As Zhou Liang said, he was keenly aware that something was not right in the air around him. He contacted back and forth, his back stiffened, and he immediately changed his tone: "Old Wu, this is your fault. After all, Lao Gu is your immediate boss. You are like this
It's too unethical to make fun of him. Then I'm full, you can eat slowly."
Zhou Liang said, putting away the bowls and chopsticks, and when he turned around, he saw Gu Xingdong standing not far away, looking at him with a half-smile.
"Lao Gu, you're here. I've just finished eating, so I'll leave the seat for you." Zhou Liang immediately ran away when he saw something was wrong.
Who doesn't know that Gu Xingdong, the commander of the first battalion, is a black devil. Training is life-threatening. Although there are complaints from below, his own conditions are tough enough. Anyone who doesn't accept can challenge him casually. And he does have a way of leading troops. During the training and assessment, their first battalion
The result was the most outstanding. He even won the third class collective merit.
When Gu Xingdong saw Zhou Liang walking away, he raised his legs and sat next to Wu Zheng.
"Old, Old Gu." Wu Zheng mechanically twisted his neck and showed him a smile that was little better than crying.
Gu Xingdong raised his eyebrows: "I haven't seen you for a few days and it's hard to talk to me. It seems like I'm not practicing enough."
Wu Zheng stopped laughing.
"Eat more." Gu Xingdong said and gave him a steamed bun: "I will run twenty laps on the playground in a while. If you can't finish it within the specified time, you won't have dinner."
Wu Zheng just wanted to die at this moment.
…
Time flies, and soon the day Chen Lishu and Zhou Bin agreed to deliver the goods came.
For more than half a month, because I had a sewing machine and a large number of people at home, I worked overtime and made nearly 4,000 flower heads. I also ran out of rag heads bought from the clothing factory.
Because the quantity was too large and the distance was a bit long, Gu Xingye specially asked for leave that day to accompany Chen Lishu to help her deliver the goods to the town.
When they arrived at the place, Zhou Bin was already waiting there. Seeing Chen Lishu and Gu Xingye each carrying a big bag, he knew that the quantity was indispensable. He felt very happy.
There were more than 3,700 yuan in total. Chen Lishu didn't care about the few dollars and directly asked for 370 yuan.
After working together several times, Zhou Bin was very satisfied with Chen Lishu as a partner. She was not very trustworthy and felt that she would be a long-term partner in the future.
After saying goodbye to Zhou Bin, Chen Lishu and Gu Xingye first went to buy rubber bands, and then went to Qingshan Garment Factory together.
"You're finally here." Liu Xiaoting saw the two of them from a distance and waved to them.
"The liar who claimed to be your sister-in-law came over two days ago to buy rags. I ignored him at all. She pestered me and asked me to give me more money, but I didn't agree. I'll keep all this for you."
Liu Xiaoting said, her eyes swept over Gu Xingye's tall figure intentionally or unintentionally, and her heart suddenly felt like a deer. Her cheeks couldn't help but turn red.
Chen Lishu saw that there was a big bag of rags at her feet, probably weighing sixty or seventy pounds. And when she heard that she would keep it all for herself, she smiled and said, "Thank you very much for taking care of me, Sister Liu."
"I'm only twenty-four this year, and I'm not much older than you. It's too polite to call me sister. Just call me Xiaoting."
Chen Lishu followed the good example and called her Xiaoting.
Liu Xiaoting suddenly smiled, pointed at the bag and said, "Sixty-five pounds in total."
Chen Lishu directly gave him seven yuan.
Liu Xiaoting said nothing and asked for the fifty cents, but just stuffed it back into Chen Lishu's arms: "Don't worry, I will keep these rags for you in the future."
Chen Lishu thanked her again, and then she and Gu Xingye took the bag and went home.
"Mom, sister-in-law, and sister-in-law, this is the money you earned from having your hair done during this period. I didn't pay for it the last few times, so I thought about saving it together and giving it away once."
After dinner, Chen Lishu went back to her room and took out the account book and money. She started to distribute the money to everyone.
Since she collaborated with Zhou Bin, a total of nearly 7,000 head flowers have been made. Although sewing machines were later developed, the share is still the original three cents.
Li Xiulan received thirty-one yuan, Gu Xingping received thirty-three yuan, and Zhang Qin received relatively more, thirty-eight yuan.
In just over a month, each of them earned more than 30 yuan. Not to mention the three women, the men in the family were also shocked.
"It seems that I have to work harder and weave more baskets at night to sell at the purchasing station. Otherwise, I am afraid that people will say that I rely on my wife to support me." Gu Xingguo said to Zhang Qin jokingly.
Zhang Qin blushed: "What's wrong with raising a daughter-in-law? I can make money now. There will be a big fair in the village in two days. I will make new clothes for you four by ripping cloth."
"Oh, okay, I need new clothes to wear." Gu Hong is a three-year-old girl with two braids tied up with a red headband. She is wearing a floral blouse that Chen Lishu made for her out of rags. I heard that there is
Wearing new clothes, her big eyes narrowed into crescent shapes, and her grin revealed a row of small white teeth like rice grains.
Everyone looked at her cute appearance and couldn't help but smile fondly.
Only the couple Gu Xingmin and Liu Yuemin on the side were jealous and angry when they saw how much money was divided among them. However, the path they had chosen back then would not be so easy to open their mouths now.
After dividing the money, Chen Lishu took the money and went back to her parents' house.
Wu Chunmei was breastfeeding Chen Lizi and was startled when she saw her come in.
"Why are you back now?"
Chen Liyuan and Chen Lifei were lying on the table studying, and now they looked up.
Chen Lishu smiled: "It's nothing. I sold my hair today, so I happened to come over to pay for it for my mother."
Wu Chunmei breathed a sigh of relief: "I was shocked. Not long after I left, you and your husband's family got into trouble."
"How is that possible?" Chen Lishu smiled and took out the fifty yuan and handed it to Wu Chunmei.
"Why so many?"
"The first few payments will be counted together. The same will apply in the future, once a month."
After Wu Chunmei collected the money, she suddenly remembered something and asked, "Have you received any letters since Xingdong left? You two live in separate places just to communicate more about your feelings. Don't be busy making money all day long, or
Please write more letters to get in touch.”
Wu Chunmei has been busy making hair flowers for the past half month, and Wu Chunmei actually forgot about writing a letter. She thought that someone specifically asked her to write a letter before she left. Chen Lishu nodded in agreement.
"I know, Mom. I'll write it when I get back."
Chen Lishu chatted with Wu Chunmei for a while, and then asked: "Where is my dad?"
Wu Chunmei's eyes visibly hid.
"Dad has gone to my uncle's house." Chen Liyuan raised her head, with a hint of anger and helplessness in her tone.
"What are you doing at uncle's house?"
"The conditions at home are getting better. Your dad and I thought that rabbits and pheasants are all caught in the mountains anyway. Your milk is there after all, so I sent two over."
Wu Chunmei took over the words.
"There are two. After giving it away once, Nai Nai and the uncle got into trouble with Dad. Now every time Dad comes back with something, he has to give it to the other end first. Obviously, the family is reluctant to eat it. Why can't they eat it if they want to?
