Gu An'an: ...There's no need for that.
Those who knew about it all agreed to keep it a secret. Even if someone saw Gu An'an going to Wang Laonian's house, they only assumed that she went there for the furniture.
Holding the prescription left by Gu An'an, Wang Laonian immediately went to ask the village chief for leave to go to the commune.
When he arrived at the commune hospital, he asked carefully and learned that the prescription would help his wife's condition. He was so excited.
Gu An'an continued to work, earning full work points every day.
"Wow, that Gu Zhiqing is really amazing. If you didn't know better, you'd think she was a native of this area."
"She's even more capable than the girls in our village. I worked on the same plot of land with her today, and she did a better job than me. I really don't know which family is lucky enough to marry a wife like her."
Do you think my guards have a chance?
As soon as these words were spoken, someone couldn't help but laugh and say, "What are you thinking? Your guards are not only not as tall as Gu Zhiqing, but they are also not as capable as Gu Zhiqing. Why would Gu Zhiqing choose your guards of all people?"
The woman who was rebuked immediately became unhappy, "Who says you have to be tall and capable to be together? Maybe the two kids will hit it off."
In a mother's heart, her son is good no matter what, and no one can say a word against him, otherwise she will definitely fight with the other party.
Seeing her like this, no one else said much, but no one was optimistic about her son being able to be with Gu Zhiqing.
"You'd better take it easy. The village chief's family has a good relationship with Gu Zhiqing. If they find out you're after Gu Zhiqing, who knows what they'll do."
The guard's mother was already enjoying the good life of getting work points and money after marrying her son, and didn't care about this matter at all.
"So what if they have a good relationship? As long as Gu Zhiqing is willing, what can the village chief say? She's not his daughter."
The woman thought it over and over and thought it was a good idea. She quickened her pace to go home. She had to go back and have a good talk with her son. If he really married such a wife, she would have less to worry about in the future.
"Look at her, she really loves to dream."
"Let her be. Anyway, I think Gu Zhiqing would definitely look down on the guards. Let's just watch the show."
The women went home one by one, not taking it seriously. They chatted for a bit and then hurried home, as there was a lot of work to do. They not only had to take care of the food and drink of the whole family, but also had to tidy up their private plots before things got really busy, as that was related to the family's food supply for the whole year.
Ever since Zhou Yue learned to cook, Gu An'an would go up the mountain after work and pick up whatever she could find. In just half a month, she had dried a bunch of white Ganoderma lucidum slices.
Not only that, but there were also more than a dozen pheasants and rabbits in the space, and they even encountered a wild boar mother with a wild boar baby, which Gu An'an almost put into the space.
With so many things to take care of, Gu An'an decided to go to the commune to use some up, so she asked for leave under the pretext of sending a letter.
Of course, she wasn't lying. In the past few days, she had traded some dried vegetables in the village and asked Zhao Hu to help her get some red sausage and meat, which she could send back to Director Li.
"Okay, I won't have time to go to the commune these next few days, you'll have to figure it out yourself."
Gu An'an nodded to indicate that there was no problem. Xiao Wang Village was the closest village to the commune, only a little over an hour's walk away. For Gu An'an, who often escaped in the apocalypse, this was a piece of cake.
Gu An'an carried a bag of things out of the village. Many people saw her along the way. When they heard that she was going to send something to her family, they all nodded and said that she was a good child. Only the guard's mother did not approve.
"Why send so much stuff back? Wouldn't it be better to keep it for yourself? You're such an idiot."
She was muttering to herself, unaware that someone was behind her.
"What are you saying, Guard's mother? Gu Zhiqing wanted to exchange those things to take home; that's her way of being filial. What business is it of yours?"
The guard's mother was caught red-handed and could only awkwardly explain, "I just felt that it wasn't easy for her to live here alone, so of course she should keep the good things for herself."
After saying that, the guard's mother made an excuse to leave. She needed to have a serious talk with her son, urging him to act sooner and marry the woman sooner so that they would suffer less loss.
"I feel like something's off about her."
The woman watched her departing figure and asked the old woman beside her.
"She's taken a liking to Gu Zhiqing and wants him to be her daughter-in-law. Now that Gu Zhiqing is sending lots of things back to her parents' home, isn't that heartbreaking for her?"
After finishing speaking, they briefly recounted what had happened the day before, and the group looked at each other and shook their heads.
They have such beautiful ideas, but they don't even consider how big the gap is between reality and their ideals.
Gu An'an was unaware of all this. She walked quickly towards the commune, first going to the post office to mail the items and letters. Then she found a quiet, secluded place to slip into her spatial dimension, tidied herself up, and then left the space carrying the meat, grain, and eggs that had already been divided up.
Following the direction Zhao Hu pointed out, Gu An'an quickly found the black market, gave two cents, and went inside.
This is a commune after all, unlike the big cities we used to live in. There are far fewer people here, whether you're buying or selling.
However, good things are always in short supply. Just as Gu An'an untied the cloth that had been brought up the basket, revealing the eggs and meat inside, two people walked towards her.
How much does it cost?
Gu An'an stated the price, and the two exchanged a glance before making their move, each taking fifteen eggs and a piece of meat.
Gu An'an had already divided the meat into portions of three jin each. Although it was a bit much, it was rare to find meat without a ration coupon, so she bought it anyway, since the weather wouldn't get any worse.
Once one person saw it, another would follow, and others flocked over as well. Gu An'an's large basket of goods sold out in no time.
Of course, only half is sold retail; the other half is taken away by others.
Do you still have these items? I'm buying them for my company; can you give me a discount if I buy in bulk?
These days, supplies are scarce. Whether it's ordinary people on the platform or company canteens, it's not easy to get good things. When necessary, they have to come to places like this, but the prices can't be too high.
"Yes, I do have some, but I don't know how many you need."
The man gave an approximate number, and Gu An'an pondered for a moment before nodding and saying, "Okay, but it will have to be later."
The two agreed on a time and place, and Gu An'an delivered all the remaining meat from the wild boar, along with 500 jin of rice and 200 eggs, making a considerable profit.
Having achieved her goal, Gu An'an carried the dried white Ganoderma lucidum to the commune hospital.
"Did you make this yourself?"
The male doctor, who was in his fifties, looked surprised as he looked at the white Ganoderma lucidum, which was of excellent quality.
"Yes, do you accept them here?"
Of course I bought them, but the price wasn't very high. However, the quantity was quite large, so I still made some money.
After finishing these things, Gu An'an started walking back. Although the distance wasn't long, Gu An'an still wanted to get a bicycle to ride whenever she wanted.
Actually, she wanted to take the car out of the space and drive it, but if someone happened to see it, it would be all over. She thought it was better to give up and avoid such troublesome things.
As soon as Gu An'an entered the village, someone called out to her again.
