He worked so hard to earn money, actually to make this family live a good life.
In order to retain Ji Pianran.
Make up for his past mistakes, keep this family together, and give Tangtang a complete family.
And he himself really has no need for money.
Rich or poor, he can live any kind of life.
Upon hearing this, Ji Pianran's beautiful, indifferent almond-shaped eyes once again revealed an imperceptible touch of emotion and surprise.
Three years!
This was the first time in three years that Gu Chen had so openly called her his wife.
He said that he also had a wife, and that he also wanted his wife to manage the money.
Did he forget what kind of relationship he had with her?
Or did he really treat her like his wife?
As she thought about it, Ji's heart began to beat faster.
A face that was indifferent and delicate could not help but turn slightly red.
The dim light of the incandescent lamp cast a light shadow on her long eyelashes, which looked extremely good.
Her voice was soft and a little stuttered.
'Or, or you can keep it yourself. After all, you have costs when selling vegetables.'
'It's fine. If I run out of money, I'll just ask you for some.'
After Gu Chen finished speaking, it seemed like he remembered something.
'Right, since we're going to the city together tomorrow, we can buy you a new bed. Oh yeah, we also need to buy new clothes, one set for you and one for Tangtang.'
What's the standard New Year's outfit?
Isn't it new clothes?
If there are no new clothes, then what's the point of celebrating the New Year!
Now, although he's not even a ten-thousand-yuan household, buying clothes for his wife and child is no problem.
Ji Pianran didn't expect Gu Chen to want to buy new clothes for her.
A part of her heart softened.
She gave a small smile.
'You've just got money and you're already spending it recklessly. There's a long way to go yet. You should save your money. I don't need any new clothes.'
For Ji Pianran, as long as Gu Chen is good to Tangtang,
and can give her hope, that's enough.
She's never afraid of hardship.
'Listen to me on this!'
After Gu Chen finished speaking, she first helped Ji Bianran ladle out some soup and then picked up a chicken leg.
Only then did she ladle out some soup for Tang Tang.
The little girl had been craving food for a long time, and her meals had been nothing short of perfect during the few days since her father had returned.
She had meat to eat every day, and it was still very delicious meat.
She was also able to go to the market with her father and eat meat buns and sugar-coated skewers. These were simply the happiest days in the world.
Ji Pianran was worried about scalding the child, so she used her mouth to cool it down before feeding it to Sugar Plum.
She held the spoon, blew on it, and gave her instructions.
'Be careful, it's hot, drink slowly.'
The little girl opened her mouth wide and followed with a gulp, and a spoonful of chicken soup went into her stomach.
The taste was simply delicious.
Ji Pianran was also happy to see Sugar Plum drinking it sweetly.
She took another spoonful and carefully blew on it by the mouth again.
'Wolfberries are very nourishing. If our Tang tang drinks more of them, she'll grow up white and plump.'
Gu Chen was a little surprised that Ji Pianran could recognise wolfberries at first glance.
To be honest, Ji Pianran was an outsider.
One day, she suddenly arrived in this village.
After settling down here, she never met her parents or any relatives.
She told everyone that her hometown was very poor and she could not afford to eat since she was a child.
She fled for her life.
But how could someone who couldn't even afford to eat know about wolfberries?
It's not that they're expensive, but if it was difficult to put food on the table, who would have the spare cash to buy these things to take home?
If you can't come into contact with them, there's no way you can know about them.
Thinking about this, Gu Chen couldn't help but begin to doubt Ji Pianran's background.
Who was she really?
Where did she come from?
Did she really come here as a refugee, as she said?
Gu Chen broke open the cool pie and handed half to Tang Tang and the other half to Ji Pianran.
Pretending to be casual, she said, 'This was given to me by the old man next door, Tang. He said it was good for making soup, so I brought it back. I don't know what it's really for.'
Wolfberries are warm in nature, nourishing the liver and kidneys, nourishing yin and strengthening yang.
But how was she going to tell Gu Chen about it?
As she thought about it, Ji Pianran's face flushed, growing redder and redder.
Although she was already a mother, she was still a woman!
She really couldn't bring herself to tell a man these things in an open and aboveboard manner.
Gu Chen: '???
Why is your face so red?
Looking at the confused Gu Chen in front of her,
Ji Pianran nervously swallowed, her tone a little panicked.
'No, it's nothing, it's just for clearing the liver and improving eyesight, nourishing the lungs, boosting the immune system, and beautifying the skin. As for the rest, I'm not really sure.'
Goodness!
Gu Chen was shocked.
He had always known that wolfberries were a treasure.
They also had certain medicinal properties.
But he had no idea that they had so many effects!
What's more, they were from the north.
Their village was a little south of the equator, so they were definitely more expensive!
The key is that she has a spirit field, so if she wants to sell it, wouldn't that be very convenient?
And, maybe she could even make a profit.
But, after all, it was given to her by Lao Tang.
Lao Tang has been good to her, and if she really sells it, that would be like robbing Lao Tang of his business.
No way!
Gu Chen sighed when she thought about this.
And she couldn't help but smile.
She really is crazy about money.
If I really sell the wolfberries, my friendship with Lao Tang will be over.
Although we haven't known each other for long, we can still be considered friends.
I can't make money like this.
At worst, I can grow different kinds of broccoli, which can also make money.
As for the rest, let's talk about it after the New Year!
Seeing Gu Chen sighing and smiling,
Ji Pianran was a little confused. She paused her hand that was feeding Sugar Sugar the chicken soup.
Looking at Gu Chen, she said confusedly, 'What's going on?'
'Nothing, it just suddenly occurred to me whether I should add some wolfberries to the mix and sell them too,' explained Gu Chen casually.
'Oh,' Ji Pianran nodded, and then thought about it seriously.
'If you want to sell them, it's not actually impossible. Places like clinics and hospital entrances would probably be able to sell them at a good price.'
Upon hearing this, Gu Chen's deep pupils lit up instantly.
Yes, why hadn't I thought of that!
In front of hospitals, people are either there to see a doctor or to visit a patient.
If I sell them myself, then someone will definitely buy them.
And as everyone knows, the prices of things sold at the hospital entrance
are ridiculous.
The cost of a roasted sweet potato is just a few cents, but at the hospital entrance, it's three yuan!
A skewer of candied fruit costs five yuan!
And something like wolfberries costs at least 15 yuan!
The crucial thing is that Lao Tang only sells in two places, Beiqiao Market and Nanmen Market.
But my target is the hospital!
In this way, it will have no impact on Lao Tang's business.
Gu Chen became more and more excited as he thought about it, and gave Ji Pianran a thumbs-up.
'Good idea!'
While he was excited, he also became more curious about Ji Pianran's identity.
Did she really come here to escape?
What kind of woman is she?
