After returning from Gu Tinghua's house, Gu's mother felt very uncomfortable for a while.

The Sun family’s attitude chilled her heart.

Gu's father was also very unhappy, but this was the path Gu Tinghua had chosen, and she had to finish it even if she cried, and no one else could help her.

The Sun family originally took Gu Tinghua back because of the child in her belly, but she gave birth to a daughter, who was such a thin and weak child.

Their attitude was obvious, they were indifferent to the child and the mother. According to Gu Tinghua, from the time she gave birth until now, they hadn't even cooked an egg for her, only a bowl of porridge.

Gu Tinghua held his frail little girl in his arms on the bed and cried silently, which made the couple feel sad.

Children are all debts.

Mother Gu understood the Sun family's desire for a grandson, and advised them kindly that they would bloom first and then bear fruit, and that they would eventually have a grandson.

He also gave the things he brought with him and asked Sun's mother to take good care of Tinghua.

Sun's mother said with a forced smile that people nowadays are too pampered. In the past, they could go out to work in the fields right after giving birth.

Mother Gu choked and wanted to curse, but considering her daughter's future life, she held back.

She can't watch it all the time.

In the end, the couple left in anger.

Only Gu Tinghua was left alone on the bed, crying heartbrokenly.

She regretted why she had to listen to her grandson's mother's instructions, otherwise she wouldn't have fallen and given birth prematurely, causing the child to be born so weak, breathing in less and out more.

I don't know if I can support myself.

Perhaps it was because of the bond between mother and daughter that Gu Tinghua, after giving birth to her with great difficulty, never disliked the fact that she was a girl.

Later, the child finally survived under her careful care, but he was weak and sickly and fell ill from time to time.

End of February

Gu Tingzhou has sent a letter

He had already cleaned up the house and was just waiting for Li Qingyun and her son to come over.

Because he has been on duty continuously during this period, he will have a week or so vacation in mid-March and will come back to pick them up then.

Let Li Qingyun pack up the things at home, mail what needs to be mailed, and hide what needs to be "hidden". The vacation is limited and he cannot stay any longer. He will take everyone away when he comes back.

Seeing that there was only half a month left, Li Qingyun also started to get busy.

Gu's father and mother were also surprised when they knew that she was going to join the army. They had thought that they had built a new house and planned to live in the village permanently.

They felt sad when they thought that after they left, they would only be able to see their two grandchildren during the Chinese New Year.

"Don't cry, we can't be so selfish and ruin our two children's future just to see them more often.

No matter what, the conditions in the military area are much better than here. The two children will definitely be able to go to the children's school there and study hard. They will definitely be better than their father in the future.

Our Dabao is very smart. He just started school this year and already got two perfect scores. He may have a bright future. ” Father Gu was also upset, but he tried to comfort Mother Gu.

"I know. I just feel sad when I think about the number of times I have seen my eldest son over the years, which I can count on my fingers. It will be difficult for me to see my two children in the future." Mother Gu wiped her tears, thought for a while, and stood up again.

"No, I have to go get them some things to take with them."

"Okay, the old family has nothing, let's give them the money at home. It's true that a poor family can make a rich road. Money can make the devil work." Father Gu said after careful consideration.

“You make sense. They’re taking two children on the train, so they should take less stuff. I’ll go get the money.

We have over a hundred left after the family split up the property, why don't we give them all to them?"

"Leave some for emergencies at home. I'll give you a hundred." Father Gu made the decision.

"Okay, I'll go to the second brother's house." Mother Gu left happily.

Li Qingyun was packing up the family's clothes, shoes, socks, quilts, and many other miscellaneous items, filling several packages.

She was planning to pack these things and mail them to conceal their whereabouts.

After all, there are so many things, and if you don’t mail some of them, they will all disappear suddenly, which will be very eye-catching.

The packages of clothes and other things may look big, but they are actually very light, so the postage is cheaper.

She only kept one set of clothes for changing, and packed the rest to be sent out first. The mail is very slow now, and the package will probably not arrive there until they arrive at the military area.

There are more things left for the second baby because he is still young and changes clothes frequently. However, his clothes are very small and don’t take up much space.

Just as I was packing, Gu's mother came over.

"Are these to be mailed?"

"Yeah, otherwise we wouldn't be able to carry so many things with two kids."

"Yeah, I heard the train isn't safe. There are a lot of human traffickers and pickpockets, so you have to be careful."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries before Mother Gu got down to business.

"This is from the second brother's family. Your father and I have given it to you as a token of our appreciation. Take it.

A poor family may have a rich road ahead, but having money in hand will not make you feel worried. Two children need money everywhere.

After I split up with my eldest brother, this is all the money left. I can only give you one hundred, so don't think it's too little."

Mother Gu handed over a stack of colorful banknotes.

Li Qingyun looked up and saw that it was all made up of scattered coins of a few dollars or a few cents.

It is enough to show how difficult it was for the elderly to save this money.

He was reluctant to spend the money he had saved up bit by bit, but he generously gave it to her.

Li Qingyun felt a lump in her throat and a tear rolled down from the corner of her eye.

Although Gu's mother's original intention was for her two children and Gu Tingzhou, it must be said that these two old people were quite nice to her.

Although Gu's mother is a bit nagging, it is because of different concepts. The old lady is used to being frugal, so she can understand.

"Mom, what are you doing? I don't want it. It's not easy for you to save money. How can I take it from you?"

Li Qingyun quickly pushed it back to her.

"You must accept this money. I'm not giving it to you two. It's for my two eldest grandsons. They're still young. Please keep it for them. It will come in handy someday.

Your father and I are at home and we don’t have to spend money on food and accommodation. We don’t have much to spend money on. This year you made us a new cotton-padded jacket and a thick quilt, so we don’t lack anything.

There is basically no place to spend money at home. We only have some social interactions occasionally, but they don’t cost much.

Anyway, your father and I save money and we will leave it for our two children in the end. Although boys and girls are equally good, boys always have to support the family, so it's not as easy as girls."

Gu's mother forcibly stuffed the money into Li Qingyun's pocket.

Li Qingyun quickly took it out and returned it to her. The two of them fought back and forth like they were fighting, which made Erbao, who was watching the fun, cry.

"Wow..." Erbao was originally happily watching the two people talking, but suddenly his attitude changed. He thought they were fighting and started crying in fright.

Li Qingyun didn't care about the money and hurried to hug the child and coax him.

As soon as Mother Gu got the chance, she ran away, leaving Li Qingyun disheveled in the wind.

"This old lady..." Li Qingyun looked at the pile of change in her pocket, feeling an indescribable feeling in her heart.

She definitely couldn't accept the money. She had to take it for now to reassure them. She could find a way to return it later.
