She got back around midnight, but Jiaojiao had just fallen asleep, which meant that her Jiaojiao had been working for at least four or five hours...
He Meizhu, who had been hesitant about cooking less duck, immediately decided to cook all the duck meat in the pot. Some was used to stir-fry with potatoes, and some was used to make soup for Jiaojiao to nourish her body.
Gu Changzheng had no idea what his mother was thinking, so he turned around and went out.
He rushed back from the southern coastal city not only because he missed his wife terribly, but also because he had something very important to do.
He came back to get revenge on his wife.
The goods they brought back are in a house in the provincial capital. Gu Tiezhu is guarding it alone. He will return to the provincial capital after he finishes his business at home.
I'm selling all the goods I have this time, and I won't be back until the Chinese New Year.
I should be heading to the provincial capital by tomorrow at the latest.
He was worried about leaving Gu Tiezhu alone there.
Gu Changzheng left quickly, so quickly that He Meizhu turned around and he was gone.
She felt a little helpless; she was thinking of telling her fourth brother about getting into a vocational school, but he had already left.
Why are you in such a hurry? I wonder where you're going or what you need to do?
However, on the other hand, the fourth brother is a man of his own mind, so they don't need to worry about him too much.
I should worry about how to nourish Jiaojiao's body...
…………
On a quiet winter morning, the mountain village was deserted, with few people venturing out.
Gu Changzheng pushed his bicycle to the village entrance and rode it along the road toward the neighboring Liujia Village.
A tall, military-green figure rode his bicycle along the snow-covered road. What might be a slippery surface for an ordinary person posed no problem for him.
About half an hour later, he arrived at Liujia Village.
Liu Chun's maternal home is in Liu Family Village.
Gu Changzheng didn't need anyone to give him directions; he knew the way like the back of his hand and arrived at the Liu family's house.
The Liu family home is small, just a small courtyard where Old Mrs. Liu, Old Mr. Liu, and their two sons live together.
Because the family was too poor, only one of their three sons was married; the other two remained single. The married son couldn't stand the family's laziness and moved out early on.
The remaining two unmarried sons live with the elderly couple.
At this moment, Old Mrs. Liu and Old Mr. Liu had just gotten up. They hadn't washed their faces in who knows how long, and their eyes were full of eye discharge. Their faces were also dirty, as if they had crawled out from under a pot.
It was snowing outside, and they didn't have enough firewood to burn for warmth. When they woke up in the morning, they were just wrapped in a stiff quilt that hadn't been washed in who knows how long.
Waiting for dinner.
They weren't waiting for food from their two bachelor sons, but rather for Liu Chun to bring them food from the neighboring Dawan Village.
A few days ago, Liu Chun had a fight with Gu Changshan and took her child back to her parents' home. She originally planned to wait for Gu Changshan to come and pick her up, but she couldn't stand it after just one day at her parents' home.
They took the child and slunk back to Dawan Village.
Before leaving, Old Mrs. Liu held Liu Chun's hand, tears streaming down her face, and told her about the family's difficulties, begging her not to forget to send them food, otherwise her parents would starve to death.
Liu Chun considered herself to be the most filial daughter of Old Lady Liu, so she certainly wouldn't stand idly by when she saw her parents in such a miserable state.
So, regardless of his own family situation, he readily agreed and started bringing meals to his parents every day.
Only then was Old Lady Liu satisfied and let her return to Dawan Village.
Liu Chun kept his promise these past two days, secretly bringing them food. So, Old Mrs. Liu and Old Mr. Liu were waiting for Liu Chun's arrival today as well.
This old lady Liu is really quite interesting. She told Liu Chun that daughters are all a waste of money and that he shouldn't feed Daya and Erya.
While holding Liu Chun's hand, she said that Liu Chun was their warm little cotton-padded jacket, and that it was fortunate that Liu Chun was there, otherwise the two old people might have starved to death...
Such contradictory statements would certainly raise questions if heard by others.
It was Liu Chun, the daughter who had previously been largely ignored but was now suddenly being valued, who overheard this and, instead of questioning it, felt extremely proud.
I never imagined she would have such a significant impact on my parents.
At the same time, she also agreed with her mother's words that daughters should not eat too much grain, and that grain should be left for the sons in the family.
Not only that, all the family property will belong to the son in the future, and the daughter will have to find ways to support her parents' family after she gets married, otherwise she will be letting down her parents who raised her with such hardship...
All I can say is that Old Lady Liu's brainwashing was very successful.
The bicycle stopped outside the Liu family's house. Gu Changzheng pushed up his hat, looked up, and peered through the dilapidated bamboo fence.
The Liu family's house was tightly closed, and there was a lot of snow piled up in the yard, with no signs of it being swept.
Aren't they worried that the snow will accumulate so deep that it freezes their door shut?
Gu Changzheng scoffed, parked his bicycle, pushed open the gate of the fence, and walked to the door of the room where Liu Laosan and Liu Laoer slept. He then slapped the door.
He pounded on the wooden door loudly.
Old Mrs. Liu and Old Mr. Liu, who were in the main house, also heard the knocking on the door.
"Dad, why am I hearing knocking on the door? Who is it? Is it that brat Liu Chun?"
Grandma Liu asked Grandpa Liu, who was standing to the side.
