After knowing that Gu Weiqiang got promoted, the people in the compound were really jealous. They were even more jealous than when their son-in-law sent them a TV a few days ago!
Everyone was talking about whether the ancestral tomb of the Gu family was well buried, otherwise such good things would happen one after another. What kind of shit luck did Gu Weiqiang have? His three children's grades were all excellent. As a divorced man, he should get married! Not only is
she good-looking, but she is also a high school teacher. All the students she taught gave her a thumbs up. At home, she can do housework and keep the house in order.
They have seen the old lady who has been in a trance for many years! How long has the old lady been in the Gu family? All his old illnesses have healed. Now he is occasionally seen basking in the sun in the courtyard, holding a radio. He looks so normal. It
is Gu Weiqiang's turn to be self-sufficient. He used to be a courier! Who would have thought that he would lose his job and become a small clerk. Not long ago, he became the mayor of Taisong County. In the eyes of ordinary people, this is something they dare not even think about!
Everyone gathered in An An's house to congratulate him! This is a promotion. Who among the neighbors would not want to have a good relationship with him so that they can get things done in the future!
Zhang Aiqin no longer had her usual arrogant look and smiled for once in a while. She opened her mouth and complimented, "Master Gu! You are the most important person in our compound! Even if you move away in the future, don't forget us poor neighbors."
Gu Weiqiang put on a smile and said, "What are you talking about? We moved here thanks to everyone's care, otherwise we wouldn't be where we are today." Everyone felt relieved after hearing this. At least Gu Weiqiang didn't look down on them, his ordinary neighbors, just because of his promotion.
An An turned around and glanced at her old father who was talking with everyone. She was well behaved and sighed, "I don't know how many waves of people have come here." Since the news of her father's promotion spread, their family has never been at peace. They come so many times every day. Some people who come to give gifts and congratulations are all rejected by Gu Weiqiang.
If they come to compliment him, Gu Weiqiang will treat them as ordinary people and say a few words to them. At least he is polite on the surface. Look, this is the third wave of people today.
An An admires her old father a little. He is very comfortable dealing with these people, and there is no impatience on his face.
After Gu Weiqiang sent this group of people away, An An propped up his chin with his hands and asked, "Dad, have you hired the movers?" This time they were not like the last time they went out to Gujia Village, where there were only a few people and no objects.
An An looked at the things in the house. It took a lot of effort to move the large items in the house.
Hearing An An's question, Gu Wei Qiang picked up the enamel pot and filled it with cold boiled water. He had been talking to those people for so long that his lips were almost worn out. After moistening his throat, he finally spoke, "I called an old colleague from the transport team, borrowed their truck, and hauled everything away." After that, he glanced at the large boxes in the house and asked, "How are the things packed?"
An An counted on her fingers, "The clothes have been packed, the pots and pans have been taken away, and the tables and chairs will be moved in last." After counting carefully, everything was basically ready.
Gu Weiqiang nodded, "Where's your mom?" They chose the weekend as the day to move. The children didn't have school, and Teacher Sun didn't have classes. The whole family was free and could help a little. It was different after all, and it was much better than Gu Weiqiang doing it all by himself.
An An pointed to the kitchen, "Mom said to cook all our meat and put it in jars to take with us, otherwise it would be too conspicuous when we move." In the end, An An was the one who brought out the fact that she could hunt. However, she didn't say that she was more attracted to small animals. Instead, she said that when she was young, she loved to go up the mountain with Second Grandpa when she was hungry. She learned Second Grandpa's hunting skills, and she was even better than him.
After hearing this, Teacher Sun did not doubt that the children who grew up in the farmyard basically knew a skill, either going up the mountain to hunt or going down to the river to fish. However, after knowing this, he felt more distressed for An An and complained that Gu Weiqiang did not take good care of the child.
After that, An An went to Dashanaozi every few days, not much each time, just bringing back one or two wild animals. Over time, the family had accumulated quite a lot of meat!
And before, they were all hung on the eaves to dry. This time when they moved, Teacher Sun counted and found that they had collected more than ten pheasants. If the neighbors saw them, they would be jealous!
So Teacher Sun put these featherless pheasants! Wild rabbits! They were all taken down, covered with a thick layer of salt, and sealed in a jar to prevent them from being seen from outside. The ones covered with salt can also be stored for a longer time.
Gu Weiqiang said, "Hongmei, don't pretend. Bring a few to Lang's house later, and bring a few to Secretary Ding's house. We will prepare the rest for everyone after we move!" At first, Gu Weiqiang was a little worried that An An might get into trouble. He went with her several times, but later he was too busy to do anything, so he asked An An to stop going to the awning. Unexpectedly, An An went there secretly several times, and came back safely every time. Gu Weiqiang didn't hold An An back anymore.
Let her do what she wants, but only guarantee one thing, that is, she must not be greedy, and everything must be based on her own safety.
Sun Hongmei looked at the pheasants and rabbits that she had smeared with salt, and she was not sure, "Will this be too ostentatious?" It would be a bit embarrassing if outsiders saw them delivering them to the doorstep on a special day.
Gu Weiqiang pointed at An An, "What are you afraid of? Let An An and Dong Dong send them, and it will be the younger generation's filial piety to the elders." As long as the elders did not come forward, it would be much better.
What's more, their family has a good relationship with the Lang family, and everyone can see it. After all, it was a friendship in the past, and there is also Lu Yan. Speaking of which, Lu Yan will be the son-in-law of their Gu family in the future.
As for Mr. Li, it was even simpler. Dongdong was Mr. Li's apprentice, and there was no hiding. Basically, everyone knew it. After school every time, Dongdong went directly to the Lang family's yard. These were all in the open. The younger generation should respect the elders, and the apprentices should respect their masters. If someone gossiped, then let them gossip. After all, they couldn't control other people's mouths.
Teacher Sun thought about it and realized that it made sense. She simply took out the pheasants and rabbits that had not been put into the pot, and called Dongdong and Jiangjiang to come over first, "Jiangjiang, you and Dongdong take this to the Lang family." After a pause, "An'an, take this to Teacher Ding later."
An'an took the bag with a smile and said, "No hurry, after we move, we will live across the street from Secretary Ding and his family. It's very convenient and we can send it over anytime." This is the truth. They moved to the government compound this time, and the house they were allocated is very close to Secretary Ding and his family, so
they can After An An said this, Teacher Sun patted his forehead and said, "Look at my memory, I almost forgot it." After that, he did not forget to complain to Gu Weiqiang, "Master Gu, it's all your fault that I got into this ditch."
Gu Weiqiang scratched his head innocently, "Didn't I forget it?" He continued, "Then don't go to send it. Anyway, we have to invite Mr. Lang and Secretary Ding to have dinner when we move. Let them take it away when they leave. Hongmei, you continue to smear these with salt and pack them up to prevent them from getting spoiled."
All the meat was half dried. If it was not salted and put away directly, it would basically go bad in a few days. If it was salted and put in a pot, it would be like making bacon in winter. It would last longer this way.
Teacher Sun glared at Gu Weiqiang, "You are the one who is annoying me!"
Gu Weiqiang smiled foolishly and begged for mercy with his hands cupped, "It's my fault, it's my fault!" An An leaned against the door frame and saw this scene. She really felt like she had eaten a mouthful of dog food and was hit hard in her heart.
However, she had already trained herself. She ate dog food every day and got used to it after eating too much. An An turned around silently and closed the kitchen door, leaving the palm-sized space to her old father and Teacher Sun.
But not long after she came out, someone knocked on the door. An An opened the door and saw that it was her father’s former colleague and Uncle Zhou, the leader of the transport team. Secretary Ding originally wanted to keep Zhou Wenhua by his side to help him, but Zhou Wenhua recommended Gu Weiqiang to Secretary Ding, and that’s how Gu Weiqiang got to where he is today. Although it’s been a long time, An An still remembers it!
An An smiled at everyone and shouted, “Dad! Uncle Zhou and the others are here!” More than ten of them came at once. Maybe all the drivers of the transport team who didn’t run the goods today came to their house. This crowd of people blocked the door before they even got in, so they couldn’t get in at all!
Gu Weiqiang was whispering with Teacher Sun in the kitchen! Hearing An An calling him, he came out in a hurry. When he saw so many people, he was stunned for a moment, "Hey! All the colleagues who are not running goods are here! I am so embarrassed!"
Gu Wei Qiang laughed and patted his former colleagues on the shoulders. He was very friendly. Although everyone was in Taisong County, they all had their own work. Once they were busy, they really had no time to see each other.
Gu Wei Qiang calculated that they had not seen each other for more than half a year. He rubbed his hands excitedly, "Boss! Why did you bring so many brothers here? What if the business is delayed?"
Zhou Wenhua was in high spirits, "Everyone wants to come and share your joy!" This is the truth! No one thought that the brother from their transport team would actually sit in this position. It was really unexpected.
Since Zhou Wenhua returned to the transport team last time, he has thoroughly cleaned up the termites in the transport team. Although he is about the same age as Secretary Ding, he personally handles the daily work of the transport team. After more than half a year of development, he has not only reversed the previous losses of the transport team, but also made a small profit.
Naturally, he is in high spirits.
Gu Weiqiang smiled bitterly, "You don't know what I am like, come and tease me!" Then he changed the subject, "Come in and sit down, it's a bit messy at home, don't complain!"
An An was very perceptive and immediately put down the stools that were originally stacked together and asked everyone to sit down.
Teacher Sun also hurriedly started to pour water!
Unexpectedly, Zhou Wenhua waved his hand and said, "Let's not do this, let's move now!"
