Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

Gu Jiu didn't dare to refute and just poured the water obediently.

Lin Shu drank some water, and considering that she had no food in her stomach, she drank half a bowl of taro soup. After Liu Xiao'e settled her down, she asked Gu Jiu to take her back to rest.

On the way back, Gu Jiu rode a 28-inch bicycle and from time to time glanced at Lin Shu who was riding a women's bicycle beside him, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Lin Shu looked at him with amusement, knowing that he must have guessed something, but was not sure, so he put on this look, "Ask if you have anything to ask."

Gu Jiu gripped the handlebars nervously, "Are you the one..."

"Which one?"

"Pregnant?"

Lin Shu glanced at him calmly, then turned to look forward again, "How could you think that I was pregnant instead of having a stomach problem?"

Lin Shu's expression was so calm that Gu Jiu had the illusion for a moment that he might have guessed wrong.

But thinking of the reactions of my sisters-in-law in the past, I felt more certain. "If mom hadn't reminded me today, I might have ignored it. But after she reminded me, I thought of the reactions of my sisters-in-law in the past. You are somewhat similar to them."

Lin Shu thought that Gu Jiu had three sisters-in-law and one sister. Anyone who was not stupid would pay attention to the situation of his sisters-in-law if he stayed at home.

She thought about the possibility that the child in her belly was a big baby from her previous life, and she began to look forward to it. Her eyes softened, "You guessed right, I might be pregnant."

Gu Jiu automatically ignored the word "maybe". When he heard that she was pregnant, he was so excited that he couldn't control the front of the car, causing it to swing wildly.

Lin Shuzhen was worried that he would fall into the ditch beside the road, so she joked, "Be careful, don't fall into the stinky ditch beside the road."

After stabilizing the handlebars of the bicycle, Gu Jiu's mind was still blank. It could be said that he was completely confused.

A few months ago, he was still a young man in fine clothes and riding a horse. How come such a short time has passed and he has become a father?

He thought the world was amazing.

After returning home, Lin Shu sat on the reclining bike to rest. Gu Jiu immediately went to pour warm water and get some snacks.

After that, he squatted in front of Lin Shu, stroked her belly, and asked stupidly: "Is she really pregnant?"

Hearing this, Lin Shu rolled his eyes at him and said, "You work so hard every night, don't you know what's going on?"

These straightforward words made Gu Jiu's cheeks hot, but he was still happy in his heart, "I don't mean anything else, but I still can't believe it. I thought marriage meant living in a world of two, but I didn't expect to welcome a little life so soon."

Catch him off guard when he has no preparation at all.

Lin Shu leaned over and pinched his nose. "It's only been less than two months. There's still seven or eight months of buffer time. You should slowly adjust your mentality. When the baby is born, you will be waiting for him to be taken good care of."

Gu Jiu nodded: "I will study what I don't understand. Are you tired now? Do you want to go to bed and take a nap?"

"Well, I'm going to take a nap. There's nothing to do at home. You should go back to the store to help. I don't know if they can handle it in the store." Lin Shu got up and walked towards the bedroom, waving his hand to send them away.

"There's no way there are two people in the store who can't handle it. Besides, my mother-in-law will help them cook, so I'll stay at home with you."

After Lin Shu lay down, Gu Jiu also stayed on the bed and refused to leave.

Lin Shu stared at him helplessly. "Even if you don't go this afternoon, you have to go and make some arrangements in the store so that they know what's going on. Besides, you're going to give everything to my mom right after she comes here? There's no food in the store over there. You're going to ask her to cook air at night?"

"My mother-in-law should know to take the money to the market to buy vegetables." Gu Jiu's guilty eyes looked a little dizzy.

Lin Shu glared at him: "My mother is unfamiliar with the city. If you ask her to go to the market to buy vegetables right after she arrives, what if she gets lost?"

"Um, um..." Gu Jiu got up from the bed, "You have a good sleep at home, I will come back to cook in the evening, is there any food at home?"

"I bought a lot this morning. There are two fish in the kitchen. You can take one and some pickled vegetables to the store. My mother will watch over the cooking."

"Okay, I'll bring the food over, you take a good rest." Finally, Gu Jiu took a deep look at her belly, tidied the quilt, turned around and went to work.

As he took the dishes out of the kitchen, he still had some complaints in his heart. He had originally opened a small shop, thinking that making money would be better than going up the mountain to collect herbs, but in the end, his daily income was less than that from running in the mountains.

Gu Jiu felt that he had suffered a great loss.

In the past, when I went hiking, I could stay with my wife every day. It was easy and stress-free in the mountains. Now that I run a small store, my daily tasks are more tedious than before.

As soon as Lin Shu woke up, he heard some noise in the kitchen. He walked in and found that it was Gu Jiu who was busy inside.

"When did you come back?"

"I just came back not long ago. I'm cooking millet porridge. I'm going to make some dumplings to go with the porridge in the evening."

Lin Shu saw Gu Jiu rolling dough expertly. It would be a lie to say he wasn't shocked. "That's pretty good. Look at your skilled movements. You must have rolled dough a lot before, right?"

Gu Jiu shook his hair in front of his forehead arrogantly, "Don't look down on me. My family lived in the north for a few years before. At that time, my mother often asked me to accompany her to make dumplings."

Lin Shu didn't expect that the Gu family had stayed in the north for a few years. He thought they had been staying in the provincial capital since they left the county town.

Knowing that she was suspected of being pregnant, Lin Shu was forced to rest at home for a few days. She did have morning sickness, but it was not obvious. She only felt nauseous when she ate something that did not suit her taste occasionally.

Gu Jiu was still worried, so he took her to the hospital for a check-up. It was confirmed that she was almost fifty days pregnant, which made him very happy.

Suspicion and confirmation are two completely different states of mind. The uneasy mood I've been feeling these days has finally come to an end, and I feel relieved.

After confirming that she was really pregnant, Gu Jiu had more reason to stay at home with Lin Shu and refused to go to the store to help.

Within two days, Gu Jiu asked Dongfa to invite his father-in-law to come to the store to collect money, and he completely handed over the management of the store to them.

Lin Dashan was a little uncomfortable at first, but after just two days in the store he gradually became familiar with the business and got acquainted with the neighbors. He felt like a fish in water.

While selling things and collecting money, he can also chat with the neighbors around him, reminiscing about the good and bad times, and talk about his youthful days with great enthusiasm.

Liu Xiao'e is responsible for three meals a day for everyone in the old house, and Gu Jiu delivers fresh vegetables every day.

As for those who helped to collect herbs, since Lin Shu became pregnant, she asked them to process and dry the herbs before sending them to her. The price was based on the processed herbs, so the price was naturally doubled.

Although it is a bit troublesome to process, dry and send the medicinal materials up, it is more convenient for Lin Shu.

If the herbs are not fresh, there is no need to go to the old house every day to find an excuse to process them.

Lin Shu stayed at home these few days and made clothes with all the cloth he cut last time.

In addition to several sets of underwear, he also made two shirts, two suits and two woolen windbreakers for Gu Jiu, one black and one dark blue, and the styles were naturally those of later generations.

After letting Gu Jiu try it on, the size and style were very suitable. Looking at the tall and straight man standing in front of her, Lin Shu exclaimed in her heart: "As expected, clothes make the man, and the saddle makes the horse. With this outfit, he is no worse than those popular stars in later generations. He is simply a walking hormone."

"What's wrong? This dress doesn't look good on me?" Gu Jiu stretched his arms and legs and felt that his pants were a little tight. "Are these pants too small?"

Lin Shu's eyes lit up: "This is exactly the effect I want. If the pants are too loose, it will be like a child wearing an adult's pants. What's the point of it?"

Besides, these fabrics were bought from the system mall. They are more comfortable to wear than the fabrics of this era, and they are also a bit stretchy so they won't burst in the crotch.

Lin Shu's amazing look pleased Gu Jiu, and he asked with a smile: "You made so many clothes for me, what about you?"

"I made two wool trench coats, two pairs of cashmere wide-leg pants, and two A-line skirts myself."

This also includes fashionable sweaters that I used to knit at home.

Lin Shu admired his 1.80-meter tall figure for a while, and then changed into a new set of clothes, a short tweed windbreaker with wide-leg pants, and half-high-heeled leather shoes. Standing next to Gu Jiu, she finally didn't look so inferior.

It’s just that their hair doesn’t really match these two sets of clothes.

Hers is okay, just a little long. If she puts it in a bun at the back of her head, it looks okay.

Gu Jiu's hairstyle is the 3:7 split that was popular in that era. It's a bit long. He would look more handsome if it was cut a little shorter.

"Is your hair too long? How long has it been since you had a haircut?"

Gu Jiu stood in front of the dressing mirror and stroked his hair. "It's okay. It wasn't cut long ago."

I was mesmerized by my own handsome appearance.

"It's too long. Let's trim it."

Lin Shu pulled Gu Jiu out regardless, as her hair was too long.

"My hair is not long. Do you want me to cut it into a buzz cut?" Gu Jiu resisted, but did not dare to really resist, for fear of hurting the baby in her belly.

Finally, Gu Jiu was dragged to a nearby barber shop by Lin Shu.

The master barber in the barber shop, following Lin Shu's description, gave Gu Jiu a simple, short and fashionable haircut. The master barber also helped him apply mousse, and then matched it with the suit made by Lin Shu. This is definitely the younger brother in the short videos of later generations.

Tsk, when she watched short videos before, Big Data would always automatically push dancing videos of handsome young men. At that time, she would always greet Big Data and ask, is it appropriate to push such videos to a single old lady?

Tsk, I just wonder if letting Gu Jiu dance will have the effect of a short video?

"Hey, are you fascinated?" Gu Jiu waved his hands in front of her eyes with amusement, "Why do I feel like I look more like a street urchin after this haircut?"

Although he said that he disliked it, he would stroke his hair from time to time, and look at himself in the mirror again and again, with an appreciative look and satisfaction in his eyes.

"I think it looks good." Lin Shu coughed awkwardly. He looked so cool and handsome that he almost dazzled her.

The old master was very satisfied with Lin Shu's reaction. He coughed twice to remind them, "Young man, your hairstyle is really nice. Why don't you take a photo as a souvenir and send one to me. I will waive the haircut fee for you?"

"You can keep it as a souvenir, but forget about sending it to you for everyone to admire. We don't need the money for a haircut." Gu Jiu took out two cents and gave it to him.

Haircuts were really cheap in this day and age, only 1.8 cents for a haircut. For the sake of 1.8 cents, he was willing to put his beautiful photos here for people to admire.

To be honest, it costs more than 1.8 cents to develop a photo. If the old master thought they were young people who liked to show off, then he was wrong.

Lin Shu asked the master to help her trim her hair shorter. Her hair now reached her hips, and it would be about the same if she cut it to waist length.

Gu Jiu felt a little sad when he saw her cutting her long hair, "It's a pity to cut your hair so long."

"It's too long and hard to manage. I want to cut it to below the shoulder bone."

Gu Jiu gestured with his hands and immediately shook his head: "Then it should be waist-length. The shoulder blade position is too short. It doesn't give the feeling of long flowing hair."

The old master waited until they had discussed it before he started. However, when he saw Lin Shu's appearance in the mirror, he smiled and asked, "Young people are chasing fashion. How about I curl your hair?"

Lin Shu waved her hand: "Thank you, no need, just cut it a little shorter."

After the haircut was completed, Lin Shu tied a high ponytail at the back of her head. Looking at her beautiful and youthful image in the mirror, she raised her eyebrows and smiled: "It still looks good without a perm. The ears still need two big earrings."

Gu Jiu embraced her and said, "How about we go to the department store and buy some jewelry?"

Speaking of jewelry, Lin Shu was quite excited. "Let's go take a look?"

Gu Jiu paid for the haircut, took her in his arms and walked out, "Let's go."

The handsome men and beautiful women will attract 100% of the attention when they walk down the street.

Lin Shu sat on the back of the bicycle, hugged Gu Jiu's waist, and noticed the gazes of passers-by. He felt a little nervous, "Do you think we are being too high-profile?"

"Given by my mother and raised by my father, I can't grow up like this. We can't go out with a scarf on our faces just to avoid being noticed, right?" Gu Jiu said indifferently, thinking of the two of them going out with a piece of cloth covered, "If we show up in a department store with a scarf on our faces, do you think others will arrest us as robbers?"

Lin Shu thought of that scene and couldn't help but frown, "It's possible."

"Haha...that's it."

The two arrived at the department store, and Gu Jiu took Lin Shu straight to the gold and silver jewelry counter on the second floor.

Gu Jiu's aura of a domineering president was really intimidating. He ran his fingers across the counter, "This, this... and that, take them all out."

Lin Shu went closer to the counter and saw bracelets, necklaces, rings and earrings. The salesperson brought out more than a dozen items.

"Wife, look at this bracelet, isn't it pretty? And this necklace will definitely look good on you." Gu Jiu took a bracelet and put it on her wrist.

Lin Shu wanted to retract her hand, but he grabbed her wrist, so she had to grit her teeth and remind him: "Gu Jiu, I just want to buy the earrings I like."

"Buy the earrings, and this bracelet, too. Let's buy them all." Gu Jiu coaxed as he put the bracelet on Lin Shu's fair wrist. He thought it looked good no matter how he looked at it. "I said you look good in this bracelet."

As he said this, he was about to pick up the necklace and put it around Lin Shu's neck.

Lin Shu hurriedly stopped him, snatched the necklace and put it on the counter. To save his face, she whispered in his ear: "Do you have money on you to buy so many jewels?"

Well...

Gu Jiu scratched his nose and said, "Let's take a look first. I'll go get the money this afternoon and come back to pay."

"Your mother gave me a set of jewelry when you got engaged. Actually, you don't have to spend this money..."

Gu Jiu interrupted her: "My mother gave you this as a gift. We are going to have a wedding banquet soon. I will also give you a set of jewelry."

In the previous life, many men were afraid that women would spend their money, but why was this woman of mine so eager to spend money on her?

Forget it.

Money is a bastard, spend it and earn it again.

Finally, the two of them chose a set of jewelry. When Lin Shu was giving the change, the salesperson looked at Gu Jiu in surprise.

Gu Jiu noticed the salesperson's gaze and glared at her. What are you looking at? Can't my wife give me the change when I buy something?
