Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth

Chapter 102 Meeting Gu Chenggui on the Road

When Gu Jun was locked up, he was extremely panicked.

The next day, he was told that if he reported other people engaged in speculation and profiteering, his sentence would be reduced.

After Gu Jun had gone through all the people with him and explained everything, the staff asked him, "Is there anyone else?"

Gu Jun was stunned for a moment, and for some reason thought of Gu Zhan.

That bastard was able to build a yard in such a short time, and it was said that all the furniture inside was replaced with new ones. He was so generous. He couldn't think of anything else that could make so much money except speculation.

So he mentioned Gu Zhan almost without thinking.

As a result, they were scolded by the staff in charge of the interrogation the next day, and were warned that they would be held responsible for making random accusations.

How could this be possible? How could Gu Zhan suddenly become so rich? What else could he do besides speculation?

As for Gu Zhan, he was delayed for a day because of Gu Jun's matter. After returning, he was busy translating the documents overnight and finally finished translating all the documents he had obtained the next morning.

Before going to the town, he carefully checked the two documents he had compared before. He deliberately put the two documents together and placed the extra pages of manuscript he had written on top.

After doing all this, he put the documents into a brown paper file bag, talked to Liu Xiaoxi, and went to the brigade office to borrow a bicycle from Zhao Baogen.

"Uncle Zhao, I'll pick up your bicycle for the morning."

Having just returned yesterday, Zhao Baogen was about to go out again early this morning. He was very worried about Gu Zhan, fearing that he might cause trouble outside, so he carefully asked Gu Zhan in detail: "Where are you going again, kid?"

Gu Zhan smiled helplessly: "Uncle Zhao, you just don't trust me? I'll go to the commune post office to send something to the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences."

Zhao Baogen felt relieved when he heard it was the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, but he also warned: "After you come back this time, don't run around outside anymore. Look at what has happened in the past few days."

Gu Zhan understood what Zhao Baogen meant and agreed without thinking.

He had originally planned not to travel far away until Liu Xiaoxi gave birth to a child.

Since his rebirth, although he has been running around for his wife and child, he has also missed a lot of his wife's company, so he decided to stay at home and accompany Liu Xiaoxi during the time before the child was born.

As for money, you can also earn it at home.

Putting his thoughts aside, Gu Zhan nodded.

As he was pushing his bicycle away, Zhao Baogen stopped Gu Zhan again and warned him gravely, "Boy, if you can help with Gu Jun's matter, then do so. If you can't, don't get yourself into trouble. The authorities are cracking down on speculation and profiteering now."

Gu Zhan nodded carefully: "I understand, Uncle Zhao."

Looking at Gu Zhan's departing back, Zhao Baogen sighed.

It's a headache that such a good child has to meet a bunch of insignificant relatives.

After borrowing a bicycle, Gu Zhan returned home to get the information he wanted to send to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. He kissed Liu Xiaoxi on the forehead, told her to lock the door when he was not at home, and then left.

The commune post office was bustling with people, and Gu Zhan's letter needed to go through confidential channels, so it was taken to the office area at the back for processing.

Because they had met Gu Zhan before and the staff were familiar with him, they quickly processed the procedures for Gu Zhan. The moment the information was sent out, Gu Zhan prayed in his heart, hoping that Sun Yuan would pay attention to his suggestions and try to shorten the cultivation time of high-yield wheat seeds.

Just as Gu Zhan came out of the post office, he saw Gu Chenggui coming out of the commune compound with a briefcase.

Seeing Gu Zhan from afar, Gu Chenggui threw away his previous attitude and trotted to catch up with Gu Zhan: "Comrade Gu?"

Gu Zhan was thinking about going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some food for Liu Xiaoxi when he heard someone calling his name. When he turned around, it was Gu Chenggui.

Gu Chenggui excitedly extended his hand to shake Gu Zhan's hand. "Comrade Gu, thank you so much for your kindness last time. If you hadn't told me in advance to pay attention to flood prevention, the equipment in our brick factory would have been lost."

Gu Zhan raised the corners of his lips and smiled slightly. Actually, there was no need to thank himself. When building the house, Gu Chenggui had helped him a lot, so he was grateful for helping him.

"You're welcome. That's because you've made sufficient preparations in advance."

Talking about the heavy rain that day, Gu Chenggui is still frightened.

He didn't quite believe what Gu Zhan said, especially because Xiaohe Town Commune had been experiencing drought for years, so how could there be heavy rain?

It turned out that what Gu Zhan predicted was right.

That night there were lightning and thunder. He was lying on the kang watching the thunder and lightning outside, and suddenly remembered what Gu Zhan had told him. Just in case, he woke up the sleeping workers and sealed the entrance to the cave where the machine was placed.

Not long after all this work was done, water began to rise from the ground.

After the heavy rain, he felt scared thinking about it. If he hadn't remembered Gu Zhan's words at that time, he might have lost his iron rice bowl, not to mention that he would have a say in the promotion this time.

Later, he always wanted to thank Gu Zhan in person, but every time he went to Shanghe Village, Gu Zhan happened to be away. He only met him today.

After exchanging pleasantries, Gu Chenggui sincerely invited Gu Zhan: "Comrade Gu Zhan, it's so hard for us to meet. How about I treat you to a meal?"

"This..." Gu Zhan hesitated. He thought that he still had to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things. If he went too late, he would have no good stuff.

Gu Chenggui could naturally see Gu Zhan's hesitation and tried to ask, "Is there something important later?"

Gu Zhan smiled and said frankly, "It's not a big deal. I just plan to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things, and I'm afraid if I go there too late, I won't be able to buy anything."

Gu Chenggui laughed and patted Gu Zhan on the shoulder: "I thought it was nothing serious. Don't worry, I know the people at the supply and marketing cooperative. I'll go with you after dinner and ask him to bring you some good things."

Gu Zhan was moved by what he heard and stopped refusing.

The commune's canteen didn't have as many dishes as the county's, but it was affordable. The two of them ordered a meat dish and a vegetable stir-fry, as well as a plate of white flour buns, which attracted the attention of people around them.

For ordinary people, this meal is indeed a luxury.

During the meal, Gu Chenggui took the initiative to bring up Gu Jun's matter.

Because of work, he often went to the commune to find Li Fu recently, and heard a lot of things, especially the city-wide arrest of speculators.

When he heard that a young man named Gu was also arrested in Shanghe Village, he thought it was Gu Zhan. When he got closer to inquire, he found out that it was Gu Jun, the grandson of Gu Dali.

"I heard that Gu Jun was arrested?"

Gu Zhan smiled slightly: "You heard about it too?"

"Well, I've seen him around the commune before. He was hanging out with a bunch of scoundrels."

Gu Chenggui sighed. He had seen Gu Jun many times in the village when he was a child. He was a fair-skinned and obedient child. Now that he encountered such a thing, he had an indescribable feeling.
