Idle Chats in the 60s

Jiang Mengxue dreamed that she would return to several decades ago. She decisively sold all her property and filled the warehouse space of the bracelet left by her grandmother.

When Gu Qingbe...

Chapter 301: Watching the Fun

Gu Yuyan was afraid that she would get used to writing on the ground and would not be able to write with a pen in the future, so she taught her how to hold a pen and even gave Liu Daya the notebook she usually used to practice.

However, Liu Daya always hid the things outside. If Liu Jinbao saw them when she took them home, she would definitely lose the chance to keep them.

So even though Liu Daya has never been to school, she can recognize and write some common words.

Liu Daya was very happy to see that the walls of the clinic were covered with old newspapers.

She likes to read these, likes to read books, and likes to read books that describe the outside world.

Jiang Mengxue was helping other girls treat their wounds, and Liu Daya stood up and stuck the newspapers on the wall.

She didn't expect that Liu Daya could actually read. In the countryside, even girls who could read were rare, let alone girls.

Many people in the countryside believe that as long as they take good care of the crops, it doesn’t matter whether they can read or not.

Moreover, it is very difficult for a family to support a scholar.

No matter what era, if there is someone in the family studying, that is definitely the biggest expense for the family.

"I didn't expect you could read. Can you understand the words in the newspaper?"

Liu Daya was a little embarrassed. It was the first time she saw so many newspapers and so many words, and she was a little excited for a moment.

"Well, Yuyan taught me. I recognize most of the words on the newspaper, but there are some I haven't seen before."

Jiang Mengxue finished what she was doing and took out a Xinhua Dictionary and a pencil from the drawer of the table.

“If you don’t know something, you can look it up in a dictionary, and if there are words you don’t know in the newspaper, you can mark them with a pencil.

Can you use a dictionary?"

Liu Daya wiped her hands on the sides of her pants before carefully picking up the Xinhua Dictionary.

Look through it carefully.

"I've never heard of the Xinhua Dictionary. Isn't this something you can just look at directly?"

Jiang Mengxue took the dictionary and taught Liu Daya how to look up unfamiliar words.

"The dictionary was published only two years ago. The purpose of the dictionary is to help people learn more characters. Especially when you come across a character you don't know while reading, you can use the dictionary to look it up."

Li Daya listened very carefully. Jiang Mengxue just taught her briefly once, and Li Daya figured it out by herself. She had a good understanding.

After dealing with everyone, Jiang Mengxue wrote down the names of Liu Erhai and Liu Sanhai, as well as the work points to be deducted.

It's getting late now and it's already dark, but the weather has been very good recently and the moonlight is very bright, so there's no need for a flashlight when walking outside.

"Okay, it's getting late now. The old man and the old lady will definitely have to stay in the clinic tonight. We'll see how things go tomorrow and then decide when to go home.

You guys discuss it, someone must stay behind tonight to keep watch. Our clinic is empty at night, so if you need anything, just call me at my house."

How could Jiang Mengxue stay up here late now? She has done everything she can. As long as her family members are watching over her, it's fine.

Sun Fenfen pulled Liu Erhai's clothes and shook her head at him.

Liu Erhai also knew that they still had things to discuss when they returned home tonight, so of course he couldn't stay.

Aren’t the two elders most partial to Liu Laosi’s family? It’s time for him to stay and fulfill his filial duties.

"Fourth brother, your parents love you the most. This time, it is because of your family's affairs that they are so angry. You and your family should stay and serve them.

Especially Liu Jinbao, his parents love him so much, as a grandson, shouldn't he stay here in this situation?"

Liu Sihai just wanted to stay. Without the backbone of the family, what would he do in the future? The most important thing now was the money in his parents' hands.

But he knew that all the money in the house was collected by his father, and no one knew where it was.

So he must wait here tonight until his father wakes up, and then ask him where the family’s money is.

So I didn’t get angry with my two brothers anymore, as there would be plenty of time in the future.

"Okay, I'll stay here and watch over you. Xiaolian, you can go back with the children."

Of course, the whole family can’t stay here. What if our house is robbed?

Jiang Mengxue collected all the things that needed to be collected and locked them up. She was indeed worried that someone would come and steal them, as there were people like that.

Li Cuiying had been waiting at the door, but she didn't come over to cause trouble because she was afraid of delaying her.

After Jiang Mengxue came out, Li Cuiying came to greet her.

"Xiaoxue, how are the old couple from the Liu family? What happened?"

Just now I saw that the people from the Liu family all had injuries on their faces and their clothes were torn.

It’s obvious that they just had a fight at home. Could they have beaten their parents as well?

The neighbors had heard the Liu family fighting at home a long time ago and were lying outside watching the fun.

It didn't take long for the news to spread to everyone around.

It would be inconvenient for them to ask the Liu family right now, so Jiang Mengxue, who had seen it with her own eyes, was naturally everyone's target.

"Doctor Xiao Jiang, what happened to the old couple of the Liu family? Were they beaten by their sons?"

Another person nearby retorted, "Where did you hear that fake news? I heard that the old couple had a fight, and some of their sons assisted Old Man Liu, while others assisted Old Lady Liu. Then the sons started fighting again, and now the whole family, young and old, has joined in. Didn't you see that all the Liu children were injured?"

Everything depended on speculation, and Jiang Mengxue realized the power of rumors.

There are no telling how many versions of the Liu family story are circulating out there.

However, Jiang Mengxue didn't know much about this matter, but it was true that the two old men had no injuries on their bodies.

Even if there are some wounds on the head and arms, they should have been accidentally injured when he fainted, and definitely not caused by a fight.

"Everyone, please stop guessing. The old man and old lady of the Liu family fainted. We won't know the details until they wake up, but it wasn't caused by a fight, and they don't have any injuries on their bodies."

As soon as Jiang Mengxue said this, the crowd started to make noise again, and it was the people who had just made so many speculations.

Gu Zhengxing had just finished his meal at home when he heard someone say that something had happened at the Liu family.

But if something big happens again, I will rush here as soon as I lose my job.

I just happened to hear what Jiang Mengxue said, and knowing that it was not my son hitting me, I let them go down without worry.

"Alright, alright, let's all go our separate ways. Stop gossiping. Everything good or bad will stink in your mouths."

Gu Zhenxing said hello to Jiang Mengxue and Li Cuiying, and went to the clinic to find the Liu brothers.

Wang Daya didn't even wash the dishes. Seeing Gu Zhenxing running out in a hurry, she followed him out.

When can't I wash the dishes? It's more important to watch the fun. If you go too late, you can only listen to the remaining rumors that have been spread countless times, and you don't know whether they are true or not.

When he saw Jiang Mengxue, his eyes lit up and he ran over: "What's going on?"

Li Cuiying pulled the two aside and said, "Why are you here too? His uncle just left to go to the clinic."
