Su Ye had a wonderful dream last night. In the dream, she was touching Gu Xiangqian, and the man's abdominal muscles, strong waist, and long legs were all visible. Su Ye was so excited that she didn't care about the pain and flirted with him several times.
In the dream, Gu Xiangqian was particularly attractive. He was wearing a white shirt, and his fingers slowly unbuttoned it. When he lifted the brim of his hat, he had cold brows and eyes, and when he took off his shirt, he had hard muscles. In the end, Su Ye was so tired that she couldn't even open her eyes.
I didn't expect... this is actually true? Su Ye shuddered.
Su Ye had never considered being responsible to Gu Xiangqian, but now... the meat is already in his mouth, can he spit it out and deny it
"I'm sorry?" Gu Xiangqian frowned slightly and repeated Su Ye's words.
He took out his watch from the bedside and looked at it. It was five fifty, ten minutes before the spring revelation. Gu Xiangqian usually woke up at five o'clock, but today he was a full fifty minutes late.
Su Ye lowered her head, hiding the sadness on her face, and said, "I was just talking nonsense."
She quickly found her clothes and put them on, then left the bed. The room was in a mess. The Dongpo pork that she hadn't finished eating last night had solidified and was lying on the table. The wine bottle had fallen to the floor. Gu Xiangqian's most cherished books had fallen to the floor, and the students' homework books were stacked crookedly.
This scene made people vaguely recall this bookshelf, this table, and this stool, as if something impure had happened. Su Ye couldn't help but look away, it was too hot for the eyes. Even pretending to have amnesia and shirking responsibility was not an option.
Gu Xiangqian put on his clothes, patted Su Ye on the shoulder, and got up to wash up.
Compared to Su Ye's "shyness", Gu Xiangqian seemed energetic and high-spirited. He took the food coupons and went out to the canteen to buy four meat buns.
While Gu Xiangqian was waiting for the first basket of buns to come out of the oven, people kept greeting him.
"Xiang Qian had some good news today, he seems to be in a good mood."
"You look like a completely different person, young man."
"Oh, what day is it today? I can actually eat meat buns."
Although the army's food supply was basically guaranteed, meat buns were a rare food that not everyone could eat. For a soldier of Gu Xiangqian's rank, his monthly quota was only one pound of pork. After exchanging four meat buns, he didn't have to eat meat for the whole month.
Gu Xiangqian made some meat buns and brought them home. The stove was still burning, and the room was warm. Gu Xiangqian, who was used to the air-conditioning, took off his coat, leaving only a cotton shirt underneath.
He took out some dried noodles, cut some shepherd's purse, and put the noodles and vegetables into boiling water to make noodle soup. Then he poured hot water from the thermos and made two cups of malted milk.
The shadow standing by the windowsill had his shirt whitish in the dim morning light.
There are few fat people in this era, everyone is pale and thin. Gu Xiangqian looks thin from behind, but he actually looks thin when dressed and has flesh when undressed. After a month of recuperation, his abdominal muscles have not disappeared, and they are as hard as a copper wall.
Su Ye's stomach growled and it took him a long time to look away.
I don’t know whether it’s because I’m greedy or because I’m greedy in my heart.
There were two bowls of hot noodle soup, four meat buns, and two cups of malted milk on the table, and the air was filled with the sweet smell of food.
The usual breakfast was not so sumptuous. Usually at this time, Gu Xiangqian would bring back four coarse flour steamed buns, and occasionally he would have a bowl of noodles. But on the day when it was time to eat sorghum and buckwheat steamed buns, Su Ye didn't want to eat breakfast at all.
At this time, the meat buns just out of the steamer are white and plump, bigger than fists. The buns contain a thin layer of moisture, and the skin is soft and chewy. The canteen uses very solid ingredients, and you can taste the gravy with one bite. The hot meat filling makes Su Ye's eyes shine.
"Is it delicious?" Gu Xiangqian asked.
He knew it from Su Ye's shining eyes. He said, "Master Yang, who makes steamed buns, used to be a chef in a state-owned restaurant. He has been making delicious steamed buns with meat paste for at least twenty years. When we completed our mission and returned to the team, what we missed most was eating steamed buns."
In the past two years, food has become increasingly scarce, so meat buns have become particularly tempting. If a newly married couple in the army holds a wedding banquet, Master Yang's buns are a must.
Su Ye nodded and took a few more bites of the bun. Maybe it was because he hadn't eaten anything good for a long time, but Su Ye loved the big bun so much that he ate it all in one go.
It has been almost two months since Su Ye came here, and this is the first time he has tasted white flour meat buns.
One bun was enough to make Su Ye's stomach bloated, and she couldn't finish the noodle soup after taking a few bites. But food was precious and couldn't be wasted, so Su Ye was preparing to pack the remaining noodles into a lunch box and take them to school for lunch.
Gu Xiangqian finished his noodles and started eating the remaining noodles in Su Ye's bowl, as if he didn't dislike her saliva at all.
Su Ye was immediately so angry at his behavior that his face turned red and he was speechless for a long time.
After breakfast, Gu Xiangqian changed into pine green clothes and went to the training ground.
…
One middle school.
After Su Ye got a few broken watches from her students, she used her time after school to repair them with great concentration. She asked her students to watch her while she was repairing them.
After Su Ye disassembled, repaired, cleaned, and reassembled the ten broken watches, he finally got five working watches. The remaining five watches were not completely useless, as there were still many parts that were not broken that Su Ye disassembled, and these parts would be useful in the future.
Su Ye wiped the second-hand watch over and over again until it became shiny and glossy.
Considering that the workers in the factory were relatively well-off, she gave these watches to Yang Xue.
"Go home and ask your dad if there are any uncles or aunties in the factory who need a watch. You can get one for ten yuan."
Yang Xue nodded and put them into her schoolbag. Not to mention ten yuan, even if it was twenty yuan, Yang Xue believed that many people would buy it.
A new watch costs hundreds of yuan, so it is very cost-effective to buy a second-hand watch at less than one-tenth of the price. Moreover, after being rust-removed and polished by Mr. Su, the second-hand watch looks not much different from a new one.
They only spent 20 yuan to recycle the broken watches, and they could make a profit of 30 yuan by selling them at 10 yuan each. The tuition for junior high school students in No. 1 Middle School was only 10 yuan, but Teacher Su earned the tuition of three students in just a few days.
Yang Xue's admiration for her reached its peak.
Su Ye was in the office when she was repairing the watch, and she never tried to hide it. At first, the math and physics teachers thought Su Ye just loved to think and study, but they didn't expect that she would find a way to make money.
Physics teacher Lu quickly said, "Wait a minute, Xiao Su, can you show it to me?"
Although Mr. Lu has been a teacher for so many years, he still doesn't own a watch. He took the watch to look at it carefully, and then wound it up. There was nothing wrong with it, and it kept the time quite accurately.
He thought that if this watch could really be used, he would get a great bargain if he bought it. Su Ye was in No. 1 Middle School, so he could cheat anyone but his colleagues, right
Thinking of this, Teacher Lu decisively took out ten yuan from his pocket and gave it to Su Ye.
"This first order of business is mine. I will take care of Teacher Su's business."
He took the watch in his hand and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became. "Thank you, Mr. Su. Now a person like me who lives a tight life can use a watch."
Liu Qiu, who was in the same office, saw this and looked away in surprise. If Su Ye had this ability, why did he still work as a teacher in school to earn this hard-earned money
Su Ye shook his head and corrected him righteously: "This is not my business."
Although the state is cracking down on speculation, it is aimed at maliciously raising food prices and disrupting the market. There is not much restriction on a small watch. Now there are often farmers coming and going in the city, setting up stalls to sell their own agricultural products.
But Su Ye wanted to define the nature of this matter as public welfare and charity, and no one could shake it.
Su Ye patted the classmates beside him and said with a smile: "This is their 'business'."
"They buy broken watches from neighbors, reassemble them into good ones, and then resell them at low prices. The money earned from selling watches will be donated to the junior high school for free, so that students from poor families can also afford to go to school."
"I just played a mentoring role, I can't take the credit from them,"
Teacher Lu's eyes narrowed as he heard this. "What? You're donating to students who can't afford to go to school?"
Su Ye nodded. "This semester, several students in their class dropped out of school. These kids were very sad to see this, so we decided to do something for them. If this matter can make a splash, I will come up with a specific plan later."
Teacher Lu fell silent as he listened. He held the watch in his hand and suddenly felt very unhappy.
Teacher He, who was standing by, was very interested. He said, "Teacher Su is doing this. This is a good thing! If you need my help, I will definitely help you!"
Su Ye nodded and decisively accepted Teacher He's offer. He wanted to take this free labor that was offered to him voluntarily!
Yang Xue felt warm in her heart holding the watches, as if they were not just simple watches, but the hopes of many people.
…
Yang Xue took the repaired watch home and gave it to her father, and told him about Teacher Su's idea.
After hearing this, Yang Xue's father couldn't help but sigh: "Your teacher Su is very capable and has strong hands-on skills."
He knew what his daughter had been doing during this period. Wasn't she helping others repair watches for free? Yang Xue's father still remembered one of these watches. Wasn't it the one Yang Xue bought from Lao Wang's house for one dollar a few days ago
You know, the watch had been broken for several years, and Lao Wang was too stingy to throw it away, nor was he willing to take it to the scrap yard for recycling. When he heard that the broken watch could be exchanged for one dollar, he came to the door without hesitation.
I didn't expect Teacher Su to be so capable that he could even fix such trash.
Yang Xue's father carefully examined the watch and accepted it. "I'll ask around for you tomorrow. I'm sure there will be many people willing to buy it."
Yang Xue's father didn't wait until tomorrow. After dinner, he went to his colleague's house to hang out. He took out four watches, pointed at them and said, "These watches are ten yuan each. Can you help me find out who wants to buy a watch?"
What Yang Xue's father said was outrageous. The other people were all shocked when they heard it: Ten yuan for a watch is really a very low price, and they don't even want to consider the cost
Where does such a cheap and good thing come from
Everyone looked at Yang Xue's father suspiciously. Could this be stolen goods? But then they thought that stolen goods would not be sold at such a low price, almost like they were giving it away for free. If stolen goods were sold at this price, the smugglers would lose a lot of money.
Seeing his colleagues' suspicious looks, Yang Xue's father said angrily, "This is a watch that my daughter's teacher broke and reassembled, so I'm selling it cheap. If you don't want to help me, forget it. I'm leaving."
His fellow workers quickly pulled him back and dusted off his clothes affectionately. "No, no, no, why are you looking for someone else? Engineer Yang, do you think we are suitable?"
Even if it was stolen goods, they would take it just for the price! It was really cheap, and it was very considerate of these workers who were in financial difficulties.
