Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

When the train arrived at the station, Gu Youhui greeted passengers to buy sugarcane, while Lin Shu stretched his neck to pay attention to every passenger coming out of the exit.

The number of passengers entering the waiting room from the train station entrance is relatively constant, with passengers entering from time to time.

The exit will only be opened when a train arrives at the station.

The crowded crowd was eager to get out of the station, but once they got out of the station, the crowd slowly dispersed.

Lin Shu finally saw the taller man from the crowd. She had been thinking about him day and night and couldn't sleep alone. Finally, the man who accompanied her came back.

Gu Youhui also saw his uncle and several brothers behind him.

"Selling sugar cane, selling sugar cane! Five cents a stick, cheap!"

The rhythmic shouting was something that had never happened at a train station before. Especially since the shouting sounded so familiar, Gu Jiu was slightly startled and then looked over in the direction of the sound.

Lin Shu waved at him with joy on his face.

"Ouch! Oh my god!"

"Brother Jiu, that's my sister-in-law. She's here to pick you up."

"And the one shouting just now should be that kid Youhui, why is he here at the train station? Selling sugarcane?"

Chen Fei and his companions' eyes widened, and they were almost unable to think because of Gu Youhui's action.

They brought a batch of fruits from Guangdong Province, but as soon as they arrived at the station, they saw someone already selling sugarcane.

"Why are you at the station?" Gu Jiu put his arm around Lin Shu's shoulders in surprise, looking her up and down, his gaze lingering on her abdomen for a moment.

"Knowing that you'd be coming back today and couldn't wait at home, I followed Youhui to the station to set up a stall and wait for you."

Lin Shu smiled so sweetly that Gu Jiu's heart almost melted.

Maybe this is the taste of honey mixed with oil.

His wife came to pick him up, and Gu Jiu left his brothers behind and followed his wife.

Lin Shu waved to Gu Youhui, and Gu Jiu took her home on his bicycle.

"Forget about friends for the sake of beauty." Gu Youhui looked at the two people who left, snorted, and felt unhappy.

I feel like I have been abandoned by my revolutionary comrades.

"Comrade, give me two pieces of sugarcane."

"Hey, okay."

Soon he stopped caring about being sad and got busy with his work.

Li Yiyou is one of Gu Jiu's brothers. He pushed Chen Fei and raised his chin to indicate Gu Youhui's stall.

Fade Chen put down the backpack on his shoulders and walked to Gu Youhui's stall. "Youhui, why are you setting up a stall here?"

Gu Youhui said as he was busy: "I want to earn some money to support myself. I can't just sit around and eat salted fish all day."

Chen Fei agreed with this, but said, "Where did you get this sugar cane from? Apart from the supply and marketing cooperative in the provincial capital, you should be the only one who has sugar cane, right?"

"Of course, it's the only one of its kind."

"Then where did you get the sugarcane?" Chen Fei asked.

Gu Youhui glanced at him in a rare moment of busyness, "If you want it, you can only buy it from me. My aunt has sold out of stock."

When Chen Fei heard this, he knew that the boy had misunderstood, so he did not explain. He and the other brothers looked at each other and felt a little relieved.

As long as no one else in the provincial capital gets the sugarcane, it'll be fine.

Gu Jiu, who was going home with his wife, was also asking the same question.

"Youhui is setting up a stall there. Where did he get the sugar cane?"

"Oh, a friend passed by the provincial capital and unloaded a batch of sugarcane, so I got it and set up a stall for him."

Lin Shu hugged his waist and rubbed his head against his back: "What's wrong, you don't agree with him setting up a stall?"

Gu Jiu felt the dependence behind him, and his heart softened. He smiled and said, "No, I'm just curious about where he got the sugarcane. Since you got it, it's okay."

Lin Shu thought of a possibility and asked, "Did you also get sugarcane from Guangdong Province?"

"My wife is so smart, she guessed it right at once."

Gu Jiu briefly described the situation during his visit to Guangdong Province. "It has just started to develop there, and some bold people have taken the lead in setting up factories, but the factories are relatively small. Most of them are factories with little technical content, such as clothing factories, luggage factories, etc."

"We wanted to place an order this time, but their production scale is small and they can't keep up. It's impossible for us to place a large order, so we thought that since we are here, we can't just buy a few hundred pieces of clothing and come back. Chen Fei and I discussed and brought a lot of fruits from Guangdong Province."

It will be shipped here and will probably arrive tomorrow.

Lin Shu nodded: "I support you. When you are just starting out, you don't have to be too rigid in your work and you need to be flexible. We are just doing whatever makes money as long as it doesn't break the law. Once you really make the first pot of gold, it will be much easier to do anything later."

"As expected, if there is a virtuous woman in the family, everything will go smoothly."

This time, Gu Jiu truly experienced the benefits of a husband singing the same tune as his wife.

It is so much easier if your wife at home doesn’t disagree with you no matter what you do or what decision you make outside.

Thinking of this, he pedaled harder, and the 28-inch bicycle sped back to the Gu family courtyard with sparks and lightning.

Wang Suzhen was very happy to see Gu Jiu coming back. "You are in for a treat. Shushu brought some ginseng potatoes and pork tripe yesterday. Xiao Liu has been stewing them for the whole afternoon. The soup has turned into a milky white color. I will add the ginseng potatoes, also known as purple yam, to add flavor. I wonder how delicious it will be."

"Mom, then you and Shushu should drink two more bowls of wine later to nourish your bodies." Gu Jiu had just returned home and did not have time to nag the old lady.

After saying this, he hugged Lin Shu, picked up the luggage and went upstairs to wash up impatiently.

For newlyweds, a short absence is better than a new marriage.

When a couple is apart for a few days, they must have a lot of private things to talk about, so they don’t have time to think about anything else.

Back in the room on the second floor, Lin Shu helped to find some clothes to change into. Gu Jiu opened the bag and took out the clothes that he had washed in Guangdong Province, but they were not completely dry. He took them out and hung them all up.

"Don't pack anymore, go wash up first, I'll sort out your luggage later." Lin Shu urged him to wash up first. He had been on the train for a long journey, and it would be better to wash off the dust as soon as possible to feel refreshed.

Gu Jiu saw the autumn clothes and trousers that Lin Shu gave him. This set was obviously brand new. "Did you make this for me?"

"Well, I made a few sets when I was bored at home. I also made two sets of pajamas. I can put on the pajamas over my autumn clothes after I wash up."

The system mall recently launched a new fabric with some fleece, and Lin Shu bought it to make two sets of home clothes. In this weather, it is just right to wear autumn clothes inside and this thick pajamas outside.

Warm and comfortable to wear.

In this era, most people live in tube-shaped buildings with shared bathrooms, which makes it inconvenient to go to the toilet and wash.

The Gu family has a single-family villa, so their living conditions can be said to be top-notch.

"Well, I feel alive again at last."

Gu Jiu came out of the bathroom and pulled Lin Shu, who had packed her luggage and was sitting at the small table fiddling with gift boxes, into his arms.

Let her sit on his lap facing him.

Lin Shu cried out softly, his old face was about to burn, sitting like this was very embarrassing.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. Do you miss me?" Gu Jiu felt his whole body go numb when she glared at him with such a coquettish look.

Lin Shu put her hands on his chest and asked, "What do you think?"

The glances between the two of them were almost strained, and Gu Jiu's joyful low laugh overflowed from his chest. He held her face and gently bit her lips to ease his longing for her.

Lin Shu felt like his chest was tickled, tingling and numb, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.

Soon, this slight discomfort slowly eased as Gu Jiu deepened the kiss.
