Chapter 59
Hearing what Meng Jinyu said, Liu Anqin's face suddenly turned pale.
She never dreamed that Gu Zhimin was still alive.
At this moment, looking at this familiar face, her eyes dimmed a little bit, and finally, as if all her strength was drained out, her eyes became lifeless.
When she first heard the news of Gu Zhimin's sacrifice, she was at a loss.
As a woman, she struggled to raise her child, took over his belongings from his comrades, signed various consent forms, accepted pensions, and even participated in a small memorial service held within the army.
During the whole process, she cried bitterly and fainted several times. When she woke up, she always saw Gu Qi looking at her with helpless eyes.
But what could she do? She was helpless.
Later, when she met Zhou Xin, her mood became slightly better.
It’s not that she doesn’t love Gu Zhimin, nor is it that she is completely devoted to Zhou Xinduo, but in that situation, she really needs someone to care about her.
However, just when she started her new life, Gu Zhimin came back.
He is not dead, he is alive and well.
Liu Anqin was at a loss, as if she had done something wrong. She kept a distance from Zhou Xin and then stared at Gu Zhimin closely.
"Xiao Qi is my son. I just want him to apologize, not--"
"The two old leaders will definitely understand." Zhou Xin interrupted her. After calming down, he looked at the two old comrades, considered the military rank Meng Jinyu had just mentioned, and said, "We are intellectuals. Let's be calm and make this matter clear. There's no need to keep saying 'taking advantage of others'. It's too ugly."
He thought that the old leader would criticize Meng Jinyu after hearing what he said, and in this way he would have the upper hand.
But who knew that Commander Zhao had a hot temper and cursed at him. He then said, "Comrade Gu saw this because he didn't sacrifice himself. If he really died, his father and son would be bullied! This female comrade is right. He is such a bastard who takes advantage of others' power!"
"Xiao Ding." Captain Li's face was also livid. "Contact the Public Security Bureau immediately, lock up these two people, and interrogate them thoroughly! Our military comrades have shed so much blood on the battlefield, we cannot let shameless people chill the hearts of our military comrades and make them bleed and cry!"
The soldier immediately ran out.
Zhou Xin and Liu Anqin originally wanted to rescue Zhou's father and mother, but now they were also being taken away, and they were suddenly very panicked.
They kept making excuses and even asked Gu Qi to speak for them so that their old leaders and Gu Zhimin would let them go.
"Your name is Gu Qi?" Commander Zhao waved at him, asked him to stand in front of him, and said, "Tell me how you have been spending these days."
Liu Anqin looked at him with pleading eyes.
Meng Jinyu patted his shoulder and said, "Tell us all your grievances."
Gu Qi nodded: "I lived in Zhou's house. They were very polite to me in the first few days. But later, seeing that I came often, Uncle Zhou and his parents reminded me not to go. I thought my mother wanted to see me, so I went anyway. That day, they said they were going to a state-owned restaurant for dinner and asked me to stay at home. There was nothing to eat at home. My mother didn't come back until ten o'clock in the evening. She hugged me and cried, saying that she was sorry for me."
Gu Zhimin's eyes darkened, and he gripped the wheelchair handle tightly with one hand, with veins popping out on the back of his hand.
This is what they did to his son when he was unconscious!
"She said sorry to you, but did she let you eat?" Commander Zhao frowned.
Gu Qi shook his head.
"You're talking nonsense!" Liu Anqin said excitedly, "There's nothing to eat at home, nothing at all. When I woke up the next morning, didn't I immediately go buy you steamed buns and soybean milk?"
Gu Qi looked at Liu Anqin quietly, there was no expectation in his eyes anymore, instead there was a deep sadness.
He didn't lie.
At that time, she said she had no choice, and he believed her.
But after that, many things happened, and every time I had no control over it.
If he was not extremely disappointed, how could a nine-year-old child like him make up his mind to leave the Zhou family?
"Do you have anything else to say?" Commander Zhao asked.
Gu Qi was silent for a moment: "I still have a pen, it was a gift from my father, and the old lady of the Zhou family confiscated it after hearing about it. I just heard Aunt Jin Yu call you commander, is the commander the most outstanding soldier in the army? Can you help me get the pen back?"
"Of course." Commander Zhao raised his hand, kept it in the air for a long time, and finally gently placed it on Gu Qi's back.
This child has a hard time.
Captain Li looked at Gu Zhimin and said, "Your son is so courageous at such a young age. He dared to speak in front of Commander Zhao, and he spoke in an orderly manner! This kid will have a bright future!"
Everyone knows that Commander Zhao is usually serious and silent, but his eyes are like knives wrapped in ice and snow. One glance from him can scare all the comrades in the army who have been on the battlefield into silence.
But Gu Qi was not afraid of him.
Captain Li laughed and joked, which made the atmosphere in the ward much better.
Mr. Gu has come back to his senses and asked about the situation at that time.
After listening to Gu Zhimin, the old man said with emotion: "It was a narrow escape from death. You are lucky to have survived!"
Captain Li said with a smile: "Old man, if you survive a disaster, you will be blessed in the future. Your son will have many good days ahead of him!"
Zhou Xin frowned slightly.
Gu Zhimin has made great military achievements, and his future in the army will be limitless.
Even if he was injured and finally chose to retire, the army leaders decided not to treat him unfairly.
If he is directly assigned to be the director of the Public Security Bureau, how will he target me?
Zhou Xin thought about this and immediately glanced at Liu Anqin.
I thought she was as worried as I was, but who knew that her eyes were full of resentment and affection.
She looked at Gu Zhimin deeply, her eyes seemed to be attached to him, without even blinking.
As for Gu Zhimin, he didn't even look at her, as if they had never met before.
More than ten minutes later, the police from the police station arrived.
They took Zhou Xin and Liu Anqin away, saying they were taking them to the station to assist in the investigation.
Zhou Xin kept explaining and asked Liu Anqin to explain with him.
Liu Anqin looked at Gu Zhimin and shook her head, saying that she had really never done anything to hurt Gu Qi.
"I'm Xiaoqi's mother, how could I possibly make him sad?"
"I just can't help myself. How can a child not feel wronged when entering a new family?"
Liu Anqin's voice was very soft, and she sounded tearful. Even after the police took her away, the people in the ward could still hear what she said.
Gu Qi lowered his head and clutched the corner of his clothes: "Dad, will Mom be okay?"
Gu Zhimin patted his head and said, "Don't worry, Commander Zhao and Captain Li are just teaching them a lesson."
Regimental Commander Li also said, "I just heard on the way here that the two old men said that Comrade Gu's son had no father and was uneducated. But if they really insulted soldiers and their families, then they did not do so. They will not be sent to labor reform. However, criticism and education in the unit is inevitable. This is a problem of ideological awareness. I am afraid they will lose their jobs."
First he was criticized in public at a company meeting, had to read a self-criticism, and then lost his job. This was enough to make the Zhou family lose face.
Perhaps for some villagers in Fenglin Village, such as Wang Xiaofen, so-called dignity is the least worth mentioning thing, but it is different for the Zhou family.
They had lived decently for decades, but after being sent to the cowshed, they fell from heaven to hell. This time they were rehabilitated, and they just wanted to get back their lost face, but they didn't expect that there would be a new round of suppression.
Meng Jinyu didn't know much about them, but from Liu Anqin's reaction just now, she could guess that the Zhou family would make trouble in the future.
It is unbearable for any man to have a wife who is still obsessed with her ex-husband.
What's more, there are two elderly people in the Zhou family who like to stretch their arms out.
With Comrade Gu's character, he would certainly not be restrained by petty emotions and would repeatedly deal with the Zhou family.
I think this matter should have come to an end now.
Commander Zhao and Captain Li suggested leaving first. Seeing that Gu Zhimin had difficulty moving, they refused to let him see them off. Before leaving, they also advised him to have a good rest and spend time with his family.
After the two old comrades and the soldier left, only the Gu family and Meng Jinyu were left in the ward.
Meng Jinyu had never seen the serious Old Man Gu so happy as he was now, and she had never seen the silent Gu Qi show his childish side as he was now. He depended on his father, just like Youyou and Shanshan depended on themselves.
She laughed, and the light in her eyes became gentle.
Every child has to grow up only when he or she is not loved.
Now that Gu Qi's father is back, he will be a child who is loved by others from now on.
"Mr. Gu, I have to go back first." Meng Jinyu said, "You should have a good rest and don't worry too much, so that your body can get better slowly."
Old Master Gu's temper was not as stubborn as usual. Listening to Meng Jinyu's instructions on what to eat and how to rest, he was not impatient at all. He agreed readily and smiled happily.
Like an old child.
Looking at this harmonious and happy family, Meng Jinyu felt sincerely happy.
Gu Qi walked her to the door: "Thank you, Auntie."
Meng Jinyu rubbed his hair: "You're welcome. You are Youyou's best friend. Brother Gu Qi will not be wronged in the future. Our Youyou can rest assured."
Hearing this, Gu Qi grinned, and his black and white eyes became even clearer and purer.
As they talked, Gu Zhimin kept his attention on Meng Jinyu.
He had never seen this lesbian before.
Judging from what the old man and Gu Qi said, she must be a kind person who provided them with a lot of help in the village.
Meng Jinyu turned to leave the ward, and suddenly remembered that she forgot to say hello to Gu Zhimin. She raised her hand and waved, saying, "Goodbye."
Gu Zhimin tried to get up by holding the handle of the wheelchair, but he couldn't. He nodded slightly and thanked him like Gu Qi did.
When her back gradually went away, Gu Zhimin said to Gu Qi: "Xiao Qi, tell Dad what happened during this period of time."
Reunion is a rare opportunity that is hard-won and is particularly precious.
Mr. Gu was lying on the hospital bed, listening to the conversation between his son and grandson, and he felt like he was dreaming.
A few days ago, he thought he was dying. While lying on the hospital bed, he was depressed and worried about his grandson. He was afraid that if he was gone, his grandson would be left alone.
But now, his son is back.
Oddly enough, the moment he saw Gu Zhimin, Mr. Gu felt that his whole body became clear, even the turbid air that had been blocking his chest disappeared without a trace.
Could it be that this is the legendary heart disease that needs to be cured with heart medicine?
Time passed in the blink of an eye. It was only through Gu Qi that Gu Zhimin realized that so many things had happened in the past few months.
Not to mention that Liu Anqin remarried in a short period of time, what made him even more scared was that the old man was hospitalized twice.
Fortunately, there was someone watching the old man both times, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
"Thanks to Youyou and her family," Gu Qi said. "Whether it was the first time I was hospitalized or this time when they asked me to stay temporarily, they helped our family a lot."
Gu Zhimin hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, we should thank them."
After he finished speaking, he looked at his father again: "Dad, do you understand the situation of the Meng family? If we want to express our gratitude, we must be sincere and express our gratitude in a targeted way."
…
Everyone gathered at the door of Youyou's house.
As soon as they saw Xu Zhilan's dress and the aura in her every move, they felt that this person was extraordinary. After hearing what Jiang Guo said and learning her identity, their eyes widened.
Jiang Guo said that the person who came to see her sister was the deputy director of the art troupe and the director of the song and dance troupe. When introducing them, the little girl straightened her back and raised her chin, like a proud peacock, so proud.
What's there to brag about? Isn't it——
Well, it is indeed remarkable.
Such a big shot actually came to Fenglin Village. The village cadres came to Youyou's house one after another to express their welcome to Captain Xu. They called him "Captain" one after another, but they didn't know where to put their hands and seemed particularly uneasy.
Captain Xu didn't put on airs, but he really didn't have much to say to them. After nodding slightly to show politeness, all his attention was focused on Youyou.
"Youyou, your mother hasn't come back yet?"
Little Tuanzi was busier than a bee. She and her older brother, sister and younger brother used the hospitality skills taught by their mother. They poured water, brought candies, brought stools, and held Captain Xu's hand to sit down.
Looking at this scene, the villagers were even more surprised.
Even the village cadres who had seen the world were trembling with nervousness in front of the head of the art troupe. Why was Youyou so friendly to her, as if she were an old acquaintance?
"My mother is busy." Youyou said, "Is there anything the group leader wants to talk to you about?"
Looking at Youyou's eyes that sparkled like black grapes, Xu Zhilan smiled and hooked her nose: "The troupe leader just said that she hopes you can come to our troupe and become a little actor in the art troupe. This is no joke, so I have to wait for your mother to come back and ask her opinion."
The villagers couldn't help but lower their voices and whispered softly.
"This leader is so nice to Youyou!"
"You call me Auntie all the time. It's so kind. I used to think that city people were arrogant because they all looked up at the top of their heads. I didn't expect that the director of this art troupe would be so nice."
"I feel like she's not friendly to everyone. When she was talking to the village officials just now, although her attitude wasn't bad, it was still quite cold. Only in front of Youyou did she smile, and she spoke so kindly, as if she was coaxing Youyou."
"It turns out that Youyou is not only popular in our village, but also outside the village, and in such a prestigious art troupe, people like her so much!"
Jiang Huanming heard all these discussions.
He stood in the corner of the crowd, looking at the little girl in the room who was listening to the group leader with her head tilted, and he felt completely dazed.
That’s the art troupe, a place no one else can enter!
Jiang Huanming walked through the crowd and squeezed in front of Xu Zhilan: "Captain, I am Youyou's father. Her mother is not at home. If you have any questions, just discuss them with me directly."
Xu Zhilan glanced at Jiang Huanming with a suspicious look.
Before, Youyou came to the group every week.
It has been several months, and I have only heard her mention her mother and brothers and sisters, and never talked about her father.
"I am a formal employee of the commune supply and marketing cooperative, and this is my work ID." Jiang Huanming quickly took out his work ID.
However, before Xu Zhilan could even look at his work ID, Jiang Guo spoke lazily.
"He has no say. Let's just wait for our mother to come home."
Jiang Huanming looked embarrassed and wanted to scold Jiang Guo, but he couldn't do so because Captain Xu was still there. He had to hold his breath and listen to the voices outside the room that were making fun of him.
Fortunately, Meng Jinyu came back not long after.
Meng Jinyu was surprised when she saw Xu Zhilan.
Xu Zhilan quickly made clear her purpose: "Youyou is a very talented child. Whether she is practicing singing and dancing in the training room or on the stage, she is very expressive and contagious. Our troupe usually has many repertoires and needs young actors. Therefore, I want Youyou to become a regular young actor in the song and dance troupe and participate in our performances in the future."
Speaking of Youyou's performance on stage, Xu Zhilan raised her lips slightly and talked endlessly: "You may not know that when we were in Ling City, Youyou's performance left a deep impression on the leaders of the army. Many people came to ask me where I found this child."
"Several art soldiers in our group also praised Youyou highly. Whether it was Jingjing or Chuyou, their appreciation for Youyou was based on professional perspectives."
Meng Jinyu looked at her little girl, who was still ignorant but already showing a sweet smile, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
During this period, Youyou was too busy, busy bringing her uncle and sister Jingjing together, busy warming and healing Chuyou, and busy slapping Chulei in the face...
Meng Jinyu would not stop her from doing this. She knew that what the child wanted to do were good and meaningful things.
Seeing that Su Jingjing and Chu You's lives are now back on track and they will not repeat the fate of their previous life, Meng Jinyu is happy for them and proud of her little daughter.
But she didn't expect that after doing so many things, everything would end up back to square one.
Back to the opportunity to join the art troupe.
Captain Xu likes this child, and under the influence of Su Jingjing and Chu You, he increasingly wants to invite Youyou to join the troupe.
This was not something Meng Jinyu thought about on her own, but because she found that when Youyou hesitated and wanted to refuse, Captain Xu did not give up, but was still fighting for it.
"But I want to stay at home and be with my mother, brothers, sisters and younger brother," said Youyou.
Director Xu was silent for a moment. "You go to primary school in the city, and come to the troupe for rehearsal after school. I can arrange for you to stay at the school or the troupe. Would Youyou be unwilling?"
Youyou shook her head and snuggled in her mother's arms.
Captain Xu couldn't help but laugh.
No matter how brave this child is outside, when she returns home, she is just a little girl who misses her mother.
"Then we will come here every Friday like we did during our previous training. When you come, you can stay overnight at Jingjing's house, your uncle's house, or my house, and go back on Sunday, okay?"
Meng Jinyu didn't expect that Captain Xu was willing to make such a big concession.
If it weren't for Su Jingjing and Chu You's affirmation of Youyou, I'm afraid Youyou would have left home early and been forced to learn to be independent, just like in her previous life?
The situation now is perfect. The children go to the art troupe for two days a week, which is almost the same as attending training classes in later generations.
Now, Youyou was also tempted: "Can I be with my family and dance at the same time?"
"That's right. And when you grow up a little bit, you can also participate in the selection of the art troupe and officially become an art soldier in our troupe." Captain Xu said, and then asked, "Are you willing?"
"Of course I am!" Youyou's eyes lit up immediately and she nodded rapidly.
The villagers held their breath in surprise.
Not only will I become a small actor in the troupe, but I will also be an art soldier in the future?
This kid is really successful!
Captain Xu breathed a sigh of relief.
The little girl is so talented, we can't waste her time.
Captain Xu and Youyou's family were all very happy. When she turned around to leave, she looked at her brothers and sisters again.
"The children are all good-looking and look a lot like you," said Captain Xu with a smile.
Jiang Huanming, who had been standing there frozen and ignored for a long time, pursed his lips and said nothing. He felt a lump in his heart that he could neither let go nor let out.
He also had a hand in giving birth to these children.
Why is it never his turn to be praised?
…
Fang Fang sat at home, not wanting to eat or drink.
Fang's father and mother saw this and became extremely anxious.
"You saw Comrade Gu's attitude that day. He was so determined that he rejected your feelings without even thinking about it. What's the point of you being in love with him?"
At the hospital, Fang Fang tried her best to get him to go back to Jiangcheng, but he was too lazy to even say a word to her.
"Dad, Mom, instead of helping me find a solution, you're pouring cold water on me!" Fang Fang said angrily.
Fang's mother looked embarrassed. "Child, it's not that we don't want to help you. At that time, I said that you were a young girl, cleaning his body every day and treating him as your future husband. He just patted his butt and left. How can you get married in the future? ... And what did he say? Have you forgotten it?"
Fang Fang looked embarrassed and said nothing.
Father Fang sighed and said, "He said that you are—"
"Don't mention it again. How can Fangfang face it?" Fang's mother wiped her tears and said, "He is so heartless."
Fang Fang ignored them and pushed them both out of the house: "If you can't help, stop talking about these useless things. I'll find a way myself!"
With a bang, she closed the door.
Fang Fang tossed and turned in bed all night, unable to fall asleep.
He doesn't love me because they haven't developed any feelings for each other yet.
She took good care of him during those few months, but Gu Zhimin was in a coma and he knew nothing!
Fang Fang believed that if she was given a little more time, Gu Zhimin would definitely be moved.
Indeed, she was attracted by his appearance at first sight and deceived herself by telling herself that he was not married yet.
But now, he is single again!
That day, comrades from the army came to the hospital and brought the news that his wife had remarried.
Fang Fang couldn't bear it when she thought of his shocked and lost expression at that time.
He was such a good man, how could his wife have the heart to remarry a few months after learning of his "death"?
If it were me, I would definitely not be willing to do so.
He has now returned to Jiangcheng, and it must be very painful for him to face everything alone.
Fang Fang wanted to be by his side, whether to take advantage of an opportunity or to provide timely assistance, she must stay with him!
She made up her mind, and the next day she secretly took her money and luggage and went to work without telling her parents.
She wanted a letter of introduction and went to Jiangcheng to find Gu Zhimin.
"It can't be opened. It can't be approved."
Looking at the indifferent expressions of her colleagues in the office, Fang Fang was incredulous: "Why can't it be opened? I have already asked for leave!"
"It's not a question of whether to ask for leave or not." The other party said, "The army and the public security bureau have already intervened. As long as it's you, Fang Fang, who wants a letter of introduction, no one can approve it. Of course, maybe you have found a loophole, but even if you go to the train station, the comrades at the train station will not let you buy a train ticket to Jiangcheng!"
Fang Fang was stunned: "Then I can't go to Jiangcheng?"
"Go on foot." The other person glanced at her calmly and then said, "I advise you not to commit suicide. Even if you really go on foot, you will be turned back halfway if you don't have a letter of introduction. People don't want to bother with you anymore. As a female comrade, don't keep pestering them. Save yourself a little dignity."
Fang Fang bit her lip and froze in place.
He was really too cruel to her.
He is so decisive, does he really look down on her?
…
Zhou Xin was tormented for three whole days.
The comrades at the police station did not clearly indicate whether they would be sent to labor camps, and simply let them stay in the detention room.
The family was taken out from time to time for questioning and then taken back to the detention room.
What made Zhou Xin even more embarrassed was that one of the public security comrades in the police station turned out to be his old classmate!
What is it like to be interrogated by your old classmates every day?
Even when he was in the bullpen, he had never been so embarrassed.
After three days, Zhou Xin and his parents were exhausted.
When they were released, all three of them had lost color on their faces, and Liu Anqin had lost a lot of weight.
When the family returned home, the atmosphere was particularly heavy.
That night, Liu Anqin and Zhou Xin lay on the bed, back to back, without saying a word.
But who would have known that when the Zhou family returned to the unit the next day, they encountered even bigger troubles.
Their respective units made the same request, asking them to write self-criticisms and to make self-criticisms in public.
Zhou Xin and his parents were thin-skinned. When they came down from the company meeting, their faces were so red that they looked like blood was dripping out.
When they got home, the old couple scolded Liu Anqin harshly, saying that she was a jinx who brought unrest to the Zhou family.
Isn’t Liu Anqin also feeling uncomfortable?
You know, when she was with Gu Zhimin in the past, he spoiled her to the sky, and her father-in-law never interfered in her life.
Pain and regret overwhelmed her, and she asked herself again and again why she was so weak and married Zhou Xin to escape reality.
Now, Gu Zhimin has become her ex-husband, and Gu Qi is unwilling to pay attention to her anymore.
It would be nice if everything could go back to the beginning.
Liu Anqin stroked her slightly bulging belly.
Once upon a time, Gu Zhimin loved her to the core. Now, is he willing to accept her again?
If possible, she really wanted to remarry him and start over.
After all, such deep feelings cannot be cut off just by saying so.
…
Youyou is very concerned about Gu family's affairs.
Of course, she didn’t understand the emotional problems of Gu Qi’s parents. All she was thinking about was, how is Brother Gu Qi doing now?
Fortunately, Brother Gu Qi did not forget her. A few days later, he came to visit her with his grandfather and father.
As soon as she saw Gu Qi, Youyou was so happy that she excitedly took him to the threshing ground to play.
Gu Qi was no longer as silent as before. He was full of energy, with the corners of his mouth raised, looking even more handsome than usual!
Looking at the two children playing, Meng Jinyu smiled.
"Gu Qi must be very happy these days," she said.
"He doesn't even want to do his homework, and he pesters me every day to play with him." Gu Zhimin also smiled faintly, "I wasn't so naughty when I was a child."
"He wants to make up for the companionship he has spent over the past few months." Meng Jinyu poured him and Mr. Gu a glass of water.
It can be seen that Gu Zhimin has recovered well, his complexion is much better, and he no longer needs to sit in a wheelchair.
"Thank you so much for this time. I heard from Xiaoqi that you were planning to bring him to Ling City to pick me up." Gu Zhimin said.
The two chatted for a while, and suddenly, Meng Jinyu thought of something: "By the way, Youyou said that there was a female comrade who took care of you in the hospital in Ling City. Has the problem over there been dealt with now?"
There are no secrets between Youyou and her mother, and she tells her everything she dreams about.
Meng Jinyu guessed that the female comrade surnamed Fang must be very difficult to deal with, so she couldn't help but ask a question.
I thought Gu Zhimin might not be willing to talk about it, but unexpectedly, he was so frank and generous.
"The army put pressure on her. Even if she could get a letter of introduction and leave Ling City, she would not be able to come to Jiangcheng," said Gu Zhimin.
After he finished speaking, he briefly mentioned the process of Fang Fang's entanglement at that time.
He couldn't say why, he just felt that this female comrade was different from those villagers in the village who liked to gossip, and she helped the Gu family so much.
Therefore, there is no need for him to hide some things.
Old Master Gu was helpless when he mentioned this: "The soldier who came to visit me told me everything about what happened at that time. She saved Zhimin, and of course I am grateful to her. But I don't know what this person is thinking. She said that she had taken care of Zhimin personally, so she had to marry him..."
Meng Jinyu was stunned.
In later lives, she had seen such proactive girls, but in this era, it was rare to find someone as paranoid as the other person.
Moreover, after chatting just now, she knew that Gu Zhimin was two years older than her. He was 33 years old, so he didn't look like he was unmarried, right?
That lesbian and her family are really outrageous.
"If he really came here and cried and made a fuss about how wronged he was, it would be very ugly." Old Master Gu was both angry and amused. .
"Then charge her with hooliganism!" Meng Jinyu said directly, "She was unconscious at the time, and there were gay men in her family, so why did she have to take care of her?"
Old Master Gu smiled. "You and Zhimin are thinking the same thing. When he was in the hospital, he said he was going to sue her for hooliganism. That family wanted to find a hole to crawl into, and they couldn't say a word."
While Grandpa Gu and Meng Jinyu were chatting and laughing, Gu Zhimin picked up the enamel pot and took a sip.
Then he glanced around and saw a cutting table made of two wooden boards and a sewing machine in the room.
He had inquired and found out that Meng Jinyu, together with several other female comrades in the village, made clothes for the Red Star Garment Factory.
However, the Red Star Garment Factory currently does not have any formal employment positions.
…
Three days later, Meng Jinyu was invited to the Red Star Garment Factory.
She originally thought that the Red Star Garment Factory called her over because Zhang Xiaochun was going to the city.
After all, once Zhang Xiaochun left, they would lose a capable helper. The director of the custom-made clothing workshop might even ask her to think of a way to add another person.
But unexpectedly, what Director Yuan said as soon as he opened his mouth shocked her.
"The head of the garment group at Chunyu Garment Factory thinks highly of your craftsmanship and wants you to go there. You said this--" Director Yuan shook his head, "I really don't want to let you go, but to be honest, not everyone can enter Chunyu Garment Factory, and they are now recruiting regular employees. Comrade Meng, this is the address of Chunyu Garment Factory, you can go there and learn more about the situation in their factory. People always strive for higher positions, and you deserve better development."
When coming out of the Red Star Garment Factory, Meng Jinyu felt that her steps were empty, as if she was walking in mid-air.
The reason why she was unwilling to work at Red Star was that Red Star could not make her a formal employee, and in later generations, the development of Red Star Garment Factory was not good.
But the leader of the garment group of Chunyu Garment Factory offered him a position as a regular employee, and even in later generations, Chunyu is still an enduring brand.
The salaries of regular employees in state-owned enterprises are not low these days, and she has heard about how good the welfare benefits of Chunyu Garment Factory are.
Formal workers receive high salaries and are also allocated housing.
There are still several years before the policy is relaxed. If I can take my children to the city to settle down first,
Exciting news indeed!
Meng Jinyu was eager to try, but she also knew that free lunch would not come easy.
This is Chunyu Garment Factory, a good company that many high school students can’t get into, so how could she get her turn?
Perhaps Mr. Gu or Gu Zhimin used his connections to thank her and Youyou.
Arriving at the gate of Chunyu Garment Factory, Meng Jinyu raised her head and looked at the factory gate.
Today, it is just an ordinary factory, but who could have imagined that it would be the birthplace of a well-known domestic brand decades later?
Meng Jinyu registered with the security guard and then found the office of the garment group leader according to the guard's instructions.
The team leader took her to the production workshop, where there were several tables. Several female comrades stood in front of the tables, holding the drawings for comparison.
At first glance, it looks like a clothing design.
Meng Jinyu couldn't help but look at it a few more times, but unexpectedly at this moment, a voice sounded.
"Team leader, you can't just stuff anyone into our team, right? Can she design?" The other party was a little cold, but not sarcastic, just a little more direct, "The sewing team is also short of staff, you can arrange for her to go there."
Meng Jinyu raised her eyes and saw a fashionable lesbian.
This person——
Looks somewhat familiar.
"Yuqing, you haven't seen the level of this female comrade yet, how can you conclude that she has no real talent?" said the team leader.
Meng Jinyu's heart skipped a beat and it seemed as if her heart skipped a beat.
The other person was Shen Yuqing, whom she had seen in a TV interview in later life.
This person has a flamboyant personality, but she has her own insights in clothing design. In later generations, her name has become a legend.
Shen Yuqing, who was able to travel around the world in the 1980s, study along the way, participate in major design competitions, and become an outstanding young designer in the world, can be said to be talented and very courageous.
"Then let her show her skills." Shen Yuqing teased the team leader, "You said so. If she doesn't have the real talent, let her go to the sewing group."
The team leader looked at Shen Yuqing helplessly, unable to do anything with her.
At this moment, Meng Jinyu knew more clearly than ever what she wanted to do.
She wants to stay.
It was just a small fight before, and this is her first step.
The most solid step.
No matter what, she had to follow Shen Yuqing, learn something and lay a foundation for the future.
She was going to leave Fenglin Village with her children and enter a new stage of life.
"You're not talking. Are you scared?" Shen Yuqing raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.
"Don't be afraid." Meng Jinyu also smiled, and said firmly, "You can make any request you want. I am happy to accept any challenge!"
…
On the other side, Ruan Wenwen was about to give birth.
There was a female prisoner on the farm who had learned midwifery from an old man in the village.
At this moment, she took the initiative to ask to go into the house to help, but when it came to the critical moment, she was unskilled and panicked, and she even broke out in sweat.
Ruan Wenwen was in excruciating pain, crying and shouting that she didn't want to have the baby anymore. She tossed and turned for the entire night and didn't even have the strength to speak.
It was almost dawn before she heard the excited voices.
"It's almost there, it's almost there, the head is about to come out! Try harder..."
Ruan Wenwen used all her strength.
The sound of a baby crying was heard.
When she felt the moment of relief, she was full of anticipation.
This is the child that she had given birth to with all her might, and a feeling of maternal love arises spontaneously.
One year would soon be up and she would be leaving the labor camp.
When the time comes and she returns to Fenglin Village with her chubby son, the Jiang family will definitely accept her.
"It's a girl!" a surprised voice rang out.
Ruan Wenwen felt like she had been punched and had no desire to live.
She comforted herself that it would be fine if the child was good-looking, like Jiang Guo and Youyou.
But who knew that when she struggled to turn her face away, it was as if she was hit by another severe blow.
This girl has only a few hairs on her head. She is very dark and thin, and looks very dry, but her face is quite big.
Look again, why does it look so familiar?
This kid looks so much like Old Lady Jiang.
That expression, those facial features, that forehead, they're exactly the same.
It's like giving birth to a "mother-in-law".
It's so awful.
