Chapter 81 That's a Smiling Tiger
Gu Tinghuai and Gu Xihuai looked at each other, with complex expressions in both of their eyes.
The sister who used to be stupid but innocent has really changed.
Of course, this cannot be said.
Gu Zhifeng was not in the mood, so she waved her hand and said, "Okay, just pack up and go, I'll ask the third brother to ask for leave for you later."
Gu Tinghuai nodded, and just as he was about to go out with Gu Yuehuai, he suddenly heard Gu Zhifeng say, "Nannan, go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy some things to bring back. You and your mother haven't seen each other for more than ten years, so we can't be too shabby."
Gu Yuehuai pursed his lips and nodded, "I know, Dad, don't worry about it."
The brother and sister left the house. Gu Zhifeng sat on the kang like a clay sculpture. Gu Xihuai glanced at him and felt a little annoyed by his half-hearted look. He couldn't help but said, "Okay, Dad, that woman can't see your grimace. What's the point?"
After saying that, he curled his lips and said, "I think my second brother inherited your character completely, exactly the same!"
"You little brat! What are you talking about?" Gu Zhifeng was so angry that she raised her hand and waved it towards Gu Xihuai's head. The latter laughed and shouted, "That's right, Dad, you are not suitable to be a sad and resentful husband."
Gu Zhifeng looked at Gu Xihuai running away, and her tense face collapsed. After a while, she couldn't help laughing and said, "This brat."

On the other side, Gu Tinghuai and Gu Yuehuai had already gone to Huangying Commune.
"Nannan, what do you think?" Gu Tinghuai turned his head to look at Gu Yuehuai, who had a calm face and the leisurely mood to look at the mountains, water and scenery, and his tone was a little complicated.
He, who had lived with "her" for several years, felt a little emotional, and the closer he got to Qing'an County, the more nervous he became. However, she, who had never seen her biological mother, was unusually calm, as if she was about to face a stranger.
Such a calm attitude really made him admire her.
Gu Yuehuai raised his eyebrows slightly: "What do you think? Are you talking about Lin Jinshu?"
When Gu Tinghuai heard Gu Yuehuai calling this name directly, his eyelids twitched and he didn't know how to respond.
Gu Yuehuai said calmly with a slight smile: "What can I think? To me, Lin Jinshu is no different from a stranger. But brother, don't cry when you see her later, otherwise you will be laughed at."
Gu Tinghuai was stunned, smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Crying? He wouldn't do that, would he?
The two of them walked all the way to the supply and marketing cooperative of Huangying Commune. As soon as they entered, Gu Yuehuai saw Yao Meili sitting behind the counter. She still looked dazed, and it was unknown what she was thinking about. She also seemed a little annoyed.
Gu Yuehuai had no interest in giving gifts, so he turned to Gu Tinghuai and asked, "Brother, what are you buying?"
Gu Tinghuai frowned and looked hesitantly at the dazzling array of goods on the counter. He had never given a gift before, so how would he know what to buy for his mother whom he hadn't seen for more than ten years?
Hearing the familiar voice, Yao Meili raised her head instantly. When she saw Gu Yuehuai, she seemed to come alive: "Yuehuai! You are finally here. I have been looking forward to your coming!"
There was a faint blush on Yao Meili's face. When she became excited, the tranquility and gentleness on her face became lively.
Gu Yuehuai smiled faintly: "Is your head okay?"
Yao Meili raised her hand and touched her bandaged head, then shook her head and said, "It's okay now."
After saying that, he thought of Wang Qing again, and moved closer to Gu Yuehuai, lowering his voice and saying, "That Wang Qing was fired from the supply and marketing cooperative for intentional injury. She also found someone, but I went to find Qin Mu and didn't let her come back."
Gu Yuehuai was a little surprised and raised his eyebrows to look at Yao Meili.
She had always thought that Yao Meili was a somewhat pedantic and conservative woman, but she didn't expect that she would actually meet her ex-boyfriend for Wang Qing. This series of actions really opened her eyes.
Yao Meili smiled and said, "By the way, why are you here today?"
"Nannan, do you know this comrade?" Gu Tinghuai was a little surprised. A salesperson in a supply and marketing cooperative is a job that everyone envies. It's a golden rice bowl. Who wouldn't look up to him if he told others about it? How did Nannan know him?
Yao Meili was stunned and looked at Gu Tinghuai. After a little guess, she knew his identity. After all, Gu Yuehuai was still young and should not have a boyfriend yet. This man looked down-to-earth and was very close to Gu Yuehuai. He should be her brother.
However, you can't tell much of Lin Jinshu from his face. He probably looks more like his father.
Yao Meili extended her hand to Gu Tinghuai openly: "Hello comrade, I am Yue Huai's friend."
"Hello." Gu Tinghuai stretched out his hand dryly and shook hands with her, his ears a little red. He had never shaken hands with a girl in his life.
Yao Meili smiled and thought that the men in this rural team were pretty good.
Gu Yuehuai glanced at the two of them and said bluntly: "I want to buy something to see Lin Jinshu."
Yao Meili was a little shocked. After all, she still remembered her attitude yesterday. However, she became excited in an instant and said happily, "You finally figured it out! You don't know what to buy, right? I tell you, Aunt Lin likes to eat this rice noodle the most. You can bring her some."
Gu Tinghuai was a little stunned: "You also know me...my mother?"
Yao Meili nodded seriously: "I know her, and she is quite familiar with me. Aunt Lin is really a very nice person. It is great that you can reconcile with her. She will be able to live a better life in the future."
Gu Yuehuai was in no mood to talk about Lin Jinshu here. He pointed to the gift box of pastries on the counter and said, "Don't bother. Just take this gift box of pastries. I also want the cloth from last time."
Yao Meili glanced at her, said nothing, and nodded in agreement.
This time, I ended up spending more than five dollars.
The pastries were not cheap to begin with, and a gift box cost three yuan. Add in the fabric and needles and thread, and it cost a lot of money. When Gu Tinghuai came out of the supply and marketing cooperative, his face looked a little distressed. This amount of money was enough for him to work for more than half a month.
After thinking for a while, Gu Tinghuai still asked hesitantly: "Nannan, is the money from selling the jewelry you brought to the Zhoulan City consignment shop enough to pay off your debts?"
Gu Yuehuai smiled: "Brother, are you afraid that I will spend all my money lavishly? Don't worry, you don't have to worry about the debt."
Gu Tinghuai smiled bitterly: "I'm not afraid that you will spend all your money, I'm afraid that you have never experienced the difficulty of making money. You should always buy things within your means. The cake box is a bit expensive and is not suitable for our family."
Gu Yuehuai nodded and admitted his mistake sincerely: "I understand, brother. I will definitely not spend money like this in the future."
She just didn't want to put too much energy into choosing a gift. She didn't know what the situation would be like when she went to the clinic. After all, as far as she knew, Qin Wanjiang was not an easy person to get along with. He was a complete smiling tiger.
He was indeed infatuated with Lin Jinshu, but this infatuation was accompanied by an overbearing possessiveness.
In Qin Wanjiang's eyes, the children born to Lin Jinshu and other men were "dregs" that he didn't want to look at for a second time. Could he really put aside his disgust and run to the clinic to see Gu Ruihuai? Who knew what he was planning?
