Gu An'an patted the little kid in her arms and signaled him to be quiet.
She limped to Gu Wanwan. Although Gu Wanwan was in poor health, she looked much better than Gu An'an who was about to fall when walking.
Gu Weiqiang, who was standing next to her, saw his eldest daughter become like this, and became more determined about the quota. The eldest daughter was not good at talking, but she was down-to-earth. In his opinion, only the eldest daughter could be admitted to the university, and the younger daughter was not someone who could endure hardship.
Gu Anan stared at Gu Wanwan with her dark eyes until she was exhausted. Then she spoke, "Wanwan, if you want this place, you can just tell your sister. Why let mom come to me? Look, I've been kneeling outside for a long time, but dad and grandma still don't agree. What's the point?" When
she said this, the faces of the people around her changed. This method of retreating to advance was taught to Gu Anan by her mother when she was wronged as a child.
Zhou Aiju's eyes were scrutinizing. After all, she has been teaching for a lifetime and has a lot of knowledge. She thinks more.
Tang Lanzhi wanted to speak for her little daughter, but was pulled back by her own man. Seeing that Gu Weiqiang looked unhappy, she finally lost her temper.
Gu Wanwan was isolated and helpless, and could only defend herself, "Sister, I don't have it."
The little kid next to her rolled his eyes, "You do, I heard you talking to mom, trying to take the eldest sister's place."
Gu Wanwan's face became paler, as if it was her who had been kneeling outside for several hours, not Gu Anan.
Gu Anan pressed on with every word, "Wanwan, if you come to ask me for this place, I will kowtow to my dad and grandma and give it to you."
Gu Weiqiang and Zhou Aiju looked at Gu Anan with obvious disapproval, but they did not hide the pain in their eyes.
Gu Wanwan squatted on the wooden chair, as if she had lost all her strength. With tears in her eyes, she smiled reluctantly, "Sister has good grades, so she should go to the county town to study in high school."
With Gu Wanwan's words, today's farce was over.
As for the quota to study in the city, it fell on Gu Anan. She breathed a sigh of relief, and this hurdle was passed.
Seeing Gu Wanwan's face getting paler and paler, her heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that she was going to faint?
A second before Gu Wanwan fainted, Gu Anan fell down instead. Although the little kid next to her was a boy, he was still young and could not hold her up. He yelled, "Dad, come quickly, my sister fainted." Gu Dongdong and Gu Anan were quite close. Usually, he would call her sister directly, unless Gu Wanwan was there, then he would call her sister to distinguish her. In a hurry, he naturally called her sister.
Gu Weiqiang took a step forward and carried Gu Anan to the warm kang in the west room.
Gu Wanwan, who was about to faint, looked at this scene and was so angry that a mouthful of blood was stuck in her throat. She felt really uncomfortable.
Pretending to faint has always been her strong point. How come that wooden sister suddenly became so smart? Was it her illusion?
Tang Lanzhi called out several times before Gu Wanwan came back to her senses. She leaned on Tang Lanzhi's shoulder and called out aggrievedly, "Mom, do you not like me anymore?"
The little girl frowned and her eyes were slightly red, which made Tang Lanzhi's heart break. She turned her head and glared at the west room, "She dares? If it weren't for the eldest brother, would your health be so poor? This is what the eldest brother owes you."
Tang Lanzhi had three children . The eldest is Gu An'an, the second is Gu Wanwan, and the third is Gu Dongdong. In the early years, Gu An'an was the first daughter of the Gu family. The old lady loved her so much that she took An'an to her side. After the child was finally older, Tang Lanzhi had the second child. Because of Gu An'an, the second child, Gu Wanwan, became a premature baby. Tang Lanzhi had a thorn in her heart and was even more reluctant to take Gu An'an to her side.
As for the newly born Gu Wanwan, she took care of her personally and loved her as if she were her eyeball. She hadn't moved for many years and was always laughed at by her sisters-in-law for not being able to give birth to a boy. Tang Lanzhi was panicked. When Gu Wanwan was seven years old, Tang Lanzhi's belly moved again and gave birth to the fourth room's boy, Gu Dongdong.
But!
She was teaching in the school and had to take care of a sick child, so how could she take care
of the younger one? So, after Gu Dongdong stopped breastfeeding, she threw him to Zhou Aiju to take care of again. It is said that children are close to the person they grew up with. Gu Anan and Gu Dongdong both grew up with Zhou Aiju, so they are naturally close to the old lady.
Gu Wanwan got the answer from her mother. She was secretly happy in her heart, but her face did not change expression. "Mom, I also want to go to the county town to study." It can be said that the whole Gu family's heart is on Gu Wanwan. She
knew from a young age that she was in poor health and how to please her mother to make her life better.
Going to the county town to study is just the first step out of this rural area.
Tang Lanzhi frowned, "Don't worry, Mom will make you happy." But she had to think carefully about how to do it.
After getting a satisfactory answer, Gu Wanwan's mood suddenly became clear.
Besides, Gu Anan was carried into the kang in the west room. She originally planned to pretend to faint, but she didn't expect that she would faint after her body tilted. After all, her body was weak and she was frozen in the snow outside for several hours. It would be strange if she didn't get sick.
Gu Weiqiang put Gu Anan on the bed, and the little kid pulled the quilt at the head of the bed and put it on Gu Anan.
Accidentally touching Gu An'an's forehead, the little kid exclaimed, "Dad, my body is so hot!"
In winter, they were wearing thick clothes, and Gu Weiqiang was a grown man, so he really didn't pay attention. After being reminded by his youngest son at home, he touched the head of the eldest daughter, which was as hot as charcoal, and he was panicking.
He was a little panicked. To be honest, An'an was a child who was resistant to falls and rarely got sick. This time she fell ill, which scared Gu Weiqiang. After all, he was too worried. He slapped his thigh and wanted to carry An'an to the barefoot doctor's house.
Just when he was halfway into carrying her, Zhou Aiju came in and slapped him, "Put it down." She was holding a steaming enamel basin in her hand, which was filled with most of the hot water, obviously for An'an.
"The child caught a cold earlier. If you carried her out in the snow and ice, wouldn't that kill the child?" As she spoke, she untied the key from her waist and handed it to Gu Weiqiang. "Go and get six eggs from the kitchen cupboard. For good luck, give them to Huazi and ask him to come to our house to see An An." Gu Huazi is a barefoot doctor in Gujia Village. He and Gu Weiqiang are brothers from different families and grew up together. Gu Weiqiang is smart and hardworking, so he learned the skill of driving.
Gu Huazi was locked up at home by his father, and was forced to pick up his old profession and become a barefoot doctor in the village. After all, it was a skill and he would not starve to death.
"Oh, Mom, you are really my dear mother." Gu Weiqiang came back to his senses and had an idea. He immediately restored his usual ruffian look in front of his old mother. Although the conditions of the Gu family were good, they were too many people. There were more than 20 people in total, and they had not divided the family. These six eggs were used to invite Huazi to come over, which was considered as the medical fee for the best son.
It can be seen that his old mother loved the eldest daughter very much.
Zhou Aiju glared at her youngest son in annoyance, but her hands were not slow to move. She undressed An An.
An An was dizzy from the fever, but she felt that someone was pulling her clothes. As a good girl of the 21st century with a good family background, how could she let others undress her?
She closed her eyes and grabbed her collar tightly, refusing to let Zhou Aiju unbutton it.
Zhou Aiju looked at An An who was still so stubborn even though she was asleep, and sighed, "I don't know whose personality you resemble?" Who? It resembles her, Zhou Aiju, otherwise, how could she feel so sorry for her granddaughter.
To be honest, Zhou Aiju's family conditions were not good before she got married. Her father was a private school teacher in his early years, and she was the eldest in the family. Her stubborn temper was exactly the same as An An's, and it was also the same when she protected her younger brothers and sisters.
Thinking of this, Zhou Aiju's movements became gentler. She patted An An's shoulders and said, "Be good, let me wipe your body for you, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable because of the fever."
Perhaps because of Zhou Aiju's concern, An An noticed it in her sleep and slowly stopped touching her collar.
A basin of hot water was used to wipe her. The little kid went to the kitchen and heated the kang in the west room. An An was sweating in the quilt.
When Gu Weiqiang brought Huazi to Gu's house, An An was sleeping in a daze, and her little face was red from the heat.
Hua Zi and Gu Wei Qiang grew up together naked since childhood. Gu Wei Qiang has watched his children grow up, so he naturally speaks without reservation.
He reached out and touched An An's forehead. The fever had subsided a little, but the child was skinny and very dark. It was obvious that he had peeled off in the summer and had not recovered yet.
He divided up some herbs he brought from home without even raising his head, "Qiangzi, you are too partial to her. The little girl next door is so fair and clean, and everyone likes her, but when it comes to the eldest girl, she is not only as dark as charcoal, but also so thin and out of shape."
Gu Weiqiang blushed when he was told this by his good brother, "The eldest girl is very honest. Whenever there is work at home, she always rushes to do it in the front, leaving the little one behind." He was often driving outside and could not take care of his family and his wife. He was obviously partial to the little girl, and this made the eldest girl suffer.
Although the old lady in the family favors the eldest daughter, there are many children in the family, especially grandchildren, so she cannot be too partial, otherwise the daughters-in-law and children in the family will feel disappointed.
As a result, the eldest daughter suffered when no one was watching her, and it was his fault.
Huazi pursed his lips and said nothing. After all, it was someone else's family affair, and he was meddling in other people's business.
Zhou Aiju, who was sitting on a chair next to her, frowned and said, "Huazi, prescribe some good medicine. When Weiqiang's salary comes down, we will settle the bill together." If he prescribed good medicine, those eggs would naturally not be enough.
Hua Zi smiled and narrowed his eyes. "Okay, since the old lady has spoken, I will pull out the wild ginseng roots that have been stored in the bottom of the box." In their area, if you go deep into the mountains, you can dig up wild ginseng, but there are big insects in the mountains, so no one dares to go in.
