Although it is troublesome to go down and get it every day when they need it, it is already a very happy situation for them.

They were the five black categories and the stinking ninth category. I remember the first year they came, in the middle of winter, Zhong Zijun finally dug through the snow and got some dead branches to heat the kang, but they were all stolen that night.

The new quilts, warm clothes and food they brought were all stolen.

It was despair at the time. No one would stand up for them and would just say they deserved it.

Crying to the sky, no one answers; calling to the earth, no one responds.

Fortunately, there was a tattered quilt, and the clothes on our bodies kept warm.

The whole family had nothing to eat or drink and lay on the cold kang, waiting to die.

Zhong Zijun had just been stabbed in the back by Gu Yunchuan, and he faced a severe shock in life. He was depressed and should have died that winter.

But for the sake of his wife and daughter, Zhong Weiqian lost face and went to the village secretary to kneel down and beg for mercy, asking the village to give She some food.

The village chief had a bit of kindness in his heart, seeing that it was not easy for an old man like him, he at least gave him 100 kilograms of potatoes, 100 kilograms of sweet potatoes and 100 kilograms of cabbage, which were the most abundant things in the village.

The three-member family relied on these 300 kilograms of coarse grains to survive the long winter and usher in the spring.

Therefore, if they have such a life, they are really content.

Ji Linhai also helped build this cellar. Zhong Zijun alone could not have done it.

When Zhong Zijun introduced their secret base to Gu Qinghuan, he felt a little guilty.

Thinking back carefully, Ji Linhai had actually done a lot for her quietly, but she didn't know what her father was thinking at the time and accepted it as a matter of course.

If I think about it, I feel like I got an advantage and then took it for granted, which is not very nice of me.

Gu Qinghuan had already seen a lot from Zhong Zijun's expression and eyes.

In fact, from her own perspective, she thinks it doesn't matter whether there is a man or not, as a woman can live a good life on her own.

땤And Zhong Zijun also has her daughter 녦뀪 to help her.

But she forgot that not everyone is her, and not everyone does not need a partner and company.

When she saw what Ji Linhai had done silently for Zhong Zijun just now, she was moved, and at the same time, she suddenly realized that no matter whether it was herself or Lanting, they had done too little and thought too little for Zhong Zijun.

In this long life, she should live for herself once.

It would actually be nice if there was someone who was truly good to her, who could live with her, take care of her, and accompany her until old age.

In fact, Gu Qinghuan can also see these days that Ji Linhai is sincere to Zhong Zijun. The truth is revealed in the details, and a person's thoughts are hidden in his actions and details.

Ji Linhai might not be good at expressing himself, but he would never let Zhong Zijun suffer with him.

In fact, at their age, it is lucky to find a true love to spend the rest of their lives together.

Especially since Ji Linhai has never been married, has no children, and has a simple family relationship with only an elderly father.

It is indeed a very good candidate, but it depends on Zhong Zijun's opinion.

She didn't beat around the bush and called Zhong Zijun to a place where there was no one, and asked directly: "Mom, what do you think about Uncle Ji?"

Zhong Zijun's eyes were a little evasive. Her daughter was already married, but she was having her first spring break. She was a little embarrassed to face her child.

"It's nothing, don't think too much about it." She said subconsciously.

"Mom, I can see that Uncle Ji is serious about you.

He is a reliable person, if you are willing to accept him, no objection.

What I want to tell you is that no matter how old you are or what situation you are in, you have the right to pursue a better life, enjoy love and be loved.

I hope you don’t worry about us. As your daughter, I will only bless you.” Gu Qinghuan said seriously.

The sincerity and blessing in her daughter's eyes broke Zhong Zijun's defense, and tears immediately burst out.

So many years of forbearance, pain, suffering and torture had already made her numb, and when faced with difficulties she would just shrink like a turtle.

Her daughter's encouragement completely broke down the high wall she had built in her heart.

I think she was a bright and beautiful woman back then, but time has brought too many heavy shackles to her.

Countless times I woke up in the middle of the night, hating myself for being blind and wanting to tear apart the painful past.

But she never regretted having these two children. They were the last bit of salvation in her dark life.

Gu Qinghuan gently hugged her mother.

In fact, there were many times when she really wished that Zhong Zijun was her biological mother.

I can’t imagine how happy it would be to be her child.

But it doesn’t matter. The mother-daughter bond that we didn’t have in the first half of our lives can be made up for in the second half.

Zhong Zijun wiped away her tears and said a little embarrassedly: "Your uncle Ji is very good, but it is too early to talk about our situation now.

Don't worry, I have my own opinion, I'll just let it go."

Gu Qinghuan nodded. As long as Zhong Zijun knew her attitude, it would be enough. As for what was going on between them, as a daughter, she would not interfere and would only give her blessings.

When they first returned to her parents' home, they spent the whole day in the cowshed.

Xu Huaian looked for work everywhere. After shoveling the cow dung, he used melted snow water to rinse the entire cowshed.

Ji Linhai carefully divided the cowshed into two areas: one side was where the livestock lived, and the other side was where the dogs lived.

Although there is still a smell, at least it can be isolated a little and it is not bad if I clean it every day.

Xu Huai'an helped with some hammering and repair work.

The two of them stayed until the afternoon before returning.

In the following days, I spent time with my children and made delicious meals at home.

Time passed quietly, and before we knew it, it was the tenth day of the Lunar New Year.

During this period, Xu Huaian found an opportunity to go to the county town and call Zhuo Yifan.

Zhuo Yifan was not surprised that he agreed to let him report to the Beijing National Defense Department after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The specific position has not been announced yet, but from what he said, he wanted him to take the lead in forming a special forces team.

In short, you have to go there to find out. Some things cannot be explained clearly over the phone.

This means that after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Xu Huaian will leave.

Gu Lanting and Ming Ruxue went back to continue their classes after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Zhong Luoxi also took Xiao Youran back to Beijing to find a job.

Let's just make an appointment to go together so we can look after each other.

I booked a train ticket for the tenth day of the first lunar month. This time, without Ming Ruxue's help, Xu Huaian took out his discharge certificate and managed to get two sleeper berth tickets and two hard seat tickets.

But it was enough. Zhong Luoxi and Ming Ruxue could sleep in the berth, and the two grown men, Xu Huaian and Gu Lanting, could sit in the hard seats.

After arranging the trip, everyone started to feel depressed.

I don’t know when we will be able to get together like this again.

This period of time is really the happiest time of all in these years.
