The 28th day of being eavesdropped
Riding a bike is of course faster than walking, but Gu Jinshui also knew in his heart that he would not be able to catch up with the transaction.
He was not in a hurry to leave, but thought that there was something he had to tell Grandpa Guan.
When Gu Jinshui arrived at Guan's house, the car stopped, and Grandma Guan heard the movement and came out of the house. When she saw him, she waved: "Young man, come in quickly!"
Gu Jinshui was stunned for a moment, and his eyes met Song Jianshe who was behind Grandma Guan with a dark face.
Song Jianshe squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Gu Jinshui, you are capable, Grandpa and Grandma Guan said that they had to wait for you to come before discussing the transaction."
What else did Gu Jinshui not understand?
He looked at Aunt Guan, and felt a little warm in his heart. He quickly got out of the car and went into the yard.
Aunt Guan was also a little embarrassed, and waved to Gu Jinshui: "Come in quickly, your master is impatient because he is waiting."
"What nonsense are you talking about, who is impatient?"
Grandpa Guan's hoarse voice rang out.
Gu Jinshui smiled and walked into the house, "Grandpa, I'm late, and I was delayed on the road. I'm really sorry."
Grandpa Guan glanced at him, said nothing, picked up the snuff bottle wrapped in a handkerchief on the table, slowly opened it, and put it on the table: "The things are here, you can check the goods."
Gu Jinshui took a closer look, and it was still the same thing.
He nodded and said, "The things are good, Master, is the price still 1200 yuan?"
Song Jianshe interrupted, "Master, I don't need to look at it, I trust you."
Master Guan ignored him, holding a rough porcelain tea bowl in his hand, "I said yesterday that it was at least 1200 yuan, let's see who offers the highest price."
"Of course, of course, you are at a loss if you buy this good thing cheaply, right?"
Song Jianshe took out a bundle from his pocket and opened it. Inside was a small half of a small yellow croaker. A small yellow croaker is one tael, which is 31g. This half is about 14g. At present, the gold price is 84 yuan/g, so it can be said that this half is worth about 1300 yuan.
When the small half of the small yellow croaker appeared, Master Guan was stunned. He took the small yellow croaker and bit it with his teeth. It was real gold!
"Grandpa, my sincerity is enough, isn't it?"
Song Jianshe said, "You can sell this thing on the black market for at least 1,300 yuan. This money is enough for you two to live on in your old age."
Grandpa Guan's lips moved, and he was a little tempted.
Aunt Guan coughed.
Grandpa was silent for a while, put down the small yellow croaker, and looked at Gu Jinshui: "How much do you plan to pay?"
Song Jianshe looked at Gu Jinshui confidently.
He knew in his heart that Gu Jinshui was definitely not as well prepared as he was.
At most, he brought 1,200 yuan.
The difference of more than 100 yuan, unless Grandpa Guan was crazy, he would sell the thing to Gu Jinshui.
"I only brought 1,200 yuan and a ticket for a sewing machine."
Gu Jinshui took out a thick stack of banknotes from his pocket.
Grandpa Guan opened his mouth, with an embarrassed look on his face.
The sewn plane ticket is valuable, but only a few dozen dollars.
"Grandpa, you should sell it to me. With this money, you can buy any ticket on the black market."
Song Jianshe was happy and reached out to take the snuff bottle.
He had already thought about it. Director Chen loved to collect snuff bottles. If he brought such a thing to sell to him, he could make money and apologize as a gift to make up for his previous mistakes. For this thing, Director Chen should cancel his punishment and give him a little token of appreciation.
"Wait!"
Gu Jinshui called Song Jianshe.
He raised his lips and said, "Grandpa, I have another bargaining chip. I have a job here as a female worker in a clothing factory. It pays at least 30 or 40 yuan a month. Is your granddaughter interested in this job?"
Grandpa Guan and Aunt Guan were both stunned.
Aunt Guan said hurriedly, "Yes, our daughter is very skillful. She can use a sewing machine and can make clothes for men and women."
This is a pleasant surprise.
Gu Jinshui originally thought that if the daughter was a novice, he would ask her to learn from Liang Ying for a while.
Liang Ying was very skillful and could make all kinds of clothes. She made all the clothes for the whole family with a sewing machine.
No piece of cloth was wasted when making clothes, and everything was made just right.
Gu Jinshui said, "That's even better."
Seeing an interested look on Grandpa Guan's face, Gu Jinshui stepped forward and poured water for him. "Grandpa, I've only known you two for a short time, but I'm going to say this shamelessly. Your child is a good child. Although she is physically disabled, she has a good character and is hardworking. If you leave your granddaughter in the countryside, she will be farming and raising children all her life. But if you let your granddaughter go to work in the city, that will be different."
"Why is it different? Going to the city means getting married, having children, and raising children."
Grandpa Guan's tone was firm, and he seemed a little embarrassed.
Gu Jinshui was not angry, and laughed, "It doesn't matter who you marry, right? Forget about anything else. It's easy for a young lady with a job in the city to find a partner. And you have a stable job, so even your in-laws have to be polite to you. It's not like money or gold, it's just a hammer of buying and selling."
Gu Jinshui's words really hit the nail on the head for Aunt Guan.
Aunt Guan patted her thigh and said, "The young man is
thoughtful. Old man, if our eldest daughter has a job, she can support herself for the rest of her life!" They were worried about their granddaughter being alone and helpless in the future.
This job opportunity really solved their urgent needs.
"Will our Daya be hired for this job?"
Grandpa Guan asked, moving his lips and clearing his throat.
Gu Jinshui clapped his hands and said, "That's great. I tell you, there are many disabled people employed in that clothing factory, and the leaders are very concerned about them. If Daya goes there, no one will dare to bully her!"
Aunt Guan was anxious.
Why are you still hesitating with such good conditions?
She was a little worried that people would look down on Daya if she went there, but when she heard that there were disabled people there, she was relieved. After all, they were all miserable people, and no one should look down on anyone.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, you have to think carefully, this may not work!"
Song Jianshe was a little flustered when he saw that Grandpa Guan and Aunt Guan seemed to want to agree.
Grandpa Guan waved his hands: "No need, I trust this young man. Young man, I will sell this thing to you. I want one thousand for you. The thing is yours, but you have to help us get the job done!"
"Of course. Apart from anything else, you have been friends with Mr. Chen for many years, and I can't cheat you."
Gu Jinshui suppressed his joy. He did not bargain. He counted the money and gave one thousand to the old man, and then said casually: "Grandpa, this one thousand is not a small amount. I heard from my friends that some bungalows in the city are about this price."
Grandpa Guan thought for a while, said nothing, and took the money.
He was really straightforward. He gave the things directly to Gu Jinshui without writing any notes or asking him to write any promises. He just said, "Come to me when it's done."
"Don't worry, I'll come to your house the day after tomorrow at the latest."
Gu Jinshui said with a smile, like a fox that had stolen food.
Song Jianshe was very angry and glared at Gu Jinshui when he left.
"You are so capable that you actually used this trick!"
"Same here."
Gu Jinshui brushed off the dust on his body. "You, Song Jianshe, are also capable. You have sharp ears and can know everything."
Song Jianshe showed a guilty look on his face.
Gu Jinshui sneered and rode away.
Guan Daye's house.
Aunt Guan didn't even look at the money, but walked back and forth in the house in a state of joy. "That's good, our Daya has a job."
Just as she was talking, Daya came in from outside.
She was holding a hoe in her hand, her face was gloomy. After entering the house, she saw Grandpa Guan and Aunt Guan's happy faces. She was a little confused and called out, "Grandpa, grandma."
"Daya, you're back at the right time. Grandma will go buy meat and cook."
Aunt Guan said happily.
"No need, just heat up the steamed buns from the morning. I'll go to the fields after I finish eating."
Daya said hurriedly.
Grandpa Guan glanced at his granddaughter and saw that her lips were cracked from dryness and her hair wrapped in a scarf was dry and yellow like weeds. He was immediately furious, "Are you going to work for the Bai family again?"
Daya pursed her lips, lowered her eyelids, and said nothing.
Grandpa Guan held her hands and closed his eyes, "You are not allowed to go. The granddaughter of my Guan family is not married to others to be a slave."
"This marriage is cancelled!"
Daya was stunned, raised her head and looked at Grandpa Guan in surprise: "Cancel..."
"Old man, are you serious?"
Aunt Guan was also a little surprised, "Don't say that!"
"Who said that? My granddaughter will be a employed person in the city from now on. Why would she marry Bai Sheng?" Grandpa Guan stood up with full of energy. "Sit down. I'm going to explain everything to the Bai family. What a rotten family. They are so poor. Do you really think that my granddaughter will be unwanted if she leaves his son?"
Guan Daya was stunned for a moment. When she saw Grandpa Guan leaving the house, she finally responded. "Grandma, what's going on?"
Aunt Guan couldn't help smiling. She held Guan Daya's hand and said, "Da Ya, your grandfather has found a way out for you. You don't have to rush to get married..."
Guan Daya still couldn't believe it until Aunt Guan said that Grandpa Guan earned money from selling snuff bottles and got her a job opportunity. Only then did she believe it was true.
Guan Daya was silent for a moment, and tears fell as soon as she opened her mouth.
Aunt Guan felt so distressed that she held her in her arms and touched her sunken face, "Don't cry, my dear. Your life will be sweet in the future."
The wheat-colored pancakes in the hot pot made a sizzling sound, and the rich wheat aroma spread in the large courtyard.
Although Liang Ying was not good at cooking, she could make simple spring cakes. She quickly made seven or eight spring cakes. The hot and thin spring cakes were placed on a orchid plate. They were topped with shredded radish, shredded cucumber, bean sprouts, pork head meat and pine nut pork belly bought from outside.
Gu Jinshui was attracted by the fragrance as soon as he entered the yard. He followed the fragrance to his room.
"It smells so good, wife, why don't you leave it there for me?"
He said as he pinched a piece of pork head meat and put it in his mouth. The pork head meat was chewy and tasted delicious when dipped in some sweet noodle sauce.
His expression was so enjoyable that Gu Yousi, who was holding a small piece of spring cake, looked at the spring cake in her hand, then looked at the pork head in his hand, and suddenly felt unbalanced: "Meat, meat..." "
Call me daddy and I'll give it to you!"
Gu Jinshui teased the child, squatting in front of Gu Yousi with the pork head.
Gu Yousi looked at him with contempt, turned her head and looked at her mother, "Mom, meat, meat..."
Liang Ying pursed her lips to hold back her smile, pinched a small piece of lean meat and put it in her hand, "Eat less, there will be tomato porridge for you later."
Gu Yousi pretended not to hear.
She is eating complementary food now, which is all kinds of porridge, egg porridge, millet porridge, pumpkin porridge, tomato porridge, and she has become a Buddhist.
I finally had a bite of meat, and I felt so happy.
