Chapter 444: Frank Relatives
Gu Yuehuai took his things and left the Masses Daily. He did not stay in the commune and went straight back to the Dalaozi Production Brigade.
"Nannan? Why are you back?"
"Sister-in-law? What are you doing?"
As soon as Gu Yuehuai returned, he saw Gu Xihuai and Yan Shaoyang sitting at the table reading. The two frowned at the things in Gu Yuehuai's hand and came forward to help. The various work objects in the box were enough to explain a problem.
Gu Xihuai didn't know what to say, so he just patted her shoulder and said, "Cry if you want to."
He knew how difficult it was to find such a job, and he also knew that Gu Yuehuai had put in a lot of effort. Although he didn't know why the Masses Daily dismissed her, all he could say at this time was to comfort her.
Gu Yuehuai looked at him puzzledly: "Why are you crying? I was compensated for half a year's salary, so I should be secretly happy."
Her monthly salary is 25.84, and it hasn't increased in half a year. Her half-year salary is 155, which is a huge sum of money!
Originally, she was planning to resign after Yan Shaoyu came back and follow him to the Eighth Military Region to work as a military doctor. But now, not only did she leave her job early, she also received a huge compensation for half a year. She only hoped that such good things would happen more often!
After hearing this, Gu Xihuai's mouth twitched, and Yan Shaoyang next to him couldn't help but laugh.
Gu Yuehuai washed his hands, looked at the closed door of the room, and raised his eyebrows: "Shao Li and Shao Tang haven't woken up yet?"
Usually in the morning after she and Bai Mei went to work, Yan Shaoli would go into the house and hug Yan Shaotang to sleep.
Yan Shaoyang coughed and hummed awkwardly. To be honest, they were living under someone else's roof, but there were not many people who lived such a comfortable life under someone else's roof, which made people feel embarrassed.
Gu Yuehuai didn't say much. He listened to the noise coming from behind the house, lifted the curtain and walked out.
When she walked to the back of the house, she saw a dozen men working. This was the first time she saw a house being built. Among these men were unfamiliar people from the county decoration team as well as familiar faces from the team who came here to get a meal.
Gu Tinghuai looked up and saw Gu Yuehuai, and asked in surprise: "Nannan? Why are you back?"
"Oh, you resigned. Aren't you going to the army soon? Go home and rest for a few days in advance." Gu Yuehuai didn't say it directly, not because he was afraid of being embarrassed, but because he didn't want Gu Zhifeng and Gu Tinghuai to worry about her. After all, being targeted by the leader is not a small matter.
Hearing this, Gu Tinghuai nodded. This seemed like something Gu Yuehuai could do.
"Okay, you guys go ahead and get busy. I'll go back to my room and rest for a while." Gu Yuehuai waved his hand, turned around and left.
After returning to the room, she poured a cup of hot water and sipped it while sitting on the edge of the kang.
"Oh, Nannan, did you know that the Party Secretary announced something on the loudspeaker today, saying that those who are short of food at home can go to Feng City to buy some. There is a grain street there, and the prices are the same as at the grain station. Do you think we need it?"
Gu Xihuai raised his head from the book and looked at Gu Yuehuai.
Although he knew that his family had a lot of food, it would eventually run out. No one knew what the situation would be like this year. With so many mouths to feed at home, storing more food was a way to prepare for a rainy day.
"Go to Feng City to buy grain? How did the secretary know about this?"
Gu Yuehuai was really surprised at this moment. It was fine if the staff of Mass Daily were well-informed, but how come even Wang Fu knew about it? If that were the case, the news spread much more quickly than she had imagined.
She narrowed her eyes slightly. Could the food left for Xing Jian last for a month?
"I heard that the commune has been very busy recently. Every day, there are people protesting at the door, and they are all talking about Huang Sheng's murder. People are crowded together, so there are more things to discuss. Look, Fengshi Grain Street is what everyone has been talking about every day recently."
"Our brigade has not yet run out of ammunition and food, but every household has become numb from eating yam and potatoes and needs food. As soon as the branch secretary heard the news, he reported it on the radio." Thinking of everyone's life, Gu Xihuai couldn't help but sigh.
How lucky is he to be able to have enough food and clothing every day with his sister and live in a new house?
Gu Yuehuai hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go to Feng City in two days."
She just wanted to find an opportunity to visit Xing Jian and see how the sales of the black market street were during this period, and leave some food for him. Otherwise, when Yan Shaoyu came back, she would have no time to go.
Gu Xihuai frowned: "You go alone? No, I'll go with you."
Just as Gu Yuehuai was about to speak, there was a sound of a car shutting down outside.
"Lin Jinshu is here again?" Gu Xihuai stood up, his tone somewhat impatient.
However, he soon realized that he was wrong.
"If it weren't for my elder sister, I don't know when I can get on the bus!" Gu Yinfeng's flattering voice reached his ears. Gu Xihuai frowned even tighter and looked at Gu Yuehuai unconsciously: "What's going on? Why is she here again?"
Although this second aunt was very thick-skinned, she had left on bad terms last time and he thought she would never come again.
Gu Yuehuai's eyes were slightly cold, thinking of the last time she met Gu Tianfeng at the entrance of the unit. She was wondering why she had been silent for so many years. It turned out that she failed to persuade Nie Peilan. The purpose of these people coming here together today was obvious.
It seems that my father Gu Zhifeng has been hurt today.
As soon as Gu Yinfeng got out of the car, she heard some noise behind the house. Her eyes moved and she said, "Oh, are they building a house behind this?"
As soon as these words came out, not only Gu Tianfeng who got off the passenger seat, but even Nie Peilan who looked disgusted narrowed his eyes slightly. Building a house? Gu Laosi, who was so poor that he couldn't even get enough food before, actually built a house in this food-scarce situation?
Even when the situation was good in previous years, ordinary people would not even dare to think about building kilns and houses.
"Sister, I knew it, the old lady must have left behind some great treasures, otherwise how could the fourth brother suddenly become rich? Not only did he pay back the more than 100 yuan owed to me and my elder brother without blinking an eye, he also lent my elder brother 50 yuan. Now it's even more outrageous, he wants to build a new house!" Gu Yinfeng's tone was extremely exaggerated, her eyes rolling around, full of brilliance.
Nie Peilan gathered his thoughts and glanced at her: "Alright, don't have so many tricks. You just want me to talk to the fourth brother, right? He has a soft temper and is sentimental. You just need to lower your attitude."
Gu Yinfeng narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Okay! As long as that little bastard Gu Yuehuai is not here, this matter will definitely be accomplished today!"
They chose to come here early in the morning today because they thought Gu Yuehuai was going to work, and there were only Gu Zhifeng and those stupid nephews at home. Things were almost certain. Even if Gu Yuehuai came back, they had already divided the money. So why would they still care about her?
Gu Tianfeng put his hands behind his back, acting like an older brother, but there was also joy in his eyes.
There has been unrest at home recently. My son Gu Jia and his new wife have been quarreling every few days. Whenever there is a quarrel, the daughter-in-law goes back to her parents' home and stays out for several days. Thinking about her reputation in the factory, the home is shrouded in a cloud of gloom every day.
But now it’s different. If he could send some money back home, the situation at home would definitely improve immediately!
