Chapter 122 Don’t talk about it anymore
Gu Tinghuai's expression was also very complicated.
On the one hand, he was as angry with Gu Ruihuai as Gu Yuehuai. Even if he was not allowed to come back in the future, he would not say a word. If he did something wrong, he would always be punished.
However, he would not be able to bear it if such punishment was directly inflicted on his body.
Seeing that Gu Yuehuai was not interested, Gu Tinghuai changed the subject and slurped his noodles: "Have you finished your wall painting?"
Gu Yuehuai nodded: "Yes, it took two days to complete."
In her spare time these past two days, she cooked and delivered meals to Gu Zhifeng and Gu Xihuai, or took Yan Shaotang to the mountain to pick some fruits. Most of the fruits in late autumn had fallen, and the remaining ones were sour and small. She thought of canning them, which might taste better.
Gu Tinghuai nodded and asked, "What does the team say?"
"The work points have been settled, but we don't know about the rest yet. Let's wait until the people from the commune come to take a look. Who knows, if I'm lucky, I might be able to get a job in the Huangying Commune." Gu Yuehuai smiled and said so.
Hearing this, Gu Tinghuai's eyes lit up, and the haze that had been shrouded him because of Gu Ruihuai finally dissipated a little.
It's not all bad things that happen at home. There's always something to be happy about.
While they were talking, Gu Zhifeng and Gu Xihuai came back from work. They came very quickly, probably because they heard about Gu Tinghuai's return. No matter how bad Gu Ruihuai was, he was once a member of the family.
"Boss, what's going on? How's the person?" The voice came in before Gu Zhifeng even entered the door.
Gu Yuehuai stood up to make noodles for the two of them, and she used quite a bit of dough.
Gu Tinghuai drank the last bowl of noodle soup and burped. His turbulent emotions had finally stabilized. When he turned around, he saw his father Gu Zhifeng in a hurry.
The anxiety in his eyes was very obvious, and it was obvious that he was worried about Gu Ruihuai a lot.
Gu Xihuai, on the other hand, behaved very calmly, as if he was not curious about the outcome of the matter. His cold-hearted look was exactly the same as Gu Yuehuai. Thinking of the warm scenes of them eating together around the table in the past, one could not help but feel uncomfortable.
Gu Tinghuai recounted what had happened and there was silence in the room for a long time.
"Dad, the second child will probably follow Mom in the future." After thinking for a moment, Gu Tinghuai finally told this matter.
A short pain is worse than a long one.
Although it was normal for the son she had raised for twenty years to recognize his biological mother once he left, he would have to call Qin Wanjiang "dad" after he married into the Qin family. This change was no less than an unspeakable pain for Gu Zhifeng.
Gu Xihuai looked up at Gu Tinghuai. He had guessed it a long time ago and now it was just confirmed.
Gu Zhifeng was not completely ignorant of this. After a while, he sighed and said, "That's it. From now on, the second child will follow her. This will also be my relief. Okay, don't mention this matter anymore."
Several people nodded silently, knowing that the three words "Gu Ruihuai" would become a taboo topic from now on.
Gu Yuehuai cooked the noodles, served them to Gu Zhifeng and Gu Xihuai, and said, "Brother, it's just right that you're back. Please help me take care of Shaotang for a few days. I have things to do these days and can't spare any time."
She wanted to take advantage of her free time to continue selling food and chickens on the black market. She could earn a few dollars a day, which would be a considerable income in a month. Without a proper job, she couldn't just sit there and do nothing.
She has the Sumeru Space. Even if a militia team raids the black market, she can put things into the space. As long as no physical evidence is found and there is no proof, who can say that she is engaged in profiteering?
Therefore, there is no danger for her to go to the black market, and this is also a good way.
Although the commune is not far from the brigade, taking Yan Shaotang back and forth every day makes not only her tired, but the little girl is also tired. She is now in the period of growing up, and her mental state is slowly recovering. Everything is moving in a good direction.
Gu Tinghuai paused, thought for a moment, and said, "How about this, I'll go to work, and the third child will stay at home to take care of Shaotang."
As the eldest brother in the family, he was supposed to take care of his younger brothers and sisters. Gu Xihuai loved studying, and he spent a lot of time at work every day, so he had no time to study. Now it was better for him to take care of Shaotang than to go to work.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Gu Xihuai's eyes lit up.
Gu Zhifeng shook her head, picked up the noodles and started eating, without commenting on the children's decision.
Although he believes that everything is getting better now, and with the labor of his family, life will get better and better if they work hard, his children are grown up and have their own ideas, and he does not want to be a feudal old father who makes decisions for his children.
Gu Yuehuai raised his eyes to look at Gu Xihuai, nodded and said, "That's good."
Gu Xihuai is a good student. Things are getting better in this life, and the conditions for his study are more convenient. His journey in this life will definitely be smoother. I just don’t know if he can meet his sister-in-law from his previous life?
While I was thinking, the sound of a gong suddenly came from outside.
Gu Zhifeng was stunned: "What's the matter?"
Gu Tinghuai frowned and said, "It seems like something happened in the team. Let's go take a look?"
Gu Yuehuai was too lazy to join in the fun, so he shook his head and said, "I won't go. I'll look after Shaotang, you guys go ahead."
After that, Gu Zhifeng and the other two didn't say anything else and went out together.
Gu Yuehuai cleared the dishes, went into the room, glanced at the sleeping Yan Shaotang, and ran to the outer room to make canned sugar water. She had bought three pounds of sugar from the supply and marketing cooperative last time, and occasionally cooked a canned egg for Yan Shaotang, who really loved it.
Canning syrup is not difficult. You just need to boil the fruit and sugar in the right proportion and put them into the jar.
The sweet smell of sugar permeates the space, making people feel happy when they smell it.
Gu Yuehuai mixed some chopped lychees into the sour fruits. She was not afraid of them asking, saying there were no lychees here. If they asked, they would just say they were wild fruits picked from the hilltops. She didn't know what they were.
Just as she finished making the sugar water, Yan Shaotang woke up.
The little girl likes sweet taste. As soon as she got up, she took the bowl and drank some sweet water, which made her belly round.
She licked the spoon, and when Gu Yuehuai came to get the bowl, she moved her mouth slightly and said, "Eat well..."
Gu Yuehuai's eyes moved slightly, she reached out and touched the top of Yan Shaotang's head, and encouraged softly: "Shaotang is great! You remembered it after your sister taught you once, right? Talk more, everyone will like Shaotang more."
Yan Shaotang pursed his lips and smiled, looking no more silly than he was half a month ago.
Moreover, during this period she was fed chicken and eggs every day, and the skinny little girl has completely changed her appearance.
She had a fair face and delicate features. Her beautiful peach blossom eyes, although still not lively, were bright and not at all gloomy like before. She looked very pretty in a floral jacket made by Gu Yuehuai herself.
To be honest, when Yan Shaotang and Gu Yuehuai stand together, almost no one doubts that they are sisters.
It’s not that the two look alike, but because they both have fair skin, one a big beauty and the other a little beauty. They are like a beautiful landscape in the Dalaozi Production Brigade, very pleasing to the eyes.
