Chapter 203: Eating Melon in the Literature of the Time (XV)
Gu Qingcheng stayed in the Gu family for three days, completed the formalities, and drew a big and delicious cake for her family. Then she took a bunch of things and returned to the city with Qiao Qiao.
"Xiao Ni, you really don't want to leave Qiao'er at home?"
"Yes! You are pregnant and have to work, plus you have a child, you are simply too busy to handle it."
"Leave Qiao'er at home first. Your sister-in-law, brothers and sisters-in-law and I can help you look after her!"
The Gu family sent Gu Qingcheng and her daughter to find the production team's carriage.
On the way, Gu's mother, Mrs. Gu and several other women were still talking and persuading him.
Gu Qingcheng certainly knew that leaving Qiao Qiao in the Gu family was the best arrangement.
For one thing, she can reduce some of the burden.
Secondly, with the bait she threw out, the Gu family did not dare to treat Qiao Qiao harshly.
But Gu Qingcheng knew better than anyone that Qiao Qiao had just experienced the loss of her father, and she and her mother were kicked out of the house by her grandparents, which was a time when children were most fearful and uneasy.
In the past few days, Gu Qingcheng clearly felt that Qiao Qiao was becoming more and more attached to her.
When she slept, her little hands tightly grasped her hair, fearing that her only relative would abandon her.
Don't think that your child is still young and doesn't understand anything.
In fact, they have the most direct and keen feelings.
Moreover, the shadows left behind in childhood will accompany the child throughout his life.
Gu Qingcheng has also been a mother, and she has a unique softness in her heart.
It’s not like there are no other ways. With a little effort, there is a solution that satisfies both sides.
In addition to feeling distressed and sympathetic towards Qiao Qiao, Gu Qingcheng also has plans of her own.
And Qiao Qiao is also part of the plan.
Ahem, Gu Qingcheng admitted that she was indeed a person who would not do anything without benefits.
Everything we do has a necessary reason! "It's okay, there is a red-raising class in the factory."
"It's one dollar a month, there's a special teacher watching over you, and there are three meals a day."
"When Jianguo was alive, he said he wanted to send Qiao Qiao to the Red Education Class—"
But Ma disagreed.
In Ma's opinion, one dollar is still money, and there is someone at home to take care of the child, so why send the child to someone else to take care of him?
Now that Gu Qingcheng has come and left the Qiao family, it is up to Gu Qingcheng to make the decision regarding Qiao Qiao's affairs.
"Oh, and meals are provided! That's great!"
Like Ma, Gu's mother also cares about money.
However, now her relationship with her daughter is no longer just that of mother and daughter. She also wants Gu Qingcheng to help her brothers from her mother's side.
When speaking, he was a little cautious.
"Of course! During the difficult years in the past two years, all the factory workers were hungry, but the children in the Yuhong class could still eat half full."
Gu Qingcheng was not trying to fool Mother Gu when she said this.
This is the fact she learned from the original owner's memory.
The children in the Yuhong class are all from the machinery factory.
Some children’s parents and grandparents are leaders.
Coupled with the Chinese people's traditional respect for the elderly and love for the young, everyone has the perception that "even if the adults suffer, the children should not suffer."
Therefore, the food in the Yuhong class is still very good.
"Really! If that's the case, then the dollar is well spent!"
Mrs. Gu was so smart that she figured out the account in a blink of an eye.
This is not the factory using the Red Education Class to make money from employees, but a benefit for employees.
Oh my, it’s better to be a worker.
Being a worker not only means having a stable job, but also guarantees for your whole life from birth to old age, sickness to death.
Mrs. Gu became more and more anxious. Her husband also wanted to be a worker, and her children also wanted to enjoy such good benefits!
"Xiao Ni, you brought so many things, can you do it by yourself?"
"Or, let your eldest brother send it to you."
"...Oh? You can lift it? Haha, I forgot you're so strong!"
"By the way, if you finish these dishes, tell your family and I'll ask your eldest brother to deliver them to you!"
Delivering food is not important, what is important is to get to know each other! This kind of relationship is slowly deepened by the interaction between you and me.
Brothers and sisters should also move around more.
Mrs. Gu's little abacus was clacking in her mind!
Mrs. Gu was not to be outdone, "Yes! It just so happens that our production team is almost done with planting corn, so it's time to take some time off."
"When the time comes, let your second brother do the work for you!"
Although Gu Lao Si had been taken care of by Gu Qingcheng, Gu Si's wife still did not dare to slack off——
What is the point of studying medicine? The key is that after completing the study, you still need to go to a hospital in the city for training.
However, the training places still depend on the promising "Gu Xiaoni".
"And my fourth child, although he is not in good health, he is better than outsiders."
Several sisters-in-law surrounded Gu Qingcheng, warm and considerate.
The scene of the blind date between the sister-in-law and the aunt simply blinded the eyes of all the neighbors in Gujia Village.
"Oh, the Gu family has a really good family tradition. The sisters-in-law are so kind to their married sisters-in-law!"
"Humph, if my sister-in-law were a worker in the city, I would treat her well!"
The neighbors expressed either envy or jealousy.
Amid the reluctance of the Gu family and the discussions of the onlookers, Gu Qingcheng took Qiao Qiao on the carriage.
The carriage rocked to the town, and then we took the car back to the city.
It took an hour on the road, and when Gu Qingcheng stood outside the gate of the machinery factory, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.
"Sister Gu! Sister Gu!"
Just as Gu Qingcheng was about to take Qiao Qiao to the factory to handle the formalities, she heard a familiar female voice approaching from afar.
She turned around and saw Su Anqi running towards her like a butterfly from the small western-style building on the east side of the machinery factory.
"Are you back from your hometown?"
"I just happened to see you at home, so I thought I'd come down and say hello!"
Su Anqi's face turned red as she ran, and her beautiful almond eyes were full of little stars.
Hehe, that’s great, I finally caught the beauty, oh no, it’s Sister Gu.
Her house is right next to the machinery factory and is a small three-story Western-style building.
Su Anqi's bedroom is on the second floor. Standing on the balcony outside the bedroom, she can just see the entrance of the machinery factory and the surrounding street scenes.
After breakfast in the morning, she took a book and read it on the balcony.
As soon as Gu Qingcheng and her daughter appeared, Su Anqi noticed them with her sharp eyes.
So, there was the scene of her running wildly.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"That's where you live!"
Gu Qingcheng naturally did not ignore the small western-style building where Su Anqi ran out.
"Uh-huh!"
Su Anqi nodded and continued to admire the beauty.
Oh my, it’s so beautiful!
How could there be such a beautiful woman as Sister Gu in this world? She didn’t have her eyebrows trimmed or her lips painted, but she was still so delicate and bright.
From her facial features to her figure to her temperament, everything is so perfect.
One point more is too much, one point less is too little, everything is just right! When Su Anqi saw Gu Qingcheng, she realized that the ancients were not exaggerating.
The stunning beauty described in ancient poetry does exist, and the enchanting beauties who brought disaster to the country and the people should also have such a "beauty".
Such a beautiful woman, just looking at her for a few more seconds can make people feel happy.
"Sister Gu, come and complete the factory entry procedures!"
"yes."
"Sister Gu, this may be offensive, but I still want to ask you, do you have a place to live?"
Su Anqi was a little cautious when she said this.
I’m afraid of offending the beauty.
"...Not yet! The dormitory in the factory should be quite tight."
Gu Qingcheng did not feel offended. After two encounters, Gu Qingcheng already had a certain understanding of Su Anqi.
Born into a wealthy family and brought up with good education.
There is also a gentle and tolerant sister above.
Su Anqi was raised to be a little "spoiled".
She is simple, kind, straightforward and lively.
Sometimes I am a bit outspoken.
If she doesn't like something, she won't hide it but will express it directly.
For example, last time in the car, Su Anqi saw Gu Qingcheng pretending and thought it was funny, so she really laughed.
To put it nicely, such people are naive; to put it bluntly, they have low emotional intelligence and do not understand the ways of the world.
However, it's not a big problem.
Once she entered society and suffered some beatings, she realized what it meant to "grow up."
"I thought, when I go to handle the factory entry procedures, I will ask the leader to help me and give me a letter of introduction. I will stay in the guesthouse for a few days first."
Gu Qingcheng did not completely ignore it.
As a person who thinks three steps ahead, the moment she left the Qiao family, she had already thought about what to do next.
Housing is a problem, but it is not unsolvable.
She had just joined the factory, so she certainly couldn't get housing from the machinery factory. She couldn't get either a single dormitory or a separate room.
But, you can rent it!
With so many tenements around, you can always rent a room or two.
While looking for a house, Gu Qingcheng can pay to stay in a guesthouse.
If the guesthouse doesn't work, then I'll go to Widow Liu's place for a few days.
Finally, there is Fang Yaozhong to support him - Qiao Jianguo died to save Fang Yaozhong, and the kind-hearted Fang Yaozhong always feels guilty about it.
This can be seen from the fact that he took the initiative to call on the neighbors in the compound to donate money to Gu Xiaoni.
Fang Yaozhong has a lot of experience in both the slum and the machinery factory, and has a certain network of contacts.
It should be possible to ask him to help find a house.
The troublemaker squatting in the small dark room silently counted: one, two, three... Tsk tsk, this guy thought of three ways to deal with it in one breath.
He is indeed a calculating old fox!
However, Huoshui also "desperately" discovered that Gu Qingcheng had a better choice -
"Sister Gu, it's not convenient to live in a guesthouse. I have a small courtyard at home that's empty. If you don't mind, you can live there!"
Su Anqi pointed in the direction of the small western-style building while speaking, "Look, it's right next to our house. The yard is not big, but it's very clean, and the key is that it has its own door and yard."
"Really? Is this okay?"
Gu Qingcheng was moved.
A separate house is so tempting.
"What's wrong with that? Originally, this yard was lent to the factory to house experts, but——"
The expert left three or four months ago.
The yard became empty.
The factory was busy arranging the equipment that the expert had helped to get before he left, and had forgotten about the Su family's yard.
In fact, even if I remembered, I couldn't do anything because the house belonged to the Su family and was not a public asset of the machinery factory...
