"Grandpa will help you get it." Gu Changcheng took the casserole from Gu Wanwan's hand, but Gu Wanwan went into the house first, so he had to close the door tightly.
Ye Sijun brought the kerosene lamp from the kitchen and said, "You grandpa and grandson must have a lot to talk about. We will go and watch the door for you."
Shen Qinghao held her good sister Ye Sijun's hand and motioned for the couple to stay. "We are all family. Your family's affairs are not hidden from us. There is no need to avoid suspicion."
Gu Wanwan put the casserole and white rice on the table, and took out the things in the backpack one by one.
Gu Changcheng looked at the table full of supplies and said with a choked voice, "These are all in-demand goods. Keep them for yourself and don't worry about us. We are all old."
"I have connections. My grandma and great-grandma gave me a lot of money before they left. I still have a job, so I don't need these things. Giving too much will cause conspicuousness. Anyway, the new educated youth site is close to the cowshed. I'll bring it after you finish eating." Gu Wanwan glanced at the broken bowls in the kitchen, reached into the backpack, and took out the bowls and chopsticks that matched the era from the retro space store. She took them out and served a bowl of rice and a bowl of soup for the four people.
Lingquan water is added to the soup to regulate their bodies. Even if they do not eat meat for a long time, they will not have diarrhea.
After the food was distributed, each person was given a set of clean clothes.
Shen Qinghao looked down at her ragged clothes, which could not even be patched, and could not help but sigh at her granddaughter's thoughtfulness, "The clothes are new, you specially patched them, my granddaughter is so smart, woo woo..."
"We have it too?" The Pei couple were so moved that their eyes filled with tears. They had been sent down for so long that they had never eaten a bite of meat or worn new clothes. Gu Qingtang and his mother came to their aid, and Gu's granddaughter came to their aid. "Good boy, you have worked hard. You will be rewarded for your kindness just like Qingtang and his mother."
Ye Sijun wiped her tears, ran back to the house, dug out some things from the corner, and stuffed them all into Gu Wanwan's hands. "They are all worthless things. If we can be rehabilitated in the future, Grandma Pei will give all those things to you. I originally wanted to pass them on to my wife, but... let's not talk about it. Anyway, don't let those bastard relatives of the Pei family get them for free. My mother's family is a red capitalist, and all the family property has been handed over. I didn't expect that my husband and I would be reported by my in-laws. It's because my husband, Pei, is just an adopted son of the Pei family and is not liked by the brothers of the Pei family. We are both teaching at the university, but we were demoted just like that..."
Gu Wanwan glanced at the things in her hand, which were all antique jewelry. These would be extremely valuable in later generations. "Grandma Pei, you have a child, right?"
Speaking of his son, Ye Sijun's face was filled with sadness and longing. "We adopted a child, his surname was Fu, and he was a soldier. My son was very filial, and he even found a good girlfriend with the same surname as him. But he hasn't been home for many years, and there has been no news from him since. Later, when we were sent down to the countryside, we immediately published an announcement in the newspaper to sever ties with him. Poor my daughter-in-law..."
He couldn't say any more and was left with only sobbing.
Shen Qinghao hugged her and patted her shoulder gently, "We will be fine. I always believe that my son and daughter-in-law are not dead. Your son and my son and daughter-in-law are just missing, not sacrificed..."
"From the looks of Grandpa and Grandma Pei, your son is not going to die young. You should take care of yourselves and get redress so that you can be reunited with your son in the future." After Gu Wanwan finished speaking, she changed the subject and said, "My parents are indeed not dead. They wrote to Aunt Zheng some time ago to let her know that they are safe. But don't tell anyone else about this, especially Gu Qiulin."
Gu Changcheng and Shen Qinghao were stunned at first, and their joy at recovering what they had lost was beyond words.
Shen Qinghao covered her mouth and cried, "Really? Thank God... Zheng, I know who she is. She is your mother's sworn sister. I know her. She has been to our house as a guest before."
Gu Changcheng just noticed that Gu Wanwan addressed him as her own aunt with her full name. Could it be that his daughter had done something unforgivable to Wanwan?
Gu Wanwan knew that they had a lot of questions, so she was not in a hurry to tell them. At least she would wait until they finished their meal so that they would not be unable to accept the facts.
"Eat." Gu Changcheng knew his granddaughter best. He picked up the bowl and drank a mouthful of soup. "It's delicious. My granddaughter's cooking skills are really good..."
As I drank, tears welled up in my eyes...
The four of them, with their minds full of thoughts, ate and drank soup in silence, enjoying this moment of peace and warmth.
After they finished eating, Gu Wanwan didn't let them wash the pots and dishes, but directly put the dishes and chopsticks back into the backpack.
Chen Qinghao held her granddaughter's hand and asked her in a trembling voice, "Wanwan, aren't you at your aunt's house? You just said you had a job, why did you come to the countryside? Where are Youyou and An'an? Your aunt said you..."
Gu Wanwan answered the question irrelevantly, "Did Gu Qiulin say that I was not disciplined and was beaten up by a married woman, so I lost a lot of money and wanted to ask you for money?"
The two elders were shocked at the same time.
Gu Wanwan knew that the two elders might not be able to accept it, but she still decided to tell them the whole story.
"Ever since grandma entrusted my sister and me to Gu Qiulin, we haven't had a good day. She and her in-laws abused my sister and me. She and the second wife are birds of a feather. They are asking us about the whereabouts of our treasure. Gu Qiulin said that grandma is a daughter of the Shen family and is eligible to inherit the Shen family's treasure. She teamed up with Gu Yarou to force me to hand over the dragon and phoenix jade pendant. Everything that my uncle and grandma and grandmother gave me was looted by Gu Qiulin's family. They didn't use it for my sister and me at all."
"I didn't agree, so Gu Qiulin and the others beat me until I lost my memory..." She lifted the loose hair on her forehead and peeled off the hair on the back of her head, revealing a hideous scar. "Gu Qiulin couldn't find the jade pendant and the passbook, and seeing that we were useless, she threw us to the Gao family's human traffickers and ordered the Gao family to torture my sister and me to death..."
"In order to control me, the Gao family secretly abducted the twins to Xiangyang Village, separating me and my sister. I lost my memory and worked like a slave for the Gao family, but they spread rumors about me. Gao's daughter Gao Kelian knew the secret of the jade pendant and teamed up with her boyfriend Zhou Tianfu to stage a heroic rescue story to gain my trust and steal my jade pendant and subsidy. The Gao family still didn't let me go. Gao's son wanted to take advantage of me. Gao's daughter Gao Kelian wanted me to go to the countryside for her and signed me up for the Northwest."
"Later, I was hit on the head by the Gao family again. After I recovered my memory, I started to take revenge on the Gao family. They had already captured me and eaten my peanuts. I also took Gao Kelian and his sister to the northwest. But after An An You You was transferred to Gao Lefeng's home, she was taken away by Gao Lefeng again and her whereabouts are still unknown..."
When Shen Qinghao heard the bad news, he fainted on the spot with a thud.
Even though Gu Changcheng was mentally prepared, he couldn't accept the truth. "How dare she? Why did she do this?"
Gu Wanwan fed Shen Qinghao some spiritual spring water, quietly transferring some healing powers to her.
On the other hand, when Gu Qiulin learned that the two elders could not find the passbook, she was afraid of sudden changes and decided to take the risk and go there in person.
