Before leaving, Qiu Qigui said, "Make sure to hide your things. After we rest for two days, we will start to go to the black market. Remember to dress well and don't show your face, understand?"
Gu Changqing's ears were calloused. He waved his hand and told him to leave quickly. "Do you want to tell grandma?"
Qiu Qiming thought for a moment and said, "You can tell your grandma, but don't tell your uncle or the others."
Upon hearing this, Gu Changqing sneered twice and nodded in agreement. His grandmother was sensible and it was okay to tell her, but his uncle... Well, his uncle was a good person, but his aunt was a person who would not do anything without a profit. Just because Qiu Qiming had not married, she wanted to squeeze Qiu Qiming dry.
The family of three returned home and quickly hid their things. Fortunately, they no longer heated the kang, so they stuffed some of the things into the kang hole and the rest into the cellar.
Gu Changqing wanted to act quickly. After all, there were rats in the kang hole, and even the cellar had to be protected from moisture and rats. If such a valuable item was bitten, then all their efforts would be in vain.
After hiding the things, Qiu Lanying went to find food for Gu Changqing. Gu Changqing said, "No, do you have hot water? I'll just drink some hot water later."
Qiu Lanying brought him a thermos and said, "I just heated it last night."
Gu Changqing returned to the house, closed the doors and windows, and quickly ran to the supermarket to buy a bucket of instant noodles. If he had to say what he wanted to eat most in the past two months, it would probably be this instant noodles. He even wondered what kind of person could come up with this thing, it was so delicious.
Last time, Gu Changqing had chicken stewed with mushrooms. Even though there was no chicken or mushrooms in it, it tasted delicious. This time, he took a bucket of pickled cabbage and soaked the noodles in it. He stared at the instant noodles and his mouth was watering. It was so delicious.
About three minutes later, Gu Changqing couldn't wait to start eating. The sour taste filled his mouth after one bite. It was so delicious that he almost swallowed his tongue.
Gu Changqing ate one bucket and felt it was not enough, so he ate another one. After finishing, he still felt hungry. He looked at the few dollars he had left and was reluctant to spend it. This time when he went to Northeast China, his mother lent him several hundred yuan, and he borrowed some from his fourth sister. When he didn't have enough kelp when exchanging things, he bought it with money. Now, only these few dollars were left in his hand, and he was a little reluctant to spend it.
Ahhhh, he needs to sell things quickly to make money, and he also wants to get married quickly.
Gu Changqing gritted his teeth and spent another eight cents to buy a bun. After eating it, he didn't stop and went to sleep quickly.
When I woke up the next day, it was already noon.
Gu Zhiguo went to work in the fields. Qiu Lanying didn't go today and stewed meat for him early in the morning. Seeing that he woke up, she hurriedly said, "Go wash your face and brush your teeth. I stewed meat for you."
Gu Changqing washed his face and went into the kitchen. Seeing his mother busy at work, he asked, "Mom, isn't Xiaoli back yet?"
Qiu Lanying glanced at him and said, "It's not the weekend, what am I doing back home?"
"Oh," Gu Changqing felt a little disappointed. He had no chance to see Xiaoli when she was not at home.
"Do you have something to talk to her about?" Qiu Lanying asked as she served the dishes.
Gu Changqing quickly shook his head, "It's okay."
Qiu Lanying handed him the rice bowl and said, "You want to see Zhenzhen, right?"
Gu Changqing touched his nose and said, "Isn't she the daughter-in-law you've chosen?" Then he added, "I didn't say anything."
Qiu Lanying sighed, "She hasn't been around our family for a long time. Before, I asked Xiaoli to invite her to dinner at home, and then I wanted to ask her if she was willing to marry you. As a result, she didn't wait for me to finish my words and probably misunderstood. She thought I didn't want you to be together, so she said some inexplicable words and ran away. Since then, she hasn't come to our house. When Xiaoli came back, I went to look for her, but she kept silent about it."
"So that's how it is." Gu Changqing was stunned. "Mom, I'll go to the fields to earn work points for you."
Because Gu Changqing is probably affiliated with a transportation company, he is now also a worker and even his household registration is not here, so he does not have to work in the fields.
"Come back." Qiu Lanying grabbed him and said, "You don't want to eat?"
Gu Changqing ran to the door and said, "I don't want to eat anymore."
Now the weeds in the field have been cleared and the wheat seedlings have sprouted out. Sweet potatoes are now being planted in the field. Sweet potatoes can not only fill the stomach but also have high yields, so generally a lot of them are planted every year.
Bai Ruozhen's latest task is to select good seedlings suitable for planting according to the standards given by the team. This kind of work is easy for these female educated youth. The rest of the people go to the fields to dig ridges and apply fertilizers.
Gu Changqing walked around and asked around and finally arrived at Bai Ruozhen's workplace. A group of young girls and wives were sitting together picking and choosing the sweet potato seedlings in front of them.
"Gu Changqing, what are you doing here?"
Someone familiar with Gu Changqing shouted.
Gu Changqing glanced at Bai Ruozhen and said nonchalantly, "Come to work and earn work points."
The young wife who was speaking laughed out loud, "You earn work points picking sweet potato vines."
"I'm here for my mother." Gu Changqing said as he walked over, squatted in front of a pile of sweet potato vines and started picking.
The young girls and wives in the village are all very familiar with Gu Changqing, especially the older girls, whose first choice for marriage is the Gu family, because the Gu family has a good life. The members are either cadres or workers, with a lot of income at home, and the old couple earn work points and food. Marrying into the Gu family is like falling into a blessed nest, not to mention that Gu Changqing himself is good-looking. Although Gu Changqing is a well-known troublemaker in the village and has been a worry since he was a child, this does not affect the girls' interest in him.
Gu Changqing squatted in front of Bai Ruozhen intentionally or unintentionally and picked up everything Bai Ruozhen wanted to pick. He moved quickly and had picked up almost all the things Bai Ruozhen was supposed to pick.
A young wife laughed and said, "Gu Changqing, there are so many people here, why are you giving the work to the newly arrived educated youth?"
