Chapter 53 Awkward Chat
Ding Xing has good facial features, big eyes, thin lips, and a high nose bridge, but the only regret is that she has a thick body, and her height is not high, which makes her fingers look very thick. .
And Gu Jiu looked at the five short and thick fingers stretched out in front of him, and his brows could not help but frown slightly, "No, you can either invite Jianjun and Yuanchao, they are both good at dancing."
Ding Xing sat next to Gu Jiu, "Since you If you don’t want to dance, why don’t you let me talk to you? We haven’t gotten together properly after many years of separation. Will you stay in the county recently?”
Gu Jiu raised his eyes and said, “You won’t leave for the time being. Let’s make an appointment next time for a party.”
Obviously, he has no interest in class reunions or anything like that.
The dance floor in the middle of the venue was already crowded with pairs of young men and women, dancing to the music.
Li Yuanjun rubbed his hands on his pants to make sure there was no sweat on his hands, then he stretched out his hand and imitated the protagonist in the movie, doing a very gentlemanly gesture, "Comrade Lili, I wonder if I am lucky enough to be with you?" Do you want to dance together?”
Lili’s mood has recovered now and she has become like that again. A beautiful woman with a demure temperament, she put her hand on his and said, "It's an honor."
The two slid onto the dance floor. Tang Jianjun looked at Wu Yue, who was stunning at first sight. Just as everyone was watching When he thought he would invite Wu Yue, he turned his eyes and extended his hand to one of the girls who came with Ding Xing.
"I wonder if the girl can give me a favor?"
The girl readily accepted his invitation.
Wu Yue’s face darkened instantly.
Especially the faint smile on Gu Jiu's lips, which seemed to be mocking her for thinking too highly of herself.
“Why didn’t you invite the most beautiful girl just now, but invited me?”
Tang Jianjun laughed at himself: "Because I am self-aware and know that a beautiful girl like her has high vision and will not fall in love with an ordinary little person like me. But you are different. Xiaojiabiyu is just right for struggling young people like us."
"You mean I'm not dignified enough?" The girl looked at him with a half-smile as she danced gracefully with him.
"No, no, no." Tang Jianjun quickly denied, "Each person attracts his own attention. We are here for friendship today, so of course we have to find someone who is suitable for us. In ancient times, people valued being well-matched, so that's probably what it meant."
"I didn't expect you to be able to keep your head clear when facing a beautiful girl. Not bad. Let me introduce myself to Huahua. I am an employee of the county match factory on the 21st this year." I have to say that he This performance made the flowers take a high look at him.
"Nice to meet you, Tang Jianjun, twenty-one years old, currently working in the street office."
"Have you ever been an educated youth in the countryside?"
"No, I took my mother's job."
Hua Hua pursed her lips and smiled: "What a coincidence, I also took my mother's job back then. "
Needless to say, both parents chose to retire early in order to prevent them from going to the countryside and let their children take their place.
After all, parents would be reluctant to send boys and girls aged seventeen or eighteen to the countryside.
Dancing here doesn't delay chatting, but it's a different story on the other side.
"Gu Jiu, I found that you are as bad as you were when you were a child. It's really tiring to chat with you and you tend to ignore me." Ding Xing was discouraged.
After chatting for so long, she was mostly talking alone. The other party responded from time to time, which showed that she was completely out of state.
But facing this handsome face and his long, powerful legs, damn, she actually found it a different kind of enjoyment to have an awkward conversation.
She almost suspected that she had masochistic tendencies.
Gu Jiu took a sip of tea and said, "Let's take a rest." "Thank you!" Ding Xing gritted her teeth and took a few sips of tea.
Noticing that many girls around her were giving her envious looks, her vanity was greatly satisfied. Ding Xing felt that she was good again, and she could chat awkwardly for another two hours. Not a problem.
"Gu Jiu, we have been chatting for so long and you still haven't told me where you work now?"
"No job."
Ding Xing was slightly startled, "If I remember correctly, it is impossible for you to find a job based on your family's relationship. Did you make a mistake in the provincial capital and take refuge in the county?"
Gu Jiu was too lazy to explain.
“However, it is better to live in a county town. In fact, going to work is not much fun. You will not make a fortune even if you starve to death with that little salary every month.”
“We are not far away from Guangdong Province. Recently, I heard that their policies are more relaxed and the market is particularly active."
Hearing this, Gu Jiu looked at her in surprise. She didn't expect that the so-called high school classmate in front of her could actually notice it. Changes to the next province.
Ding Xing met his gaze and smiled: "Do you think I'm particularly keen? Haha, you live in the county and haven't you noticed that there are many rural farmers picking vegetables to sell on the street every day?"
< br>Gu Jiu shook his head, he really hadn't noticed this yet.
Ding Xing raised her eyebrows: "I know you, a big man, won't pay attention to this. There are not many people who go to the city to sell agricultural products. They are scattered in various streets after entering the city. It's not obvious that you want to buy them. You also have to rely on luck to get fresh vegetables, and you may not always come across them.”
“If you pay attention to the changes in the market, you can’t do anything in vain. Have you done something?” Asked proactively.
Ding Xing leaned against the pillar at the back and nodded at him with a smile: "You are still as clever as you were when you were a child. I can't hide anything from you."
In fact, she didn't do anything earth-shattering. She just used holidays to sell some agricultural products from the countryside to the city, buying and selling them, earning some hard money every time she went in and out.
Otherwise, how can I save money on a monthly salary from my employer?
After listening to her words, Gu Jiu thought thoughtfully. He felt that this matter had great potential. At present, he only had enough time, so why not give it a try?
"What is selling better in the city now?"
Ding Xing's eyes shone brightly, "What? You, a talented man, want to buy and sell with me? I will tell you in advance, do This line of work is hard work. How can you, a young man who has never experienced hardship, endure the hardship of getting up early and working in the dark?”
Gu Jiu was looked down upon and snorted in displeasure: "Stop being so sentimental. I didn't say I would work with you. You don't care whether I can endure the hardship or not!"
Tsk, man, Just to hold on to face, going to the mountains and countryside is not as easy as it sounds, it requires real hardship. Ding Xing shook her head. Since he won't look back until he hits the wall, let him try it himself.
“Vegetables, grains, dry goods, game, as well as homespun cloths woven by rural women, fine hemp ropes, woven baskets and dustpans, etc., are all best-sellers in the city.”
If you can get scarce things, it will be more profitable.
The last time she went to the countryside to buy a tortoise, which weighed about five or six kilograms, she sold it to a state-owned hotel in the city and made a lot of money.
The money earned by that tortoise is equivalent to her monthly salary.
Of course, things like this can’t be too high-profile. If you can be low-key, you have to be low-key.
There will be another chapter later.
