During the subsequent chat, Zhang Meng learned that the couple's surnames were Su and Wan, the man was Su Guangliang and the woman was Wan Biru.
The couple used to be teachers, but now that their school is gone, they can only find temporary jobs outside to earn a living. As for their son and daughter-in-law, they responded to the call of the motherland and went to support rural construction.
Only a grandson who was less than one year old was left at home to accompany them.
As soon as they came in, Zhang Meng and Gu Mingtai realized that the child was just frightened and his soul and spirit had floated away. As long as they called the soul and spirit back, everything would be fine.
But before coming, Gu Mingtai had promised to check the child's health. To make it look good, he symbolically took the pulse of the baby who was sleeping like a pig.
"It's okay. The child's health is pretty good. He just has a weak spleen, but it's not a big deal."
Su Guangliang and his wife nodded as they listened.
"But Comrade Gu, my grandson has been crying for no reason in the past half month. Can you figure out the reason?" Wan Biru asked Gu Mingtai nervously.
Gu Mingtai looked at the sleeping baby, stroking his chin in thought for a while, then slowly said, "Gentlemen, I'm just saying some things. If you don't believe me, just listen casually. I don't think your child is sick. If he keeps crying, it seems like he's been frightened or something. Why don't you call his soul back!"
"Yeah, I told you that's the reason, but you old man don't believe me."
When Wan Biru heard that someone believed her previous guess, she immediately told Wan Guangliang proudly.
Wan Guangliang gave his wife a wry smile and said bitterly, "I've thought about it, but right now, where would a witch be willing to come and help us?"
Zhang Meng was just about to open her mouth to say that she could, when she suddenly felt someone pulling her arm. She turned her head and saw that it was Gu Mingtai, who was sitting next to her, who pulled her.
Seeing him blink, Zhang Meng subconsciously swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
"Actually, we don't know much about this, but there are some children like this in our village. In the evening, we stand outside the window with a child's clothes and shout the child's name outside the window, asking him to come back. I saw them doing this, and I don't know if it works." Gu Mingtai said with a faint smile.
Wan Biru slapped her thigh and excitedly pulled Su Guangliang's arm, saying, "I've heard what this comrade said before. It might be useful."
Su Guangliang was silent for a moment, then he clapped his hands and immediately expressed his gratitude to Gu Mingtai, "Thank you, Comrade Gu. If I hadn't met you two today, I would have been dead!"
Gu Mingtai said politely, "Don't say that. Uncle Su, you helped us first, and we didn't help much. I hope you don't think we are lying to you."
When Wan Biru heard this, she pulled Su Guangliang aside and asked him about it. Only then did she know why they knew each other. "So, Comrade Xiao Zhang likes things from the Overseas Chinese Store. Our factory makes clothes. Do you want some? I have a few pieces here that I can give to you."
Wan Biru turned around and immediately took out three white Daiyi shirts from the closet in the corner.
Wan Biru took out some fashionable clothes here. Compared with the clothes in the small county where Zhang Meng lived, these three pieces of clothing were considered trendy.
"These three pieces of clothing were made by our factory. There are just some black marks on them, so the factory gave them to us old employees. I'm the only girl in my family, and I'm quite old. I can't wear these clothes that girls wear even if I want to. Comrade Zhang, you're young, so I'll give these clothes to you." Wan Biru pushed the three pieces of clothing directly into Zhang Meng's arms.
"I'll give you the money, otherwise I can't accept it."
After taking a look, she found that although these three clothes had some flaws, they were not too obvious. She would feel bad if she didn't give them something.
Wan Biru immediately took a step back and pretended to be angry and said, "Comrade Xiao Zhang, what's wrong with you? You helped my grandson, so can't I give you a few pieces of clothes in return?"
Zhang Meng smiled helplessly and explained, "No, Aunt Wan, that's not what I meant. It's just that this dress is so valuable that I feel a little uneasy about accepting it."
"Why should I be uneasy? They are just three pieces of clothing. They may be valuable to you, but to your Aunt Wan, they are nothing. They are not as precious as food outside. Our factory will occasionally give us old employees some defective clothes. I have given away a lot of them to my neighbors."
"But..." Zhang Meng had just said these words when Gu Mingtai touched her left arm.
"Xiao Meng, didn't you say you wanted to find a business for your uncle?"
Gu Mingtai winked at her secretly.
Zhang Meng turned around to look at him, and soon looked at the three genuine shirts in her hands in surprise.
Gu Mingtai saw that she understood what he was going to say and smiled.
After a moment of hesitation, Zhang Meng turned to look at Wan Biru with some embarrassment, "Auntie Wan, can you sell the clothes from your factory?"
Although private transactions are being cracked down on in this era, there are still many people who secretly take things out to sell in order to survive.
