Chapter 186 Unhappy
It was already late when Gu Wan came out of the black market. Fortunately, she had eaten at a restaurant before getting off work, and she could cook for herself in her room after returning home.
There was no need to worry about dinner, so Gu Wan planned to go back directly. As a result, he ran into Gu Xiang at a corner not far from the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Sister."
Gu Xiang was also very excited to see Gu Wan. She came over happily to say hello and even spun around with her niece in her arms.
Seeing his sister-in-law becoming more and more energetic after the divorce, Gu Wan was also happy, as she could fundamentally change a person's destiny.
It was also a benefit that Gu Wan came here. According to the environment Gu Xiangyuan was in and the viciousness and disgust of the Sun family, he would be sucked dry of blood by them and might even lose his life.
But now Gu Xiang can start from scratch and have a new life of her own.
How good!
The electric fan has been given to the director, and although he has been paid for it, the director knows the market price.
The key point is that it is difficult to find the ticket and the owner has been collecting them for a long time but there are still only three industrial coupons. She is not like Grandma Shi's son who is in the army and can get various bills and exchange them with his comrades.
The monthly supply of workers in Yangjiang County is limited, and department stores are often out of stock, so the director felt she was getting a great bargain by spending fifty yuan to buy a good electric fan.
Therefore, Gu Xiang’s situation in the supply and marketing cooperative is much better now, although there are still colleagues who are deceived by the Sun family and dislike her.
But Gu Xiang worked diligently every day to do her job well, and then won the favor of her immediate boss, so others could do nothing about it.
The excitement and joy on Gu Xiang's face had nothing to do with this. Even though she had been married for many years and divorced, she had now returned to her free life as a single person.
Especially after having more contact with her niece, Gu Xiang's thinking has also undergone a great change.
Or it can be said that women's consciousness has awakened and they have begun to think about themselves.
"Wanwan, look at my face. Is there anything different from before?"
Gu Wan was a careful girl. Upon hearing this, she looked at Gu Xiang carefully.
Then he said, "Aunt, your face is much paler than before."
The first time he saw Gu Xiang, Gu Wan noticed that the girl in front of him looked much more beautiful than before.
A white complexion can hide three flaws. In fact, Gu Xiang's facial features can only be considered regular. She is, at most, a pretty lady.
But because she always looked worried and had a dark skin, she looked even worse than the women in their thirties in the supply and marketing cooperative, and instead looked like an ordinary village girl.
But now, Gu Xiang's mental outlook has been completely renewed, which is certainly an important reason for her improved appearance.
Another thing is that she has become much whiter now, which is naturally very eye-catching.
Gu Xiang nodded desperately, "Yes, I used the moisturizer you gave me, and my face is getting whiter and more attractive every day."
There was nothing to be embarrassed about in front of her eldest niece, so Gu Xiang said it directly.
By the way, this moisturizer was also a special offer, and Gu Wan got it from the red envelope group.
It is a well-known brand in later generations. A bottle contains 200g, which is a lot.
The family members were good at carpentry, so Gu Wan asked her grandfather to make some small boxes for her to pack the moisturizer separately. The main reason was that the brand's logo was too eye-catching, and Gu Wan definitely couldn't just take it out and use it carelessly, so she divided the bottle into four small boxes and gave them to her grandmother, mother, and two aunts.
I got a total of ten bottles of moisturizer in the special red envelope group, which also cost one yuan. My grandma and mom thought they were very good after using them.
Gu Wan simply packed up the rest, and his grandfather helped make the boxes.
It was the wood that Dad and his friends brought back from the mountains. Grandpa was very happy as his carpentry skills had been put to good use.
Just as her aunt went back that day, Gu Wan gave her a bottle. After using it for only a few days, Gu Xiang felt obvious results.
Because of the electric fan incident, the director had a lot of contact with Gu Xiang. Perhaps women are naturally sensitive in this area.
"Our director also thought that I had become whiter, so she asked me what I used, and I told her the truth. Wanwan, do you still have this moisturizer? Our director said that if I could get it, she would be willing to pay this price for a bottle."
Gu Xiang stretched out a hand and gestured. Five dollars was really a lot.
The facial cleansers sold at the supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores are basically priced the same, but the small boxes that Gu Wan packed out looked like they contained much less.
Gu Xiang's director is not short of money, but he is just envious of the effect of the moisturizer, so he is willing to pay a high price.
Gu Wan also understood that no matter in ancient or modern times, women are always willing to devote a lot of effort in the pursuit of beauty.
When Gu Wan took out the moisturizer and distributed it to his aunt, he just wanted to help his aunt improve herself and had never considered making money from it.
After all, this special offer is not available every day, it all depends on luck.
If you cannot buy in the special red envelope group, the prices of items in the system mall are based on the price trends of commodities in later generations, which means they are sky-high prices for people of this era.
"Yes, but I don't have much left. Aunt, you know this thing is very useful. It was not easy to get it. I gave some to my family and there is only a little left."
Gu Xiang heard this and waved her hands repeatedly, "Forget it, Wanwan, I definitely can't make things difficult for you because of this."
Gu Wan held Gu Xiang's hand and said, "Aunt, how about this? I can spare two more bottles for you to give directly to your director. Qi Bin may have some good stuff in the future. You should interact more with the director and see if there is a chance to transfer your job."
"Wanwan..." Gu Xiang was stunned. She didn't expect her niece to say such a thing.
Gradually, her eyes turned red. Gu Xiang certainly knew why her niece said such things.
She also tightly held her eldest niece's hand, trying hard to hold back the tears that were about to overflow from her eyes, but the excitement in her heart had already reached its highest point.
Mom and Dad are right, Wanwan is a hundred times better than Xiaoman was back then, and she is worthy of being the girl of their Gu family!
Qi Bin, on the other hand, was in a dilemma and embarrassment.
At that time, his superiors gave him two months of vacation in the name of recuperation, but in fact it was to complete a special task.
In the meantime, he went to the provincial capital and even returned to the capital. In fact, it was not entirely to deal with family affairs, but also to do some work by the way.
After all, Qi Bin's abilities are there, and he knows how to make the best use of time. He can accomplish both tasks well at the same time.
But when he called his superiors again today to report the commendation, he suddenly realized a very serious problem:
The mission is almost completed = his injuries have recovered = he is going back to his original job.
So Qi Bin became very unhappy.
