Chapter 67: The Rich Doctor Gu

Gu Xiaoyou thought about the eight hundred taels that were shining brightly on the express station's account books, and sighed: "Express delivery really makes money everywhere."

She happily put down the curtains and continued to fiddle with her mobile phone.

At night, Gu Xiaoyou hummed a little tune and walked into the door of the house next door.

She quickly walked into the kitchen and said to Mrs. Zhou who was cooking: "Sister Zhou, I brought something delicious, a big roast goose."

Mrs. Zhou took the roast goose from Gu Xiaoyou's hand and said angrily: "Why are you spending so much money again?"

"It's not a waste of money, I'm celebrating a happy event." Gu Xiaoyou said happily.

"What happy event?" Zhou asked curiously.

"Zhu Cheng brought the account books today. How much money do you think the express station made this month?" Gu Xiaoyou said in a mysterious manner.

Zhou's hands kept moving, neatly cutting the roast goose into pieces, and casually replied: "Five hundred taels?"

"It's more than five hundred taels. I made eight hundred taels."

Gu Xiaoyou made an eight sign with her fingers and waved it in front of Mr. Zhou.

Zhou was slightly surprised, but then calmed down: "More than I expected, but not very surprising."

Gu Xiaoyou didn't expect Mrs. Zhou to be so calm, and said unexpectedly: "Sister Zhou, you are too calm."

Zhou glanced at Gu Xiaoyou with an unusually strange look: "Express delivery is very popular now. Even the women who work are discussing it. Isn't it strange that they make less money?"

Gu Xiaoyou suddenly said: "I have been in the hospital all day, but I don't know these things."

She touched her chin. If there had been communication software in ancient times, she would have read gossip every day, and she would not have been so outdated.

Zhou interrupted her thoughts and patted the back of her hand: "Okay, stop thinking about it, let's eat."

"Oh, okay." Gu Xiaoyou helped Zhou put the food on the table and called Liang'er to eat together.

Gu Xiaoyou took a few bites of the food and sighed: "The communications here are still too backward. The express delivery in my hometown is more developed."

Mrs. Zhou couldn't imagine what kind of express delivery would be more powerful than now, and said with envy: "Your hometown is really nice."

Gu Xiaoyou and Yourong nodded: "Yes, my hometown is very nice. I really hope I can go back."

After saying that, Gu Xiaoyou showed a longing look and fell into memories.

"Xiaoyou, are you leaving?" Zhou asked softly, her eyes full of reluctance.

Hearing this, Liang'er put down her chopsticks, hugged Gu Xiaoyou's arm, and begged: "Aunt Gu, don't go, don't leave us."

Gu Xiaoyou came back to his senses, touched Liang'er's head, and comforted him: "I was just talking casually, I didn't really want to leave."

Liang'er and Mrs. Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. Liang'er leaned on Gu Xiaoyou's arm and said, "Aunt Gu, you must not leave."

"I won't leave, don't be afraid." Gu Xiaoyou said softly and sighed quietly.

She couldn't leave even if she wanted to. She couldn't let lightning strike her again.

Gu Xiaoyou coaxed Liang'er, but was afraid that Mr. Zhou would think too much, so he gave her a bite of food and asked with concern: "How is the business of the paper shop, how is Yang He doing?"

Mrs. Zhou cheered up: "Business is very good. Although Yang He is a bit stupid, he works hard and can now look after the store by himself."

"Then you feel a lot more relaxed." Gu Xiaoyou filled a bowl of soup and put it in Zhou's hand.

Zhou took a sip of the soup and said with a smile: "Yes, I have a lot of extra time, so I can make more delicious food for you."

Gu Xiaoyou took a bite of the food and happily agreed, "I'm reluctant to leave for Sister Zhou's delicious food."

Mrs. Zhou finally felt at ease, served some dishes to Gu Xiaoyou, and watched her eat with soft eyes.

In order to calm Zhou's heart, Gu Xiaoyou ate and drank vigorously. After finishing the meal, her belly bulged slightly.

Gu Xiaoyou burped loudly and slumped lazily on the chair: "Oh, it's so delicious. I ate too much."

Mrs. Zhou glanced at her belly worriedly, frowned and said, "I'll make you a pot of tea for digestion. Don't make your stomach full."

Gu Xiaoyou waved her hands, wondering who she was doing this for.

"No, Sister Zhou, I can't drink anything anymore. I'm going to take a walk to eat."

Gu Xiaoyou forced herself to stand up, and Mrs. Zhou helped her to the door.

"Do you want me to accompany you?"

"No, it's getting late. You can go back and rest."

Gu Xiaoyou rejected Zhou's kindness, walked out of the house alone, and closed the brown door.

"Don't leave for too long, go home early." Mrs. Zhou warned her uneasily through the door.

"I know, don't worry." Gu Xiaoyou responded casually and walked into the alley with his hands behind his back.

In the alley, except for the weak candlelight from the houses on both sides, the road was pitch black.

Gu Xiaoyou took out her cell phone from her purse, pulled out the flashlight, and walked slowly in the alley under the light of the flashlight.

The night breeze is gentle, and the scent of flowers and fireworks is floating in the air.

Gu Xiaoyou hummed a tune and walked happily.

Unconsciously, he reached the entrance of the alley, and Gu Xiaoyou slowly turned around and walked back.

As I was walking, suddenly the alleyway was illuminated by soft light.

Gu Xiaoyou turned off the flashlight and looked around for the light source. He couldn't see anything left or right. Suddenly he remembered something and looked up.

I saw a bright moon hanging high in the black sky, and the gentle moonlight illuminated the dark night.

Gu Xiaoyou raised his head, looked at the round moon, and sighed: "I really look up at the bright moon."

It wasn't until her neck felt sore that Gu Xiaoyou looked away. She rubbed her neck and looked at the moonlight on the ground.

He sighed leisurely: "Oh, I forgot, I still bow my head and miss my hometown."

Gu Xiaoyou's originally relaxed and good mood disappeared, and her heart was occupied by deep thoughts.

"Mom and Dad, I miss you so much..." Gu Xiaoyou said in a low voice.

She was looking forward to getting a response from her parents, but unfortunately the alley was quiet and her voice was the only one dissipated in the air.

Gu Xiaoyou held up her mobile phone and took a photo of the moon.

The round moon appeared on the phone, Gu Xiaoyou touched the photo: "I hope you are looking at the same moon as me."

Gu Xiaoyou stared at the photo for a while, then put the phone in his purse.

"I don't want to think about it anymore, go home and sleep."

Gu Xiaoyou regained his energy, swung his arms, and strode towards the house...

The quiet night passed quietly, and the sun gradually rose.

Zhu Cheng rented the yard as planned, and the express station business was on track.

The profits every day were very impressive, and Gu Xiaoyou soon made back the money he paid for buying a house.

At the same time, there were a lot more banknotes. Gu Xiaoyou counted the banknotes, and the sadness in his heart was diluted a lot.

Fortunately, she still maintains her sanity and has not been dazzled by the huge wealth.
