She sensed something unusual in his solemn expression, so she thought of preparing something for him.
I put some medicine in a waterproof sealed bag for him, including his usual medicine, some anti-inflammatory medicine to help wounds heal, and antipyretic medicine, etc.
Another thing to do is to give him a small bottle of spiritual spring water in case of emergency.
Xu Huai'an tightly grasped the thing in his hand and said in a hoarse voice: "Okay!"
After the two said goodbye, Gu Qinghuan couldn't sleep, so he got himself ready and secretly made millet porridge in the villa.
Then I plan to go home and see the kids.
Xu Huaian gathered with the team and started his own journey.
-
Zhong Luoqi recovered well and was allowed to go home to recuperate the next day.
Xiao Zhuo also helped drive her back to the small villa.
Xiao Zhuo's mother, Ms. Xiao Fengying, felt quite sorry when she learned that Gu Qinghuan was married.
Lanting School is on winter vacation.
He and Ming Ruxue were both caught by Gu Qinghuan to help take care of the children.
It has been a few days since we moved into the small western-style building, and Gu Qinghuan has been busy all the time, so he hasn't had time to treat everyone to a meal.
She specially arranged a weekend and invited Xiao Zhuo, Xu Lei, He Qiang, Wang Xiaowei and others to come over for a hot pot meal.
I wanted to invite Gu's grandmother to come over for a gathering, but when I arrived, the house was empty. The neighbors said she had gone to the mountain to serve the Buddha.
Gu Qinghuan no longer insisted.
He Qiang hadn't taken off the clipboard in his hand yet, but he looked in good spirits. He even brought mung bean cakes made by his younger brother and sister, as well as some homemade sauerkraut.
It’s no wonder that the pickled cabbage they make is salty and light, with a sour and refreshing taste. It’s quite delicious and perfect for making pickled fish. Gu Qinghuan used it that night.
Inviting Wang Xiaowei was a surprise.
She was so busy every day that she almost forgot about this person. It was only when she suddenly came to return something these two days that she learned about her recent situation.
After the previous period of living in a tube house, Wang Xiaowei finally found a job.
It's a bit embarrassing to say that she is now breastfeeding babies for rich people.
I found this job by accident.
When she was looking for a job before, an old lady saw her holding a baby and asked her how old the baby was and whether her milk was good.
She said the baby is more than three months old and her milk supply is still good.
Then the aunt said, "Girl, to tell you the truth, it is very difficult for you to find a job in your situation with a baby.
But I have something that's perfect for you.
A rich family just gave birth to a child, and the mother had no milk to feed the child, so she went around the world looking for a wet nurse. The requirements were quite high, and she didn't want an old one, and she didn't want one whose child was grown up.
I am telling you this because your child is still young, young, and clean, and just fits the bill. It's up to you whether you go or not.
I heard the salary is quite high.”
Wang Xiaowei was moved by the aunt's words. She had been looking for a job for so long and had long been discouraged. She had planned to return to her hometown with her children if she couldn't find a job. But now her situation had taken a turn for the better.
She took her child to the interview.
The interview location was actually near the small western-style building that I had previously helped Gu Qinghuan clean.
The family looked her over from head to toe and asked a lot of details about her specific situation before finally agreeing to let her breastfeed the baby once.
Maybe the child was really hungry and ate very happily, then fell asleep right after eating. The child's grandparents were very satisfied, so they waved their hands and agreed to let the mother and daughter stay and live in the servant's room on the first floor.
That is, she must take a bath every day, pay attention to hygiene, and feed her own child first.
She thought this was acceptable, after all, the child was still young and couldn't eat much.
For her, this was a perfect job as she could earn money, live in such a nice house, and take care of her children, so she stayed.
She eats with her family every day. Because her milk is nutritious and she produces a lot of milk, it is more than enough to feed two children, and her family is very satisfied.
Moreover, in her free time, she never slacks off, but helps with cleaning and cooking, which makes people very satisfied.
After settling down in this house, she specially sent over the things she had borrowed from Lanting and expressed her gratitude.
He also bought some fruits for them and sent them over. It happened to be the time when Gu Qinghuan was hosting a dinner party, so he invited her along as well.
Wang Xiaowei came here after feeding the baby of the family there.
Xiao Zhuo had planned to come alone, but Xiao Fengying heard that the girl from the hospital was treating them, so she insisted on coming to join in the fun and even prepared a gift on her own initiative.
He had no choice but to agree to let his mother come along.
As soon as the mother and son went out, they ran into Qu Hanwen who came to visit them. It was a rare weekend when Qu Hanwen had some free time, so he came to visit them to keep in touch.
Qu Hanwen had not looked for another woman since his divorce from Xiao Fengying. He was devoted to his career. Although he had achieved success in his career, he just lacked a wife and children to live with.
His parents have passed away, and he is alone. Sometimes when he sees other happy families, he can't help feeling sad.
See, ever since the Xiao family moved back, he has been coming here under the pretext of looking after his son, and shamelessly coming over to eat and drink for free, but his real intention is not to drink.
Xiao Fengying had gone through so much, and in fact, she had forgiven him for most of it. After all, they were both people who were about to pass the halfway mark, so what was there to be upset about?
But he is still unforgiving in words.
Xiao Fengying turned her head away and ignored Qu Hanwen, so Xiao Zhuo could only act as a troublemaker in the meantime.
When Qu Hanwen heard that it was Zhong Weiqian's granddaughter who was treating them, he quickly said that he would go with them.
So the people who came to eat became a family of three, and a lot of gifts were prepared.
Gu Qinghuan was shocked. She didn't know the relationship between Qu Hanwen and Xiao Zhuo, and thought they just happened to meet. It was not until later that she figured out the relationship between the three from some minor details.
Fortunately, she prepared a lot of dishes, so there is no need to worry about more people.
Xu Lei was the last one to arrive. He was very busy right away.
The furniture that Gu Qinghuan had ordered earlier had already been delivered.
Everyone gathered around the big round table and drank together.
Although the identities and status of the people at this table varied greatly, they were all well-educated people, so they still enjoyed the meal very much.
Zhong Luoqing brought a few children to a separate table. She couldn't eat much at the moment, so she just got up to join in the fun and helped Wang Xiaowei hold the children and coax them.
Children are really the purest angels in the world. Their smile can make people forget all their worries.
After eating the dishes made by Gu Qinghuan, Xiao Fengying exclaimed that they were delicious and asked her to teach her when she had time.
Qu Hanwen laughed at her for being older than a young girl.
Xiao Fengying retaliated by stepping hard on her foot under the table.
Xiao Fengying is now quite bored every day. She comes from a prominent family and her ancestors left her more money than she can spend in a lifetime. Apart from shopping with some people of her age, she just eats, drinks and sleeps. She really has no pursuit in life.
Xiao Zhuo strongly agrees with his mother's idea of learning cooking.
On the one hand, it would divert her attention from always focusing on her marriage.
On the other hand, the food cooked by Gu Qinghuan was really delicious. If he could learn how to cook, he would be in for a treat.
Qu Hanwen did ask a few questions about Xu Huaian's situation, but Gu Qinghuan of course did not tell the truth and only said that he was out for a few days.
Xiao Zhuo probably knew a little bit about the situation, so he ate his food in silence without explaining.
Wang Xiaowei was probably feeling a little uncomfortable, so she took her child and left after dinner.
Gu Qinghuan didn't want to keep her, after all, she was still breastfeeding someone else's child. Seeing how she was very careful when eating, not eating spicy food or too sweet food, she guessed that her parents might be very strict with her.
Before leaving, she gave Wang Xiaowei a thick cotton jacket as a return gift because her jacket looked very thin and old.
Wang Xiaowei refused for a while, but finally accepted it with embarrassment.
He Qiangxiao took the opportunity to resign.
Gu Qinghuan gave him some dry goods brought from the Northeast as food. To him, real food was probably more economical than anything else.
There was rice, flour, millet, soybeans, corn grits, etc., filling a bag, estimated to be about 50 kilograms.
He wanted to load more later, but now he only has one hand to use, and fifty kilograms is probably the limit.
He Qiang carried the bag on his shoulder with one hand and thanked Gu Qinghuan again and again.
He really needed these things. Nowadays, food was scarce everywhere, and there were several people in his family who were growing up. These foods could solve his urgent needs.
When Xu Lei came, he brought some snacks made by his wife. They looked extremely exquisite, even more beautiful than those sold on the counter. Gu Qinghuan then realized that his wife was the heiress of a time-honored pastry shop in Beijing.
Unfortunately, her luck was bad and her signature cake is no longer available. But now she still makes some cakes occasionally to send to relatives and friends.
Gu Qinghuan had noticed long ago that although Xu Lei worked in the police station, his family might not be particularly wealthy.
This is a good opportunity to help him.
So when he left, Gu Qinghuan ordered a batch of cakes from him and paid him according to the market price.
Xu Lei originally thought that she was eating it herself and said that he was giving it to her as a gift. However, when he heard that she had ordered such a large amount and had already handed over the deposit, he knew that she was sincere and was so happy that he turned around and told his wife.
His wife started soaking the ingredients overnight.
His job sounds impressive, but he doesn't actually make much. His wife takes care of the children at home and secretly runs a small business, which is how they make ends meet.
It is very difficult to cross the class of the poor. It cannot be done by the efforts of more than one generation. When he was studying, he was sponsored by Zhong Zijun. Although he learned, it is still difficult to make a fortune and become a superior person.
Gu Qinghuan followed suit and sent him some food and daily necessities.
The last ones to leave were Xiao Zhuo's family; they were the last to leave.
Qu Hanwen liked Dabao very much, so he teased him. Unexpectedly, Dabao answered fluently and clearly, which made Xiao Fengying very happy.
Xiao Fengying has long wanted to have a grandson, but her son is almost thirty years old and still not married, which makes her anxious.
