Chapter 43: Gu Zhenhua's Two Faces

"But Gu Zhenhua's conditions are not bad. How come no one is tempted?" Lin Xiangnan was a little confused.

Gu Zhenhua's monthly salary is 89 yuan, twice as much as Hu Meili's, and he can easily support his family. At this age, he can be considered a top young talent to earn this salary.

"Because other people don't know that Gu Zhenhua has been promoted. Gu Zhenhua has never told anyone. Only my dad knows." Hu Taohua poked Lin Xiangnan's arm with a smile, "This is called keeping good things within the family. When there is something good, of course my dad will think of you first."

The first year subsidy for a new soldier is 6 yuan. If he does not get promoted and remains an ordinary soldier, the monthly subsidy will increase to 26 yuan in the seventh year, and then increase by 6 yuan for each additional year of service, up to a maximum of 50 yuan. But if he gets promoted, the salary of a platoon leader will be 52 yuan per month.

In the first year of Gu Zhenhua's military service, his family asked him for money. He only received 6 yuan a month, so where did he get the money to give to his family? Not only did he not give it, he also wrote a letter home to scold his eldest brother and remind the Gu family that he was just going to join the army, not never coming back. If he continued to make trouble, he would have to do some ideological work for his eldest brother next time he came back. The brackets were made with fists.

If he wasn't worried about the letter being inspected, he would have threatened his parents as well.

With this attitude, the Gu family didn't dare to ask him for money anymore.

But this year, the Hu family raised money to build a new house, and the neighbors were jealous. The Gu family couple had no money, but they knew that Gu Zhenhua had money, so in order to win his heart and let him spend his money, they started to find a partner for him.

For the wedding banquet, Gu Zhenhua would not refuse to pay a penny, right?

If he really can't get a penny, then just let him die. He deserves to be single for the rest of his life.

In fact, Gu Zhenhua was really generous. He took a fancy to Lin Xiangnan and sent him an electric fan the next day.

"I have an electric fan in my room." Lin Xiangnan said embarrassedly, "Why don't you take it back and use it yourself?"

"There's no point in taking the gifts back. I'll only be staying at home for a few days, so I don't need the fan. You can keep it. Give it to Aunt Hu or Brother Xiaoxi. It doesn't matter."

Lin Xiangnan did not refuse, "Then put your things here. Let's go for a walk."

In today's society, even couples don't dare to hold hands on the street. Shy lovers will even deliberately keep their distance and walk on opposite sides of the street.

Fortunately, Gu Zhenhua was a thick-skinned man, so he stood not too far from Lin Xiangnan and protected him on the inside.

"I heard from my eldest cousin that you beat her until she cried when she was a child?" Lin Xiangnan asked with some suspicion: "You won't hit girls now, will you?"

"That was more than ten years ago. I haven't hit girls for a long time." Gu Zhenhua touched his nose awkwardly. "When I was a child, I didn't have enough to eat. I almost starved to death at home. I could only steal food from other children."

"He doesn't have enough to eat, but he's still so tall?" Lin Xiangnan's eyes turned envious. The genes must be very good to withstand such abuse.

"Who said I can't eat enough? I can just grab a few more kids and I'll be full."

Gu Zhenhua made a joke first, then said with some melancholy: "When I was thirteen years old, I met Granny Qian. Only with her could I have enough food. Later, she passed away and entrusted me to her son's comrade-in-arms."

Granny Qian was a martyr's family member, and her three sons died on the battlefield. She lived alone, and she had an allowance, so raising one more child was nothing. She felt that Gu Zhenhua was like her youngest son, so she treated him especially well, made new clothes for him, and forced him to go to school.

Compared to the people in the Gu family, Granny Qian is more like a relative of Gu Zhenhua, but Granny Qian died very early.

Lin Xiangnan felt a little pity and a little emotional after hearing this. She had thought that the Gu family was a bad family with good shoots, but who knew that Gu Zhenhua did not grow up crooked, thanks to the discipline of other elders.

"Grandma Qian should be very happy to see you like this." Lin Xiangnan comforted in a low voice.

Gu Zhenhua nodded gently and said softly: "I will live a good life in the future."

As they talked about their childhood and their aspirations for the future, the atmosphere between the two gradually became warm.

This atmosphere continued until ten minutes later, when Gu Zhenhua was stopped by a gentle-looking middle-aged man.

"Zhenhua, why are you here? I just happened to have something to tell you."

Seeing that Gu Zhenhua's face had turned black, Lin Xiangnan asked curiously, "Who is this person?"

"My dad. Gu Fugen."

Lin Xiangnan looked at him curiously. He was in his fifties, but he looked very young. His skin was fair and his hands were not even covered with calluses. Although his clothes had patches, they were clean. It was clear that the rumors were true. He was well taken care of by his wife and did not work at home or outside.

Gu Fugen saw Lin Xiangnan, but didn't take her seriously. He said to himself, "Your sister-in-law introduced you to a girl. She's the daughter of their brigade secretary. Come with me tomorrow to take a look at her. If you like her, take advantage of these few days off to get the marriage certificate."

The current blind date process is like this, you can get married after meeting a few times. But there are also people who can date for one or two years freely, it all depends on each person's choice.

Gu Zhenhua didn't expect Gu Fugen to actually mention this.

Mentioning another blind date in front of the person you like is like hanging yourself, seeking death.

Gu Zhenhua first glanced at Lin Xiangnan cautiously, hesitated for two seconds, and then put on a very arrogant expression, and angrily scolded Gu Fugen: "Who asked you to introduce me to a date? Dad, are you bored?"

He has a fierce look to begin with, and even when he is quiet and expressionless he looks defiant. When he frowns and looks at people coldly, murderous aura is all over him, and he doesn't look innocent.

Gu Zhenhua was a person who never gave up when he was young. When he was beaten, he would fight back even if he couldn't win. When he was more than ten years old and had strength, he dared to fight back without caring about his life. Gu Fugen couldn't beat him anymore, and the family status was instantly reversed.

Gu Fugen hated this son, but was also afraid of him. Seeing Gu Zhenhua's silently clenched fists and his muscular arms bulging, he unconsciously shrank his neck and gave a flattering explanation.

"I'm doing this for you. You're already this old."

"I've told you all, it's none of your business." Gu Zhenhua waved his hand impatiently to drive him away, "Hurry up and leave, I'm busy."

"Okay." Gu Fugen nodded hurriedly and really turned around and left.

He doesn't act like a father at all. He is even more obedient than his son.

After Gu Fugen left, Gu Zhenhua immediately forced a smile on his face and explained to Lin Xiangnan: "My dad just came to make trouble. I only like you, and I have absolutely no intention of going on a blind date with anyone else."

Lin Xiangnan was still a little dazed. Gu Zhenhua must be able to perform Sichuan opera face-changing. He has two faces.
