Mother Gu was so happy that her daughter-in-law felt sorry for her, and she felt sorry for her daughter-in-law too, so she pushed the soda next to her back and said, "Shushu, I have one here. You can drink this one."
"One bottle is enough for me, Aunt Gu, this bottle of soda is for you."
Father Gu, who was eating a popsicle on the side, saw that the two of them were trying to shove each other back and forth without any result, so he said bluntly, "It's just a bottle of soda, right? I'll buy more after you finish it."
His monthly salary could buy him many bottles of soda, which he could drink from the beginning to the end of the month. Even in the twenty or thirty years he had been with his wife, this was the first time he knew about her habit of drinking soda.
How come he hadn't noticed it before? Father Gu hated himself for being a derelict in his duty as a husband, not even knowing his wife's preferences.
When he returns to Beijing, he will buy all kinds of soda and let his wife try them all to make up for his negligence as a husband over the years.
Finally, Mother Gu shamelessly took the soda, drank two bottles of soda, and ate a piece of cream popsicle, then burped back and forth.
Mother Gu was very embarrassed to be embarrassed in front of her daughter-in-law. She tried to make amends for herself, saying, "Shushu, I'm not usually like this, it's just..."
Before she could finish her words, Mother Gu burped again.
Jiang Yunshu noticed Mother Gu's shyness and said sympathetically, "Auntie Gu, there's bubbles in soda. I had the same problem before when I drank too much. I kept burping, but it will be fine after a while."
Mr. Gu returned the beverage bottles that everyone had drunk from. He could get a refund of two cents for each bottle, and a total of eight cents for four empty glass bottles.
Father Gu used the eight cents to buy Jiang Yunshu an apple-flavored popsicle.
At this time, the minibus to Anshi was about to depart.
"Shushu, take good care of yourself and write home more often. Grandma and I will miss you." Mother Gu leaned outside the car window, waving her handkerchief and saying goodbye to Jiang Yunshu.
Seeing that his wife had forgotten him, Father Gu quickly said, "Shushu, and Uncle Gu, Uncle Gu is also waiting for you in Beijing."
Thinking of the many pickpockets on the train, Jiang Yunshu reminded him, "I understand, Uncle Gu, please be careful with your luggage on the way and don't let it be stolen. I'll leave Grandma Gu and Aunt Gu in your care."
Before she could finish her words, Mother Gu pushed Father Gu, who had taken her seat, out of the way. Just as she opened her mouth to speak, the car started, and the rumbling sound of the departure quickly drowned out her voice.
Then they walked farther and farther away, until even when she stuck her head out of the window, she still couldn't see Jiang Yunshu. Only then did Mother Gu angrily withdraw her gaze and stared at Father Gu with hatred.
"Wife, don't look at me like that, otherwise I will be scared." Father Gu was a little restless and felt uneasy.
Mother Gu said fiercely: "It's all your fault just now. My daughter-in-law and I didn't even say a word in the end. I will settle the score with you when I get home."
She is a very vengeful person. When she thinks of what happened just now, she becomes displeased with Gu's father.
Let’s settle the score! No! I won’t do it even if I’m beaten to death!
Father Gu has been living a celibate life for many days. If he continues like this, his body will not be able to bear it. He just wants to sleep with his wife in his arms at night and does not want to sleep alone on the floor at night, with no one to love him or care for him.
Father Gu, whose survival value was at its maximum, immediately begged for mercy, but Mother Gu did not buy it. Father Gu was so anxious that he was about to cry in the car.
In the end, it was Grandma Gu who couldn't stand seeing her father doing such a foolish thing, so she stood up and said a few good words on his behalf, and only then was the incident put to rest.
After leaving the station, Jiang Yunshu went to the Youth League Office and found Zhang Cunyou.
Before Jiang Yunshu could even open his mouth to speak, Zhang Cunyou slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "Shushu, you know Lin Wuxing, right? He finally got his comeuppance, and those who backed him have also been implicated. Now they're just waiting for the higher-ups to deal with them.
Lin Yufen and his father have many lives on their hands. If nothing unexpected happens, they will definitely be shot. And your friend, I asked someone to inquire about him, and they said he was released, is that right?"
"Uncle Zhang, thank you for your concern. The person has been released and everything is fine now." Jiang Yunshu couldn't be happier when he heard the Lin family's retribution with his own ears.
However, she also knew that if the Gu family had not helped behind the scenes, the Lin family would probably have to continue to be arrogant for a while before they were brought to justice.
After thinking about this, Jiang Yunshu felt even more grateful to the Gu family.
But what Jiang Yunshu didn't know was that what the Gu family wanted was not her gratitude, but her safety.
"That's good. Every failure is a lesson learned. Just remember this and don't let anyone catch you in the act again. These days are so uneasy, so it's best to be cautious."
Zhang Cunyou felt guilty for not being able to help, but now that he saw that no one was doing anything, he felt relieved. Otherwise, he really didn't know how to face his old comrade's daughter.
Jiang Yunshu nodded and responded repeatedly. After some greetings, Jiang Yunshu directly stated the purpose of his visit.
"Uncle Zhang, how are you doing with the information I asked you to find out last time?"
Jiang Yunshu was eager to find her grandparents, but at the moment, the information she had was not enough to support her in finding them, so she could only ask for help from Zhang Cunyou, the director of the Youth League Office.
Zhang Cunyou shook his head with an embarrassed look on his face. "Shushu, I haven't found the two people you asked me to look for. There are no people named Jiang Zimin and Mu Caiying in the several brigades under the commune."
Hearing this, Jiang Yunshu, who was hit by reality, was a little disappointed. In her new life, she just wanted to find her modern grandparents and be filial to them.
Unexpectedly, even this simple wish could not be fulfilled.
Seeing her sad, Zhang Cunyou said, "Shushu, don't be sad. Maybe I missed it somewhere. After I'm done with these few days, I'll ask someone to look for it. I'm sure I can find it for you."
"Thank you, Uncle Zhang." Jiang Yunshu forced himself to express his gratitude.
"It's almost noon, don't leave, come home with me for dinner later. Your Aunt Wang really wants to see you."
It would not be good to always refuse Zhang Cunyou's invitation, so this time Jiang Yunshu agreed without thinking.
Jiang Yunshu didn't have the habit of visiting someone empty-handed, so she slipped out while someone came in to report to Zhang Cunyou.
Jiang Yunshu came out of the Youth League Office and found a deserted dead end. After confirming again and again that there was no one around, she slipped into the space.
A bag of one-pound glutinous rice cakes and a bottle of canned peaches. These cans were obtained by her from the Jiang family before she went to the countryside. They were perfect gifts for people now.
Jiang Yunshu felt that the bag was a little light, so he bought another bag of brown sugar weighing four taels and put it in a net bag. Only then did he come out of the space with satisfaction.
Zhang Cunyou said, "Shushu, where have you been? I looked for you everywhere but couldn't find you. I thought you were gone."
"No, I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things."
