Chapter 40 The last wishes of the unfortunate father and daughter in the 60s (End)
The captain now looks at the people of the Gu family with as gentle a look as possible and speaks to them in a soft voice, truly treating them like treasures.
Maybe even his ancestors were not treated so well.
Old Shen's family saw the rise of Lao Liu and had planned to take action against him. This time, he didn't need to show up. Before Old Shen's family could even jump in front of him, they were dealt with by the captain.
"Uncle Shen, Auntie, you can't be so shameless. It was you who drove Lao Liu out of the house and cut off all ties with him. Now that you see that the father and daughter have become successful, you want to recognize them back.
So what benefits do you want to take advantage of?"
Old Lady Shen looked at the captain sideways and said confidently, "I gave birth to him. I gave him a chance to live. If you want to end it completely, then he should give his life back to me."
The captain was amused by her anger, "Heh, did he ask you to give birth to him? When you gave birth to him, did you ask him if he wanted to be born?"
Seeing that she still wanted to argue with him, the captain quickly waved his hand to stop her, "It doesn't matter what you think. In short, don't go find Lao Liu and his daughter, otherwise Qinghe Brigade will not accommodate your Shen family."
He walked forward a few steps and then stopped. He did not look back, but said in a low voice, "You are the only family with the surname Shen in Qinghe Brigade."
So they can’t find any external help. The Xie family usually has internal conflicts, but it cannot be said that they are not united. The two families may be fighting one second, and they can unite to face the outside world the next.
Old Man and Old Lady Shen also understood the seriousness of the situation, and went back home somewhat unwillingly, thinking about blocking Gu Laoliu and his daughter on the road one day.
But they never found an opportunity. During this period, they had a dream. In the dream, the entire family of the fourth room died, and the current Gu Laoliu was not their son.
The old couple broke out in a cold sweat, "You dreamed about it too?"
Old man Shen was still in shock and nodded without saying anything.
After a long while, he said, "Is this true?"
Old Mrs. Shen thought of the strange things that happened when the family was divided. She always thought it was done by Shen Mingbao. Now she thinks that it might be the ghost that occupied the body of the fourth son who was causing trouble.
The next day they went to the brigade headquarters to report Gu Laoliu and his daughter, but they couldn't say a word.
They were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They supported each other and returned home. They fell ill that day.
The two elderly people in the Shen family are seriously ill, but there is no one to take care of them by their bedside.
Old Mrs. Shen’s beloved eldest son and his family of five went to his mother-in-law’s home, which was more than 20 miles away. It was said that his father-in-law was ill.
Shen Laoer's wife suddenly fainted in the field. The family sent Shen Laoer's wife to the county hospital for treatment. They had patients in their own family and could not spare time to take care of the old couple.
Only Shen Laosan's family was left, and they did not react quickly enough, so the task of taking care of the elderly fell on them.
In this life, Shen Mingbao no longer has the aura of the male protagonist. He stopped going to school after elementary school. He is really not good at studying. He is lazy and gluttonous at home, and his weight is approaching that of his previous life.
His two elder sisters were already married and his parents had to go to work, so he was the one with the least time at home, so Shen Lao San asked him to serve the old couple at their bedside.
Letting such a lazy person take care of the patients, the outcome is predictable.
Within a few days, the stench of feces and urine from Old Shen's family spread outside, and even the neighbors who lived close to their house could smell it.
I talked to Mr. Shen and his wife many times, but they didn't listen and didn't care.
The old couple lay in bed, scolding their son and grandson, but they did not dare to scold Gu Laoliu. Even though they were sick and lying in bed, they wanted to continue living.
I thought so, but he died in less than half a year because he was lying in bed with no one to take care of him.
The death of Old Man and Old Lady Shen did not cause much stir. Some villagers mocked: "What's the use of having so many sons? They will still starve to death in their hospital beds."
No matter where the three brothers of the Shen family go, they are pointed at and talked about. The children in their family who are not yet married have their weddings delayed again and again, and they are getting older.
In contrast to the old Shen family, the Qinghe Brigade is thriving and its development has basically stabilized. Gu Laoliu and Chang'an no longer ask about the affairs of the brigade. They rarely go out and do not take the initiative to stroll around the village.
In their freshman year, they all quit their jobs and returned to live in Qinghe Brigade.
Gu Laoliu deliberately downplayed the villagers' attention and continued to live in seclusion in Qinghe Brigade for eight or nine years.
It was not until after 1980 that the household contract responsibility system was implemented in rural areas. A group of nine people went to say goodbye to the team leader who had become an old man.
"Captain, thank you for your care over the years. We are here to say goodbye to you. Hope you take care of yourself!" Da Yi and the others were waiting outside, only Gu Laoliu and Chang'an entered the captain's house.
"Where are you going?" The old man is actually only in his sixties, but he has worked hard for the development of Qinghe Village over the years. His hair has turned white and his face has more wrinkles than his peers.
Thinking of the current situation outside, the captain nodded again, "Young people should go out and take a look. They can't stay in this small village all the time."
"This is the key to that yard. You can do whatever you want with it," Gu Laoliu returned the key to the small yard to the captain.
"You're not coming back?"
Gu Laoliu just smiled and didn't answer, only saying: "Take care of yourself!"
The captain followed them closely and sent them to the village entrance. He watched with tears in his eyes as they walked away and disappeared into the night, no longer visible to him.
He slowly raised his hand and waved twice, "Goodbye!" The two words were only audible to him.
He did not tell Gu Laoliu that he once had a dream in which Shen Laosi died. Later, there was no Gu Laoliu or Gu Changan, and nearly half of the Xie family members in Qinghe Village starved to death.
Because of his wrong actions, which led to such a situation, he felt ashamed to face his tribe members, so he resigned from the position of captain and died in front of his ancestor's grave to apologize.
In reality, with the emergence of Gu Laoliu, no more deaths occurred in the village. The father and daughter helped the villagers live a life that everyone envied.
"Thank you!"
.........
Gu Laoliu and Chang'an took Dayi and the others on a trip abroad, gave Dayi an identity as a wealthy Chinese businessman, and then the group returned home in a grand and high-profile manner.
As a returned overseas Chinese, they chose Yu County, which was beyond everyone's expectation. They didn't understand why they chose a small county instead of a big city.
Dayi didn't explain much, just said lightly: "I'm happy to."
The person who raised the question: Okay, you have foreign exchange, you are the boss, just be happy.
The freshmen and senior high school students were negotiating with external parties and handling work matters, while Gu Laoliu, Chang'an, and the other six were hiding at home playing Landlord.
The idle ones are like farting, and the tired ones are like being a dog.
To be rich, build roads first.
The first road to be widened was from Qinghe Village to the town, and then from the town to the county. All of them were widened and made into cement roads and equipped with street lights.
Establish scholarships and financial aid funds in schools.
Roll up, kids.
Student: Thank you!
He did not invest in a factory in his freshman year, but registered an investment company. However, he did not invest in anything profitable and just spent money throughout the process.
All the money was spent on urban infrastructure construction.
When the people above thought they were going to engage in construction, they turned around and started tourism development, and they were not the shareholders of the company.
But it was the people who handed the antiques to them.
Almost twenty years have passed. Some of the elderly have passed away and the shares have been passed on to their descendants. Of course, not everyone can hold shares. One has to examine their values, character and choose the right person to inherit.
A large museum has been built in the central area of Yu County, which displays antiques that were collected from the homes of fellow villagers in those years, and some of them were "brought back" from abroad.
Then he built a large shopping mall, a large amusement park, and a supporting high-end hotel. Half of the operating income was used for charity and the other half was used for national weapons research.
The large-scale development of Yu County has attracted investors from all walks of life, and many grassroots will also rise from here.
