Chapter 276 is back
In the next few days, Gu Jiu will go to the countryside to find sources of goods, and Lin Shu is also busy collecting herbs in the wild, so he has no time to pay attention to this group of people.
It wasn’t until more than ten days later that this group of people came back from outside in a panic and went to the front desk to book a room with their passports.
"Have they been away for more than ten days, why are they back again? It looks like their expedition was frustrated."
Lin Shu came down from upstairs and noticed this group of slovenly and slovenly people. The foreigner talked to Gu Jiu about her guess.
Gu Jiu noticed that some foreigners were lame in their legs. They must have been injured. "Our northwest region is vast and sparsely populated, and the environment is harsh. Foreigners who are not familiar with the terrain and climate come here and can drink a pot."
This group of people only suffered minor injuries, which were not life-threatening. They were lucky.
The two of them did not pay too much attention to these foreigners. When they left the guest house, Lin Shu asked: "Today we will go to the market to see if there are any specialties. Then we can buy more as gifts."
< br>"Okay, I'll listen to you."
The purpose of coming to the northwest has been achieved, and a trade route to the Western Regions has been unexpectedly expanded all year round, and a lot of dried fruits can be exchanged with them.
Raisins, paper-skinned walnuts, red dates, wolfberries, etc. are all raw materials needed by food factories.
The animal husbandry industry is developed in the northwest. Although it is still a collective economy, there are still a lot of beef and mutton jerky on the market.
In Province H, meat is still a rare commodity.
Buying and selling must be based on votes.
Lin Shu bought two sacks, which was a bit much, but it would be good to take them back as gifts or put them in a restaurant for cooking.
After buying the specialties for their return trip, they spent two days in Yushi and the couple bought return train tickets.
The train had to change trains when it arrived at the ancient capital. Everything else was easy except that there was a lot of luggage. Only two sacks required Gu Jiu to carry them twice before he could move them off the train.
Fortunately, I moved to the platform and borrowed a trailer from the ground staff to drag my luggage to the platform on the other side.
All the luggage was loaded into the car and pushed under the bed of the sleeper. Passengers in the two adjacent berths asked in surprise: "What do you have in this sack? I think it is not light."
Gu Jiu stuffed all the sacks under the bed. Just as he sat down to take a breath, he heard the passenger ask, "Some beef jerky, mutton jerky."
"Hiss~" The two passengers in the same carriage took a breath.
Meat costs nothing. How much money does it cost to buy so much at one time?
The two travelers are middle-aged men in their thirties and forties. Judging from their attire, they should be cadres of their work units, who are on a business trip to the ancient capital.
They also had a pen in their chest pocket, a watch on their wrist, and their hair combed back. This look was the favorite look of men with some status in this era.
“From your accent, I think you are on a business trip to the northwest. You bought so much dried meat at one time, when will you eat it?”
They suspected that so much dried meat would mold after being eaten for a long time.
"It's not mine alone. I brought some for others and gave some back to my relatives and friends. There isn't much left." Gu Jiu replied casually.
The middle-aged man looked at the clothes of Gu Jiu and Lin Shu and felt that they must have good family backgrounds, otherwise, they would not be so ignorant of the sufferings of the world.
Who buys meat in sacks?
Gu Jiu and Lin Shu didn't know what the two middle-aged men were thinking. Now the train started moving, so they lay on the bed and started reading to pass the time.
It was three days later when we arrived in Province H.
"Uncle, auntie!"
As soon as the train pulled into the station and stopped, they heard Gu Youhui's voice coming from outside. The two of them looked at the window and saw the boy standing there. The platform was seeing them.
Gu Jiu shouted outside: "Hurry up and help me carry my luggage."
"Okay, I'll go find you right away." Gu Youhui glanced at their approximate location and ran towards the car door.
Lin Shu checked that all the luggage was packed. When Gu Youhui came up, he asked his uncle and nephew to each carry a sack. Lin Shu got out of the car with the luggage in both hands.
After getting out of the car, Gu Youhui turned around and asked the two people following him, "Uncle, aunt, I smell a meaty smell in this sack. Isn't it possible that the sack is filled with dried meat?" ? "You guessed it, one bag is beef jerky and one bag is mutton jerky."
"It's all jerky?" Gu Youhui was amazed, and then asked: "You bought so much, is the jerky in the northwest very cheap?"
Lin Shu smiled and said: "It's not cheap, but I just want to buy it. It’s more convenient than here, and the dried meat is cheaper than here.”
As the three of them walked towards the exit of the station, they chatted about the customs, customs and cultural characteristics of the northwest.
When Gu Jiu asked about the situation of Dabao and Erbao at home, Gu Youhui smiled sheepishly: "To be honest, I have been busy recently and I don't know much about Dabao and Erbao's situation."
As he said that, he glanced at Lin Shu: "It's just that little aunt My relatives came to the provincial capital a few days ago. I heard that they lived in my uncle’s house. I originally wanted to live in your house, but my uncle and grandma didn’t agree.”
Gu Youhui followed Dabao Erbao. People, the uncle and grandmother he mentioned were Lin Wei and Liu Xiao'e.
Lin Shu knew that the relatives he mentioned were Lin Mei and Aunt Lin. She was relieved when she heard that her family did not let them live in her home.
At the same time, they were also angry that the two of them had come to the provincial capital to seek refuge.
She had no sympathy for Lin Mei's current end, and deep down she felt she deserved it.
In the last life, her reputation was ruined by Lin Mei, and something unexpected happened later. Although there were the efforts of the Xu Ting brothers and sisters, not a single snowflake in the avalanche was innocent.
Similarly, brothers and sisters Lin Mei and Xu Ting are the main culprits that caused her to be homeless for half her life.
Lin Shu: "They are living at my brother's house now. They didn't cause any trouble, right?"
"I haven't heard of it."
Gu Youhui felt that even if there was a conflict, grandma would probably not tell anyone about it.
The three of them left the station and loaded their luggage into the jeep. They came to pick them up specially today. Gu Youhui brought Gu Changsheng's special car.
"Uncle, grandpa knows that you are coming back today, so I asked you to have a good rest today and go to the old house for dinner tomorrow."
"Okay, I got it, just concentrate on driving. ”
Although there are few cars on the road in this era, there are a lot of people and cars on the road, especially cyclists, so be careful to scratch them.
After returning home, Gu Jiu unloaded his luggage and the two grown men carried it up to the second floor together.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Dabao and Erbao lying on the couch, sleeping soundly.
"Oh, you are back?" When Liu Xiaoe saw Gu Jiu entering the room, she exclaimed in a low voice and stood up to greet him.
“Why did you come here with a sack? What’s in it?
"Grandma, this sack is filled with dried meat, which is a specialty that my uncle and aunt brought back from the northwest."
Gu Youhui placed the sack in the corner of the restaurant, returned to the door, and took it from Gu Jiu The sack was carried over and placed in the corner.
Gu Jiu and Lin Shu didn't have time to take care of their luggage. They said hello to Liu Xiao'e and gathered around the sofa.
Looking at the two children sleeping soundly with their bellies open, I haven’t seen them for more than a month, and I miss them very much.
It wasn’t until I saw them now, scanning their faces, hands and feet with my eyes to make sure they were well, that my worried heart calmed down.
Liu Xiao'e poured tea for the three of them and said with a smile: "The children are all well. You have worked hard to get back. Please drink some water and have a rest."
Lin Shu couldn't help but touch the two children. Little hands, "Mom, this section of Dabao and Erbao" Are you good at home? "
"Both children are good, don't worry."
It may be that the mother and son are connected. Lin Shu touched Erbao's hand. The little man felt nothing when he fell asleep.
But when he touched Dabao's hand, the boy seemed to feel something. He slowly opened his eyes, rubbed his eyes, and saw Lin Shu's beautiful face, "Mom~"
