The 63rd day of being eavesdropped
Although Shanhu's wedding was hasty, fortunately, he had everything he needed.
He had already reserved a lot of chickens, ducks, fish and meat in advance, and originally these things were to be returned, but now that he was getting married, he didn't have to return the things.
As for relatives and friends, he mainly invited people like Gu Jinshui and Douzi, and Lin Lu only had a few cousins, so although the wedding was hasty, it was not difficult to hold it in a decent manner.
Early in the morning.
Just as Gu Jinshui was about to leave, someone called to say that Chen Dengxing was looking for him.
Gu Jinshui immediately knew that it was about the blood-stained jade, so he quickly called and hurried to Chen Dengxing's house.
"Little Gu, please count, exactly 72,000, is that right?"
A pile of banknotes lay before him.
Gu Jinshui would be lying if he said he was not tempted.
He said directly: "Uncle, we are so familiar with each other, do we still need to count? I trust you."
"Hahaha, friendship is friendship, but etiquette is etiquette, you should still count."
Chen Dengxing said with a smile, holding a purple clay pot in his hand, and took a few sips. He was very happy, "Little Gu, you are doing a good job, if you come across such good things in the future, come to me again, I will help you sell them."
"Thank you so much, Uncle Chen."
Gu Jinshui stood up to thank him, and did not refuse, and counted them himself.
His wife had a lot of gold bars and jewelry, which could be worth hundreds of thousands of yuan if they were converted into cash. But Gu Jinshui had never been jealous of them. Only the pile of cash in front of him made him jealous.
Seventy-two thousand.
Gu Jinshui counted the entire seventy-two thousand, took out two thousand, and pushed it in front of Chen Dengxing: "Uncle Chen, this is a little gift from me, please don't think
it's too little." "Hey, take it back quickly." Chen Dengxing was a little surprised, but his smile became a little more friendly. He put down the purple clay pot and waved his hand, "The buyer has already given me a red envelope, so I don't need yours."
"The buyer is the buyer, I am me, and this is my way of showing my respect to you."
Gu Jinshui said, "I also know that it is not easy for you to make connections here, and I can't ask you to run errands for nothing."
It is said that Gu Jinshui is good at handling things. After he said this, Chen Dengxing liked him more and more. After thinking about it, he said, "Then I will accept it, but it's just this time. You don't need to give so much in the future. Just give me a red envelope every time you see it."
This means that he wants to do a long-term business.
Gu Jinshui was happy and agreed with a smile.
He took a tattered nylon bag, threw all the money in it, stuffed it with cotton wool, and no one who saw it would have thought that there was so much money in it.
Chen Dengxing looked at him and nodded slightly, then asked, "Xiao Gu, didn't your master ask you to go to Xi'an to dig land?"
"Yes, yes, but I had a lot of things to do at home and couldn't let go."
Gu Jinshui said perfunctorily.
Chen Dengxing heard this and said with regret: "That's a pity. Xi'an is different from Beijing. There are many good products there. I heard that many colleagues have gone there. If I didn't have a job to deal with, I would like to go there myself."
Gu Jinshui couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this and asked: "Uncle Chen, is there something going on there?"
Chen Dengxing glanced at him and said, "Why? Didn't your master tell you?"
What did he say? The old man didn't like to talk to people all day long. Gu Jinshui smiled and touched his nose: "I think my master didn't tell me because he thought I was not well-informed."
"Then you should go back and ask your master." Chen Dengxing smiled and looked like a Maitreya Buddha.
Gu Jinshui felt helpless.
He thought that the old man probably meant for him to go when he asked him that day, but he was so busy this month that he had forgotten about it. The old man was unhappy, so he didn't remind him.
Although he realized that he had missed a great opportunity, he was still very happy because he had made a fortune today.
At Shanhu's wedding, he directly took out a pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets that he had bought in the afternoon and handed them to Shanhu, "A wedding gift for you."
The golden dragon and phoenix bracelets blinded many people's eyes.
Lin Lu and several other aunts were so obsessed with the dragon and phoenix bracelets that they even forgot to eat meat.
Today's table is quite good, with four cold dishes, eight hot dishes, and snacks, a pair of pig's trotters, braised fish, boiled old hens, and a roast duck that has just been out of the oven...
"Brother, the gift you gave is too expensive. We appreciate your kindness, but please take it back."
Lin Lu was dressed like a normal bride today, with a red suit, a red skirt, and a flower on her collar, but the smile on her face today added some color to her. At this time, she spoke openly to Gu Jinshui and others, which made people feel that this girl was really good.
"Yes, brother, you have taken care of me so much over the years, I can't ask for your things anymore."
Shanhu also said.
His face was particularly good today, as if he was happy, or because he drank too much.
Liang Ying smiled and said, "You all call him brother, if you don't accept this bracelet, it would be rude. We are just a few brothers in Jinshui. Today is a good day for you and Xiaolin to get married. If he doesn't show some appreciation, I will scold him."
"That's right, did you hear what your sister-in-law said? Take it quickly."
Gu Jinshui stuffed the box into Shanhu's hand without saying anything.
Shanhu and Lin Lu looked at each other, both bowed their heads shyly, and thanked him.
Douzi and his friends also came to give gifts. Douzi gave bicycle tickets. He said, "Shanhu, you are so old, and it's okay to walk on foot on weekdays. But when you have a wife in the future, you can't let her suffer. This bicycle ticket is for your sister-in-law."
"I don't..." Shanhu was about to refuse, but Douzi patted his chest and said, "Why, do you think it's too little? If you don't accept it, you are not a brother." Douzi
said so, Shanhu had to accept it. Since he accepted Douzi's gifts, he naturally couldn't refuse the gifts from other brothers.
Lin Lu's aunts and uncles were all stunned.
Nowadays, the gifts for weddings and funerals are mostly two or three yuan, which is already very generous. Who can be as generous as Shanhu and his brothers, giving gold bracelets and bicycle tickets.
The wedding banquet was over, and the young people went to the bridal chamber.
Lin Lu's aunts helped to clean up the leftovers. These were good things and there was no reason to throw them away. They could either be kept for the next few days or shared with relatives to bring some joy.
Shanhu was not stingy. He knew that Lin Lu's aunts had difficult family conditions. Otherwise, they would not have helped Lin Lu and her daughter for so many years. It was really because his own family was stretched to the limit.
Today, her aunts and uncles came to help clean up and cook, so he took the initiative to tell Lin's mother to give the leftovers to these relatives.
"Are you really giving all this to us?"
Aunt Lin Lu looked at the pork elbow in the lunch box, her face full of disbelief. "Sister, please don't just take care of us. You will still have to rely on this son-in-law in the future. I, we..."
She wanted to say that their family didn't need it, but the words couldn't come out. The last time the children ate meat was during the Chinese New Year when they had dumplings with a little meat smell. If they took so much meat back and saved it, it would last for at least seven or eight days.
"My son-in-law told you that he felt bad for the elders who came to help so early in the morning, so he asked me to share these among you."
Mother Lin opened the steamer, revealing the soft and fluffy white steamed buns with red dots on them. "And these steamed buns are specially made for the children. I calculated that if you take six back home, it will be enough for the children."
The white steamed buns were fragrant, and the faint wheat aroma seemed to have lingered in everyone's mouth.
They couldn't say no, so they had to accept them with red faces.
The third uncle said, "We were worried about Shanhu's small family before, but today we see that he has many brothers. If anything happens to your family in the future, you don't have to worry."
"That's right," Lin's mother smiled all day, "I thought this child was good before, and I thought it was a pity for this child to be with someone else. I didn't expect that he would end up with our daughter."
The front yard was bustling, and no
one dared to come out of the Qi family in the back. Qi stopped smoking, smelling the fragrance of food and listening to the laughter in front, he felt so angry.
After the Gu family helped Shanhu's family clean up the dishes, they went back.
When they got home, Gu Jinshui immediately asked Gu Yinxing to close the door. He walked into the house carrying a nylon bag and said, "Come in, all of you."
"What? Why did you bring this bag of cotton in?"
Gu Yinxing yawned and walked into the east room.
Liang Ying closed the window. Gu Yousi blinked and saw that the bag seemed to have some weight. There should be more than just cotton in it.
Gu Jinshui looked at his lady with admiration. After all, his lady was smart.
He took out the cotton on top and took out the things inside one by one.
The expressions of Gu Yinxing and others changed from surprise to shock and then to unbelievable.
The kang was gradually covered with RMB. He Chunlian rubbed her eyes and couldn't believe it. "So much money?"
She lowered her voice but quickly covered her mouth.
Gu Jinshui nodded and said, "Guess how much?"
"Fifty thousand, brother, you've made a fortune!" Gu Yinxing's eyes were shining. She stroked those lovely banknotes and suddenly found that this small house was so charming.
"It must be seventy thousand."
Liang Ying was surprised, but she had seen big scenes after all, so she was not too shocked by such a large amount of money. She was just happy for Gu Jinshui.
Gu Jinshui gave Liang Ying a thumbs up and said, "My wife is smart. It's only 70,000."
"Mom, son, did you rob a bank?"
He Chunlian lowered her chin and looked at Gu Jinshui worriedly, "Although our family is not rich, we are not short of money."
"Mom, do you think your son is stupid? Your son can make a lot of money without robbing a bank."
Gu Jinshui looked at his family's surprised expressions and felt very relieved.
He gave one stack to Gu Yinxing and one stack to He Chunlian, "Here are some pocket money for you. This money is clean. I made it from selling antiques."
Gu Yinxing covered the banknotes in his hand and looked at Gu Jinshui admiringly, "Brother, you are awesome. I think you are more handsome than that Gao Cangjian!"
"You compare me with the Japanese. You'd better give the money back." Gu Jinshui pretended to be angry and wanted to take the money back.
Gu Yinxing quickly changed her words: "No, no, I was wrong. You are the most handsome and intelligent man in the country!"
He Chunlian, who was listening beside her, found it hard to believe that her daughter would say this. She looked at Gu Jinshui and shook her head. The one who was so shameless as to ask for flattery was actually her son.
