Gu Xiangqian came out of the shower, with a light mist on his body and water drops rolling down the ends of his hair. In those days, the bathrooms and toilets in the tube-shaped buildings were shared, and this seductive look was seen by countless people along the way.
Su Ye felt that he had suffered a great loss, so he served Gu Xiangqian a bowl of duck soup and told him:
"Next time, dry your hair before going out. The weather is still cold and it's easy to catch a cold."
Gu Xiangqian hummed, a hint of warmth flashing across his dark eyes. Since his mother passed away, no one had ever reminded him of these trivial matters. Although Su Ye was a little willful in other aspects, he could still tolerate it.
The old duck blood soup has a slightly mellow taste. After being boiled for a long time, the duck meat is stewed until it is soft and the skin is so tender that it breaks when sucked.
Gu Xiangqian was very satisfied with the meal and even drank two large bowls of old duck soup.
Su Ye soon finished eating and drinking her fill. She stretched out her hand and touched Gu Xiangqian's lush and dense hair. It was wet and soft, not at all irritating.
The lines of his back were very straight, and the muscles in his shoulders were beautifully proportioned. He was not at all as horrible as those big guys in terms of training. His hard muscles seemed to contain terrible power.
Su Ye would accept this pitfall. With such a vivid man by her side, how could she resist? Moreover, Gu Xiangqian's face and figure were precisely in line with Su Ye's aesthetic taste.
Su Ye's eyes became hot as she watched, and she kissed Gu Xiangqian's serious, icy face.
Gu Xiangqian hadn't even finished the last mouthful of soup when his wife touched him so hard that his whole body became hot. How could this be
"Sit still and don't move. It's still early." Gu Xiangqian tore Su Ye off his body and straightened his sitting position.
Su Ye chuckled, "It's better to be early."
The censored content is automatically formatted.
It was already late at night. Gu Xiangqian looked at his watch. In order not to affect his schedule tomorrow, he couldn't help but frowned: "Still coming? It's getting late."
Su Ye's mind was filled with brilliant fireworks. He weakly raised his thumb and said, "Come on, come again!"
Eat more meals while you can. What if you can’t eat them in the future
Su Ye bit Gu Xiangqian's neck and said, "Brother, you are really strong. Come on, come on."
Can Gu Xiangqian still hold it in? He groaned. Any man can hold back...
…
The next day, when Su Ye went to school, his legs couldn't help shaking. He sat in the office with a pale face. It took him a long rest before he returned to normal.
She slowly nibbled on the meat buns that Gu Xiangqian had made for her, while in the other lunch box was the old duck soup that he had made himself.
I don't know where this man got the meat buns. There was no meat on the food allowance, but he made Su Ye's favorite meat buns. Thinking that Gu Xiangqian might have exchanged his salary with his comrades, Su Ye tasted a little sweet in the buns in his mouth.
He Meimei found Su Ye during the break and handed Su Ye a big black ten. "Su Ye, I want to buy a watch."
Although He Meimei works long hours, she is very frugal and does not easily spend on luxury items.
I heard that Su Ye made a cheap watch for ten dollars, so I tried to buy one out of trust.
Su Ye took the money, took out the notebook and wrote down He Meimei's name on it. He Meimei smiled and said, "This can be regarded as supporting your career."
Teacher He took over the topic, shook his head and said jokingly: "Meimei, you don't know this, our watches are not difficult to sell. There are so many people queuing up to buy watches."
He gestured and said, "I won't hide it from you. There are still 50 or 60 people ahead of you in the queue."
He Meimei was so surprised that she was speechless.
What does it mean to have fifty or sixty people? A watch costs ten yuan, so fifty or sixty watches would be five or six hundred yuan! I thought before that Su Ye's refurbished watches were just a small thing, but I didn't expect them to be so popular. He Meimei thought it was incredible.
I didn't expect Su Ye to accomplish such a great thing.
Su Ye smiled and handed He Meimei a cup of tea. "Don't worry. Don't listen to Teacher He's nonsense. We still have to work hard. If the watch is made, I will give it to you first."
On weekends, the children worked together to find the classmates who had dropped out of school. Those friends who had dropped out of school gradually came to the campus. This group of students was at a time when they were full of ambition. They worked hard secretly and got together to work seriously after school.
Not long after, Su Ye received a batch of assembled and refurbished watches.
Su Ye delivered the watches to the buyers according to the list, and small notes with beautiful handwriting were also handed to them along with the watches.
The banknotes flowed onto Su Ye's chest like running water, including red one-yuan notes, pagoda mountain notes, Su three-yuan notes, big black ten-yuan notes, red five-yuan notes, and even odd and ends worth a few cents... Mr. He, the accountant, became more and more crazy the more he counted.
After counting to the end, Teacher He's eyes were almost red, and he said with disordered breathing: "No, no, let's do it again."
After all, Mr. He was a Chinese teacher, and his calculations of addition, subtraction, and multiplication were limited to the few things he bought and sold. He didn't have the ability of an accountant. Afraid of miscounting the money or making a mistake in the account, Mr. He counted the money again and again.
Everyone in the office was looking at him, and if it weren't for the genuine stupidity on Mr. He's face, others would probably have thought he did it on purpose.
Holding a pile of money and counting it over and over again, is it suspected of showing off wealth
This scene really hurt the hearts of the poor people present.
Zhou Yi shook his head and took the money. He said calmly, "Come on."
Zhou Yi counted once and quickly counted the amount of banknotes. He reported the number: "1,032 yuan."
Teacher He adjusted his glasses, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He said as if explaining to himself: "Look, there is so much money here, can't you be more careful and count it a few more times?"
He paused and said, "Old Zhou, are you sure you counted correctly? Count it again to check it."
To be honest, Teacher He has never counted such a large sum of money in all his years.
Zhou Yi looked at Teacher He with contempt, and said calmly: "It won't be wrong. If you don't believe me, count it."
After hearing this, Teacher He quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, Lao Zhou doesn't believe you."
Su Ye couldn't help but shake his head and smile when he saw this scene. When he first met Teacher He, he looked upright and honest, but he was actually a funny guy in private.
The other teachers were deeply shocked when they saw this scene. They took a deep breath in their hearts. How could they make so much money by selling refurbished watches
Fang Zhou looked at the watch on his wrist in disbelief. How could such a small thing earn so much money
He Meimei was no longer as surprised as she was at first when she saw so much money. Some time ago, Teacher He had said that about 50 or 60 customers wanted to buy watches.
The others thought about it and gradually figured it out: "A thousand dollars is just a hundred-dollar watch."
"Almost all the teachers in the office of No. 1 Middle School have a watch. If we put it outside, wouldn't it attract more competition?"
Su Ye had been tinkering with the watch for nearly half a month, how could he not sell it for 100 yuan? Apart from other things, more than a dozen teachers in the No. 1 Middle School had already bought refurbished watches. What about the teachers' family members, friends, and relatives
Friends and relatives will spread the word to family members, friends, and relatives, and it will radiate in all directions. It won’t be long before people in the whole city know that the students of No. 1 Middle School have made a cheap refurbished watch.
He Meimei took out the carefully copied note from the drawer. It was copied by many teachers themselves, and Teacher He would catch anyone with beautiful handwriting to copy the note.
The note was filled with dense words, sincere and modest, not only pointing out the origin of the watch, but also promising a free return and free repair within one month if the buyer was not satisfied. The article was written in a very prudent way, completely dispelling the doubts of the buyer.
This kind of refurbished watch is not only cheap and affordable, but also has such meaning behind it. Who wouldn’t want to buy it
Even He Meimei herself can confidently recommend it to her friends. If each person is limited to buying one, He Meimei will definitely buy more for this price. People's hearts are bought over, and refurbished watches really have no worries about sales!
For a while, the office was filled with compliments and praises from the teacher.
Liu Qiu was so shocked that he couldn't even speak when he saw this. What does 1032 yuan mean? This is a salary that a teacher can't earn in two years! And Su Ye earned it in less than a month...
Last month, Liu Qiu had jokingly mentioned Su Ye's pitiful salary to Anna. Now, before the end of the month, Su Ye had already earned more than a thousand yuan with his students. Thinking of this, Liu Qiu's face became hot, with envy and blushing.
Su Ye was the calmest person and he didn't even care about this little bit of money.
If the price hadn't been lowered deliberately, I would probably have earned even more!
Su Ye had done a small market survey in private and asked Yang Xue's father to count the demand for watches among the workers in the oil factory (registered to buy watches). The number of people who were willing to buy watches far exceeded two hundred, and there were also hundreds of people in the factory who had owned watches. This shows that watches are a sought-after and popular commodity in this year.
In addition to being a symbol of status and identity, watches also have practical uses. No matter how expensive it is, people will want to buy a watch even if they have to tighten their belts and save money for a whole year. What's more, it's a cheap second-hand watch
It takes about two to three hours to make a refurbished watch, and each student can make one a day. He is now in full swing, and if ten people work hard, it will take less than a week to create this wealth. In a short time, his "repair team" will usher in the peak of income.
Su Ye deducted the students' tuition and book fees from the profit of about 1,000 yuan and gave the remaining money to Zhou Yi.
He said to Zhou Yi: "You can make a budget sometime. Calculate the expenditure, income, cost and profit of the budget, keep a small amount for necessary expenses, and deposit the rest in the bank."
Su Ye inquired about the bank interest rates in the 1960s. The interest rate for current deposits fluctuated roughly at 2 points. People of this age had no concept of saving. Only factories and state-owned enterprises would deposit large amounts of money in banks. After all, ordinary people did not have much spare money.
Now that he has some money, things are different. The interest rate of two percentage points is not low, and even a small amount is still a piece of meat.
Su Ye said: "I'll ask the accountant to pay the child's tuition. I'll make a charter first and list the income and expenditure details every month."
He said this without blinking, opened a bill for tuition expenses, tore off the bill for himself, and gave the rest of the bill to Zhou Yi.
As the income gradually increased, it was not appropriate for a half-grown child to manage such a large sum of money, so Su Ye handed the money over to Teacher He and Zhou Yi. He then made the financial details public and prepared to accept supervision from a "third party".
Teacher He asked curiously, "You don't care about money? I remember you were good at math."
I got full marks on the recruitment test, and even Zhou Yi said that my level was very good.
Su Ye smiled, patted Teacher He on the shoulder and said, "That's enough for you. I'll leave first."
…
Su Ye, the accountant, happily paid the tuition fees for ten third-year junior high school students and distributed the receipts to the children one by one. Only then did the children believe that they were really going to school.
Qian Xiaohe carefully put the credentials into her pocket and said to Su Ye gratefully, "Thank you, Teacher Su."
Ma Jianguo lowered his head, clenched his fists and said, "Thank you, Teacher Su."
The others had tears in their eyes, but he looked at the tuition receipt and couldn't help feeling a lump in his throat. He couldn't believe that this day would come.
Su Ye smiled and said to the children: "This is a joint effort of everyone. You must study hard and don't let everyone down."
"Thank you, squad leader!" he said in a low voice.
Yang Xue's eyes were red from working so hard to perform, and each of her thumbs was covered with scars. Hearing this, I felt warm in my heart, "Don't thank me, Teacher Su is the one who works the hardest."
Teacher Su guides him during the day, and checks the quality of his watches after school. His face is pale and he has lost weight.
Fortunately, Su Ye didn’t know what Yang Xue was thinking. If he knew, he would probably blush.
This was definitely not the result of his hard work under his guidance. During this period, Su Ye had been partying every night and eating so much meat that he suffered from indigestion and his heels seemed to be floating when he walked.
If women in their thirties are as fierce as wolves and tigers, then men in their twenties are like perpetual motion machines. Su Ye was temporarily unable to defeat Gu Xiangqian, so he had to raise the white flag and stop fighting for a few days.
Friday, after school.
After Su Ye finished an experimental class, he took half an hour to explain the principle of the radio. The classroom was packed with people, not only the classroom was full of people, but also the corridors were full of people.
The students who came to listen to the class were not only the third-year students, but also the second-year and first-year students, and even the middle school students. Hundreds of pairs of black grape-like eyes stared at him closely, not missing a single moment, listening to the class attentively, and copying every note on the blackboard into their exercise books without missing a word.
After class, Su Ye announced the end of school.
When I walked out of the school and was about to take the bus home, I saw a hint of green pine branches at the school gate.
Gu Xiangqian rang the bicycle bell, raised an eyebrow at Su Ye, and greeted her from a distance.
The teacher in the same office saw this scene and said, "Teacher Su, is that your lover over there? He's here to pick you up!"
The female colleague came close to Su Ye, looked at the man and said, "Teacher Su's lover is so handsome!"
That body, those legs, there is no other man as handsome as him on the whole street. Although he had heard that Su Ye was married, it was still the first time he saw his lover!
Teacher Su's lover just stood there doing nothing, but the people around him couldn't help but focus on him. Just from the way he was dressed and his demeanor, he was definitely not an ordinary person.
A female colleague said: "Teacher Su, you should ask him to pick you up more often in the future. He is so energetic! It makes people happy to see such a lively guy."
Under the gazes of teachers and students, Su Ye gritted his teeth and sat on the back seat of Gu Xiangqian's bicycle.
"Why did you come here out of nowhere?" Su Ye asked curiously.
Gu Xiangqian said calmly, "There is no training this afternoon, so I borrowed Mao Gang's car to pick you up. Are you seated firmly?"
He reminded, "Hold tight."
Su Ye then put his hand on Gu Xiangqian's waist, only grabbing a little bit of his clothes.
Gu Xiangqian was amused. This wife was like a ball of fire in bed, so hot that she wanted to burn people, but she was so cold after putting on clothes. The bicycle went down a slope, and Gu Xiangqian pedaled twice, and the speed of the bicycle seemed to fly.
Su Ye hugged him tightly nervously.
The corners of Gu Xiangqian's mouth curled up slightly.
The mercury-like sunlight fell on his body, and the voices of the young couple discussing what to eat for dinner were drowned out by the whistling wind.
"Su Ye, what do you want to eat? Do you want to go to the state-owned restaurant? We still have some food coupons and meat coupons here."
"You are a piece of shit, Gu Xiangqian, you don't even have the meat ticket to dare to dream of working in a state-owned restaurant. You'd better stay at home and eat your buckwheat buns!"
“… … of…” The faint murmurs were completely blown away by the wind.
…
Military district compound.
The news that Su Ye was tinkering with refurbishing watches at school soon spread to the compound.
The cause was that Liu Qiu bought a refurbished watch.
Anna saw that Liu Qiu bought a new watch and asked casually, "You have a new watch, how much is it? What brand is it? Let me see it."
Anna guessed that Liu Qiu must have been engaged, and the watch was given by the man. Otherwise, with Liu Qiu's not-so-rich family conditions, how could he get the money to buy a watch when he just graduated
Anna felt a little envious, but she couldn't afford a watch for the time being.
Liu Qiu overcame his psychological barriers and finally gave in to Su Ye for a watch. Although Su Ye said that the performance of each watch was similar, he still picked a Plum brand watch for himself. At this moment, he really couldn't let it go. Although the watch was not as new as when he first bought it, it didn't look old either.
He handed his wrist to Anna so that she could see it clearly.
"This is the Clubs brand."
Anna took a look and found it was indeed a Plum brand. Plum brand is an imported brand, a famous watch made in Switzerland, and the cheapest one costs more than 100 yuan. Liu Qiu actually met a man who looked so rich
Li Hongli took a closer look and immediately saw that what Liu Qiu was wearing was a fake.
"Cousin, look carefully. This watch is not new! Could it be that someone gave it to you as a gift from someone else who had worn it before?"
Liu Qiu hesitated for a moment, then remembered what Su Ye had said so solemnly about the significance of the refurbished watch, and immediately straightened his back and said, "It wasn't given to me by anyone, I bought it myself."
"It's not new, it's not from a department store, but it's more meaningful."
Liu Qiu took out the small note that came with the watch and said proudly, "This watch was made by a student from our No. 1 Middle School. Buying a watch means helping a child who has dropped out of school return to school."
"It's a high-end watch in a department store. It's new, but it doesn't mean anything to me. Besides, it only cost ten bucks."
Ten dollars? Anna's eyes widened when she heard this. Did the ten-dollar watch come from the wind? It's so cheap
My father and my cousin took the note and read it. When they saw that the signature was "Green Factory" and "Su Ye, a teacher at No. 1 Middle School", they were stunned.
"Why is it Su Ye again? Who did this?" Anna asked puzzledly.
"Can you afford this?" Li Hongli said disdainfully.
Liu Qiu nodded. During this period, everyone in the office praised Teacher Su like it was free, so he felt no pressure to praise Su Ye. He closed his eyes and randomly picked out a few sentences that made his ears sore and started to praise:
"Yes, it is indeed Teacher Su from our school."
"I was a science teacher and was very interested in mechanical parts. I tinkered with them all day. I taught students how to repair watches and radios... There were many students who dropped out of school in the third grade of junior high school, so I came up with the idea of refurbishing watches."
"With this little watch, I was able to recruit all the students who dropped out of junior high school. At least I made this much money—"
Liu Qiu stretched out a finger.
Although Liu Qiu had some psychological barriers when he boasted about being someone he once looked down upon, he agreed with Su Ye just because he could make so much money.
Who made us poor? The one thousand yuan bill was clearly placed on the table. That scene really shocked the poor people.
"One hundred yuan?" Li Hongli asked.
Liu Qiu shook his head. "More than that! It's one thousand yuan! This is the amount from last week. It won't be the same amount next week."
One thousand dollars
The carelessness and contempt in the two women's eyes turned into shock and doubt. How could Su Ye make so much money? Not to mention one year, even if he didn't eat or drink for two years, he couldn't make this much.
Liu Qiu said, "Why are you looking at me like that? We've known each other for so many years, do you think you'd lie?"
Li Hongli suddenly said seriously: "Earning so much money, isn't that just a normal economic activity? This is profiteering and speculation! Su Ye's is also a private activity, how dare he do this?"
Li Hongli really hated Su Ye. Recently, Su Ye always stayed with Gu Xiangqian, and they were very close. When Gu Xiangqian was training, he would always stop him outside the training area and even wipe his sweat shamelessly.
Li Hongli had secretly shown goodwill to Gu Xiangqian before, but he was like a blind man who didn't understand the situation, but he treated a rural woman who was inferior to her in every way. Su Ye was lazy and had a bad temper, and she dared to insult Gu Xiangqian in front of the soldiers. Gu Xiangqian didn't dislike her at all
He might as well have chosen Yao Chunyu in the first place! That way, Li Hongli wouldn't be so angry. Losing to Yao Chunyu wasn't shameful, but losing to Su Ye was a complete loss of face.
After hearing what Li Hongli said, Liu Qiu widened his eyes in surprise, as if he had heard something extraordinary.
He scratched his head for a while before asking, "What do you mean by speculation? This shouldn't count, right?"
If Su Ye was engaging in speculation, wouldn't that mean he was buying stolen goods
Liu Qiu thought for a moment and explained, "It shouldn't count. This is not something Su Ye did alone. This is something that many junior high school students did spontaneously. The money is not Su Ye's, and he doesn't make any money. What's the point of speculation?"
"The principal also supports it. It's not speculation, it's not..." Liu Qiu racked his brains for a long time and memorized it: "Buying short, hoarding, buying and reselling, are they ways to make a profit?"
Li Hongli listened and said slowly: "Even if it's not speculation, it's still improper. Let Su Ye stop doing this job as soon as possible. It's ridiculous to let a group of students follow you to make money. They are just after money."
Liu Qiu hesitated to speak. Only a fool would stop doing such a lucrative and meaningless job.
If I give you one thousand yuan, would you dare to say that you are not tempted
