Chapter 111 Winter is here, spring is probably not far away



The woman's voice was still very loud.

Wu Shangzheng's face turned red. He looked up and around, and finally saw Yu Sui waiting by the side pushing a cart.

Wu Shangzheng quickly pulled his mother away and said, "Mom, alright, alright. I promise, I won't let her ride the bike. Let's not talk about it anymore, okay?"

When Yu Sui passed by them pushing her bicycle, she heard Wu Yiyi say in a hoarse voice:

"Why didn't you say anything? You're such a spineless person! I'm telling you, this kind of woman needs to be treated with care and strictness, only then will she be afraid of you. You can't just pamper her. Remember my words, if I find out you lent her your bike, I'll definitely take her to her elementary school and scold her. I'll make sure she doesn't even finish elementary school and stays home to bear your children!"

Yu Sui listened to these words and curled the corners of her mouth in amusement.

That’s right, Yu Qiu deserves to meet such a mother-in-law.

That's great. I walk to work for an hour and a half every day. When the weather gets colder, I'll be more interested in exercising.

If I find out that it was really Yu Qiu who reported Xia Linsheng, I will make your life more exciting.

Wait!

Yu Sui pushed her bicycle out of the department store happily and easily.

The sky was a bit gloomy and the temperature was relatively low.

Yu Sui looked up at the sky, wondering whether it would be better to spend more than two hours riding the bicycle back home in this weather, or to carry the bicycle on the bus back.

Someone walked up to her and called out softly, "Comrade, are you Yu Sui?"

Yu Sui looked down and saw a very thin old man with a pale face but clear eyes. He was holding a big broom in his hand.

She remembered this person.

Isn’t this the last time she and Xia Linsheng came to the county town and rescued the demoted worker Gu Kangqi in the noodle shop?

For him, Xia Linsheng was jealous, and for him, she postponed buying a bicycle.

Yu Sui raised her eyebrows: "Yes, I am Yu Sui. You are Mr. Gu, right?"

Gu Kangqie smiled and seemed a little more animated. "Ah, I finally see you again, Comrade Yu Sui. You can just call me Old Gu."

Yu Sui: "It's okay. You are all intellectuals. It's only right for me to call you Mr. Gu. How are you doing recently?"

Gu Kangbi smiled and nodded: "It's okay, no matter what, I'm still alive. It's just that..."

He paused, then began to untie his old, thin Zhongshan suit. He took out a few old banknotes from a pocket he had sewn inside and handed them to Yu Sui:

"I'm just sorry, I really can't save up enough money to take the bus to your brigade. I'll pay you back a little bit, and I'll save it up for now. It's so great to meet you again. Here's two yuan, take it first, and I'll pay you back the rest, I definitely will."

Yu Sui looked at the old banknotes.

Almost every bill was worth ten cents or two dollars, and there were a whole stack of them.

Yu Sui sighed inwardly.

Some people have exhausted all their strength just to be alive, but they still try to maintain their dignity.

When she looked up at Gu Kangge again, Yu Sui just smiled faintly:

"I know you'll pay it back. After all, you're a man of integrity and culture. There's no way you wouldn't pay me back. I'm not in a hurry. Look, Mr. Gu, this is a new bicycle I just bought at the department store. What does that mean? It means I'm financially well off, right? So you can save these two dollars and pay me back later. It's cold, so it's important to eat well and dress warmly. But don't get sick or die again, or there'll be no one to pay me back. I'll cry!"

Gu Kangqie raised his hands awkwardly, his smile fading. "This...if you don't take it, I'll feel uneasy...I don't know when I'll have to return it, so any little bit is better. Why don't you just take it for now?"

well!

Some people are like this, they feel uncomfortable after borrowing money from others.

Yu Sui had no choice but to answer:

"Okay, I'll take it first. You can give me 98 yuan plus interest. It's just that it's so cold today, and I haven't had breakfast yet. Mr. Gu is always walking around the county town. Is there anything good you can recommend for me to eat?"

Gu Kangxi smiled so hard that his eyes disappeared. "That's right! Speaking of breakfast, the noodle shop you saved me from last time is the best. The people there are quite nice, but the ingredients are all fresh. I sweep the floor there, and I watch them prepare everything every day. They make buns and everything else very cleanly. It's pretty good."

"Okay, I'll go get some noodles. I just have a problem. I just bought a new car and haven't bought a lock yet, nor have I registered it with the vehicle management office. If I park it anywhere, I'm worried it might be stolen. Could you please take a look at it for me?"

"It's no trouble, no trouble. Just stop and I'll keep an eye on it for you."

Gu Kang's eyes lit up when he was able to help Yu Sui. He hurriedly helped Yu Sui take the bicycle and parked it nearby. He then sat down on the curb next to the bicycle with a broom in his arms.

This is really strictly monitored.

Yu Sui didn't say any more polite words, just walked away and went to the noodle shop to eat a bowl of noodles.

But before she left, she bought ten buns and put them in a paper bag.

Back to the original place, the old man was still sitting there in the cold wind, and the wind made his white hair on the temples move slightly.

He saw Yu Sui coming over, and Wen Nuan stood up with a smile: "You're done eating, isn't it good?"

"It's really good." Yu Sui pushed the car out first, then stuffed the paper bag in her hand into Gu Kang's arms: "Mr. Gu, you helped me a lot. If you hadn't helped me look after the car, I would have to go back to the countryside hungry. This is to thank you. I'm leaving now. Remember to save money for me!"

After saying that, she got on her bike and left.

Behind him was Gu Kang's voice shouting: "Hey, hey, hey, why did you give me so much... Hey! Comrade Yu, thank you, I will definitely pay you back, I will remember your kindness!"

Yu Sui didn't look back, but just raised her hand and waved.

Winter is here, and spring is probably not far away.

I hope that everyone who has experienced the cold winter can look forward to spring.

Yu Sui first went to the vehicle management lock shop to stamp the new car.

In this way, the car is registered, and if someone steals it, they can still get it back one day through the steel stamp.

Then she decided to ride her bike home.

It will be tiring and take quite a while, but you won't be crowded with many people, and you can also check out other communes' supply and marketing cooperatives selling their factory's cakes along the way.

Just treat it as research.

Along the way, you have to pass through four or five communes!

The effort was well spent. After learning more about the products, I found that they are all very popular. However, the peanut candies are generally considered to be too expensive. Even if many people want to buy more as a happy occasion, they cannot afford it.

After all, it was still an era when everyone was poor, so Yu Sui decided to go back and discuss with Zhang Caifeng to make the peanut candy smaller and lower the price. In addition, they could make a kind of rice dumpling candy that could be weighed and sold retail. This would lower the cost and price, and expand the market.

By the time Yu Sui arrived at Qingxi Commune, it was almost noon.

She went to the post office to pick up the package sent by Xia Linsheng.

The package is quite big and feels soft.

This makes people eager to open it and take a look.
