A 1970s mom raises a cute baby, and a crazy boss spoils her

Chapter 26 Delivering lunch and selling watches

Gu Qinghuan found a secluded place and entered the space with his car.

The porridge in the pot is already soft, add some salt and chopped green onions for seasoning, and then it is ready to be served.

It’s not enough to just eat porridge, so Gu Qinghuan steamed another basket of frozen buns, nine in total.

I've been eating a lot of frozen buns these days, and the stock is almost gone.

Look through the refrigerator, take out two cucumbers, and make some smashed cucumbers. A pretty good lunch is ready.

But the amount she made was not much, after all, the hospital still had meal orders.

As usual, put it in a thermos bucket and lunch box and carry it in your hand.

Gu Qinghuan rode his bicycle to the inpatient department of the county hospital.

Coincidentally, as soon as she arrived at the ward, the staff from the cafeteria downstairs brought her food.

When he saw her coming over with a thermos, he praised her for being filial.

Gu Qinghuan was ashamed.

Only after seeing the people off did Gu Qinghuan put down the things he had brought.

"Mom, grandma, I cooked some lean meat porridge, steamed buns, and smashed cucumbers. You can choose whatever you like."

Including the patient meals delivered from the cafeteria, there is more than enough food for three people.

"Why are you here so early? Hmm, this porridge is so fragrant and smells delicious." Zhong Zijun came over and said with a smile.

It’s made from spiritual spring water, so it must be fragrant.

I hope that eating something made with the spiritual spring water can help her arm heal faster.

Gu Qinghuan filled half of the box and placed it in front of Zhong Zijun.

"If it smells good, eat more. Grandma, let me try my cooking, too."

The old lady next door said with envy: "Zijun, you are so lucky. Your daughter is filial. The porridge you make is so delicious."

Zhong Zijun didn't say anything polite but nodded seriously: "Huanhuan is very filial." Her daughter is the best.

"She is not only filial, but also a good cook and pretty. Look at her pretty face. I don't know which young man will marry her in the future."

The old lady's unintentional words made the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren silent.

Gu Qinghuan thought to herself, this old lady is talking about something irrelevant. She is worried now that the matter of marrying Xu Huaian will be reported to her grandfather and others sooner or later.

It’s chilling to think of the tragic ending in the book.

Because they are only marginal characters in the book, they are only mentioned in a few words, so we don't know exactly when they were exposed.

They must not be allowed to find out what happened from others. As you can imagine, it would be an extremely devastating blow.

Moreover, descriptions by outsiders are always exaggerated.

Gu Qinghuan decided that it would be safer for her to tell them herself.

It just takes a suitable time.

As for the silence of Zhong Zijun and Cheng Shuying, it was because this matter was also a heavy burden on their hearts.

Huanhuan is already twenty years old, the right age for marriage. She originally had a childhood sweetheart, but after something happened in her family, the boy took the initiative to cancel the engagement because he didn't want to ruin his future.

Trapped in this small world, what kind of family could she marry into?

In the past, there were plenty of young talents for her to choose from, but now, apart from the educated youth, there are only farmers.

And now, they are in such an awkward identity, which is a burden to their children.

She had received a good education and had seen a bigger and better world. How could she just waste her life like this?

Zhong Zijun even thought about letting her daughter go back and beg that unfaithful man to find a way to return to the city. It would be better than staying here.

Even a tiger does not eat its own cubs, so he would not be so cruel as to not care about the life or death of his own daughter.

Seeing that her grandmother and mother looked unhappy, Gu Qinghuan quickly changed the subject.

"Old lady, you should also try the porridge I made." Shut up.

The old lady also noticed something was wrong and quickly changed the subject back to the porridge: "Okay, okay, thank you, little girl."

It should have been a warm lunch, but everyone became unusually silent, each with their own thoughts.

But it was impossible to waste food, so they ate up all the food they brought.

After eating, Gu Qinghuan took the initiative to go out and wash the lunch box.

After that, I went to see Zhong Zijun's attending physician to find out more about the situation.

The old doctor was quite responsible. He told her in detail Zhong Zijun's current condition and the issues that should be paid attention to in the follow-up care.

She has recovered well in the past two days because she has received careful care, rested well, and with the addition of Lingquan chicken soup, her nutrition has also been adequate. If she continues to maintain this condition, I believe she will fully recover in two or three months.

Gu Qinghuan wrote down all the important information to prevent herself from forgetting it.

The old doctor nodded repeatedly, thinking what a filial child he is.

In the afternoon, Zhong Zijun still had the last few bottles of liquid to be dripped. Gu Qinghuan couldn't stay in the ward, so he made an excuse to go out to buy something and take a walk.

I thought that with space I wouldn’t have to worry about making money and could directly reach the peak of my life.

In the end, I still can't avoid worrying about money, even though I still have money in my pocket and I earned another four hundred today.

But the expenses are also high. There are so many elderly, weak and sick people to take care of, and I have to help relatives and friends from time to time. I have to find a way to make money.

Gu Qinghuan set his sights on the Plum brand watch he had bought before.

She can act as a middleman and earn the difference, buying for ten dollars and selling for two hundred dollars, which is a very profitable business.

However, she hasn't figured out how to sell it yet.

I was wandering aimlessly on the street and somehow ended up near a grocery store.

When she saw the middle-aged man directing the workers to move things around, an idea suddenly came to her mind.

Isn't this the son of the old lady in the ward? I've met him once before. I wonder if he has any idea about this business.

I quickly found a place to enter the space and placed an order for a Plum Blossom watch.

Wearing the newly acquired Plum Blossom watch, Gu Qinghuan found the old lady's son Lu Jianye. Perhaps because he had a relative in the same ward, Lu Jianye received Gu Qinghuan warmly.

He also invited her to his office for tea.

Gu Qinghuan didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

"Uncle, excuse me for disturbing you, but I have a business deal I want to do with you. Whether it succeeds or not depends entirely on your wishes."

Although Gu Qinghuan was dressed simply, she had a distinguished temperament and spoke with authority, which inexplicably gave people a sense of conviction.

Lu Jianye was also quite considerate. He did not refuse or agree immediately, but just looked like he was willing to hear more details.

Gu Qinghuan took out the watch she had prepared from the bag at hand and placed it in front of him.

When Lu Jianye opened the box, he found it familiar. It was the same Hongmei brand watch he used, and it was exactly the same.

"Hongmei brand watch, what is this?"

"Uncle, how much did you spend on this watch?" Gu Qinghuan asked instead of answering.

"Just over three hundred, what's wrong?"

"If I say that a friend of mine has a batch of these Hongmei watches, and they only cost 200 yuan each, and no industrial tickets are required, would you be interested?"

After Gu Qinghuan finished speaking, she stared at Lu Jianye's reaction nervously. To be honest, she was also betting that Lu Jianye was a smart businessman.

Gu Qinghuan’s words surprised Lu Jianye.

As the manager of a grocery store, he has a keen business sense.

Gu Qinghuan's meaning was very clear. She had a batch of low-priced watches that cost only two hundred yuan each and did not require a ticket.

If he could get it, there would be plenty of people willing to buy it even if he sold it for 250 bucks.

He could earn fifty yuan from each watch, which was equivalent to half a month's salary.

Others may not have the same connections, but he has a lot of them, so he has no worries about sales. The only thing is, I don’t know how many are in this batch, and whether he can finish them all.

Lu Jianye smiled like a businessman: "Niece, how many watches does your friend have in this batch? Are all of them in this quality?"

Gu Qinghuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she knew that she had won the bet.
