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

With a lifetime of hatred between them, Gu Zhan had nothing good to say about Gu Jun's affairs. The only thing he could say was that it was his own fault.

But when he met Gu Chenggui's eyes, Gu Zhan suppressed the words in his heart and just said that he was not careful in making friends.

Gu Chenggui noticed Gu Zhan's indifference towards his cousin and tactfully stopped talking.

After dinner, Gu Chenggui took Gu Zhan to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Cao Jianjun, the director of the supply and marketing cooperative, saw Gu Chenggui coming and greeted him with a smile: "Director, what brings you here?"

Hearing that Gu Chenggui was going to be promoted soon, Cao Jianjun was very enthusiastic about Gu Chenggui.

Gu Chenggui pointed at Gu Zhan and said to Cao Jianjun with a smile: "The younger generation in the family came to buy some things, and I brought them here."

After Gu Chenggui said this, Cao Jianjun still had something to understand. He smiled and asked Gu Zhan: "Comrade, what do you want to buy?"

Gu Zhan thought for a moment and said, "I need some nutritious supplementary food, and some cotton cloth and other things."

Some time ago, Gu Zhan was busy making money and forgot to prepare clothes, quilts and other things for the baby to be born. Recently, he was free at home and saw Liu Xiaoxi taking time out from reading to make small clothes for the baby, and then he remembered this matter.

When he heard that it was not a rare item, but was scarce, and Cao Jianjun also had some in stock, he agreed without hesitation.

After a while, a staff member took Gu Zhan to the backyard of the supply and marketing cooperative to choose things.

These things are very scarce now, and are sold in limited quantities with tickets every day. They dare not take out too many, and they are all kept in the warehouse in the backyard.

First, the food warehouse.

After Gu Zhan went in, he took a look at the neatly arranged food and ordered three pounds of egg cakes and one pound of biscuits.

Seeing that Gu Zhan bought a lot of things, the staff took out a basket to put the things Gu Zhan wanted to buy.

The next thing was fabrics and the like. The warehouse was filled with all sorts of black, white, and gray coarse fabrics, as well as Dacron and other fabrics later collectively known as chemical fibers, but these were not what Gu Zhan wanted to buy.

"Do you have any muslin? The kind for new-born babies."

Gu Zhan picked and chose, but couldn't find the fabric he chose. The staff member was secretly complaining, but suddenly heard that Gu Zhan wanted fine cotton cloth that could be worn by babies. She immediately felt her face hot and felt very guilty. She had indeed wronged him.

"Muslin is available."

The staff pulled out a roll of cotton from the mountain of fabric. It was pure white, without any print or dye. The color was a little dull, but it was exactly what Gu Zhan wanted.

"Do you think this is okay?"

"Okay, this is it." Gu Zhan said readily.

"How much?"

How much? Gu Zhan was in a dilemma. He tried to ask the staff, "What is the maximum you can sell?"

As soon as Gu Zhan said this, the staff member was stunned for a moment and blurted out: "Any amount is fine."

Fine cotton cloth is expensive, more than double the price of Dacron and old cotton cloth. This batch of material has been in the warehouse for some time. Now that they have met Gu Zhan, the staff are overjoyed.

"Then I'll take half."

"Okay." The staff were very happy. They thought the fine cotton cloth would become inventory, but half of it was sold without any effort.

As for cotton, it was a scarce commodity because winter was approaching, and Gu Zhan could only buy two kilograms at most.

When the staff took Gu Zhan to check out, Cao Jianjun looked at the basket the staff was carrying and his eyes twitched.

The staff calculated the bill, and Gu Zhan handed over the money and ticket. Cao Jianjun glanced at Gu Zhan in surprise.

I thought Gu Chenggui had brought in a poor country relative who was trying to take advantage of me, but it turned out that the relative was a generous man who bought so many things at once and was able to pay for them.

"Who is this kid to you?" Cao Jianjun asked casually as he watched Gu Zhan putting things into the cloth bag he was carrying.

Gu Chenggui said with a smile: "A younger generation in the family."

"That's it, that's it."

It’s no wonder Cao Jianjun said that with so many things, even Cao Jianjun, the director of the supply and marketing cooperative, would not dare to buy so many at one time.

After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Gu Zhan thanked Gu Chenggui and hurried back to Shanghe Village.

When I returned home, Liu Xiaoxi was reading a book and doing math problems in the main room, and Huang Guihua was sitting on a stool at the door making clothes for the child.

Liu Xiaoxi's mathematical thinking seemed to have suddenly blossomed recently, and he made rapid progress. In the high school textbook, as long as the questions were not too difficult, he could solve them independently as long as Gu Zhan had explained them.

This progress made Gu Zhan very happy, and it also alleviated a large part of his anxiety. No matter what university Liu Xiaoxi went to next year, as long as she could go to college with him, he would be very happy.

Hearing the sound of a bicycle, Liu Xiaoxi looked up from her book and saw that it was Gu Zhan carrying a bag of things walking in. She quickly put down her book and went out to help carry the things. Huang Guihua also put away the needlework in her hands and stood up.

Gu Zhan quickly took the hand of the person who was walking over, completely preventing Liu Xiaoxi from wanting to help get the things.

"What did you buy? Such a big bag?" Liu Xiaoxi began to feel sorry for the money.

Gu Zhan knew what Liu Xiaoxi was thinking and said, "Just some food and a piece of fine cotton cloth to make clothes for our daughter."

As soon as they heard the word "fine cotton cloth", Liu Xiaoxi and Huang Guihua's attention was instantly attracted.

Gu Zhan put the bag on the table and took out the things he bought one by one.

The mother and daughter didn't care about anything else at the moment, they only cared about the fine cotton cloth in Gu Zhan's hand.

Gu Zhan unfolded the cotton cloth and spread it flat on the kang.

"Such a large piece of cloth can be used to make many small underwear clothes!" Huang Guihua said as she touched the soft cotton cloth.

Gu Zhan continued to take out the cotton from the bottom of the cloth bag and handed it to the two of them: "There is more cotton, new."

"Oh my god!" Liu Xiaoxi held the cotton in her hands, unable to let it go, and said in surprise, "Now the child has a cotton-padded jacket."

Although Liu Xiaoxi had started preparing clothes for her child early on, all she made during this period were some cardigans and the like. She made very few underwear clothes because she had no fabric. Even if she did make them, she used some of her old clothes.

Liu Xiaoxi felt uncomfortable, but there was nothing she could do as there were too few soft fabrics.

Huang Guihua naturally understood her daughter's difficulties, so she thought of giving some of her grandson's childhood clothes to her daughter. However, her daughter-in-law Wang Yuehong blocked her idea with the words, "Our Jianguo doesn't have a brother or sister yet." The implication was that if she had a child in the future, she would still need to wear the clothes.

What the daughter-in-law said made sense, so she didn't say anything else. There was still some time before her daughter gave birth, so there was still time to slowly think of a solution.

Who knew that all the problems would be solved after the son-in-law went out.
