A delicate and gentle educated youth came to the village, and the aloof and cold soldier king droppe

"Brother Nan, I miss you so much! You don't miss me at all. I'm so hurt!" Li Ergou continued, sounding aggrieved.

Su Niannian, watching the two of them talk like that, could hardly contain her laughter.

However, being a kind person, she controlled her tongue and went to the kitchen to pour two glasses of water.

He handed it to Li Ergou, who drank it in large gulps.

The three sat at the table in the courtyard, and Li Ergou started chatting with Gu Nan.

Gu Nan also took the initiative to ask about Li Ergou's recent situation.

Li Ergou chuckled and scratched his head. "I might be getting married soon."

Li Ergou has always been carefree, so this shyness is something we rarely see.

"How's the betrothal gift preparation going?" Gu Nan asked.

“I’m all set. Everything you need will be there. I won’t let Zhao Di suffer.” Li Ergou scratched his head and continued.

"That's good!" Gu Nan replied.

Li Ergou then told Gu Nan that he had recently gone hunting in the mountains with his brothers, and that he was now getting along very well with the people at the glass factory.

Privately, they would also raise prices to help glass factories sell glass.

It will also make money.

Regarding this matter, Gu Nan advised Li Ergou to be careful.

After all, such a thing is still against the rules.

If something unexpected happens, I'm afraid I'll be arrested.

Li Ergou said that he is getting married soon and will definitely be very careful.

After thinking it over, Gu Nan looked at Su Niannian.

It seems he has something to say to Su Niannian.

Su Niannian understood Gu Nan and guessed what he was going to say.

He nodded immediately.

However, Gu Nan still planned to talk to Su Niannian that evening before deciding what to do.

"Come over for lunch tomorrow?" Gu Nan said to Li Ergou.

Li Ergou naturally had no objections. He smiled and said, "Okay."

Then Li Ergou pointed to the watermelon, some green vegetables, and cured meat on the ground next to him, "This was sent by Grandpa Jiang."

“You weren’t there then, and I couldn’t make the decision for you.”

"Grandpa Jiang will leave it here," Li Ergou said.

At first, Su Niannian and Gu Nan didn't notice, but now they saw that there were several large watermelons, seasonal vegetables, and a piece of cured meat placed at the entrance of the warehouse.

This might not mean much to Su Niannian, but these things were definitely the best items in Grandpa Jiang's house.

"Okay!" Su Niannian replied, deciding that she would invite Grandpa Jiang over for a meal before she left.

"Uncle Jiang drives an oxcart to take people to the county town every day. How about we invite Uncle Jiang over for dinner tomorrow night?" Gu Nan said to Su Niannian.

Su Niannian thought so too, and nodded.

“Okay!” Su Niannian replied.

"Then I can still get a free meal tomorrow night!" Li Ergou said without any hesitation.

Su Niannian smiled and said, "Of course! You brothers haven't seen each other for so long, you should meet up and chat more often."

Li Ergou grinned.

My brother Nan really married a good wife.

Li Ergou plans to bring some food and drinks with him when he comes over tomorrow.

Although he was just there to make a living, he had a good relationship with Gu Nan.

But he couldn't just come empty-handed and eat straight away; he wasn't that shameless.

After seeing Li Ergou off, Su Niannian and Gu Nan returned to their room.

Tonight, the four soldiers stayed in the room that Gu Zhendong used to live in.

Tian Guangzhi and Guo Futian accompanied Old Master Bai to stay in the room that originally belonged to Gu's mother and Gu Ningning.

Gu Nan and Su Niannian still stayed in their own room.

There was some dust on the earthen bed, but it has been cleaned up.

Fortunately, some old quilts and bedding were not taken away, otherwise it would have been really difficult for people to live there.

Everyone was exhausted after a long day, so they extinguished the candles and went to bed early.

A candle was still lit in Gu Nan and Su Niannian's room.

"I'll go to the county town tomorrow morning to buy some food, prepare some delicious dishes and rice at home for lunch, and have another meal in the evening."

“We’ll leave the day after tomorrow!” Su Niannian said to Gu Nan.

Gu Nan nodded.

Then I told Su Niannian about my previous thoughts.

Su Niannian agreed, "It's just that we can't keep too much of the ingredients for making braised meat, and we can't come back all the time."

Su Niannian had previously thought that Li Ergou could run the braised meat business, but the ingredients were supplied to Lü Hongliang every three days. If Li Ergou were to run this business...

Surely we can't leave these materials for several months or even longer at once?

"We can mail it. We can send a package from Beijing to Long County and have Li Ergou pick it up in Long County," Gu Nan said after thinking for a moment.

"It's still somewhat unsafe."

“If you ask me, we should wait for another year or so, until Song Zhaodi gets into university and they leave Kaoshan Village.”

"When the economy opens up, I will have many businesses that I can entrust to them."

"It's definitely better than secretly selling braised pork offal like this now!"

"What do you think?" Su Niannian asked Gu Nan. If he insisted on his original idea, Su Niannian would agree.

At most, they'll just say the sauce mixed with the spiritual spring water is concentrated, so Li Ergou will add less each time and reduce the amount used.

This will allow for a longer period of time to serve the seasonings.

Gu Nan really wanted to help Li Ergou, after all, when Gu Nan still had a bad family background, Li Ergou stayed by his side.

She never looked down on Gu Nan.

Moreover, when Gu Nan got married, Li Ergou gave Gu Nan a wedding gift, and the gift money was quite large.

One hundred yuan was a number that Gu Nan hadn't expected.

Now, he also hopes that Li Ergou can live a better life.

But what Su Niannian said also makes a lot of sense.

"Then let's wait a little longer." Gu Nan listened to Su Niannian's suggestion.

"For Li Ergou's wedding this time, you will give a gift of money, and I will also give a gift of money to Song Zhaodi."

“Give them more money, so that they can live a better life in Kaoshan Village.”

"Moreover, I think Song Zhaodi is a very smart person. I hope that she can get into a university in Beijing after the college entrance examination is reinstated."

Su Niannian leaned against Gu Nan's chest and began to speak.

Gu Nan rubbed his chin against the top of Su Niannian's head. "Yes."

The two hugged for a while, then got up and tidied up the things they had bought for Li Ergou, Song Zhaodi, and Sister Wu Baozi.

We'll distribute them to them when we see them tomorrow.

They extinguished the candles and fell asleep in each other's arms.

At the other educated youth settlement, Sun Siyuan got up to use the toilet in the middle of the night. When he came out of the toilet, he saw a white figure appear in front of him.

It flew past me in a flash.

Sun Siyuan immediately squatted down, covered his head, and shouted that there was a ghost.

This has happened many times before, so even if someone hears Sun Siyuan shouting, they don't bother to pay him any attention.
