Chapter 26 Chapter 26 He is really willing to do anything for Hongguo...
Jiang Hongguo was not shy with him at this time. She drove him to the kitchen to take a bath and told him that he must take a bath with hot water today and not to use a bucket to scoop water. He soaked in the hot water. Hongguo checked his back and chest and indeed did not see any bruises. She pressed his ribs and lower abdomen and asked him if it hurt.
Gu Changzong moved her hand to his chest, with all kinds of emotions strung together, his voice as light as floating on cotton: "Guoguo, this position is so uncomfortable."
Jiang Hongguo thought he had been hit in the chest and was very anxious, but suddenly she realized that what he was talking about was a different kind of pain, a pain that she had never felt so cared about before.
Jiang Hongguo softened her heart and rubbed him. After he said it didn't hurt anymore, she asked, "How could you fight?"
Even if Changzong had disguised himself and was holding the IOU, it was only natural to pay back debts, so why did he resort to violence? Hongguo couldn't understand. Was there some hidden secret?
Hong Guo smoothed over the sadness in Gu Changzong's heart. He thought that although he felt a little aggrieved, Hong Guo would be happy that he did what he said.
He said that he went to inform Xiao Sun to collect the debt. Xiao Sun did not beat him up, but was grateful. He said that if he couldn't get the things back, he would be willing to convert them into money. He converted them into 4,000 yuan and agreed to pay him back in a month.
The conversation went quite well. Jiang Hongguo was waiting for him to talk about the dispute.
Gu Changzong said that he was Xiao Sun's man and was stubborn. He followed him out and insisted on asking him the reason why he disguised himself and acted like a ghost. Gu Changzong scolded him for being stupid and said that Xiao Sun couldn't pay it back but was willing to do so. The others had the conditions but were unwilling to pay it back. It would be too troublesome if it was known that it was him, so he had to disguise himself.
Gu Changzong said: "He was a bit stubborn. He listened to me but refused to accept it. I beat him until he accepted it. Then he went back. He didn't dare to tell Xiaosun that we had the IOU. Guoguo, don't worry."
It turned out that the fight was for this reason. Jiang Hongguo felt uncomfortable. Xiao Sun's man was so burly. No matter how powerful Chang Zong was, if the opponent used brute force, he would suffer some loss. It was impossible that he didn't get hit at all. He just didn't say it because he didn't want to make her worry.
Jiang Hongguo said sadly: "Chang Zong, you must feel wronged for helping Xiao Sun's man. If you don't want to do something in the future, you can give up halfway even if you promised me."
Only then did Gu Changzong realize that Hongguo was so worried about him just because he had a minor invisible injury, but instead of blaming him, he was really willing to do anything for Hongguo.
This made him bolder, and he brought Hongguo in. The water splashed like dancing petals, and the not-quite-full barrel had overflowed from the water.
After a confused bath, Jiang Hongguo felt a little tired at night, and her forehead was hot. Gu Changzong brought some cold medicine. After taking the medicine, Hongguo told him not to blame himself: "Don't let me infect you. Go to that room and sleep."
Gu Changzong was unwilling, and used his body temperature to warm the bed, saying: "It will be fine if you sweat, right? I'm warm, Guoguo, hold me, I won't be infected, and neither will the little one."
Perhaps Changzong and Xiaobudian are not prone to illness. Up to now, Xiaobudian has not even had a headache or fever. Jiang Hongguo rests her head on his arm, and it is indeed more comfortable to sleep while holding him.
In the morning, Gu Changzong said he was going to ask for leave and not drive. Now was the critical moment to go through the process of getting a driver's license from the company, so it was not good. Jiang Hongguo refused and asked him to drive, saying, "When you leave, tell Sister Shan to come and make milk powder for the little one in the morning. I'm sick, so just listen to my arrangements for this little thing, don't argue with me."
Gu Changzong was still blaming himself for dragging Hongguo to take a bath together last night. The charcoal fire was not lit, the kitchen was not warmed up, the hot water was not hot enough, and it took so long that Hongguo fell ill.
He didn't dare to say anything more and went out with the door closed.
In the morning, Sister Shan from next door came over to help feed the little one with milk powder. She also made porridge for Hongguo and fried some sour and spicy shredded potatoes. She brought them to the bedside table and told Hongguo to eat while sitting on the bed.
Jiang Hongguo was grateful: "Sister Shan, thank you so much for troubling you."
Sister Shan couldn't help laughing: "Don't thank me, your husband bought a bag of apples, which are not cheap in the winter, and asked me to make some porridge for you to feed the little one. When he went to the countryside before, you must have taken good care of him, right?"
Jiang Hongguo smiled and nodded: "I am very good to him and he is very good to me." There is no need to explain anything else.
In the evening, Changzong hadn't come back yet, so Xiao Sun came first and brought some hot ginger and brown sugar. She poured it into Jiang Hongguo's thermos cup and found that there was still half a cup in it. She smelled the spicy smell that hit her nose. With such a strong ginger smell, she smiled and said, "This must be sent by Grandma Kong."
Jiang Hongguo had no choice but to laugh: "It's too spicy. I can't drink it."
Xiao Sun said that she had also drunk the ginger soup made by Grandma Kong, but she couldn't drink it either, so she secretly poured it out and said with a smile: "Grandma Kong was reluctant to put sugar in it, and she put too much ginger, so I couldn't drink it. Drink mine instead."
Jiang Hongguo changed to ginger sugar water and drank half a cup in one breath. The two chatted for a few words. Jiang Hongguo turned the topic to the two men, wanting to see if there was anything wrong with Xiao Sun.
Xiao Sun knew nothing about her husband's fight, so Jiang Hongguo felt relieved. She was just a little curious about how Xiao Sun earned 4,000 yuan.
Xiao Sun's husband is now a driver, but he can't do any private work and can't earn extra money. His salary and benefits are over 100 yuan a month, and Xiao Sun gets commission, which seems to be around 100 or 200 yuan a month. Even if the couple lives frugally, it is still not enough for a year.
Maybe they have a plan. Jiang Hongguo is not in a hurry to pay it back in one month or several months. As long as Xiao Sun is willing to pay it back, it doesn't matter if it takes longer.
Even now, Changzong and Xiaosun's husband already know each other's background. Changzong never takes the initiative to mention the things that are different from ordinary people. Xiaosun's husband should not mention it either, right?
Jiang Hongguo thought about it and decided that it shouldn’t happen. Even if it was mentioned, she wouldn’t be afraid because Changzong was more powerful.
…
Her cold was cured in a few days. The little one missed her so much that he stayed in her arms at night and didn't want to leave. Jiang Hongguo also wanted to hold the little one to sleep and said, "Changzong, other children sleep with their parents, but ours is only a few months old and has never slept with us."
Gu Changzong said: "Guoguo, don't you feel it? He is testing our bottom line. We can't compromise. He has to go back to his room. From now on, it will be you and me who will accompany each other. He is just a passer-by in our lives."
Jiang Hongguo was helpless. She kissed the little one and put him back into the cradle: "Dad is right. We are little men and we need to sleep by ourselves."
The little one hugged Jiang Hongguo's neck and refused to let go, crying out of grievance. When Gu Changzong pinched his face, he dared not say a word and obediently reached into Changzong's arms.
"Mom... Ma." The little one muttered two words.
Jiang Hongguo covered her mouth in surprise. After she came to her senses, she quickly took the little one from Changzong's arms and coaxed him to call "Mom" again. This time the little one enunciated clearly and called "Mom" fluently.
Hongguo has seen children who can simply pronounce words at seven or eight months old, but the little one is only five months old. Will he be able to learn other things quickly in the future?
Hong Guo was very happy: "Chang Zong, Diandian can talk now, that's amazing."
Gu Changzong felt average: "Not bad."
Jiang Hongguo smiled. In her mind, it was already amazing that the little one was calling "Mom" at five months old. She even wanted the little one to call "Dad". After looking at Changzong, the child buried his head in Jiang Hongguo's neck, seeming to be aggrieved.
Jiang Hongguo didn't know if the little one could understand, but she wanted to say: "Diandian, your mother gave birth to you and your father raised you. They both worked hard. You should be nice to your father."
She pointed at Chang Zong and taught the little one: "Dad."
After Hongguo taught him several times, the little one finally called "Dad". Changzong was somewhat moved, and an indescribable warmth slowly welled up in his heart.
"How about letting him sleep in our room tonight?" Gu Changzong didn't know if this decision would become a trouble for him.
Jiang Hongguo was very happy that Changzong took the initiative to change. She thought that the little one was different from normal children, and perhaps Changzong's parenting method was better for the little one. She changed her mind and said that since it was hard to cultivate good habits, they should continue to sleep in separate rooms.
The next day after recovering from the cold, Jiang Hongguo saw that Changzong had no intention of going to the transport company. He had already obtained his driver's license, so Hongguo did not force him and asked, "There is nothing to do at home today, why did you ask for leave?"
Gu Changzong said that he was not asking for leave. After the internship, he would no longer work in the transportation company. He only followed the trucks on the designated routes. While the drivers delivered goods, he brought some things back and forth to sell, and shared the profits with the master on duty, the team leader, and several other people.
"Guoguo, this way I'll have more time to accompany you. If I can get my driver's license earlier, I can stay at home when you have a cold for a few days."
With this way of distribution, Changzong was the busiest and most tired, but he had to give half of his earnings to those people. It was a loss, but there was no better way now.
Jiang Hongguo suddenly thought, what if my family buys a car? When Changzong was learning to drive, he talked about cars every day. He said that this year there was a five-ton truck that sold for 38,000 yuan. If I worked hard for a few years, I might be able to afford it.
He has a big cart to run business, and even a county magistrate would not trade it for it, which shows how much money he makes. But the price of nearly 40,000 yuan is too high for even Hong Guo, who has 20,000 yuan in savings, to even think about it.
The 20,000 yuan was the inheritance from Changzong's grandmother, so it was essentially free money. It would not be easy to earn it by yourself.
Jiang Hongguo suddenly thought, Chang Zong was learning to drive, investigating routes, but he didn't go to work for a transportation company. Was his ultimate goal to buy a big truck?
"Changzong, do you want to buy a big truck and drive it yourself?" Jiang Hongguo asked.
Gu Changzong nodded repeatedly, his eyes shining: "Guoguo, can you lend me your family savings when the time comes? I will double the money I earn and give it to you."
They are already husband and wife, so why did Changzong say "borrow"? It seems that he used the word "borrow" because he was afraid that she would object.
Jiang Hongguo assured him: "Okay, when you earn enough to pay for the other half of the car, I will take out the money and give it to you."
"Guoguo, you are so nice." Gu Changzong was overjoyed. He picked up Hongguo and spun her around several times. Guoguo guessed it even though he didn't mention it and encouraged him.
The two were just dreaming and calculating how long it would take to earn enough money to buy a car when Sister Shan came over, looking extremely anxious and asked Jiang Hongguo and Gu Changzong to follow her.
"Xiao Sun was bullied by her ex-husband's family, and she dared not let her husband know. Hong Guo, let your husband look after Xiao Sun's husband. If he starts beating people, people will die. The last one is lying in the hospital and hasn't recovered yet."
Jiang Hongguo knew that Changzong might not want to intervene, so she leaned over and whispered in his ear: "Changzong, Xiao Sun still has 4,000 yuan of debt to be collected. You can go and take a look with the little one. If Xiao Sun's husband is disobedient, tell him to hold the child. He won't dare to do anything wrong with the little baby in his arms."
Gu Changzong thought this was a good idea. Xiao Sun had made a lot of money recently and was about to pay back the money, so he couldn't let it go to waste.
Jiang Hongguo and Sister Shan rushed to the antique shop. Xiao Sun's ex-in-laws had already left. The owner of the antique shop, whose surname was Zheng, tried to persuade her, and Sister Shan also went up to persuade her. Hongguo couldn't get a word in, so she just listened from the side and understood what happened roughly.
