Chapter 201: Eating melons in period literature (Thirteen)
The Su sisters once again vividly interpreted the phrase "Beauty is justice".
Gu Qingcheng's beauty was so striking that Su Anqi, who was always a little proud, forgot about her disgust and started chasing after Gu Qingcheng like a little fangirl.
"Sister Gu, it turns out that you are also from Gujia Village."
"My grandfather was sent to Gujia Village. My sister and I have visited him every weekend for the past two or three years, but we have never seen you!"
Su Anqi lay on the back of the car seat and chatted eagerly with Gu Qingcheng.
"I married and moved to the city four years ago. Except for the New Year holidays, I rarely go back to my parents' home."
Gu Qingcheng said this, but in her heart she was guessing the identities of the Su sisters.
Grandfather? Could it be the great doctor Wei from the Chinese medicine hospital?
His family has inherited medical skills from generation to generation, and I heard that one of his ancestors was an imperial physician.
Although Dr. Wei is a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, he once studied abroad in Japan when he was young.
Of course, he would go to Gujia Village because of this experience.
In addition to his medical skills, Dr. Wei also has a powerful in-law - the Su family! They are well-known capitalists in the city.
It is said that the predecessor of the Five Star Machinery Factory was the Su family's locomotive manufacturing plant.
The Su family is very patriotic.
Of his five sons, three died on the battlefield.
One of them is missing, and the remaining one, Su Zhenhua, studied in Russia in his early years and is a very capable engineer.
After returning to China, he donated his property to the country and devoted himself to the development of the machinery manufacturing industry.
Su Zhenhua is a person who has made great contributions to the country.
Therefore, Dr. Wei was not implicated in the Su family.
The two granddaughters of the Su family can still visit their grandfather regularly.
"Are you Su Gong's daughters?"
Gu Qingcheng perfectly maintains the original owner's personality.
The original owner, besides being an ignorant and uneducated housewife from the countryside, was also a smart and straightforward person.
Su Anqi and Su Anna had already said their names, and with the addition of Dr. Wei, if she still couldn't "guess" it, she would be too stupid.
It doesn't fit the original owner's personality either.
"Sister Gu, do you know my dad?"
Su Anqi was a little excited.
If she knows my dad, does that mean she is an "acquaintance"? Will I be able to see such a beautiful big sister again in the future?
"My husband was an employee of the Five Star Machinery Factory. When he was alive, he mentioned Su Gong to me."
Gu Qingcheng said lightly.
However, Su Anqi and Su Anna heard the words "while alive".
Then, they discovered that Gu Qingcheng had a small white flower on her temples.
“…”
Su Anqi opened her mouth, wanting to say something apologetic and comforting.
But, saying “my condolences” is just scratching the surface.
Su Anna was also a little silent.
Seeing that the sisters stopped talking and looked apologetic and pitying.
Gu Qingcheng smiled, "It's all over! He died saving people, he is a hero!"
Gu Qingcheng's tone was calm, yet it was filled with deep pride and nostalgia.
Looking at Gu Qingcheng like this, the Su sisters felt that she was even more beautiful.
It was as if a ray of light appeared behind Gu Qingcheng.
The Su sisters felt that Gu Qingcheng was not only beautiful, but she also had a feeling that they could not explain.
Anyway, they wanted to be closer to her.
The long-distance bus slowly bumped along the country dirt road for half an hour before finally arriving at a town.
This place is some distance away from Gujia Village.
Gu Qingcheng found a carriage according to the original owner's memory and negotiated the price in her hometown dialect.
The Su sisters and Gu Qingcheng and her daughter got in the car together, and after shaking for nearly a quarter of an hour, they finally arrived at Gujia Village.
"My house is the third one on East Street. After you've seen Grandfather, you can come over and sit down at my house!"
Gu Qingcheng said goodbye to the Su sisters warmly.
"No need for that! We'll come look for you when we get back to the city!"
On the way, while chatting, the Su sisters already knew that Gu Qingcheng was an employee of the machinery factory.
Whether she rents a house or applies for a single dormitory in the factory, she will live near the machinery factory.
No need to worry about not being able to find someone! "Okay! Be careful!"
Gu Qingcheng waved her hand and gave a reminder.
"Yeah, Sister Gu, you should also take care of your health!"
After saying that, the Su sisters picked up their net bags and went to another road.
"Hey! Isn't this Xiaoni? Why are you back?"
“…”
When this question was asked, the old men and women chatting under the locust tree at the entrance of the village fell silent for a moment.
Gu Xiaoni's husband died. A month ago, someone came to the Gu family to report the death.
The old couple and the eldest son of the Gu family went to the city specially to attend their son-in-law's funeral.
Gu Qingcheng, with a white flower on her hair and a black cloth on her arm, was holding her daughter and a bag...
Looking back at his hometown village, what else could it be for? "Your mother-in-law, she can't tolerate you?"
Someone in the crowd couldn't help but break the awkward silence.
She spoke tactfully and didn't say anything directly like "You were kicked out of your in-laws' house."
"My parents-in-law adopted their nephew, so it was difficult for me to stay in the Qiao family, so I moved out!"
Gu Qingcheng replied indifferently.
"Oh, your in-laws are so unkind! Your husband's 57th birthday hasn't even come yet, how could they--"
The orphans and widows were driven out.
Well, actually, such examples are not uncommon in rural areas.
Don't talk about anything.
Some families kick out their daughter-in-law and granddaughter out of the house right after their son is buried.
However, everyone was thinking, the Qiao family is from the city, why are they acting like the scoundrels from the countryside? "Why can't they just be kicked out? Humph, a hen that doesn't lay eggs, after four or five years of marriage, can't even give birth to a son!"
There are kind people among the people, and there are also mean people.
"If it were me, I would also kick the money-loser out of the house. What's wrong with an adopted son? He's still my nephew!"
The funniest thing is that the person who said this was not a man, but a woman.
A hen that opens its mouth but does not lay eggs, a hen that keeps its mouth shut but loses money, and a hen that keeps its mouth shut but still talks about its son and nephew.
It seemed as if her whole life was spent on continuing the family line for her husband's family.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Gu Qingcheng was too lazy to pay attention to such people.
"Aunts and sisters-in-law, I have something else to do, so I won't talk to you first. We can talk later!"
As Gu Qingcheng spoke, she deliberately shook the net bag in her hand forward.
Sure enough, everyone's attention was instantly attracted to the net bag.
"Huh? Xiaoni brought a lot of things!"
"There are snacks, candies, and wine! Tsk, tsk, marrying in the city is different."
"What's the difference? Didn't he still get kicked out?"
"So what if they kicked her out? When she goes back to her parents' home, at least she knows to bring something with her! Unlike some people, when they go back to their parents' home, they just carry their heads on their shoulders!"
"Third sister-in-law, who are you talking about so sarcastically?"
"Oh my, why are you so anxious? I didn't mention anyone by name. Why do you insist on picking up the blame and blaming me?"
A group of onlookers, as they were talking, began to blame the people around them, which triggered a new round of verbal battle.
Gu Xiaoni's topic was thrown aside.
Gu Qingcheng put all this behind her and went straight to the Gu family.
The Gu couple were both capable people. After saving for decades, they built five large tiled houses.
The yard is also very large, and it looks quite impressive when viewed from the outside.
Gu's father was the accountant of the production team, and Gu's mother had the skill of midwifery inherited from her ancestors.
The couple had three sons and one daughter.
Gu Xiaoni is the third child and the only daughter.
The Gu family had a better life and had three sons, so they were more pampered to their daughter.
Of course, this "pampering" is also relative.
It is great that he did not abandon her, did not mistreat her, and raised his daughter to be clean and beautiful.
When Gu Xiaoni got married, the Gu couple accepted the betrothal gift and returned half of it, which made them even more praised by the villagers and people around them.
"Dad! Mom! I'm back!"
Gu Qingcheng came to the door and shouted first.
Then he pulled Qiao Qiao into the house.
"Xiao Ni? Qiao'er? Why are you two back? Did that old hag from the Qiao family bully you?"
The first person to come out to greet them was not Father Gu or Mother Gu, but Sister-in-law Gu who stayed at home because of her pregnancy.
"I came back to handle the paperwork! I got a job at the machinery factory and need to transfer my household registration!"
Gu Qingcheng did not hide anything but stated her purpose directly.
She didn't want to do the "test" thing! There was no need!
Human hearts are so complicated, they can’t stand the test.
The ancients said, "Judge by actions, not by heart," and there is also a saying, "Poverty breeds evil schemes, while wealth breeds consciences."
Whether a person's heart is good or bad cannot be determined based on a single test.
As a former superior, Gu Qingcheng is familiar with people's hearts, but he will not test them deliberately.
There is no absolute good or bad, there is a gray area between black and white.
For someone who is involved in government affairs, she only cares about interests. What she wants is for you, for me, and for everyone!
The surface is so beautiful, but who cares about the "sincerity" inside?
Sure enough, when Mrs. Gu heard that her sister-in-law was not being driven back to her parents' home but was coming to move her household registration, she was immediately delighted.
"Xiao Ni, you took over Jianguo's job and became a worker in the machinery factory?"
Oh, there is smoke coming out of the old Gu family’s ancestral tomb.
There is actually someone who eats commercial grain!
Mrs. Gu was delighted and even felt inexplicably excited.
When my sister-in-law becomes successful, she will definitely help her brothers from her mother's side.
"Jianguo's job was given to someone else, and I found a way to get into the machinery factory on my own!"
"... Let's talk about the details after mom and dad come back!"
Gu Qingcheng will not gloss over the truth.
She would tell her family about all the bad things that the old couple of the Qiao family did.
"Okay! Okay! You go sit inside first, I'll go to the field and call mom and dad!"
Mrs. Gu was very happy. She took off her apron and walked out with her big belly.
As soon as I went out, I ran into a neighbor who was peeking in.
Before the man could ask, Mrs. Gu shouted in a loud voice, "Fifth sister-in-law, do you also know that my Xiao Ni is back?"
"Oh my, our little girl is so promising, she will be a worker soon!"
The person called Fifth Sister-in-law: …
Huh? Didn't they say that Gu Xiaoni's husband died and she was driven back by her in-laws? How did she suddenly become a worker in the city? What's going on? Before the fifth sister-in-law could react, the eldest sister-in-law of Gu rushed out.
She walked and shouted, and in less than half a day, the entire production team knew the good news about the Gu family...
