Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Upon arriving in town, Chi Xing and Gu Yu got off the bus. They originally intended to go to the supply and marketing cooperative, but then 250 told them that the bug had been fixed and he could contact his family again.

Chi Xing turned to Gu Yuzhi and said, "I'll go to the post office first to see if there's any mail from home."

"I'll go with you; you don't know the way by yourself."

Upon arriving at the post office, Akahoshi went inside and, sure enough, there were letters and packages sent to him from Kyoto.

Inside were some usable daily necessities, a few cans of milk powder and malted milk powder, as well as some new clothes and shoes.

Akahoshi opened the letter and glanced at it briefly.

It was a letter from his older brother and parents, mainly expressing their concern for him going to the countryside alone. He was already frail and sickly, and they told Chixing to take good care of himself.

250: [After the plot was fixed, Akahoshi, who should have died at the age of three, has grown up successfully this time. In order to fit your situation of going to the countryside, in their eyes, you are a bird yearning for freedom. Ignoring their objections, you secretly signed up to go to the countryside.]

Akahoshi:......

You're quite the artsy type.

250: [You flatter me.]

Besides the letter, there was also a money order for two hundred yuan.

In this era, there weren't even any households with ten thousand yuan. Besides the money that Chi Xing was carrying, they actually transferred so much more here. It's clear that the Chi family really doted on their youngest son.

Chixing carefully put away the remittance slip. With the money he had before, he could now be considered a wealthy man.

As Gu Yuzhi came out with the package, he quickly stepped forward and took it from her.

"Let me hold it for you."

Akahoshi picked up the package with her other hand and carried it: "It's not very heavy, I can carry it myself."

Seeing his reaction, Gu Yuzhi didn't try to take it by force.

The two then went to the supply and marketing cooperative together.

Almost everything is sold here. Gu Yuzhi was thinking that Chixing had only bought some fine grains when she came, and had been eating coarse grains with him these past few days, which was really unfair.

They took a look at the rice and grain section and found that refined rice and flour were in limited supply. They were considered to have arrived early, as there was still some refined rice left.

Gu Yuzhi did not hesitate and bought thirty catties, which would be enough for them to eat for a while.

Before Gu Yuzhi could take out his money, Chi Xing handed over the grain coupons and money.

“I eat and live at home, so I should be the one to provide for me.”

There were other people waiting behind him, but Gu Yuzhi didn't say anything. After paying, Gu Yuzhi held the rice and looked at him.

Feeling guilty under his gaze, Chi Xing leaned close to Gu Yuzhi and whispered, "Brother Yu, my family just sent me some money. I can't keep spending yours."

Gu Yuzhi remained silent, as if he were angry.

"I was wrong."

But if it happens again, Akahoshi will still give the money.

The boy's downcast head and aggrieved expression softened Gu Yuzhi's heart, who was not angry to begin with.

"How can you be so stupid? You don't even know how to take advantage of a good deal."

Gu Yuzhi said this, and Chixing heard it with a tone of doting affection.

He thought to himself, of course I would try to take advantage of someone, but this isn't the kind of advantage I want to take.

After buying the grain, the two went to the state-run restaurant.

There were quite a few people eating here. The rice was paid for by Chi Xing, so Gu Yuzhi thought he would treat him to a nice meal and pack some good food to take back to his grandmother.

To my surprise, I ran into several acquaintances as soon as I went in.

Cheng Li sat in the middle, with Gu Ye and Liu Yong sitting on his left and right sides respectively.

That's not all. The two of them were vying to serve food to Cheng Li. Liu Yong even thoughtfully poured water for Cheng Li, while Gu Ye was busy serving other dishes.

This bizarre scene left Gu Yuzhi looking puzzled.

The main idea of ​​state-run restaurants is to cook for yourself. Gu Yuzhi took Chixing to the front desk to order, but some dishes were already sold out, so they could only choose from what was left.

The two ordered a plate of sweet and sour pork, several large meat buns, and a plate of braised pork.

When people finally get to eat here, they usually order meat dishes.

"Go sit down first, I'll bring the dishes." Gu Yuzhi told Chixing to go to her seat.

Chixing obediently went over and sat down, then looked straight at Gu Yuzhi.

Gu Yuzhi's gaze, however, was drawn to Cheng Li and the others.

He always felt that the relationship between these people was strange.

But when asked, he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong with him; he was just different from other people.

No, it seems that he and Akahoshi are the same?

Just as he thought this seemed normal, a young couple sat down at the next table.

The two came over to order, and then the man said, "Sweetie, go sit down and wait. I'll bring the food over in a bit."

Gu Yuzhi: ?

This conversation sounds so familiar.

"Young man, your food is ready." After the person inside finished speaking, two plates of food were handed out.

Gu Yuzhi carried the dishes over to the table and placed them there, then went to get the meat buns.

Akahoshi's appetite was instantly whetted when he saw the enormous meat bun.

And those two plates of meat dishes, so delicious and visually appealing, made my stomach rumble.

It wasn't that he was particularly greedy; it was just that since he arrived here, he hadn't had much good food and had been eating mixed grain steamed buns every day.

Gu Yuzhi smiled and served him some food: "Eat up. I'll go order two more dishes to take back to Grandma."

He had originally planned to pack the braised pork to take back with him, but when he saw Akahoshi's eyes light up, he couldn't bear to do it.

Chixing quickly grabbed him: "Take some back from here, there's so much, and there are meat buns too."

The portions here are very large; one dish and a few meat buns are enough to fill you up.

Gu Yuzhi thought for a moment and then took out the lunchbox he had brought from home. He scooped out some of each of the two meat dishes and filled the lunchbox.

Chixing packed two more meat buns into a bag to take back to his grandmother so she could try them.

“Grandma can’t finish all of this, you can eat it yourself,” Gu Yuzhi said.

The meat buns here are almost as big as my face; Grandma can only eat half of one.

"If Grandma can't finish it, you can have it."

In short, I can't let my wife go hungry.

Gu Yuzhi smiled, her eyes crinkling, and placed another piece of meat on his plate.

"Eat quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

These were the words the man next door said to his wife, and they were also the words Gu Yuzhi was preparing to say to Chixing.

Gu Yuzhi paused, his gaze involuntarily turning to the young couple.

The two of them also took out a lunchbox and scooped some of the food off the table, indicating that they were taking it back to their families.

When a man serves food to a woman, she wears a happy smile and says, "Thank you, honey!"

Then, Gu Yuzhi heard Chi Xing whisper, "Thank you... Brother Yu."

For some reason, Gu Yu subconsciously thought he was going to say thank you, husband, and her heart started pounding.

Akahoshi seemed unaware of what he was thinking, and ate with his eyes downcast.

I'm wondering when I can really call him "husband," or better yet, "wife," hehe.

Gu Yuzhi ate the meal somewhat absentmindedly, his attention entirely focused on the young couple.

Their every move reminded Gu Yuzhi of his relationship with Chi Xing.
