In fact, Gu Meifeng had written to her many times asking her not to send money anymore. Even if they were siblings and had their own families after getting married, why was she asking her brother to support her? If her sister-in-law knew about this, there would be a fight.
So her expression was somewhat guilty, fearing that her sister-in-law didn't know about this, or that her brother was forcing himself to do it.
Luan Huiying is not someone who reads other people's expressions at all. She always speaks directly without beating around the bush.
"Little sister, why don't you bring your brother-in-law with you this time? Don't worry, your brother will pay for all your expenses.
You said you are in your fifties and have never even left your hometown in your life. Will you still have that opportunity in another ten or twenty years?
Don't live your life just for your children. You only have one life to live, and you can't let it go to waste."
Gu Zhenhai's smile froze on his face. He really wanted to stand up and cover this stupid woman's mouth.
Why are you spilling everything?
If everyone could be like her, they would never have to worry about money, and their sons and daughters-in-law would be rich and filial.
It seems like I have never experienced the sufferings of the world, and all the hard days in the past were wasted.
Maybe she really grew up in a well-off family. Although she experienced the difficult period of the Anti-Japanese War, Luan Huiying had never suffered any hardship in life except for going to the battlefield.
Especially after liberation, the couple's life could be said to be among the best in the country.
Many of her thoughts and ideas have not changed. She lives more for herself and believes that children and family are not everything.
Gu Zhenhai chuckled twice and explained dryly: "That's not what she meant. She meant that you should have fun when you come here, and don't think about the land at home all day. It won't be a wasted trip if you have a good time."
Luan Huiying really wanted to say that was what she meant, but after being glared at by Gu Zhenhai, she became discouraged.
She snorted and ignored him.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, little sister, I have prepared the latest sandals for you all. Let's go try them on. They are very comfortable to wear in the summer and they won't stuff your feet at all.
I bought this while queuing up at the department store. Try it on and see if it fits. If not, I'll have to exchange it right away."
Wang Daya didn't expect that hers would be there. Her eyes lit up and she followed him to the room to see the new shoes.
Gu Meifeng was a little shy and not very relaxed in front of her third sister-in-law, whom she seldom met.
It’s not that he has lived for forty or fifty years and is still so inexperienced that he can’t even get along with others.
It’s just that people get along with each other from different walks of life. Luan Huiying comes into contact with all kinds of people in her daily life, and she can get along with them very normally.
But Gu Meifeng was different. She only interacted with rural women and had no taboos in getting along with them.
When two different kinds of energy meet, it is inevitable that their auras will be incompatible, and they can't maintain it for long even if they try hard.
When Luan Huiying talked about everything in the city, Gu Meifeng didn't understand. When Gu Meifeng talked about gossip in the countryside, Luan Huiying probably couldn't keep up.
But fortunately, Li Cuiying was there to mediate, so the atmosphere was not too awkward.
Luan Huiying prepared clothes and shoes for everyone, and the children were definitely well-equipped.
Although she didn't know the exact size, she found out from Li Cuiying with just one phone call.
Buy something slightly larger, even if it doesn’t fit, you can still modify it. If it’s too small, it will be a bit troublesome.
The atmosphere in the family was both harmonious and weird. All in all, they got along pretty well, and at least they didn't let anything go unspoken.
Gu Zhenhai was a little helpless chatting with his two brothers outside. Why were they so reserved when they were obviously brothers? There was no tearful look at all like brothers meeting each other.
But he was just overthinking it. When they went to the courtyard outside, everyone seemed to have suddenly untied the ropes that bound them and let go from the inside out.
I feel like when I was a child, my brothers called me Xiaohai and my sister called me Third Brother.
It seemed like nothing had changed, yet it seemed like everything had changed. They had all grown old, and half of their lives had passed in a hurry, but they had very little time to spend together as a family.
Many people at Gu Zhenhai were busy, so he barely spared two days to have dinner and chat with them, and then he got back to his busy work.
Only Luan Huiying was left to accompany them to wander around, and they spent the whole day either going out to play or eating delicious food.
After all, it is the capital. If the supply is cut off anywhere else, the supply here will not be cut off. Even if the supplies are scarce, you will never lack food or drink when traveling in the capital.
Peking duck, hot pot mutton, hot pot, noodles with soybean paste...
The food is different every day, and Luan Huiying spends money without blinking an eye.
The couple's level is here, so of course they don't spend money lavishly in their daily lives.
But it’s a rare occasion when relatives come to visit, so I can’t be stingy and not buy anything.
Even if other people knew about this, at most they would say that the couple was extravagant, but they would also understand their behavior and would not make a big fuss about it.
However, these days only lasted for about ten days. Gu Zhenxing, Wang Daya and Gu Meifeng could not stay out for too long. The letter of introduction they received when they came was only for one month.
Including the time for the return trip, it’s almost time.
Luan Huiying originally wanted to buy a few more roast ducks for them to take back, but now the weather was hot and they couldn't be kept for long, so she had to give up.
However, if you can't take the roast duck away, there are other specialties, especially those that can be kept for a long time. You can't go back empty-handed after coming here with great difficulty. This is not the way his family treats guests.
However, Gu Zhenjiang, Li Cuiying and the children will not leave so early.
Gu Zhenhai actually wanted them to stay. With his ability, it was not difficult to transfer their household registration.
Gu Qingbei and Jiang Mengxue are still young and definitely cannot settle down for the time being.
But children cannot follow them around, especially as they grow older, they have to settle down in a city and go to school steadily.
Before this, they had no formal mathematics training in their hometown and just bought some textbooks to study at home.
In addition, I learn some art-related things from an art teacher.
If they are interested in this area, they will definitely find better teachers and better schools in Beijing. The educational resources are also far superior to other places.
Jiang Mengxue had also considered this point. Even if their household registration was transferred to Beijing, it would not have any impact on them.
As for the educated youth going to the countryside, there is no need to worry about this at all.
The oldest among them, Mobao and Ruirui, were just eighteen or nineteen years old when the college entrance examination was resumed. They started school two years later so that they could avoid going to the countryside.
Besides, if all else fails, they can return to their hometowns, so they won’t suffer.
There is even less need to worry about the following children, as their age is just right when the college entrance examination is resumed and they no longer need to go to the countryside.
By the time they enter the 1980s, it won't matter if they don't go to college.
Jiang Mengxue also didn't want them to follow adults around at such a young age. It would be better for them to settle down and have a stable life early.
If they want to visit the beautiful mountains and rivers of our motherland in the future, they will have plenty of time when they grow up.
After all, these are special times. Unless there are special reasons, it is better to stay out of the city.
