The next morning, they went to a southern city.
Before leaving, Gu Changzheng gave Gu Jianhua and He Meizhu some instructions regarding Lu Zhengde's situation in the city, and told them to be extra careful when taking care of the children.
Gu Jianhua was alright, but He Meizhu was taken aback.
"That heartless bastard is in this city too? Wasn't he in a labor camp on a farm? How did he end up in our city?"
He Meizhu was unaware of Lu Zhengde's release.
She only vaguely heard what Aunt Wu from across the street said yesterday, and didn't think about it seriously.
It's only now that we've discovered that Lu Zhengde was able to be released ahead of schedule?
"They said he had performed meritorious service and his sentence was reduced, so he was released."
Gu Changzheng answered.
He Meizhu:......
Gu Jianhua was silent for a while before slowly saying, "I understand. Your mother should try not to take the child out these days."
Having served in the military and as a battalion commander, he quickly sensed the potential danger.
He Meizhu nodded immediately.
"Yes, yes, your dad is right. I won't take the three kids out for walks for a while. We'll talk about it again when you guys come back."
"good."
After explaining what had happened, Gu Changzheng and his wife left home.
Sanbao waved goodbye, telling them to go home soon.
Lu Huaijiao left the hospital and got on the tram, then started wiping away tears. This startled Gu Changzheng quite a bit; why was she crying all of a sudden?
"What's wrong with my wife? Don't scare my baby. Can you tell your husband what's wrong?"
"I'm fine."
Lu Huaijiao wiped away her tears and said in a choked voice, "I just can't bear to leave my child and my parents."
Gu Changzheng: ...
No, he understands that his wife is reluctant to leave the child, after all, he is also quite reluctant to leave the child.
It's normal to feel reluctant to part with your child once you become a parent.
But what does it mean that she can't bear to leave her parents? It's not like she's never been away from home before, so why can't she bear to leave her parents?
It's puzzling.
Lu Huaijiao was sad for a while, but then she came to a decision: she would earn money as soon as possible and then live on the island she bought to take care of her children and the elderly.
You can count your money at home without being separated from your children.
Gu Changzheng: ...
He needs to work even harder to fulfill his wife's wishes.
So, for the entire summer vacation, Gu Changzheng accompanied Lu Huaijiao to invest and make money everywhere.
The two originally had a considerable fortune, but after a summer vacation, Lu Huaijiao was left with only two boxes of gold bricks, a box of antiques salvaged from the river, and jade artifacts left to her by her grandmother.
There's only a few dollars left.
As for antiques and gold, she doesn't sell them.
Touching her pockets, which were even cleaner than her face, Lu Huaijiao looked at the man beside her and said, "Gu Changzheng, you'd better work hard to earn money to support me."
Before her investment yielded any returns, she could only rely on the money earned from Gu Changzheng's clothing store to spend.
Gu Changzheng smiled and pinched her cheek: "Thank you, wife, for giving me the opportunity to earn money to support you."
Lu Huaijiao raised an eyebrow, pleased that he had pleased her words.
When school started in September, Niu Fangfang, who had been separated from Lu Huaijiao for more than two months, almost didn't recognize her at first glance.
"Jiaojiao, why are you so tanned?" Niu Fangfang saw Lu Huaijiao and quickly grabbed her sleeve to examine her closely. "What have you been doing this summer? Did you go farming? Why are you so tanned?"
Niu Fangfang, that's actually a bit of an exaggeration.
Lu Huaijiao's skin was just a little darker than when she was in school, but Niu Fangfang made it sound like she had become a completely black person.
"I spent a lot of time outdoors during the summer vacation and got a bit tanned, but I'll recover in a few days, it's okay."
It's a bit infuriating, really, that her skin recovers so easily.
People with cool-toned fair skin not only don't tan easily, but even if they do get tanned, they recover their tan very quickly.
Lu Huaijiao has almost finished what she needed to do, and the business at the garment factory is on track. She won't need to keep running around anymore, and she'll naturally be able to make a profit.
Niu Fangfang was extremely envious and jealous!
This summer, she worked at Lu Huaijiao's clothing factory. To lose weight, she rode her father's bicycle to work every day.
Although she covered herself up well, with only her eyes showing most of the time on the street, it couldn't keep out the scorching sun.
The sun, like a fireball, shone so intensely that it penetrated her clothes and tanned her skin a deep, dark brown.
It will take her a long time to recover from this condition.
Unlike Lu Huaijiao, who spent two months outside and not only didn't get much tan, but easily regained her fair complexion by simply covering herself up, it's just infuriating!
Niu Fangfang pouted, looking unhappy.
Lu Huaijiao smiled and said, "Fangfang, you're not dark-skinned at all. Besides, you're so cute, even if you were dark-skinned, it wouldn't affect your looks."
She's still willing to coax her good friends.
"Really?"
Niu Fangfang was very naive and was quickly coaxed into laughing.
The two sisters chatted as they walked inside. Niu Fangfang was quite talkative, especially in front of her good friend.
"Jiaojiao, I have something to tell you..."
She linked arms with Lu Huaijiao, like a little sparrow, and happily shared with her what she had seen and heard during her two months of work at Changjiao Garment Factory.
Lu Huaijiao listened with a smile, occasionally interjecting a sentence to keep the conversation from getting awkward.
Niu Fangfang was very happy working at the garment factory.
There was one thing that made her unhappy.
"I met a really annoying man during summer vacation. He actually called me 'little chubby girl,' which made me so angry!"
Lu Huaijiao: ...
"Who is it? How dare someone be so tactless? Our Fangfang is so slim, how dare he talk to you like that?"
"I don't know his name either, he's just a really annoying old man."
Niu Fangfang sounded quite resentful, especially when she said the word "old," as if she wanted to tear a piece of flesh off the other person.
Lu Huaijiao frowned.
It seems Fangfang really dislikes that man? But why is there a hint of shyness mixed in with her dislike?
Lu Huaijiao felt that things were not as simple as she had heard.
However, she hasn't met the old man Niu Fangfang mentioned yet, so she can only leave it at that for now.
When we have the chance to see it, we'll see if Niu Fangfang's "I hate you so much" is genuine, or if it's just a kind of 'dislike' she has for Gu Changzheng.
Lu Huaijiao didn't know.
I dare not make wild guesses.
But honestly, Niu Fangfang is a very good girl, and a girl like her deserves to meet a good man who will cherish her.
I just don't know if that good man is the old man Niu Fangfang was talking about.
After thinking about it again, she realized they would have a chance to meet eventually. If they did meet, she would then carefully assess whether the other person was someone Niu Fangfang could rely on.
