Chapter 153 Black Thing
Gu Yu had no other work to do at the moment, so he left work early.
He first went to the post office to mail Xiuzhu's picture book to Beijing, and then went to the vegetable station and grain station to buy a lot of food to take home.
In the winter in the north, the variety of vegetables is very limited, only cabbage, radish and potato.
I was lucky enough to buy a piece of tofu. It might be because it was not yet time for the workers to get off work. Tofu is a scarce vegetable, so I was lucky to be able to buy it.
He planned to make a cabbage and tofu pot for Xiuzhu when he got back. She had an upset stomach, so she needed to eat something hot and eat it with rice. She would feel good only after she was full.
Thinking of the new way of playing at noon, Gu Yu couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips slightly.
But before he reached the door of his house, he smelled a burnt smell, as if it came from his own home. His face changed and he hurried inside.
"Xiuzhu???" He looked at the black thing in front of the kitchen and almost didn't dare to recognize it.
But those eyes were indeed his wife's, and the clothes... well, it was hard to tell through the clothes.
How come his big, fair and tender young wife turned into a little black charcoal in front of him in just half a day when he was away?
Xiuzhu felt a little guilty, her eyes were evasive, and she didn't dare to look directly at the person at the door. She seemed to have blown up the kitchen!
At this time, she didn't know that she had been blown up by herself.
…
Originally, because of what Gu Yu said at noon, Xiuzhu was very moved and decided to perform well.
She fantasized that when her husband came home from work, he would be so moved that he would cry when he saw his beautiful and virtuous wife preparing a table full of hot meals for him.
But when it comes to actual operation, I find that ideals and reality are different.
She can cook, but she can't light a fire, she only burns wood...
I squatted in the kitchen and it took me a while to light the wood, but if I wasn't careful, it would go out.
Then, she was so busy struggling with the wood in the stove that she forgot to put the rice in the pot...
Gu Yu looked at the little black thing in front of him... Pah, his little wife in front of him was disfigured by the smoke in the room. He was both angry and amused.
I was already feeling unwell today, so why did I bother with all that? But knowing her little thoughts and knowing that she was doing this for me, I couldn't help feeling happy.
Forget it, it’s not a big deal, it’s just a useless pot. It’s a blessing that she is okay.
…
After Gu Yu cleaned up the kitchen, he went to borrow a bicycle from next door, took the vegetables and food he had bought, and his wife who had cleaned up, and set out to go to Feng's house for a meal.
Not only do they have to trouble Grandma Feng tonight, but they also have to trouble the Feng family to help deliver breakfast to Xiuzhu tomorrow morning.
After all, their pot is no longer usable...

The next morning, Cui'er brought breakfast to Xiuzhu. Gu Yu had told her last night to come after 8 o'clock. Now was the perfect time as Xiuzhu had just finished washing up.
It was warm at home, so she wore a black knitted long dress with a light purple thick-knit cardigan over it.
The clothes were all brought back from Hong Kong by her. Most of them were black, white and grey, with only a few in colour. The styles were simple and elegant, without any sense of luxury, so they would not be reported.
When she found out that Gu Yu had so much money abroad, she was so excited. Wouldn't it all be hers?
This is equivalent to an ordinary person winning the lottery, suddenly becoming rich, and then starting to have a mentality of revengeful consumption.
Clothes, shoes, food, daily necessities, buy buy buy buy...
As for how much exactly they bought, she hasn't sorted it out yet. Anyway, Gu Yu hired someone to carry 6 large boxes onto the ship.
One of the big boxes contained her, and the remaining five boxes contained various purchased items.
Because there were too many things and one truck could not carry them back to Yutian County, Gu Yu separated out a part of them and mailed them to Harbin, asking Feng Dazhuang to help retrieve them.
When Gu Yu was still in Yucheng, he began planning to bring Xiuzhu to Harbin for development in the future. When they were traveling in Guangcheng, they put the plan on the agenda. At that time, everything had been arranged almost completely, and they just had to wait until they returned to Yutian County to explain the matter to his father-in-law and others.
Unexpectedly, a series of unexpected events occurred later, which delayed the trip to Harbin by nearly two months.

Cui'er sat on a chair next to the dining table and waited for Xiuzhu to finish her meal before she went to wash the dishes.
Yesterday, her husband Da Zhuang told her that Comrade Gu asked her to come to Gu's house every day to help clean the house, wash clothes for Gu's sister-in-law, and wait for Comrade Gu to buy a big pot, and then help prepare lunch at noon every day.
Then Comrade Gu would give himself a red envelope of 30 yuan every month as a thank you.
When grandma heard this, she blamed her husband for taking the money, after all, Comrade Gu was their family's benefactor.
But the husband said that if they didn't charge money, Comrade Gu would ask someone else for help, and no one else could be more dedicated than their family, so grandma agreed.
After asking for her opinion, I asked her to come over to help and said that the money could be considered her private money!
She was so excited that she couldn't sleep last night. It's only 30 yuan a month. The daughter-in-law next door is a regular worker in a textile factory. She looks down on people every day, but her salary is only 30 yuan, and she has to spend it for the whole family.
She has 30 yuan of pocket money every month, and the work is easy, just a few hours a day. How can she not be excited!
The most important thing is that Gu's sister-in-law is so beautiful. After being dressed up like this today, she is even more beautiful than before. She can't bear to take her eyes off her.
Xiuzhu noticed that the other person was staring at her, and knowing that it was a kind look, she didn't care.
I was still thinking in my heart that there was nothing I could do, I was just this charming and popular with both men and women. Oh, this beautiful trouble is something that you mortals don't understand.

The staff of the Public Security Bureau worked overtime and spent a whole week to compile the data for the past six months.
Director Jin looked at the information in his hand with a serious expression.
The result was the same as what Gu Yu said, the crime rate in Ding'an County was abnormally high, and this matter really needed to be investigated in secret.
