Chapter 107
This old house is a very common quadrangle courtyard in Yunshui County. When you open the door, you can see the mottled carvings on the hanging flower door. The yard is not very large and is paved with green bricks. The layout looks very refreshing. There are three clean brick and tile houses, a small kitchen in the north, and a small wing in the back. There is a tap water pipe on the east side of the yard, and a stone washbasin below. There are two wooden barrels in the corner of the wall, which seem to be used for fetching water at home.
Lin Yao was surprised and said, "Is there running water in this yard?"
Gu Doudou arrived at the new house and jumped out of his father's arms in a hurry. He strolled in the yard with his short legs. Gu Shian was behind him to protect him and explained.
"The water plant in our county has just been built. It is the closest to this old city. In a while, our compound will also be able to get running water."
Lin Yao nodded happily. Life will be much more convenient after running water.
There is a small vegetable garden of several acres to the west of the small courtyard. It used to be lush and green, but now no one takes care of it. The weeds are growing wildly and it looks a bit desolate.
Lin Yao looked around and went into the house. The main room was bright and the sunlight came in, which made people feel bright. The remaining two rooms also had good light. Even the kitchen had two small windows. However, no one had lived there for a long time. There was a thick layer of dust in the house and the window paper was tattered.
There is a toilet built with bricks at the southwest corner. Lin Yao thought that after moving in, she would have to find a mason to fix the toilet. Apart from other things, she must not rush in with a flashlight like she did in a big courtyard.
She told Gu Shian about her idea, and he just smiled but said nothing. When Lin Yao saw the brand new wooden door of the toilet, she found that all the facilities in the toilet, such as squat toilets and water tanks, were installed.
Lin Yao was overjoyed and rushed over to give Deputy Director Gu a kiss as a reward.
Lin Yao tried to withdraw after a brief kiss, but Deputy Director Gu was unwilling. The man's arms were strong and powerful, and he could easily hold her in a princess hug, deepening the kiss.
Lin Yao cried out "Ah!" and was so frightened that she climbed her two white and tender arms onto his shoulders.
This kiss made Lin Yao breathless, and her red lips were so tempting. Gu Doudou ran over with a look of surprise on his face. On the way home, he kept pestering his mother to ask what delicious food he had eaten and
why she didn't give it to him.
"………"
The house allocated to the family used to belong to the county cultural bureau. When the county cultural bureau moved, the family compound also moved with it to the new city area. No one has lived in this house for several years. The comrades in the county public security bureau were worried about housing, so the old director applied to the county leaders several times, and the county leaders allocated a piece of house for the comrades to settle down. The old house allocated to the Gu family is quite good overall, except that the tiles on the roofs of several houses were blown off. We need to find a craftsman to repair it, whitewash it, put in some new furniture, and let it air out. It will take some time before we can move in.
After a few autumn rains, the weather was cold in the early morning. Zhang Cuilan took out her son's autumn clothes and put them on Gu Shidong. She found that not only were the sleeves of the autumn clothes too narrow, but the pants were also half an inch shorter.
When she left the house in the morning, Comrade Cuilan was still grumbling that she had to alter her son's pants again.
Lin Yao told her mother-in-law to go to the supply and marketing
cooperative to buy two pieces of cotton cloth when she had time. After the family of three looked at the house, they turned to the supply and marketing cooperative in the north of the city and bought two pieces of soft and comfortable cotton cloth at the supply and marketing cooperative. One piece was navy blue in navy style, and the other was indigo plaid cloth. Both were the most fashionable styles among children in the county.
"Big sister, you have a good eye. These are all good styles from Haishi. You are an old customer and Chunmei's sister-in-law, so I will give you the internal price."
The salesperson of the supply and marketing cooperative wrapped the torn cloth with straw paper while chatting with Lin Yao.
These days, being a salesperson in a supply and marketing cooperative is enviable to outsiders. It is a stable job and the work is easy. You can easily earn 20 yuan a month just by standing here and selling things.
Many salespeople, young and old, pull out balls of wool and knit wool behind the counter when they are at work. They are indifferent to customers. Who said they have stable jobs?
Whether one has a good attitude depends on the person. Gu Chunmei also works in the supply and marketing cooperative, and Comrade Cuilan is a social expert. She has good relations with many sales clerks in the supply and marketing cooperatives in the county. Several times when Xu Xiangqian went to the provincial capital to handle cases, this female sales clerk even asked Big Head Brother to take several packages to her younger brother who was studying in the provincial capital, and it was free. Isn't this more economical than sending parcels?
I owe you a favor. Lin Yao accompanied her mother-in-law several times before. The salespersons at the North City Supply and Marketing Cooperative all knew their family. The saleswoman smiled at the chubby Gu Doudou. The little fat man was sweet and called her "Pretty Auntie". In addition, Lin Yao was also straightforward when buying things. She took a fancy to Deputy Director Gu and paid for her. She was never like some old men who looked at her for a long time, asked questions, and then left with a frown.
They were both married men, but the difference was not a little bit.
Lin Yao picked out some cloth, and then said that she had run out of lamp oil at home, so she bought three pounds of lamp oil. Gu Shian saw that there were candles on the counter, so he simply paid for two bags. If the lamp oil at home ran out and could not be bought for a while, the whole family could not be embarrassed, so it was good to have some in reserve. The saleswoman next to her was envious.
What kind of good man did she marry? How could he be so considerate?
Lin Yao didn't know what the saleswoman was thinking. Thinking that the scented soap at home had run out, she picked out four pieces of jasmine scented soap, Shanghai Bee Flower brand, one yuan and thirty-five cents, three new towels, two pounds of white sugar, and one pound of brown sugar.
With the farewell voice of the saleswoman, the family of three left the supply and marketing cooperative.
There were little kids eating snacks on the street. Gu Doudou smacked his lips and drooled. He looked so cute.
Lin Yao took out a handkerchief and wiped the drool off the fat boy.
Gu Doudou: "Mom, it's delicious, delicious."
Lin Yao suppressed her laughter and said deliberately, "Mom has spent all her money. She has no money left."
The fat boy didn't give up and threw himself into his old father's arms. He imitated his mother and gave Deputy Director Gu a few milky kisses on his handsome face, "Dad, it's delicious."
Gu Shi'an has always been a man of iron will, but he has no resistance to the coquettish fat boy. Gu Doudou rode proudly on his father's shoulders, his two fat legs swaying. The father and son took a detour to the grocery store and weighed half a pound of glutinous rice sticks, a pound of honey, and the milk candy and orange candy that Gu Shidong liked the most. The glutinous rice sticks were also the children's new favorite. They were golden and covered with white sugar. They were crispy, fragrant and sweet.
The family of three went to Guihua Hutong with a lot of bags. On the way, they met Xiao Jia from the Public Security Bureau. He said that there was another case in the county. Deputy Director Gu took the noisy Gu Doudou back to the Public Security Bureau.
Lin Yao walked slowly alone. In early autumn, Guihua Hutong was much cooler than in summer, and there were fewer mosquitoes. At this time of year, the neighbors in the hutong always slept with their windows open. However,
the windows of Gu Chunmei's bedroom were covered with thick red curtains, and the door was also hung with cotton curtains. There was no wind in the room. Gu Chunmei lay in bed covered with a quilt, and her face was visibly pale.
When she saw Lin Yao coming into the room, she was very happy to get out of bed.
Lin Yao asked her to lie on the bed. Seeing that she looked bad, she slowly lay down holding her belly, and couldn't help but worry, "Why do you look like this? You don't have the strength to walk, how can you have a baby?"
Gu Chunmei sighed, "I don't know. It wasn't like this when I was pregnant with Tangyuan. I could eat and drink. When I was pregnant with Lao Er, I vomited everything I ate. I couldn't eat anything, and I couldn't stand the cold. Eating something sour can
make your appetite better." Lin Yao tucked her quilt, "My uncle sent half a basket of dried hawthorns in front. I'll go home and make a jar of hawthorn cakes to whet your appetite."
"Okay, I'm willing to eat sour food."
Gu Chunmei's pregnancy was unstable. When she went to her grandson's house, Lin Hongna, who was pregnant, was also very upset.
Sun Jialiang, that bastard, went to the guesthouse to get a room with a young girl from the art troupe that he hooked up with. Ever since Lin Hongna got pregnant, Sun Jialiang couldn't control his lust and used sweet words to seduce the young girl to have fun at night. Unexpectedly, the girl from the art troupe was not a pushover either. She was as bad as Sun Jialiang. She said she was single, but in fact she had a fiancé in the county.
On the day that Sun Jialiang and the girl from the art troupe went to get a room, someone reported it to the girl's fiancé. The fiancé, with a green grassland on his head, was furious and immediately took his whole family to the guesthouse to catch the adulterer.
In the guesthouse, Sun Jialiang had just taken off his pants and was still bare-legged when the group of people who broke into the house pressed him to the ground and beat him up. The woman from the art troupe was so scared that she turned around and tried to run away, but was caught by her fiancé's sister. She was slapped twice, and the corners of the woman's mouth were bleeding. Well, after this beating, the two people who were so arrogant just now immediately became honest. The fiancé's family knew that this couple had been together three months ago.
Now the authorities are cracking down on lifestyle issues. Sun Jialiang and his wife are guilty of hooliganism and will be severely punished if they are caught.
The fiancé was cheating on her, so naturally he would not let Sun Jialiang and his wife off so easily. He beat them up and reported the case to the police station.
As soon as the county police station received the report, the glorious police comrades and the idle inspection team were all dispatched. The inspection team members were so idle recently that they couldn't catch anyone in the black market, and they couldn't find any trace of them even when they tried to find some small vendors on the street. They all hid like cats that smelled fish. This group of people were so idle that they almost grew hair. When
the inspection team leader heard that the two unlucky guys were caught renting a room in a guesthouse, he immediately became as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He put on the big red armband on his arm and led his brothers to set off.
What are you going to do? Of course, they would take the two idiots and lock them up, and then drag them out to have sex the next morning!
