Chapter 224 The Last Wish of a Second Married Man
After returning to Nanpo Village, Gu Laoliu gave some money to his nephew, Gu Mingrui, the eldest son of Gu Dage, and said, "Go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some fruit candies and bring them back for the aunties and sisters who followed us to Muli Village today."
Old Lady Gu snatched the money, poked Old Six Gu’s forehead twice with her fingers, and said through gritted teeth, “You’re such a spendthrift.”
She immediately gave the money to Changan, "Anan, use it to buy candy. Don't worry about this. I will go and thank them."
Gu Laoliu touched his nose. It was the first time that someone poked his forehead like this. The old lady was really bold.
He pulled out a wad of money from his pocket and said, "Come on, come on, anyone who sees it gets a share."
Gu family brothers and sisters-in-law: Is he mentally ill?
"What are you looking at? It just so happens that each of you brothers is fifty."
There is a big gap between the rich and the poor in the Gu family. Everyone knows that he has so much money, and he doesn't want anyone to ask him for money when they have some problems in the future.
It would be better to just divide it up like this. After all, he and his daughter are in their first year of college and first year of high school, so they are not short of money.
The sisters-in-law, who were already feeling a little unbalanced, now felt mixed emotions. In the Gu family, only the fifth and sixth sons lived the best lives.
The other four brothers all worked hard in the village, earning a few work points to make a living.
If there were no comparison, most people would be living like this now, so they wouldn't have any ideas?
Isn’t this a comparison? When they first married into the Gu family, they didn’t think too much about it, but now that they have made the comparison, they can’t control their thoughts.
Of course, it’s not all the sisters-in-law who are thinking this. The four brothers of the Gu family also feel a little unbalanced. They are all born to the same parents, so why are only the fifth and sixth brothers living a good life?
However, they will adjust that imbalance by themselves, and they will be friendly and respectful to each other in life without any conflicts.
Old Mrs. Gu didn't say anything. After all, she also hoped that the brothers could help each other, and those with better conditions could appropriately help those with worse conditions. However, she did not quite support this method of giving money directly.
But she couldn't stop it, otherwise she would become a biased old lady in the eyes of her son and daughter-in-law.
"Okay, go do what you need to do. Did you earn your work points? Did you wash your clothes?"
Zhou Cuihe's problem has been resolved. Old Mrs. Gu has no plans to persuade her son to get married for the third time. She is also afraid that if she meets someone like Zhou Cuihe again, her son's life may not be saved.
The Gu family members all went to work. Gu Laoliu and Chang'an went into the mountains, and then asked Dayi and Gaoyi to come out.
"Go see if you can find some jobs in town? Temporary workers are fine. The people in the Gu family are okay. They have some small ideas, but they are not bad. For the sake of Old Lady Gu, you can help them appropriately."
After Gu Laoliu finished explaining the matter, he waved his hand and asked him to leave. "If you don't have anything to do, don't come to the village so often. Go and have fun by yourselves."
The freshman and senior responded, "Yes," and left quickly.
The father and son walked around the mountain, and Chang'an took out a hare and a pheasant from the space, then took a small path to go home away from people.
Chang'an feels that as a boy now, she can do whatever she wants.
Look at those kids in the village wearing open-crotch pants. How young do they look?
Although they avoided people, they still met a little girl on the path.
The girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with two pigtails, which were a symbol of the era, and a small sack in her hands.
Changan whistled in his heart, "Oh wow, it's the heroine, she married the poorest wolf cub in the village, raised the cubs, helped the hero reach the pinnacle of his life, and then was despised by the hero for being old and ugly, abandoned in middle age, and had a miserable old age."
"There are so many good-looking people in this world, why are you obsessed with rough guys? Isn't he good as the second male lead? He has everything you want, and he is also a patriotic young man who has dedicated his life to scientific research."
"Forget it, don't think about it anymore. The heroine is just so blind that she thinks trash is treasure."
"The male protagonist has nothing good except a good face and a nice body. I really want to interview Comrade Shen Zhiyi. Is it easy to live with such a blindness?"
Shen Zhiyi was confused at first, and finally heard her own name. Oh, it turned out that he was scolding her?
No, when did she fall for the wolf cub? Stop spreading rumors.
It took her a while to react. Oh! No one is talking.
Changan saw Shen Zhiyi as if he had seen a ghost, "What are you doing? I've given way to you, why don't you go ahead and leave."
Shen Zhiyi:......
Very good, confirmed, it is the child in front who is speaking, but his mouth is not moving.
Oh my god! She has the ability to hear other people's thoughts?
Shen Zhiyi's eyes were flashing with a "bulinbulin" light, and now Chang'an was confused.
"Why does she seem so excited as if she found five million? Since she won't leave, let's go. It's really a waste of time."
Chang'an grabbed her father's clothes and left. She was not interested in standing there staring at the heroine.
You may have good luck or bad luck when you go out today.
Said nonsense.
Halfway along the way, they met the protagonist's younger brother and sister. They looked the same age as Chang'an, but in fact the sister was seven years old and the brother was eight years old.
In the rural areas in the 60s, not to mention children aged seven or eight, even children aged five or six started picking grass for pigs to earn work points.
But the hero, Zhong Huaizhi, dotes on his younger brothers and sisters, always saying that they are still young and should wait until they grow up before going to work. Even when the family was so poor that they could not even afford to eat, he never let his younger brothers and sisters dig wild vegetables.
The original owner would play with all the children in the village except the two children from the Zhong family.
It's not that he looked down on them or anything, it's just that subconscious dislike for them that prevents him from playing with them.
The original owner had tried to play with them before, but the effect was not good. The two children from the Zhong family kept emphasizing that the original owner had everything, while they had nothing.
It went something like this: "An An, your dad is so good to you that he bought you Jiefang shoes. My brother and I have never worn Jiefang shoes."
"An An, your grandma is so nice. She made steamed egg custard for you. We don't even have eggs at home. We don't even know what eggs taste like."
"Wow, An An, your vest is so nice. We are nothing but patched clothes."
……
It was understandable that the original owner was unwilling to play with the two of them. If it were Chang'an, and they kept nagging like this in front of her, she would be able to make them doubt their lives.
Chang'an didn't say hello to them, but walked past them quickly with her father.
She didn't say hello to them, but they would call her. Zhong Huaijing took his sister's hand and caught up with them in a few steps, "An An, did you and your father go into the mountains? What's in your backpack?"
He stood on tiptoe and reached out to grab the backpack in Gu Laoliu's hand, without any sense of propriety.
Gu Laoliu had never seen such a child before. He raised his arms slightly to avoid his touch and put the backpack on his back.
Chang'an raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at the brother and sister indifferently, and said coldly: "The basket is filled with shit, do you want to open it and smell it too?"
