Black Market Boss: His Beloved Wife's Lazy Life

"Don't you need to buy some more basins, bowls, or things like that?" Gao Jianguo asked, puzzled.

"Yes, do you have any?"

"Yes, let's go to the meat processing plant to buy meat first, and then come to my place to pick up your things. Take whatever you need."

Gao Jianguo explained his plans.

"Okay, what brings you to the commune today?" Shang Yanfang remembered that she had met Gao Jianguo on the road, not that he had simply accompanied her.

"I just wanted to come to the commune to see if there was anything new or interesting."

Gao Jianguo gave a perfunctory answer.

The two rode their bicycles past the post office, and Gao Jianguo kindly asked the young girl, "Do you want to go and see if there's any mail for you?"

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll go take a look now."

The little girl jumped off her bicycle and hopped and skipped like a little rabbit towards the post office.

A moment later, Shang Yanfang came out with a letter in her hand.

"It really exists! How did you know it would exist?" Shang Yanfang smiled with great surprise.

"I was just asking casually," Gao Jianguo said honestly.

“Okay. Let’s continue on to the meat processing plant.” Shang Yanfang got on the bicycle, and the two headed towards the meat processing plant.

When we visited the Daoda Meat Processing Plant, even though it wasn't open, there was a huge crowd of people crammed at the entrance.

"Brother Guo, Jianguo, can you go in and buy it for me?" Shang Yanfang was genuinely afraid that something might happen if she went in. She tugged at the man's sleeve and shook it playfully.

"Okay, I'll go." The man said and tried to squeeze into the group of older women.

"Here you go. We're treating everyone together, so you don't need to pay."

Shang Yanfang took out a roll of money and stuffed it into Gao Jianguo's hand.

Despite his tall and muscular build, Gao Jianguo managed to reach the front of the group of middle-aged women by skillfully maneuvering.

As soon as he entered the meat processing plant, Gao Jianguo became the first person to buy meat. The old lady selling meat even gave him almost an extra ounce of meat because he was good-looking.

"Here, meat, top-quality pork belly." Gao Jianguo held up the meat he was holding in front of Shang Yanfang.

"Great job!" Shang Yanfang gave the man two thumbs up.

The man was so happy his mouth almost stretched to his ears.

"Here, I'll take it." Shang Yanfang took the pork belly from the man's hand.

The two rode towards the courtyard.

"Pat, pat, pat. Dali, is Dali home?" Everyone in the courtyard was still sound asleep.

Wang Dali heard the knocking and came out of the room. "Who is it? Disturbing my sleep so early in the morning."

We can hear the man's dissatisfaction in his words.

The door opened from the inside.

"Brother Guo, it's nearby."

"Snapped."

"Brother Jianguo, my nose almost got caught!" Wang Dali's angry roar came from inside the door.

"You, pack your clothes first, I didn't come alone," Gao Jianguo kindly reminded him from outside the door.

Li Gouzi and Li Ergou, who slept together last night, were also woken up. The three of them listened to what Gao Jianguo said.

They glanced at each other: flip-flops, tank tops, and boxer shorts (not as fitted as modern ones, but still short and loose).

"Gao Jianguo, what are they wearing? Why can't we see?"

Shang Yanfang stared at Gao Jianguo with a puzzled look in her eyes.

When the door was opened, Shang Yanfang had her back to it completely, so she didn't see anything.

"Come here, come closer, I'll tell you something." Gao Jianguo said, beckoning Shang Yanfang with his small hand.

Perhaps all Chinese people have a natural inclination to gossip.

As expected, Shang Yanfang walked over to Gao Jianguo's side.

"Let me tell you. I'll wear it for you after we get married, or I'll wear it for you when you come to my house."

"Brother Guo, please come in."

Wang Dali and the others didn't want to keep Gao Jianguo waiting for long, so they grabbed their clothes and started putting them on.

Peeking out again, I saw his eldest son kissing a little girl.

"We don't have anything," Shang Yanfang quickly explained to the three people inside.

They were just standing very close, whispering to each other. To others, it might seem like they were being very intimate.

“We believe it,” the three said in unison.

"Let me in." Gao Jianguo was the first to enter the courtyard.

Shang Yanfang followed closely behind into the courtyard.

There were only three people left at the door.

"We have nothing," Gouzi mimicked Shang Yanfang's explanation.

Dali and Ergou exchanged a glance.

That glance seemed to say something, yet it also seemed to say nothing at all.

"What are you all standing there for? Are you waiting for me to come and invite you?" Gao Jianguo's cold voice came from inside the house.

"We're here, Brother Guo." The three responded and walked into the main room.

Inside the main room, Shang Yanfang was sitting there when Gao Jianguo brought her a bowl of malted milk powder.

"Fangfang, be careful, it's hot." Gao Jianguo reminded the little girl as he placed the malted milk powder in front of her.

Wang Dali pinched his arm hard.

"Huh, it doesn't hurt. It really was a dream. I knew Guo-ge wouldn't be this gentle."

"Ouch, Brother Dali, it hurts, it hurts. Let go. You're pinching my arm."

"Sorry, sorry Er Gou, I didn't mean to," Wang Dali quickly apologized after realizing he had pinched the wrong person.

“You did it on purpose,” Er Gou added the second half of the sentence.

The atmosphere became much more relaxed.

"Brother Guo, why did you decide to come over now?" Gouzi asked curiously.

“My girlfriend, Shang Yanfang, I came with her to pick up some things.”

"Hello, sister-in-law, hello, sister-in-law." Several people went up to greet Shang Yanfang.

"I...Hello to all of you." Shang Yanfang knew that these three were people whom Gao Jianguo valued highly, so she greeted them as well.

"You all should go about your own business if there's nothing else to do." Gao Jianguo was subtly telling them to leave, and the group understood perfectly well.

"Boss, all the recent shipments are in the warehouse," Gouzi, who had run away, said to Gao Jianguo as he ran back.

After confirming that the three people had left, he moved his chair closer to Shang Yanfang.

Shang Yanfang was enjoying drinks that contained no additives.

My eyes lit up.

So the little girl likes to drink malted milk powder.

"Is it good?" Gao Jianguo couldn't bear to interrupt the little girl, seeing her blissful expression.

"It's so delicious, so sweet. And it has a wheat flavor." Shang Yanfang's eyes widened with excitement.

"How about we go back and take more?"

"Yes, yes, you can take more," Shang Yanfang nodded and said.

She's been drinking the malted milk powder from her online store lately, and it tastes completely different from this.

"Just take two bags, Brother Guo. You won't be able to finish more than that," Shang Yanfang quickly reminded him as she saw the man heading to the warehouse to get her some malted milk powder.

Malted milk powder is also available in both canned and bagged versions at this time.

The bagged ones are a penny cheaper than the canned ones.

"Okay, take your time. No rush," Gao Jianguo said with concern.
