Chapter 126 Fate
People like them who are old always fear the cold in winter. Old Jia had prescribed some Chinese medicine for everyone in his family, and it worked really well after they took it.
When Wu Xiu heard this, she smiled and said, "Dad and Mom, if there are uncles and aunts in the village who are feeling unwell, you can ask them to go see Lao Jia."
She didn't dare to publicize it before because she was afraid that the country people would be reluctant to spend the expensive Chinese medicine and the effect would not be satisfactory.
But now the Chinese medicine that his family takes is affordable for everyone, so Mr. Wu dared to let the old man spread it out.
The countryside is not lively enough, nor as prosperous as the town. There is a lack of medical care and medicine, and it takes a lot of time to go to town.
Many people in the village go to the town only a few times a year.
But for Lao Jia and others, it is actually safer.
The villagers are more accustomed to traditional Chinese medicine. If Lao Jia can really cure stubborn diseases, the villagers will protect them more in the future.
Because in everyone's mind, they think that doctors should not be offended. They can cure diseases and save lives, but they can also harm people.
What’s even more frightening is that I don’t know when I’ll have to ask for help from others.
Grandpa Song and Grandma Song both agreed immediately.
In a blink of an eye, it was the afternoon of the seventh day of February.
After finishing work, Gu Ci put the hoe in the warehouse and went to the brigade office next door. He heard that Secretary Su and Captain Su were also worried about the land not being fertile enough.
Gu Ci also called out politely, "Branch Secretary."
Then he said to Captain Su: "Captain, I will not go to work from tomorrow."
"Regarding the transfer of my household registration, can the branch secretary and the team leader sign for me?"
Captain Su also knew two days ago that Gu Ci was going to Lingxia Village to become a son-in-law.
It was Gu Ci himself who said that they needed to sign because of the change of household registration.
At that time, Captain Su suspected that he had heard it wrong. He would never have thought that Gu Zhiqing would be willing to be a son-in-law.
You know, in the countryside, a son-in-law is also a head shorter than the woman's family.
Even the men in their countryside are unwilling to be a son-in-law. Not only is it a loss of face, but they also feel that it means living under someone else's roof.
Captain Su was shocked and asked, "Do you know what a live-in son-in-law is? The child has to take the woman's surname, and you have to take care of your father-in-law and mother-in-law until they die. If they get divorced, you have to leave the house with nothing."
Gu Ci was stubborn and said, "Men and women are equal, and marriage is free. I know about live-in sons-in-law, but I am willing to live with the Song family."
However, Captain Su did not agree to sign immediately, fearing that doing so would offend Secretary Su. So he asked him to come back in two days, under the pretext of needing to discuss the matter with Secretary Su.
Captain Su wanted to not offend anyone.
Secretary Song of Lingxia Village is also a difficult person, but Secretary Su’s mind is definitely not enough to support the boat.
Therefore, Captain Su wanted to delay it and see what Secretary Su would say to him.
But unexpectedly, Secretary Su has never mentioned this matter until now.
Now that he was caught red-handed by Gu Ci, Captain Su had no reason to delay any longer, so he asked Secretary Su: "Tomorrow is a good day for Zhiqing Gu to get married. He will move his household registration to Lingxia Village. Do you think this is appropriate?"
"What?" Secretary Su was surprised: "He wants to move his household registration?"
This time Captain Su really made a mistake.
He thought that the news of Gu Ci becoming a son-in-law would soon reach Secretary Su's ears.
But no one in the village is a fool. They all know that Secretary Su suffered a loss at the hands of Gu Ci, so naturally they don't want to talk about this in front of him.
Gu Ci would rather be a son-in-law than marry Su Jinxiang. Doesn't that make Su Jinxiang seem inferior to the divorced Chu Hong?
Isn't that like stabbing Secretary Su in the heart?
In addition, Li Xun also frequently came to discuss his marriage with Su Jinxiang, so Secretary Su really didn't pay much attention to anything else.
The main reason was that he thought that even if Gu Ci was dating Chu Hong, they would not get married so quickly.
Who would have thought that I would hear today that Gu Ci is getting married tomorrow?
Captain Su thought to himself that something was wrong, but he still had a smile on his face: "Yeah, didn't your Hongqi tell you?"
Su Hongqi's target was a female educated youth, and the fact that Gu Ci wanted a live-in son-in-law was no secret among the educated youth's center.
Secretary Su was indeed very annoyed, so he naturally did not want to agree so readily: "In the past, only female educated youth moved their household registration out, and we have never encountered male educated youth moving their household registration out. We have to go to the commune to ask about this matter first."
It's obvious that he looks like a female educated youth.
Gu Ci knew that he did this on purpose, just to make him unhappy.
But when he thought about becoming a member of the Song family, he felt very happy: "Then I'd like to trouble the secretary to take some time to ask for me."
After that, he took out eight fruit candies from his pocket and placed them on the table, smiling and saying, "This is our wedding candy. Please have a taste, team leader and party secretary. Thank you for taking care of me over the past few months."
Captain Su thought of the fact that Gu Ci was previously assigned to pick up the rice field, and suspected that he was speaking in a sarcastic way.
I could only laugh it off: "You are also a diligent and good comrade."
He added dryly, "I wish you common progress as well."
Secretary Su looked at Gu Ci sinisterly. After hearing what Captain Su said, he came to his senses and said with a fake smile, "I remember that you are somewhat similar to Chu Hong's ex-husband Zhong Zhiqing. You are both from Shencheng. You can't be like Zhong Zhiqing and abandon Chu Hong when you have the chance to return to the city, right?"
After saying that, he sighed again: "In the beginning, Zhong Zhiqing listened to Chu Hong's words very much. He was afraid to go west. No wonder Chu Hong traveled thousands of miles to find Zhong Zhiqing after he returned to the city in order to win him back."
"It's a pity that Chu Hong arrived too late. Zhong Zhiqing had already married the leader's daughter."
After he finished speaking, he did not forget to remind Gu Ci: "When you go to the Song family in the future, you must treat Chu Hong well. Don't get tired of the old and love the new, otherwise Chu Hong will be too pitiful."
Gu Ci couldn't help wanting to push him to the ground and rub him.
He was clearly reminding himself that Chu Hong and her ex-husband were in love, and he could also disgust himself at the same time.
Gu Ci felt that Secretary Su was like a gossipy woman who kept saying things to sow discord.
Fortunately, I understand that Chu Hong really doesn't care about the guy named Zhong anymore, otherwise I would definitely feel uncomfortable and have resentment.
"This shows that Chu Hong and I are destined to be together." Gu Ci also retorted: "It's fortunate that Zhong Zhiqing became Chen Shimei, otherwise I would have missed such a good comrade like Chu Hong."
Captain Su standing by wished he could disappear right on the spot.
This excitement is not so nice to watch. These two people are not easy to deal with. He is worried that Secretary Su will be angered and something bad will happen to him.
"Gu Zhiqing, you can go back first." Captain Su saw that Secretary Su's face was flushed, so he sent him away first: "I will pay attention to the matter of relocating the household registration."
Gu Ci thanked him politely and immediately turned around and left.
Secretary Su took a deep breath and said, "I think this guy is willing to be the son-in-law of the Song family just to be able to return to the city."
Captain Su could only echo: "Now that the first person from the Song family has left, Secretary Song will definitely be more wary of Gu Zhiqing. It's not easy for him to be a live-in son-in-law."
