Chapter 275: The Weak Sister of the Heroine in the Period Novel (21)
"Sister-in-law, I'll invest in your business too," Gu Zhen took out a wad of money from her bag, "I've saved some royalties over the past few months, not much, 800 yuan. Every time you go to buy goods, bring me a few."
Wang Hui stretched out her hand to refuse: "You keep it for yourself. Your brother and I have saved some money in the past few years. If you want something, we can bring it back together."
They earn 40 yuan a month, which is 80 yuan for two people. They have only been separated from their parents for a year, so they don't spend much money.
This time I go out, I plan to take 2000 yuan with me.
Gu Zhen gave her the money and said, "We are close brothers, but we have to settle accounts clearly. When your business grows bigger in the future, and you despise my little money, I might even shamelessly ask you to give me some clothes!"
Although Wang Hui is not good at speaking nice words, she is a tenacious woman. In the original book, Gu Dalin went to prison, and she raised her two sons well by herself.
Gu Zhen believed that she could definitely make this business a success.
Seeing that everyone asked her to take it, Wang Hui smiled and accepted it. If she made extra money, she could just give some to her sister-in-law.
Rong Pei didn't want to give the money directly, so he took out the magazines he had prepared long ago from his schoolbag and placed them on the table.
"Hong Kong Province has been exchanging goods with Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Most of the clothes you bought are from Hong Kong brands. These are the latest popular styles. If you don't know what to choose, it should be right to follow this."
Wang Hui had complete trust in her sister-in-law and future brother-in-law, so she flipped through the magazine upon hearing that.
"Oh my god! What kind of clothes are these? Can they be sold?"
Gu Zhen took a look and was amused: bell-bottom pants, floral shirt, frog-eye glasses, exaggerated colors, and flamboyant dresses were completely different from the blue, green, and gray clothing styles seen on the streets today.
"Sister-in-law, believe me, this will soon become popular all over the country. A strong wind will blow over from Hong Kong Province, and our lives will be completely changed!"
Gu Zhen flipped through the magazine with great interest and couldn't wait to put on the red dress, a sun hat and sunglasses and walk around the street in style!
Wang Hui gritted her teeth. Since her sister-in-law was so determined, why not give it a try!
She was a woman of action. She went back to get the money, packed her clothes, took her two children to Gu Xiande, and then bought train tickets to the south with Gu Dalin.
After sitting on the train for more than a day, the two were exhausted and had backaches. The moment they exited the station, they were dumbfounded. This place was like two different worlds from usual.
Many people have actually started to bravely wear clothes that they have only seen in magazines.
Wang Hui and her husband looked at each other and saw excitement in each other's eyes.
They took the contact information given by Rong Pei and went straight to the market...
.
Gu family.
Gu Zhen is working on her manuscript. She is a real workaholic in this era.
Rong Pei and he were squeezed at a table, translating a famous foreign book.
The two little nephews were full of enthusiasm and pestered their future uncle-in-law to teach them foreign languages.
Rong Pei had no choice but to put down his pen temporarily and take them to the outer living room, where he read the sentences in the book one by one in French.
Gu Xiande was extremely satisfied with his son-in-law. Not only was he good-looking, he was also well-educated, and his family background was top-notch!
Now when he walks in the staff quarters, he feels proud.
Moreover, it was only after the steel plant went bankrupt that the family found out that the house they had been allocated was arranged by Secretary Rong through connections!
Rong Pei never even mentioned the fact that he had helped so much, which shows that he was working sincerely without expecting anything in return.
At that time, his daughter didn't agree to date anyone!
Gu Xiande listened happily to the chattering foreign languages, hoping that they would graduate and get married soon.
Just when we were enjoying the moment, Xi Hongmei came back with bags of vegetables in her hands.
"Old man, come with me again, there are a lot of vegetable vendors outside, no tickets required, not only are they cheap, but they're also fresh!"
When Gu Xiande heard this, he thought that his daughter was right. Everyone can do business in the future!
"Come on, come on, is there anyone selling fish or meat? Let Rong Pei eat here at noon, and we'll make a good meal!"
Rong Pei quickly stood up and tried to refuse, but the two elders wouldn't let him. They took the money and left, and it looked like they were going to prepare a full banquet today.
Gu Zhen told him to sit in the room and feel at ease, because if he didn't eat here, the old couple would be unhappy.
Rong Pei took his two nephews to the store outside to make a phone call. His mother's gentle voice came from the other end: "Let Zhenzhen come home some other day. I'll find a master to make a cheongsam for her as well."
This shows how familiar they are with each other.
Gu Zhen is highly educated, well-educated, has a bright and generous yet charming appearance, and a lively and lovely personality, and is very much liked by the Rong family.
Rong Pei agreed with a smile. Until now, he still felt that it was a great fortune to be able to catch up with Gu Zhen.
Thinking about Gu Zhen's kindness, he treated the Gu family even better. He took his two nephews to the store to pick out a lot of snacks. Now they didn't need tickets and could buy whatever they wanted.
When Gu Zhen got home, she took a look at him and glared at him. This man's way of currying favor with the Gu family was to buy, buy, buy.
He never came empty-handed. Gu Zhen teased him whether he wanted to empty out the Rong family's house.
Rong Pei's heart was moved by her look. While the two children were eating, he hugged her and whispered something in French.
It is a line from that famous book, translated into Chinese: Love comes from nowhere, but it is deep and lasting...
Gu Zhen blushed, such a straightforward and pure emotion.
Who says people of this era are reserved? When they become bold, it is hard to resist.
Rong Pei really wanted to bend down and give her a kiss, but the most outrageous thing he had ever done was hugging and kissing Gu Zhen...
Looking at the other person's delicate red lips and flawless white cheeks, Rong Pei was distracted.
His thoughts drifted far away, and he didn't come back to his senses until the two elders came in talking and laughing. Although he looked fine, his ears were already red.
Xi Hongmei didn't notice anything unusual about the two people. She was so happy that she went crazy. Today might be the first time that outsiders set up a stall, so the products could be sold at a very low price!
"Stew a chicken, steam a fish, and make braised pork. Old man, you go kill the fish and I'll chop the chicken!"
While eating, Gu Zhen saw Xi Hongmei pour the chicken soup into the thermos bucket and put some meat and vegetables on it. She should take it to Gu Manman's house later.
Poor parents in the world. I wonder if the heroine still feels that her parents are biased.
After dinner, Gu Zhen and Rong Pei went in to wash the dishes. Gu Zhen took off her apron and followed Xi Hongmei when she was about to go out.
"Mom, let me go with you. I haven't seen my second sister since I came back!"
I want to see who this heroine is.
Xi Hongmei thought that her youngest daughter had forgiven Gu Manman, and she was happy. As a parent, who would want to see their children become enemies?
"Then let's go. Your second sister will probably be happy to see you."
