Chapter 43 Retirement Life
Lin Shu shook his head, how could she bring a tow bottle with her? She would not be able to ride a bicycle to the county seat if she brought him with her. She would have to walk more than 20 miles of mountain roads to the countryside. It would be too troublesome to take a bus to the county seat.
And when going to the county seat, you may not necessarily be able to get a car in the countryside. Otherwise, the township supply and marketing cooperative would not recruit a group of temporary porters to go to and from the county seat to pick up goods.
“You want to be lazy again!” After hearing his words, Liu Xiaoe’s first reaction was that this little son wanted to be lazy and not work again.
"The youngest went to the county town to find her friend. Why are you joining in the fun? Hurry up, wash up, have breakfast and go to work."
Lin Gang curled his lips, yawned and went outside to wash up.
Lin Shu put things in order, took a few steamed buns from the kitchen, put a basket on his back, and walked out while waving to Liu Xiao'e, "Mom, I'm leaving. I probably won't be able to make it back today. I won't make it until tomorrow." I'll go home."
"Be careful on the road and don't go out at night when staying at the guest house in the county. Also, do you have the letter of introduction in your pocket?"
"You have it with you!" , Lin Shu has turned the corner of the house.
Lin Gang raised his head and slurped a few times, spit out the mouthwash in his mouth, and then stirred the toothbrush in the cup, "Mom, you are partial, Lin Shu can stop working and want to go to the county seat Just go to the county seat, but I can’t go there if I want to.”
Liu Xiao'e turned around and glanced at him, "If you could have a youngest who is so good at making money, I would also let you go up the mountain and not let you work. When you go up the mountain, can you tell which is medicinal materials and which is firewood?"
"I'll just let Lin Shu teach me. What's so difficult about it?" Lin Gang didn't care. He grew up in a rural area. If he really went to the mountains to collect herbs, it would take only a few days for someone to teach him.
"You want to be beautiful, just go to work for me!"
"."

Lin Shu rode all the way to the county seat and first went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy claw peanuts, glutinous rice sticks and twists.
On the way to the Gu family's ancestral home on Old Street, I bought a few more kilograms of brown sugar and a few kilograms of toffee from the system, and after thinking about it, I added twenty eggs.
“Bang bang bang!”
After knocking for a long time, the door did not open. Lin Shu glanced at the lock on the door, which was unlocked. The door was bolted from the inside. Apparently, the door was locked from the inside. Someone.
Are you still sleeping?
Keep knocking.
"Bah, bah, bah"
"Here we go, knock the soul out!" Fortunately, this time a lazy male voice came from inside.
Gu Jiu thought that the people who came to see him were his bad friends, but he didn't want to open the door. Standing outside the door was Lin Shu, who was covered with dust.
He was dumbfounded, "How did you find my house?"
Lin Shu smiled brightly and raised what he was carrying, "You didn't leave me the address last time. Can you let me go in and put down my things now?"
"Sorry, I just fell asleep. My reaction is a little slow, please come in." Gu Jiu scratched the messy hair on his head and stood aside.
"I brought a lot of good things here this time. You are in for a treat today." Lin Shu happily walked into the yard and looked around. It was almost the same as the last time he came.
Gu Jiu looked at the things she brought in shock, including candies, melon seeds, peanuts, glutinous rice sticks, and twists. In addition to these snacks, there were also eggs, dried mushrooms, pheasants, and rabbits.
He scratched the back of his head, feeling strange. Lin Shu at this moment gave him an illusion, just like a new daughter-in-law who returned to her parents' home to catch the autumn wind.
There is a chicken in the left hand, a duck in the right hand, and a basket of local products on the back.
"Well. Well, Comrade Lin Shu, didn't you bring all the good things from your house?"
Lin Shu couldn't help laughing after hearing this, "You are overthinking, pheasant and hare. It's what I promised you last time, The mushrooms were picked from the mountain, and the eggs were laid by the hens at home. It’s a little bit of kindness. I hope you and Xu Ming won’t dislike it.” This thing is not worth mentioning at all.
Gu Jiu sincerely praised: "You are so capable."
"Haha, thank you for the compliment." Lin Shu glanced at the sky, "We have to deal with the pheasants and hares. I'm afraid we won't be able to make it at noon. Do you think we should inform Xu Ming to come over for dinner in the evening?"
"Okay, we'll go there in the afternoon. Inform him that I will take you to the restaurant for lunch. But you have to wait for me. I will go wash up and change clothes first." Gu Jiu looked down at the vest and shorts he was wearing and couldn't help but blush. It was so rude.
Lin Shu glanced at the kitchen he had gone to last time, "How about we eat at home at noon. Going to a restaurant to eat is too luxurious." "Okay, wait for me." Gu Jiu hurriedly walked Entered the bedroom.
Lin Shu placed the mushrooms and snacks given to Xu Ming in the living room, and carried the rest into the kitchen.
Let the pheasants and hares stay in the basket first, and then deal with them after lunch. I grabbed a lot of fungi and soaked them.
"I'm going to wash the rice right now." Gu Jiu came in from outside, skillfully measured and washed the rice, then added water and put it on the stove to cook.
Lin Shu looked at his smooth movements and asked in surprise: "Can you cook?"
Gu Jiu was amused by her words: "Pfft, you're asking this, I'm the only one who's asking Living in an ancestral home, what if I can’t cook?”
“That’s not what I meant, but you don’t look like a man who can do housework.”
Lin Shu always thought that he was a cynical young man, but he didn't expect him to wash his hands and make soup.
"What image do I have in your eyes?" Gu Jiu took a pot of beans and sat at the desk.
Lin Shu sat down to pick beans with him, but it was impossible for her to tell the truth, "You are a noble young man who escapes the world. You should not bother to do the trivial matters of the world."
"Hahaha"
Lin Shu's words, although he knew they were not true, succeeded in pleasing Gu Jiu. This was the first time he heard someone describe him like this.
"You really are."
Gu Jiu shook his head and raised a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, "Miss Fanchen, you are in a good mood today. I, the relegated immortal from the outside world, will show my skills for you."
"Then I will sit back and enjoy the fruits of my labor today. Thank you Comrade Gu Jiu for your hard work." Lin Shu also wanted to know how the food he cooked tasted.
"Hard work is beyond the pale. Miss Fanchen, do you have any taboos?"
"I'm not picky about food."
"Okay, I understand." Gu Jiu suppressed his smile and said slightly apologetically: "I didn't know you would come today, so I didn't go out to buy food. These are the leftover dishes from yesterday. It's really not a good reception. Please bear with me." ."
Lin Shu chuckled, thinking this person was really interesting.
I made two simple dishes for lunch, one fried beans and one fried eggs with chili.
When Gu Jiu said there was no food at home, he really had no food. If Lin Shu didn't come unexpectedly, Gu Jiu planned to cook some noodles for a meal.
After dinner, Lin Shu wanted to clear the table and wash the dishes, but Gu Jiu didn't stop her. He made a pot of tea while she was cleaning up.
By the time Lin Shu finished washing the dishes and came out, Gu Jiu had already made tea, and snacks such as melon seeds, peanuts, rice sticks, etc. were already placed on the ancient table in the yard.
Gu Jiu looked at Lin Shu's hibiscus-like face. Even though she lived in the countryside, her skin was not tanned. "Thank you for your hard work, come and have a cup of tea together."
In this era There are no entertainment activities. Gu Jiu's retirement life is enviable, and it will save him decades of detours.
"Comrade Gu, you really didn't go to work?"
"What, you want to persuade me to go to work like everyone else?" The expression on Gu Jiu's face became lighter.
Lin Shu shook his head: "It's too late for me to envy you to live a retirement life in advance. How can I advise you to go to work? How many people can't envy you to live a casual life."
Gu Jiu looked at it in surprise. To her, "Don't you think I'm not doing my job properly and am a real street kid?"
Lin Shu She couldn't help but laugh, "Haha, if I had your conditions, I would also be a prostitute on the street!"
However, while she is young in this life, she must work hard to make progress and strive to lead a retired life in advance, and not to be like the previous one. It's the same as in the previous life. I didn't have time to enjoy my old age, so I kicked off my legs and came back to the present.
A strange color flashed in Gu Jiu's eyes, he leaned on the recliner, threw a peanut in the air, then raised his head and opened his mouth to catch it.
Female streetwalker?
Interesting!
