Rebirth 80: Beautiful Hot Wife in Charge

At around four in the morning, Xue Xiaozhu struggled to get out of bed.

I opened the window and looked outside. It was so dark that I couldn't see my hand in front of me.

Covering the flashlight's light to prevent it from waking up her elder sister, Xue Xiaozhu carefully put on her shoes.

Don't ask her how she knew it was past four in the morning without a watch.

It's the body's automatic sensing. Maybe this body gets up early to work every day, so it's very sensitive to time.

"Xiaozhu, are you going into the city?" Xue Xiaotao's voice seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, and she was a little unclear.

Living here, they don't have to get up early to work every day, and Xue Xiaotao's sleep has improved a lot.

"I'm sorry for waking you up." Xue Xiaozhu spoke in a whisper and tucked the quilt under her.

"Sleep a little longer. When we get to the city and sell the eels, I'll bring you some meat buns."

Hearing the word "meat", Xue Xiaotao swallowed helplessly: "No more sleep, I'm getting up to work."

Before the firewood was tied up with a rope, Xue Xiaozhu was about to get up, hugging the quilt.

"What kind of work is this? It's not like we're in the old house. You can sleep in any time you want."

"Once I know where to sell eels and loaches, you can come with me."

She certainly couldn't trouble Gu Chengzhou often. She would only take her elder sister with her after she had thoroughly understood the city.

We are not familiar with the place yet, so we might end up taking the wrong road and not knowing how to get back.

"Really? Can I go into the city with you?" Xue Xiaotao slept with her face sideways, her tone full of anticipation.

"Why not? When we make money in the future, you can go wherever you want." Xue Xiaozhu was not just making empty promises.

Of course, this is in the future, and now they don’t have a penny in their pockets.

Thinking about this matter, Xue Xiaozhu felt extremely fucked up.

Xue Jianzhi is a person who really cares about everyone and completely disregards his own family.

He gave all his money to the old lady to manage, as he sincerely wanted to support his two older nephews.

"I dare not think about this!" Xue Xiaotao smiled while hugging the quilt.

"As long as I have enough food and warm clothes, I won't think of anything else."

Hearing her words, Xue Xiaotao touched her elder sister's rough hand with heartache.

Yes, few girls like them who don’t take it seriously would think about what happens after they are full.

"I'm going to leave now. I can't let Gu Chengzhou wait." Xue Xiaozhu told her this last night.

Although Xue Xiaotao felt that if her sister went to the city with a man, others would gossip about her.

But Xue Xiaozhu's words made Xue Xiaotao speechless. She was almost starving to death, yet she was still thinking about this.

Besides, it’s so early and I have a day off today, who would want to get up so early to do something?

After washing up, Xue Xiaozhu left with the bucket. Xue Xiaotao, who said she wouldn't see him off, still came out to see him off for a while.

Gu Chengzhou, pushing his bicycle, was waiting at the agreed place. He arrived early.

"Comrade Gu, you haven't waited too long!" Xue Xiaozhu ran over, still a little out of breath.

Gu Chengzhou took the bamboo bucket from her hand, which was quite heavy: "I just got here too, let's go!"

The two of them didn't chat much. Xue Xiaozhu sat on the back of the bicycle and hung the bucket on the front bar.

There are many places to hang things on the 28-meter bicycle. Xue Xiaozhu sat in the back and his voice trembled when he spoke.

Along the way, Xue Xiaozhu kept talking, for she was afraid that the journey would be too boring.

Gu Chengzhou responded from time to time and felt that going to the city with her was really lively.

Knowing that she was going to sell these eels and loaches, Gu Chengzhou had already decided where to go when he entered the city.

When there was some light in the sky and they were finally about to enter the county town, Xue Xiaozhu felt that her buttocks could not bear it anymore.

The roads in the countryside and the city were so broken that her butt was numb from all the bumps, and she couldn't even stand on her legs when she got off.

"There are people here collecting eels and loaches, you can take a look." Gu Chengzhou pointed across.

"I see. I'll take it there and try selling it." Xue Xiaozhu was a little surprised that he knew these places.

"Don't go to the black market, someone might catch you now." The price on the black market would be higher, but there were also risks, Gu Chengzhou reminded.

If the price is right, Xue Xiaozhu will definitely not go to the black market.

"I understand. Just go ahead and do your own thing. Don't let me delay your work." Xue Xiaozhu nodded with a smile.

Gu Chengzhou responded, agreed on a meeting place, and quickly left on his bicycle.

Xue Xiaozhu, carrying a bucket, walked around the road and saw a few people selling vegetables.

The price is not very high, and the people who come to buy it are quite picky.

Feeling that he couldn't get a good price here, Xue Xiaozhu started chatting with others sweetly.

She knew that there were several large state-owned factories nearby and the family compound was not far away.

If there are people with money in this era, they must be working couples.

"The largest factory was the cannery, with hundreds of workers, and the family compound was bustling with activity."

When Xue Xiaozhu heard about the cannery, he quickly decided to try his luck in the factory's family compound.

I carried the bucket along the road to the family compound. At this time, many people had already gotten up.

Xue Xiaozhu aimed at the old lady with the child and said, "Auntie, do you want some eels and loaches?"

When she saw the stranger, the old lady hugged her child tightly, looking quite alert. Fortunately, Xue Xiaozhu looked quite kind.

"Eels and loaches, let me see." The old lady looked at her clothes covered with pudding and relaxed.

I guess she is another comrade from the countryside. The girl is quite pretty.

Xue Xiaozhu lifted the cloth covering the bucket, revealing the eels and loaches inside.

"I just caught it last night, it's so lively! Look at it, it must weigh 100 grams."

Xue Xiaozhu skillfully grabbed a large yellow eel and stirred it to make the eel and loach move.

Looking at such a big eel, the old lady was tempted. Her son had been working overtime recently, and she wanted to give him some nourishment.

Such a big eel is very nutritious. My son will definitely be more energetic after eating it.

"How much is it per pound?" The old lady squatted down holding the child, wanting to pick a few to cook for lunch.

"It's 70 cents a pound. Don't think it's too expensive. The supply and marketing cooperative sells it for 80 cents!" The main thing is that you can buy it without a ticket.

Xue Xiaozhu had inquired while walking around just now, and found out that no one was catching eels and loaches to sell recently.

The main reason is that everyone in the village has to earn work points and is exhausted every day. Who would have the mood to do that?

Another reason is that the trading has not been liberalized yet. Everyone is afraid that what happened before will happen again and dare not sell it.

"You don't need a ticket to buy from me, isn't that more cost-effective?" Xue Xiaozhu's words hit the nail on the head for the old lady.

Although my son and his wife are both workers, they don't get many meat coupons every month.

There are six people in my family. If we buy a pound of meat, each person can only eat a few bites. Two pieces are gone.

"Can it be cheaper?" The old lady frowned critically. She wanted it to be cheaper.

Maybe they chatted for too long, which attracted the attention of other people in the family compound.
