Gu Xiangqian put his arm around Su Ye's waist, slowly sat on the stool, calmed down for a while, and then rubbed her head affectionately.
After a while, Gu Xiangqian lowered his head and said to Su Ye: "The recovery medicine I took has side effects. The doctor recommends not having children within six months after I stop taking the medicine."
His ears were still red as he spoke.
…
…
Su Ye was silent for a while. So that's how it is
This is a problem that is easy to solve. All it takes is a family planning product. But these days, people value having more children, more blessings, and more people means more power. Where can we find family planning products? In China, such products can only be found after the family planning policy was introduced in the 1980s.
The smile on Su Ye's face began to fray, and she stood up and hurriedly put away the uncorrected homework.
Gu Xiangqian finally smiled and said, "Please spare a week during the summer vacation. I will also take a leave to visit my family and take you to Shanghai to meet your uncle."
"You've never been to Shanghai, right?"
Although Gu Xiangqian's parents were gone, he was not born out of thin air, and he had no relatives. He had a brother on his mother's side. During the Chinese New Year, Gu Xiangqian told her that he wanted to go to Shanghai to visit his relatives, but Su Ye didn't live with him at that time, so how could she agree
Su Ye nodded, "Okay, I have to prepare what my uncle likes early."
Gu Xiangqian stroked her hair and said, "No, it's okay for her to be gone."
…
The other side.
Guo Aiguo secretly distributed the food he bought to his grandmother and eldest brother's families, and Fang Shi also gave some to her mother's family.
The Su family never had to worry about having no fine grains to eat, and Su Lina never asked Yao Chunyu to buy food again.
The Su family is a wealthy business family in the region, and Su Lina is considered to be one of the better-off students Yao Chunyu knows. Yao Chunyu originally thought that he could exchange food for the small yellow croaker in her hands, but he only exchanged once, and Su Lina never contacted her again.
Yao Chunyu went to find Su Lina once, and Su Lina helplessly spread her hands and said, "There's nothing I can do. My grandmother is quite traditional, and she values gold bars more than her life. Sorry, I can't buy food from your friend."
What else could Yao Chunyu say? He could only smile and say, "It's okay. If you need some fine grain in the future, come to me. The grain seller is still here, and I can still contact him for you. He will leave next year."
She gritted her teeth and made the harsh words, but unexpectedly Su Lina remained unmoved.
Finding a shop where she could exchange gold bars did not have much impact, but Yao Chunyu felt a little uneasy, so she went to find Fang Xiu Lian, who often asked her about food.
She said to Fang Xiulian, "I know a way to buy fine grain. There is a man who sells fine grain, but he only accepts gold bars."
Fang Xiulian had just received a pound of rice from her cousin at a low price of two yuan. After hearing what Yao Chunyu said, she shook her head without saying anything: "It's too expensive. I don't have that much money."
Fang Xiulian was very happy to know that Yao Chunyu had a way to buy food. If she had not obtained the high-quality and low-priced fine grains from her cousin, she might have really gone to Yao Chunyu.
But here she is… Three catties of fine grain in exchange for a small yellow croaker, how dare she do that! Fang Xiulian had no choice but to refuse.
The smile on Yao Chunyu's face froze. He didn't expect that the fine grains that were always popular would be rejected repeatedly on the same day.
As far as Yao Chunyu knew, Fang Xiulian's family was not short of money. Both her parents' and her husband's families were well-off. In addition, the couple were both only children, so their lives were very enviable. Li Maogang himself was better off than Gu Xiangqian, except that he developed a little slower than Gu Xiangqian.
Gu Xiangqian donated all his property to the country, and was still willing to spend his salary on Su Ye, who ate candy, biscuits, milk powder, and malted milk every day. How could a wealthy young man like Li Maogang treat Fang Xiulian badly
The current gold price is not expensive, and exchanging a small yellow croaker for a pound of fine grain is already a very cost-effective deal. Yao Chunyu intuitively feels that something is wrong.
Fang Xiulian called her husband, and Li Maogang responded with an "Hey", then came out of the kitchen and brought the hot roast duck to the dining table. There was also white porridge made from rice on the table, which was hot and had a faint aroma, and looked very delicious and tempting.
Roast duck... Yao Chunyu's eyelids twitched subconsciously.
The legend of "duck" has been buzzing in Yao Chunyu's ears these past two days. This word has appeared so frequently that whenever she sees a duck, she reflexively associates it with the incident of Su Ye picking up a duck.
She smiled and said to Fang Xiulian, "It's almost time for dinner. I have something else to do, so I won't bother you any more."
It took Fang Xiulian a long time to recover from her surprise after Yao Chunyu left.
In fact, what Fang Xiulian and Su Ye talked about today was Yao Chunyu selling grain. She suspected that Yao Chunyu had hidden a lot of grain, and she had suspected it for a long time.
Yao Chunyu came back from the suburbs in a hurry that day and didn't notice at all that Fang Xiulian found rice grains on her clothes. She observed Yao Chunyu for a long time.
Fang Xiulian and Su Lina were indirect relatives with different surnames. If her cousin Fang Xishi had not chatted with her and casually mentioned that her cousin's family had exchanged gold bars for grain, Fang Xiulian might not have realized that Yao Chunyu was selling grain.
Cousin Su spent a small yellow croaker to buy three kilograms of food, and was scolded by her grandmother. In addition, the Su family no longer lacked food, so cousin Su would definitely not ask Yao Chunyu for food again. Unexpectedly, Yao Chunyu hit a snag with cousin Su and turned to her.
Fang Xiulian discussed with her husband in a low voice: "I suspect Comrade Yao is selling grain. Last time I found rice grains on her body. They were all over her pants and legs, and her body was also covered with rice dust."
Li Maogang did not deny it and said, "Eat your own food and don't mind other people's business. We haven't learned a lesson from the last incident with my sister-in-law. Don't make blind guesses without evidence."
He paused, lowered his voice and said seriously: "I know about this matter. Don't talk to anyone else in the future. You can only talk to me. You are very sensitive at this time, do you know?"
Fang Xiulian was so curious that she tickled her husband and said, "I was just talking to you. I didn't mean to write a letter of denunciation! Do you think I'm the kind of person who would secretly report others?"
Li Maogang stroked his wife's head and said with a smile, "Of course not. Our Xiulian is bold and careful, and is good at discovering things that others don't know. Come and eat roast duck. I have to say that my sister-in-law's cooking skills are top-notch."
Apart from other things, anything delicious from Su Ye always escaped Fang Xiulian's eyes. She would give whatever people liked, and she could always cater to their tastes. If there were some rare things that could not be bought elsewhere, it would be right to ask her for help. This cleverness of adapting to the situation would definitely have made her a good businessman in the past.

Wednesday, No. 1 Middle School.
Su Ye came to school and discussed with He Meimei about Lu Siyuan's review. If Lu Siyuan was lacking in science, Su Ye would be able to help him.
The difficulty is that his language, ideology and politics are not good, which is a subject that even Su Ye has to make up for. As everyone has his own specialty, Su Ye had no choice but to ask He Meimei for advice.
He Meimei listened to Su Ye's description, as if the Lu Siyuan she heard from Su Ye was not the same person as the Lu Siyuan she had known for three years.
"Is it really as good as you say?" If it were so good, the teacher would have treated it like a treasure.
Su Ye mentioned that he had a headache. "I can't help it. You have to do me a favor and spend half an hour after school every day to tutor him. He is very smart. While teaching him, you can also help the group of people in the class with their science. We don't have any big problems in science anymore."
He Meimei finally agreed after hearing the second half of the sentence. It was not a big honor to give Lu Siyuan individual tutoring, but she would be willing to help the poor students in the class with their language skills.
It's unacceptable that Su Ye worked so hard to improve her students' grades, but He Meimei's Chinese language subject fell behind, she would feel guilty about that.
"It just so happens that our group has also finished compiling the review notes for language, ideology and politics. We will print a copy in each class and pass it around so that students can copy it down and recite it by heart every day."
After school that afternoon, Su Ye came to patrol from time to time at the back of the classroom, occasionally solving a problem for the students in the class. After answering a question, Su Ye glanced at the data in the background.
Food prices are rising steadily and the growth trend is good.
Su Ye saw through the window that Yang Chenxing was seriously reciting the ancient scriptures. Although the boy sitting nearby was scratching his head and ears while reciting the scriptures, he managed to say a few words.
After He Meimei finished tutoring and let them go, the young people who couldn't even recite the ancient scriptures finally breathed a sigh of relief. Xu Le said to them with a sullen face, "How dare you leave after you finish your homework? You have the graduation exam in half a month. Can you pass it?"
When Su Ye passed by the playground, he saw a boy still running around the playground. He asked in surprise, "Why aren't you going back?"
A boy in the group said with a smile: "How can it be so easy! What if I don't get the certificate, I will be poor and ugly for the rest of my life?"
Another boy said: "Yang Chenxing said that if you can't recite it, running will help your brain work better and you will remember it more clearly, hahahaha."
The sunset was beautiful, dyeing the faces of these people red. Su Ye couldn't help but curled his lips and smiled.
…
Changyou Grain and Oil Factory.
Zheng, the team leader of the workshop, was inspecting a batch of oil presses imported from abroad. Before signing his name after the inspection, out of his rigorous habit, he checked every part from beginning to end.
Turbine shaft, turbine, transmission shaft, gears... When they checked a key part, a fat leader in blue work clothes came over.
He smiled and said to Zheng: "Have you signed the order? The foreign engineers are urging our factory to get the acceptance form. Only after we sign it can they teach us how to use it."
He continued, "Director Lu has personally visited a foreign country to inspect this batch of goods. It's fine. Don't make them unhappy. People attach great importance to the concept of time."
Secretary Zheng was getting anxious and was about to stare blankly when he saw the deputy director pick up a pen and write his name directly.
…
Secretary Zheng woke up from his dream with sweat all over his forehead. Although there was no wind and the temperature was not high on that summer night, he felt as if he had been fished out of the water.
The wife beside him was also woken up, and muttered in disgust: "What's the matter with you in the middle of the night?"
Secretary Zheng wiped his sweat and said weakly, "Nothing, I just suddenly remembered something and I was very nervous. Didn't our factory import a batch of machines? It cost 180,000 yuan. The mayor allocated funds, and the factory director used the factory's profits this year to buy these machines. Many workers in the factory were laid off this year. How can we have any profits to mortgage? What if something goes wrong...
I was the one who checked that batch of machines. I always felt that something was wrong with Deputy Yu. Why did he check the machines for no reason? This is not his business. If I had been more careful, I would have told the factory manager earlier. Maybe I was too tired today, and I was restless, and I kept dreaming about bad things. "
He kept mumbling to himself over and over again, and his wife became impatient and fell asleep again.
