Gu Tiezhu was deeply moved by Gu Changzheng's arrangement.
I know he meant well.
This is also why he unconditionally trusts Gu Changzheng, and is willing to do whatever Gu Changzheng asks him to do.
In other people's eyes, Gu Changzheng might be unreliable and a lazy bum, but Gu Tiezhu knew that Gu Changzheng was a very good person.
He truly offered endless help to those he treated like brothers.
For example, that's how he is.
The two of them took the time to rest on the train back home, which goes without saying.
The scene then shifts to Dawancun.
Lu Huaijiao rested in bed for three days. On the fourth day, her stomach pain subsided. The weather outside was also nice, so Huang Tingxiu brought Gu Taotao over and asked if she wanted to go to town.
It only takes them five minutes to get to town from here, to the village entrance, and to catch a bus.
Lu Huaijiao didn't have anything she wanted to buy, but He Meizhu said that since she was free anyway, she might as well go to town and see if there was anything she wanted to buy at the supply and marketing cooperative.
Lu Huaijiao thought about it for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
However, she certainly couldn't bring her three children with her if she went alone. Since the three children also wanted to go, she invited He Meizhu to come along. She took the three children, closed the door, and walked towards the village entrance with Huang Tingxiu and her daughter.
Their house is very close to the village entrance, about a hundred meters away, where they wait for the bus at the roadside.
Besides them, there were also Miao Yuan from next door, and several other educated youths and villagers waiting for the bus here.
Miao Yuan was waiting for a car with her very thin daughter, Gu Qingqing. When she saw He Meizhu and Lu Huaijiao coming over, her expression stiffened for a moment.
After a long pause, he managed to squeeze out a few words: "Mom, are you going to town too?"
He Meizhu glanced at Miao Yuan sideways, gave a cold snort as an answer, and turned to focus on the child she was holding.
Miao Yuan's complexion visibly worsened.
With so many people watching, she couldn't save face, and when He Meizhu gave her a cold look, she wanted to curse.
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Lu Huaijiao talking to Huang Tingxiu, and the memory of the previous incident where she was splashed with excrement came back to her.
He couldn't help but grit his teeth and say, "Sister-in-law, you are so lucky. Everyone's mother-in-law is now yours alone. It's truly enviable."
Lu Huaijiao, who hadn't taken Miao Yuan seriously, was unexpectedly dragged into the conversation.
Moreover, judging from Miao Yuan's posture, it seemed that he had no choice but to answer.
She glanced at Miao Yuan sideways.
"Second sister-in-law, are you still digesting the feces you ate last time? No wonder your voice always smells so foul!"
"Lu Huaijiao, you!"
Miao Yuan stared wide-eyed, unsure how to speak to Lu Huaijiao.
His incompetent attitude and penchant for stirring up trouble are truly hilarious.
After Lu Huaijiao finished speaking, she ignored Miao Yuan and continued to talk to Huang Tingxiu while holding Xiaobao.
Their three children, from oldest to youngest, each have a name.
The eldest child is named Xingzhi, the second child Jingchen, and the third child Huaiche; all names are taken from the Book of Songs.
However, because the baby is still small, Lu Huaijiao and the others prefer to call him Da Bao, Er Bao, and Xiao Bao.
Collectively known as the Three Treasures.
The bus hadn't arrived yet. Lu Huaijiao and Huang Tingxiu were talking when she caught a glimpse of Miao Yuan out of the corner of her eye, who kept looking in their direction.
At first, she thought Miao Yuan was spying on her and trying to play some trick on her, but she found that Miao Yuan wasn't looking at her, but was looking past them at the people next to them.
Miao Yuan's scrutinizing gaze was discreet, which piqued her interest.
Lu Huaijiao followed the gaze and realized that the person was looking at a male educated youth next to her.
The important point is that there was a woman with the male educated youth. Judging from the woman's appearance, it seemed like they were husband and wife?
She didn't have a deep impression of the people at the educated youth settlement, and for a moment she didn't know who this person was.
Huang Tingxiu noticed her gaze and looked to the side, where she saw Zhang Qiang. She looked at Lu Huaijiao with a puzzled expression.
"What's wrong with Jiaojiao?"
Lu Huaijiao shook her head.
Just then, the bus arrived, and without saying anything, they boarded it.
They traveled in silence and soon arrived in town.
Seeing Zhang Qiang and Gu Yanping get out of the car, and Miao Yuan carrying Gu Qingqing to get out with them, Lu Huaijiao keenly sensed something was wrong.
Who is that?
She walked behind Huang Tingxiu and the others, holding Xiaobao with extra care.
He Meizhu is very strong; she can carry two of her grandsons by herself without any problems.
When they got off the bus and started walking around town, they put the children down and let them walk hand in hand.
Four children walked hand in hand in front of them.
Unlike most children today, the four of them were clean and adorable, with pink and tender skin, making them exceptionally lovable.
He Meizhu stared intently at the four children, while Lu Huaijiao and Huang Tingxiu lagged half a step behind, chatting about Zhang Qiang.
Huang Tingxiu was initially curious as to why Lu Huaijiao would suddenly inquire about Zhang Qiang.
“He was one of the educated youth who went to the countryside with us, don’t you remember? He used to make advances towards you, but you rejected him.”
When Huang Tingxiu brought up the matter, Lu Huaijiao had no recollection of it at all.
But now that I think about it, I realize I would definitely refuse.
Because Zhang Qiang is clearly no good. Don't think she didn't notice him stealing glances at Miao Yuan several times on the bus earlier.
