On the way back, Gu Qinghuan deliberately avoided the crowd and quietly went to the cowshed in the next village to visit his grandparents.
It was almost time, so I took the supplies for them in advance and stuffed them into the bag, and took out ten more pieces of rice and ten more pieces of flour and put them in the other hand. If I could carry them, I would have taken more.
The two were cleaning the feces of the cows. When they saw her coming, they looked around and only pulled her in after seeing that there was nothing there.
"Why are you here again? Is everything okay at home?" Cheng Shuying asked nervously.
"Everything is fine. Today is Spring Festival, so I'm going to bring you some food and daily necessities." Gu Qinghuan said as he took out things.
"Autumn Festival? Yes, look at me. I don't even know how long I will live. I'm getting old.
You kid, why do you take so many things? Put them away and take them back to feed your grandson, son-in-law and the two children. We two old people can eat anything, and the children need to grow up. " Cheng Shuying saw the things she brought and hurriedly stopped her.
"Grandma, we're still home. This portion is for you. Normally, we should get together as a family tonight, but considering that we just got together a few days ago, it would be easy to be discovered if we get together too frequently.
So I just sent the ingredients to you, but you have to trouble grandma to cook it herself.
This is kelp. After soaking it, cut it into shreds and eat it cold.
Moon cakes are rare, so you can have them once in a while and taste them.
There were also hairtail, dried salted fish and shrimps which were specials for holidays, so I bought some of those as well.
This perch is suitable for my hometown. It can be steamed and has no bones.
Oh, and I have a carp for you to make soup with. It's a little extra, but the weather is getting colder, so it won't go bad. You can keep it and eat it slowly. Don't be reluctant to throw it away, or it will go bad. "
Gu Qinghuan took it while explaining everything in detail.
Seeing that she insisted, Cheng Shuying did not refuse.
"Thank you for your hard work, Huanhuan. Don't send these anymore in the future. Be careful that your son-in-law will be unhappy. We are much better off now, and the work is easier." Cheng Shuying touched her granddaughter's black hair with heartache.
"Don't worry, these are all Xu Huai'an's ideas, and I have also created value myself, so it's not like I'm eating for free."
Cheng Shuying and Zhong Weiqian didn't try to keep her, after all, the bullpen wasn't a good place.
Gu Qinghuan was about to go home after delivering the things. As he was walking on the road, he bumped into Duan Shengfa, and there was a young boy next to him.
Duan Shengfa quickly sent away the young man next to him and pulled Gu Qinghuan aside to talk.
"Comrade Gu, are you here to visit grandpa and grandma again?"
"Yes, today is autumn. I wish you a happy holiday."
"Happy holidays. By the way, I have news about the thing you asked me to inquire about last time." Duan Shengfa said in a low voice.
"Really? What is it?" Gu Qinghuan didn't expect to hear the news so soon.
"It's Wang the Cripple from our village. He's an old bachelor with a congenital disability on his legs. He's over 40 years old and still hasn't married. He doesn't do any work and always flirts with widows.
He got drunk yesterday and told you in person that he had a crush on your mother and had tried to do something bad to her several times, but she always dodged him and scolded him for being shameless.
He was unwilling to be rejected by a stinky old man from the cowshed, so he took advantage of your mother working on the slope and pushed her down from behind.
Duan Shengfa knew about this because the man who drank with Wang Quezi was his cousin within the fifth degree of mourning, and his father told him about it.
Duan Shengfa even specifically warned him not to leak it.
Gu Qinghuan felt distressed, uncomfortable and depressed.
She only knew that life in the cowshed was hard, but she forgot that Zhong Zijun was actually not old, only forty years old, dignified and beautiful, with good temperament. A woman like this would easily be targeted by criminals if she fell into the dust.
I don't know how she managed to get through these few days. She had to take care of her elderly mother, endure heavy labor, and take care of her children. It must have been very difficult, but she didn't reveal a single thing. She definitely didn't want to worry them.
Wang the Cripple, right?
The courage to be retaliated against if you dare to harm me.
She has decided on this one.
Duan Shengfa saw that she was silent and had a sullen face, so he called out, "Niece? Comrade Gu?"
"Ah? Captain Duan, I understand. Thank you for telling me this, otherwise I would still be in the dark.
This is a little gift from me, please don't mind it." After saying that, Gu Qinghuan took out twenty yuan from his pocket, or actually from his space, and quickly stuffed it into Duan Shengfa's hand.
When Duan Shengfa felt the thickness, he knew that she was definitely not old, and he smiled so much that wrinkles appeared on his face: "My niece, you are too polite."
But he put the money into his pocket at a fast speed.
This young clerk is quite good at managing things. He has made a lot of money from her. It's a pity that he won't have the chance to make money in the future.
"Captain Duan Xiao, see you later and have a happy holiday." Gu Qinghuan turned around gracefully holding a sack.
No matter how angry she was inside, she didn't show it on her face and smiled calmly.
Duan Shengfa thought to himself, could it be that he had misunderstood? Wasn't this girl looking for revenge?
It was not until a month later that he heard that Wang Cuzi got drunk and rolled down a slope, breaking his other leg. Only then did he realize that a dog that bites doesn't bark.
No matter what, this is a tit-for-tat for the ๊ทธ family.
He admired this girl very much. She was brave, resourceful and ruthless.
-
Here, Gu Qinghuan took something out of the space, stuffed it into his pocket and carried it up.
Now that Xu Huaian was gone, she didn't dare to go out of the house to get it, for fear of being caught by him and exposing herself.
It can only be brought up early.
Sure enough, she met Xu Huaian as soon as she entered the village carrying the heavy objects. He was sitting on a stone at the entrance of the mill, as if waiting for her.
Seeing her figure, he walked over without saying anything and took the thing from her hand: "Give it to me!"
Gu Qinghuan was naturally relieved. Although he gave a small half to his grandfather and others, the remaining things were not light at all.
Xu Huaian weighed the sack and found it was quite heavy. He knew she would not buy just a little. If he had known this earlier, he should have gone with her.
I don't know how she carried such a large sack of stuff back. Her shoulder was injured.
"Didn't you say you would only buy a little? Does your shoulder injury still hurt?" Xu Huaian asked with a hint of resentment.
Gu Qinghuan touched his head awkwardly and smiled foolishly: "I accidentally bought a little too much. Fortunately, I have a good physique and the wound has healed almost completely."
This is true. In fact, I just scraped a layer of oily skin on my shoulder. Except for the shocking first day, I applied ointment and used Lingquan to help, and the scab has already formed.
"I don't mind that you bought too much. I'm just afraid that you won't be able to carry it and will tear the wound open again." Xu Huaian explained, worried that she might misunderstand.
"Isn't this you? You even came to the village entrance to pick me up. I'm so thoughtful." Gu Qinghuan said deliberately in a teasing manner.
The two of them walked home talking and laughing, looking just like an old married couple. Anyone who saw them would think they were a perfect match.
