Chapter 99: Marrying a Daughter with the Blessings of Eight Generations
Two days later, Gu Xiaojiao and Zheng Yunxiao finally returned to Yuexiao Village after a long journey.
When we arrived at the village, it was already dark.
They first put the luggage back into their own courtyard, and then, carrying torches and the things they had bought in the county town, returned to Gu Gang's home.
Gu Xiaogan and Xie Jinxiang were enjoying the cool in the yard at the moment. When they saw Gu Xiaojiao and Zheng Yunxiao coming into the yard with torches, the old couple both stood up from their chairs.
"Dad, Mom." Gu Xiaojiao shouted.
Zheng Yun followed and shouted: "Dad, Mom."
The two walked to Gu Xiaogan and Xie Jinxiang. Xie Jinxiang wiped her tears and grabbed Gu Xiaojiao's hand:
"My girl, why have you lost so much weight? You must have suffered a lot in Yanjing. What disease do you have? You must have suffered a lot!"
This time, Gu Xiaojiao dressed more fashionably and looked much better than before, but Xie Jinxiang didn't notice it at all.
He just held Gu Xiaojiao's hand and looked at her thin and pointed chin with pain.
During the time in Yanjing, Gu Xiaojiao ran back and forth between the hospital quadrangle, trying to finish her manuscript and take care of Zheng Yun, and she was extremely busy.
After more than a month, she was indeed much thinner than before.
However, she has a plump figure to begin with, so being thinner doesn't make her look frail. On the contrary, she looks slimmer than before.
The white skirt she wore made her waist look slender and easy to look away.
Seeing Xie Jinxiang burst into tears, Gu Xiaojiao felt so painful that she held Xie Jinxiang's hand and sat on several benches made of wooden blocks in the middle of the yard.
"Mom, I'm all well again. Didn't I tell you to ask Captain Xie to read the letter I sent you?"
"I read it. The letter said that you and your son-in-law will be transferred to work in Yanjing this time when you come back. Is this true?"
While the mother and the two were talking, Zheng Yun and Gu Xiaogan stood in the corner, and the father and the other two started chatting in a low voice against the wall.
After Xie Jinxiang confirmed with Gu Xiaojiao that she was indeed going to Yanjing, she couldn't help but sigh heavily.
When she first heard that Gu Xiaojiao was going to work in Yanjing, she felt very proud.
But after the passion faded, Xie Jinxiang began to feel lost.
Yanjing is so far away, if Gu Xiaojiao really goes there, how long will it take for her to see her child again?
Gu Xiaojiao looked at Xie Jinxiang's appearance and knew what she was thinking. In her previous life, when Gu Xiaojiao followed Zheng Yun into the city, she had a sad look on her face.
At that time, Gu Xiaojiao only wanted to go to the city happily with Zheng Yun, and did not pay much attention to the state of her parents.
Now Gu Xiaojiao naturally wouldn't let Xie Jinxiang worry about this matter, she said:
"Mom, when I settle down in Yanjing, I will take you and dad over. You don't have to worry. It won't take too long."
"What are we going to do?" Xie Jinxiang said, shaking her head: "Your father and I both have rural household registration. If we go to Yanjing, we will be illegal residents, which means you have to support two living people for nothing.
It's pretty good in the countryside, at least you can farm a little. The conditions have been getting better and better in recent years, and you can barely make ends meet. Why go to Yanjing to add to your burden?
By the way, I haven’t asked you yet, why are you and your son-in-law both able to work in Yanjing? Did your son-in-law’s family use their connections to get you two there? "
It was Gu Xiaojiao's decision to bring Gu Xiaogan and Xie Jinxiang to her side to support them. When Xie Jinxiang disagreed, Gu Xiaojiao didn't say much. Anyway, when the time came, the old couple wouldn't be able to persuade Gu Xiaojiao.
It's just that Gu Xiaojiao still needs to explain the matter of entering the city to Xie Jinxiang.
"Mom, I'm going to the city because the editor-in-chief Ye who came to the newspaper last time, and the editor-in-chief of Yanjing Daily, want me to work at the newspaper.
The job of Zheng Yunru was found for her by us in order to keep me. Of course, only when Zheng Yunru returned to the city could I go to work at the newspaper.
As you know, to work in the city, one must have a non-agricultural household registration. I had to rely on the cloud to transfer my household registration. "
"So that's how it is." After hearing what Gu Xiaojiao said, Xie Jinxiang's brows relaxed a little.
Before, it was rumored in the village that Gu Xiaojiao relied on Zheng Yun to transform from a sparrow into a phoenix and entered the city.
If those people knew that it was her daughter who took Zheng Yunlu away, she would slap them in the face.
Zheng Yunxiao and Gu Xiaojiao, one talking to their father and the other to their mother, quickly explained the whole story.
Now, Gu Xiaogan felt proud. What did he say at the beginning? The daughter of the Xiao family is more than qualified to be a good match for Zheng Yun.
Look at the present situation. How many educated youth have been looking forward to returning to the city but have no chance. Gu Xiaojiao not only found a job for herself in the city, but also brought Zheng Yunxiao along.
Being able to marry Gu Xiaojiao was a blessing that Zheng Yun had cultivated for eight generations.
In fact, although Gu Xiaogan said that he supported Gu Xiaojiao, he was worried in his heart that his family was not well off and Gu Xiaojiao would be looked down upon after marrying Zheng Yun.
Now Gu Gang has finally put aside the pain in his heart.
For someone like Gu Jiao, who can find a wife with a stable job in Yanjing, many families would be eager to marry her.
After the couple explained everything to Gu Xiaogan and Xie Jinxiang, Gu Xiaojiao asked Zheng Yun to bring the snakeskin bag she was carrying to Gu Xiaogan and Xie Jinxiang.
The snakeskin bag was filled to the brim with stuff.
Gu Xiaojiao gave all the meat that Zheng Yunxiao had obtained to her parents, as well as some canned food, biscuits, and White Rabbit milk candies that were about to expire and were bought in the city.
The reason why she bought food that was about to expire was not because Gu Xiaojiao wanted to save money, but because she knew that if the food was not about to expire, her parents would never eat it.
In her previous life, after Gu Xiaojiao brought Gu Xiaogan and Xie Jinxiang to the city, she almost never bought fresh fruit. She only bought the kind that had been stored for a long time and would rot if left any longer.
Only in this way, the frugal old couple would be willing to share those foods with Gu Xiaojiao in order to avoid waste.
In her previous life, Gu Xiaojiao had not corrected her parents' habits.
Now, just like them, there is no way to change their thinking in a short period of time.
I can only try my best to cater to them.
The remaining shelf life of these foods is short, and we will definitely eat them all.
This was the experience that Gu Xiaojiao gained in her previous life.
Fortunately, at this time, the country is very strict with food, and the products are all genuine and good. As long as they have not exceeded the shelf life, they are edible.
In addition to the meat and snacks, Gu Xiaojiao also planned to go to the town to buy some rice, flour and oil for her parents to store for use the next day.
The journey to Yanjing was long, and Gu Xiaojiao was worried that she would not have time to come back, so before leaving, she had to make arrangements for her parents' lives.
In addition, Gu Xiaojiao took out two hundred yuan and handed it to Xie Jinxiang. In fact, she wanted to give a little more.
But she knew that no matter how much she gave, Xie Jinxiang would definitely not accept it.
Anyway, I will give you more in the future, so I'll just give you two hundred first so that you can handle the emergency when you have it.
Gu Xiaojiao persuaded Xie Jinxiang a lot to accept the two hundred yuan, but she still accepted it. However, she said that she would help Gu Xiaojiao save the money.
Gu Xiaojiao didn't expect her parents to be willing to spend money on her, but she was afraid that they would need money urgently and she would not be able to come back in time.
So Xie Jinxiang was able to take the money, and Gu Xiaojiao's bottom line had been let go.
After explaining the matter clearly, the couple got up and went home. Xie Jinxiang said she wanted to cook dinner for them, but Gu Xiaojiao refused.
It was already dark, and I had to use a kerosene lamp to cook, which was inconvenient. Besides, there were some leftover dumplings from the train ride at home that could fill my stomach.
Besides, Gu Xiaojiao and Zheng Yun were really tired from sitting in the car.
We just wanted to go back early, take a shower and rest.
When the young couple came out of Gu Xiaogan and Xie Jinxiang's house, it was already quite dark.
Two people holding torches were walking on a country road. The torches shone brightly in the night, just like their future, brilliant and bright.
In their previous life, Zheng Yunxiao and Gu Xiaojiao lived as husband and wife in the countryside for a year. They didn't expect that in their new life, they would say goodbye to the countryside so soon. Zheng Yunxiao couldn't help feeling a little emotional when she thought about it.
"Jiaojiao, I have always wanted to leave the countryside. Now that I am really leaving, I suddenly feel a little reluctant. Every time I come home from work and see you busy in the fireworks, I feel so happy!"
"I can't bear to leave. When we get old, we'll come back and take care of our old age. The old man supports the old woman. I laugh at you for losing all your hair, and you laugh at me for getting old and gray."
