Gu An’an woke up to find herself in the underprivileged era of the 1970s, where food and warmth were scarce. Just as she arrived, she encountered a crucial moment when her young mother, an educat...
Because of the vigilance, the Gu family was very quiet for a while. Even Dongdong and Jiang Jiang noticed that the atmosphere was not right. As for Teacher Sun, when she learned the cause and effect of the matter, she completely gave up on Ding Xiaoxiao.
Not only that, she also felt that she had dragged down An An and the others because of her fate.
Although An An didn't know what Teacher Sun was thinking, she could see that Teacher Sun was hesitant to speak these days. An An said frankly, "Teacher Sun, this has nothing to do with you, you don't have to blame yourself."
Teacher Sun smiled bitterly, "But Xiaoxiao was also involved." How could it have nothing to do with it? When she thought of Xiaoxiao's purpose of returning to this house, she was a little chilled. How could she be a lady! This is clearly an irreconcilable enemy.
An An stopped talking about it. Some things are worth repeating once or twice. If you say them too many times, it will be meaningless. The key is for Teacher Sun to figure it out himself.
The next day, Lu Yan found out that the owner of the vehicle was Fan Liu. When Lu Yan got the news, his eyes flickered, "Fan Liu?" If he really had no relationship with Fan Qi, he would not believe it.
Thinking of this, Lu Yan sighed. It was still him who implicated An An. If he could follow Fan Qi's line and continue to dig deeper, there would be no fish that slipped through the net.
After receiving the news, Lu Yan hesitated for a moment, but still greeted An An. When An An heard that the person behind him was actually related to Fan Qi, she breathed a sigh of relief. She said who would have an irreconcilable hatred with her, and the target was her, and they wanted to break up their family. I'm afraid Fan Liu was the former, Gu Wanwan was the latter, and Ding Xiaoxiao was just a cannon fodder.
An An murmured, "Fan Liu!" If Fan Liu was behind it, everything would make sense. After all, her feud with Fan Qi was just a trip to the valley when she had just come here not long ago, and she met Fan Qi.
In fact, An An did not regret what she did at that time. If she had not taken the initiative to attack, she might be the one lying on the ground now. But now Fan Liu came to avenge his brother. This...
An An was not afraid, but she did not want to be stared at from behind. She asked, "Have you found their residence?"
Lu Yan said in a deep voice, "We found it, but we were a beat late. When we arrived, they had already left." So, in the final analysis, it was a step late.
An An was not disappointed. She smiled and said, "I heard that grandma is going to have a birthday in a few days?" This was not something An An made up, but something she heard from Teacher Sun. In the past, both Teacher Sun and grandma had been dealt with.
This year is grandma's 70th birthday, so we should celebrate it in a big way. It is a custom here that when an old person in the family turns 11 years old, they need to celebrate it in a big way. When old people get older, they like to have a lively time.
Lu Yan raised his eyebrows, "You say?"
An An nodded, "It can be used." Although she didn't elaborate, Lu Yan understood the meaning.
Gu Weiqiang and Teacher Sun opened the door and came in. Gu Weiqiang agreed, "An An! Your suggestion is very good. I was talking to your mother last month. The old lady is going to have a big birthday. She has been wronged for so many years. This year there are many people and it will be lively. Let's give her a good party and make her happy."
An An didn't know how to talk to her parents! After all, her motives were not pure. On the one hand, she wanted to hold a big birthday party for her grandmother, and on the other hand, she really wanted to lure Ding Xiaoxiao and the people behind her out. After all, this was a good opportunity.
An An looked at Teacher Sun, "Mom! What do you think? But it may involve Grandma." This is the side that An An least wants to see, but it is undeniable that this is also the best way to bring out Ding Xiaoxiao.
As the saying goes, there are gains and losses, that's all.
Before Teacher Sun answered, Grandma came out of the house, she smiled kindly, "Let's do it! Xiaoxiao should come back." They all thought it was better to keep it a secret, but Grandma actually knew everything in her heart. Xiaoxiao said that she went out to buy candy, but she was just lying to her.
Even Grandma knew the real purpose of Xiaoxiao's return. It would be a lie to say that she was not sad, but ah! People! Life is not always smooth sailing. If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price, even Xiaoxiao is no exception.
An An's throat was choked, and she was a little moved, "Grandma, don't you blame me?" After all, her motives were not pure. Although they would guarantee Grandma's safety, it was Grandma's birthday after all, which was obviously a happy and auspicious event, but in the end they wanted to seduce Grandma's granddaughter Ding Xiaoxiao. No matter which old person it was, they would feel uncomfortable. Not only did they do something unlucky, but that was their granddaughter.
Grandma had a kind face and an open-minded demeanor, "An'an! Everyone has their own destiny. You! You just think too much. Just do it! Grandma knows you are a sensible child!"
Grandma was upright in the first half of her life, but lonely in the second half. In the early years, she depended on Ding Xiaoxiao. Later, Xiaoxiao left home, and she depended on Teacher Sun. For Grandma, she was unconscious most of the second half of the time, but maybe God opened his eyes. Since Teacher Sun and Gu Weiqiang were together, the warmth and liveliness of the family made Grandma really get better.
An'an was a little moved, and she really wished that Grandma was unconscious now. For her, it might be better, at least she would not be sad.
However, since grandma had said so much, she just went ahead and did it. After all, she had so many people supporting her.
An An went forward and hugged Grandma, saying with a strong nasal voice, "Thank you!"
Grandma said cheerfully, "An An! You are my granddaughter!" Saying thank you would be too formal. Grandma really regarded An An as her granddaughter, and Teacher Sun also regarded An An as her own daughter. Otherwise, when An An wanted to bring Ding Xiaoxiao out, either of them was Ding Xiaoxiao's closest relative, and would not be surprised if they casually revealed some news or stood on the opposite side of An An. After all, she and Teacher Sun and Grandma were separated by a layer of blood relationship, but they were not. On the contrary, Grandma and Teacher Sun stood on her side from beginning to end.
It would be a lie to say that she was not moved.
Teacher Sun also saw An An's expression. She was heroic by nature, and when she smiled, her facial features softened a little. "Listen to your grandma and go for it."
If there was a one in ten thousand chance, they would all be willing to help Xiao Xiao, but Teacher Sun and grandma were the typical type who would only help the courtesy and not the relatives. Even if Xiao Xiao was a little bit right, they would be willing to stand on Xiao Xiao's side, but no, on the contrary, everything Xiao Xiao did did not seem like something that one person could do.
After the matter was finalized, grandma's birthday was scheduled for three days later. Now An An and his family have established themselves firmly in this faculty and staff area. Except for the two individual neighbors, they get along well with everyone.
This time the old lady was celebrating her birthday, and Gu Weiqiang and his family were planning a grand celebration, so they had also picked up all the neighbors nearby. Some of them even came to their house on their own accord without them having to pick them up. After all, Gu Weiqiang was now considered a half-civil servant.
Moreover, Gu Weiqiang is also a good person. He gets along well with his colleagues in the office. In addition, his direct superior is Secretary Ding. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Gu Weiqiang has won the favor of Secretary Ding. Putting aside Gu Weiqiang's ability, they are still relatives!
Grandma is taken back by Aunt Ding to stay for two days every now and then. Everyone can see it. This relationship! Obviously, it is not ordinary! In addition, Mr. Lang and Secretary Ding hit it off at first sight. When he first came to Taisong County, he could still stay in the small courtyard at first. After having friends to talk to, he almost went to Secretary Ding's house every day. The relationship between the two is also good.
But! Gu Weiqiang's relationship with Mr. Lang is even better! If someone had inquired carefully, it would have been a timely help! This was a combination of kindness and luck.
Anyone with a discerning eye would have known that the people living in the Lang family's small courtyard were not ordinary people. Not to mention Grandpa Lang, there was also a national master of traditional Chinese medicine, Old Li, who was practicing medicine next to him. Every day, he set up a shed not far from the courtyard to treat people. This was a way of life. Old Li's medical skills were really amazing. Anyone around who had been treated by Old Li would give him a thumbs up when he was mentioned!
Not to mention, there was also this young man, Lu Yan. If someone had inquired about Lu Yan's background, he would have wanted to know about his background. After all, this young man looked unusual, but he was not what they wanted. They sent out countless people to inquire, but they only got one piece of news, that is, he was from the capital. As for the rest, they knew nothing.
County Chief Xu Weibing knew a little about Lu Yan's background, but how could he tell it and take the initiative to help Gu Weiqiang? You know, Xu Weibing's life is not easy now. Secretary Ding helped Gu Weiqiang up, which was bound to hinder Xu Weibing. He was angry and annoyed, but he didn't do anything out of line. Xu Weibing was so angry that he had to eat half a bowl of rice every day, but he couldn't do anything. After
these people finished talking, there was also Gu Weiqiang's iron brother Gu Huazi. Now Gu Huazi is not simple! Since entering the textile factory, he has been like a fish in water. In just half a year, he has become a popular figure around the textile factory director Hu Yuanchao.
It was a coincidence. Hu Yuanchao had asthma at the time. When he was patrolling in the factory, he suddenly had an attack. It was too late to find a doctor. Gu Huazi happened to be by his side and became his lifesaver. Now, under the personal guidance of Mr. Li, Gu Huazi's medical skills have improved by leaps and bounds and are no longer the half-baked level before.
After a few visits, Gu Huazi's eloquence, sincerity and generosity to others, and strong ability have won Hu Yuanchao's favor.
So when the Gu family held a birthday party for the old lady, almost all the important people in Taisong County came. This is the influence of the Gu family. Some people who were eating at the banquet couldn't help feeling jealous when they saw Gu Weiqiang chatting and laughing with Secretary Ding, Xu Weibing, and Mr. Lang. They pinched their throats and whispered, "How long has the Gu family moved to Taisong County? They have gotten to this point so quickly, it's really faster than taking a train!" The
people sitting at this table were all neighbors in the compound. The one who spoke up was none other than He Dali. According to the original situation, their family and the Gu family were mortal enemies, but!
The Gu family is doing so well now! She didn't want to come, but her husband Huang Shulin kicked her in the butt and beat her if she didn't come. Huang Shulin was a man who saw clearly that the Gu family had already risen, and the Gu family lived in this big compound. If they could get along better with the Gu family in the future, it would be much more convenient to do things.
So, He Dali came reluctantly, after all, she had already given a gift, and it would be a bit of a loss if she didn't come to eat.
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Aiqin beside her chuckled and fanned her nose with her hand, "Why do I smell so sour!" At this point, she glanced at Huang Yanqin who was eating with her head down, and smiled, "Yanqin! I wonder if you will regret it!"
At the beginning, it was Huang Yanqin who fell in love with Gu Weiqiang first, but Gu Weiqiang was unlucky at that time. He was first imprisoned in jail, and then lost his job after he was released. Huang Yanqin pointed out openly and secretly that the Gu family was a pit of fire, and there were so many burdens. It would be even more disdainful to abandon them.
Huang Yanqin, who was called, froze. She silently put down her chopsticks, supported her big belly, and looked at Teacher Sun who was standing beside Gu Weiqiang to greet the guests. Teacher Sun was wearing a white shirt and a pair of cropped work pants today. She was really tall and beautiful. There were many neighbors around her who were complimenting Teacher Sun. The jealousy in her eyes was self-evident. She asked sharply, "Aunt Aiqin, do you regret it?"
Zhang Aiqin spat out the melon seed shells and said bluntly, "I regret it! Of course I would. I almost became a relative of the Gu family." Zhang Aiqin loved to gossip and was a sharp talker, but there was one thing she was straightforward and she never hid her thoughts.
Huang Yanqin didn't expect Zhang Aiqin to admit it so readily. She froze for a moment, her face looking a little ugly! She took another deep look at Gu Weiqiang, and then at An An and his three siblings.
An An and Teacher Sun were wearing mother-and-child outfits today. She was also wearing the same white shirt, but she was wearing a pair of playful seven-point bell-bottom pants underneath. This dress was of course brought back from Shanghai. The department stores in Taisong County don't sell this style yet. It's really novel.
I don't know what Lu Yan and An An said. An An tilted her head, smiling sweetly, her fair skin was so fair that it looked like a perfect match when she was with Lu Yan.
Now An An and Lu Yan are in a relationship, and it's clear that things are going well.
The neighbors in the compound all know that this young man is well-off. He often drives over to see An An, and he has never come empty-handed. Basically, he always brings a lot of bags. In the eyes of these neighboring ladies, Lu Yan is a very good son-in-law.
