Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

Chapter 235 The Weak Girl of the Age 42

In the afternoon, Gu Jin was sharpening his hatchet and planning to go for a stroll in the mountains.

I feel uncomfortable when I'm idle.

Gu Nuanyi squatted beside Gu Jin and acted like a spoiled child, wanting to go up the mountain with Gu Jin.

"Dad, I swear I won't run away! Just take me with you!"

"No, there are big beasts, black bears and snakes on the mountain. It's too dangerous."

"Dad, please take me there once. Mom wants to go there too, right?" Gu Nuanyi looked at Guo Zhenru and blinked.

Guo Zhenru rubbed his still sore waist and said, "I'm not going. The vegetable garden in the backyard should be tidied up."

"Mom, I tidy up the vegetable garden every day. Mom, let's not go to the mountains, we can just go for a walk and pick up some firewood." Gu Nuanyi took Guo Zhenru's arm and shook it.

Guo Zhenru nodded lovingly, "Okay, go with our sweetheart. We don't have much firewood left at home."

Since his wife had spoken, Gu Jin naturally had to listen: "Follow me and your mother after we go up the mountain, okay?"

Gu Nuanyi nodded repeatedly

Just as the three of them packed up and prepared to go up the mountain

There was a knock on the gate

Gu Jin opened the gate and saw four strangers.

One of them smiled and said, "Uncle Gu Jin, right? We are educated youth who went to the countryside. The secretary told us that you can exchange some furniture for us."

"Come in and take your pick. Some are ready-made. If you want to order something custom, you'll have to wait."

Gu Jin brought four people to the warehouse: "Yes, all the ready-made ones are in here."

Gu Jin made wooden basins, large and small benches, large and small tables, large and small cabinets, bathtubs, wooden bowls and chopsticks, etc.

"Wow, Uncle Gu Jin, you have so many things here." One of them walked in quickly, touching this and that, "Oh, I seem to be missing everything, Uncle Gu Jin, can I get a discount if I buy more?"

Gu Jin: "Small business owners never bargain. There are many carpenters in the brigade. If you think mine is too expensive, you can go to someone else to exchange."

The man curled his lips in dissatisfaction and muttered quietly: "He doesn't even understand that the customer is God. No wonder no one comes to him to exchange things."

The warehouse was not big, and everyone could hear the quiet mumbling.

Gu Nuanyi narrowed her eyes and looked at the mumbling female educated youth. Could this be another fellow villager? ?

Gu Nuanyi stared at the young woman for a while and then looked away. She had no intention of meeting her fellow villager.

When fellow villagers meet, they may not be filled with tears. They may even be stabbed in the back.

After all, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain...

The other educated youth were embarrassed for a moment, and quickly pulled the female educated youth who was speaking

He smiled awkwardly to smooth things over: "Uncle Gu Jin, Yi Ling didn't mean anything else. We didn't bring much money with us when we went to the countryside..."

Gu Jin waved his hand and said, "If you want to buy something cheap, you can go to Lu Yong's house and have a look."

After that, he pointed the way to the four educated youths.

The four educated youths had never expected that someone would push away the business that had already come to them.

Jiang Yiling felt that she came to buy something, but was not treated accordingly, so she wanted to leave immediately.

In her previous life, no one would dare to treat her like this...

Although she didn't have as much money as she did in her previous life, her temper deep in her soul had not been smoothed out by the lack of money.

So he pulled the sleeves of other educated youth and said, "Since there are cheaper ones, let's go buy the cheaper ones!"

Su Lian frowned and whispered, "But I think these things are well made, and we haven't even asked the price yet, so how do you know whether it's expensive or cheap?"

If it weren't for the fact that they had eaten together, worked together, and comforted each other when they were tired, and had developed some feelings for each other, Su Lian wouldn't want to say more about this.

After being lectured, Jiang Yiling's temper in the depths of her soul rushed to her head, and her face immediately darkened: "If you want to buy it here, then buy it. What about you two? Are you going with me or staying?"

Su Lian didn't expect Jiang Yiling to have such a strange temper. Her expression changed instantly after a word. It was probably because she was too busy and tired in the past half month, so she thought that everyone was a friend with similar temperaments...

Fortunately, I saw another side of Jiang Yiling today, so it’s not too late

Su Lian rubbed her brows and said, "I'll change here at Uncle Gu Jin's place, you can go to other houses if you want!"

The other two educated youth looked left and right, and finally followed Jiang Yiling.

Su Lian had already thought about what she wanted to buy, so she said directly: "Uncle Gu Jin, please help me with two wooden basins, one large and one small, a small stool, and a large box."

Gu Jin nodded and said, "Okay, the big wooden basin is 1 yuan, the small wooden basin is 6 yuan, how big a box do you want? The biggest box here is 4 yuan, and you can give 4 yuan for the small stool."

"I want the biggest one. Can you put a wooden board in the middle?"

"Okay, it's 6 yuan in total. I'll send it to the Youth Home for you after it's fixed."

Su Lian took out some money from her pocket and handed it to Gu Jin: "Then I'll trouble you, Uncle Gu Jin."

After seeing Su Lian off, Gu Jin touched Gu Nuanyi's head and said, "Dad has something to do. Can we go up the mountain tomorrow?"

"Okay! My dressing box is almost finished, so I'll join Dad!"

Gu Nuanyi returned to her room and took out the nearly finished dressing box. She sat in the yard with Gu Jin and did some woodworking quietly.

For a moment, the only sound in the yard was the sound of the carving knife scratching the wood.

It's easy to add a wooden board in the middle of the box. Gu Jin will do it in no time.

Considering that there were more female educated youth in the Youth House, in order to avoid suspicion, Gu Jin and Guo Zhenru delivered the things that Su Lian had ordered.

Just as the two of them were sending the things away on a cart, there was another knock on the gate.

Gu Nuanyi put down the carving knife and opened the door: "You are..."

Seeing that it was a girl who opened the door, Xiao Xin took two steps back and carefully identified her before asking, "Is this Uncle Gu Jin's house? We are here to exchange furniture."

"My father is not here, why don't you come back later!"

"Also... that's okay"

After seeing the person agreed, Gu Nuanyi closed the door without hesitation.

Xiao Xin touched his nose and said, "Brother Yu, do I look scary?"

Yan Xingyu: "I guess the little girl is the only one at home! It's normal for her to be a little cautious. Let's come back later."

the other side

When Gu Jin and Guo Zhenru delivered the things Su Lian bought to the Youth House

Just then I saw Jiang Yiling and the other two coming back with their belongings.

They were all girls, so Guo Zhenru asked, "Excuse me, is Comrade Su Lian here?"

Su Lian heard the voice and ran out of the room: "I'm here, thank you for helping me deliver the things."

Guo Zhenru helped Su Lian move her things into the dormitory before leaving.

Jiang Yiling and the other two relied entirely on their willpower to bring the things back.

At this moment, the hands of the three of them were shaking unconsciously.

Jiang Yiling complained: "We bought so many things, but why didn't they deliver them to the Youth Hostel?"

Zhu Ke'er tilted her head and looked at the wooden basin bought by Su Lian. She always felt that hers was of better quality.

"Su Lian, how much is this wooden basin?"

"A big one is one yuan, a small one is 6 cents"

"Hiss~" Zhu Ke'er frowned and said unhappily: "This is not much more expensive than what we bought..."

Zhu K'er instantly felt that she had suffered a great loss...

Su Lian ignored Zhu Ke'er. They had chosen to go to another place to exchange their
