This time he can stay in Bianhe for a period of time, which is more time than when Gu Zhaocheng came to the city several times before.

Gu Zhaocheng was not in such a hurry, he came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

There is no need to rush for anything.

Taking his time and leisurely, he asked for a high price and sold all the fish he had stored before.

Another harvest of nearly 2,000 yuan was achieved. In this way, I sold fish several times, plus the system's subsistence allowance.

Excluding the several wages paid by Gu Zhaocheng to Na Cunhua, Gu Zhaocheng's personal savings also exceeded 5,000.

This money is not too small in this day and age. In the forest farm, many employees have worked for more than ten or twenty years.

If I really had to dig out my family fortune, I might not be able to get 5,000 yuan.

For a family like Lao Gu's, there won't be much difference between the savings and this figure.

Although the Gu family has a large population, Gu Changshan does not smoke or drink alcohol, so he is considered a frugal family.

Families with only such a small amount of savings can actually say that they have no ability to resist risks.

As long as nothing happens to the family, they can live a peaceful life.

If you encounter a slightly serious illness, your home will be empty.

Liu Yuliang, a self-motivated father, has been working at the forest farm for eight years and has worked diligently.

They not only earn wages, but also hunt for mountain goods, and even engage in poaching in the face of crime.

Ordinary animals dare to be poached, but protected animals also dare to do so.

Moreover, he only raised one child. After eight years, he could only save 6,000 yuan for Liu Ziqiang.

"Xingjie, you didn't eat much at school, okay? Look at the menu and order whatever you want."

After processing the fish, Gu Zhaocheng came to the city's Forestry High School to visit Xingjie.

I called someone to a small restaurant near the school.

After the weather became less cold, it was time for the final sprint of the college entrance examination.

Now there are basically only a hundred days left before the college entrance examination.

Xingjie didn't go back to the forest farm that frequently. Most of the time, he chose to live on campus.

After all, living on campus saves time.

After living on campus, everything is obviously not as good as home.

Not to mention where you live, sleeping in a dormitory with ten people is not as comfortable as sleeping on a warm kang at home.

This can be regarded as the result of the forestry department, which was relatively wealthy in the past few years and built good schools.

If it had been a few years earlier, it wouldn't have been strange for these students to sleep in Datong bungalows.

The food is not that good either. In a school like this, everything is cooked in a big pot, and taste is never the focus.

If a certain level of cleanliness and hygiene can be ensured, that would be considered good.

The most important thing is that Xingjie himself is relatively frugal.

Free soup, free boiled water, steamed buns or rice, and some pickles.

Or a portion of the cheapest boiled cabbage and radish is Xingjie’s daily routine.

When I was at Lao Gu's house, the food was not very good and I was mostly vegetarian.

But Na Cunhua will try his best to make the dishes taste better and richer. Usually, there will be some supplements such as bone soup, fish soup, eggs, and soy products.

Now that Gu Zhaocheng has handed over his salary, the old Gu family can buy some meat every few days to improve the food for everyone.

Compared with before, Xingjie's life at school was really a bit difficult.

"Brother, let's just eat whatever we want. In fact, our school's cafeteria is also pretty good."

Xingjie looked at the menu and thought it was quite expensive, much more expensive than the school cafeteria. He didn't want to eat out.

Even if the school cafeteria fails in many aspects, the most important thing is that it is cheap and affordable.

"My eldest brother finally came to the city. I'm thinking about the restaurant where you want me to eat next time. Since you don't want to order it, I'll order it for you."

It has been several months since this time travel, and Gu Zhaocheng has not even been to a serious restaurant.

While he was improving Xingjie, Gu Zhaocheng was also preparing to start eating meat on his own.

Gu Zhaocheng, a temporary worker, was trained in the bureau, and even though he didn't have to spend money on meals.

But the people who come here for training are at the bottom of the bureau’s food chain.

Most of the people participating in the training this time were temporary workers.

These units are already different from the simplicity of forest farms. They are always willing to take advantage of the highs and lows. The lower the status, the worse the food, which is inevitable.

Even if the ingredients are almost the same and the cook is perfunctory in cooking and just cooks them well, there is nothing we can do about it.

"Boss, what dish is the best in your store? Can you recommend it to me?"

Gu Zhaocheng called the boss over.

The small restaurant only has a business area of ​​a few dozen square meters. It is the simplest mom-and-pop shop. It only employs two people and the restaurant is not big.

“Our chicken stewed with mushrooms is the best.”

"I don't want this dish."

No matter how good the chicken stewed with mushrooms in the city is, it is not as delicious as the stewed free-range chickens and wild hazel mushrooms in a forest farm using earthen stoves.

"Pork in pot, braised pork ribs."

The reason why the three northeastern provinces have always been collectively referred to as one unit is that they are not only outside Shanhaiguan, but also have similar environments and habits in all aspects, which is also an important reason.

Even the tastes of residents in various provinces are very similar, but there are some differences in details.

“These two dishes are good, I’ll take them.”

“Pork vermicelli, braised pork slices, and fat sausage.”

"Please have some pork vermicelli. Are there any vegetarian dishes..."

"Brother, these are almost enough for us to eat." Xingjie reminded from the side.

Gu Zhaocheng thought about the amount of food in the Northeast. It was really difficult for two people to eat four hard dishes. Even two young guys who were growing up couldn't eat four plates of meat:

"Forget about braised pork vermicelli, let's have some stir-fried cauliflower and some green beans and braised eggplant."

For forest areas, vegetables in this season are rare.

Based on the conditions of the old Gu family, they would not often buy high-priced greenhouse vegetables to eat.

What I eat most are potatoes, cabbage, radishes, and some dried vegetables such as dried beans and eggplants that are easy to store.

"Brother, this is a bit much."

"There's so much, but this isn't much. Look at how thin you've become during this time."

Using your brain has always been a very consuming task.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many people who use their brains too much, and they can’t gain weight no matter how much they eat.

"I haven't lost anything, I just don't wear as much as before, and I look thinner."

Xingjie reluctantly explained.

"Xingjie, my elder brother bought you a set of exercises and some milk powder biscuits. If you want to study at night, you can eat them when you are hungry."

Gu Zhaocheng did not force Xingjie to be fat.

This is something that parents will emphasize that they care about. Gu Zhaocheng has mentioned it and reminds me that he will not worry about it all the time.

Xingjie was only one year younger than Gu Zhaocheng, and he was already an adult with a very independent mind. Gu Zhaocheng could not regard Xingjie as a child, only a younger brother.

At the last minute of the college entrance examination, it is normal for students to lose weight. How can they cross the single-plank bridge without making some sacrifices?

"Brother, I asked you to worry about it. You came to the city for training, and you even came to see me."

"It's nothing. I'm here just to see you. I didn't come from the forest farm specially. Have you contacted your mother recently?"

While the two of them were waiting for the food to be served, it felt uncomfortable to be so polite all the time. Gu Zhaocheng raised the topic and asked.

Gu Zhaocheng now somewhat understands Cunhua's feeling of being treated politely.

It's a little uncomfortable to be treated politely by someone you think of as one of your own.

"I talked to her on the phone some time ago."

Huang Xiaoping also went out for several months and did not come back during the Chinese New Year.

The evidence that I haven't forgotten my son is to give him a phone call once in a while.

Both parties still use the same phone number, so it is not easy to contact them.

Regardless of Gu Zhaocheng, the number of times the two of them talk to each other will never exceed one hand.

And even after contacting me, it was impossible to say too much.
