Chapter 58 (Minor Repair)
Yu Yao understood Gu Wu's original intention. He probably wanted Yu Yao to hand over the method of making pickles to the troops like the previous protein bar making method, and he would naturally try his best to give Yu Yao the highest reward.
Moreover, based on his current understanding of Yu Yao, Yu Yao would not ask for a huge amount of money. At most, they could give Yu Yao more subsidies privately.
This is a good thing that benefits the country and the people, and she thinks Yu Yao will not refuse.
If he had not discussed it with the Liao family, perhaps Yu Yao would not have refused. However, because Yu Yao proposed a new plan, he was in a dilemma.
After all, there are soldiers in the army, and those who retire are also soldiers. Most of those retired soldiers retire due to various reasons such as injuries and illnesses, and many of them cannot be arranged for work. It would be a great thing if we could help them find jobs.
Yu Yao talked to him and found that his ideological realm was indeed quite high. After thinking for a moment, Yu Yao said, "Dad, how long do you think this situation will last?"
"What do you mean?" Gu Wu didn't quite understand what was going on.
"Schools can't go on as normal, and people can't run their own businesses."
Gu Wu paused, and even Gu Qing, who was sitting on the side and listening, felt a pang in his heart. Can such words be said casually?
The father and son looked at each other and thought about the question Yu Yao asked. "What do you mean? Just tell me."
Yu Yao: "From ancient times to the present, historical development has its own laws. Whether it is talent cultivation or business activities, it is inevitable. So I think the current situation cannot continue forever."
"Then the cooperation with the Liao family can be regarded as a trial. When private individuals can start trading, we can follow suit and solve the employment problems of veterans and military dependents, so that the soldiers can see hope for the future and have no worries."
As for the matter of pickles, it is also very simple. Maybe the Liao family can provide it to the troops for free, or maybe they will receive a little reward. These are small things for the troops, but a big deal for the Liao family.
According to Yu Yao's idea, the Liao family can supply a certain amount of pickles to the troops every year, but the troops also have to take on some sales tasks for the Liao family factory. She believes that this will not be difficult to handle.
Of course, this cooperation cannot remain unchanged forever. If something goes wrong with the pickles, or if the customers get tired of the taste and it becomes difficult to sell, then such cooperation cannot continue.
Therefore, cooperation must also change slowly. This is a huge opportunity for Liaojia Village and also an attempt for the troops.
Yu Yao even thought that this attempt could start with the troops in the south and gradually expand the scope.
"No, that won't do. I've put in so much effort, so I have to let my soldiers enjoy the benefits first." No matter how selfless one is, there will always be closeness and distance in one's heart, and this is a good thing that can solve the problem for veterans.
No matter how nicely Yu Yao speaks now, Gu Wu can actually see it clearly. At least for now, there are not many jobs that can be solved. Even the soldiers under his command cannot solve the problem completely. He cannot generously give up the opportunity to others.
"Let's leave it at that for now. I'll think about your suggestion. I'll take the pickles and let everyone taste them. If you don't leave, your mother will make trouble for me again."
Gu Wu glanced towards the door and said helplessly.
Yu Yao smiled and said, "Okay, Dad, you don't have to worry. Think about all the problems and don't be embarrassed to ask for anything because of me. After all, I am just a middleman."
Gu Wu narrowed his eyes slightly. Why didn't he believe it?
My daughter-in-law is really a smart person. She knew how to pass on the responsibility first.
Yu Yao did have this intention. If Gu Wu forced her to learn the method of making pickles, it was not impossible for her to give it to him. She could also persuade the people in Liaojia Village, and she was very confident that she could convince them. However, in the long run, this would obviously not be of much benefit to her future development.
She was really talking about business. When doing business, it is naturally best to achieve a win-win situation. Selfless dedication is acceptable, but such a relationship cannot last.
Doing business is different.
If she really wants to open a factory or a company in the future, the security team will be able to take care of some of the veterans, and she can even open a security company directly. It's a pity that these can only be done slowly.
"Come on, take your time shopping, and let your mom buy you anything you want."
Yu Yao was pulled by Gu Qing and smiled, "Okay, thank you, Dad."
However, just after Gu Wu left, before Yu Yao and others had time to go out, someone came to their house.
"Oh, I come at a bad time. Are you guys going out now?"
Yu Yao and the others packed up and were ready to go out.
The person who came seemed to be about the same age as Zeng Yue, but judging from Zeng Yue's unhappy expression, he was probably not someone with whom she had a close relationship.
Yu Yao glanced at Gu Qing who was standing beside her, and Gu Qing patted her shoulder soothingly.
"Yes, isn't my daughter-in-law here to see us? I'll take her out to see her. Ah Yao, come and say hello. This is Aunt Zhu." Zeng Yue's smile didn't reach her eyes, but she was still very polite.
Yu Yao hurried forward and greeted him politely.
"Oh, look at this girl, she's so pretty. Your Gu Qing is so lucky. Ah Yao, I'm Lin Ling's mother. I came here today to apologize to you. I heard that she got upset and bothered you this morning?" Aunt Zhu smiled a little awkwardly and said, "Zeng Yue, you also know that Lin Ling has no bad intentions. She's just been spoiled. I've locked her up. She will definitely not bother you next time."
"I plan to send her to the countryside to give her a good education."
Yu Yao and Zeng Yue were both shocked. Yu Yao said, "It's just a quarrel. Aunt Zhu, don't take it too seriously. I don't take it to heart."
Hearing her say this, Zeng Yue knew that the girl had not suffered any loss. Although she was reluctant, she still said, "Yes, it's just a quarrel between children. It's not as serious as you say. You should talk to the child properly. There is no need to punish him so severely."
Hearing this, Aunt Zhu sighed, "If it worked, we wouldn't have discovered what happened today. That stupid girl couldn't even see clearly when she was used as a gun. I must send her to suffer."
Yu Yao said, "Since Aunt Zhu is here today, I will tell you the truth. Aunt Zhu, since you know that Lin Ling is like that, you should not send her to the countryside. She will suffer in the countryside, but she is so innocent. If she is deceived by some unrighteous educated youth or villagers, you may not have the chance to regret it."
"Auntie, why don't you find her a job that will make her suffer but not be dangerous."
She thought Su Ye's job was good, but then she changed her mind and thought that if she became a salesperson like Lin Ling, she would drive away all the customers. So she decided to let her mother decide what job to choose.
Aunt Zhu looked scared and said, "You are right, I thought it was simple. Thank you, Auntie, for thinking about her."
Yu Yao smiled and said nothing more.
In her opinion, what Aunt Zhu said at the beginning was true. Lin Ling became the way she is today because of habit, which has a lot to do with the educational methods of them as parents.
Like now, when her daughter made a mistake, she didn't think of teaching her carefully, but just threw her into the countryside. This is too irresponsible.
She thought so and couldn't help but tell Zeng Yue about it after she left the house.
Zeng Yue looked disdainful, "Who said it wasn't true? That girl just came to see you. I'm sure you've heard that her mother brings her to our house every year. I clearly rejected them a few years ago because I saw that Gu Qing didn't have that intention. But they just don't seem to understand. They keep coming every year even though they've been rejected every year."
Yu Yao was also speechless and didn't know how to comment. She glanced at Gu Qing and criticized him with her eyes, "You are quite charming."
Who knew that this guy would smile and show his two neat rows of teeth, pretending to be stupid.
He got it wrong, damn it!
Yu Yao suppressed her laughter and continued to listen to Zeng Yue's words.
"Let's not talk about them. It's bad luck. Anyway, you are in Xichuan, and it won't cause any trouble for you. Don't worry, if Gu Qing dares to let you down, I will break his legs."
Gu Qing: “…” He felt that his status in the family had dropped drastically this time when he returned home. His parents used to revolve around him, but now they wish he could return to the army as soon as possible.
But his wife looked as if she agreed, "Haha, OK, thanks, Mom."
"Come on, Mom will take you to buy some clothes. The department store has some nice cotton-padded jackets and woolen coats recently. Mom will buy them all for you."
Soon, the group of four arrived at the nearest department store. There were not many people in the department store. As soon as they entered, they went straight to the garment area and saw many cotton-padded jackets and overcoats.
It’s not that it looks good, but both in terms of style and color, it is indeed quite fashionable at the moment.
Yu Yao kept an eye on Gu Yu who was silent at the side and said, "There are too many. It's hard to choose. Yu, do you like any of them? Once you've chosen one, I'll help you try it on and see how it looks on you. After I've chosen one, can you also help me try it on?"
Zeng Yue: "That's a good idea. You can only know whether it looks good after you wear it on yourself."
The salesperson here had a pretty good attitude. I don’t know if she noticed something or if she has always had this attitude, but when Yu Yao asked her to take the clothes, she took them down very quickly.
"Ayu, try this blue one. It suits you very well."
Gu Yu has very fair skin, probably because she has been working in the laboratory for many years. With her neat short hair, she is actually very suitable for colors with higher saturation. It's a pity that most clothes in this era are gray, which covers up her original radiance.
"No need, sister-in-law, just choose for yourself, I have clothes to wear."
After Gu Yu finished speaking, Yu Yao realized that he had let the cat out of the bag.
She was not embarrassed and forced the clothes into the other person's hands, saying, "The salesperson has helped me get them, so at least try them on."
It seemed that Gu Yu was not the type to refuse anyone, so he took off his own black cotton coat and put on the coat.
"Well, you know what, it's really a good fit." Zeng Yue nodded with satisfaction. She looked at her now graceful and elegant daughter and wondered which silly boy would get her in the future.
Yu Yao also thought it was good. "It's good, but it will be cold if you wear it like this. It would be better if you had a turtleneck sweater."
"Turtleneck sweater? What kind of turtleneck sweater? I'll weigh some wool and knit one for each of you when we get back."
I didn't expect her to say that. Yu Yao felt a little embarrassed, but she wasn't knitting for me, so it was hard to refuse. So Yu Yao said, "Mom, can you teach me? I also want to learn how to knit sweaters."
"Of course, let's go buy some yarn later." Zeng Yue thought for a moment and said, "If you have never played knitting before, you may not be able to learn it in these two days. Why don't you let me help you?"
"It doesn't matter. When I go back, the ladies in the family compound will definitely know how to do it. I can just ask them for advice then."
Zeng Yue thought so too. It could also help her to build good relationships with those sisters-in-law and aunts, which was not a bad thing.
She was an impetuous person, and she dragged a few people around the department store, and Gu Qing's hands were full.
Yu Yao took care of Gu Yu all the way. Whenever she saw something nice or useful, she would ask Gu Yu what she thought of it. But later she found that no matter what it was, she would say it was nice-looking. So Yu Yao picked two for Gu Yu to choose from, and Gu Yu was forced to have some experience.
After returning home, Yu Yao divided the things he bought.
Seeing the pile of things in front of him, which was more than what his sister-in-law had, Gu Yu was a little stunned and said, "Sister-in-law, didn't you buy these yourself?"
She saw that many of them were carefully selected by her sister-in-law, and she didn't ask her mother to pay for them or buy tickets. How could she give so many to herself?
Zeng Yue was also a little surprised, but she soon understood Yu Yao's intention. No wonder she kept asking Gu Yu to try them and asking her if this one looked good or that one. It turned out that she bought them for Gu Yu from the beginning.
She didn't say it in advance, but bought it back directly and then divided it up. It can be seen that she was not just talking casually, this daughter-in-law really does things to her liking.
Yu Yao didn't dislike Gu Yu just because she was quiet, which really made Zeng Yue feel relieved. Although she had prepared herself mentally a long time ago, after all, Gu Qing was working outside and his wife would definitely go with him, and they wouldn't have much interaction with their family, but now seeing that the couple were willing to be close to their family, Zeng Yue was still very happy.
"If you like these, just keep them. They're Ayu's. I'll take her to buy them next time." Zeng Yue said.
"It's okay, Mom. I bought these for Yu. I didn't bring any gifts for Yu. We will live together for many years to come. Things are just material possessions. What matters most is that Yu likes them."
Gu Yu forced a rare smile and took out the watch from the pile of things. "I accept all these things. The watch is too expensive. Sister-in-law, take it back and wear it."
"No, this is the main gift, specially picked for you, don't be polite to your sister-in-law."
Yu Yao took out the watch and put it on Gu Yu's hand.
Gu Yu did not refuse and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Zeng Yue was even happier when she saw this. "You guys go take a rest first. When the customer comes back, we can go to the state-owned hotel for dinner."
Several people were a little tired, so they didn't refuse.
Gu Qing helped his wife move all the things back into the house, and pulled Yu Yao to sit down. He said, "Thank you, Ah Yao."
Because of Gu Yu's personality, her family actually didn't know how to get along with her. She would listen to reason with her, but after coming down from the house she would still do her own thing. In the words of outsiders, she was very difficult to get along with.
Her family only knows how to prepare everything she needs. When asked what she likes, she always says yes. She never makes requests herself, nor does she say she doesn't like something. Today is the first time I see her express so much. It turns out that this is a good way to express herself.
Yu Yao understood what Gu Qing meant and said, "Why are you thanking me? Your sister is my sister. You treat my second brother well, so of course I have to treat your sister well too."
Gu Qing kissed her on the cheek and said, "I just want to thank you."
"Is this your thank you gift? You are clearly trying to take advantage of me!"
Gu Qing smiled, "You and I are husband and wife, so it's too formal to talk about taking advantage of others."
Men, sometimes when they become shameless, they are really shameless.
They came back late, and Gu Wu came back a little later. As soon as he came back, he excitedly wanted to discuss the details of the pickles with Yu Yao. After being scolded by Zeng Yue, he agreed to go eat first and discuss it after he came back.
From the beginning, Gu Qing told Yu Yao that the family atmosphere of the Gu family was good, but Yu Yao never thought it would be so good.
It’s just a pity that grandpa still lives alone in Wanyuan County. Judging from Zeng Yue’s shopping attitude, there should be nothing going on at home, but grandpa still lives there and refuses to come back. I don’t know if it’s because he misses grandma or if there is some other hidden reason.
"What are you thinking about? Let's go."
Gu Qing pulled Yu Yao.
"No, let's go."
The family went out happily.
The state-owned hotel was not far away, so they walked there.
When they were almost at the door, Yu Yao looked back and she felt someone watching them from behind.
Gu Qing pulled her and mouthed to her, "Don't worry about it."
Yu Yao became even more confused. When Gu's parents walked to the front, he said that it turned out to be the direction of Xiao Qin's home.
Gu Qing had never thought about doing anything to the Xiao family before. After all, Xiao Qin was an adopted daughter, and her affairs had nothing to do with the Xiao family. But after listening to Yu Yao's words today, Gu Qing's thoughts changed a little.
There is an old saying that is still very true: if a child is not raised well, it is the father's fault. Since they adopted her, they must educate her well. If they cannot educate her well, then he will have to step in.
If Xiao Qin hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have imagined that the Gu family could be so kind to that country bumpkin.
Gu Qing is such a dazzling man. That idiot Lin Ling is not worthy of him. So is that country woman enough?
No!
Lin Ling at least has a family background, what can she, a country woman, rely on?
Looking at their backs as they left, Xiao Qin's eyes were like stabbing a knife into Yu Yao's body.
How could she easily get something that others had been pursuing for years but still couldn't get? What's so great about her?
"Oh, what are you doing in front of the window? It's so scary." Xiao's mother covered her chest and felt her heart was still pounding.
"Mom." Xiao Qin put away her gloomy expression and became a little timid again.
Seeing her like this, Xiao's mother's eyes flashed with displeasure, but she still spoke gently, "Mom is going to cook now, can you clean up? Your dad and brother will be off work soon, so you should be sweeter and don't quarrel with them again."
Xiao Qin nodded, "I understand. I'll go now."
"Qinqin in our family is really sensible." Xiao's mother stretched out her hand to rub Xiao Qin's head, but was suddenly pushed away by the other party, and Xiao's mother's hand stopped awkwardly in mid-air.
"Don't touch me, I'm not a child anymore."
After Xiao Qin finished speaking, she picked up the broom and started sweeping the floor, with an expression on her face as if someone owed her money.
Taking her hand back, Xiao's mother shook her head and said, "Qinqin, your parents have recently found a match for you. The other party is a soldier your father used to lead. Now he is the head of the security department of a match factory in the county. He has a stable income and looks good. If you agree, he will buy a ticket and come to see you right away. What do you think..."
"I don't agree." Before Xiao's mother could finish, Xiao Qin stood up and said coldly, "Mom, can't you tolerate me? If you don't like me, why did you adopt me in the first place?"
"What are you talking about?" Xiao's mother was also a little annoyed. "What do you mean by can't tolerate you? You are not educated at your age, and you don't have a job. If you don't get married, do you want to go to the countryside?"
Xiao Qin swept the things away, returned to the room and slammed the door.
Mother Xiao stroked her chest again, she really owed this ancestor.
She knew that Xiao Qin was still young and didn't need to rush to find a partner, but what was the point of this child staying at home? She wouldn't go out to work even when asked to do so. She had offended so many people in her family compound, and she still wanted to marry those young men. No one was blind to fall in love with her.
Even if she wanted to get married, they didn't dare let her. If she married a troublemaker, wouldn't she be troubled by him?
Even though the person introduced to him wasn't a very promising person, he was more than a good match for her. Was it because he had been too nice to her over the years, making her think that she was really a lady of noble birth?
"Xiao Qin! Who taught you to be so rude? Who taught you to slam the door?" She knocked on the door angrily, but naturally got no response.
Yu Yao and his party naturally had no idea what had happened in the Xiao family. When they had eaten and drunk their fill at the state-owned hotel and were preparing to go home, Gu Qing suddenly said that he had to go out for something.
The son has always been a man of his own ideas. He has become more stable in the past two years. His parents have not restrained him. Zeng Yue said, "What did you say to us? Ask your wife."
Gu Qing looked at Yu Yao and said, "Wife, can I go out for a while? I'll be back soon."
In front of the whole family, Yu Yao felt somewhat ashamed. She glared at him and said, "Then you should go early and come back early. Be careful."
"Yes!" He suddenly acted funny, making the whole family laugh.
After everyone left, Zeng Yue said, "Gu Qing is becoming more and more childish. Ah Yao, you should not get too used to him."
Yu Yao just smiled. She understood. She understood everything. A man remains a boy until he dies.
"Okay, okay, stop wasting time and let's go back quickly. I still have some serious business to discuss with A Yao." Gu Wu urged.
Zeng Yue glanced at her men, and it was true that... each one was more troublesome than the other.
Gu Wu discussed it with several colleagues, and they all agreed that they could ask Yu Yao to help recommend pickled vegetables, including but not limited to supply and marketing cooperatives, department stores, railway bureaus, and various state-owned factories.
However, they can help with the launch but do not cover the subsequent contract renewal. In other words, they can help to seize an opportunity, but if you want to have in-depth cooperation, it depends on whether their products can be sold.
Another requirement is that the factory should give the troops the most favorable price. After all, the troops’ funds are very tight. If the price is too expensive, they cannot afford it.
Finally, there is the issue of re-employment for veterans. In addition to local villagers, I hope veterans can be considered.
Gu Wu did not require that all these veterans be his own soldiers. After all, these soldiers came from all over the world and had already left their hometowns when they served in the army. It was not realistic to ask them to work far away from their hometowns.
"What I mean is that you can persuade those people in Liaojia Village to cooperate with communes in other places to open community-run factories, which can also absorb a group of veterans."
Considering the current environment, there is nothing wrong with this proposal.
But the reform and opening up will take place in a few years, and it is hard to say what these social-run factories will become by then. Yu Yao does not recommend too much investment in the early stages, but she cannot advise directly. She cannot say that she knew about the reform and opening up in advance.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Gu Wu said, "Do you have any concerns? Didn't you say that we should treat this as a business? If you have anything, just tell me directly. We can discuss any conditions."
Yu Yao pursed her lips and said, "Dad, have you ever thought about what I said before about the possibility that this situation might end?"
Gu Wu pondered for a while and said, "Yes, you are right, so we chose to solve the employment problems of more veterans. If the factory scale is larger in the future, we can help more people."
"That's right." Yu Yao also understood what he meant, "But Dad, have you ever thought about what these factories will face if that day really comes?"
Yu Yao really didn’t understand this. She only knew that in the real history she knew, many of these social-run factories were the kind that disappeared in the tide of the times.
If that is the case, facing unemployment at that time might be even more difficult than it is now. Of course, this is also Yu Yao's own guess. At that time, there will be too many unemployed people. With so many unemployed people and the crops being abandoned, how can they survive?
"Are you worried that these factories will not be able to develop?" Gu Wu asked.
"Even if it develops, who will own the factory?" If it is no longer owned by Liaojia Village, then their previous arrangements are paving the way for others. If it belongs to Liaojia Village, how will the benefits be distributed? Yu Yao feels it is necessary to clarify these issues.
After all, the factory in Liaojiacun now belongs to the commune, so the people in Liaojiacun are just workers. If it is to be privatized in the future, there will be trouble.
Of course, these are just Yu Yao's own thoughts.
Gu Wu was somewhat surprised that Yu Yao thought so far ahead. In his opinion, even if private operation was really allowed, it would take a long time before that happened. Besides, it was the country's property now, and the country couldn't just abandon it when the time came.
Even if the government no longer wants the factory and wants to give it to a private company, the private company will have to pay for it. Whoever can afford it will buy it. The problem can always be solved, right? But who has so much money to take over a factory? If no one takes it over and the government doesn't want it, will it go bankrupt?
No! Gu Wu felt that he was almost being tricked by Yu Yao. "As long as the product is good and the benefits are good, you have to believe that it will only get better with more opportunities and challenges. After all, we don't know when that day in the future will come, so we can't look ahead and behind now."
Yu Yao thought about it and said, "I was mistaken. Then I'll do as Dad says. I'll go talk to them."
Sometimes knowing too much leads to more concerns, almost putting the cart before the horse.
The most important things in business are products and sales. If you do well in both, you will be able to develop.
At least before that day comes, the factory will be able to benefit many people.
If the day ever comes when the company goes bankrupt, there is no need to worry too much. Yu Yao is confident that she will be able to set up her own company by then. At worst, she can start a security company and then a cleaning company according to her previous idea, and directly absorb all the unemployed people into the companies. She thinks that Gu Wu and the others will definitely help her when the time comes.
You can't be killed by holding your urine while you're alive.
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. Thank you for your hard work." Gu Wu stood up and wanted to shake hands with Yu Yao.
Yu Yao couldn't help but smile, "Dad, you don't have to be so polite."
"Hahaha, after this is done, Dad will give you a big gift."
Although it was just a picture of a cake, Yu Yao was still very happy and said with a smile: "Then I would like to thank Dad for the gift first."
"Well done, go ahead. Your mother is waiting for you to knit."
Yu Yao laughed and stood up to say goodbye.
When she went out, Zeng Yue and the others had already started fighting.
Zeng Yue was teaching Gu Yu, her tone full of helplessness, "Oh, aren't you missing another needle here?"
"Ah, where, really."
"Haha, Gu Yu, everyone says you are smart, but I finally caught you being stupid. You are so stupid, how could I beat you like this?" Zeng Yuesi did not give her daughter any face at all.
Yu Yao went forward to take a look, "What is Ayu doing? It looks pretty good. She is much better than me. I can't do anything at all."
"Come, come, come, come together. I don't believe it today. I have to teach you two a lesson."
Then Zeng Yue experienced the setback of her knitting career. She had just taught Gu Yu a lesson when Yu Yao made a mistake. When she corrected Yu Yao's mistake, Gu Yu's had to be dismantled again.
When Gu Qing came back, he saw the three women in the house busy in the living room.
"Mom, Yao, Yu, you are helping me knit a sweater."
Zeng Yue sneered, "If you rely on these two girls, you may not have any sweaters to wear this winter."
Gu Qing took the small piece of paper that his wife had made and looked at it. He couldn't help laughing when he saw the small hole on it. Then, after meeting his wife's murderous gaze, he said, "It takes skill to make a hole in it. My wife is really capable."
After saying this, everyone laughed.
In the end, Zeng Yue gave up first. "Forget it, forget it. You guys should take a break. Leave the knitting to me. Just do your own things."
Yu Yao originally wanted to help, but ended up making things worse. Feeling very embarrassed, he went back to the house at Zeng Yue's urging.
"If I had known I would not have let Mom buy so much wool. It would have hurt her eyes."
Gu Qing said: "Don't worry, my mother knows her limits."
Yu Yao was thinking about how to make it up to her elders, but she couldn't come up with an idea. When she saw Gu Qing taking off his clothes and getting ready to take a shower, she asked, "What did you do just now?"
"He's doing something bad."
"Hmm?" Yu Yao raised her eyebrows, "Can you still do bad things?"
"Let's take a shower together, I'll tell you!" He was hit by a pillow right after he said that.
Gu Qing went to take a bath happily, and his angry and frustrated daughter-in-law became even more adorable.
Then, Gu Qing was rejected by his wife, who wouldn't let him go to bed. After much persuasion, he finally got the qualification to sleep with his wife's arms around him, and he quickly confessed what he had just done.
It turned out that Gu Qing had gone to look for an old friend of his and asked him to do him a small favor.
"So you want to drive Xiao Qin away?"
Gu Qing hummed, "I ignored her before, I thought she wouldn't dare to provoke me and Ayu, but I didn't expect her to let Lin Ling provoke you. You can only blame me for being rude."
"Will this affect the relationship between our family and the Xiao family? After all, this matter has nothing to do with the Xiao couple."
"No, what kind of relationship can there be between our two families? The Xiao family is not a very clean family. It's just that Mr. Xiao was an old hero who fought in the battlefield. But so what? He can't just cover up the mistakes of his children and grandchildren. Not to mention that the old man is gone now, even if the old man was still alive..." Gu Qing thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid he would do it himself."
Yu Yao nodded: "You know what's going on." Don't just take revenge on the Xiao family because you don't like Xiao Qin. "But what does Xiao Qin want? It can't be that she likes you, right?"
"No, I can't bear it." Gu Qing said with disdain, "Wife, can you please stop talking about other people in my arms?"
Yu Yao wanted to hit him every night, "Then don't hug me."
"I don't!"
"Go away! I have something to say..."
After finally escaping from the clutches of the tiger, Yu Yao said, "I want to buy a yard in Beijing City. Do you think it's okay?"
Yu Yao has saved a lot of money recently while Gu Qing was on a mission, and with the money she earned from her previous meritorious service, she still has a lot of money. She originally planned to buy a house in Shanghai, but the time was too tight and she was not familiar with the place, and it would not be good to trouble Su Ye. In addition, houses in Beijing are also valuable and worth investing.
"Why do you suddenly think of buying a house? We have several residences in Beijing, so we are not short of houses."
Listen, is this human language?
"How can you complain about having too many houses?" Yu Yao said.
Gu Qing curled his lips, "You're right, if you want to buy it, just buy it, but let me go with you." As he said that, he turned over and got up, rummaged around in his clothes and actually took out two passbooks.
"What's this for? Handing in wages?" Yu Yao opened it and took a look. There was 10,000 yuan in the first passbook. She raised her eyebrows, thinking that her man had quite a lot of money in his personal savings. But when she looked at the second one, she was stunned. "You...didn't do anything bad, did you?"
There was actually 80,000 yuan in it. In these days, 80,000 yuan was enough to buy two houses and allow them to live out their lives in peace.
Gu Qing scratched her nose and said, "What are you thinking about?"
"These are rewards for completing tasks, and you will have some in the future. In addition, there are some incomes during the missions." He emphasized, "It is legal income by default."
Yu Yao immediately grasped the key point, "Default?" Does this mean that legal is a bit illegal?
"Our team is more dangerous, so the funding we receive is generally higher. And if we can earn money by pretending to be a businessman, we can keep it for personal use. Of course, we have to report it, and it must be based on completing the mission. For example, this time we cooperated with the black market people to find Shao Liyang and earned nearly 10,000 yuan."
"How much?" Yu Yao couldn't believe it. He wanted to know how to earn 10,000 yuan in just a few months. This person must have a golden finger, right?
Gu Qing liked to see Yu Yao like this. He couldn't help but kiss her again, and then said, "We just received a lot of goods. When I met you, I had just received a big order. The other party brought a lot of game. We made about two thousand. t"
Yu Yao was shocked, she felt that the big bill was referring to her, damn, she only got a few hundred dollars!
As expected, there is no business without fraud!
"But I didn't get all of this just for myself. We all shared it. I haven't even figured out who brought the game here yet."
Yu Yao asked, "Did they trade in the woods?"
Gu Qing: “?” His eyes widened immediately, “It’s you?”
The reason why he always wanted to know who this person was was because there were too many game meats, and they were all very fresh, so Gu Qing was very curious about who could get so many good things in the middle of winter. More importantly, his people had not yet caught up with the person.
Thinking of this, Gu Qing frowned instantly, "How did you get so many? Do you go up the mountain often?"
Yu Yao coaxed, "Not often. I was a little uncomfortable at first when you were not around, and I needed to practice my skills. Actually, I came here mainly to collect herbs."
Gu Qing didn't believe what this girl said.
"Wife, look at how much money we have. We really don't need to make any more money. Next time, try to go up the mountain less often." Although his wife is really strong, even if there is no danger, it is tiring. "Also, if it is not necessary, it is not in accordance with the rules for you to do this, unless we are hiding our identities or need to complete the mission quickly. For example, I need to use the black market information network to find people this time."
Gu Qing didn't say that their people were still following Yu Yao, and if they hadn't lost her, they would have most likely attacked her.
In the past, Yu Yao did not realize the interests involved. Now that he thinks about it, his behavior is indeed inappropriate. He cannot do whatever he wants just because he has left Xichuan.
"I understand. I won't do that again next time."
Seeing that she agreed seriously, Gu Qing handed her the second passbook and said, "This passbook contains the money you used to buy the house in Wanyuan County. I didn't expect you would be able to buy it even though I had raised the price to 10,000."
Most people would not be willing to spend 10,000 yuan to buy a yard in a small county, but his wife bought it without even asking around. If he hadn't seen that his wife was so good at spending money, he might not have saved 80,000 yuan so quickly.
"So you planned this all along! I was wondering why you kept the house so well-maintained. You are such a scheming man!"
"What did you say?" What a scheming man.
Yu Yao quickly shook his head, "I said Brother Qing, you are so good to me."
Gu Qing smiled and said, "Then you should promise Qing Ge to go up the mountain less often."
"Okay, Brother Qing, I'll go fishing in the river next time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Yao was turned over and pressed under Gu Qing, "Are you trying to piss me off on purpose?"
Brother Qing was very angry and the consequences were serious.
So the next day, Yu Yao successfully got up late. Fortunately, they were the only two people at home with nothing to do, and no one guessed her embarrassing behavior.
When Yu Yao woke up, Gu Qing had already bought the vegetables and even cut them, and was just waiting for Yu Yao to cook.
If it weren't for his parents' fondness for novelty and their love for Yu Yao's cooking, Gu Qing would have taken care of it all.
"Daughter-in-law."
Yu Yao snorted coldly and didn't want to pay attention to anyone.
Gu Qing was so shameless that he said nonchalantly, "I have already contacted a few houses. Brother Qing will buy a house for you later."
