Chapter 34 Three thousand in retirement pay!
After breakfast, Su's father and mother went out to buy vegetables, some meat, pork ribs, and other things, and came back.
After Su's father and mother left, Gu Jianhua touched Su He's belly and asked softly, "How many days will it take for them to come out?"
Su He thought for a moment and said, "About half a month."
Gu Jianhua was not satisfied with just touching her, so he put his ear on Su He's belly, then looked up and said in surprise, "Wife, the baby kicked me."
Su He smiled and asked, "Who kicked you?"
Gu Jianhua pointed to the right side of his stomach and said, "Here."
Su He, "It has always been naughty."
I don't know whether she is a brother or a sister.
Gu Jianhua, "It's amazing."
Then he remembered something, stood up, opened his backpack, took out two envelopes and gave them to Su He, "My wife, these are my retirement pay."
Su He felt the thickness of the envelope and was surprised, "So much"
Gu Jianhua held her hand and said, "I, your man, have made contributions. Not just one. If I hadn't been injured, I would have been promoted, at least to deputy battalion commander."
"What a pity." Su He said.
Gu Jianhua shook his head, "It's not a pity, I want to be with you."
Su He went over and kissed him. A minute later, Gu Jianhua smiled and said, "Quickly count, there should be more than 3,000."
Su He counted them and found there were three thousand two hundred.
“A lot of money.”
Gu Jianhua said lovingly, "All for you."
Su He, "Please bring some to mom and dad."
Gu Jianhua drew 20 tickets of "Unity", which cost 200 yuan, and Su He drew 30 tickets, "Take 500 yuan."
Gu Jianhua, "Listen to your wife."
"Jianhua, go see your parents and tell them."
Gu Jianhua nodded, "Okay, I'll be back before lunch."
Su He, "Ride my dad's bike."
Because of the cold weather, Su He did not ask Gu's father to deliver milk every day. He only delivered it once every two days so that there would be no need to worry about the milk going bad if left alone on this day.
"Okay, wife, go in and have a rest."
Su He nodded, and Gu Jianhua kissed her forehead.
"I was back before lunch."
"Go ahead, go ahead."
Gu's father and mother didn't know their son had returned yet. Mother Gu was collecting chickens from house to house, plucking them, cleaning them, and freezing them in a large vat. When Xiao He gave birth, she would stew the chickens for her.
One chicken a day.
The old couple were plucking chicken feathers in the kitchen when they heard the door creak. Mother Gu turned around and saw that it was Gu Jianhua who stood up and
With eyes wide open, "Son, why are you back?"
Father Gu was also surprised, "Did you get leave?"
Gu Jianhua told his mother the whole story, and she was heartbroken. "It's better for him to step down."
Father Gu said, "Take good care of your injuries during this period."
"Have you eaten?" asked Gu's mother.
Gu Jianhua said he had eaten noodles.
Then he took out the fifty big reunion notes from his pocket and gave them to Gu's mother. Gu's mother asked, "What?"
"Vacation pay."
Gu's mother refused. "Give it to Xiao He. Why give it to me?"
Gu Jianhua, "Here it is, this is your share."
Father Gu said, "I'll give you the child, just take it."
Mother Gu said, "I won't spend it. I'll save it for you."
Gu Jianhua rode his bicycle all the way here. Many people in the village saw him and after chatting with him, they learned that Gu Jianhua had retired from the army.
The second branch of the Gu family also heard about it.
So, Uncle Gu, Aunt Gu, the two brothers Gu Tiezhu and Gu Yinzhu, and Wu Sanfeng, who had a lot of things to do, all came to the first house.
Needless to say, what kind of mentality these people have.
After all, the version they heard was that Gu Jianhua was injured and returned from the army, not that he came with a huge sum of 3,000 yuan in retirement pay and was transferred to the Public Security Bureau.
A few people first expressed regret and comfort.
Uncle Gu patted Gu Jianhua on the shoulder and said, "Being a soldier is dangerous. You have to go to the battlefield. You should stay at home and farm with your wife and children."
Auntie Zhang Xiuying said, "Yes, land is the foundation of our home."
She was so happy that the magpie had been chirping since early morning. She thought there was some happy event recently, but it turned out to be this happy event.
Gu Jianhua has been discharged from the army. The only son of the eldest wife, the son who had served in the army with great success, has been discharged from the army. Let's see how proud that woman Zhao Jinzhi is. Just as she was thinking this, she raised her eyes and glanced at her sister-in-law. Unexpectedly, the other party looked normal.
Just pretend, Zhang Xiuying concluded that Zhao Jinzhi was pretending, and she must have cried to death behind her back.
The brothers Gu Yinzhu and Gu Tiezhu said similar things.
Wu Sanfeng said, "That's right. Xiaohe is pregnant now. It would be good for you to take care of her."
"Jianhua, do you know that Xiaohe is pregnant with twins? It's rare, right? I see her belly is round, it should be a girl."
As the child of the eldest wife, how could Gu Jianhua not know what the second wife of the Gu family was thinking.
He responded to Wu Sanfeng first, "Sister-in-law, I like whatever my wife gives birth to."
Zhang Xiuying said to Wu Sanfeng, "What are you saying? Do you think your daughter-in-law is not good? The daughter-in-law is so considerate. Little Lizi is only two years old and knows how to pour water for me as a grandmother. It's a pity that I am not lucky. I gave birth to only sons, unlike my sister-in-law, who has three daughters."
Hearing this, Gu's mother couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "Sister-in-law, if you are really jealous, it's not too late to have a baby now."
"There is a family in my mother's family where old clams give birth to pearls."
Zhang Xiuying, "Sister-in-law, what are you saying? My grandson is already that old, and he still can't give birth to anything."
Gu's mother was unwilling to pay attention to her and asked Gu Jianhua, "Jianhua, did the leader tell you when to report to the Public Security Bureau?"
Yes, that's right, she said that on purpose.
Her son had said before that they would go after the New Year.
But the people in the second wife's house thought that her son had retired from the army and lost his job. Although his salary was not as high as before after retirement, he still had a job.
It’s still the Public Security Bureau.
The people's police are no worse than being a soldier!
Uncle Gu asked, "Why report to the police station?"
Father Gu replied, "Jianhua was not injured, but his superiors transferred him to the Public Security Bureau."
Uncle Gu suddenly realized, "Changed career... That's good, very good."
Zhang Xiuying and Wu Sanfeng were so angry that they gnashed their teeth!
He actually changed his job!
Zhang Xiuying said dryly, "From now on, you and Xiaohe can go to work together. It's convenient."
Gu Jianhua smiled and said yes.
The people from the second branch did not stay for long. They came purely for the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. Because Gu Jianhua had joined the army and his father and mother were so arrogant, the villagers' attitude towards them had changed.
After all, being a soldier is an honor.
Now that I'm retired, I thought I'd be farming in the countryside like them, but I didn't expect that I'd go to work in the county and become a police officer.
How do you step on it? Is there any difference?
The first wife and her two children work in the city and receive salaries from the government.
So I felt very uneasy. In the past, they were the second wife and had to suppress the first wife, but I don’t know when the first wife started to suppress them.
They were always a head shorter than they used to be.
