Chapter 178 Picnic

Shen Jiale had an impression of Qin Guisheng.

He was also an educated youth who went to the countryside.

In his previous life, he abandoned his wife and children after he was admitted to university, and married someone else after graduation. His

wife from the countryside came to him with the child, but he still refused to acknowledge him, saying that the child was not his. To prove her innocence, his wife from the countryside drank pesticide and committed suicide. If she had not been rescued in time, she would have died.

In the end, his wife from the countryside returned to her hometown in despair.

Many educated youth who went to the countryside married local people out of necessity, and many of them abandoned their spouses from the countryside when they had the opportunity to return to the city.

Shen Jiale did not want to comment on other people's lives, nor did he like others to dictate his own life.

Back home, after dinner, Gu Siyuan came back.

Lu Mingfeng said, "I told you to bring the prepared meal over, but you refused and even spent extra money to buy it at the hotel."

Gu Siyuan smiled and said, "My brother-in-law has to take care of four children at home every day. It's already very hard. How can I add more workload to you? I think Grandpa is fine now and I feel much better. I don't have to go to Gu's house every day in the future."

During the chat, Gu Siyuan mentioned that many classmates organized mountain climbing on weekends and asked Shen Jiale if he wanted to go.

Shen Jiale said that he was not familiar with those people and wanted to stay at home to play with the children.

Gu Siyuan suggested that the whole family go camping together.

The children were very excited and said they wanted to bring their two cousins ​​from their uncle's family.

Shen Jiale took time to go back to her mother's house to ask for their opinions. Dana thought it would be nice to take the children out to play, so she agreed.

Shen Qingshan and He Guizhen were worried that there were too many children to look after, so they wanted to go with them.

So, on weekends, Shen Jiale brought the prepared ingredients, fruits, charcoal, grills, plastic sheets and other picnic supplies, and went hiking with his family.

...

There were so many people, so Shen Qingshan specifically greeted the factory manager and asked the factory driver to drive everyone to the foot of the mountain. He paid for the gas and bought two packs of cigarettes for the driver.

The driver was very happy and agreed to pick them up at the time of return.

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, the men moved the things down, and the children ran happily at the foot of the mountain.

People from the school also came one after another.

Qin Guisheng saw Shen Jiale and ran over to ask, "Shen Jiale, didn't you say you couldn't come? Have you thought it through?"

Shen Jiale said indifferently, "It was a temporary decision."

Qin Guisheng invited enthusiastically, "Then come with us, we have prepared a lot of food."

The female classmate next to him said, "We have all paid, and if Shen Jiale wants to join us, he has to pay too."

Shen Jiale said, "No, we are a family."

Qin Guisheng said in surprise, "You can't have fun if you bring your children with you when you go out to play."

Shen Jiale didn't want to say more to him, so he joined the children's running team.

Qin Guisheng's group of people arrived, and came over to invite Shen Jiale and others to go up the mountain together.

He Guizhen came over and said, "There are many children in the family, and they are young. We adults just need to watch them play at the foot of the mountain."

Qin Guisheng asked Shen Jiale, "Who is this?"

Shen Jiale said, "My mother."

Qin Guisheng smiled and said, "Hello, Auntie. I am Shen Jiale's classmate. From your accent, are you a local from Beijing?"

He Guizhen nodded and said yes.

Qin Guisheng was surprised. He always thought that Shen Jiale was from another city, but he didn't expect that he was a local.

Shen Jiale didn't want to talk to him, so he took the children to find other people.

Qin Guisheng took the opportunity to ask He Guizhen who were the people who came together.

He Guizhen said that she came to play with her sons and daughters.

Seeing He Guizhen pointed to the tallest Lu Mingfeng and said he was her son-in-law.

Qin Guisheng asked again what Lu Mingfeng did. He Guizhen initially said a few more words because he was her daughter's classmate, but when she saw that he was always asking about her family's affairs, she was unwilling to say more.

...

The children were tired from running, so they returned to the plastic sheet to rest and eat something.

Qin Guisheng came again.

This time, he went directly to talk to Lu Mingfeng who was picking branches.

Qin Guisheng asked, "Are you used to Beijing now?"

Lu Mingfeng said, "There's nothing I'm not used to. When Jiale didn't take the college entrance exam, we came to Beijing once a year, so we're not unfamiliar with Beijing."

"Have you taken the college entrance exam?"

Lu Mingfeng shook his head, "I didn't go to school much."

"Where do you work?"

"I don't work. I have many children at home and need someone to take care of them."

"If you don't work, you have so many children. Is it enough to rely on Shen Jiale's subsidy to cover your living expenses?"

"I used to work in my hometown. We have some savings, which is enough."

"As a man, you should take the initiative to shoulder the responsibility of the family, and you can't put the burden of life on a woman."

Lu Mingfeng was a little annoyed: "I said we have savings, didn't you understand? Our family life is not as stressful as you think."

Qin Guisheng said: "No matter how much savings there are, they will run out one day."

Lu Mingfeng looked at him unhappily: "If you run out, can you lend us some?"

Qin Guisheng was afraid that Lu Mingfeng would really ask him to borrow money, so he quickly left with an excuse that he had something to do.

Lu Mingfeng came back and told everyone about Qin Guisheng.

Shen Jiale said, "Don't pay attention to this kind of person. He is just full and is asking questions without knowing the person."

Qin Guisheng's incident did not affect everyone's mood. Shen Jiale took out the various ingredients he had prepared at home and put them on the grill to grill.

It was the first time for everyone to grill in the wild, and Shen Jiale prepared a rich variety of ingredients, so they enjoyed the food very much.

When the students on the mountain smelled the aroma of the barbecue, the biscuits in their hands were no longer fragrant.

...

Monday.

After the morning class ended, Shen Jiale walked out of the classroom and was stopped by Qin Guisheng again.

"I have something to say that may be a little presumptuous. I don't know if I should say it or not?"

Shen Jiale said impatiently, "If you think it's presumptuous, don't say it."

Qin Guisheng was not discouraged by Shen Jiale's attitude and said, "I heard that your husband is uneducated and doesn't even have a job."

"Does it have anything to do with you?"

"Don't you think he will drag you down?"

Shen Jiale snorted, "So? Do you want me to be like you, abandon my wife and children in the countryside, and live happily in Beijing alone?"

Qin Guisheng's face suddenly changed when he was hit by Shen Jiale's words.

A female classmate passing by asked, "Qin Guisheng, are you married?"

Qin Guisheng said in panic, "How is that possible? I'm still single."

He had never said in front of others that he was married. How could Shen Jiale know this?

Qin Guisheng felt guilty and worried that he would be exposed if he said too much, so he left quickly.
