The Tight Embrace of the End Times

The master happily went home with the salt in his arms. On the way, someone asked him: "Old Li, what are you holding in your arms! You look like a baby, let the big guys see it."

The master chef said with a smile: "It's salt, it's salt. I just went to Gu Leng's house to cook the kang, and he gave me a bag of salt. I was worried that there would be not enough salt in winter. Hey, I almost forgot about it." Yes, before I left, he told me to tell you that he still has a lot of salt over there, and you can exchange it with freshly picked cotton. If you want to exchange it, hurry up. The quantity is limited, first come first served. "When he said the last sentence, the old master dragged his voice, and wanted to drink loudly like he used to go from house to house.

The surrounding villagers looked at each other and rushed to tell each other that if they were so fast, they would have gone home to pick up the cotton and came to Gu Leng's house with the jar.

After the teacher left, Gu Leng took out the salt stored in the space, and moved it to the hall downstairs with Xiao Qiao, and found a scale from the storage room, which was sold with his grandfather before. Weighing the dishes, I touched the weighing lever nostalgicly, and sat in the hall downstairs waiting for someone to come to the door.

The first person to come was an uncle from the village that Gu Leng was not familiar with. He put down the cotton in his hand, rubbed his hands together and said, "Xiao Leng, I'm here to change the cotton. How did you change the salt?"

"A catty of salt, half a catty of cotton." This is what Gu Leng had discussed with Xiao Qiao before.

In this way, every household can change a few catties of salt, which is enough for six months of cold winter.

Moreover, Gu Lengyiyan didn't do it for profit, and he didn't want to hoard it. He mainly wanted to exchange some cotton for the little ones.

"Really!?" The villagers who came to change the salt looked surprised, "Well, then I will change them all. How many catties of cotton do you say, and I will change everything I bring into salt."

Gu Leng weighed it. In the huge bag, there was a total of 4 catties of cotton, so Gu Leng weighed 8 catties of salt to the uncle. The uncle carefully took out the clay pot and filled it with salt, hugged it happily and walked away .

Next, more and more people came to trade salt, and the two became completely busy.Everyone who walked out of the gate of Gu's house had a look of surprise on their faces.

For them, the price Gu Leng offered was too affordable, as if they had taken advantage of it, they went home happily.

Gu Leng looked at the bag, there was only some salt left at the bottom, and when the next person came, we should take less cotton from him and give him all the salt.

While arranging the cotton they received, the two waited patiently for the arrival of the last villager who traded salt.

Someone knocked on the door politely, reminding Gu Leng of his arrival.

Gu Leng straightened up, looked back, and couldn't help frowning.

"I should have said that day, I won't trade salt with you." It was Gu Lin, Zhao Chunru's husband who came here.He was wearing a bunt, showing his strong muscles, holding a bag of cotton in his right hand, and still keeping the posture of knocking the door with his left hand. His eyes were firm and he looked extremely polite.

He looks like a human being, he advances and retreats politely, he is more polite than the villagers in front of him, but what this man has done is really disgusting, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a gentle scum.

"Isn't it okay if I exchange double the amount of cotton for salt? I did something wrong, but I just played with that woman Guan Lulu and didn't sleep with Zhao Chunru, so what? If you don't give us salt, you want Kill our whole family!"

"Hehe, I don't have such great ability, please go back, you are not welcome in our family." Gu Leng sneered, there is really no need to be angry with this kind of person, he still doesn't know what he did wrong?Still don't know why the villagers reject him?It is also a kind of talent.

"You helped that woman Zhao Chunru so much, did you fall in love with her? When you saw her, just say, I'll bring it to you, and I'll take away your leftover salt." Gu Lin rushed up to grab the salt. .

Xiao Qiao took a step forward, grabbed Gu Lin's neck with one hand, and lifted him up with one hand.With a serious face, he said: "Go back and brush your stinky mouth well, and if you dare to talk nonsense again, be careful that I will kill you."

As he said that, he carried Gu Lin to the yard and threw him to the ground. Gu Lin was frightened and broke a few teeth. His mouth was full of blood. He even forgot to take the cotton. Staggered away.

There was a moment of silence in the hall.

"Am I too fierce?"

"Good fall, wash his mouth with blood, and see if he dares to talk nonsense."

Xiao Qiao came over and hugged Gu Leng from behind, and buried her face in his neck.loiter. "I get angry when I hear people gossip about you."

Gu Leng rubbed Xiao Qiao's hair: "An'la, Anla, if I hear someone arrange you like this, I'll be angry too, even more ruthless than you."

Just as the two were about to kiss again, there was another knock on the door.The two separated immediately, they were not interested in performing intimacy in front of outsiders.Looking up at the gate together, three black lines appeared on their foreheads.

This, this is really a couple. The husband knocks on the door, and the wife knocks on the door. As soon as the husband left, the wife came.Isn't it Zhao Chunru who is standing outside the door?

"No, didn't I bother you two?" Can you just say, we still want to kiss, were you interrupted?

In fact, the relationship between Gu Leng and Xiao Qiao, at the beginning, people in the Gu family village only thought that Xiao Qiao was here to join him. After a long time, some aunts and uncles in the village wanted to introduce wives to Gu Leng and Xiao Qiao, but they were politely rejected by them. The aunts and uncles who did not give up even went to Yuan Qinghe and asked him to persuade Gu Leng that the child was getting old and was going to marry a wife.

Besides, in an environment where information cannot circulate in the last days, how difficult it is to find a suitable partner.Not to mention two high-quality and capable young men. For a while, neither of them dared to walk in the village, because when they met an aunt, they would be pulled aside and forced to listen to how good their daughter was. , how much work you can do, how cute the child you will give birth to in the future... Gu Leng bit the bullet and refused, and the aunt gave her a look of "you boy is so ignorant".

The two refused a lot, and some elderly people in the village saw signs of it.What can be done?These days, children can live as they like, just live.

Unexpectedly, the freedom of love was realized in the last days!

Since then, no aunts and uncles rushed to sell their daughters. Gu Leng didn't care what they thought, and the two only cared about their own lives.

"You are here because of the salt, right? If you want to use it, I can trade it to you for a catty of salt and half a catty of cotton. If Gu Lin asked you to come, then you can go back."

"Gu Lin called me here." Xiao Qiao showed a dangerous expression, and Gu Leng also turned cold, as if to see off the guests.

"Listen to me first." Zhao Chunru said hastily.

"I came here for two things. One is, I, I hope I can get some salt from you on credit. It's not for Gu Lin to eat, but I want to eat salt myself, but I don't have cotton in exchange." Here, Gu Leng raised his eyebrows, a little interesting.

Zhao Chunru hurriedly continued: "But don't worry, I can spin cotton and weave cloth, but I haven't asked the master to make the loom yet. When the master has finished the loom, I can take on some work. , at that time, it should be feasible to collect some cotton or food as labor costs, and then I can pay it back, don’t worry, I won’t take it for nothing.” Zhao Chunru assured.

Gu Leng nodded: "Okay, you can continue."

"For the second matter, I would like to ask you to do me a favor. I, I want to divorce Gu Lin before winter really comes. I know you may think this idea is too naive. I am a woman, how can I live in the last days? ?” As she spoke, she laughed at herself, “It’s hard and tiring, I’m already mentally prepared, I’m already mentally prepared for the days after divorcing Gu Lin, I don’t rely on anyone, and I won’t give to the village Trouble, I can do it alone, I would rather live a hard life, and I don't want to be with Gu Lin anymore, Gu Lin, trampled on my self-esteem, humiliated my dignity, no matter what, this marriage, I am It's time to leave." This cowardly and pitiful woman who has always been looked down upon by the Gu family villagers expressed her opinion so clearly for the first time, and let out a decisive roar.

Zhao Chunru was already in tears, with a distorted expression.But Gu Leng really felt that she was astonishingly beautiful at this time, the most beautiful woman who dared to fight against fate.

After calming down the turbulent emotions, Zhao Chunru calmed down, and she clearly expressed her worries: "However, Gu Lin will not agree. If I can't spin cotton, he will probably be happy to divorce me. However, I am now an important labor force for his family, and they cannot easily let me go. This is why I came to you today. At that time, I will go to the village chief to divorce me It's up to you, if there is no accident, this matter will become a big one, and when the time comes, the whole village will come to watch the excitement, I hope you can stand by my side and speak for me."

"I know that this is a bit difficult, and it's something that offends people, but I can't help it. I only think of you. Only you can do this. Only you, in the village, have such a big influence."

Zhao Chunru looked at Gu Leng longingly, Xiao Qiao really wanted to turn her face away, she didn't dazzle people with such big eyes! !

"Okay, we agree." Without waiting for Gu Leng to answer, Xiao Qiao made the decision and agreed.He knows what his friend is thinking. He has disliked Gu Lin for a long time, and he also likes to help the weak. Can he not agree?

Zhao Chunru still looked at Gu Leng eagerly, and he had to agree with Gu Leng himself.

"Okay, I agree." Gu Leng quickly agreed.If you don't agree, I don't know what Xiao Qiao will do, this jealous guy.

It's sweet to have such a jealous partner, but sometimes it's a headache.
