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

After giving Gu Qinghuan 3.2 yuan, Chen Fengqin and her sons still made a net profit of 18 yuan today.

You have to know that this has no cost at all, it just takes some labor, and you don’t even earn any work points.

The three of them, mother and two of her children, went to work to earn work points, but they only had about twenty work points a day. Even if each work point was one cent, it would only be two or three yuan at most, and it would make them exhausted.

Catching loaches is not a tiring job, it just tests your hand speed.

On the way back, the mother and her two sons had smiles on their faces all the time. They were happier than during the Chinese New Year. They planned to go catch loaches in the evening. It would be best if they could catch more eels, which are more valuable.

Chen Fengqin warned the children that this matter must be kept secret.

She knew that Gu Qinghuan was taking care of them, after all, she didn't even tell her in-laws.

If the matter of selling loaches were to be known by others, not only would the business be ruined, but it would also be difficult for Gu Qinghuan to trust them again.

The children also understood the twists and turns involved and nodded repeatedly to indicate that they would not leak it.

If someone asks, they will say that they are catching loaches to eat themselves because the family hasn’t had meat for a long time and they are craving for meat!

Fortunately, not many families in Xujiatun know about this, so the competition is not great.

If they work harder, they might be able to earn some money as a dowry for the boss.

The whole family is full of fighting spirit.

Gu Qinghuan had no time to rest that night.

After seeing Chen Fengqin off, Zhu Chunlin came over carrying two buckets.

I don't know where he caught them, but it seemed like he had poked an eel's nest. There was a whole bucket of eels and loaches.

There were many people in the Youth League Home and they were all gossipy. He didn't dare to carry the things back, so he hid in the woods outside and didn't dare to come out until dark.

"Comrade Zhu, you have disturbed the nest of eels. There are so many?"

It was really an unexpected success. Chen Fengqin's family spent a whole day searching for such a bucket, but they didn't expect that Zhu Chunlin caught a bucket of eels by himself.

God loves simple people.

"Hehe, I caught them on the river beach. Usually no one catches this thing to eat. The river beach is full of holes, and I accidentally caught so many!" Zhu Chunlin laughed.

Gu Qinghuan weighed him as usual.

"This bucket of eels weighs 22 jin in total, loaches weigh 20 jin, and the half bucket of loaches from yesterday weighs 15 jin.

By the way, I forgot to tell you the price yesterday. Eels are a bit more expensive, at 50 cents per pound, while loaches are cheaper, at 25 cents per pound.

All this comes to nineteen dollars and seventy-five cents."

"What?" Zhu Chunlin screamed in shock, startling the children in the room, who ran out and asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"

Only after Gu Qinghuan calmed them down did Zhu Chunlin come back to his senses.

Outside the door, Ji Linhai was also carrying a heavy load and was about to deliver it to Gu Qinghuan. When he heard the noise, he thought Gu Qinghuan was in trouble and was about to rush in.

Later, I heard her voice comforting the children, and then I realized that everything was fine.

In order to prevent others from knowing that Gu Qinghuan was close to him, he chose to hide behind the house and wait until Gu Qinghuan finished her work before coming in.

"I'm sorry, I must have scared the kids just now! It's really... the price is too high. I never knew loaches could be so expensive." Zhu Chunlin felt like he had missed out on 100 million.

“This is also due to some special reasons. Anyway, don’t ask too many questions and just focus on making money.

Don't slack off during this period. It's better to catch more eels than to earn eight or nine work points a day.

Just tell others that you are preparing to build a new house and are making adobe bricks, and no one will suspect you.

Make more money now and save it while you can. The baby will be born soon and there will be many places to spend money at home. You and Shengnan will have a better life." Gu Qinghuan advised.

"Thank you, thank you for thinking of us for such a good opportunity." Zhu Chunlin was not an ungrateful person. He knew that the other party was really trying to help them, so he thanked them sincerely.

Gu Qinghuan counted out nineteen yuan and seventy-five cents and handed it over.

Zhu Chunlin was so foolish that he only kept 9.75 yuan and directly returned 10 yuan to Gu Qinghuan.

"We will split it in half."

Gu Qinghuan stroked his forehead and sighed helplessly, then brought out what he had said to Chen Fengqin and advised him to take it back.

"I get kickbacks from the sellers when I sell things, so this belongs to you."

"How can that be? We agreed to split it in half. If you don't accept it, Shengnan will blame me when we get back."

Zhu Chunlin insisted on giving it to her. Since it was difficult to stuff it on his body, he just put it on the ground. Then he grabbed his bucket and walked out, running faster than a rabbit.

When he came over, Lin Shengnan had already told him that he had to split it in half.

Gu Qinghuan had given them a lot of things before, so they must not take advantage of them in this matter.

Gu Qinghuan was speechless. This fool was quite stubborn. Lin Shengnan really found a treasure. He was so obedient.

It was late at night and she didn't want to chase him out. She would return the money to Lin Shengnan later, or use the money to prepare some necessary daily necessities for them.

The last time I went to the educated youth site, I saw that they had a lot of bad things, so I bought everything for them to take home.

Thinking of this, Gu Qinghuan put the money away, planning in his mind to write down the amount.

As soon as Zhu Chunlin left, the courtyard welcomed the third guest of the day.

Ji Linhai came in carrying a bucket. The bucket he carried was not an ordinary bucket, but the largest bucket in the entire village.

Being sent down to the countryside for labor reform was no joke. His usual labor tasks were the heaviest in the village. Others carried ordinary buckets, but he carried the largest buckets. These were all basic operations.

“The stuff in these two barrels is from your mother. The stuff I caught today is still in the cowshed. I’ll make another trip later.

She said the tools you gave her are very useful and she caught a lot today.

I was thinking of going to take a look, but I didn't expect she caught so many, so I picked some for you first.

I have to go back to accompany her later. Looking at her attitude, I am afraid she will not be able to sleep tonight." Ji Linhai put down his carrying pole and said helplessly.

What should I do if my partner is only interested in money?

I can only accompany you!

Gu Qinghuan went to give Zhong Zijun batteries and tools in the morning. The tools for catching loaches were bought casually from a vending machine, and he didn't know if they would work well.

Unexpectedly, the tool was so useful. Zhong Zijun and his team caught two large buckets of catch in just one day.

She had originally planned to go check it out later, but she didn't expect Ji Linhai, her future stepfather, to be so thoughtful and had already helped to send it over.

That's great, it saves her the trouble.

"Uncle Ji, thank you for your hard work!" To be honest, Ji Linhai is a really great person, especially to Zhong Zijun, he is really caring to the core.

He may never have said love, but he really showed love everywhere.

Loving someone is hidden in the details of life.

When he noticed that Zhong Zijun's hands were chapped, he would give her clam cream, take all the time to help her with work so that she could rest, and stand behind her to support her with actions, which is better than saying "you have worked hard" ten thousand times!

If someone can understand the pain in your heart, it will automatically be reduced a little.

What really touches people's hearts is never the sweet words or expensive gifts, but the subconscious thoughts, the pity in the eyes, the invisible care, the souls that can communicate, and the peace that others cannot give.

Maybe God loves simple-minded people. Zhong Zijun, who had been a fool for half her life, finally found someone who understood her feelings.

In the past, Gu Qinghuan never thought that a partner was important. If the partner was right for her, she would love him/her. If not, she would live alone for the rest of her life, which was also very carefree.

But at this moment, she suddenly understood the meaning of a partner.

A person can live without children, but cannot live without someone who understands and loves you.

After all, a child only occupies a part of life. He will eventually grow up and have his own life. In the end, the only one who will accompany you until old age is your partner.

A good partner can reduce half of the sufferings in the world.

As a child, Gu Qinghuan suddenly realized that people have no control over many things after they become adults. They have their own lives and their own journeys.

The companionship and help she could give to Zhong Zijun was very limited. Apart from occasionally greeting her and sending money and supplies, there was really nothing else she could do.

How many children in this world can stay with their parents for their entire lives?

So, it’s really a good thing that Zhong Zijun has a good partner.

Gu Qinghuan was grateful to Ji Linhai from the bottom of her heart for doing things that she herself could not do.

"It's not hard, your mother is worth it." Ji Linhai's face was slightly hot.

He is not actually a very expressive person, he just expresses it silently through his actions, but he wants to tell his future stepdaughter that he doesn't think it's a big deal to do these things, because Zhong Zijun is worth it and she is very good.

Gu Qinghuan was caught off guard and fed a mouthful of dog food again, and it was from a middle-aged and elderly person.

Don't even know how to respond.

Uncle Ji, why are you so direct?

Fortunately, Ji Linhai left after he finished speaking. A few minutes later, he came back with two buckets of goods, which he had caught.

The two men decided to free up the bucket, otherwise they would have nowhere to put the loaches and eels they caught tonight.

Gu Qinghuan rummaged around the house and finally found a large abandoned stone jar behind the eaves. No one knew what it was used for, and it was now covered with moss.

The two men were both very strong, and together they carried it to the yard, washed it clean, and used it to load the goods.

Friendship is friendship, business is business.

Ji Linhai asked her to weigh the goods together and give all the money to Zhong Zijun, but Gu Qinghuan insisted on weighing their goods separately.

She knew Zhong Zijun, and she would not accept Ji Linhai's money.

Zhong Zijun's two barrels of goods, 28 kilograms of loaches and 25 kilograms of eels, cost a total of 19.5 yuan.

Among Ji Linhai's goods, there were fewer eels, a total of 15 kilograms of eels and 20 kilograms of loaches.

Zhong Zijun's family of three came together, so they had more goods. It was also very good that Ji Linhai could find time to get so much by himself. The total amount was twelve dollars and fifty cents.

Gu Qinghuan gave the money that belonged to Ji Linhai directly to him. Seeing that she was determined to give it, Ji Linhai had no choice but to accept it.

However, he and Zhu Chunlin agreed that the money should be split in half, after all, this was Gu Qinghuan's channel.

Gu Qinghuan was not so defensive towards Ji Linhai, and told him directly that she didn't need that little bit and asked him to accept it.

Ji Linhai needs money more now.

Ji Linhai understood what she meant, and finally he accepted the ten yuan after some persuasion, saying that the remaining two yuan and fifty cents were for Gu Qinghuan to buy candy for the two children.

Gu Qinghuan used to be a very decisive person, but since coming to this era, he has often been pushing things around for money, and sometimes even has to lie, which is extremely tiring.

Who made everyone so poor now? Let’s work hard to help everyone make money first!

Ji Linhai took the money and quickly picked up the bucket and left. He had to help Zhong Zijun. He was worried about a woman catching loaches in the fields late at night.

When he went, Zhong Zijun had someone to accompany her, so Gu Qinghuan felt relieved.
