonuses and pension. I didn't have much to spend, so this is all I've saved. I also invested 10,000 yuan in a friend's business,"
"Didn't you give all your pension to the Gu family?" Lin Qing heard on her second day that the Gu family had taken all of Gu Nanxun's pension. They did this because they knew Gu Nanxun was broke. They probably thought Gu Nanxun couldn't give them any more money and were afraid he would be a burden to them, so they couldn't wait to kick him out.
If they knew that Gu Nanxun had so much money, they would regret it to death.
"Of course not, my compensation was 7,000 yuan! I only gave them 1,000 yuan. The rest is in my savings account."
Gu Nanxun said with a smile. He had already anticipated the Gu family's reaction, but he was still unwilling to give up, so he used the 1000 yuan to test the waters. Unexpectedly, he had guessed correctly. From childhood, he had always been the one who ate the least and did the most work at home. Whenever his brothers bullied him, he couldn't fight back; if he did, he would be beaten. When he reached the age to join the army, his parents immediately sent him to serve without even asking him a question. He shouldn't have had any hope in the first place; this time, he had completely given up.
"You're quite prescient, aren't you? Knowing that the Gu family couldn't be trusted, you still knew to hide the money. Not bad! No wonder you're my girlfriend, you're so smart."
"I can't help but look at the money again and again," Lin Qing said proudly. Although she was quite wealthy now, who would think it was a small amount? Besides, it was given to her by Brother Nanxun. Brother Nanxun had given her all his money. This showed that Brother Nanxun trusted her and was of one mind with her. Lin Qing was overjoyed.
"Nanxun-ge, how can you be so kind?"
Lin Qing couldn't help but hug Gu Nanxun's arm and act coquettishly. She realized that she couldn't help but act coquettishly whenever she was with Gu Nanxun. In her previous life, she was a modern, independent woman who never knew how to act coquettishly!
I don't know why, but every time I see Gu Nanxun, I can't control my expression, and I become very strange and love to act cute.
"What's so good about it..."
Gu Nanxun chuckled and patted Lin Qing's hair as he asked.
"Of course, it's handing over my secret stash of money!"
"You're so happy! Then I'll give you all the money I earn from now on."
Seeing Lin Qing so happy, Gu Nanxun was glad he had hidden the money well. He secretly made up his mind that he must earn more money for Qingqing in the future.
"By the way, Brother Nanxun, I bought a bicycle today."
Lin Qing suddenly remembered that she had bought a bicycle, and said happily.
"I saw it. I was thinking of buying a three-turn radio for my baby, but I didn't expect my baby to buy one himself so soon."
Gu Nanxun feigned disappointment. He had indeed asked Wang Weidong to help him find tickets for the "Three Turns and One Sound" (a type of bicycle ticket), but before he could find them, his darling had already brought the bicycle back. He could only say his darling was incredibly capable, managing to even get bicycle tickets.
But it's okay if we can't buy a bicycle, there are other things too, right? His treasure is amazing, he'll only feel proud.
Hearing Gu Nanxun's words, Lin Qing hugged Gu Nanxun's arm and shook it, saying coquettishly, "Brother Nanxun, you've already given me all the money, how can a bicycle compare?"
"You're right, I'll be relying on my baby to support me from now on."
Gu Nanxun ruffled Lin Qing's hair affectionately and said.
"Okay! I'll take care of Nanxun from now on."
"Then I'll leave it to you..."
"Okay, you're welcome. As long as you behave well from now on, you can have anything you want."
Lin Qing waved her small hand and said boldly. She hadn't been this carefree in a long time. In her previous life, because of the hardships of life, she not only had to work hard every day to earn tuition fees but also study, leaving her with no time to socialize. This was why she was surrounded only by that scumbag and bitch. Later, after she started working, she had to save money to buy a house, and her life became increasingly busy.
She had no home growing up, so a house was her obsession; she loved houses. Therefore, when the brigade leader said it was okay to build houses, she didn't hesitate to build one herself. Of course, the secret of her spatial dimension was also a part of the reason. But more than anything, it was her deep-seated desire for a home. Now that Gu Nanxun was there, Lin Qing even felt that Gu Nanxun's dilapidated, drafty little house had a sense of home.
Lin Qingmei thought to herself, "Once my house is built, I'll marry Brother Nanxun."
"Alright, it's getting late, I'll head back now."
Lin Qing lingered with Gu Nanxun for a while longer, until it was completely dark before returning home.
