Chapter 95 Uncle and Second Aunt Are Here
"Stone mill?" Wang Fu glanced at Gu Yuehuai, and thinking of the strong laborers in her family who had come out to work recently, his expression eased slightly, and he said, "I really didn't notice this. I'll ask you when everyone comes to record the work points later."
Gu Yuehuai paused, shook his head and said, "No, I'm just asking casually, Secretary, don't bother me."
If they really have to collect it door to door, she might as well buy it directly from the supply and marketing cooperative.
At this time, Wang Peisheng on the side hesitated and said: "I remember that Hammer's family has an unused millstone."
Wang Fu was stunned and asked, "Hammer? Wang Hammer?"
Gu Yuehuai frowned slightly. To be honest, this Wang Chuizi was an unlucky guy. He was the man who had an affair with the pretty widow Li Chaoying who died early. He died of a sudden illness only one year after marrying Li Chaoying.
Therefore, the stone mill in Wang Chuizi's family actually belongs to Li Chaoying's family.
The meeting between her and Li Chaoying two days ago was not friendly. She might not sell the millstone to her. Even if she did, she would probably ask for a very high price.
Thinking of this, Gu Yuehuai suddenly said, "Secretary, Widow Li and I have some unpleasantness. Can you help me get the millstone back? I will give you some money."
Wang Fu's mouth twitched. He didn't want to agree, but he thought that Gu Yuehuai was good at mural painting and worked hard. He never slacked off at work and didn't think of slacking off for only 25 work points a day. He was a good member.
As the branch secretary, he had never given her a good look before. Now that she had made a request, it would be awkward to refuse.
Before Wang Fu could say anything, Wang Peisheng said, "Okay, I'll do it for you tonight."
Gu Yuehuai was delighted, thanked him with a smile, picked up Yan Shaotang and went home.
As soon as she left, Wang Fu glared at Wang Peisheng unhappily: "You have a good temper and agree to whatever she says. If Widow Li knew about this, what would become of us?"
Wang Peisheng sighed and said with a wry smile, "Little Gu suffered a lot of injustice in the past two days. As his uncle, I feel embarrassed. What can I do? Getting a stone mill is not a big deal."
Wang Fu shook his head and said nothing more.

On the other side, Gu Yuehuai went home and waited for the millstone.
It's time to get off work, and Gu Zhifeng and the others should be back by now.
However, the workers had not returned yet, and the sound of bicycle brakes was heard outside the yard. Gu Yuehuai frowned slightly, asked Yan Shaotang to sit on the kang, walked to the door, lifted the curtain and took a look.
As soon as she saw the visitor, Gu Yuehuai pursed her red lips.
I've been so confused by Gu Ruihuai these past two days that I've forgotten about serious matters.
The people who came over on bicycles were a man and a woman, both of whom were not young. The woman got off the back seat and looked Gu Yuehuai up and down through the curtain. She seemed not to recognize him. After a while, she said, "You are... Nannan?"
Gu Yuehuai nodded: "Second aunt, it's me."
After saying that, she turned to look at the middle-aged man who had parked his bicycle and called out, "Uncle."
That’s right, the people who came were Gu Yuehuai’s uncle Gu Tianfeng, and second aunt Gu Yinfeng.
The two of them were not like the eldest aunt, who even changed her name and surname because she despised her background. In fact, they were much more conscientious than Nie Peilan. At least they did not break off relations with their family and still had occasional contact with them.
Gu Yinfeng's eyes were strange, and she said in a weird tone: "The little girl has changed a lot."
She still remembered that the last time she saw Gu Yuehuai, he was still chubby and stronger than her son. She didn't expect that after not seeing him for a few months, he had become so handsome. Look at him, he is even more beautiful than her mother.
However, it would look better if she could be thinner.
Gu Yuehuai smiled and said, "Uncle and aunt, please come in. I'll pour you some water."
Gu Yinfeng was even more surprised. In her memory, Gu Yuehuai was not only ugly, but also had an unpleasant personality. He was aloof and selfish. He was unwilling to say a few nice words when they came over. But he had changed his personality this time? He even wanted to pour water for them?
Not to mention Gu Yinfeng, even Gu Tianfeng, a man of few words, looked at Gu Yuehuai a second time.
The two did not refuse. They came here to discuss something, and it would not be good to just wait in the yard, so they went into the house.
As soon as they entered, they couldn't help talking about Yan Shaotang. Gu Yuehuai didn't want to say much and sent him away after a few words.
She poured two glasses of water for Gu Tianfeng and Gu Yinfeng, looked at the two relatives who seemed to be living in distant memories, and couldn't find any topics to talk about, so she sat aside in silence.
Since the brothers and sisters of Gu Zhifeng's generation are not biological children, they don't look much alike.
As for personality, they are completely different.
The eldest brother, Gu Tianfeng, is taciturn and listens to his wife in all daily matters, big or small.
The second child, Gu Jinfeng, is the most pretty and the most intelligent. It is said that she was always praised by her teachers when she was in the girls' school, otherwise she would not have married the deputy secretary of the county revolutionary committee.
He is a real high-ranking official, even more powerful than Qin Wanjiang!
The third brother, Gu Yinfeng, is smooth-talking. He says one thing to one person and another thing to another person. He likes to let others take the lead in everything he says and does. I can't say he is annoying, he just has a petty-bourgeois mentality.
The fourth child, Gu Zhifeng, who is also her father, was spoiled since childhood, which is why he gambled away the family property when he was young. Although he studied abroad, he did not learn anything useful, so after he fell into poverty, he could only make a living by hanging around in the black market.
The brothers and sisters each have their own lives, but Gu Zhifeng still has deep feelings for them.
After waiting for a while, Gu Yinfeng got off the kang, paced the floor anxiously, frowned, and asked, "Where is your father? Why hasn't he come back yet?"
Gu Yuehuai glanced at her and said, "Dad and brother have gone to work, they should be back soon."
Hearing this, Gu Yinfeng couldn't help but widen her eyes: "What? Going to work? Your dad? And your brother?"
Before Gu Yuehuai could explain, there was a noise outside. Gu Zhifeng was the first to open the curtain and walk in: "Nannan, is your uncle here?"
Before she could speak, Gu Yinfeng said cheerfully, "Zhifeng! Second sister is here too."
Gu Zhifeng looked at Gu Tianfeng and Gu Yinfeng, the sadness on her face disappeared and she smiled: "Brother and sister came over, haven't you eaten yet? Nannan, call your brother back and ask him to make something to eat."
Gu Yinfeng waved her hand and refused, "No, no, no, don't bother me. My brother and I came here today to discuss important matters. We have to go back after we finish, so we won't eat."
It’s not like she hasn’t eaten here before, just porridge, sweet potatoes and pickles, what’s so good about that?
After saying that, she walked to the kang and winked at Gu Tianfeng, asking him to get down to business.
Gu Tianfeng crossed his hands and sat on the edge of the kang in silence, perfectly portraying the image of a taciturn old brother.
"Business? What business?" Gu Zhifeng was stunned and didn't react.
Gu Tianfeng knew that it was not a good idea to delay, so she asked, "Zhifeng, are you well off recently? Your second sister and I need money recently, but there are so many mouths to feed at home, and we can't save any money. What do you think?"
