"Brother Chen, why did you suddenly come back? Didn't you just leave not long ago?" Wu Wen was also very puzzled as to why Gu Xichen had returned so quickly.
"I've been discharged from the military. I came here to ask if I could drive a truck with you."
In fact, the military had directly assigned Gu Xichen a job, but to be on the safe side, Gu Xichen still chose to come to Wu Wen.
He knew that as long as he asked, Wu Wen would definitely make the arrangements for him.
Sure enough, as soon as Wu Wen heard that he had been discharged from the army, he immediately promised to ask the factory leaders and do his best to arrange a job for him.
Gu Xichen did not explain why he retired from the military.
Wu Wen did not press the matter further.
As Gu Xichen was about to leave, Wu Wen called him back.
He whispered something in Gu Xichen's ear for a while.
Gu Xichen's face remained expressionless, but he was actually somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected Wu Wen to...
He followed Wu Wen to No. 18, Lane 6, Hanlin Street.
There are two other men here.
One was a tall man with a scar on his face, a rather upright person, who was said to have retired from another unit.
The other one is more ordinary, about 1.7 meters tall, the kind of person who doesn't stand out in a crowd.
As soon as he entered, Wu Wen asked, "Where are Daozi, Zongzi, and Fatty?"
"They went to collect the goods."
The man who answered was a man with a scar on his face.
Gu Xichen listened from the side and roughly got the gist of it.
He did not object to what Wu Wen did; in fact, he had also been to the black market before enlisting in the army.
It's just that nobody knows it.
In fact, during his years in the military, he had been on missions all over the place and had heard some rumors. Now the policies are becoming more and more relaxed, but they haven't received much news yet.
Who knows what will happen in the future?
In addition, Wu Wen also adopted several children of their former battalion commander, which was also a huge expense.
After getting in touch with Wu Wen, Gu Xichen even went with him to Wu Wen's workplace, the steel plant.
I learned that Wu Wen not only hauls goods, but also helps their factory haul food, vegetables and fruits when he has time.
That's why he could collect and resell things without being noticed.
...
The two brothers, arm in arm, walked up the mountain. Once they reached the top, they were like wild horses, jumping and leaping about with great excitement.
Of course, they weren't the only ones on the mountain; there were several other boys who had been assigned to cut pig feed.
Seeing the children rummaging through the haystacks, and then not long after, seeing rabbits run out, the children all put down what they were doing and joined them in catching rabbits.
These days, who doesn't want to eat meat?
Unfortunately, wild rabbits are very fast runners, and no one can catch them.
Just when Jiang Jinhua was feeling very discouraged.
A crisp sound suddenly came from beneath my feet.
Something was crushed by his foot.
Then, he tripped over something and fell face-first onto the grass with a thud, managing to bite a few blades of grass into his mouth.
Ugh, ugh—
He quickly spat out the grass from his mouth.
His disheveled appearance drew laughter from everyone.
But he didn't care at all, as if everyone was laughing at someone else.
He looked at the spot where he had tripped and his eyes lit up instantly.
It's an egg.
There was a nest of wild eggs in a depression in the grass.
Unfortunately, he crushed two of them.
Jiang Jinhua counted them carefully; besides the two he had stepped on, there were ten more.
He didn't pick it up immediately, but looked around before quietly calling Gu Xiliang over.
Gu Xiliang came over upon hearing the sound, and looked in the direction the man was pointing, overjoyed.
He hadn't found any wild eggs on the mountain in a long time.
This is a rare commodity for them.
You should know that their family can only raise one chicken.
But his chickens haven't laid eggs for a long time.
Whenever there were eggs, his parents would save them for him, and they themselves wouldn't eat them.
"Wah-zai, you're really lucky. Even if you can't catch a rabbit, eggs are still good. Hurry up, let's collect them for an extra meal tonight."
Neither of them had anything to hold the eggs in, so Gu Xiliang saw some large-leaved plants in the distance and picked them to use as a container for the eggs.
Just as the two finished packing the eggs, Jiang Jinhua felt something sting his foot, and he instinctively jumped forward.
After stopping and turning around, I saw a large pheasant behind me.
The pheasant was now standing tall and glaring angrily at him.
The next second, it spread its wings, took flight, and pounced on him with its sharp beak open.
"My goodness—"
The pheasant lunged at him menacingly, and Jiang Jinhua was so frightened that he instinctively turned and ran.
On the lush grass, Jiang Jinhua kept running, and the pheasant kept chasing after her.
"Gu Xiliang, why does that 'wild chicken' only chase after me and not you?!"
Jiang Jinhua ran and shouted, getting pecked incessantly by the pheasants.
On his hands, back, buttocks, and legs, the pheasant pecked at everything it could find.
Jiang Jinhua's screams grew louder and louder, she was in a terrible state.
Gu Xiliang was stunned by this sudden turn of events.
He didn't react until he heard Jiang Jinhua call his name.
Hearing Jiang Jinhua's screams, the others also turned to look.
What's going on?
That older brother was actually being chased and pecked by pheasants.
This was their first time meeting.
"Quick, quick, catch the pheasant. Ahua, catch it right now."
Gu Xiliang realized what was happening and wanted to help catch pheasants, but he was reluctant to let go of the eggs in his hand, afraid that someone else would take them. So he had to ask Jiang Jinhua to catch the pheasants.
