Chapter 372 Hometown 1

The group took two days of train ride to reach the city. Since they arrived in the afternoon, they had to stay in the city for one night and take a bus back home the next day.

At this time, Wang Dahu particularly hoped to meet Zhang Daneng and Ge Cuilan in the city to let them see that he, Wang Dahu, was no worse than Zhang Daneng.

Zhang Da Neng can only find women in the village, while Wang Da Hu can only find women in Beijing.

Maybe it was because thinking about something all the time would have a response, that night Wang Dahu and Xu Guilan went out to eat and they actually ran into Zhang Daneng and Ge Cuilan.

There is no retribution in the world. Zhang Da Neng and Ge Cuilan cuckolded their partner. People like them should have a hard life, but now they are living a very comfortable life.

Ge Cuilan looks much younger than before. Zhang Daneng can drive a car and has twin sons who are now seven or eight years old.

Wang Dahu thought that if he met the two of them he could show off to them and balance himself mentally, but when he really met them, he found that they were living so well.

He was so upset that he couldn't eat much of his meal.

Gu's second sister told them all this when she came back, and the two families went out to eat together.

Gu's mother sighed and said nothing, and so did Su He.

The next day, the group took a bus back home. When Su He, Gu's second sister and Gu's eldest sister arrived in the county, they went to Gu's third sister's house to have dinner and rest.

Wang Dahu and Xu Guilan went straight home.

Wang Dahu's three sons knew that their father was coming back. Wang Dahu had called before to say that he never expected his father to come back and bring a woman with him.

The three sons were confused for a while, but Wang's father and mother were very happy and kept holding Xu Guilan's hand and talking.

Being a daughter-in-law from Beijing is, at least, a honor for them.

Wang Dahu's three daughters-in-law are not easy to deal with. After chatting with Xu Guilan, I found out that she has three children who are all in school. I immediately understood that all the money earned by their father-in-law is spent on their mother.

I told my husband about this that night.

The eldest daughter-in-law said tactfully, "Master, I'm not saying that if dad makes money, he must give it to you sons. What I mean is that if dad makes money, he should at least keep some for himself, and not use it all to support the four of us, mother and son."

"They are not his biological children. When his father gets old, can the woman's children still support him? Think about yourself."

The second daughter-in-law said sarcastically, "Your father probably doesn't want you sons anymore. He didn't send any money he earned in Beijing to you. He used it all to support other women and children."

"You three brothers are so good, you send money every month, oh, all this money goes into the pockets of the mother and her two children."

The third daughter-in-law was much more direct, "If your father does this, don't expect me to take care of him when he gets old!"

"Your father's own parents didn't want to raise the child, so they gave it to their own son to raise, but he himself went to raise someone else's child."

Although their wives didn't say anything, Wang Dahu's three sons also started to think about it. They heard from Aunt Gu in the county, that is, Aunt Gu's third sister.

It's no problem to make a few hundred yuan a month by setting up a stall in Beijing to sell snacks, and judging from their father's appearance, he also makes money.

He made money, but he didn't buy anything for his family except bringing back a stepmother. Not to mention the adults, he didn't buy anything for his grandchildren. Does this act like a grandfather?

All the money was given to others.

The three sons decided to find some time to have a good talk with their father.

At this time, Su He and his group had dinner at Third Sister Gu's house.

Sister Gu was puzzled. "Mom, you are so old, why are you going back and forth? What is there in your hometown?"

The couple are almost eighty years old, and they are still struggling.

Mother Gu: "Look at your second uncle."

"I'll come back and take a look while I can still walk."

You may not be able to come back even if you want to in the future.

Sister Gu said, "My second uncle is in good health. He can eat and drink well, and he is not sick."

"Alas, this man is old and might pass away one day." Gu's mother sighed.

Her eldest brother was in good health and could eat and drink well, but he passed away suddenly two years ago without any signs.

But this way of dying is also quite good. He passed away peacefully without any illness or pain, and did not torment his children.

If she had been like her sister-in-law Zhang Xiuying, who had been bedridden for half a year before passing away, she would have looked like a completely different person.

After hearing what Gu's mother said, several people at the table sighed.

Team leader Wang, "Auntie Xiuying was in good health before, how come she fell and became paralyzed?"

Sister Gu said, "It's like this when people get old. Old people are like babies. They can't be bumped or bruised. If they are, something bad will happen."

"Actually, your aunts do more work than I do. I stopped working in the fields when I was in my fifties, but your aunts continued to work in the fields until they were in their sixties or seventies," said Gu's mother.

Actually, if you think about it carefully, her life was not bad. She didn't suffer much. It's just that she was bullied by her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law when she was young, but she was fine after she separated from the family.

Later, her son got married, and from then on her life was never unhappy and she was happy every day.

Compared with other women in the village, she doesn't do much work. Since her son got married, she hasn't worked in the fields much. She just does housework and cooks.

"Is Second Uncle doing well in Beijing?" asked Third Sister Gu.

Mother Gu said, "Good, very good. Your second uncle is living a very comfortable life. He goes fishing with your father every day. He looks a lot younger."

"If you don't have money, ask Yinzhu and Sanfeng for it."

Sister Gu said, "That's great. You all have moved to Beijing. I heard from Gu Li's eldest sister-in-law that the three of them will also move to Beijing after the New Year."

"Going to Beijing? To seek refuge in Gu Li?" Su He asked upon hearing this.

Third sister Gu said, "I heard that Gu Li has partnered with someone to open a factory, a clothing factory, and wants a few brothers and sisters-in-law to go over and help."

Su He, "Oh, is that so!"

Opening a factory together? Could it be that she opened it together with her previous life husband Jiang Ming?

It was also a chance encounter. Su He went to a western restaurant and saw Gu Li having dinner with a gentleman. They were both relatives and acquaintances, so he went over to say hello when he met them.

Gu Li introduced the other person to her, and she found out that the other person was her ex-husband Jiang Ming.

Su He couldn't understand, didn't Gu Li hate Jiang Ming?

It’s not like she has no memory of her past life, so why are they still together in this life?

But it's none of her business.

Sister Gu said, "Gu Li is doing very well in business. He even has a car."

She used to think it was an honor to be a college student and work in a respectable enterprise, but she realized that no matter how glorious it was, the monthly salary was just that.

They sold the meat and egg burger for just one day.

Making money is still important.

Su He smiled and said, "Nowadays, as long as you dare to work hard, you can live a good life. A family in the tube building where we lived before opened a breakfast shop."

"He also drove a sedan."

"Oh, that's amazing. I don't know when we can drive a car." Sister Gu said with a smile.

Su He, "Big sister, please let the children buy it, you guys sit down."

Sister Gu shook her head and said, "They can't afford it either. How can they just buy something worth hundreds of thousands of dollars?"

Gu Jianhua, "There are also cheap ones, such as Alto, which can be bought for 70,000 yuan."

Brother-in-law, "Then it's not like yours, okay?"

Second brother-in-law, "Of course, eldest brother-in-law, the one from Jianhua costs 180,000, which is twice as much."

Team Leader Wang, "You can buy a motorcycle first. There's no need to buy a car. You can buy a good motorcycle for 6,000 or 7,000 yuan."

The eldest brother-in-law was very excited and said, "The third brother is right. We can buy a motorcycle."

Sister Gu glanced at him and said, "What's the point of buying a motorcycle? We ride it every day to open the stall, but we don't use it for a day. We might as well use the money to buy a house."

"You said we can't keep renting other people's houses."

The eldest son and the second son have a shop and a house in Beijing. The youngest daughter and her son-in-law also bought a house this winter. They will start decorating it next year and move in after the decoration is completed.

The second brother and his wife also bought a house and live alone.

The couple had been working for more than a year and had saved about 20,000 yuan, but the house price had gone up and they could not buy a house with 20,000 yuan.

In fact, they don't necessarily have to buy a house. It would be nice to buy the yard they rent, but that yard is also quite expensive.

Su He, "Sister, house prices are rising fast. How about we lend you some money so you can buy the house first?"

She had mentioned this before, but Sister Gu said it was not necessary, so she didn't mention it again.

Sister Gu said, "No need. Your brother-in-law and I can buy it after working for another year."

She was a little embarrassed. Her two sons were making a lot of money from their shops. When they needed money, why did they still need their younger siblings to give it to them?

Gu Erjie, "Sister, why don't you listen to Xiaohe and buy the house first, otherwise it will go up in price again next year."

She saved the money and bought the house without hesitation.

"Then I'll go back and buy it after the Chinese New Year?" said Sister Gu.

Some people in Suhe said, "Buy it, buy it, you have to buy it sooner or later. How can a rented house be as comfortable as living at home?"

They are all aunts, and as long as Sister Gu doesn't say anything bad about her, Su He is still willing to help her. Besides, they are already that age.

Su He no longer cared about the little unhappiness he had during his youth.

The group ate, drank and chatted until noon.

There were several bicycles at Gu's third sister's house. Su He, Gu Jianhua and others rode the bicycles back, while Gu's father and mother and Team Leader Wang sent them back on a motorcycle.

Fortunately, it didn’t snow in the past few days, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to walk.

Arrived home.

Team leader Wang said, "I came in the morning and heated the kang, but you guys should heat it again when we go to bed at night. Rice, flour, vegetables and other things are all in the east room. If there is anything missing, you can buy it."

Su He and Gu Jianhua said, "Sorry to bother my brother-in-law."

Team Leader Wang: "It's okay, I'm leaving now."

Gu's mother called from behind, "Are you not staying for dinner?"

"No, Mom."

Since the children did not come back together, the four of them just lived in the front room and not in the back room.

The parents were very moved when they looked at the furnishings in the house.

“It looks the same, but it feels different.”

The house was cleaned very well by the third sister Gu and her team leader Wang, and the quilts and other items were all new.

Su He, "Mom and Dad, things haven't changed, it's us who have changed."

Father Gu said, "Yes, we have changed."

In the afternoon, the family of four did not go out to visit friends and relatives. Instead, they tidied the house carefully and looked for anything missing so that they could buy it tomorrow. It is New Year’s Day, so we should celebrate it in a festive manner.

In the past, in my hometown, my parents would remember to buy these things, but now Gu Jianhua Suhe remembers to buy them.

"How many days will we stay in our hometown?" Su He asked.

Gu's mother thought for a moment and said, "Let's go on the fourth day. It will take two days on the road. On the seventh day, all the stores will be open for business."

Gu Jianhua, "Then these meat and vegetables are not enough, we need to buy more."

Sister Gu and team leader Wang each prepared 20 kilograms of pork, mutton, and beef, five roosters, and three fish.

When they go back to their hometown, it's not just the four of them eating, but relatives and friends will also come over.

Mother Gu said, "You two should go buy some tomorrow. Bring back all the melon seeds, candies, apples, etc."

Father Gu reminded, "Don't forget to buy the couplets and firecrackers as well."

Although they were only staying for a few days, they still celebrated the New Year like it was a traditional festival.
