Back to the 80s: Raising my Wolfy Boyfriend-Chapter 163: Buying Grain from Liu Quan in the County Town
Gu Jin calculated the remaining money in her hand as she descended the mountain.
In the afternoon, she still had to go to the county to find Liu Quan.
Nowadays, the grain and meat supplies at the supply and marketing cooperative were out of stock, and she needed to buy a large amount of rice and flour, which required finding connections under the current circumstances.
Previously, she spent money on buying stocks in Shenzhen and investing in Shenfeng Technology Company, leaving her with little money in hand now.
Her cousin repaid her money in Shenzhen, and adding the previous remaining amount, she had a total of over eight thousand; she gave three thousand to Liang Xia yesterday, and now she had more than five thousand left.
When school starts in September, this money won’t even be enough for hers and the little kid’s tuition.
Nonetheless, there were still nearly two months left, so there was no rush.
As she went down the mountain, she saw savory wild vegetables and dug up half a basketful.
Upon returning home, she removed the basket from her back and handed it to her elder aunt.
Seeing these fresh wild vegetables, her aunt grinned from ear to ear.
No wonder she did so; recent shortages meant families had nothing to eat, so fresh wild vegetables were quite welcomed.
Gu Jin returned to her room and saw the little kid studying. Walking towards the washbasin, she said, "Xiao An, come with me to the county later; we need to buy some things."
Upon hearing this, An Mingji immediately showed a delighted expression.
"Sure!"
Hearing the little kid’s joyful voice, Gu Jin curled her lips in a smile, with both her face and eyes full of affection.
...
After notifying the family, Gu Jin took the little kid and went to the county’s black market by car.
Since it was daytime, the black market was particularly quiet.
Walking along a street in the black market, Gu Jin skillfully arrived in front of the courtyard door where she first met Liu Quan.
Looking at the tightly closed door, she stepped forward to knock.
"Bang bang!"
A voice soon came from inside.
"Who is it?"
It was a familiar voice.
Gu Jin thought about it and knew the person inside should be Dalie, who usually stayed by Liu Quan’s side.
Footsteps stopped at the door inside, and a voice came again, "Who’s outside?"
The person didn’t open the door but asked again; they were quite cautious.
Gu Jin spoke, "It’s me, looking for Quan Ge."
Dalie opened the door slightly, and upon seeing that the person outside was Gu Jin, he immediately opened the door fully.
"Ah, it’s you."
He bent slightly to welcome Gu Jin inside.
Gu Jin led the little kid into the courtyard, which appeared deserted with no one around.
Dalie closed the door, led the way, and said in a low voice, "Miss Gu, Quan Ge is lying inside; follow me."
After saying that, he shouted loudly into the room, "Quan Ge! Miss Gu is here!"
With this shout, Gu Jin subconsciously covered the little kid’s ears.
"Who? Who’s here?!"
An excited voice from Liu Quan came from inside the room.
Dalie shouted, "It’s Miss Gu who went with us to see Hai Ge!"
Soon, after a noisy shuffle, Liu Quan rushed out of the room,
with his clothes unkempt, buttoning up while walking out.
As Liu Quan was buttoning his shirt, Gu Jin clearly saw the lipstick mark under his shoulder.
Seeing his appearance, she understood immediately.
Liu Quan finished dressing and saw the teasing expression in Gu Jin’s eyes; though his face didn’t turn red, he seemed a bit uneasy.
He wiped his bald head and chuckled awkwardly, "Miss Gu, what brings you here? Is something the matter?"
Gu Jin stared at Liu Quan without answering his question, looking at him with slight surprise in her eyes.
Liu Quan’s aura was unexpectedly gray, belonging to those neither wrong nor righteous.
Being a local bigwig, she thought his hands wouldn’t be clean, yet surprisingly, he turned out to be unexpectedly clean.
