Wang Guiying, Ge Yun, and Fan Chun turned around at the same time when they heard this. Gu Zhenqi took the photo from under the pillow and handed it to Wang Guiying: "Mom, Chen Kuo's reply was accompanied by a photo. Let me show it to you!"
Wang Guiying took the photo with trembling hands due to excitement. The moment her eyes fell on the photo, her eyes instantly became moist and she stroked the photo with her fingertips with care.
"Look, my third brother has become stronger after three years of absence. He has grown into a real man!"
Wang Guiying was a little unhappy when she heard Ge Yun's words. She rolled her eyes at her and said, "What are you talking about? He is already the father of two children. How come he has grown into a real man only in your words?"
Ge Yun slapped his mouth and said angrily: "Yes, mother is right. Look, I was born with a mouth that can't speak."
"Sister-in-law, you are quite self-aware!"
Fan Chun just smiled and said something to Ge Yun. As for Chen Kuo, she wisely chose to remain silent.
Otherwise...
The more she talks, the more mistakes she makes. As a mother-in-law, she really dotes on her youngest son!
When she got up at night, she saw her mother-in-law more than once, wiping her eyes and tears in the middle of the night in front of a lonely lamp with a wick that was almost burned out, and whispering about her longing for her youngest son.
Wang Guiying looked at it for a long time, then reluctantly returned the photo to Gu Zhenqi: "You should keep it well, take it out and look at it from time to time, don't forget what your man looks like!"
She turned her head and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and called Ge Yun. Fan Chun said: "Let's go. If you go too late, your work points will be deducted!"
"Mom, I'll bring you some summer heat relief soup this afternoon!"
Gu Zhenqi said to Wang Guiyingfen who walked to the door.
Hearing her words, Ge Yun and Fan Chun's faces lit up with joy. As soon as they stepped out of the door, they were hit by a wave of heat. They thought that they would get a tan in the afternoon.
It would be great if Gu Zhenqi could send some cool summer-relief soup, which could at least alleviate some of the discomfort caused by the high temperature and exposure to the sun.
It can also make those old ladies in the fields envious and jealous...
"It's too hot. Be careful not to get heatstroke if you go out. Stay home. We brought some sugar water!"
Gu Zhenqi did not insist with her any more words. She had to go out in the afternoon anyway, so it was just a matter of delivering the summer-cooling soup.
Then he asked something else: "Mom, do you know where there is a big river? A lake would be fine too?"
Although Gu Zhenqi has been married for more than three years, she seldom goes out and is not familiar with the surrounding environment.
"Why are you asking this?" Wang Guiying asked puzzled.
"I want to go catch some more small fish. It's cool by the river, and it's a good time to take the kids for a walk. They can't stay at home all the time."
"A big river? If you go west out of the village, there is a big river between our village and Xitunzi Village. Then, if you walk about ten miles, there is a big river next to Nanshi Village. A lake? There is a lake in Yinglou Village, about eight miles away from us."
Ge Yun suddenly said, "There is a biggest river in the east of the town, mother, how could you forget it?"
"Yes, at the east end of the town we have the largest river in the area, but it's only 20 miles away."
"Why are you walking? Zhenqi, go to the village chief's house, borrow a bicycle, and ride there." Ge Yun suggested.
"Sister-in-law, you don't even know whether Zhenqi can ride a bicycle, so you just give a suggestion!" Fan Chun said.
"I will!" Gu Zhenqi said with a smile.
When Ge Yun suggested a bicycle, Gu Zhenqi realized that the family really needed a bicycle so that it would be convenient for her to do things.
"I understand. Mother, eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, you guys go to work."
After seeing them off, Gu Zhenqi went downstairs to open the box, and based on his memory, he found an iron box inside.
This was where she kept her money, and she opened it and counted all her current possessions.
All in all, the total amount was 928.96 yuan in cash, and some colorful tickets of various names, including grain tickets, cloth tickets, oil tickets, coal tickets, tofu tickets, soap tickets, meat tickets, fish tickets, kerosene tickets and dozens of other tickets.
Gu Zhenqi couldn't help but frown when she looked at this small amount of money. It seemed that she had to change her strategy a little bit and raise the cub while making more money.
Although she has the prophetic memory of becoming rich in her previous life, the problem now is: she needs money in all aspects of life!
In less than two years, the individual economy will be opened up, and she needs start-up capital, so she has to earn her first pot of gold before then.
It is obviously not enough to rely solely on Chen Kuo’s monthly allowance of several dozen yuan?
If it weren't for the unlimited supplies in her space, Chen Kuo's allowance would be far from enough to maintain her current living and food standards.
make money!
Having made up her mind, she began to think about it!
However, before making money, she had to prepare a package for Chen Kuo to send by mail.
After packing up the money, Gu Zhenqi took her two children out. Since her family currently had no means of transportation, she still followed her sister-in-law's advice.
He borrowed a bicycle from the village chief's house with four eggs, and carrying Rui Duo, he headed for the river that his mother-in-law Wang Guiying had mentioned.
Ruiduo and Feian, who were riding bicycles for the first time, were a little scared, but more excited. They laughed happily all the way and even shouted with joy from time to time.
When they arrived at the first river channel, Gu Zhenqi parked his bicycle, looked around to see if there was anyone around, took out a large parasol from the space, and propped it between two large rocks.
Holding Ruiduo and Fei'an, she sat on the stones that were a little hot from the sun. She had already laid out cooling mats in advance to ensure that their delicate little butts would not be burned.
He then carefully took out a photo of Chen Kuo from his pocket: "Rui Duo, Fei An, look, the man in the photo is your father!"
"He is a great hero who defends the motherland! He will come back to see you during the Chinese New Year. Just stay and watch daddy for a while while mommy goes fishing."
Rui Duo hesitated for a moment, but still took the photo. When Gu Zhenqi turned around, he heard Rui Duo ask cautiously: "Brother, is he really our father? Will he really come back to see us during the Chinese New Year?"
Fei An glanced at Chen Kuo in the photo and nodded, because the person in the photo looked very similar to him, so he could be sure that it was his father.
Someone who is extremely unfamiliar but also someone I look forward to!
He paused for a moment before answering Ruiduo's other question: "I will be back!"
This is what Fei'an secretly hopes for deep in his heart. He wants to see his father and be carried on his father's shoulders like the other children in the village.
What does it look like if you look down from a high place? Fei An has always been curious.
He secretly wondered if his father would come back and he would have a chance to take a look.
Gu Zhenqi looked back at them. Seeing how they looked at Chen Kuo's photo, cautiously, unfamiliarly, and yet with unspeakable anticipation, she felt very distressed!
She secretly made up her mind that when Chen Kuo came back this time, she would take the children with her to join the army, saying that the family should be together and the children needed a father, and they couldn't let them live like children from single-parent families even though they already had a father!
Dad only exists in photos. The first time she got to know her father was through photos. Thinking of this, her heart felt like it was being stabbed by needles.
She felt extremely guilty towards her own child and was filled with deep remorse!
