Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

Chapter 277 The Weak Girl of the Age 84

Gu Jin looked at Wu Cong apologetically: "Doctor Wu, I'm sorry, I may have to take up your space for a while."

"Well, don't be nervous. He and I are not to the point of never seeing each other again. You two can just trade yours." Wu Cong yawned. "It's getting late, so go back quickly! Remember to treat me to a meal. I want to eat the braised pork made by Nuanyi. I'm so greedy every time I hear you talk about it."

Gu Jin smiled and nodded, "Okay! How about tomorrow, I'll make you a big bowl and let you eat as much as you want!"

"It's agreed that I'll bring a bottle of medicinal wine tomorrow."

Gu Jin carried a suitcase in one hand and a backpack with the other.

In order to avoid being seen by others, Gu Jin went back through the mountain.

I knocked gently on the back door. Guo Zhenru had been guarding the back door and opened it immediately.

Gu Jin quickly ran into the yard and asked in a low voice, "Is the good boy asleep?"

Guo Zhenru also lowered her voice and replied: "Not yet"

"Let's go into the house and talk!"

Walking into the room, Gu Jin did not play tricks and directly opened all three suitcases, which were filled with big black money: "That ginseng was sold for 350,000, I want cash"

Guo Zhenru looked at the three suitcases of money and was so excited that she couldn't speak. She covered her mouth tightly with her hands to avoid screaming too loudly.

Gu Nuanyi was also a little excited. She picked up a stack of money and started counting it.

I smiled happily while counting money. Ah~~ It really makes people happy, especially when counting money that belongs to you, it makes you even happier!!!

After Guo Zhenru was so excited, he also took a stack of money and started counting it.

Gu Jin had already counted the money, so he sat aside, drinking water and watching the mother and daughter happily counting the money.

"Another sum of money will arrive in two days, and that person will buy another one, but he doesn't have that much money on him. We agreed to make the transaction in three days."

Gu Nuanyi gave a thumbs up: "Dad is awesome! He sold another one so quickly."

"It's just that I sold it and he bought it. It's nothing special. This time, it's all thanks to Dr. Wu's introduction. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been sold so quickly."

Guo Zhenru: "I didn't expect a barefoot doctor to know such a rich man..."

Gu Jin recalled the gossip he heard in Doctor Wu's yard and frowned slightly: "That Doctor Wu should not be an ordinary barefoot doctor..."

Gu Jin recounted what he had heard.

Guo Zhenru opened his mouth slightly, and after a long while he sighed, "Ah...rich people are really messy...that barefoot doctor must be a young master who has lived a life of luxury, but I didn't expect that he would end up in this remote place..."

"Even in our remote and poor countryside, disputes over family property often occur, not to mention those wealthy families..."

"Hmm..." Gu Nuanyi held her left hand, her hand cramped from counting money...

This sound also interrupted Gu Jin and Guo Zhenru's gossip.

"My dear, are you okay?!"

Gu Nuanyi shook her hands: "It's okay, I just had a cramp..."

"Hahaha, Dad also got cramps when he was counting the money at Doctor Wu's place. What a good opportunity... Dad will move the money to your room, you can count it whenever you want."

Gu Nuanyi was stunned: "Dad, Mom, this is for the whole family..."

"Well, my parents are still able to work, what do they need your money for? Keep your own money, go open a passbook in a few days, and save it up when you have time!"

"Dad, Mom, with this money, we can rebuild the yard, and you don't have to work so hard in the fields..."

Guo Zhenru touched Gu Nuanyi's head lovingly: "Our darling is so filial. When our parents are old and can no longer work, we will spend our darling's money!"

Gu Jin: "Now that our family is rich, we have to be more low-key. Think about it, if your mother and I don't work and eat a lot of fish and meat every day, what do you think the people in the brigade will think? If they knew that our family made so much money from selling ginseng, do you think they would come to borrow money with their own excuses? Then should we lend them money or not?"

Gu Nuanyi tilted her head and looked at Gu Jin: "That day and that day..."

Gu Jin said without hesitation: "Tianhe doesn't need this money. You are the elder sister, but in our family, you don't need to support your younger brother. You are the elder sister only because you were born earlier than him. You are your father's child just like Tianhe. I, your father, am not so cowardly as to ask you to help raise the child!!"

Gu Nuanyi lowered her head and pinched her fingers: "I just don't want you to be so tired anymore. I was not in good health before, and you and mom worked hard to earn work points and save money, and never gave up on me, so I could recover my health. Dad, Mom, now I can make money, and I want to repay you!"

Guo Zhenru's nose felt sore, and she quickly turned her head to wipe away her tears: "My dear! I carried you for ten months and gave birth to you. How could I give up on you?!"

Gu Jin also felt his nose sour. He looked up at the roof and forced back his tears. He said with a choked voice, "Okay, baby, listen to Daddy. Keep the money. If you really encounter difficulties in the future, you can help me."

"Then Dad, can I use this as the money for my son-in-law?"

Gu Jin wanted to say that he still had the compensation from last time, but when he saw Gu Nuanyi looking at him eagerly, he had to nod and reached out to take out a big black ten from his suitcase: "The betrothal gift plus the banquet, that's enough"

Gu Nuanyi reached into the suitcase with her little hand, took out a pile of money and quickly closed the suitcase. Then she walked out the door with the suitcase in her hand: "Dad, Mom, I'm going back to my room first. You should also go to bed early. Good night!"

"Why do we need so much?" Gu Jin picked up the money and started to chase after him.

But Guo Zhenru stopped him: "Just accept the gift from your sweetheart... She gave it to us, so we will save it for her, and it will still be hers in the future!"

Guo Zhenru took a quick look and saw that the money that Gu Nuanyi brought out was close to 2 yuan.

"Okay! We'll save it for her. Just keep the money. I'll send the other two boxes to her room!"

Gu Jin knocked on Gu Nuanyi's door with a suitcase in his hand: "My dear, I put the other two boxes at the door for you. By the way, my dear, Doctor Wu is craving the braised pork you made. Tomorrow, dad will go buy some meat and come back. My dear, can you make some braised pork for me?"

Gu Nuanyi nodded: "Okay! Or I'll go buy it. I know an aunt in the commune. She often sells meat and doesn't even require a ticket."

"Is it fresh meat? Maybe it's some sick pigs or plague pigs..."

"It's new. Many people in the family compound come to buy it from that auntie."

"Then Dad won't go. The house next door is going to be demolished tomorrow. Dad will go and lend a hand."

The next day, Gu Nuanyi not only made braised pork, but also braised fish.

Wu Cong ate so much that he didn't even raise his head, and even refused to drink the medicinal wine he brought with him.

"Doctor Wu, didn't you say you wanted to have a drink with me?"

Wu Cong waved his hand: "No, no, I want to eat more food. Old Gu, your daughter's cooking skills are top-notch!"
