Reborn in 70s to marry a big man, Jiaojiao has one child after another
Chapter 287 Sunk Costs
Then, under Gu Zhiyuan's gaze, he nodded in compromise: "I will write to you, brother, if anything happens!"
Gu Zhiyuan nodded with satisfaction.
Someone took out something from the briefcase next to him and placed it in front of Xu Ningyan.
Xu Ningyan took a look, wasn't this the house deed?
"This is the deed of the yard where Sun Zhou lived before. It has been transferred to your name. In the past two days, people have also renovated the house there, including furniture and everything. The house here is coming soon. It's time. If you are willing, you can move there. But the environment here is better. I think you can continue to live here. Whether the yard is empty or rented to others, it is all up to you. .”
Gu Zhiyuan said slowly.
Xu Ningyan hurriedly pushed the house deed back: "I can't take this! 1000 yuan is already a lot, enough for me to live my life! I can't take this yard anymore! Take it back and give it to Brother Sun!"
"We are leaving tomorrow. I bought this yard from Sun Zhou. It's not worth much, but it still gives you a place to stay and a way out! Girls must have a house and a way out. Only then can you be confident! Don't refuse. If you really feel embarrassed, just cook me more delicious food and I'll eat it on the way."
Gu Zhiyuan said half-jokingly, and pushed the house deed over with persistence.
"Before I leave, I will tell Deputy Director Lin of the Machinery Factory and others to take care of you! Just say that I am anxious to go back because of work problems. I will come back to pick you up after the matter is dealt with. Please ask them to take care of you more on weekdays. .”
"I have thought about the method you mentioned before, and I think it is good. From now on, I will write you a letter every month, and I will also send you things! You will also send me letters and things every once in a while. In this way, in the eyes of others, we are still an unmarried couple, and at least no one will come to trouble you for the time being."
"In the future, if you have a suitable candidate in the future, just tell me, and I, as the big brother, will check it for you. If there is no problem with your character, I will help you clear up the misunderstanding, and let the situation go smoothly. Get married!"
At the end of the sentence, Gu Zhiyuan's eyes dimmed a lot, but he still forced himself to finish the sentence.
Xu Ningyan opened her mouth, wanting to say no, but looking at Gu Zhiyuan's expression and guessing his mood, she swallowed her words.
After today, even if we meet in the future, it will be a few years later. There is no need to argue with him now.
Slowly becoming colder, that's all.
However, Gu Zhiyuan was so kind and generous, Xu Ningyan had something to say, and after thinking about it again and again, he decided to say it out.
Just for this 1000 yuan and the small yard, it was worth her talking.
After thinking for a while: "Okay, I'm going to make you something to eat on the road. Brother Gu, please help me!"
Gu Zhiyuan stood up immediately, quite impatiently: "Okay, what do you want me to do?"
Xu Ningyan thought about it for a while, and in this weather, many things should not be left out, otherwise it would be troublesome if they ruined the stomach.
I can only make a meat sauce, get two kinds of kimchi and pickled vegetables, and buy some steamed buns and rice on the way. This can also be eaten.
After thinking about it for himself, he asked Gu Zhiyuan to pick all the cucumbers in the vegetable garden and make pickled cucumbers for a while. They were sour and crisp. They made a small jar and they were just appetizing to eat on the way.
As for kimchi, Xu Ningyan started kimchi last year. Two small kimchi jars are enough for her and Gu Zhiyuan to eat on weekdays.
She just threw some ginger, green peppers, long beans, and cabbage into it a few days ago. It can be eaten in the next two days. Then she will just bring a jar to Gu Zhiyuan.
As for the meat, Gu Zhiyuan hadn't been back for the past few days anyway, so if she took a piece out of the space and said she bought it, it wouldn't arouse anyone's suspicion.
After preparing the chili pepper, Sichuan peppercorns, and various spices, Xu Ningyan began to cook the meat sauce.
Gu Zhiyuan picked the cucumbers back, cleaned them, followed Xu Ningyan's instructions, cut them into finger-length and thick strips, added salt to kill the water, took them out and put them outside to dry.
Just sit in front of the stove and light the fire.
The meat sauce needs to be simmered over low heat. Xu Ningyan only needs to look at the pot after a while, and then stir it to prevent it from becoming mushy.
Preparing pickled cucumber seasoning in his hand, he saw that Gu Zhiyuan seemed to be in a better mood before he spoke: "Brother Gu, you have been away from the capital for almost two years, and you were sent down below. Auntie, aren't they worried?"
Gu Zhiyuan was stunned. He didn't expect that Xu Ningyan would take the initiative to ask about this. He couldn't help but feel happy. Does this little girl want to know about her family?
Holding back his excitement, Gu Zhiyuan said: "Of course I am worried, but I was afraid of alerting the enemy, so I kept it secret from her. I just wrote a letter to tell her that she was safe. Later, after I entered the machinery factory, I also wrote to tell her secretly. She did."
When Xu Ningyan heard this, she knew that Gu Zhiyuan was wary of his sanctimonious father, Gu Yong.
So I simply asked: "Since Commander Gu has treated you two brothers and aunt like this, why doesn't aunt divorce him? Aunt has a job. If it was to protect you two before, you are all adults now." , Auntie, what worries do you have? Or do you really like Commander Gu and can’t bear to leave?"
If Jiang Yuan was in love, she would have been so fooled by Gu Yong that she wouldn't leave without saying a word, so she would have shut up.
If Jiang Yuan had other difficulties, she still wanted to remind her, even for the sake of the 1000 yuan and the small yard.
Otherwise, the money and the house deed will be too hot to handle.
Gu Zhiyuan smiled bitterly: "If it were before, when my younger brother and I were young, she was trying to protect us both. She didn't want us to be regarded as aliens by others and be pointed at behind our backs. As for now, she is probably unwilling to do so -"
Xu Ning said clearly, this is the sunk cost effect.
It would have been better if Jiang Yuan had flatly refused Gu Yong's request when he first made it.
But she made a wrong step at that time and chose to compromise, and the rest of the way was not up to her.
In this marriage, she invested too much, suffered too many grievances, but received too little in return, so naturally she was unwilling to do so.
If you are not willing to give up, you will not let go, thinking that you can get your money back.
It's a pity that the more unwilling she is to give in to a scumbag like Gu Yong who wants everything, the more she will lose.
The authorities are obsessed, but bystanders know clearly. Not to mention Jiang Yuan, even Brother Gu Zhiyuan is probably a little unwilling, right?
The 1000 yuan and the small yard are really not that easy to get.
Xu Ningyan thought for a while and said while cutting the pepper in his hand: "Recently, I followed the department store accounting class to do accounting. I also read the book myself and learned a new term called sunk cost, which refers to what happened in the past. Investments and expenses have been made that cannot be recovered.”
"Auntie invested too much time, money, energy and affection into this family and Commander Gu, but she didn't get the same return. This is a sunk cost."
Gu Zhiyuan nodded with satisfaction.
Someone took out something from the briefcase next to him and placed it in front of Xu Ningyan.
Xu Ningyan took a look, wasn't this the house deed?
"This is the deed of the yard where Sun Zhou lived before. It has been transferred to your name. In the past two days, people have also renovated the house there, including furniture and everything.
