Chen Lishu glanced at the traces that had been outlined again, guessing that Jiang Weiguo had done this a lot.
"Manager Jiang, look at how much I have taken. Besides, after this cooperation, we will definitely have more cooperation opportunities. Just give me an unplanned one. If the price goes up, I will go all the way.
It’s just such a small amount of hard-earned money.”
Jiang Weiguo couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard what she said. She actually knew what was planned and what was not planned, but she was indeed the more generous of the people he cooperated with in getting the goods. If they could really cooperate for a long time, in order to avoid unnecessary problems in the future.
If there is any trouble, he can get rid of all those retail investors.
After thinking about this, Jiang Weiguo hesitated and nodded in agreement, but still emphasized: "I have already taken a big risk to take care of you."
Chen Lishu knew that he just wanted to remember him well, so she followed his wishes and said more words of gratitude.
Soon she chose the clothes she wanted to buy. She didn't want the clothes that were of particularly good quality and high price. Because the market was positioned in the county town, she only chose the mid-range and lower-middle-priced ones. According to the money in hand, Chen Lishu chose a total of
One hundred and thirty-seven pieces of clothing.
After going to the warehouse with Jiang Weiguo to select clothes and watching people pack them, Chen Lishu took her passbook to the bank and took out the money. Both parties paid the money and delivered the goods. The transaction was happily completed.
After exchanging a few polite words, Chen Lishu laboriously carried two large bags of clothes out of the back door of Yimin Store.
It was almost noon, and the weather was hot. Chen Lishu's eyes were soaked with sweat after not walking for a while, and the clothes on her back were also soaked.
There were no taxis at the moment, not even a rickshaw. Chen Lishu's energy was quickly exhausted. She had no choice but to stop on the side of the road and wipe her sweat while looking around.
Soon, a middle-aged man in his forties came over. He looked like an ordinary citizen. Chen Lishu stopped him and said, "Brother, could you please tell me how to get to the post office nearby?"
The man stopped and kindly pointed the way to her: "Follow this road, go two blocks, turn right, and walk two or three hundred meters and you'll be there."
Seeing the person lifting his legs to leave, Chen Lishu showed an embarrassed smile: "Brother, I want to mail something to my hometown, but it's too heavy. I'll give you a dollar, can you help me send it to the post office?"
The man's eyes fell on the two large woven bags at her feet. Although they looked heavy, she was willing to pay one dollar and nodded in agreement after thinking that the journey was not far.
Chen Lishu was very happy to see that he agreed. The two of them went all the way to the post office. After Chen Lishu paid him the money, she communicated with the post office staff and found out that the arrival time would be about four or five days. She wrote down the address in the village and then paid the postage.
After leaving the post office, she saw popsicles sold on the roadside for five cents each, so Chen Lishu bought one directly.
When the cool and sweet popsicle entered her mouth, Chen Lishu couldn't help sighing in comfort, and she found a shady place to eat the popsicle before she got on the car back to the camp.
Because she missed the two packages of clothes sent by registered mail, Chen Lishu decided to leave the next day.
In the evening, when Gu Xingdong heard that she wanted to go back, he didn't say much. At night, his movements were more enthusiastic than before. Chen Lishu could see the deep reluctance in his movements and eyes.
"I'll come see you after the military building is built." She felt a little uncomfortable about the time of separation.
"Yeah." Gu Xingdong unconsciously tightened his arms around her, burying his face in the crook of her neck, his voice sounding muffled.
Although the two of them have only been together for a few days, it feels as if they have been together for a long time.
Even though she was still reluctant to say goodbye, the separation came the next day, and Gu Xingdong personally drove her to the train station.
"Be safe on the road and give me a call when you get home."
"Yes." Chen Lishu nodded heavily, waved goodbye to Gu Xingdong, and the train started to move slowly.
It was another long night of suffering, and Chen Lishu didn't arrive in town until nearly noon the next day.
She was not in a hurry to go home. The first thing she did after getting off the car was to call Gu Xingdong to report that she was safe.
He probably knew that she should arrive at about this time, so Gu Xingdong stayed by the phone, and the other end picked up the call as soon as he thought about it.
After reporting safety, Chen Lishu went to the Materials Bureau again.
Her home is really far away from the town, and she often has to run back and forth to pick up so many things. It is too conspicuous, tiring and wastes time, so Chen Lishu wants to rent a house in the town, preferably a detached house, so she does
Nothing easily attracts others' attention.
Zhou Bin was a local, so Chen Lishu wanted to ask him to help her keep an eye on whether there were any houses for rent.
Before going to the Materials Bureau, Chen Lishu went to the grocery store to buy some pastries and camellia noodles for Gu Xingye, thinking that it would be enough to cushion his stomach in case he was hungry. However, the weather was hot and things would not last long, so she only bought one of each.
catty.
When we arrived at the Materials Bureau, we were lucky enough to find both of them there.
"Sister-in-law, you can come as soon as you come. Why do you want to buy things? I have good food and accommodation here. Brother Zhou and everyone take good care of me."
It's been a while since I've seen Gu Xingye. He's darker and looks sturdier, and you can tell from his eyes that he's a lot more confident.
"You can share it with your colleagues if you can't finish it. It's hot and it takes a lot of effort to unload the goods. Remember to drink more water to avoid heat stroke. Here are twenty yuan and a pound of food stamps for you to take. You can buy some if you want to eat.
, don’t be reluctant to spend money.”
As she spoke, Chen Lishu stuffed him with another twenty yuan and a few food stamps.
"My mother had already given me money when I came here. I will pay my salary after a while." Gu Xingye was very embarrassed to take money from his sister-in-law for such an old man.
"Let's talk about paying wages. Just take it if it's given to you right now. Don't you feel anxious if you have money in your hand?" Chen Lishu offered her sister-in-law's advice, and Gu Xingye scratched his head and had to accept it.
After talking to Gu Xingye, Chen Lishu smiled apologetically at Zhou Bin: "I am looking for Brother Zhou this time to ask you to help me pay attention to whether there is anyone renting out a house in the town, preferably a detached house."
Who knew that when they heard that she wanted to rent a house, Gu Xingye and Zhou Bin asked in unison: "Sister-in-law, why are you renting a house?" "You want to move to the town?"
Chen Lishu smiled and replied: "It's not that I want to move here, I just think the distance is too far and it's inconvenient to travel back and forth. I usually store some things and maybe live there occasionally."
Zhou Bin understood, looked at her and smiled: "Are you planning to do this seriously?"
Chen Lishu nodded, thinking of her 'fake collar' business, and said to Zhou Bin: "I tried selling it some time ago and the results were good. Do you want to do it? We have been cooperating for such a long time. I sell it to others for three and a half dollars, and you want to get it?"
