Chapter 648: The Male Leads a Confidant (Part 8)
The green train swayed for a day and a night before finally arriving in the capital.
Gu Qingcheng had to be thankful that it was April, a month that was neither too hot nor too cold.
If it is summer, wow, the environment is so stuffy and crowded, with the smell of foot odor, sweat, fart, etc. mixed together. If people stay there for a day and a night, they will be suffocated or killed by the heat, or at least get marinated.
The world that just ended was so noble and comfortable, and the current life is so difficult and poor.
That is to say, Her Majesty the Queen is mentally strong and adaptable, so she didn't -
Ugh, still feeling uncomfortable.
The Gu family was also in a lot of trouble, but when the train arrived at the station in the capital, Gu's father and mother, Gu's second brother, Gu's third sister and Gu's youngest brother all became excited instantly.
“We’re here! We’re here!”
"Oh, this is the capital city!"
Although they were tired, everyone in the Gu family was very happy.
They carried large and small bags, pulled their younger siblings, and followed their eldest brother (son), and squeezed out of the carriage with difficulty.
"Yes! This is the capital city!"
As the pillar of the family, Gu Qingcheng must shoulder all responsibilities.
She supported her parents, called out to her younger siblings, and led the whole family onto the bus.
"Mom! Mom! This road is so wide!"
"Dad! Bicycles! So many bicycles!"
"Dad! Mom! That must be the Gate of Heaven, oh my, it's so spectacular!"
The three little ones in the Gu family shouted loudly with excitement, and they were quite lively on the bus.
Gu's father and mother were also excited.
However, as country people who had just arrived in the capital, they were instinctively inferior.
They are very afraid of seeing the disdainful and mocking eyes of people around them.
I was also afraid that my words and actions would bring shame to my son.
"Stop making noise! This is the capital!"
"You think you're in the village, shouting at the top of your lungs!"
Gu's mother's original intention was to ask her children to stop shouting so as to avoid being laughed at.
As a result, Mother Gu, who was used to having a loud voice, roared like a lion as soon as she opened her mouth.
The passengers on the bus turned their heads and looked at him strangely.
Of course, people's tolerance is still relatively high these days.
We won't always bring up the issue of quality, as everyone has a certain degree of empathy.
After all, the country was founded only a few years ago, and many people had just moved to the city from the countryside, not even counting three generations ago.
In the countryside, people living in the mountains and fields rely on "shouting".
I really don't mean to have a loud voice, it's just a habit.
Of course, shouting so loudly in public and causing a certain impact on others is wrong after all.
Gu Qingcheng smiled and said to his father, mother, brothers and sisters, "Shh! Don't be too loud when you speak."
"But everyone was happy when they first came to the capital."
"Just like when I first came to Beijing to study at university, I was very curious about the square and the palace."
"As long as it doesn't affect others, we can do whatever makes us happy!"
Gu Qingcheng did not show any disgust, but only explained patiently.
When Mr. and Mrs. Gu saw their son's attitude, their tension was relieved.
The three little ones of the Gu family paid attention to different points——
Second brother Gu: "Brother, we will keep our voices down."
Gu Sanmei: "Brother, did you also shout when you first came to the capital?"
Brother Gu: "Brother, where is the palace?"
Although the three little ones had different focuses, they all listened to Gu Qingcheng's words and did not shout when asking questions.
Gu Qingcheng continued to answer patiently one by one.
The passengers on the bus originally thought that they were a group of country bumpkins who came to the city to beg for money.
However, the tall, handsome and upright Gu Qingcheng stood out like a crane among chickens and instantly attracted everyone's attention.
A young man of about twenty-two or twenty-three years old, wearing a dark blue Mao suit with a pen in his jacket pocket.
You can tell at first glance that he is a cultured person.
The key point is that he is wearing the Mizuki school badge on his chest! Oh, he is still a top student.
Looking at the group of family members around him who obviously came from the countryside, it is not difficult to imagine that this young man is a golden phoenix that flew out from the mountain nest.
This is quite difficult.
The young man himself must be very good.
Since ancient times, Chinese people have subconsciously looked up to scholars, especially those from poor families.
Most of the people on the bus are ordinary workers and common people.
They instinctively envy and admire these promising young people who have struggled to rise from the bottom.
In particular, Gu Qingcheng's attitude towards her family made many older people like her.
This child is good!
He did not despise his parents and siblings just because he had escaped from the farming family.
As a native of Beijing, even if he is just an ordinary citizen, he has a lot of experience.
In recent years, with the establishment of the country, people from all over the country and all corners of the world have gathered in the capital.
As a result, the people of the capital city saw many kinds of human life.
Dogs really don’t dislike a poor family;
However, the child may not necessarily dislike his mother’s ugliness.
Especially for college students like Gu Qingcheng who were admitted to Beijing from rural areas, even if they are not ungrateful, sometimes they will feel disgusted with their parents for bringing shame to them.
Shame, vanity, etc. are human instincts.
The only difference is probably that some people can overcome it while others are overwhelmed by their instincts.
“Do not be happy with things, do not be sad with yourself.” To be able to do this, one must either really see through everything or be strong enough in heart.
Looking at Gu Qingcheng, he is only in his twenties and has not yet reached the age of seeing through everything, so he is the latter.
“This guy is good!”
"Yeah, she's good looking and has an even better character!"
"He has a righteous look on his face, and he is patient and considerate towards his parents and relatives!"
The passengers sitting in the back seat watched with interest.
Gu Qingcheng didn’t know that her family had become a sight to behold in the eyes of others.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Even if I knew, it wouldn't matter.
Not afraid of being laughed at for being narcissistic, with this appearance, he is bound to become the focus of attention of people around him.
There may not be a term called "face-chasers" in this era, but the pursuit of beautiful things has always existed.
At most, people of this era are more reserved and introverted.
But, if you see a guy who is more handsome than a movie star, it’s okay to secretly look at him a few more times.
With Gu Qingcheng's comfort, the Gu family members no longer cried out loudly, nor did they feel inferior or cowardly due to their status.
They began to imitate Gu Qingcheng, trying their best to look "graceful and elegant"! "Son, where are we going to stay? Or stay in a guesthouse?"
After all, Mother Gu is the head of the Gu family. After the initial excitement, she began to worry about the family's accommodation problems.
As a former "expert's family member", Gu's mother once enjoyed the treatment of living in a guesthouse.
However, Gu's mother also knew that her son had been in the county before and had made contributions to the diesel engine factory.
This time it's different.
They arrived in the capital.
In Beijing, my son is just an ordinary college student and he shouldn't receive those treatments.
"Let's go to the First Hotel!"
Gu Qingcheng had planned it long ago. Before coming to Beijing, she called her roommate and asked him to help her book a room.
This was the golden age of public-private partnership. In addition to the absolutely state-owned restaurants and hotels, there were also some more commercial institutions that had just completed the transition.
As long as you have a letter of introduction and money, you can stay in the hotel.
Relatively speaking, it was much more relaxed than the following 1960s.
Gu Qingcheng has a letter of introduction issued by the village, which can prove that the Gu family is not blind migrants.
She still had a stack of money, enough for Gu's father and mother to stay in a hotel comfortably and have a good time in the capital for a few days.
"First Hotel?"
Mother Gu thought it was very high-end, so she subconsciously asked, "Is it expensive?"
"How about we go to your dormitory and squeeze in?"
Not to mention this era, even in the future, in order to save accommodation fees, parents will make do with their children's dormitories.
My roommates basically understood and acquiesced.
When Gu's mother was chatting with her son, she had heard him mention a similar situation.
Gu Qingcheng: ...
Other parents can squeeze into the dormitory because there are only one or two of them.
And their family had a whole family coming.
How can a family of five, including boys and girls, squeeze in? Of course, if you think of a way, it can be done.
Find a classmate (or fellow villager) from the girls’ dormitory and move Gu’s mother and Gu’s third sister in there.
He then discussed with his classmates who lived next door to his dormitory and decided to put Gu's father, his second brother Gu, his youngest brother Gu and others into two separate dormitories.
However, Gu Qingcheng brought her family here to let them have fun and build up their confidence.
But "budget travel" will never be comfortable.
For people who already have low self-esteem, being too compromising will make them even more inferior.
"Mom! We have money!"
"Besides, my son brought you here just to let you have some fun!"
"When you return to your hometown, you can openly tell your fellow villagers what the hotels in Beijing are like."
Instead of telling others how cautious and timid they are when squeezing into a dormitory with other students.
"...Okay! Mommy listens to you!"
I have to say, the picture that Gu Qingcheng described for Gu's mother was so beautiful.
Mother Gu could already imagine that when she returned home, she could brag to everyone—
The roads in the capital are very wide and there are many bicycles in the capital.
The hotels in Beijing are first-rate!
Even the most aggressive and difficult-to-talk-to mother Gu was persuaded. Father Gu, who was an honest man to begin with, and the three little ones had no objections.
The family even began to wonder what a hotel would look like! …
"Hongmei, you may not know yet, Gu Qingcheng has brought all his family members here."
"Oh, I hate these country folks. Why do they come to the capital for no reason?"
"Yes! Relatives from my father's hometown always come here, either to visit the square or to see a doctor. Every time they come, they stay at my house."
"The house is already full, and with so many people coming, it's simply a disaster."
"That's right! The point is that those country folks don't know anything and don't like to be clean."
"...Hongmei, Gu Qingcheng is going too far. He has brought his entire family here before we're even engaged!"
"Yeah! What are they going to do? Do they think they have made a good relative, so the whole family is coming to take advantage of them?"
