Chapter 84
In the afternoon, the shadows of the trees in the courtyard were dancing, especially with the heat of the autumn. Lin Yao had nothing to do these days, so he picked the mint leaves transplanted from Gujiaao in the spring, dried them, and made a pot of mint ice honey water every day, and then put a plate of snacks. That boy had a really comfortable life.
Gu Chunmei just started talking when she felt thirsty. The two sisters were busy picking vegetables and making dumplings.
Lin Yao brought her a pot of mint honey water and a plate of mung bean cakes. The cool honey water and mung bean cakes were just right.
Gu Chunmei ate the mung bean cakes and drank the mint water. At Lin Yao's urging, she cleared her throat and started talking.
In the past, the chaos in the old Sun family was mostly related
to Lin Daguo's family. This time, the Sun family had nothing to do with Lin Daguo's family.
Since Li Aifeng stole things from the old Sun family and was sent to the farm for transformation,
Lin Daguo and his son were scared to death and stayed in the village honestly, not daring to go out easily.
The Sun family was really quiet for a while.
The old director of the light bulb factory in the front town retired, and Sun's father naturally became the new director and secretary of the factory.
Sun's mother finally got what she wanted and became the wife of the factory director. She put on a high profile in front of outsiders, and the food and supplies at home also improved. During the famine years, the food of Sun's family was only average. There was nothing good in the county at that time. Sun's mother had money in her hands, but she couldn't go to the pigeon market because of her status.
Now that the famine has just passed, Sun's mother is in high spirits and buys whatever is fashionable outside, such as Caesar cakes, Russian sausages, woolen sweaters, etc.
She wears whatever the wives of cadres in big cities wear and drinks whatever they drink.
It didn't matter if the town was remote and couldn't buy anything. If there was nothing in the town, they could go to the county. If there was nothing in the county, they would wait for Sun Jialiang and his father to go on business trips to the provincial capital or a big city. Whatever Sun's mother wanted to buy, she would make a list for the father and son, and they had to buy it even if they didn't eat after work. Sun
's mother had been pretending to be nice to her husband and son all her life, and she had just the right control over the father and son.
These things were just food and daily necessities, and Sun's mother would just eat and wear them and forget about it, and there would be no way outsiders would catch her.
In addition, Sun's father repeatedly told Sun's mother not to wear woolen sweaters and small leather shoes outside, and to join the broad masses of revolutionary people and live a simple life.
Sun's mother was naturally willing to listen to her old man's words, but it was hard to say how much she listened.
Grandmother is middle-aged, but she also likes to be coquettish. She sees young and beautiful girls who look very pretty with just two braids and no makeup.
Especially when grandfather comes back, he will occasionally praise them, saying that the young female workers in the factory look beautiful with red lips and white teeth when they smile. Grandmother feels sour and has a sense of crisis.
There are several young and beautiful cultural workers in the light bulb factory. If the old grandson is seduced by a young scoundrel in the factory, the factory director's wife and the good life they have now will be gone.
In order to demonstrate, grandma went to a state-owned barber shop to get her hair permed, put on thick bangs at home, drew mountain eyebrows, put on lip balm, and went to deliver lunch to grandpa in leather shoes.
In fact, she used the excuse of delivering lunch to warn those vixens.
- Her grandson is already taken, you little hooves stay away!
It is unknown whether grandma's purpose of making a show of force was successful, but some people with ulterior motives caught her and wrote a letter of complaint to the Yunshui County Light Bulb Factory, reporting that the factory director's family had problems with their lifestyle.
As a result, grandpa was suspended for investigation just a few days after taking office because of grandma's suspicion.
What made Sun's mother even more crazy was that she was in a trance when she went down the stairs. She didn't see the road clearly and accidentally fell on the stairs, breaking her thigh. She couldn't even walk and had to go to the hospital to get a plaster cast. She had to rely on Sun Jialiang to carry her back and forth.
Gu Chunmei finished her chattering and filled herself a cup with water from the kettle. She put it in her mouth and smacked it. "It doesn't taste sweet anymore. Yaoyao, give me another piece of rock sugar!"
Lin Yao was just sighing that Sun's father was really unlucky and had troubled Sun's mother for nothing.
When she heard Gu Chunmei calling her in a waiter's voice, she quickly got up and took rock sugar from the sugar jar.
After Lin Yao finished eating Sun's melon, the two sisters chattered about family matters again.
Gu Chunmei said that with the addition of Xu Tangyuan, the three tiled houses in the Xu family were no longer enough, and Xu's father planned to renovate the living room and use it as a bedroom for his grandson when he grew up.
Xu's mother disagreed, saying that there would not be only Tangyuan, the little monkey, in the family. What if there were two or three more little monkeys in the future? How could one house be enough? It would be better to invite a bricklayer to build two more rooms. Besides, if the living room was converted into a bedroom, where would they entertain guests in the future? They couldn't just put a table in the yard, right?
Xu's father thought about it and agreed.
As for Xu Xiangqian, he was very content with his son. After work, he would either wash diapers for Comrade Tang Yuan or hold his son in his arms. The father and son would talk to each other, and they looked even more like a filial father than Deputy Director Gu.
Xu's father planned to demolish the shed in the middle of the yard, combine the east and west, pave the ground with green bricks, build two red brick houses, move the vegetable field in the west to the east, and plant a few fruit trees.
Lin Yao suggested, "If there is a lack of meat at home, we can fence off a piece of land as a rabbit nest and raise two rabbits to give birth to babies."
Gu Chunmei had eaten a lot of rabbit meat raised by the old Gu family, whether it was stewed, braised, or made into spicy rabbit meat, the taste would make people drool.
Gu Chunmei immediately made the decision.
"That's a good idea, Yaoyao, you have good vision. When these little rabbits grow up, leave me two good ones for Datou to take back!"
Lin Yao said, no problem.
In the evening of autumn in Yunshui County, the cool breeze blew on the street. When it was time to get off work, workers from various factories, some pushing bicycles, some walking with cloth bags, walked home in groups of three or two. The county
public security bureau was not busy today. At half past five, a group of young men from the public security bureau pushed their bicycles and ran out.
Xu Xiangqian held a dogtail grass in his mouth and leaned on the car shed, waiting for Gu Shi'an to go home together. As a result, he waited for a long time and did not see anyone coming.
He took two steps forward, and unexpectedly saw a young girl who had just joined the Public Security Bureau. She was shyly talking to Gu Shian, and seemed to have taken out a letter from her bag?
This is... a love letter? ! !
Xu Xiangqian's eyes widened.
My God, Old Gu, we have a family and a job, we have to control ourselves.
It was obvious that Big Head Brother was overthinking. The girl secretly glanced at Gu Shian. Deputy Director Gu was still the same as usual, with his handsome face as cold and expressionless as always, and his heart was in turmoil. Sure enough
, Gu Shian had a cold expression and it was unknown what he said.
The girl's eyes immediately turned red. Maybe she felt embarrassed. She stomped her feet, threw her braid and ran away, covering her face.
Xu Xiangqian made a "tsk" sound. He had no sympathy for such a girl.
Knowing that she already had a wife and children, she still approached her. To put it bluntly, she was shameless .
It's true, a good girl can find any kind of boy, but she has to look at a man who doesn't belong to her.
Besides, with your looks and figure, you can't compare to Lin Yao in any way.
Aren't you asking for trouble?
You deserve it!

At around five in the evening, workers in the Dazayuan Hutong went home one after another after work, and the Hutong, which had been quiet all day, suddenly became lively.
Zhang Cuilan and her husband also returned home one after another.
Tonight, Gu Chunmei's family of three returned to her parents' home to eat reunion dumplings. As
soon as Zhang Cuilan entered the house, she saw her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law busy in the kitchen, making a dish made of cabbage and chives. The stuffing was made with vermicelli, shrimp skin and eggs, and a few drops of sesame oil. The stuffing was fragrant. The dough for the dumplings was sorghum flour and white flour, which was considered a two-mixed dumpling. This kind of dumpling looked black, but tasted delicious.
She washed her hands and wanted to go into the house to help.
Lin Yao smiled and invited her out.
The daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law all said that she should rest more, because the family was No need to worry about work.
After hearing this, Comrade Cuilan felt as sweet and warm as if she had drunk sugar water. She moved a stool and sat in the yard, fanning herself with a cattail leaf fan.
Gu Mancang, with his grandson on his left hand and his eldest grandson on his right hand, also grinned happily.
Gu Shidong, a naughty boy, came back with his schoolbag on his back and circled around the two fat boys in the yard.
When Deputy Director Gu arrived, When Big Head Brother and I came back, the kitchen had already laid out three large glutinous rice dumplings, estimated to be about 70 or 80 in total, each with thin skin and big fillings. Big Head Brother brought two bottles of good wine to his father-in-law, and two packs of snacks, washed his hands, and came in to show his courtesy to his wife, "Chunmei, take a rest, the smoke is irritating, don't make my wife feel irritated."
Gu Chunmei added firewood to the stove while looking at him with a squint.
"Dexing, isn't it me and mom who light the fire at home every day? Go away, the dumplings in the house haven't been made yet, come and make them with my brother!"
Big Head Brother muttered.
"A grown man shouldn't go to the kitchen to make dumplings. "
Gu Chunmei, "What did you say? Speak louder, I can't hear you."
Xu Xiangqian's face twitched, and he nodded and bowed in response.
"Nothing, I said my wife is really capable, look at this dumpling, the folds are pinched like flowers, so beautiful."
Gu Chunmei said coldly, "This is not made by me, but by Yaoyao. "
The horse's hoof hit the horse's leg. Big Head Brother: "........"
In the evening, the hot dumplings came out of the pot. The whole family of Gu's family had a big bowl of dumplings each and enjoyed the reunion dinner happily.
Big Head Brother's stomach was full. The three of them hiccuped and returned to Guihua Hutong with two green-skinned watermelons sent by Uncle Zhang.
Lin Yao sent the people back and walked home briskly.
In the kitchen, Xianhui Deputy Director Gu had already washed the dishes and even wiped the big iron pot at home, making it shiny.
Gu Doudou had eaten his fill and slept in the cradle for most of the day. The little boy was full of energy, staring at his big black eyes and eating his fingers to amuse himself. When
Lin Yao returned to the room and saw this scene, her heart softened. She picked up the fat boy and gave him a kiss.
Gu Doudou was kissed by his soft and fragrant mother, and waved excitedly. Waving his chubby little hands and yelling.
Gu Shian came in from the kitchen and saw this scene, and a happy arc appeared on his stern face.
The fat boy was very heavy now. Lin Yao felt his arms were sore after holding him for a while. Seeing someone coming, he naturally gave Gu Doudou to his old father.
Gu Doudou was also very well behaved in Gu Shian's arms, quietly sucking his hands.
Lin Yao was busy all afternoon and was too tired to move. She and the fat son lay on Gu Shian's left and right. The deputy director was in his arms, looking drowsy.
Gu Shian wore a white shirt today. This guy was meticulous as usual, and the top button of his shirt was buttoned tightly.
Lin Yao blinked and stared at someone's sexy Adam's apple. Suddenly, a bold idea popped up in her mind. What if she took a bite?
