Chapter 63: Gift from Sister Gu
Su He was timid and was afraid that his family would become suspicious, so he had not been there for more than ten days since his last visit.
She decided to go to the black market once a month, and her annual target was reduced from one thousand to five hundred. Safety was the first priority, and she had to be cautious before she became a skilled shrew.
Soon, Sister Gu had been working for a month and had received her salary.
The first thing Sister Gu did after receiving her salary was to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things for her family.
The first thing she wanted to buy was of course her sister-in-law. In fact, Third Sister Gu mainly wanted to buy it for Su He. She knew Xiao He was good to them and their mother, but she had never given anything in return, which made her very sad.
Now it finally exists.
She bought a bottle of vanishing cream for Su He and a bag of milk powder for the two babies. She didn't have the milk powder ticket, so she exchanged it with her team leader.
She bought her daughter Xueer a pair of rubber-soled shoes and a red headband, so she can wear them when school starts in September. They will match with the military uniform made for her by her aunt. Sister Gu imagined that it would look great.
I bought two kilograms of chicken cake for Gu's parents. The factory gave them meat coupons, one kilogram of meat coupons, and each of their workers was supplied with one kilogram of meat per month.
Third sister Gu bought some pork belly. She wanted her mother to cook it as braised pork. Braised pork is delicious, and it will be even more delicious with some fresh beans.
In addition to these, she also bought other things, such as soap, towel, toothpaste, and toothbrush. The toothbrush she used before only had a few bristles left, so she also bought a toothbrush for Xueer. Xiaohe said that the child was old enough and should brush his teeth.
Buying so many things reduced Sister Gu's salary by half, but it didn't matter, she was happy to buy them.
In this family, she is finally no longer the one who eats for free.
After get off work, I got home. Before dinner, Sister Gu handed out gifts to everyone. She said, "Xiao He, this is the vanishing cream I bought for you."
Su He was neither polite nor refusing. Well, if Third Sister Gu wants to buy it, then just keep it. She smiled and said affectionately, "Thank you, Third Sister."
Sister Gu also smiled and said, "Also, this is the milk powder I bought for the two babies."
Su He was surprised, "Third sister, did you exchange milk powder tickets with someone?"
Sister Gu nodded and said, "I exchanged it with our team leader."
In fact, it wasn't an exchange. Her team leader saw that she needed it, so he said he would lend it to her first and she could return it to him when she had it.
Su He picked up the two children and said, "Thank you, my dearest aunt."
"Gugu~" My sister pouted and reached out for a hug.
"Gugu~" The younger brother held the bag of milk powder and smiled at his third aunt.
These two children.
Third sister Gu hugged her elder sister, then her younger brother, and continued distributing gifts to everyone. She gave gifts to her daughter Xue'er, "Xue'er, these shoes are yours. School starts on September 1st, so you can wear them. And here's the rope."
Third sister Gu thinks she loves her daughter very much and she can give her life for her daughter, but her mother says she doesn't care about Xue'er...
(Some mothers are like this, they are fine with big things but not with details.)
Xue'er is really sensible. She would say thank you even to her own mother. She hugged Third Sister Gu and said, "Thank you, mother."
Sister Gu gave the egg cakes she bought to her parents. Mother Gu joked, "People with salary are different. They bought two kilograms of egg cakes at once."
Sister Gu said, "Dad and Mom, each of you should take one pound."
Everyone present had a gift except Gu Jianhua. He pretended to be sad and said, "It seems that you didn't miss me, so you didn't buy me anything."
Sister Gu, “….” She didn’t mean it, so she just ignored it.
She said, "Eat two more pieces of meat later."
Everyone laughed. At this moment, Sister Gu's happiness reached its peak. It turned out that this was what it felt like to use her own salary to buy things for her family.
She feels so happy.
Su He could see that you were too good to Sister Gu San, and she was frightened and uneasy, especially when she had nothing to give back to you.
If this family gets away with it, Sister Gu will have to do this job until she is 80 years old!
Otherwise, she is 80 years old, and if you give her something, she will start to panic and overthink. What should I do?
Ever since Third Sister Gu started working and used her salary to buy gifts for everyone, her personality seems to have returned to its previous state, cheerful and bright.
I don’t know if it’s because working in the city doesn’t expose her to the wind and sun, but Su He feels that Third Sister Gu has become whiter and more beautiful than before.
The scar on the forehead does ruin the beauty, but it's not a big problem if I cover it with bangs.
It turns out that being confident and cheerful makes people look good.
Not only was Third Sister Gu awkward in the previous two months, Su He was also quite awkward. She didn't like people who were timid. She liked those who were more generous, just like Second Sister Gu.
Gu's mother has a good temper too.
However, Gu's mother told her that she used to be sad because people talked about her having three daughters, but everything became better after she had her son.
No one dared to say anything. Later, her son joined the army and married her as his daughter-in-law. Her daughter-in-law gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. Mother Gu was so proud.
Boost your confidence every day.
In their generation, especially in the villages, the pride of the elderly is their children.
Not sure if it was because of the gift from Third Sister Gu, Su He carefully reviewed the days she spent with Third Sister Gu. She had a carefree personality and went to work every day, so she didn't have the energy to pay attention to the details of their relationship.
She wondered if Third Sister Gu had a sensitive personality, and whether it was because she was busy or in a hurry to do other things when Third Sister Gu talked to her, and her tone of voice was different from usual, or there was something wrong with her eyes.
For ordinary people, it doesn't matter. Third Sister Gu is sensitive and overthinking. If she says something wrong, she will think, "Does my sister-in-law hate me? Does she think I'm eating for free?"
It should be fine now. I have a job. Even if her tone is not right sometimes, I probably won't think too much about it.
Tsk tsk, just like his temper.
Her mother was right, she was still young and too idealistic about how people should get along with each other.
Su He has learned his lesson.
However, if Gu's mother had conflicts with her in the future, it was no big deal. She would give in to her and ignore her. At most, she would complain to Gu Jianhua and her mother behind her back, but she would not bear a grudge.
Just because she was taken good care of during her pregnancy and confinement, and was given a chicken every day, she will not bear a grudge against him.
Also, the old couple in the book are so pitiful, especially Gu's mother, who was such a proud person. How sad it must be that both of them are gone in a moment.
The old send off the young.
What followed was that Zhang Xiuying, Wu Sanfeng and others mocked and bullied her countless times, both openly and secretly.
People with bad intentions don’t care whether your son or daughter-in-law is gone. They will hurt your heart by saying it inadvertently or pretending to comfort you.
But in this life, the second branch of the Gu family has to hold it in, as does the heroine Gu Li, and the hero too!
