Gu Siwei walked into the store again.

Hu Yanqiu also happened to walk out of the counter and was about to go to the toilet. When she saw Gu Siwei, she smiled and asked, "Why are you back again? What else do you want to buy?"

"I forgot to buy some cloth," Gu Siwei replied.

Hu Yanqiu asked: "What kind of cloth should I buy?"

"It's cheaper, and I don't have much money. I'm going to make some clothes," Gu Siwei said.

Gu Siwei now has a better understanding of the current prices, and he also knows that the two yuan or so in meal tickets he has can't buy a few feet of cloth.

"How much money do you have?" Hu Yanqiu asked.

"A meal ticket worth more than two yuan." Gu Siwei smiled and took out the meal ticket from his pocket.

Hu Yanqiu said: "How much cloth can we buy? And we can't buy good cloth. Are you going to wear it yourself or are you going to give it to others?"

"Wear it yourself," Gu Siwei said.

Hearing Gu Siwei say he was wearing it, Hu Yanqiu thought for a moment and said: "Wait a minute, I'll wash my hands first, and I'll take you to ask later."

Gu Siwei nodded, and Hu Yanqiu led Xiao Xiao away.

After waiting for almost three or four minutes, Hu Yanqiu came back and waved to Gu Siwei, who then followed Hu Yanqiu out of the store through a small side door.

Behind the store is a small courtyard. There are several rows of bungalows on the west side of the small courtyard. On the wall, it is written that this is a warehouse area and fireworks are strictly prohibited.

No need to ask, this is the store's warehouse.

Following Hu Yanqiu to the entrance of a warehouse, he heard Hu Yanqiu shouting to the warehouse: "Fourth Aunt!"

After shouting several times, I heard a woman's voice inside: "Here you come, what are you shouting about? Why are you here if you don't go to work well?"

Waiting to meet the person, Gu Siwei discovered that this woman had a very good temperament. It was obvious at first glance that she was an educated person. No matter when she walked or spoke, she had the air of a lady.

"This is?"

"My friend I just met, my fourth aunt, do you still have those damp cloths from last time?" Hu Yanqiu asked.

"Maybe there, why are you asking?"

Hu Yanqiu said: "This friend of mine wants to buy some cloth, but he doesn't have the money, and he doesn't have much requirements for the cloth. You can pick some better cloth, and it will only cost you two yuan in meal tickets."

"You girl!"

The woman glanced at Gu Siwei and then at her niece, her face full of doting.

"I'll look for it for you."

After the woman finished speaking, she turned around and walked into the warehouse again.

At this time, Hu Yanqiu said to Gu Siwei: "There is a batch of cloth that has become a little damp and difficult to sell, but if you wear it yourself, it doesn't matter if you don't care. The most important thing is that it is cheap...".

"Thank you, thank you, you are really helpful. I will bring you something next time I come over." Gu Siwei thought this girl was so enthusiastic.

Meeting such an enthusiastic girl all of a sudden made Gu Siwei feel a bit unreal. But since he helped, he was not a person who received favors in vain, and he must return the favor.

It is very simple to repay this kindness. When he comes next time, he can bring some game to the girl, four or five pheasants, wild ducks, etc. It is not difficult for Gu Siwei.

Gu Siwei didn't take this matter seriously either. He still had the same mentality as before, and it has not yet transformed into the mentality of a handsome guy.

If you have been handsome since you were young, you must have understood at this moment that the pretty girl in front of you means a little bit to you.

Love at first sight, what is it about?

What else is there besides looks?

In the past, Lao Gu was not enough to fall in love with other girls, not to mention the first or third meeting.

But it is not unimaginable that Hu Yanqiu is attracted to the current Lao Gu, the thick-browed and big-eyed Zhu Shimao who is at the peak of his looks, and the 20-year-old Tang Guoqiang.

While the two were chatting, the woman came out holding a piece of cloth.

The cloth is a blue old country cloth, with obvious faded lines due to water soaking. It looks quite ugly. But at this time, Gu Siwei is still not qualified to choose. With the two money on hand, he can't buy more than a few feet. Even if it is

If you buy it, it will probably be enough to make a single coat for Sicui.

"How about this one? If you want it, this one."

"I only have two yuan." Gu Siwei was a little embarrassed.

Lao Gu was never embarrassed when taking other people's things, but now he felt a little embarrassed because he had to take advantage of others for no reason.

The woman smiled and said, "It's okay. This thing has to be disposed of even if it's not for sale. If you think it's okay, I'll wrap it up for you."

"Thank you, thank you, you have helped me a lot." Gu Siwei quickly took out the two yuan meal ticket from his pocket, and then handed it to the woman with both hands.

The woman was slightly startled when she saw Gu Siwei's appearance, but she quickly smiled, took the meal ticket, put it in the drawer next to her, and then began to arrange the cloth for Gu Siwei.

Buri took advantage of a wooden board to pull the cloth up and down from the wooden shaft, and folded it while saying: "No one with a figure of five or six feet like you can't make a top, and your trousers must be one step longer than others."

Two feet, this cloth is enough for you to make two sets of clothes, but the color is a little uneven due to dampness, and it doesn’t look good..."

Unknowingly, the woman had revealed Gu Siwei's situation while chatting.

"Auntie, it's already very good. I don't want to pick anything."

Now Gu Siwei only wears one set of clothes, and there is a little girl at home who has holes all over her body. Not to mention the color has faded due to dampness, even if it turns into white cloth, it is still cloth.

The woman arranged the cloth and folded it into a pile, then wrapped it in horse manure paper, tied it with a piece of twine, cut the twine with small scissors, and handed it to Gu Siwei's hand.

After thanking him again, Gu Siwei prepared to leave.

"Yanqiu, if you stay, I have something to say."

Hearing what the woman said, the discerning Gu Siwei thanked the woman and Hu Yanqiu again, and then walked out directly from the gate of the courtyard.

When the woman saw Gu Siwei walking away, she said to her niece, "This little Gu looks pretty good."

"He's pretty good. He's handsome and interesting." Hu Yanqiu didn't think about anything else. She just instinctively felt that Gu Siwei was a pretty good guy and she liked talking to him.

"The young man is nice, but you two are not suitable for each other."

"Ah, Fourth Aunt, what are you talking about? We just met." Hu Yanqiu's face suddenly turned red.

When the woman came here, she didn't know that her niece might have fallen in love with this young man named Gu, but she couldn't agree. Not to mention her, not even her sister-in-law would agree to her daughter marrying a farmer.

In this era, there is almost a gap between farmers and workers, and this is not an exaggeration at all.

"It's nothing you said, I just think he's interesting and I can help him a lot," Hu Yanqiu said.

"It would be better if I didn't have it."

The woman didn't want to push her niece too hard. Seeing her niece's denial, she stopped worrying: "It's OK to be friends, but don't cross the line."

"I understand, Fourth Aunt, you really have a lot on your mind. Okay, I won't tell you anymore. I have to go to work." Hu Yanqiu shook off his big braid and skipped away.

Looking at her niece's back, the woman sighed and whispered: It's really hard for a girl to stay in the spotlight.

Back to the woods.

The roll of cloth that Gu Siwei brought back restrained several more people.

"Did you buy this for two dollars?"

Guo Shengshui felt that his brain was a bit out of stock. Such a big piece of cloth costs two yuan? How come I have never encountered such a good thing in my life?

"Yeah, isn't it damp? If it wasn't damp, you wouldn't have let me buy it for two yuan." Gu Siwei hasn't figured out the twists and turns yet.

"Even if it gets damp, it can't be two yuan. This cloth is so thick." Another person touched the cloth and said with envy.

"I don't have any money to spend."

Gu Siwei thinks why these guys are so sick? If they didn’t buy them for two yuan, how much more money could they spend?

Guo Shengshui looked at Bu, then at Gu Siwei, then sighed and said with great melancholy: "It turns out that he is so good-looking, he can really be used as a moneymaker."

Gu Siwei was stunned for a moment, said something crazy, and took the cloth back into his hand.

It was almost noon now. All the things that should be sold were sold. There were still some scattered things left. Those that could be taken back were taken back. Those that were not worth taking back were given to a nearby household by Guo Shengshui.

This person got along well with Guo Shengshui. Sometimes he couldn't go home at night, and when bad situations happened, he would stay with him, so I gave him the remaining things as a favor.

After getting these things done, the team started walking back around 12 noon.

The speed is still slow. The speed of the old cow carrying things and not carrying things is almost the same. It is not much faster and not much slower, not to mention that the old cow has to stop from time to time to eat something.

grind!

It feels like there is just a grind along the way.

In the evening, when we arrived at the third team, there were relatives of Guo Shengshui in the third team. They were serious relatives and uncles who knew Shengshui well. They broke the bones and connected the tendons.

At the third team's side, we had a warm meal of porridge in the big cafeteria and rested for a few hours. We got up early in the morning and continued walking back around five o'clock, turning on the lantern.

When the sun reached the center of the sky, a group of people arrived at the entrance of the village.

After coming back, it was natural to divide things, but this matter had nothing to do with Gu Siwei. The work that Guo Shengshui took over was naturally handled by Guo Shengshui and every household.

Gu Siwei returned to the small courtyard with his things.

"elder brother!"

Seeing Gu Siwei back, Sicui's happy face almost blossomed.

"Well, I'm back, we have a pot, oh, I forgot, look what this is."

Gu Siwei said as he pretended to touch it from his arms, and a sugar bun appeared in his hand.

"Steamed buns, big white-faced steamed buns." Sicui is not stupid, and he can tell at a glance that they are white-faced steamed buns.

Gu Siwei smiled and said: "It's a sugar bun. It's cold. I'll heat it up later and you can eat it."

"Brother, have you eaten? Brother, have you eaten?" Sicui said.

Gu Siwei said: "I have eaten. This is yours. Each person got two. I ate one and left one for you."

Sicui took the steamed bun, divided it into two pieces, one large and one small, and handed the larger piece to Gu Siwei.

"My brother has worked hard. He can eat this big one, but I can eat this one," Sicui said.

Looking at Sicui, Gu Siwei said happily: "You can eat it, we will never go hungry again in the future."
