The New Year was spent in eating and drinking, and everyone was busy with work.
Ding Mian’s visiting time was about to end. Before leaving, he came to Ji’s house and asked Gu Hanqiu if she would go back to the Xinghua Brigade with him?
Or should I come back alone after some time?
It turned out that when Ding Mian asked for leave to return to Beijing to visit his relatives, Gu's father and Gu Shui went to find him and asked him to take a letter to Gu Hanqiu.
As soon as Ding Mian got home, he delivered the letter to Gu Hanqiu, and she read it on the spot.
It turned out that after two years of chaos, the Gu family finally decided to split up.
Gu Shui and his son have Gu Hanqiu's support, so they live a decent life.
But the other families did not have Gu Hanqiu's help, so their lives were more difficult.
Besides, as everyone gets older, they all have their own little thoughts.
Grandma Gu is old and a little overwhelmed, unable to control her two daughters-in-law.
For the sake of family harmony and a happy old age for themselves, Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu decided to divide the property among everyone.
If we follow what Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu thought when they were young, they would not want to divide the family property until they died.
But after more than ten years of training by Gu Hanqiu, their ideas have changed a lot and they are more open-minded.
We were suppressed by a baby for more than ten years. Now it’s just a division of the family, a trivial matter!
The most important thing is that Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu discovered that the quality of life at home is so poor without Gu Hanqiu’s help.
With two of them in charge, there are not only many conflicts and a poor life, but also many troubles.
If they split up, the old couple would live on their own and no one would follow them.
They have three sons, and each family gives them a little pension every year.
These pensions are enough for them to live a comfortable life in their old age.
And you don’t have to worry about taking care of the children, what’s wrong with that?
After the idea was approved, Grandpa Gu asked someone to draft the division documents overnight and divided the property among his three sons.
They lived a leisurely life in their old age.
Before Gu Hanqiu left, he told Gu Shui that if the Gu family split up, he would find him a job in the city.
So this time, the letter from her hometown was to ask her implicitly whether this promise still counted.
The second is to invite Gu Hanqiu back to attend the wedding.
That’s right, just let Gu Hanqiu go back to attend the wedding.
After the Gu family split up, the second branch was left with only Gu Erquan and Gu Shui, both men. Without a woman to look after the family, it soon became a mess.
Sometimes when Grandma Gu comes over and sees the messy house, she will help clean it up.
But since the family split up, the old couple can go to the fields whenever they want and rest whenever they want, and their three sons provide them with food.
Grandma Gu usually does some housework at home, tidies up her private plot, or goes out to chat with her old sisters when she has nothing to do. She is very leisurely.
After enjoying such a leisurely life, she must be crazy to be willing to go back and work like a slave for her son and grandson.
But it would not be good to have no woman in the house, so Grandma Gu immediately gave the two of them an idea and asked Gu Shui to marry a wife.
Now all the problems are solved.
After hearing this, Gu Shui and his son thought it was a good idea, so they immediately asked a matchmaker to find a virtuous wife for Gu Shui.
Gu Hanqiu is already twenty-one years old this year, and Gu Shui is two or three years older than her. They are both at least twenty-three or twenty-four this year.
He is still single and has not married yet. In rural areas where people get married at the age of 18 or 19, it is quite rare.
This is mainly because Gu Shui has high standards and does not want to marry an ordinary rural girl casually.
Actually, it is understandable. He has an outstanding sister like Gu Hanqiu by his side, so he naturally looks down on other ordinary people!
In the Xinghua Brigade and even in the entire Shuijing Commune, Gu Hanqiu is the best girl.
People can say that she is unfilial and has a bad temper, but no one says that she is ugly or incompetent.
Not to mention his own sister Gu Hanqiu, even Gu Shui's two cousins are better than some city girls.
The sisters around him are so outstanding, so naturally he doesn't want to find someone with ordinary looks, ordinary family, and ordinary abilities.
What's more, when Gu Hanqiu said that he didn't care about other people in the Gu family, he didn't say that he didn't care about him, Gu Shui, and his father, Gu Erquan.
He has a capable sister to support him, so he naturally has the confidence to find a good wife.
After some searching, the matchmaker found a good-looking city girl as a wife for Gu Shui.
The girl's name is Kong Xue. She is eighteen years old. Her father is a professor at a university and her mother is also an elementary school teacher.
Not only is the girl pretty, she is also well educated and has just graduated from high school.
How could such a good girl in every aspect fall in love with Gu Shui, a country boy?
That’s all because of the revolutionary storm that started half a year ago.
Kong Xue's parents are teachers. Even if they behave themselves, they cannot avoid being affected by this storm.
It was Kong's father who was decisive. Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately resigned and took his family back to his hometown, a small county, to avoid disaster.
The Kong family is a scholarly family with no shortage of money. Kong Xue, the only daughter in the family, is well-fed and well-off.
Sometimes, when you are too beautiful but don’t have the ability to protect yourself, beauty can also be a disaster.
The director of the Revolutionary Committee Office, who had just taken office, accidentally saw her appearance and wanted to marry her to his second son.
The Kong family has some literary character and cannot stand being forced like this.
Moreover, the second son of the director of the Revolutionary Committee Office was a fool. On the surface, he was finding a wife for his son, but who knew what dirty deeds he was doing in private, so the father and son of the Kong family refused without hesitation.
