After finishing the business, Chu Tian asked the question that had troubled him for a long time, "Brother Li Gang, I want to ask you something. Can you answer me truthfully?"
Li Gang raised his chin and said, "Brother Chu, ask!"
Li Gang thought that Chu Tian must be asking him about the black market. If he really asked, it would not be impossible for him to tell him a little.
Chu Tian chuckled, "Since my third or fourth delivery, I haven't used pockmarks on my face to disguise myself. How come you're not surprised at all? And you recognized me at first sight?"
Li Gang was racking his brains to think about how to explain their black market industry to Chu Tian. When he heard the question Chu Tian asked, he was stunned and burst into laughter for a while.
"Hahaha, Brother Chu, you are so funny..."
Seeing Li Gang's performance, Chu Tian and Sun Weiguo were confused.
Li Gang laughed until he was done explaining, "That disguise of yours? It's better not to disguise yourself! You wear the same clothes every time, and the pockmarks on your face are in different places every time. You can tell it's fake at a glance..."
"The disguise skills of any of my subordinates are much better than yours!"
Chu Tian, "..."
Li Gang took a sip of water and continued, "Actually, whether you're buying or selling on the black market, you'll need to disguise yourself a bit. This is perfectly normal. It's just that Brother Chu, your disguise has too many flaws, and people can recognize you at a glance!"
"If you want to learn disguise in the future, you can come here and let Xu Fei disguise you. I can't even recognize the disguises that kid always put on me!"
“····”
Chu Tian was devastated. He had thought his disguise was pretty good at the time! What happened?
Coming out of Li Gang's house, Sun Weiguo curiously asked, "Brother Tian, what is a banana?"
Chu Tian blinked and explained, "It's a kind of fruit from the south. When it's ripe, it's soft, fragrant and sweet. It's very suitable for children and the elderly. When the bananas are delivered tomorrow, I'll give you some. You can take them home to your parents to eat."
Sun Weiguo hurriedly shook his head, "I'll buy it with money."
Chu Tian was happy, "No need, a few bananas won't bankrupt me."
Sun Weiguo said with a stern face, "No, it's what it is. You always say that brothers should settle accounts clearly. It's better to settle them clearly. I still want to make money with you, so I can't take advantage of you!"
"I'm already very grateful that you treat me to a meal occasionally. I can't ask you to give it to me when I want to eat something exotic! What kind of person would I be then?"
Chu Tian was stunned for a moment, looking at the serious Sun Weiguo, still a little dazed. After a while, looking at the unhappy Sun Weiguo, Chu Tian couldn't help laughing.
Looking at Chu Tian with a smile on his face, Sun Weiguo tightened the reins in anger, and the carriage stopped instantly. He turned sideways and sat face to face with Chu Tian, saying seriously, "Brother Tian, I'm not joking with you, nor am I pretending to be polite, but I really mean it! You can get good things, and after I get married and have children, I will definitely need more and more. I can't ask you to send them all the time. If you send them at the beginning and I develop a habit of it, and then you suddenly stop sending them later, will I feel resentful towards you then?"
"Will our relationship be ruined by then? I don't want that. I want to be with Brother Tian forever. My ideals aren't lofty. I just want Brother Tian to eat some meat and I'll be satisfied with some soup!"
"So, you should just listen to me and sell it to me instead of giving it to me!"
Seeing that Sun Weiguo was so serious for the first time, Chu Tian also restrained his expression and nodded solemnly, "Okay, I understand. I will definitely not let you develop the habit of accepting gifts for nothing!"
He changed his tone and said seriously, "However, I will still give you the benefits you deserve during the holidays. Don't use these words to stop me when the time comes. After all, I am a good boss!"
"Um."
Sun Weiguo's mouth curled up when he heard this, and he nodded happily.
Chu Tian smiled and patted his shoulder, "Can we go now? Your sister-in-law and the others must be getting anxious waiting for you."
"You bought a lot?"
Chu Tian looked at Yao Xiuli and Yao Youjun, both of whom were carrying things in their hands, and couldn't help but be surprised, because according to his understanding, Yao Xiujuan was not a person who spent money lavishly. It was really beyond his expectation that she could buy so many things today.
Yao Xiujuan also felt that she had spent too much, and she embarrassedly explained, "There are many things missing at home. We don't have a salt shaker, soy sauce, or vinegar anymore. The bowls at home are not very good anymore. We don't have ceramic basins, and we don't have any soap. There is not much soap left, and..."
Chu Tian interrupted hurriedly, "Stop, stop, stop. Why are all the things you bought for home? Didn't you buy anything for yourself and Wu Ya?"
Yao Xiujuan pointed to another small red flower-like hairpin on Wu Ya's head and said, "Yes, this is the one Wu Ya likes!"
"But it's really not cheap. Just a small hairpin costs fifty cents! And they say it's from Hai City. No matter how I look at it, I don't think it's worth it..."
Chu Tian held his forehead helplessly, thinking that she was still the same Yao Xiujuan as before, unwilling to spend a penny on him!
He looked at Yao Xiuli and Yao Youjun, "What about you two? Have you found anything you like? Don't worry, tell your brother-in-law. Your sister is too stingy to buy it for you, so I'll buy it for you!"
Yao Xiuli and Yao Youjun were already frightened by their eldest sister's lavish purchases (yes, while Chu Tian thought it was stingy, the two siblings did not think so!), and when they heard what their eldest brother-in-law said, they shook their heads in tacit understanding and said in unison.
"No, no, we don't need it!"
“·····”
He clearly had good intentions in buying things for them, but seeing the two siblings' expressions that said, "Don't force me to commit a crime," Chu Tian fell silent.
Sun Weiguo was so happy to see this, but when he saw Chu Tian looking at him coldly, he quickly restrained his smile and leaned close to Chu Tian and whispered, "Brother Tian, I think my brothers and sisters are quite shy. If you take the initiative to ask them for something, they will definitely not want it. Why don't you wait for a chance in the future and buy it for them directly?"
Chu Tian listened to what Sun Weiguo said and thought it made sense, so he gestured to the two of them, "Okay, get on the carriage, we're going back now."
Arriving at the entrance of the brigade, Chu Tian got off the carriage and looked at Sun Weiguo, who was driving the carriage. "You send your sister-in-law and the others back first. I will go to the captain to ask for the key to the dugout."
"Brother Tian, let's go."
Sun Weiguo knew what Chu Tian wanted the key to the dugout for. When they were walking on the road, he said that Xiuli was already a grown-up girl, and Chu Tian was her elder brother-in-law, also an adult man. It would be bad for her reputation if a man and a woman slept in the same room, even if it was not a kang. The most important thing was that Xiuli would not stay there for one or two days, but at least three or four months...
