Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

When Gu Jiu woke up the next day, Lin Shu was already up.

When he got up, Lin Shu was already busy making breakfast in the kitchen.

"Why are you up so early this morning? What are you doing?"

Gu Jiu looked at Lin Shu sitting at the table mixing seasonings and couldn't help but ask curiously.

Lin Shu poured the prepared sauce on the cold noodles. "I want to eat something refreshing in the morning. I made cold noodles. Go wash up first. We'll eat soon."

Although the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, it has not rained yet, which means the weather is still very hot during the day. In addition, I was tired after a day of work yesterday, so I don’t have much of an appetite today.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, wife."

Gu Jiu wanted to move forward and give him a kiss, but Lin Shu pushed him away in disgust, "Go brush your teeth!"

Gu Jiu let out a click of the tongue, then went to the bathroom with a smile.

After they finished their breakfast, Lin Shu rode his bike to transport the goods they had collected yesterday in two batches before the sun rose high.

When I got home again, there was nearly four hundred yuan on the table.

"We sold the herbs we dug yesterday for so much money?"

Gu Jiu took a deep breath. The two of them dug up four hundred yuan in one day. What’s the difference between this and digging for gold?

"I dug 67 kilograms of Radix Codonopsis pilosulae and sold them for 67 yuan, 160 kilograms of Polygonatum sibiricum and sold them for 320 yuan, plus a small amount of herbs such as Radix Dioscoreae and Radix Aconiti Lateralis, the total sales were 398 yuan."

Lin Shu pointed to the money on the table and said, "It's all here."

Gu Jiu pushed the money in front of her and said, "You are the head of our family now, so put it away quickly."

"Do you really want me to be the boss?" Lin Shu was stunned for a few seconds and smiled playfully.

"Of course, a man's word is his bond, and I mean it."

I originally wanted to say that men should work outside and women should work inside, but thinking that I am just following my wife to make a living, I didn’t have the courage to say it.

After hearing this, Lin Shu didn't know if he could do it in his lifetime, but at least he was happy to hear it now.

"Okay, I'll be polite then. I promise you that every penny of our joint property will be spent wisely while I'm in charge."

Gu Jiu chuckled: "Spend when you should, don't save."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Lin Shu agreed readily.

Although the two had not lived together for long, at least in the past few days she discovered that they had the same consumption concepts and would not treat themselves harshly in order to save money.

Lin Shu was very satisfied with Gu Jiu's attitude. This was the first time he let him see the money. Next time, the money from selling herbs would be directly deposited into the balance and wait for the system upgrade.

She took a sip of water and was about to put the money away when there was a knock on the door.

"Who's here? Go and see."

Lin Shu took the money and went into the bedroom.

Gu Jiu stood up and walked towards the door, "I'm coming."

When he opened the door, a pig's head came towards him and almost hit him in the face.

Gu Jiu's face darkened, and he tilted his head to look at the person behind him, "What do you mean?"

"Ha ha......"

Tang Jianjun, Li Yuanchao, Xu Ting and Ding Xing jumped out from the side.

Xu Ming put down the pig's head and said with a smile: "We saw that the pig's head was cheap at the butcher's stall today, so we bought one and brought it back for you."

Gu Jiu laughed angrily: "Thank you!"

"Well, we are all brothers, no thanks!"

Pighead led the way, forcing Gu Jiu to make way, and a group of people took the opportunity to enter.

Lin Shu came out of the room and asked in surprise: "Where did you get a pig's head?"

"Hey, Lin Shu is here too. It just so happens that we just got a pig's head back so we can have a lunch together." Xu Ming put the pig's head on the table.

The corner of Gu Jiu's mouth twitched. He knew that Lin Shu was with him, so he said this on purpose.

Lin Shu felt a little headache when he saw the pig head: "The meat of the pig head is delicious, but it is difficult to process."

"It's not difficult, I'll do it!" Tang Jianjun volunteered.

In this day and age, coal stoves were a luxury at home, and most people burned firewood. Using tongs was the cleanest way to burn the hair, and when processing pig heads, the tongs had to be heated red before the hair was burned.

Lin Shu invited everyone to have tea, and then saw Tang Jianjun using a red-hot tongs to burn the pig's ear holes. When he burned the left ear, smoke came out of the right ear. The scene was simply amazing.

"Tang Jianjun, you made the whole house smell like pig hair, couldn't you close the kitchen door first?"

Before the master could speak, Xu Ting covered her mouth and nose, looking unhappy.

Tang Jianjun was stunned and looked at everyone: "Okay, my hands are oily and it's inconvenient, one of you can close the door."

Xu Ming smiled helplessly, stood up and closed the kitchen door, leaving Tang Jianjun to work alone in the kitchen.

Lin Shu glanced at Xu Ting. She had been in a bad mood since she entered the room, especially when she looked at him, she was full of hostility.

Does this mean you are not welcome here?

The other female comrade had a smile on her face from the moment she came in until now, but Lin Shu didn't know her.

"Gu Jiu, this beautiful girl is your partner?"

A few people forgot to introduce themselves, so Ding Xing took the initiative to ask.

Gu Jiu poured a cup of tea for Lin Shu and nodded: "Yes, my wife Lin Shu."

Then he introduced her to Lin Shu: "She is my classmate in junior high school, Ding Xing."

"Hello, Comrade Ding, welcome to our home."

"Thank you. I will come here often in the future." Ding Xing shook hands with her generously.

Lin Shu smiled and nodded.

Xu Ting frowned, "Comrade Lin, you are only engaged to Brother Nine, but you speak as if you are the master of this family. Is that appropriate?"

From the moment he entered the door, Lin Shu felt the malice coming from Xu Ting.

After hearing her words, he glanced at Gu Jiu, who had the potential to cause trouble, and couldn't help but chuckle, saying indifferently: "Compared to you, it seems that I have a more legitimate position in this family."

"You...are shameless!" Xu Ting was so angry after hearing her words: "You haven't even gotten married yet, and you're living together as a single man and a single woman. Aren't you ashamed?"

Especially when she heard Gu Jiu calling her wife just now, she almost went crazy on the spot.

After hearing this, Gu Jiu couldn't stand it anymore and replied domineeringly: "She is my wife, how can she be shameless for living with me? Or do I need your consent to live with someone? You, an unmarried girl, are so shameless for me to control you?"

Xu Ting didn't expect Gu Jiu to be so venomous, "Brother Jiu, you..."

"Xu Ting!" Xu Ming came over and stopped Xu Ting from continuing, "You promised me before you came here that you would not cause trouble."

Everyone else was so embarrassed that they didn't know how to resolve the deadlock.

"Haha, that...that," Li Yuanchao pointed at Xu Ting, "She drank too much last night and hasn't sobered up yet. Brother Jiu, sister-in-law, don't mind it, just treat it as her fart."

Xu Ting glared at him: "Li Yuanchao, who are you saying is talking nonsense? And I didn't drink last night!"

Li Yuanchao's eyelids twitched. "Well, if he didn't drink last night, then he drank too much the night before yesterday."

Gu Jiu looked at Xu Ming expressionlessly.

Xu Ming touched his nose awkwardly, turned around and held Xu Ting's shoulders. When she looked over, he shook his head at her: "If you say something irrelevant again, I will send you back now."

Xu Ting was intimidated. She turned around unwillingly with her back to Xu Ming. As she turned around, she did not forget to glare at Lin Shu viciously.

Lin Shu was not going to indulge her, and asked innocently, "Comrade Xu Ting, I don't know where I offended you, so that you were hostile to me from the moment you entered the door?"

Lin Shu saw through it but didn't say it out loud. His words made the atmosphere, which had been slightly relaxed, suddenly become tense again.

"Lin Shu, you misunderstood. Tingting and you have only met a few times. How could she say that you offended her? That's not true." Xu Ming tried to smooth things over.

Lin Shu nodded: "Just now she gave me a vicious look, I thought I had offended her, I was shocked."

After hearing this, everyone looked at Xu Ting.

Xu Ting, who originally had a look of resentment on her face, was so scared that she quickly retracted her gaze.

Seeing the little girl avoiding his gaze due to fear, Lin Shu immediately lost interest in teasing her.

Just then, Tang Jianjun came over and said that the pig's head had been cleaned, so Lin Shu got up and went to the kitchen to braise the pig's head.

Xu Ming saw Lin Shu enter the kitchen, he walked over and sat next to Gu Jiu, "Tingting is angry with you because you didn't attend her birthday party the night before. Don't take it personally, the girl's emotions come and go quickly."

Gu Jiu rolled his eyes at him in annoyance: "Lin Shu is my wife. If she looks down on Lin Shu, she looks down on me. In order not to make things difficult for her brothers, you should remind her later not to make trouble for no reason."

If she causes trouble for Lin Shu again, he doesn't mind embarrassing her and just kicking her out.

He would not say that someone would insult his woman and then remain indifferent.

Regardless of the era, husband and wife are one.

When others look down on your wife or speak disrespectfully to her, it is a sign of disrespect for you.

Xu Ming smiled helplessly: "I know, don't worry. Speaking of Lin Shu, you kept emphasizing that she is your wife today, what's wrong with you two?"

Speaking of Lin Shu, Gu Jiu's expression softened, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "What else can it be? There is a certificate."

After hearing the news, Xu Ming's expression paused slightly, then he smiled and said congratulations.

There were many people at home at noon, so Lin Shu braised the pig's head, stir-fried a green pepper with the pork head, and then made a cold dish with the braised pig's ears.

There were some vegetables at home, so I made a cold salad with cucumbers, fried peanuts, loofah and egg soup, and braised eggplant.

Last time, I brought a lot of dried fish from home. Lin Shu fried some spicy dried fish with minced chili peppers, ginger and garlic. It goes very well with rice and is also suitable for drinking.

"Gu Jiu, come and serve the dishes." After Lin Shu finished cooking the dishes, he called out to Gu Jiu who was chatting outside.

Gu Jiu heard the shout and quickly stood up and walked over. He looked at the six or seven bowls and dishes, both meat and vegetables, and rubbed her hair: "Thank you for your hard work."

Lin Shu: "They are not big dishes, they are cooked easily, not hard. Hurry up and serve them out, and let them set the table and prepare to eat."

"Okay, I'll ask them to clear the table. You can wash your face and come over to eat." Gu Jiuxian brought out two bowls of dishes.

The men were all quite diligent. As soon as they heard the dishes were ready, they helped to clear the table, set the table, and prepare wine glasses.

Lin Shu came out after washing her face and they were all ready.

"Sister-in-law, come and sit down quickly. We are waiting for you." Li Yuanchao picked up the wine bottle and asked, "Sister-in-law, you have worked hard cooking today, would you like to have something to drink?"

"No, I don't drink."

"Drink less. This two-liang cup is just one cup." Li Yuanchao helped pour a cup without saying anything. "This rice wine is not intoxicating."

Lin Shu thought to herself, this is a lie, this rice wine is very strong. However, two taels of rice wine is not a big problem, so she did not refuse.

After she sat down, Gu Jiu placed the small wine glass in front of her and said softly, "It's okay to drink these two taels, don't worry."

When Lin Shu looked up, he inadvertently noticed Xu Ting's resentful look and found it funny.

Joy and anger are all shown on the face, so there is no need to worry.
