After experiencing the warmth and coldness of human relationships, he was unexpectedly adopted. He had a family now.
This made An Mingji’s heart beat rapidly and uncontrollably. Happiness came too quickly for him to express in words.
"Sister Gu Jin, I will treat you well in the future!"
A thousand words converged into a single promise to treat you well.
This was the only assurance An Mingji could give at that moment.
Upon hearing this, Gu Jin’s smile deepened, but she didn’t care about his promise. Her kindness to An Mingji wasn’t to receive equivalent repayment.
She patted An Mingji’s head and said gently, "Okay."
Gu Jin didn’t know that An Mingji’s promise to treat her well was a commitment for a lifetime.
Smelling the rich aroma of meat in the air, Gu Jin smiled, "Xiao An, let’s go home and eat some meat."
The closer they got to home, the stronger the enticing aroma of braised pork became.
She knew the family surely made braised pork, and their return was indeed timely.
An Mingji swallowed his saliva, responded, and quickened his pace towards home along with Gu Jin.
When the two of them returned home, the Gu Family’s front door was tightly closed, and a dozen or more people were gathered at the entrance.
Seeing these people, Gu Jin lightly furrowed her brows and knocked on the door of the house.
"Not selling, not selling! Wait until Jin returns to talk!"
Inside, Chen Hong’s loud voice rang out.
Upon hearing the other’s words, Gu Jin raised her eyebrows slightly and yelled towards the inside, "Aunt, it’s me, I’m back!"
The people around saw Gu Jin return and flocked towards her: "Gu Jin, my child is craving meat. Can you cut me a piece? I’ll pay!"
"Yes, Jin girl, the smell of meat from your house is making my child cry from craving..."
At this time, the Gu Family’s door was opened from the inside, and Chen Hong’s smiling face appeared.
"You’re finally back, come in quickly. These people all want to buy meat, but the old man insisted on waiting for you to return!"
Gu Jin looked at the neighbors around her and said to everyone, "You all come in."
The wild boar meat at home was too much; they couldn’t finish it all. Selling it to the villagers was the best choice and could be a decent income.
Having adopted An Mingji and thinking about their future arrangements, Gu Jin did some calculations and realized they really were in desperate need of money.
Hearing this, Chen Hong quickly spoke up, "Since Jin has spoken, hurry up and come in!"
The crowd outside the door eagerly stepped into the Gu Family.
The rich aroma of meat wafting from the Gu Family almost made them cry from craving; upon entering, and seeing the hundreds of pounds of wild boar meat in the yard, their eyes shone like wolves.
Especially Gu Jiajie and Gu Minmin sitting in the yard, each holding a bowl of braised pork, eating large mouthfuls. Everyone who saw them couldn’t help but swallow their saliva.
Gu Jin walked into the yard and saw the old man of the Gu Family, sitting very contentedly on a recliner, puffing on his dry tobacco.
Even her uncle was holding a bowl of meat, standing at the kitchen door, attracted by the commotion in the yard, and came out.
From Chen Hong’s previous words, she learned that the old man was waiting for her to come back and decide whether to sell the meat to the villagers.
Gu Jin calculated the current price of meat at the supply and marketing cooperative, which was about two yuan.
Thinking of a suitable price, she immediately said to everyone, "The price of meat at the supply and marketing cooperative is about one yuan eight or nine, that’s when it’s at the cheapest. Since our family’s pork is quite plentiful now, to let everyone have a taste of meat, we won’t sell it at the cooperative’s price. We’ll sell it to you for one yuan two. If you’re interested in buying, let my uncle cut some meat for you."
