Chapter 41: Confidante
After listening to Su Shuoci's words, Gu Jiaojiao was embarrassed to look back again.
"Let's hurry home and see if today's buns sell well."
"Okay."
The two of them returned to the compound, and it was not yet time to get off work, but there were still many people in a hurry on the road.
Some people go back early after work to cook, and everyone they know is still not.
Seeing Gu Jiaojiao and his wife, they all automatically walked to the side of the road and looked at Su Shuoci's hands full of fish and pork with envy.
In particular, there were two cloth bags of rice and flour piled up on the wheelchair, and no one said anything to their faces.
After they walked over, they went crazy and gossip, nothing more than that it was good to marry a cripple, at least they didn't have to worry about eating and drinking.
Especially Su's mother's former colleague, "That old woman from the countryside has no skills and gets her salary for nothing." β
"Didn't she quit?"
"Hmph, it's long overdue, her son is so capable, she still lives in the factory to eat white food."
"My son is injured, and it's normal for the organization to arrange her to work." It's not someone from their factory who said.
"Have you heard? The youngest daughter of the Dong family is coming back. A woman said mysteriously.
"What is she going to do with us when she comes back?"
"Although it doesn't matter about us, but there is a lively look, when Su Tuan was not injured in the past, the youngest daughter of the Dong family pursued Su Tuan in a high-profile manner."
A woman's eyes rolled and her voice faltered.
"I'll tell you, I live next door to Dong's house, Dong Yuanyuan also threatened not to marry Su Tuan back then, but later saw that Su Tuan was injured.
cried to find her father and two brothers, and went around to help Su Tuan find a famous doctor to help him treat his legs.
Later, I heard from Doctor Jiang that Su Tuan was not only crippled in his legs, but also unconscious from the waist down.
Then Dong Yuanyuan went to the south to perform, and it was half a year to go, and I heard that he was going to be back in two days. β
"You mean that Dong Yuanyuan didn't want to get married, so he went out to perform?" A young daughter-in-law asked curiously.
"If they don't have a marriage contract, they won't marry, where do they need to escape, since they didn't want to marry before, then there will be no change when they come back."
The other, older woman, said unconcernedly.
"Before Su Tuan was crippled, there were many girls who wanted to marry him, and your youngest daughter didn't want to marry too."
"Hey, I knew that he was so capable when he was crippled, and my daughter should have married him."
Not only was the woman not embarrassed, but she also sighed with regret.
Since she dared to take it out and say something, it proved that her daughter really wanted to marry Su Shuoci.
It's just that Su Shuo, who is not crippled, is not easy to chase at all, and Su Shuoci who is disabled doesn't want to marry them.
But they didn't know that the chicken, duck and fish meat that Su Shuoci mentioned every day were all bought by Gu Jiaojiao.
Gu Jiaojiao and Su Shuo both had good ears, and although they walked away, they could still hear clearly.
"Listening to them say this, tsk, Su Shuo still has a lot of confidantes who quit you."
Su Shuoci glanced back at his daughter-in-law, "I haven't talked to anyone about marriage before, let alone a fiancΓ©e." β
"Do you feel sorry?"
Su Shuoci stopped the wheelchair and looked at Gu Jiaojiao seriously and said word by word.
"Jiaojiao, they don't like me as a person, they just like my good future back then.
If there are shortcuts in life, who has to go down a muddy road?
Later, when I was crippled, they naturally chose to retreat, so what do I have to regret? β
Gu Jiaojiao: ......
The world is sober!
Song Zijin liked Gu Jiaojiao so much back then, and after the Sheng family's real daughter returned to the Sheng family, she didn't cruelly dump her original body!
"Su Tuan, Mrs. Su, did you go out and buy so much meat again?" Su Shuoci's next door greeted him warmly.
"My father-in-law and they came, so I went to sell some meat, and you guys got off work." Su Shuo replied.
"Your father-in-law is here, he should buy more meat, hehe, then I'll go first." The neighbor stepped on the bar and walked away quickly.
thought in his heart that Su Tuan was different when he married his daughter-in-law, and he was flattered by this kind appearance.
Every time he greeted him before, Su Tuan would never bird him, so the neighbor walked a long way and looked back at Gu Jiaojiao and them.
Gu Jiaojiao was stunned when she saw his operation, "Did he get out of the car to greet you on purpose?" β
"Hmm."
When Gu Jiaojiao and the two returned home, Father Su had not come back from their stall, and the three members of the Gu family were still honestly peeling peanuts.
"Oh my God~ Grandpa, big brother, Mom, you actually peeled so many peanuts in the morning?"
"It's not much, hehe, Jiaojiao, you're back." Brother Gu said with a smile.
"Hurry up and rest for a while, and I'll wash some apples for you to eat." Su Shuo said with a smile.
The delicate grandfather and eldest brother are still very sincere, and they peeled a large pot of peanuts this morning.
"You still bought apples?" Old Man Gu was extremely surprised.
"Well, Jiaojiao said that your body needs to eat more fruits, and we also bought watermelon."
Su Shuo said that he went to the yard to press water to wash the apples, and the watermelons were also calmed with well water.
The watermelon was bought by them, and the red Fuji apples were big and red in Gu Jiaojiao's space, which was difficult to buy in this era.
Su Shuoci also intimately fetched water to wash the hands of the three members of the Gu family, each of whom had an apple, and he and Gu Jiaojiao also had it.
"Click..."Gu Jiaojiao happily ate the apple.
Old Man Gu also took a bite when he saw her like this, and looked at Su Shuoci with wide eyes: "This apple is sweet and crisp, where did you buy it?" β
"I bought it on the black market, and we also bought a few ginseng sticks today, and Jiaojiao said that the stewed chicken soup was for everyone to drink."
Su Shuoci leaned close to Grandpa Gu's ear and said mysteriously, in fact, Brother Gu and Mother Gu could also hear it.
When the three members of the Gu family saw him say this, they ate apples without any burden.
And told the two of them that the buns in the morning were selling well, and they sold out and came back not long after they went out.
Second Brother Gu also muttered that he would make a hundred more buns to sell tomorrow, which made Gu Jiaojiao laugh.
Gu's father also went to sell cold skin, so Gu's mother spoke a little louder, because their family also produced two laborers.
"Mom, you and your grandfather and eldest brother can live in peace, you have to take good care of your body, we don't lack food when Brother Shuo is rich."
"Okay, okay, Jiaojiao will go to the stall when I get better." Brother Gu said in a good mood
Gu Jiaojiao complained in her heart that Brother Gu was pursuing such a little, but she still patiently enlightened him.
"Big brother, don't you have a job? When you are well, you will go back to the original unit. β
"Can my body go back to the army?"
"Of course you can, you can go back to your job, let alone you, so you don't have any burden, just recuperate with peace of mind.
Don't peel peanuts, the red and swollen thumb doesn't stop, my original intention is just to let you have something to do. β
"Hehe, it doesn't hurt at all." Gu's mother said curtly.
They are afraid that they will have less to peel, and they are embarrassed to face their son-in-law and the Su family.
