When the old man passed away, they notified Gu Zhenhai who was in the army, but he might have been on a mission at the time, so they could not contact him.
When we contacted them later, they didn't even dare to mention the reason for the old man's death.
If Gu Zhenhai knew that this matter was caused by Gu Meilin, he would not care about the relationship between brother and sister. Gu Zhenhai has always been a person who would take action but never talk since he was a child.
Someone like Gu Meilin could be slapped away by Gu Zhenhai with just one slap.
"I heard a lot of things happened at the train station last night. Did you encounter any of that? The logistics director of our department store lives near my house. He just got back from the train yesterday. I heard the entire train station was surrounded by armed militias. Everyone had to have their ID and luggage checked before leaving. I don't know what happened."
What happened last night spread throughout their neighborhood before this morning.
But because the logistics director was timid, he ran home immediately after being released and didn't dare to ask what happened.
"Yesterday, because of this, our train was waiting outside all afternoon. It was supposed to arrive at one or two in the afternoon, but it didn't arrive until after nine at night."
Maybe because they hadn't seen each other for many years, the two had endless topics to talk about.
Luan Huiying is very interested in both family affairs and gossip outside.
She is from the south and is very curious about the winter in the north, but it is really cold. She has only come back twice with Gu Zhenhai before and doesn't know much about this place. Fortunately, the dialect here is similar to Mandarin, otherwise communication would be difficult.
However, if Luan Huiying spoke her native dialect, Li Cuiying and the others would not understand at all.
The dialects in each county of Jiangsu Province are different and difficult to understand.
Jiang Mengxue is also from Jiangsu Province, but the language gap between the south and the north is so big that it is a bit difficult to understand.
Li Cuiying and the other person stayed here until the afternoon and then went back. Jiang Mengran took the same bus back to the unit with them.
"Sister-in-law, we'll pick you up the day after tomorrow and take you back to the Feiyue Brigade. Xiaoxue doesn't have to go back with us if she's busy."
After seeing a few people off and returning home, the two planned to find something to do.
"How about we go to the department store? I haven't been to the city yet."
Jiang Mengxue thought about it and decided to take Luan Huiying around the city in the next few days, to parks and squares, watch movies, and go skiing.
There are already children outside who have piled up snow to make a slide and are sliding down from a high place using wooden boards. This way of playing is extremely attractive to people in the south.
Luan Huiying was also very interested because she had seen people skiing on the snow track before.
Even though she is not young anymore, she is not old at heart. She is just embarrassed to play like a child, so she can only watch with envy.
The department store has three floors in total. The downstairs mainly sells daily necessities, food and drinks. There is a separate area that sells vegetables, meat, and occasionally fish and shrimp.
There is a purchasing station next to it. The rural members can send some wild delicacies and pigs and sheep they raise to the purchasing station, which can be regarded as an income for the family.
The second floor sells clothes, quilts, books, and some items that require industrial coupons to buy.
The third floor is filled with large furniture, bicycles, watches and radios.
Most of the people on the third floor come to look, and there are not many people who will actually buy. Most of them come here to enjoy the sight, and if they like something, the whole family has to save up money to buy it.
Jiang Mengxue took Luan Huiying down from the third floor, and the two of them just joined in the fun.
"Matsuxue? Weren't you at the fabric counter on the second floor?"
The cotton that Jiang Mengxue brought home was a defective product she bought from Feng Songxue. It was Jiang Mengxue who saved Feng Songxue's sister-in-law's life when she gave birth, and the two met at that time.
"Doctor Jiang, come over and do some shopping. My colleague has something to do today and asked me to come over and take charge of a class. If you want to see something, I'll recommend it to you. It's definitely the lowest price."
"My mother-in-law and I just came here to take a look. You go about your business." A young couple nearby was discussing which watch to sell.
Feng Songxue smiled embarrassedly: "Then Doctor Jiang, Auntie, you guys take care of it first. Call me if you need anything."
Jiang Mengxue actually doesn't know much about watches. If it weren't inconvenient to check the time now, she would think wearing a watch is troublesome, especially in winter, when it sometimes feels cold. Jiang Mengxue sometimes puts it in her pocket and only takes it out when she needs to check the time.
"Xiaoxue, come and see which one you like. Mom will give it to you. Before I came here, I brought your father and I's allowance for this month. I can afford any of them here."
Jiang Mengxue raised her eyebrows. She felt like she had met a local tycoon.
"Mom, Tsinghua and Peking University have already bought it for me. Besides, I don't use it very often, so I'll just keep it at home if I buy it."
Luan Huiying didn't care at all: "How can they be the same? I bought it for you with my own salary. This is a gift from me. I wonder if you will feel guilty when Tsinghua and Peking University see it next time. You keep thinking about how to confiscate my pocket money.
Come and take a look. I think the one with diamonds is nice. This one with a leather belt is also nice. Xiaoxue, take a look and see if you like it."
Jiang Mengxue really doesn't care about this and doesn't like to wear any accessories.
"Mom, why don't you take a look at which one you like and I'll give it to you. My salary is not low."
The two of them huddled together with their heads lowered, being polite to each other.
No consideration for other people's feelings at all.
The young couple next to them started quarreling before they even started watching.
"That's not what you mean. Your family promised to buy me a watch when we get married. You're not going to go back on your word at the last minute, are you? My family said we won't get married without a watch.
