Wearing a book at eighty, being pampered by a disabled boss

Chapter 40

Zeng's father's leg has been checked at Tongjitang, and the doctor there said that it is a miracle that Zeng's father's leg is expected to heal.

Zeng Mu was even more grateful to Su Shuoci and his wife, but Gu Jiaojiao didn't have time to listen to her praise.

She checked her great-father's leg, and the medicine used by Tongjitang was not bad, even better than she had imagined.

Su Shuoci gave the monkey the rice, flour, and soap, and then took Gu Jiaojiao to the black market to buy medicinal materials.

They met a ginseng seller, and Gu Jiaojiao saw that it was wild ginseng, some of which were as old as 100 years old, and some as old as 20 years old.

She asked the price calmly, and when the other party saw that Su Shuo had resigned from the wheelchair, he thought they bought it for their own use.

The ginseng seller was collected from a remote mountain village. He only spent 100 yuan for 200-year-old ginseng.

"I'll sell you one thousand yuan for this old one, and give you one hundred yuan for the rest. If it was someone else, I'd have to sell it for 2000 yuan no matter what."

"Brother looks like a conscientious trader. Next time you have something good, you will find a monkey. My family is not in good health..."

Gu Jiaojiao babbled a good word, the vendor was overjoyed to hear it, and agreed wholeheartedly.

He has mixed with many people in the black market, and he has never received respect from others except for rolling eyes.

The worthless herbs on hand were sold to Gu Jiaojiao at the original price without any extra money.

With a few ginsengs, he made a full 1000 yuan, and he sold them as soon as they were stable.

The two sides had a pleasant transaction, although Gu Jiaojiao got the precious wild ginseng, but she had no money.

I can only ask the ginseng seller if he wants rice, and there is such a good thing, the ginseng seller is very happy.

He is also a member of the compound. He went to the Northwest to become an educated youth at the age of 17 because of his unique vision.

Every time I go home to visit relatives, I buy mountain products from the countryside and sell them in the city, and then buy grain from the city to sell in the countryside.

Even as an educated youth, he still lives incomparably comfortably. The remote mountains are remote, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. The outside world has nothing to do with the mountains.

He is a literate scholar who is admired by thousands of people in the mountains. He can eat meat every day and has never been hungry.

In the first two years after returning to the city, I also made a lot of money, but the market has slowly opened up recently.

If there are more people following the trend, it will not be as easy to make money as before.

He and Gu Jiaojiao bought one thousand catties of rice and eight hundred catties of flour. This flour was not the Fuqiangfu they usually bought and sold, but an overseas Chinese shop.

You don't need to go to the countryside to sell them, you can sell them at a high price in this city, "If you have them, you can sell them to me."

"Yeah." Gu Jiaojiao nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, because the price she offered was ten cents more per catty than the monkey.

A thousand catties of rice is 100 yuan more, and the two parties have a happy transaction again.

"My name is Song Zijie, I live in..." Song Zijie is also a very talkative person.

From his detailed self-introduction, Gu Jiaojiao learned that he was the second son of the Song family.

He is Song Zijin's cousin, 25 years old this year, seven years older than Gu Jiaojiao in the same year as Su Shuoci.

Gu Jiaojiao was only ten years old when he went to the northwest, and during the two years since he came back, he either went to work or traded on the black market all day long.

It's normal not to know Su Shuoci and Gu Jiaojiao.

Su Shuoci has a long-term vision and will meet in the same compound one day, so he also introduced himself.

"We live in the same compound, my name is Su Shuoci, and my wife's name is Gu Jiaojiao..."

"You are Su Shuoci and Gu Jiaojiao?" Song Zijie was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.

The names of these two people, Song Zijie, are very familiar, and his mother and sister talked about it at the dinner table recently.

He listened to their words, although he didn't say anything, but Su Shuoci in his mind was a decadent, moody disabled person.

And Gu Jiaojiao is an unreasonable jerk who cries all day long, and the two people in front of her.

Except that Su Shuo's wheelchair is a disability, everything else is not wrong at all.

Even though the man was in a wheelchair, he could tell that he was tall and handsome, and he was even better looking than the people in the movies, especially with a smile on his face.

The woman's oval face with willow-leaf eyebrows, plus a playful nose and thin lips, looks a bit like a beautiful Jiangnan girl.

At this time, she looked at the man beside her with a smile like a flower, and she also carried a bit of the charm of a little daughter's family.

The girl's smile is white and sweet, like the breeze in the early summer morning, with a hint of intoxicating breath.

It may be that buying their rice can make money, Song Zijie feels that the two of them are like a couple of gods.

While Song Zijie was sizing up Su Shuoci, Gu Jiaojiao was also sizing up Su Shuoci, who looked a bit like Song Zijin.

Tall, with a round face, there is a small dimple when he smiles, showing two canine teeth, and the baby face looks very young.

According to him, he was the same year as Su Shuoci, even if he reported his age, Gu Jiaojiao thought he was at most as old as Song Zijin.

Su Shuoci is domineering, Song Zijie looks like a child, the two people of the same age have a lot of difference in momentum, standing together is like an uncle leading a nephew.

Gu Jiaojiao laughed even more happily, "You are so surprised, have you heard our gossip, don't be surprised, sister is a legend."

Song Zijie: ...

"Brother, how about we trade in some remote corner of the compound in the future?"

It is too hard for you to push wheelchairs to the black market, but Song Zijie is embarrassed to say this.

"Okay, on a dark and windy night, just come and knock on the window of our house." Gu Jiaojiao blinked her lively eyes.

Where the two sides agreed to trade, Song Zijie didn't ask Su Shuo where the rice from Ci's speech came from.

Gu Jiaojiao didn't ask him why he speculated. Judging by his proficiency, it must have happened not once or twice.

After they separated, Gu Jiaojiao bought a live and alive grass carp, two chickens, and some pork on the black market.

She didn't regret not seeing anyone selling rabbits today. It's not bad to buy chicken and fish if she sees them.

She happily pushed Su Shuoci to go back, but she didn't know if their steamed stuffed bun business was booming or not.

As soon as he came out of the alley of the black market, he heard an old lady not far away, pointing at a young woman and cursing.

The old lady was not tall, with bound feet and arched waist, but she was full of air when she scolded people.

Standing with neck hunched was her son. They were not badly dressed, but their quality was so poor that he didn't dare to speak out when his wife was scolded.

Gu Jiaojiao knew that young woman, to be precise, she knew her in person, she was her classmate's sister, and her background was not low.

The old lady's abuse was to complain that her daughter-in-law had been married for several years and had not yet had children.

They came to the black market to ask for medicine, and they bought the medicine, but they didn't know if it was real.

Gu Jiaojiao despised that man very much, his wife scolded his daughter-in-law, and he wouldn't even fart while standing by.

Gu Jiaojiao can cure her inability to have children, and if she can't, she can also be a test-tube baby.

But she would not rashly go up to meddle in other people's business, she could only look sympathetically at the woman who had been abused by her mother-in-law.

Su Shuo saw his daughter-in-law and looked back frequently, "Of course we will meet again if we are destined. If we go up like this, people may not believe you."
