Li Qiulan was almost crying as she spoke, "I regretted not spending enough time with your grandparents, and not being able to ease the relationship with them, but I have never regretted marrying your father. The things I have were secretly sent to me by someone I knew after your grandparents got into trouble, but I couldn't sell them back then. But now I don't even know where your grandparents are being reformed, and I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to see them again in this lifetime."
"Mom..." Bai Ruozhen leaned on Li Qiulan's shoulder, "Brother Changqing said that our country won't be like this for long. Everything will get better. Maybe one day grandpa and grandma will be rehabilitated, and then we can meet them. I haven't met grandpa and grandma yet."
Li Qiulan smiled, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes became lively. "Yes, Mom believes it." She really looked forward to such a day coming soon.
"But Mom, you have to keep this bracelet." Bai Ruozhen was even more reluctant to accept it after hearing Li Qiulan's explanation.
Li Qiulan smiled and pushed the things over. "Take it. Your grandmother said at the beginning that although it was given to me as a dowry, it is also for my children. You all have a share. Mom doesn't need it."
"Oh." Bai Ruozhen believed it, put the things away, and suddenly said, "Mom, Brother Changqing often travels around. Why don't you tell him the names and appearances of your grandparents? Maybe he can find out?"
Li Qiulan was stunned. "Is this possible?"
"Why not? We're not doing anything. Even if others find out, we can't say anything. We can't just ignore our relatives." Bai Ruozhen was full of confidence in Gu Changqing. "Mom, my brother Changqing is very capable. Maybe he can really find it?"
Li Qiulan was delighted, "Okay, I'll tell him after you get married."
Bai Ruozhen nodded when she saw her smile, "Mom, go to bed early."
"Oh." Li Qiulan carefully covered her with a bed sheet, then turned off the light and went to sleep.
In the darkness, Bai Ruoyun opened her eyes and thought to herself, it turns out her grandmother's family is so powerful.
The next morning, after breakfast, Bai Ruozhen and Gu Changqing took Li Qiulan and others to Xiahe Village. The wedding was to be held in Xiahe Village, and the family was almost ready, so they went back to the educated youth site to make some preparations.
When they arrived at Xiahe Village, Gu Changqing took them directly to Gu's house. Qiu Lanying greeted Li Qiulan first, then her eyes fell on Bai Liqiang, "Is this Zhenzhen's twin brother? They look so alike."
Everyone in the Gu family knew that Bai Ruozhen had a twin brother, and they were surprised to see him today. They looked at Bai Liqiang back and forth, and even Bai Liqiang, who was thick-skinned, couldn't stand it.
Bai Ruoyun, on the other hand, although only ten years old, had a sweet mouth and said nice things for free, making everyone in the room laugh.
Many people thought that children who grew up in the city were good at speaking.
After having lunch at Gu's house, Li Qiulan and the children were sent to the educated youth point because they were getting married the next day. Bai Ruozhen had to stay at the educated youth point and wait for Gu Changqing to pick him up tomorrow.
Li Qiulan and the other children from the Bai family were visiting the countryside for the first time, and everything they saw was strange to them. When they arrived at the educated youth site and saw the dilapidated site, Li Qiulan felt heartbroken. Her second daughter had lived there for more than half a year, and she must have suffered so much.
Bai Ruozhen saw what she was thinking and smiled, "Mom, don't worry, I really haven't suffered any hardship." Others did suffer a lot when they went to the countryside, but she really didn't suffer any hardship.
She was not good at mending the fishing nets at first, so Feng Qiujuan and Zhu Guixia helped her. After working in the fields for a few days, Xiaoli and Changqing helped her. All in all, she did not work much, otherwise her work points would not be enough to pay back the food to the team.
Li Qiulan sighed, "I'm sorry, I don't know how your elder sister is doing in Guizhou."
Bai Ruozhen and Gu Changqing looked at each other without saying anything. In any case, Bai Ruoxin would definitely not have a good life in the remote mountains of Guizhou.
Now Bai Liqiang frowned whenever he heard Bai Ruoxin's name, "Mom, my second sister is getting married tomorrow, so please don't bother me by mentioning my eldest sister."
Before coming here, I received a letter from Bai Ruoxin. What was in the letter? It was just complaints and asking for money. Li Qiulan sent another twenty yuan, but Bai Liqiang could see that his mother was not happy either, because Bai Ruozhen had been asking for money or complaining for more than half a year since he left.
Li Qiulan glared, "I won't say anything more."
However, she also sighed in the letter, saying that among her five children, being the eldest was the most troublesome.
After visiting the educated youth site, Li Qiulan and the children temporarily lived in the educated youth site. Fortunately, the weather was not cold and the kang was spacious, so Li Qiulan and Bai Ruoyun did not feel crowded. Bai Liqiang was arranged to live in the male educated youth site. They were all children from the city and could talk to each other.
At night, Bai Ruozhen was extremely nervous and uneasy. He lay on the kang for half the night without falling asleep. At dawn the next day, Bai Ruozhen was woken up by Li Qiulan to take a shower in the backyard. As soon as he finished taking a shower, he heard the sound of a bicycle outside, and then he heard Gu Changqing's loud voice.
"Zhenzhen, let's go get the certificate."
My goodness, I guess the whole village heard it.
Gu Laowu is going to get married.
