Chapter 442: Keep your original intention
Gu Yuehuai saw that Cheng Ling looked relaxed, without any of the heaviness and sadness he had when he was in Zhoulan City. He knew in his heart that he was really used to this kind of life, but he didn't know whether he could seize the opportunity and rise to prominence in the future.
"It's getting late, let's go back." She waved her hand and pulled Bai Mei out.
"Hey, wait for me!" Wan Qinglan shouted twice, and did not forget to turn around and say to Cheng Ling: "Goodbye, Teacher Cheng!"
After they left the library, Wan Qinglan smiled and bumped into Bai Mei's arm: "Sister Bai Mei, don't you think Teacher Cheng is pretty? She's also well-educated, much better than the young people in Qing'an County."
Bai Mei didn't answer, but just smiled.
Wan Qinglan looked at Gu Yuehuai again, but before she could speak, she suddenly looked up and shouted towards the corner: "Binbin, are you here to pick up Qinglan? Take her away quickly, I'm afraid if it's any later, she will be seduced away by the night school teacher."
Wan Qinglan straightened his body immediately and looked over there cautiously. It was pitch black and there was nothing there.
The corner of her mouth twitched, and she said speechlessly: "You are so good, I was just talking casually, and you actually complained!"
"Wait here for Binbin to pick you up. We'll leave first." Gu Yuehuai rode a bicycle with Bai Mei sitting on the back seat. The two of them walked slowly towards the gate of the commune. Wan Qinglan sighed and could only watch them leave.
As soon as Gu Yuehuai and Bai Mei arrived at the door on their bicycles, they saw Gu Xihuai waiting there.
He still took a book and studied hard in the light of the street lamp.
Bai Mei jumped down from the back seat and sighed softly, "Xi Huai seems to be a good student, but I don't know when the college entrance examination will be resumed. If he can get into university, it will be considered that he has lived up to all the knowledge in his head."
Gu Yuehuai glanced at her and said, "Maybe soon, maybe still early, but it never hurts to learn more."
While the two were talking, Gu Xihuai had already closed the book. He looked up and exclaimed, "We just discussed buying a bicycle last night, and you're already doing it today? Nannan, you're really a role model for our generation! Awesome!"
He walked up to the bike with a look of shock on his face and walked around it. The brand new bike seemed to glow under the light.
Gu Yuehuai glanced at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense. If you want to ride, come and ride. Are our father and eldest brother building a house again?"
"Well, it is said that before the house was built, the task of taking over your business fell on me. Shaoyang also wanted to come, but I was afraid that he had just recovered for a few days and his condition might get worse, so I didn't dare let him come." Gu Xihuai excitedly pushed the car and said casually.
He pedaled the bicycle shakily, and soon he could ride smoothly.
Bai Mei listened to his excited voice in front of her and said with a smile: "You are usually so smart, but now you are like a child."
Gu Yuehuai also curled his lips: "Yes, the Gu family members are all children at heart, but the family doesn't have the conditions to let them be children. I just hope that no matter what happens in the future, they can keep their original intentions."
Bai Mei turned her head and looked at Gu Yuehuai. She felt that what she said was very meaningful, but she didn't understand it.
When the three of them returned home, Gu Zhifeng and Gu Tinghuai had just finished their work and the foundation was almost completed.
"Dad, this is the fifty yuan that my uncle paid back. Here, give it to you. Use it to build a house." Gu Yuehuai took out an envelope from his bag, poured out the money inside and handed it to Gu Zhifeng. It was exactly fifty yuan.
"Did you pay me back?" Gu Zhifeng was stunned, but when he talked about Gu Tianfeng, he couldn't help but think of Gu Yinfeng who had parted unhappily last time. He frowned and said, "The money was originally yours, why did you give it to me? Take it for yourself."
Seeing that he really didn't want it, Gu Yuehuai didn't say anything. He went into the inner room before going to bed and gave the money to Yan Shaoyang.
Yan Shaoyang pursed his lips and refused, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing? Shaoli and Shaotang and I already have a lot of trouble living here, how can I ask for your money? I really can't accept this."
Gu Yuehuai smiled and said, "Your brother gave it to you. He gets a monthly allowance now. Don't you know? You are in good health now. When you have free time, you can take Shaoli and Shaotang to the commune or the county for a stroll. Little girls also need beautiful clothes."
Hearing this, Yan Shaoyang gave a bitter smile, lowered his eyelids, and his eyes were filled with emotion.
How could it be an allowance from his elder brother? It was clearly his sister-in-law who subsidized them out of her own pocket. Thinking about it now, it was quite embarrassing. Except for Shaotang, they were all older than his sister-in-law, but in the end they still had to use her money to support themselves.
Seeing that he didn't move, Gu Yuehuai pretended to be angry and said, "Take it. We are all family. Why should we separate you and me? If you don't want it, do you think you don't treat me as your sister-in-law? Besides, when your brother comes back, he will definitely be mad at me."
Yan Shaoyang felt helpless and could only hesitantly reach out to take the money.
"Okay, go to bed early." Gu Yuehuai breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand and left the inner room.
Yan Shaoli is the older girl and Yan Shaotang is the younger girl. One needs beautiful clothes and the other needs candy and toys. She is usually busy and cannot take care of many things. It is just right to give the money to Yan Shaoyang. She also hopes that they can live a happier life.
Since she is married to Yan Shaoyu, his family belongs to her, so of course she won't show favoritism.
Yan Shaoyang watched Gu Yuehuai leave, clenched the money in his hand, and said softly: "Thank you, sister-in-law."
As he was talking, Gu Xihuai came into the room and sat down next to him. He glanced at the money in his hand, raised his hand and patted his shoulder, and said in a heavy tone: "I understand now, it's better to be a younger brother."
Yan Shaoyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'll give it to you if you want it."
Gu Xihuai rolled his eyes: "What are you talking about? I'm telling you, I won't accept charity!" After that, he smiled and leaned over to negotiate: "I heard that the supply and marketing cooperative has received a new batch of books, why don't we go take a look tomorrow?"
Yan Shaoyang: "..."

When Gu Yuehuai came to the Masses Daily the next day, everyone was excitedly talking about one thing.
The grain purchased from Feng City was indeed the same as the rumors said!
"You don't know, we waited in a very long line and finally bought ten kilograms!" An experienced colleague happily talked about their experience of going to Fengshi, and he couldn't help sighing when he thought of the bustling black market in Fengshi.
Wan Qinglan was surprised: "With so many people hanging out in the black market, no one in Feng City cares?"
The senior colleague glanced at her and said, "Haha, can you manage it? People are going crazy because they can't even get enough to eat. As the saying goes, whoever gives you milk is your mother. The officials can't afford the grain, but the black market can. Who do you think the people will support?"
Gu Yuehuai listened at the side and felt relieved. It seemed that Xing Jian's risky move this time might have some benefits as he could make the news bigger.
However, his eyes narrowed again immediately afterwards.
She did send a lot of food last time, about 10,000 kilograms, but the business on the black market street has increased dramatically because of Xing Jian's move. I wonder how long the food can last?
It seems that she has to find an opportunity to go to Feng City again.
