Chapter 22 Sequelae Gu Ruyi...
Gu Ruyi had no idea that her random excuse had caused Wang Erhu to almost break his legs.
After a busy day, Gu Ruyi was hungry.
It was late at night and she didn't feel like moving, so she cooked herself a bowl of shredded pork noodles and had a quick meal.
Neighbors: Shredded pork noodles are just fine, but what are those dried sweet potatoes and potato seeds they eat? Pig food?
After eating and drinking, Gu Ruyi began to check the things Qi Lian had sent.
When you open the first frame, what comes into view are several large tentacles with bared fangs and claws.
It was a dried squid. Gu Ruyi gestured and saw that it was half a meter long. It must have been a big one when it was alive.
In addition to dried squid, Gu Ruyi also took out palm-sized dried shrimps, sea cucumbers, fist-sized abalone, and arm-sized salted fish from the box.
They are all good things!
Next came the second box, which contained only two hams, but weighed at least twenty pounds in total.
The third box contains donkey-hide gelatin, red dates, longan, brown sugar, white sugar...all of which are things that women use to nourish their bodies.
The last big bag turned out to be a bag of cloth, in red, pink, floral and green colors, all of which are the most popular nowadays.
Although it looks a bit rustic in Gu Ruyi's eyes.
But she had to admit that what the Qi family prepared was really thoughtful.
Qi Lian: Deeply concealed and fame.
Looking at the pile of things in the house, Gu Ruyi felt dreamy.
Oh my god, she was just saving someone randomly.
As a result, not only was he saved, but he also received a lot of money and gifts.
This is the power of lucky charms!
That’s so awesome!
As for why Gu Ruyi doesn’t think that good people will be rewarded.
Oh! She also believes that disasters can last for thousands of years.
At the same time, Gu Ruyi also understood why there was a cooling-off period at the Revolutionary Committee sign-in location.
It would be too much if I could sign in every day with such a useful talisman and have good luck every day.
When water is full, it overflows; when the moon is full, it wanes.
There is also a saying that goes "too much is as bad as too little."
No matter how good a thing is, if it crosses that line, it will turn into a bad thing sooner or later.
But it's good to use occasionally.
Gu Ruyi happily put away the pile of things.
The dry goods and supplements were placed on the table, and all the fabrics were placed in the suitcase.
As for the money, Gu Ruyi kept one hundred for reserve, and wrapped the rest in oil paper and put them in the wine cellar at midnight.
There's no way to be so cautious. There are so many thieves these days and there's no surveillance.
If this was stolen, where would she find the thief?
Every time this happened, Gu Ruyi felt very sorry that she couldn't store anything in her system space.
Little did she know that her wish would soon come true.
————
In a blink of an eye, it's a new day.
Having made a fortune yesterday, Gu Ruyi was in a very good mood today and planned to have a meal at a state-owned restaurant first.
Get dressed, brush your teeth, and wash your face.
However……
As soon as she put on her clothes, Gu Ruyi found that a button had fallen off.
After changing her clothes, she went to brush her teeth, but her toothbrush broke.
Not to mention when she was washing her face, a strong wind blew and blew her towel away.
“Huff…”
The north wind is cold, but not as cold as Gu Ruyi's heart.
At this time, Gu Ruyi already felt something was wrong.
But as she was busy at work, Gu Ruyi had no time to care about so much. She just picked up a piece of clean clothes, wiped her face, and rode her bike out.
A few minutes later…
Gu Ruyi was dumbfounded when she saw the bicycle with its chain broken.
Outrageous, too outrageous!
Her new bicycle, which she had only ridden once, had a chain that fell off. Who would believe it if she told others about it?
Thinking about what happened to him today, Gu Ruyi couldn't help but mutter, "This is just bad luck opening the door to bad luck. It's really bad luck."
etc!
Bad luck!
Gu Ruyi's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Yesterday she used her lucky charm and had great luck, but today she encountered all kinds of bad luck. It was obvious that something was wrong.
Could it be that this is the aftereffect of the lucky charm?
Although there was no evidence, Gu Ruyi had a feeling that she was right.
After all, there is a saying that goes "Everything goes to extremes and then turns into its opposite!"
Of course, this is just a guess. If you want to verify its authenticity, you can do the experiment again.
Just as Gu Ruyi was thinking this, a light drizzle started to fall from the sky.
And it looks like it will develop into heavy rain.
Gu Ruyi: (ー_ー)!!
Bad luck keeps happening one after another. God is leaving her no chance to survive!
What should she do now?
"Comrade Xiao Gu, why are you standing in the rain?"
Just when Gu Ruyi was crying out to heaven and earth for help but to no avail, a large black umbrella suddenly appeared above her head.
As for the owner of the umbrella, who else could it be except Qi Lian?
Gu Ruyi smiled awkwardly, "Comrade Qi, what a coincidence!"
Qi Lian, who deliberately took the same route as Gu Ruyi to work, said, "It's quite a coincidence."
This was a fate he had to force himself to bring about.
At the same time, the sharp-eyed Qi Lin saw Gu Ruyi's bicycle.
He frowned and said, "So your car is broken. I'll help you fix it."
Seeing that Qi Lin was very confident, Gu Ruyi, who was busy at work, didn't bother to be polite with him, "Thank you for your help."
"No big deal."
Qi Lan rolled up his sleeves and got to work.
But in his heart he was cursing the person in charge of the steel mill.
It would be fine if they didn’t give me a Phoenix brand car, but they actually gave me a broken bicycle. How stingy and miserly.
The person in charge of the steel rolling mill: It’s unfair.
Qi Lian was undoubtedly very good at doing things, and he had it done in less than two minutes.
Gu Ruyi heaved a sigh of relief and said sincerely, "Comrade Qi, you are amazing. I am so lucky to have you today. It is so great to meet you."
Qi Lan was praised so much that she was bubbling with beauty, and the corners of her mouth were harder to suppress than AK.
"I'm not that great, I just like to fix these things. I can also fix light bulbs, flashlights, radios, etc. Comrade Gu, if you need anything in the future, just come to me."
Aren't you a capable person? Why do I just do the work of a repairman?
Gu Ruyi felt that Qi Lian’s character was a bit unrecognizable.
"Haha!" Gu Ruyi laughed awkwardly twice, pointed to the supply and marketing cooperative not far away and asked: "Comrade Qi, can you be a good person and take me to the supply and marketing cooperative? I want to buy an umbrella."
Buying an umbrella, what does that have to do with him?
Qi Lian's eyes rolled, and he tightened his grip on the umbrella handle, "Comrade Xiao Gu, umbrellas from the supply and marketing cooperative are very expensive, more than ten yuan each, and you need an industrial ticket, which is not cost-effective. I know a friend who works in an umbrella factory, and he can get defective products, the kind with a few scratches, not only are they half the price, but they don't require a ticket, so you won't lose out if you buy those."
Wow! He is quite frugal.
No wonder he was able to accumulate such a huge fortune.
It's a pity that they all went to others for cheap.
Feeling sorry for Qi Lian, Gu Ruyi said anxiously, "No, I can't wait any longer. If I delay any longer, I'll be late for work."
I am here!
Qi Lian suppressed the joy in his heart and said, "I'll take you there! I just happened to be admitted to the steel mill, so it's on my way."
Gu Ruyi:? ? ?
What the hell?
Qi Lin is going to be a worker?
"You...you...how come you ended up working in a steel mill?" Gu Ruyi was so surprised that she almost stuttered.
In the original plot, Qi Lin had always been working in the black market, but now he has to work as a worker. This plot deviation is a bit too far.
It has nothing to do with her...
Gu Ruyi thought without confidence.
Of course it’s because one who is close to the water gets the moon first!
However, Qi Lin was afraid that telling the truth would scare Gu Ruyi, so he could only lie, "My family arranged it."
Okay...right!
Anyway...it probably has nothing to do with her.
She'd better stop worrying about it.
"Good job at work. Your family loves you very much."
After saying this casually, Gu Ruyi added: "Thank you for considering me, but it's not appropriate for the two of us to share one umbrella. I'd better buy an umbrella for emergency use. When this umbrella breaks, I'll come to you to buy the defective one."
I'm not a monster, is there any need to avoid me like this?
Qi Lin felt so aggrieved that his lowered eyes were filled with gloom.
But he honestly sent Gu Ruyi to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Gu Ruyi got what she wanted, but she forgot how unlucky she was today.
As soon as she entered the supply and marketing cooperative, Gu Ruyi watched helplessly as the last umbrella was bought by someone else.
Grass (a kind of plant)
Gu Ruyi was so angry that he almost swore.
Qi Lin's face turned from gloomy to bright, and he thought that God was really helping him.
"Comrade Xiao Gu, it's seven fifty."
Gu Ruyi had to go to work at 8 o'clock, and she was ten minutes late. She didn't care about the rumors and said, "Comrade Qi, please give me a ride."
"Okay! Comrade Xiao Gu, don't worry, I will definitely get you to the steel mill as quickly as possible."
Because she only had one umbrella, Gu Ruyi had to leave her bicycle at the supply and marketing cooperative and ride Qi Lian's bicycle to work.
Gu Ruyi was terrified along the way, fearing that another accident would happen and implicate Qi Lian.
Fortunately, Gu Ruyi's worries were unnecessary. God did not cause any trouble for her on the rest of the journey, allowing her to arrive safely.
————
"Good morning, Comrade Gu."
"Good morning to you too."
"Hello, Comrade Gu."
"Hello."
Thanks to yesterday's commendation meeting, Gu Ruyi is now considered a celebrity in the factory, and 99% of the people in the factory know her.
Therefore, as soon as she entered the factory, everyone who saw her would greet her, even the factory's guard dog would bark twice in a friendly manner when it saw her.
He is ridiculously popular.
But Gu Ruyi doesn't like this kind of good popularity at all.
Only God knows how embarrassed she felt when faced with a bunch of strangers greeting her enthusiastically.
His face was frozen from smiling.
Qi Lin was the opposite of her. When Gu Ruyi couldn't see him, his face was even stinkier than a toilet that had been rotting for ten years.
Especially when seeing some bitches trying to seduce Gu Ruyi.
He simply wanted to get a basin of manure from the pit and let those people look at it to see if they were worthy.
They are either too short or too thin, old and ugly like refugees, yet they dare to covet a fairy like Gu Ruyi, how shameless are they!
Amid Qi Lin's resentment, they finally arrived at the infirmary.
Gu Ruyi finally felt relieved.
Only then did she notice that Qi Lin was still there.
When Gu Ruyi thought about the journey she had with Qi Lin, she had a bad feeling.
Her face suddenly turned ugly.
"Comrade Qi, I'm here. Sorry to bother you today. Thank you."
No matter what, Qi Lin helped her after all, so no matter how unhappy she was, Gu Ruyi still thanked him politely.
In fact, Gu Ruyi originally wanted to treat Qi Lin to a bottle of soda or a meal, but she really didn't want to have too much involvement with Qi Lin, so she could only shamelessly thank him verbally.
Qi Lian didn't feel he was being perfunctory at all, and said happily: "You're welcome, Comrade Xiao Gu, just work hard, and we'll see you next time."
Gu Ruyi: “Yeah!”
In fact, she really hoped not to see him again.
Unfortunately, given the current situation, this is just her delusion.
Gu Ruyi was undoubtedly the last one to arrive today, but she was not late.
Liao Yanyan looked at the time on her watch, which was exactly eight o'clock, and was very unwilling to accept it. She muttered, "You are really calculating. You don't want to arrive even a minute early."
Gu Ruyi just ignored her and went to change her clothes first.
Unexpectedly, after coming out, Liao Yanyan acted as if nothing had happened. She came up to her and asked, "Xiao Gu, is the person who sent you off just now your boyfriend? He doesn't look like someone from our factory. What does he do? Where does he live? Where do his parents work?"
Gu Ruyi raised her eyebrows, "Auntie, have you changed your career?"
Liao Yanyan didn't understand for a moment, "What career should I change to?"
Gu Ruyi crossed her arms, her eyes raised with a hint of sarcasm, "Oh! I thought you went to check your household registration, you asked so clearly."
Liao Yanyan felt a little embarrassed, but rarely did she get angry.
"Hey! I'm doing this for your own good. I don't think that guy is a good person, and I'm afraid you'll be cheated."
Gu Ruyi got goosebumps all over her body.
Liao Yanyan is actually worried about her, is it possible? No one believes it.
It's clearly a weasel paying New Year's greetings to the chicken, with ulterior motives.
I just don't know what her evil intentions are.
"Auntie, you can't judge a person by appearance. You look more like a bad person, but are you?"
"You..." The damn girl actually dared to curse her in a roundabout way.
Liao Yanyan glared at her, and Gu Ruyi was waiting for her to make a move.
But the amazing thing is that in the end she actually endured it and said nothing.
Liao Yanyan actually became a Ninja Turtle.
It's really rare to see.
Could it be because of Qi Lian? Is that guy so charming?
Of course Qi Lian didn’t. Although he was good-looking, in Liao Yanyan’s eyes, good looks could not make a living.
In Liao Yanyan's opinion, the imported Swiss watch on Qi Lian's hand is much more attractive than Qi Lian himself.
And the pen on Qi Lian’s chest is actually a Montblanc pen.
Montblanc pens cost dozens of dollars, and ordinary people don’t have the means to buy them, let alone Swiss watches, which are twice as expensive as Shanghai watches.
Anyone who can wear these two things and walk around in public must be from an extraordinary family.
He is handsome, rich and possibly powerful. He is definitely a rich son-in-law!
If you hook up with this kind of person, you will never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life.
Unfortunately, I'm married.
well! It’s all her mother’s fault for giving birth to her too early.
Liao Yanyan beat her feet and stamped her chest. At this moment, she could only try to cheer herself up and think that fortunately she still had a younger sister.
If she can't marry a rich man, she can just bring him home to be her brother-in-law. This way, her sister can live a good life, and as the matchmaker, she can also get some benefits.
It was with this idea in mind that Liao Yanyan tolerated Gu Ruyi again and again.
Oh, you said the rich son-in-law is Gu Ruyi's boyfriend...
Hi! Not married again.
As long as the hoe is used well, even the strongest corner of the wall will fall down.
As for her sister, she doesn't look as good as Gu Ruyi.
Appearance is secondary. Her sister has a round face, and it's obvious that she will bring good luck to her husband.
Moreover, her sister can get up earlier than the chickens and sleep later than the dogs. Not only is she virtuous and filial, but she also has a big butt. It seems that she can give birth to many sons. She is not comparable to a fairy like Gu Ruyi.
As long as the rich son-in-law is not stupid, he will know that it is better to choose her sister.
Liao Yanyan has full confidence in her sister.
You have to find out the identity of your rich son-in-law first. After all, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle!
————
The morning passed as Gu Ruyi was having bad luck from time to time.
On this day, Gu Ruyi experienced choking every time she drank water, choking every time she ate, it rained every time she went out, everything she bought was spoiled, etc.
Although they were all minor incidents and not life-threatening, Gu Ruyi still felt exhausted after experiencing so many of them in one day.
The next day, Gu Ruyi went to work in fear.
In order to avoid a repeat of yesterday's experience, she gave up riding her bike today and brought two umbrellas and a raincoat.
Everything is ready, but the result... Hey! It's a sunny day today.
Gu Ruyi had a smooth journey to work and nothing went wrong until she arrived at the infirmary.
Bad luck is gone!
Realizing this, Gu Ruyi was ecstatic.
Fortunately! Luckily it’s only one day!
She had had enough of the bad days and didn't want to experience them again.
She was left with a shadow yesterday.
Without the haze in her heart, Gu Ruyi's smile that morning was brighter than a blooming flower.
Everyone in the infirmary was also infected by her smile and everyone was in high spirits.
oh! Except Liao Yanyan.
"Ding-ling-ling..."
As soon as the clock struck twelve, Wang Shengnan rushed to Gu Ruyi and said, "Ruyi, I heard that the third canteen is serving braised fish today. Do you want to go and eat?"
If it were yesterday, Gu Ruyi would definitely not have gone, because the third canteen was the farthest from their infirmary, and Gu Ruyi was afraid that something unexpected might happen on the way.
But I'm not afraid today.
Gu Ruyi picked up her lunch box and said, "Go, go, go. Only a fool would not go."
The two of them walked hand in hand, as close as one person.
Then, not long after walking, he ran into the smirking Qi Lin.
Gu Ruyi: “…”
I knew this guy had no good intentions when he came to the steel mill.
Qi Lian, who had ulterior motives, greeted them with a smile, "Comrade Xiao Gu, Comrade Wang, good afternoon, are you going to the cafeteria?"
Wang Shengnan couldn't bear to watch it.
"Comrade Qi, did you pick up any money today?"
He smiled like a fool, what a waste of that pretty face.
Qi Lian glanced at Gu Ruyi secretly, "It's more fun than picking up money."
hey-hey! Wang Erhu just told him that Gu Ruyi was not close to any male gay.
Qi Lin was so delighted that the girl he liked was not seduced away by a strange man that he wanted to sway with the wind.
As for Gu Ruyi deceiving him...
That's because she is vigilant and knows how to be careful around strangers.
Moreover, he was willing to be deceived. As long as Gu Ruyi wanted, he would have no complaints even if he was cheated of his money and sex.
Wang Shengnan didn't know that Qi Lin, who looked serious, had something bad in his mind. Thanks to Qi Lin's identity as the captain of the security guard, Wang Shengnan gave him face and replied, "That must be a great event. Congratulations. By the way, the third canteen is serving braised fish today. Comrade Qi, are you going?"
It’s clear at first glance that Wang Shengnan is in the same group as Gu Ruyi, so is there any need to ask! Qi Lin would definitely be willing to do so!
"Go ahead. I was just about to tell you about this. I didn't expect that we would think of the same thing."
"Then let's go quickly. If we're late it will be gone." Wang Jienan pulled Gu Ruyi and ran away first.
Qi Lian had a lot to say but didn't say a word before he arrived at the third canteen.
Qi Lian: This is outrageous. Why are you running so fast, Mr. Wang?
Wang Shengnan: Of course it’s for the food!
Wang Shengnan and her friends were not the only ones who were well-informed. When they arrived, there was already a long queue in the third canteen, which was packed with people. The chattering was louder than in a vegetable market.
"Ah! There are so many people here, we won't be left behind when it's our turn."
Wang Shengnan quickly pulled Gu Ruyi and started queuing.
Of course Qi Lin followed closely behind, but he didn't expect that as soon as he raised his foot, a woman suddenly joined the team.
Qi Lin's brows immediately knitted together, "Comrade, I came here first, please don't cut in line."
When Qin Huairou heard this voice, her heart was moved.
As expected, he is the man who could defeat the former captain of the guard corps. You can tell he is powerful just by listening to his voice.
"Comrade...Comrade..." Tan Huairou half raised her head, revealing her pointed chin and eyes full of pity.
"I...my husband is gone, and I have a crying child at home. Can you have pity on me and let me go first?"
A sympathetic remark, coupled with Qin Huairou's delicate temperament, any ordinary man would definitely agree with it.
Unfortunately, Qi Lin is not an ordinary man.
"Sister, the child won't starve if he eats two minutes late, but you cut in line and break the rules. If everyone follows your example, it will be chaos."
Qin Huairou was stunned when she waited for Qi Lian's sympathy but got scolded instead...
Why doesn't this man play by the rules?
It would be fine if he didn't sympathize with her, but he even lectured her.
Are you a man? So hard-hearted.
No, it must be that she is not pitiful enough.
The unwilling Qin Huairou seemed to be broken into pieces, and staggered towards Qi Lan.
Qi Lin's heart was filled with alarm bells, and he jumped aside suddenly, "Sister, can you please stand properly? Are you trying to scam me?"
Seeing Qi Lan's attitude of "stay away from me" and trying to avoid Tan Huairou, Gu Ruyi finally couldn't help shaking his shoulders.
Wang Shengnan was even more blunt and just burst out laughing.
The female comrade standing not far away started talking directly.
"This Qin Huairou is such a shameless old man. He is old and has three children, yet he dares to provoke this newcomer."
"Humph! Isn't it these people in the factory who don't care about meat and vegetables that gave her the confidence?"
"She must have forgotten about Comrade Gu. With Comrade Gu's example, even a blind person would never fall for her!"
"Don't mention it. Seeing her get humiliated makes me feel better than drinking a soda."
“Me too, hahaha…”
Faint voices reached Qin Huairou's ears.
Although she didn't hear it clearly, Qin Huairou could tell with her toes that the group of people definitely didn't say anything nice.
A bunch of bitches.
How pitiful she is, having lost her husband and having three hungry children! Instead of sympathizing with her, no one wants to laugh at her. What a heartless person.
Although he was resentful in his heart, Qin Huairou looked weak on the surface. "Comrade... Comrade, don't get me wrong. I didn't eat breakfast this morning, so I'm a little weak."
With such a delicate voice and a pale face, most men would probably lose their sympathy.
Qi Lin sneered, "Big sister, you are really smart. You knew you were going to fall, and you found a meat shield in advance."
Tan Huairou: Vomiting bloodjpg
She never expected to hear such an answer.
What kind of man is this? He is even more wooden than a piece of wood.
It was really unlucky for her to meet such a man.
Qin Huairou, who was almost crying with anger, walked back silently and started to queue up obediently.
Although I still covet Qi Lin and his money.
But there was no way, Qi Lin really didn't take the bait.
It was obvious that he hated me, and if I continued to pester him, I would only offend him completely.
Qi Lin was able to become the captain of the guard as soon as he took office. Either he is capable or he has a strong backing. She can't afford to offend such a person.
She had given up in her heart, but when she saw Qi Lan caring about Gu Ruyi in the back row, Qin Huairou couldn't help feeling resentful.
Men are not good people, they only care about looks.
And Gu Ruyi is simply a fickle bitch who has hooked up with one man after another. Does she have any shame?
While cursing these words, Qin Huairou selectively forgot that she was the one who was flirting everywhere.
Soon, it was their turn to serve the food.
