Zeng's father's leg has been examined at Tongjitang. The doctor there said that it would be a miracle if Zeng's father's leg could be healed.
Zeng's mother was even more grateful to Su Shuoci and his wife, but Gu Jiaojiao didn't have time to listen to her praise.
She checked her father's leg and found that the medicine used by Tongjitang was not bad and was better than she had imagined.
Su Shuoci gave the rice, flour, and soap to Monkey, and took Gu Jiaojiao to the black market to buy medicinal herbs.
They met a man selling ginseng. Gu Jiaojiao saw that it was wild ginseng, some of which were a hundred years old, and some were at least twenty years old.
She asked the price calmly. When the other party saw Su Shuoci sitting in a wheelchair, they thought they bought it for themselves.
The ginseng seller collected it from a remote mountain village. He only spent two hundred yuan on a hundred-year-old ginseng.
"I'll sell you this older one for a thousand, and the others for a hundred. If it were someone else, I'd have to sell them for at least two thousand."
"Brother, you're a conscientious merchant. Next time you find something good, look for the monkey. My son is not in good health..."
Gu Jiaojiao talked a lot of nice things, and the merchant was so happy that he didn't know what to do and agreed without hesitation.
He had mingled with many people in the black market, but they only gave him the cold shoulder and he had never been respected by anyone.
He sold the worthless herbs on hand to Gu Jiaojiao at the original price without adding any extra money.
He earned a whole thousand yuan from just a few ginsengs, and he sold them as soon as he could.
The two parties had a pleasant transaction. Although Gu Jiaojiao got the precious wild ginseng, she was penniless.
I could only ask the ginseng seller if he wanted rice. The ginseng seller was very happy to hear such a good thing.
He was also from the compound and went to the northwest as an educated youth at the age of seventeen because of his unique vision.
Every time I go home to visit my family, I buy mountain products from the countryside and sell them in the city, and then buy grain from the city and sell it in the countryside.
Even as an educated youth, he lived an extremely comfortable life. The mountainous area was remote and poor, and the outside world had nothing to do with the mountains.
He was a cultured scholar, respected by everyone in the mountains. He could eat meat every day and never went hungry.
I made a lot of money in the first two years after returning to the city, but the market has slowly opened up recently.
With more people following the trend, it’s not as easy to make money as before.
He and Gu Jiaojiao bought 1,000 kilograms of rice and 800 kilograms of flour. This flour was not the Fuqiangfu flour they usually bought, but one produced by the Overseas Chinese Store.
There is no need to go to the countryside to sell these things. They can be sold at a high price in this city. "If you have any, you can sell them to me."
"Yeah." Gu Jiaojiao nodded like a chick pecking at rice, because the price she offered was one cent per pound more than the monkey.
One thousand kilograms of rice cost an extra hundred yuan, and both parties had another pleasant transaction.
"My name is Song Zijie, and I live in..." Song Zijie is also a very talkative person.
From his detailed self-introduction, Gu Jiaojiao learned that he was the son of the second son of the Song family.
He is Song Zijin's cousin, 25 years old this year, the same age as Su Shuoci and seven years older than Gu Jiaojiao.
Gu Jiaojiao was only ten years old when he went to the northwest. In the two years since he came back, he has been either working or doing business on the black market all day.
It’s normal not to know Su Shuoci and Gu Jiaojiao.
Su Shuoci had a long-term vision and knew that they would meet one day in the same compound, so he introduced himself as well.
"We live in the same compound. My name is Su Shuoci, and my wife is Gu Jiaojiao..."
"You are Su Shuoci and Gu Jiaojiao?" Song Zijie was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.
Song Zijie was very familiar with the names of these two people, and his mother and sister had been talking about them with relish at the dinner table recently.
He listened to their words, and although he didn't say anything, the Su Shuoci in his mind was a decadent, moody disabled person.
Gu Jiaojiao is a troublemaker who cries all day long and is unreasonable, and the two people in front of her.
Apart from the fact that Su Shuoci is disabled and in a wheelchair, nothing else makes sense.
Even though the man was in a wheelchair, it was clear that he was tall and handsome, even better looking than the people in the movies, especially with the smile on his face.
The woman has willow-shaped eyebrows, an oval face, a playful nose and thin lips, and looks a bit like a beautiful girl from the south of the Yangtze River.
At this moment, she was looking at the man beside her with a smile as beautiful as a flower, and with a bit of girlish cuteness.
The girl's smile was pure and sweet, like the breeze in the early morning of midsummer, with a hint of intoxicating scent.
Maybe because he made money by buying their rice, Song Zijie felt that the two of them were like a couple made in heaven.
While Song Zijie was looking at Su Shuoci, Gu Jiaojiao was also looking at him. She looked a bit like Song Zijin.
She is tall, with a round face. When she smiles, she has dimples that reveal two canine teeth. Her baby face makes her look very young.
According to him, he is the same age as Su Shuoci. Even if he reported his age, Gu Jiaojiao thought he was at most the same age as Song Zijin.
Su Shuoci is domineering, while Song Zijie looks like a child. The two people of the same age have very different auras. When they stand together, they look like an uncle leading his nephew.
Gu Jiaojiao laughed even more happily, "You are so surprised, have you heard our gossip? Don't be surprised, I am a legend."
Song Zijie: ...
"Brother, how about we trade in a secluded corner of the compound from now on?"
It must be too hard for you to push the wheelchair to the black market, but Song Zijie was embarrassed to say this.
"Okay, on a dark and windy night, just come and knock on our window." Gu Jiaojiao blinked her bright eyes.
The two parties agreed on a place for the transaction, and Song Zijie did not ask where Su Shuoci got the rice from.
Gu Jiaojiao didn't ask him why he was engaging in speculation. Judging from his proficiency, it must have been more than the first or second time he had done it.
After they separated, Gu Jiaojiao bought a big, lively grass carp, two chickens, and some pork on the black market.
She didn't regret not seeing anyone selling rabbits today. If she saw one, she would buy one. If not, chicken and fish would also be good.
She happily pushed Su Shuoci back, not knowing whether their bun business was booming.
As soon as I came out of the black market alley, I heard an old lady not far away pointing at a young woman and cursing.
The old lady was not tall, had bound feet and was hunched over, but she was very powerful when she scolded people.
The one standing aside with his neck shrunk was her son. He looked well dressed, but his character was really poor. He didn't dare to say a word even when his wife was scolded.
Gu Jiaojiao knew the young woman, or to be more precise, her original body knew her. She was her classmate's sister and came from a fairly high-class family.
The old lady's abuse was to complain that her daughter-in-law had been married for several years but had not yet given birth to a child.
They came to the black market to seek medicine, and they even bought the medicine, but they don’t know if it is genuine.
Gu Jiaojiao despised that man very much. His mother scolded his wife, and he just stood there without saying a word.
If you can't have children, Gu Jiaojiao can treat it, and if that doesn't work, you can do in vitro fertilization.
But she would not rush over and meddle in other people's business. She could only look at the woman who was letting her mother-in-law scold her with sympathy.
Su Shuoci saw his wife looking back frequently, "If we're destined to meet again, we'll naturally meet again. If we go up to them like this, they might not believe you no matter what you say."
