The pretty educated youth became the favorite of the soldier king

This little episode did not affect Gu Xiaoqi's good mood today. She buried her head in her scarf as the ox cart wobbled as it drove to the county town.

Gu Xiaoqi first went to the post office, and sure enough, there was a package mailed from Beijing.

It was a package sent by Wu Xiuli. She learned that Gu Xiaoqi had all the necessary thick clothes and quilts here, so she only sent some snacks and nutritional supplements, fashionable hairpins and beautiful underwear.

There was also a letter in the package, saying that Zhou Hao was asked to pick her up the day before the Chinese New Year and asked her to wait for him at home.

Gu Xiaoqi put the letter in his pocket and walked out of the post office with the package.

When he came out through a small alley, Gu Xiaoqi no longer had the package on him.

Gu Xiaoqi walked into the supply and marketing cooperative and picked out a simple purple and pink scarf as a gift for Feng Jiajia.

While chatting, I heard Feng Jiajia inadvertently say that she was going to celebrate her birthday, but she had never celebrated her birthday.

In the past, no one paid attention to Gao Limei’s birthday at home every year. When Feng Jiajia was young, she didn’t understand. Later, when she grew up, she attended Gao Limei’s birthday party once.

Only then did she realize that celebrating birthdays was a ritual, with beautiful clothes, exquisite jewelry, gorgeous flowers and a birthday cake that she had never seen or eaten before.

That's something only rich people can eat.

When Gu Xiaoqi heard Feng Jiajia say this, he felt envy, jealousy and anticipation, but those emotions were fleeting. Then Feng Jiajia said, it was just a sigh.

However, the longing and loss in his eyes were still faintly revealed.

Gu Xiaoqi couldn't help but think of herself. How similar was this scene of Feng Jiajia to her?

She had never celebrated her birthday in the first few decades of her life. When birthday cakes became popular, she had gotten used to her disability and had a relatively stable job. Although she didn't earn much, it was enough for her to have enough food and clothing.

She just bought a flower-patterned cake for her birthday.

She thought the birthday cake was delicious, but she still didn't feel the joy of her birthday.

She vaguely remembered that she was working as a nanny in Lin Zhenzhen's home at that time, and she and Lin Zhenzhen had the same birthday.

At that time, she didn't know that Mr. and Mrs. Lin were her biological parents, and she didn't know that Lin Zhenzhen was the girl who took away her original life.

On her birthday, Lin Zhenzhen wore a beautiful pink princess dress and an exquisite diamond crown on her head, like a real princess, proud and confident! Gu Xiaoqi stared at her with envy in his eyes.

The birthday party was very grand, and dignitaries from all walks of life came to congratulate her. Lin Zhenzhen's birthday presents piled up into a small mountain.

After the party, Lin Zhenzhen frowned as she looked at the gifts scattered all over the floor. She directed several nannies to open them all, and Gu Xiaoqi was one of them.

After all the gifts were opened, Lin Zhenzhen looked at them one by one and then had them taken to her room. At that time, Lin Zhenzhen received a cute teddy bear and felt a little disgusted.

"Who is so old-fashioned? Who wants to receive such an ugly doll for their birthday?"

As he said that, he threw it to the ground. Gu Xiaoqi picked it up with a bit of heartache, brushed the dust off the teddy bear, and handed it back to Lin Zhenzhen.

"Do you like it?" Lin Zhenzhen did not answer, but asked with her chin raised.

When Lin Zhenzhen saw Gu Xiaoqi's unconcealed love for her, she mocked him in her heart, thinking that he was indeed from the country.

Gu Xiaoqi nodded and answered honestly: "Yeah! I like it!"

"Hmph~ Bumpkin! I'm in a good mood today, so I'll give it to you!"

After saying that, he took the teddy bear from Gu Xiaoqi's hand and threw it at Gu Xiaoqi's feet as if it were garbage.

His eyes flashed with amusement, and he motioned Gu Xiaoqi to bend down and pick it up.

Gu Xiaoqi really didn't have any pride at that time. She was inferior, timid, and a completely humble existence.

She was just a babysitter! So she bent down and picked up the cute teddy bear.

How ironic! Gu Xiaoqi’s first birthday present was actually given by Lin Zhenzhen.

The memories were clearly engraved in Gu Xiaoqi's mind. Every time he thought of her, he got angry with himself. Why did he submit to his enemy?

Then, Gu Xiaoqi's eyes were filled with brilliance.

Lin Zhenzhen, cherish the good days you have left!

Your bad luck is coming soon!

Gu Xiaoqi bought some candies, cakes, peanuts and melon seeds, picked up a big bag of oranges, and cut several large pieces of red paper to write couplets during the New Year. The rest could be used to make lanterns.

Aunt Guizhi's mother is ill and has been busy and has no time to come to the county. It is almost the end of the year and the next is the Little New Year. Gu Xiaoqi thought about buying the things directly.

After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, they went straight to the state-owned restaurant. Maybe it was before the New Year, so there were quite a lot of people in the state-owned restaurant. Looking at the situation, Gu Xiaoqi couldn't order any more.

Finally, we ordered two servings of braised pork, one serving of fried pig ears with chili peppers, one serving of mixed seafood, and 6 meat buns to be packed up.

When they arrived at the alley, Gu Xiaoqi went straight into the space, sorted the things and put them into the backpack, and added some pork, beans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

Then he took the two meat buns and left the space, carrying an empty backpack and eating as he walked.

She likes this feeling. The weather outside is very cold, but when she holds hot food in her hands and eats it bite by bite, it warms her whole stomach. Soon her whole body is warm, making her feel extremely happy.

Gu Xiaoqi was going to the black market to buy some more fine grains. Fine grains were now in limited supply and required a ticket. He couldn't buy more, so he had to go to the black market.

However, the black market was strictly checked before the New Year, but Gu Xiaoqi was not afraid. She had the space. If someone really came to catch her, she was strong and could run fast, so she could just enter the space and drive away.

Gu Xiaoqi walked towards the north and saw two people guarding the door behind a secluded park.

Gu Xiaoqi approached the two men. They looked at him warily and asked, "Buy or sell?"

"purchase!"

There was no entrance fee to buy things. The two men looked at each other, and when they saw that the other didn't notice anything wrong, they let Gu Xiaoqi in.

There were people walking on both sides, and everyone was dressed in a daze, communicating with their eyes and whispering from time to time.

There are also people squatting on the side waiting for someone to ask. Generally, the things packed in urea bags are likely to be fine grains.

Gu Xiaoqi saw two urea bags, one large and one small, in front of an old man.

Gu Xiaoqi walked over and said, "Uncle! Is this fine grain?"

The old man looked at the person in front of him carefully and cautiously. Hearing that the voice was a woman, he was relieved and whispered: "Yes, rice and flour!"

As he said that, he opened the urea bag a little and let Gu Xiaoqi look inside. Gu Xiaoqi took a look inside and found that the quality was quite good.

"How to sell it?"

"Rice is 35 cents a pound, and flour is 40 cents a pound! You don't need food coupons for this price, and it's almost the end of the year, so it's not expensive! This is all good new rice this year, not old!"
