Chapter 62 Fanning the flames
"Hey, you comrade, why are you so rude? I'm talking to you."

Gu Wan simply ignored him. After Qi Bin sat on the back of the bicycle, she rode away.

This time, Gu Wan rode very smoothly and no longer rode crookedly.

Wang Xiuxiu was so angry that she stamped her feet and cursed: "What kind of person is this that Brother Qi knows? He has no manners at all."

She didn't even think about the fact that the other person didn't even know her, and it was she who took the initiative to provoke the other person for no reason.

With that weird attitude, it would be strange if Gu Wan could be friendly to her.

Although there was such a strange episode, Gu Wan could guess that it was Comrade Qi Bin who had caused bad luck in love.

However, because there was only pure revolutionary friendship between her and Qi Bin, there was no way to discuss more in terms of their positions. After riding the bicycle for a while, the inexplicable anger dissipated with the wind.

Now that he has come to the county town, Gu Wan certainly cannot go back empty-handed, and Qi Bin is the best "assistant".

She asked Qi Bin to watch the car outside the department store while she went in to buy things.

Why could I lock the car outside when I went to the movies just now, but now I need someone to watch it?

Qi Bin had known for a long time that Gu Wan had her own little secret, but not only did he not reveal it, he even took the initiative to help cover it up after returning.

So the two of them went out and bought a lot of things, such as milk candy, egg cakes and even milk powder.

This tiger girl, I clearly reminded her last time that having so many good things would be too ostentatious.

As a result, it is still the same now. Qi Bin doesn't know what to say except sighing.

He naturally didn't know that Gu Wan had bought a lot of good things from the red envelope group and stored them in the storage cabinet. Every time he had the chance, he would eagerly take out more and share them with his family when he got home.

Qi Bin was just thinking, maybe it was because Gu Wan had lived in a compound in the provincial capital since he was a child and had seen too many good things, so he didn't care now?

A bicycle these days is as rare as a BMW or Lamborghini in the future. When Gu Wan rode Qi Bin into the village, he was immediately surrounded by a crowd of people.

Everyone didn't have much objection to the fact that Gu Wan was the one riding the bike with Qi Bin.

Mainly because I subconsciously assumed that since Gu Wan came back from the provincial capital, he would definitely ride a bicycle.

As for Qi Bin, he was injured and in poor health so he was recuperating here, so it was normal for Gu Wan to ride the bike.

Gu Bin immediately rushed over like a monkey and said, "Sister, sister, can I ride this bike for a while?"

"Of course," Gu Wan nodded, and then she remembered to ask, "Comrade Qi, can you let my brother ride the bike for a while?"

Qi Bin was quite happy with her unreserved attitude and nodded in agreement without saying a word.

This time, not only Gu Bin but also the other boys in the Gu family were very excited and they came forward to surround the precious bicycle.

At present, in the entire Red Flag Brigade, only the brigade leader has a bicycle, and it is not his own, but the common property of the brigade.

Every time the team leader went to the commune for a meeting, he would ride his bike there, or other people could borrow it if they needed it.

But under normal circumstances, the boys in the Gu family don’t have the opportunity to ride a bike.

Now seeing the precious bicycle, although it was not theirs, Qi Bin was at least a guest living in Gu's house. So the boys were very excited and expressed their desire to learn how to ride a bicycle.

But Mrs. Gu reminded him, "Be careful, don't damage the car."

The implication is that it's okay if a person falls, but they can't afford to pay for the damage to the car.

After returning home, Gu Wan discovered that her grandmother was taking her mother and two aunts to dry cowpeas. There were many kinds of vegetables in summer, and most farmers would make dried cowpeas from the picked cowpeas and save them for cooking in winter when there were no vegetables.

There are also sour beans. Gu Wan recalled that when she was living in the school dormitory in her previous life, the food in the school cafeteria was sometimes very bad, so she had to survive by relying on the sour beans she brought from home.

Thinking of the sour and delicious taste, Gu Wan couldn't help drooling.

Suddenly I thought that the dishes we cook at home now are all natural farm dishes, which are much more delicious than the organic vegetables grown in greenhouses in the future.

Now that we have successfully sold grandma’s handkerchiefs in the red envelope group, why can’t we sell these pure natural crops?
Gu Wan didn't know the exchange rules. The 12 yuan from the last sale could be deposited into the change balance, but could not be withdrawn as cash.

Mainly, she can also pack up sour beans, dried cowpeas and the like for one dollar.

However, due to the inequality in price levels between the two eras, the one dollar paid by people in the red envelope group for random orders is extremely valuable to Gu Wan.

Just like last time with the handkerchief, Gu Wan went to see his grandmother again, with a similar reason and this time it was more sincere.

"Grandma, don't think that everything is good in a big provincial capital. You have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy even a grain of rice or a vegetable. The problem is that you can't buy enough."

So, at this time, if she could collect some and send them to her friends, her friends would be very happy.

Then, Gu Wan not only bought dried cowpeas, but also asked her grandmother for help. She bought ten kilograms of vermicelli and ten kilograms of peanuts. All the payments were made in cash, and she even paid one cent more than going to the purchasing station.

Gu Wan was happy because he bought a lot of good things, and his fellow villagers who got a few cents from Shi Guixiang were also happy. This was really a good thing that made everyone happy.

As a result, Gu Wan's deal had just been concluded when Luo Yutong and Zhou Weihong found out and gathered around to ask for a share.

They also hoped to send some back to their families. Even in the provincial capital, everyone was short of food. Both of them knew that their families would not treat them badly if they sent the things back.

Yes, now Zhou Weihong hangs out with Luo Yutong all the time, and as a result, his relationship with Gu Wan has also improved.

This made Comrade Jiang Guoqing, who was at the educated youth point, very uncomfortable. In the past, two girls had always been surrounding him and were jealous of him.

Jiang Guoqing never publicly stated who he valued more. Instead, he enjoyed the scene of two girls being at odds with each other over him, and sometimes even deliberately fanned the flames.

Why are they all ignoring me now?
Jiang Guoqing was extremely puzzled and didn't understand why his personal charm declined so much after going to the countryside?

Gu Wan didn’t know what other people were thinking. Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn’t bother to care.

Anyway, she has to go to the commune every day, and now there is a ready-made bicycle at Qi Bin's place, so it is very convenient for her to send things.

Of course, Gu Wan enthusiastically said that she would help her good sisters take the things to the post office and send them there, so as not to affect their normal work and earning of work points.

In fact, Gu Wan didn’t care whether to send it or not. She just needed to find a reason and excuse to put these things in the storage cabinet and deal with them in the red envelope group later.

By then, she can earn more than ten yuan. The accumulation of small amounts into large amounts and the transformation from quantitative change to qualitative change will be a pleasant process.
