Chapter 198: Eating Melon in the Contemporary Literature (Ten)
In the impression of the original owner Gu Xiaoni, she used to be very envious and admired Gu Changhe.
I think he is the most promising person in Gujia Village.
It was only after she married into a slum and saw Gu Changhe's "frustration" with her own eyes that Gu Xiaoni's filter was shattered.
However, Gu Qingcheng wouldn't think too much about it.
Good or bad, it’s Gu Changhe’s choice.
We are all adults and we must be responsible for our own choices.
only--
Looking at the cheerful Bai Si Ni, Gu Qingcheng became increasingly pessimistic about the couple.
When women are strong and men are weak, especially in an era of transition from the old to the new, it is really easy for problems to arise.
I hope I'm overthinking it! Although Widow Liu is a bit of a nag, she's not a bad person.
Bai Si Ni is also a hard-working and responsible person.
Looking at the details of her interactions with Gu Changhe, we can tell that she and Gu Changhe must have feelings for each other.
I hope this couple can keep their original intentions and live happily ever after.
At night, Gu Qingcheng hugged Qiao Qiao and slept on the same bed with Widow Liu.
Listening to Widow Liu's snoring, Gu Qingcheng thought silently and slowly fell asleep.
Early the next morning, there were sounds of water being collected in the yard, roosters crowing, and the jingling of bicycle bells coming from the street.
Gu Qingcheng got up and took Qiao Qiao with her. The mother and daughter simply washed up.
Gu Changhe had already prepared breakfast, including three-grain porridge with three-grain flour, three-grain steamed buns with three-grain flour, and a plate of finely chopped pickled cabbage.
"Xiao Ni, come and eat!"
Gu Changhe greeted Gu Qingcheng with a smile. He even bent down and pinched Qiao Qiao's little face, "Qiao'er, are you hungry?"
Qiao Qiao's eyes were watery, and she looked a little timid and uneasy.
She held Gu Qingcheng's hand tightly, not daring to dodge or speak directly.
She subconsciously looked up at Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng:...Alas, what happened last night really scared the child.
But there is nothing we can do about it.
With grandparents like Old Man Qiao and Mrs. Ma, Qiao Qiao was destined not to have a comfortable and happy childhood.
"Eat! And what do you want to say to your uncle?"
Gu Qingcheng spoke softly to Qiao Qiao.
"Thank you, uncle!"
Qiao Qiao was taught very well by the original owner and Qiao Jianguo. After hearing Gu Qingcheng's advice, she said something sweetly to Gu Changhe.
"Hey! You're welcome! Hey, this kid, how old is he, and he's so sensible?"
Gu Changhe was very surprised to see Qiao Qiao being so well-behaved and cute.
He and Bai Si Ni have only one son, who is seven years old, the age when people hate him.
Where had he ever seen such a soft and tender little girl? He reached out and picked up Qiao Qiao, and put her on the chair next to the eight-immortal table.
Qiao Qiao was so nervous that her face turned pale.
Gu Qingcheng hurriedly followed her with a smile and said, "Don't be afraid, uncle likes you!"
Only then did Qiao Qiao relax.
Only after Widow Liu and Bai Sini came to the table did everyone start eating.
After eating a few bites, Gu Qingcheng was ready to leave.
She took out fifty cents and a pound of food coupons and stuffed them into the hands of Widow Liu.
These days, food rations are based on per capita.
Every household is not rich.
Unless in special circumstances, under normal circumstances, few people go to other people's homes for dinner.
Even if they have to go, those who know the rules and are sensible will bring their own food.
Gu Qingcheng was staying at the Bai family, staying the night and having breakfast.
Even though we are neighbors and have some kind of kinship, we can't really feel at ease.
Money and food coupons must be given.
"Hey, kid, why are you so polite? Isn't that a foreigner?"
Widow Liu tried to refuse but still accepted it.
She nodded secretly in her heart: Gu Xiaoni is a good and well-behaved child.
"Qiao'er's mother, have you eaten?"
Gu Qingcheng was just about to say goodbye to Widow Liu when Fang Yaozhong walked in, shouting.
"A great uncle!"
Gu Qingcheng and Widow Liu both stood up.
Fang Yaozhong is the manager of the front yard, so this is actually nothing.
However, Fang Yaozhong is the technical expert in the machinery factory and the only eighth-level fitter.
A monthly salary of 97 yuan is not much worse than that of the leader.
In the factory, leaders and workers all respect him.
Most of the people in the slum are employees of the machinery factory.
Younger generations like Lu Xinhua and Qiao Jianguo are even more like apprentices.
Some of them were assigned to work under Fang Yaozhong after entering the factory.
Although the relationship between "master and apprentice" these days is not as strict as in the old days, it is not the school of later generations either.
If the master is willing, the apprentice can still learn some unique skills.
In order to learn real skills from Fang Yaozhong, Qiao Jianguo served tea and water to Fang Yaozhong and massaged his waist and back.
During the New Year, even if they were neighbors, Old Man Qiao would ask Qiao Jianguo to give gifts to Fang Yaozhong.
Because of Fang Yaozhong's skills and his position in his factory, he also has special "prestige" in the slum.
Who doesn’t have a child? Whose child doesn’t want to work in a factory as an apprentice?
As long as you learn technology, you can't avoid the "uncle" Fang Yaozhong.
Therefore, even though Bai Sini was not in the factory but in the guesthouse, Widow Liu was still very polite to Fang Yaozhong.
Fang Yaozhong nodded at Widow Liu as a greeting.
Then, he said directly to Gu Qingcheng, "Qiao'er's mother, are you really going back to your mother's home?"
Gu Qingcheng nodded.
Fang Yaozhong sighed but didn't say anything.
Last night, after Gu Qingcheng and her daughter were taken away by Widow Liu, Fang Yaozhong did not leave the Qiao family directly, but had a good talk with old man Qiao.
He wanted to persuade Old Man Qiao not to be so ruthless.
After all, she was his son's widow and his granddaughter, so how could he just kick her out? But Old Man Qiao stiffened his neck and refused to give in.
Fang Yaozhong talked a lot, and Old Man Qiao got a little angry: "This job belongs to our Qiao family. I can give it to whoever I want!"
"Besides, I didn't drive Gu Xiaoni out. She doesn't want to stay in our Qiao family. Am I going to kneel down and beg her?"
Fang Yaozhong: ... This old man, why is he so unreasonable? If you didn't adopt the child and didn't ask your daughter-in-law to marry your nephew, would Gu Xiaoni have gone away to avoid suspicion?
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Oh, I'm not reasonable, I'm just a bunch of idiots! Fang Yaozhong, how good are you?"
"You just don't have any relatives in your hometown. If your damn brother has a son, you can adopt him too!"
Seeing Fang Yaozhong's face full of disapproval, Old Man Qiao, who always had a bad temper, didn't tolerate him at all.
Humph, they all live in the same courtyard, so who doesn't know who? Fang Yaozhong's two daughters did not recruit a son-in-law like the Bai family in the backyard.
He would rather promote his apprentice than pull back his daughter or son-in-law.
What does he want to do?
Isn’t he just like me, wanting a “son” to take care of him in his old age?
In the past, it was because of Qiao Jianguo that old man Qiao wanted his son to study technology at Fang Yao Middle School.
Old man Qiao was very polite to Fang Yaozhong and even seemed to be trying to please him.
But now that his son is dead, Old Man Qiao is unwilling to endure it! Fang Yaozhong was hit directly in the face and was a little embarrassed for a while.
In the slum, he is the uncle in charge.
When he went to the machinery factory, he was a master craftsman who even his leaders gave him some courtesy.
When had he been bullied like this? But Fang Yaozhong couldn't get angry.
Qiao Jianguo died to save himself.
No matter how much of a bastard Old Man Qiao is, he is still Qiao Jianguo’s biological father.
If Fang Yaozhong started to argue with old man Qiao, outsiders would definitely call him ungrateful and ungrateful! Damn it!
There’s really nothing we can do about the Qiao family’s mess!
With a flick of his sleeves, Fang Yaozhong left the Qiao family.
Coming to the yard and letting the night breeze blow, Fang Yaozhong calmed down again.
Don't be angry!
Gu Xiaoni, an orphan and her widowed mother, was left behind by Qiao Jianguo.
Alas, if someone saves you, you must repay them.
Fang Yaozhong is valued by people in the street and the factory, not only because of his skills, but also because he is a kind person.
After standing in the yard and thinking about it, Fang Yaozhong came up with an idea.
He began knocking on doors.
"This is thirty-nine yuan, all donated by neighbors in the compound."
"As for you, if you really go back to your parents' home, just take this money."
Fang Yaozhong stuffed a stack of scattered banknotes into Gu Qingcheng's hand.
He didn't say that he took 15 yuan out of the 39 yuan.
In order not to be outdone by Fang Yaozhong, Zhu Jinshui, the second uncle in the backyard, also took ten yuan.
The remaining money was collected from other neighbors, one dollar or eighty cents at a time.
Except for Widow Liu and the Qiao family, the neighbors in the front and back courtyards all donated money.
"this--"
Gu Qingcheng was somewhat moved.
I also seemed to experience the kindness and simplicity unique to this era.
"Take it! Don't refuse! After all, we are neighbors living in the same yard. We all grew up watching Jianguo!"
In order to prevent Gu Qingcheng from refusing, Fang Yaozhong stuffed the money into her hands and left.
"Oh! I don't know about this!"
"How about this, Qiao'er's mother, you can take this fifty cents back."
Widow Liu felt a little uncomfortable. She said "Qiao'er's mother" but was actually shouting at Fang Yaozhong's back.
Fang Yaozhong paused for a moment, without looking back, but continued walking towards the front yard.
"No way! Auntie, we are not only neighbors, but also relatives."
Gu Qingcheng did not take the fifty cents that Widow Liu pushed back. She smiled and said, "I was able to marry Jianguo because of Brother Changhe and you. I will always remember this kindness."
"Okay, it's getting late, and I'm in a hurry to go home, so I won't tell you first."
"We'll talk later!"
As Gu Qingcheng spoke, he stuffed the money into his trouser pocket.
She pulled Qiao Qiao up and said goodbye to Widow Liu.
"Hey! Let's talk later!"
Widow Liu didn't think much about it and just thought that "goodbye" was just something Gu Qingcheng said casually.
"Let me take you there!"
Widow Liu tiptoed out of the house enthusiastically with Gu Qingcheng and her daughter.
As soon as I arrived in the yard, a young man came out from the west wing.
"Hey! Huazi, you're awake? You're fine now, you can even get out of bed!"
Widow Liu had sharp eyes and when she saw the familiar figure, she immediately greeted him.
As soon as she finished speaking, Widow Liu felt a little regretful.
She subconsciously looked at Gu Qingcheng——
These two are the Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing mentioned by Ma!
