Military district compound.
Gu Xiangqian was examined at the military hospital and prescribed a week's worth of medicine. Among a group of pale and thin patients, he was the only one with a rosy complexion and full of energy.
Military doctors usually prescribe nutritional medicine for patients. However, due to the current food shortage, patients cannot find good nutritional supplements to replenish their energy. The hospital can only provide them with soybeans, fish bone powder and sugar to supplement their nutrition.
When it was Gu Xiangqian's turn, the military doctor paused and hesitated for a moment. Gu Xiangqian looked better nourished than his peers and did not look like a patient at all.
But after all, one cannot judge a book by its cover. He quickly wrote down the nutritional prescription, handed it to Gu Xiangqian, and reminded him: "Comrade Gu has recovered well. You must take the medicine on time and avoid strenuous exercise. Everyone should find a way to supplement your nutrition."
He remembered that Gu Xiangqian's medical record said he was married, so he added: "Remember to avoid sexual intercourse during this period."
Gu Xiangqian got the medicine from the pharmacy and immediately gave his nutritional prescription to a young soldier.
During this period, the house was constantly supplied with pork belly, eggs, bones, and milk powder. Gu Xiangqian was several pounds heavier than before he went to the hospital, so he had no use for it at all.
The young soldier suddenly handed a prescription to his leader. Everyone was stunned. He felt warm in his heart and ran to the pharmacy happily to get the nutritional powder.
"Thank you, thank you Gu Lian!"
Yao Chunyu saw this scene and felt warm in his heart. Gu Xiangqian has always been such a helpful comrade, kind-hearted, and resolute.
She took out three food coupons from her pocket.
During this trip, Yao Chunyu heard that Gu Xiangqian had donated all the belongings in his house. She deeply admired his decisiveness and foresight.
Yao Chunyu was born into a bourgeois family. She imitated Gu's actions and persuaded her parents to hand over all the things in the house that could be donated to the country. Of course, some of the real good things, calligraphy and paintings, gold and silver porcelain, and antiques were transferred by Yao Chunyu, and the worthless things were exchanged for food.
All the hot potatoes that had plagued the Yao family's labor reform in the past had turned into real food. Only one-third of the three-year natural disaster had passed, and there were still the most difficult years to go, so food was the most important thing.
Yao Chunyu, who had exchanged her property, had saved enough food for the whole family to last for several years. She was relieved of her worries and was in high spirits and rosy-faced these days.
She handed the food coupons in her hand to Gu Xiangqian, "Wait a minute, Xiangqian. This is for you."
Gu Xiangqian looked at the thirty kilograms of food coupons handed to him and frowned, not quite understanding what it meant.
Yao Chunyu said with a smile: "I was repatriated from the Soviet Union last year, and you asked my classmates in the Soviet Union to take me in. These food coupons are a thank you gift to you. Don't be polite. You need to get enough nutrition while you are recovering from your illness."
Su Ye is very lazy and gluttonous. In her previous life, she made a lot of trouble and no one in the whole compound knew about it. The last time Yao Chunyu was at Gu's house, she saw Su Ye squandering a pound of meat and half a pound of rice for a meal. Gu Xiangqian donated his family property, so how could he afford her extravagance
Gu Xiangqian said politely but distantly: "Comrade Yao, thank you for your kindness. You don't need the food coupons. It was Master Yao who asked me for help at that time, and he has already thanked me."
…
On the other side, Su Yegang and He Meimei said goodbye to each other and walked towards home.
When she reached the vicinity of the military hospital, she suddenly discovered Gu Xiangqian and Yao Chunyu standing together. They looked like a perfect match, talking happily. Yao Chunyu handed him something.
Seeing this scene, Su Ye felt as if his head was glowing green.
Although Gu Xiangqian and Yao Chunyu are a perfect match in the book, the drama makes Gu Xiangqian blind and amnesiac in order to bring them together. It would have been fine if Su Ye didn't want Gu Xiangqian before, but now she chooses to stay, and what she wants can only be hers.
She walked forward with a smile, hugged Gu Xiangqian's arm, and said to Yao Chunyu: "Comrade Yao, our family is not short of food for the time being, and we can still afford to eat, so there is no need for aid."
She leaned her head against Gu Xiangqian's chest and asked him affectionately, "Right, Xiangqian?"
Su Ye glanced at it with her peripheral vision, her eyes flashed, thirty kilograms of food coupons... Wow, as expected of a female protagonist from a big bourgeoisie, she spent dozens of kilograms of food coupons at once. How many assignments did she have to correct to earn so much food.
Su Ye's sudden attack made Gu Xiangqian's body suddenly stiffen. After a while, his palm fell on the black head and straightened her body. He frowned and stood still, making others laugh in vain.
He said simply, "Yes."
"Comrade Yao, it's getting late. We have to go home."
Yao Chunyu was stunned, his face suddenly turned pale, and he looked at the departing figures of the couple in front of him with a complicated expression.
Gu Xiangqian must not like someone like Su Ye, otherwise how could they have quarreled so much in their previous life and become the laughing stock of the whole compound? Yao Chunyu didn't want to wait for more than ten years, and the unsuitable marriage should end earlier.
Su Ye and Gu Xiangqian don't seem to be the same kind of people at all.
After they reached the bottom of the building, Su Ye shook off Gu Xiangqian's hand and ran upstairs.
Gu Xiangqian couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this scene. Thinking of Su Ye's pouting mouth just now, he couldn't help but laugh.
After returning home, Su Ye sat on the bed, put his hands on his waist and looked at Gu Xiangqian, "I'll give you a chance to explain."
Gu Xiangqian didn't say anything, but silently went to get a basin of water. He poured some hot water into the thermos, squatted in front of Su Ye, helped her take off her shoes and socks, and massaged her feet. Su Ye had attended several classes today, and her feet were stiff. Now he massaged her for a while, and she hummed with comfort, and her anger subsided a lot unconsciously.
She changed her mind and realized that Gu Xiangqian was not the kind of person who would cheat on someone.
Gu Xiangqian wiped Su Ye's feet with a towel, took out some coupons from the counter, and went to the cafeteria to buy a pound of spare ribs and two bags of tofu.
After the food was brought, he washed the rice and vegetables, stewed the tofu, and expertly cut the spareribs into small, even pieces. He sprinkled a circle of green onion, ginger, and garlic on them and fried them slowly over low heat, and finally poured the sauce thickened with starch on them.
On a hot day, he was dressed in pine green, buttoning his clothes meticulously until the last button. His thick and sharp eyebrows had beads of sweat running down his face, and his pair of long legs were eye-catching.
Su Ye was enjoying the sight, she knew very well how agile and strong the body wrapped in the thin cloth was. It was a pity that she could only look at it now, but could not move.
Gu Xiangqian has been so awkward recently. What is the point of talking to Su Ye about getting to know each other better? Isn't it just about falling in love? Although Su Ye is not good at falling in love, it is not impossible to study hard in order to have meat.
There are wolves in front and tigers behind, so you have to eat the fresh meat before you can feel at ease.
Su Ye leaned forward and kissed Gu Xiangqian, "Are you hot? I see you are sweating a lot."
Gu Xiangqian felt something soft against his back. A man's body is completely different from a woman's. He had no distracting thoughts like when he was back to back with his comrades. He just felt like he had hit a wall. When Su Ye pressed against him, it was very soft, like a sponge. A thin layer of red gradually appeared on his ears.
"It's crowded here, just take the dishes out."
Su Ye smiled and replied: "Okay!"
She shook her head in disapproval. "Just wear a vest at home. What if it gets too hot? Can I help you take off your clothes?"
Gu Xiangqian could stand standing in the hot sun, so how could he not stand this little temperature? He saw the light flashing in Su Ye's eyes, and his temples throbbed with pain, suppressing the complex darkness in his eyes.
…
The next day.
After Su Ye finished breakfast and went out, he was blocked by Yang Xue's father at the gate of the military area.
He held many watches in his hands, and looked worried and distressed. He clapped his hands and sighed, "Teacher Su, you finally made it out!"
"Look! My colleagues came to my house last night to ask for a refund. They said these watches were of poor quality and broke after just a few days of use."
Although ten yuan is not a lot, it is still a considerable expense for workers who only earn 20 or 30 yuan a month.
What's more, the economy is so difficult now. Last night, Yang Xue's father and his co-workers had a quarrel. Poor honest man couldn't sleep well the whole night. He came to the gate of the military area early in the morning to wait for Su Ye.
Su Ye first calmed Yang Xue's father down. She took over several watches and checked them one by one. She murmured, "I don't have the tools now. I'll take them to school to check later."
Before this, Su Ye had never seen so many watches returned at the same time. The quality of the watches they refurbished was very good, and some offices would only occasionally receive a large number of returned watches. Now the students mainly do the business of repairing radios and watches "trading old for new", and the refurbishment of watches is even less.
Logically speaking, there shouldn't be so many watches of substandard quality. Could it be that when she was producing a large number of refurbished watches, she was negligent and missed a check
Su Ye took the watches, opened his palm and asked Yang Xue's father: "Where are the invoices for these watches?"
Yang Xue's father was stunned for a moment, then slapped his thigh and said, "They were so excited yesterday that I forgot to ask them for the invoice."
This was also the first time that a watch in the Youyou factory was unqualified, and it was the first time that Yang Xue's father took a watch to Su Ye for "after-sales processing".
Su Ye said sternly: "Uncle Yang, I can't accept these watches now. You have to come to me with the invoices."
Teacher He revealed a long time ago that there are many people in the market who are making refurbished watches. Without the invoice, does anyone know if this watch is from them
Fortunately, Su Ye had made sufficient preparations beforehand and took the trouble to register each watch for each person. He remembered clearly in his notebook which watch was sold to whom, the invoice number, and the brand of the watch, so he was not afraid of being cheated in the future.
Yang Xue's father was not a fool, but he was a relatively honest person. He scolded her so harshly last night that he took all the watches away in a hurry.
After hearing Su Ye's words, he also figured it out. He slapped his head and said, "It was me who got confused in a hurry. Let me take it away first. I'll go ask them later."
Yang Xue's father picked up the dozen watches and said goodbye to Su Ye.
…
One.
Su Ye came to the office and on a whim asked Zhou Yi to show her the accounts.
Zhou Yi took out the account book for April and handed it to Su Ye. Su Ye admired the densely packed numbers on the account and closed the book with satisfaction.
Teacher He leaned over to take a look and said, "I want to see it, too."
Last month we made over 800 yuan in revenue, and this month we also received new businesses such as "trade-in for old" and "radio repair". With a new group of students joining the team, this month's accounts will surely look good.
Even if Mr. He had a good idea, he was dazzled by the numbers on the account. He was so shocked that he was speechless. "How can there be so many?"
Every day I see Zhou Yi counting money and going to the bank to deposit money when he has saved up a few hundred dollars. I never imagined that he would go to the bank every day without realizing it.
Why was Su Ye so calm when looking at the accounts? Teacher He was so shocked that he lost his voice. He rubbed his eyes and looked at it again, but the numbers were still the same.
"Yuan… "
The fee for repairing a radio ranged from 5 to 20 yuan, and the fee for replacing an old watch with a new one was 10 yuan, which meant that he repaired seven or eight radios/watches every day. If they were replaced with big black numbers, they would probably cover the entire teacher's desk.
Su Ye rolled up the test paper and knocked on Teacher He's head, "Keep your voice down and don't make such a fuss. Let's have a meeting this afternoon to discuss the use of this money."
Su Ye received a government subsidy, and the financial pressure was relieved. At present, it is not very useful to deposit the savings in the bank to earn interest.
Knowledge is priceless wealth. She plans to use part of the money to buy books to cultivate students' interests and broaden their horizons.
Books are the medium for transmitting knowledge.
