Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

The two of them rode their bicycles out of the county town at a much faster speed.

Gu Jiu noticed that Lin Shu rode very steadily, "Why did you decide to buy a White Pigeon bicycle?"

Lin Shu went around a puddle and waited until the road was in better condition before turning around to look at him and said with a smile, "Have you heard of it? Forever Endurance, White Pigeon Speed, and Riding a Phoenix to Fall in Love?"

Gu Jiu couldn't help but curl his lips when he heard this jingle, "I haven't heard of it."

"I buy white pigeons for speed."

Gu Jiu exposed her, "You bought the white pigeon probably because it doesn't require a ticket, right?"

Lin Shu's face fell, "Why do you like to speak directly?"

"Haha... If you say so, then do I have to change to a Phoenix brand car? That way it will be more convenient for me to ride with you and have a romance."

Lin Shu raised his head slightly, letting the cool breeze of the morning blow on his face, and teased, "How come you are so love-minded under your cold appearance?"

"Is it bad to be in love? I only love you." Gu Jiu didn't know the specific meaning of "in love", but he roughly guessed what it meant from the literal meaning and confessed his love by the way.

Lin Shu: “…”

Young people have unlimited energy. After Lin Shu's rebirth, his body instantly regained the energy of his youth, but sometimes he is quieter than people of normal age.

At this moment, he seemed to be infected by Gu Jiu's emotions. He pedaled his bicycle faster and passed him in a flash.

Naturally, Gu Jiu was unwilling to admit defeat, so he pedaled hard to catch up.

The two of them chased each other and laughed all the way, and before they felt tired at all they had already entered the territory of Xiaohe Production Team.

In the backward and closed village, two 28-liter bicycles entering the village are a very cool presence and attract attention.

"Lin Shu, where are you coming from?"

"Wow, you can ride a bike, where did you get this bike?"

Some people were more concerned about Gu Jiu who was following behind her.

"Lin Shu, is the guy following you your boyfriend or relative?"

"He must be a good match. How can the Lin family have such a handsome relative? And this relative also has a bicycle."

"No way, Lin Shu found a partner? Why haven't I heard about it?"

"This boy is good-looking, tall and with long legs, the children he has in the future won't be short!"

The villagers working in the fields talked more and more outrageously, even thinking about the height of their children in the future.

The more Lin Shu listened, the faster he stepped on the pedal, and his face turned red.

But Gu Jiu was different. He was greeting the villagers along the way with a smile and listening to their discussions. The more he listened, the wider his smile became.

These villagers are so simple and honest that even his descendants are worried about them.

When they returned home one after the other, only Liu Xiao'e and her two children were at home. She was carrying a basket and was about to go out to pick vegetables in the vegetable garden when a bicycle stopped in front of her with a squeak, which scared her.

"The youngest?" Just as he was about to utter a Chinese traditional verse, he looked up and found it was his own child.

"Mom, where are you going?" Lin Shu jumped off the bicycle.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Jiu stopped his bicycle, supported himself on the ground with his long legs, and grinned, showing his big white teeth, "Mom."

"..." Liu Xiao'e's brain froze on the spot. She looked at Gu Jiu and then at Lin Shu.

After a while, she pointed at Gu Jiu and asked Lin Shu: "What did he...what did he call me just now? I didn't hear it clearly."

Lin Shu glared at Gu Jiu in a reproachful manner, turned around and prepared to introduce them to each other, "Mom..."

"Yes! He just called me mom." Liu Xiao'e looked at the smiling Gu Jiu, "Young man, are you sure you are calling me mom? Mom, don't call me that randomly. I haven't lost my son."

"Mom, his name is Gu Jiu, and now it's me..." Lin Shu helplessly looked at the old man and the young man who forced her to admit the relationship, "He's my boyfriend."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the old man and the young man burst into amazing light.

"Oh, so he's my future son-in-law!" Liu Xiao'e slapped her thigh exaggeratedly, then pushed open the door that had just been closed, and happily invited Gu Jiu in: "Come on, Jiu Ge'er, come in quickly, why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming to visit our home? If I had known in advance, I would have asked your father and your brother to wait for you at home."

Gu Jiu pushed his bicycle to the porch and followed him in with the net bag on the handle. "Hey, here I am. It's my fault for not thinking it through. Actually, there's no need to make it so grand when you go back home. Just be casual and do whatever you need to do."

"Okay, you are so sensible. Hey, why do you bring so many things when you come? It's so expensive!" Liu Xiao'e smiled so hard that her teeth were showing.

She had never expected that the youngest brother would make a surprise attack today and bring a boyfriend back without any prior notice. Moreover, Gu Jiu looked good, tall, and well-mannered, so he was a perfect choice.

"It's just a little gift, not a token of respect. It's my first time visiting my family and I brought some gifts." Gu Jiu placed the gift on the table with great sincerity and pointed outside the door: "There's a snakeskin bag on the back seat of the bicycle outside. Mom, please sit down first. I'll be right back."

"Sit down and have a drink of water. You must be thirsty after traveling all the way here. Just ask the youngest one to bring in the snakeskin bag." Liu Xiao'e was overwhelmed by her good-looking son-in-law.

As the two were talking, Zhuangzhuang and Xiaojun came in grunting, carrying a net bag.

Gu Jiu quickly stepped forward to take it. He stroked the little heads of Zhuangzhuang and Xiaojun and said, "These are Zhuangzhuang and Xiaojun, they are so cute with their chubby faces."

"Uncle, I'm Zhuangzhuang and he's Xiaojun. We're both six years old, and I'm two months older than him."

"Good, Zhuangzhuang knows how to take care of his brother." Gu Jiu took out a few candies from his pocket and stuffed them into their mouths. "You guys worked hard to help me carry things. This is a reward for you."

"Thank you, uncle."

They know how to say thank you without adults telling them.

Lin Shu came in carrying a snakeskin bag, "Mom, these are the gifts that Gu Jiu prepared for the family. I'll leave them to you to handle."

"Okay, since it's Jiu Ge'er's idea, I won't be polite." Liu Xiao'e poured Gu Jiu a cup of herbal tea, "Jiu Ge'er, this is the herbal tea made from the honeysuckle we picked and dried ourselves. Try it and see if you like it. If you like it, take some back with you when you go back."

"Thank you, Mom. I won't be polite since we're family." Gu Jiu drank most of the cup to show that he liked it.

Liu Xiao'e hurriedly said that they were family members and there was no need to be polite, and then asked the topic that she was most concerned about: "Ninth brother, how did you and the youngest brother know each other?"

Gu Jiu didn't say that they met when he was saving someone by the river. "It's a long story. Shushu's cousin Ding Zaichun's junior high school classmate is my friend, and that's how we got to know each other. After we got to know each other, I found that Shushu was a very good girl, and that's how we decided to be in a relationship."

When Lin Shu heard him call her Shushu, she almost got goosebumps.

Liu Xiao'e heard it differently. She felt that Gu Jiu cared about Lin Shu so much that he called her so sweetly, "Zaichun is my second sister's son. I didn't expect that he has become a family member after all these years."

Lin Shu laid out some of the candies and snacks that Gu Jiu had brought. "Mom, my eldest and second brothers' jobs were arranged by their friends, my cousin Zaichun's classmates. They are all our benefactors."

"Really? Oh, we have all the coincidences in the world." Liu Xiao'e became even more satisfied with her future son-in-law when she heard this.

As they were talking happily, footsteps were heard at the door. After a while, Lin Dashan came back with his sons and daughters-in-law.

"Xiao E, I heard that there are guests at home?"

As soon as Lin Dashan stepped over the threshold, the loud voice started yelling.
