An An and Lu Yan are so sweet that Gu Wei Qiang is jealous.
To be honest, Gu Wei Qiang feels that he should be happy that his daughter has met a good man. But now, the juicy cabbage he has grown with great difficulty has been taken away by this pig. Not only that, but it is about to be abducted. He is
so angry!
Gu Weiqiang felt that the TV on the table at home was not pleasing to the eye. He raised his hand and slapped the two of them in the middle, with a stern face, and said, "No holding hands at home." After saying that, he felt that the scope seemed too narrow, "No holding hands when going out!"
He had to keep a close eye on his daughter, otherwise she would be taken advantage of by this beautiful pig. Of course, no matter how beautiful
she was, she could not hide the fact that she was a pig. An An's face flushed slightly after being separated from Brother Yan by her old father, but she still obeyed her father's words and quietly hid behind Gu Weiqiang, looking at Lu Yan pitifully with her head down, and her dark eyes softened people's hearts.
Seeing his daughter like this, Gu Weiqiang's heart softened, "Dad is doing this for your own good."
An An couldn't argue, she nodded obediently.
Lu Yan gave An An a reassuring look, turned to look at Gu Weiqiang, "Uncle Gu, I will take good care of An An!"
This sentence choked Gu Weiqiang, he rolled his eyes, "My daughter, I will take care of her myself." This old father is jealous! He is competing with his future son-in-law for his daughter.
Lu Yan knew that Gu Weiqiang was obviously like a tiger with its fur standing on end, so he could only stroke his fur in the same way, otherwise, because he was An An's father, it would be even more difficult for the two of them to be together in the future.
The neighbors were all amazed when they saw this scene. The old father couldn't bear to part with his daughter! Everyone laughed. Who doesn't have this mentality when they have a daughter? The daughter they raised with great difficulty is now married off and becomes the daughter-in-law of another family. If they say they are willing to part with her, that's a lie!
Since the TV was installed in the house, the two children, Dongdong and Jiangjiang, wanted to stick to the TV every day and didn't even do their homework. As for Dongdong, it was even worse. He didn't even complete the tasks assigned by Mr. Li. However, he was severely criticized by Mr. Li. The child was depressed for many days until Gu Weiqiang got the transfer order and had to move. The child became lively again.
That's right!
Gu Weiqiang was promoted from an ordinary clerk to the mayor of Taisong County, replacing Xu Weibing. This really surprised everyone. He was the fastest promoted.
After all, Gu Weiqiang was a courier half a year ago. Half a year later, he became the mayor of Taisong County. Not to mention outsiders, even An An was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a long time when she heard the news.
What is she doing? Is she a second-generation official?
It's really strange!
Gu Weiqiang worked until after ten in the evening. When he got home, the family of five sat together in the main room, their eyes wide open, not feeling sleepy at all, obviously waiting for Gu Weiqiang to come back and confirm the news!
Among the people sitting on the chairs, An An was the fastest. When she heard the movement outside the door, she immediately stood up and rubbed her hands excitedly, "Dad! You got a promotion?" It was
raining heavily outside. Gu Weiqiang shook the dripping umbrella, and when he shook off the raindrops on the back of the umbrella, he slowly put the umbrella away and put it behind the door to drain the water first.
Hearing his daughter asking him about this, Gu Weiqiang smiled bitterly and waved his hands, "Don't mention it, I'm just rushing to do it, this is my first time, I'm still confused!" He was not lying, he was serious, after the votes came out today, he was elected as the county governor, he hasn't recovered yet.
No way! What's going on!
He's just an ordinary little clerk, to use their vernacular, he's just been an apprentice in this industry for a short time! How did he get promoted so quickly and be pushed to the front?
This is not a muddle, but after Xu Weibing stepped down, the monkeys scattered when the tree fell, and his people could not make a difference. The only few people left, with Xu Weibing's opponents and Secretary Ding watching over them, naturally would not drive away the tiger and then bring in the wolf to cause trouble for themselves.
As for Xu Weibing's opponents, after losing the checks and balances, they were worried that Xu Weibing's old subordinates would be pushed to the stage, so everyone unanimously chose Gu Weiqiang, a centrist who did not touch anyone, but at this time, he became the biggest winner.
Gu Wei Qiang didn't understand what was going on before, but after being caught in the rain, his mind has become much clearer. When he said this to An An, An An analyzed, "Dad! You are both gaining from this!"
Although this adjective is not very good, it is indeed appropriate. Xu Weibing's old subordinates are worried about letting their opponents gain the upper hand, and Xu Weibing's opponents are worried about letting Xu Weibing's old subordinates who stayed behind gain the upper hand. In the end, isn't it Gu Wei Qiang who gets the upper hand?
The autumn rain was a little chilly, and his family wanted to come and pick up Wei Qiang, but he refused. Now he was holding an enamel pot, which contained ginger water that Teacher Sun had made for him. He drank it and felt warm all over. He breathed a sigh of relief. After listening to An An's words, he slapped his thigh, "Yes! That's the truth!" He was really lucky to be pushed to the front, which was something that Gu Wei Qiang had never dared to think about in the past year.
But now that he has reached this position, it also means that the burden on him is getting heavier.
An An looked at his nervous old father and sighed, "Dad, will you be busier in the future?" Since his father changed his job, although he can go home for dinner every day, there is one bad thing, that is, there is endless overtime!
Even meals have to be rushed. Many times, they can't take time to go home, so they can only ask their family to bring them meals. After eating, they don't even have time for lunch break, and they have to continue to work. This is just the work of an ordinary clerk. If they are promoted a few levels, they will be busy every day and have no time to go home to accompany their families!
Gu Weiqiang was stunned, "There is gain and loss, this is unavoidable."
An An, Dong Dong, and Jiang Jiang were a little disappointed. They really wanted their dad to be at home with them! Teacher Sun patted the children and consoled them, "Your father is busy with work, isn't it good to have your mother and grandmother at home with you?"
Grandma, who was named, took back her energy from the radio. Since the family got a TV some time ago, An An felt that her efficiency was too slow, so she went directly to the department store and bought a radio.
This radio is not as scarce as a TV, so it is not that difficult to buy. Since the radio was bought, Grandma has been holding the radio like a child, and she hates to let go, just listening to the opera in it, which is really beautiful.
When she heard Teacher Sun calling her name, grandma said with a kind smile, "Come and listen to music with grandma at home!" She paused and said, "Your father is a man of great achievements. You kids should not pester him. Do you really think your father is not under enough pressure? Look at the tuition fees, book fees, and monthly living expenses of the three of you. You also have to support an old woman like me. Count for yourself, your dad is under a lot of pressure, our family has five tickets for meals alone, not counting his own! This is still in the county town, everything costs money, and in a year, An An will take the college entrance examination, and the university tuition is another expense. And Dong Dong and Jiang Jiang will soon be promoted to junior high school, these are all big expenses, how can he not work hard? "
Grandma said this, not to say that An An and her family should not study.
Instead, she told An An and her two siblings to be considerate of Gu Weiqiang. Gu Weiqiang is the pillar of the family. The burden on him is heavier than anyone else in the family. His age is the most embarrassing and the hardest, with elderly people to support above and children below. If anyone in the family gets sick, it will really add fuel to the fire.
In this area, the food of the Gu family is the best. Other families may spend 25 yuan a month on food, but An An and his family have to spend 40 to 50 yuan. Not to mention meat, they have to feed three children one egg a day, which is really unaffordable for ordinary families.
Moreover, the clothes used by An An and his two siblings are all exquisite. It is hard to find anyone in the whole compound who wears better clothes than An An and his three siblings.
An An nodded, "Grandma, don't worry, we know it's not easy for my dad. Aren't you worried that my dad is too tired?"
Dong Dong and Jiang Jiang nodded repeatedly, "That's right! Dad works overtime until late every day, we are worried that he is too tired!"
Gu Wei Qiang suddenly felt warm in his heart. The cup of ginger tea he just drank warmed up his internal organs. The wrinkles on his face piled up together. He touched Dong Dong's face, then touched Jiang Jiang's head. When it was An An's turn, An An was a grown-up girl, he didn't dare to touch her face, so he just patted An An's shoulder.
Gu Wei Qiang smiled proudly, "As long as you siblings are fine, Dad won't be tired! Not tired at all, really! Full of energy." As he spoke, Gu Wei Qiang deliberately raised his arms. He smiled and said, "Working for another 20 years is not a problem."
An An tilted her head and rubbed Gu Wei Qiang's shoulder, "When I graduate, you don't have to work anymore. I will support you in the future, and you just play chess with Grandpa Lang and Old Li every day." In An An's eyes, Grandpa Lang is the best quality of life in his later years. He was uncomfortable staying in the capital and went straight to Taisong County.
She lives in a small courtyard with a grape trellis in the courtyard. She can bask in the sun and play with birds every day. Every now and then, she will find a few people who are compatible with her to play chess and drink a little wine. She doesn't have to worry about making money, supporting her family, and she doesn't have the pressure of family.
Don't look at An An's young age! She thinks that if she gets old in the future, she can live such a life, which is so comfortable that her whole body is bubbling!
But she underestimated Gu Weiqiang. For Gu Weiqiang, his life is a life of hard work. If he is allowed to live like this every day when he is old, he will be miserable!
It would be better for him to find a few acres of land in the countryside, plant some crops every day, and go to the fields. It is much better than doing nothing every day.
This is the problem of living habits, which affects the thinking mode. An An feels so comfortable because she is more influenced by the later generations. In their place, when they are old and have financial freedom, they leave the big city and find a small city where they can live. They have a small yard and plant some fruit trees. Every now and then, they get together with like-minded people to eat and walk around. This is An An's ideal life, or the thinking of the common people. They don't have any big aspirations and ambitions. They just guard their own one mu and three mu of land. It's good!
The same is true for Mr. Lang. He was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth, never did heavy work, and never farmed. If it weren't for the policy problems in the past few years, he would have been exiled to Gujia Village. He has not experienced an alternative life.
But if you ask Mr. Lang to miss the days of cleaning the pig pen, farming, living in a leaky thatched house, and eating hard pancakes, he would be unwilling to do so. It is not as comfortable as basking in the sun every day like now.
Only someone like Gu Weiqiang, who grew up in the countryside and cannot sit still even if he does not do farm work, would say that when he grows older, he would rather go to the countryside to farm than take a leisurely walk every day.
