The next morning, Gu Weiqiang woke up after smelling the fragrance of home. He touched his dizzy head and the only thought in his mind was that he should not drink so much next time. If something happened at home, what would An An and Dong Dong do?
Because it was a new home and a new bed, An An was a little used to it and woke up very early. She simply got up and rummaged around in the kitchen. Her father drank too much yesterday, so she boiled some kudzu root water and put it in the teapot. Of course, after the kudzu root was boiled, it was destroyed. Only
a pot of dark brown hangover soup was left.
Hearing the noise, she didn't even raise her head, "Dad, the hangover soup is on the tea table, drink some first, the meal will be ready soon." In fact, it was called a tea table, but it was just a vermilion table covered with a layer of white mesh gauze. Generally, people who are particular about their homes will cover their homes with this thing, which is not only beautiful, but also can prevent dust from falling.
Their house was previously occupied by a teacher. Obviously, the former hostess was a family man. The furnishings in the house are particularly charming, and of course the value is not cheap. The same small two-bedroom apartment is two hundred yuan more expensive than the market!
But the furniture inside is complete, and it only takes one person to move in.
Gu Weiqiang had time to carefully look at the furnishings in the house. He picked up the enamel pot and poured half a cup of water into the kettle. Seeing that the water was dark brown, he was surprised, "An'an! What kind of water is this?"
An'an stuck her head out and took a look. "This is Pueraria root water, specially used for hangovers. I bought a small handful at the herbal medicine shop in front and kept it at home."
The smell was not good. Gu Weiqiang pinched his nose and drank it down, proudly, "Ladies are still good!", knowing how to feel sorry for him.
"Dad! Is my son not good?" Hearing the noise outside, Dongdong, who was half asleep, jumped out of bed, raised his head and questioned his old father.
Would Gu Weiqiang say it was not good?
He picked Dongdong up, and used his beard that had grown for a few days to poke him vigorously, laughing, "Do you think Dad loves you?"
Dongdong kept dodging when he was pricked, and asked An'an for help, "Sister, please come and save me! Dad is going crazy again." Only in their family is the atmosphere more open, if someone outside heard their son say that his father was crazy, he would be called unfilial.
An'an looked up at the noisy father and son, and smiled, "It's time to eat." There were a lot of dishes left over from yesterday, so she heated them up and cooked a white rice porridge. The rice she used was the fragrant rice from the supermarket, which was specially used for making porridge. When she lifted the lid of the pot, the rich and sweet rice smell spread from far away.
After a while, there was a knock on the door. A little boy of five or six years old, dirty and with two tubes of snot hanging from his nose, came in. He was wearing a thin cotton-padded jacket, and the sleeves were so black that they looked like a hard shell.
It was really dirty. In this era, every family had five or six children, so it was hard to take care of them. Basically, the older children's jackets were taken off and given to the younger ones. The younger ones were not very clean, so when they had snot, they would wipe it with their sleeves. When they ate, they would use their sleeves as rags to rub the table. Over the years, the cotton sleeves became iron sleeves, and when they were hit by someone, they would stumble.
As soon as An An opened the door, the child rushed in, slurring his words, "I want porridge, I want porridge." It looked like he was rushing into his kitchen like a little robber.
Suddenly, An An was knocked by the child and staggered. Gu Weiqiang, who was still holding Dong Dong out, was quick to help his daughter.
His face darkened, and he walked to the kitchen in two or three steps. The child's black hands had already reached into the pot, not caring whether the porridge inside was hot or not, and grabbed a handful and fed it into his mouth. Looking at the hands, they were burned black and red.
Gu Weiqiang put Dongdong down, picked up the little boy by the collar and threw him out the door, "Whose child is this?" There were quite a few people outside the door watching the excitement, but no one came to claim the child.
Gu Weiqiang repeated, "Whose child is this?"
Still no one replied.
"Since no one wants the child, I will send this child to the trade union." This trade union is specifically responsible for managing the people who steal or are persecuted in the area. The trade union is very close, right inside the textile factory. The high school in the county town was built next to the textile factory, so this area is under the management of the trade union. If the trade union does not care, it can naturally be upgraded to report to the public security bureau.
Upon hearing that they were sent to the union, a burly woman came out from the crowd and started cursing, "Who are you? You have no moral integrity. Your children are still young, and they are curious about the new neighbor who moved into your house, but why do you have to register him with the union? We all look down our heads and don't see him, this is too much."
When had Gu Weiqiang ever quarreled with such an unreasonable woman?
An An took over and sneered, "Dong Dong, since the auntie has said that the child ruined the meal because of curiosity, you can go get a piece of coal from home and throw it into the pot of the auntie's house. Anyway, it's just the child's curiosity, there's no need to pursue it."
Dong Dong looked eager to try, and really grabbed a piece of coal from behind the door and asked the neighbors around where the auntie's house was.
How could the people watching the excitement say it! They
immediately hid far away.
Everyone asks this auntie if she is called Auntie Qian. Her husband works in the textile factory next door. He is a worker. Logically, he has food supply and the family conditions are not bad. But the bad thing is that she has given birth to six children. Her husband occupies the quota of food supply for working in the city. He also has to send 15 kilograms of food back home every month. Isn't life miserable?
The child who came to An'an's house to make trouble and steal food is called Qian Xiaogang. He is a well-known little rascal in the compound. He steals sesame seeds from one family and peanuts from another. Every time someone argues with Auntie Qian, she will retort that the child is still young. How can you, an adult, have the nerve to argue with a child?
When Aunt Qian saw the coal briquettes in Dongdong's hand, she immediately became anxious and pointed at An An's nose and cursed, "You little girl, you are so sharp-tongued, how can you teach a child to do bad things like this?"
An An turned around with a cold face and took out half a pot of rice porridge from the coal stove and opened it in front of everyone. She originally prepared white rice porridge, which had been boiled for more than an hour, and each grain of rice was round and plump. Qian Xiaogang used his iron sleeves that had not been washed for several years to turn the pot inside, and the whole pot of porridge became half white and half black. Isn't it a waste of a pot of rice porridge?
An An took it out, and the people around looked at it and took a breath. These days, there are not many families who specialize in making porridge with that white rice!
This is such a waste, especially when I saw that the rice was turned black, I felt so distressed.
That was enough for the whole family to eat for several meals!
But I got to know this new family a little bit.
An An handed the pot of porridge to Aunt Qian and pressed her step by step, "This porridge was ruined by your child, just tell me how to compensate us!"
When Aunt Qian heard that the owner wanted her to pay compensation, she immediately got anxious. She grabbed Qian Xiaogang and picked him up in her hand like a chicken, picked up the rolling pin hanging on the window and started hitting Qian's butt, "I told you to be bad, I told you to be bad, you've offended the wrong people! Do you think the new neighbors are as easy to talk to as the old neighbors? I'm going to beat you to death, you little bastard. "
When Aunt Qian hit people with the rolling pin, it looked like she was going to use a strong force, but when it landed, it was indeed light and light. Qian Xiaogang cried loudly, and the people around him couldn't bear it. Aunt Qian did this for everyone to see, or to be more precise, for An An to see. Look, I beat the child like this, if you are asking me for compensation, that's too much.
" An old lady with a kind face said, "Forget it, girl, the Qian family is just stingy, stay away from them next time." An An knew this old lady. She was the grandmother who spoke well for her when she came to the staff building to sell rice before.
An An's expression softened immediately, and she smiled, "Grandma, do you want this pot of porridge? Or if you see any children who don't mind, just bring the bowl over and I'll share it with everyone, and we can eat it together." An An was completely different from her previous vindictive look. When
quarreling with Aunt Qian, An An had to be ruthless, otherwise Aunt Li and Aunt Zhang would come to bully them. Her actions also let everyone know that new neighbors are not easy to bully.
Secondly, she shared this pot of porridge with everyone. The purpose was to win over the old neighborhood. She had left a bad impression on people before, so this pot of porridge became something to change everyone's impression. Food was the most scarce thing these days, especially white rice porridge. Even if it was a little dirty, she could just pick out the dirty part and continue eating. It would be a waste to throw it away.
But for An An, she was definitely not going to eat this pot of porridge, and she couldn't give it to her father and Dong Dong.
When she thought of the iron sleeves that had accumulated for who knows how many years and stirred in the pot, she couldn't eat it. That was because An An had the conditions to make her life better.
The kind-looking old lady heard this and happily called all the children over, "What's your name, little girl?"
"My name is Gu An'an, this is my brother Gu Dongdong, and this is my father." When she introduced Gu Weiqiang, she didn't say his name. After all, it's best not to tell all the truth when people interact with each other.
"My last name is He, just call me Grandma He if you ask me." Grandma He called the children in the compound, "Come here, your sister An'an has cooked a pot of white rice porridge for everyone, come and drink it with a bowl." Grandma He was also a teacher at the county high school, but she was old and had been criticized in the early years, so her health gradually collapsed. She dropped out of school early and occasionally took on the job of pasting matchboxes at home to supplement the family income.
In this large courtyard, he is considered prestigious.
The children lined up, and Gu Weiqiang stood aside to protect An An. He was not a person who would argue, but since Aunt Qian got angry, he had been standing next to An An, the closest to her. If Aunt Qian dared to take a step forward, he would hit her with his fist.
An An smiled and shook her head at Gu Weiqiang, "Dad, I want to eat the noodle soup you made." Hearing his daughter's order, Gu Weiqiang immediately relaxed and was uncertain, "You here?"
An An nodded. She deliberately supported her old father. Her father was tall and big, and when he stood there, his aura was fully open, which was really intimidating.
Before, Aunt Qian's finger was almost pointing at An An, but when she saw Gu Wei Qiang standing there like a door god, looking ferocious, she immediately retracted her hand and picked up Qian Xiaogang to beat him up.
This is why An An was confident enough to fight back, because she knew that her old father would protect her behind her.
Now that the little trouble was solved, the only thing left was to comfort these new neighbors. If the old father was standing here, it would be a bit awkward. If they didn't see Gu Wei Qiang standing there, the children would not dare to approach An An.
An An whispered something in Dong Dong's ear, and Dong Dong immediately turned around and went inside. After a while, he came out with a bag of fruit candies. During the Chinese New Year, almost every household prepared candies, but those were all expensive things. Unless there were guests at home, no one would directly take them out and share them with the children.
An An pulled Dong Dong aside and blinked. Dong Dong immediately understood, and his chest was raised high. "Children who come to get porridge can come to me and get a candy." When he said this, more than a dozen children around him were excited.
That's candy!
Although they also had candies at home, the adults hid the candies, and they couldn't even get enough.
An An looked at Dong Dong and gave him an admiring look. She served porridge to the children in front, and Dong Dong was responsible for distributing fruit candies beside her.
The brother and sister cooperated very well. After one round, everyone called An An sister and Dong Dong brother affectionately.
An An's third meaning was to prepare for Dong Dong. She could not care about not having friends in a new place, but Dong Dong could not. He was still a child of eight or nine years old. He would be scared to come to a strange place without familiar friends.
But if a few candies were given, Dong Dong would quickly get along with the children in the compound. An An felt that this was calculated.
As for the four words "don't reveal money to others", An An always kept them in mind, but don't forget it. It's the New Year now, and it's normal for the family to prepare some candies. It's just that in everyone's eyes, An An and her family are outsiders with a lot of money.
But at the same time, the presence of the ferocious Gu Weiqiang can basically scare off many people with bad intentions.
An An guessed correctly. The neighbors around were divided into several groups. Some thought that the new neighbor was really generous and looked like someone who was easy to get along with. The second group thought that this neighbor was probably from a wealthy family, a fat sheep with a lot of money, and that he would just take out rice porridge and fruit candies and divide them up.
The third group was jealous of An An and his friends. Not only did they have good conditions, but they also had a humanoid machine watching them.
It seemed that I had to tell my children not to mess with this family.
Different people will have different ideas about An An, which An An knew early on. What she wanted was to get along with these neighbors as quickly as possible, but if harmony really couldn't be achieved, she didn't mind falling out.
An An put all her ideas on the table, and indeed, she did so.
This wave of giving away money has caused many neighbors to no longer have the strong rejection of the new family.
An An poured out the bottom of the pot and shrugged, "It's gone! Everyone go home!" The children around them scattered, leaving only two or three. They called out to Dongdong, "Dongdong, do you want to play with me?"
Dongdong was eager to try. An An turned around and said, "Go ahead. Play for ten minutes and remember to come back for dinner."
"Thank you, sister." Dongdong flew out like a happy little bird. He had no fear of the new environment. Instead, he was eager to try. This was a good sign.
When An An was about to go into the house, Teacher Ding just came in from outside, holding two cabbages in her hands. It was obvious that she had gone out to buy vegetables. It was New Year, and the surrounding markets were slowly opening up. The atmosphere was also much more relaxed. From time to time, you could meet many farmers carrying baskets to sell vegetables at the gates of textile factories or schools.
Although it was not aboveboard, at least it was not so strict, and the people in higher positions turned a blind eye.
When An An saw Teacher Ding, her body stiffened. She obviously remembered that she had brought the transaction to Teacher Ding last time. She nodded with a smile.
Teacher Ding obviously didn't know him. He was a little confused, and seemed to be searching in his mind whether he knew the little girl in front of him.
An An took the initiative to introduce herself, "Teacher Ding, I'm Gu An An, your new neighbor. I'll be your student after the start of the school term."
Teacher Ding searched for a while, "You must be Gu Wei Qiang's daughter!" Before An An could answer, Gu Wei Qiang, wearing an apron and holding a large iron spoon, poked his head out, "Old Ding! What a coincidence, you also live in this yard!"
It was obvious that the two were old friends, and it looked like they had a good relationship.
An An's body froze, it couldn't be such a coincidence! The only time she did business was in front of Teacher Ding, and Teacher Ding was the connection at the county high school that her father had found.
Not bad, An An guessed it right.
Because there was a patient at Teacher Ding's home, he accidentally met Gu Weiqiang. Gu Weiqiang was also a sports car owner and could often buy some goods outside. Teacher Ding liked to ask Gu Weiqiang to bring things for him. After a few visits, they became acquaintances.
However, they didn't know where the other lived, but only knew what the other's occupation was. This was the way men get along with each other.
Teacher Ding was also a little surprised, "You moved here?", and became his old neighbor, this world is a little small!
Gu Weiqiang smiled innocently, "Of course, I didn't expect to become a neighbor with you, Ding stubborn." Among the many people who usually asked him to bring things, Teacher Ding was the only one who was as stubborn as a donkey, very difficult to deal with.
"Is this your daughter?" Teacher Ding was a little surprised. "How can such a big and sturdy man like you give birth to such a beautiful daughter?" No matter how you look at it, it looks like a child stolen from another family!
Gu Weiqiang is a big man of 1.8 meters, strong, and he drives a car all year round. He has seen a lot of people and has a broad mind. Naturally, he looks majestic.
An An is different. She was born petite and has the same height and skin as Tang Lanzhi. Now her skin is a little whiter, her almond eyes are moist, and she smiles at people. She looks like a well-behaved child, which is really different from the fierce and evil look of Gu Weiqiang.
In fact, Gu Weiqiang didn't look so ferocious before, but after experiencing the Gu family incidents, he became cold and hard, from the inside out. To outsiders, he looked ugly and ferocious. Of course, this was Teacher Ding's opinion.
In the eyes of An An and Dong Dong, their father was very handsome.
Gu Wei Qiang's face turned dark and he said in a low voice, "Why, you don't allow me to have a beautiful daughter." Then he deliberately said, "Daddy, daughter, call me daddy quickly, let Lao Ding know that my daughter is the best."
An An shouted crisply, "Dad!" Dong Dong next to him was not to be outdone. He fell into Gu Wei Qiang's arms like a little top and shouted heroically, "Dad!"
Gu Wei Qiang was so happy that he felt more comfortable than drinking honey.
He raised his eyebrows proudly, "See? It's real!"
Teacher Ding pulled the corner of his mouth and cursed with a smile, "You are lucky!" This is also because he is familiar with Gu Weiqiang, so he speaks so casually. Usually, Teacher Ding is very serious
. The nickname Ding Laojue is not for nothing.
He looked at An An, "I will teach you well when you are assigned to my class in the future." An An's body stiffened. She didn't like being specially cared for by the teacher the most. She could only smile bitterly and said, "Thank you, Teacher Ding."
Although he was so hypocritical, Teacher Ding saw it but didn't expose it. He carried the cabbage back to his home.
After all the troubles in the morning, the one-sided noodle soup in the house was ready. An An didn't feel bad about sharing the porridge with others. She called Dong Dong, and Dong Dong immediately stopped playing and told his friends, "I'll come to play with you after dinner."
A group of friends looked at Dong Dong with envy, knowing that the new neighbor's home had delicious food.
Gu Weiqiang's cooking skills were good, especially his specialty one-sided noodle soup, which was easy to make. It tasted better than the white porridge that An An made in the morning, of course, this was her opinion.
In Dong Dong's eyes, his sister's cooking was still the best, and his father's cooking tasted the same.
While eating breakfast, Gu Weiqiang told her his plan, "Let's go back to Gujia Village today and move our household registration to the county seat first."
An An was stunned for a moment and put down the spoon, "Where should we register our household registration?" These days, registering a household registration is extremely important, otherwise you will become an illegal resident, which will be inconvenient for everything. For example, if you are an illegal resident, you can't go to school.
Gu Weiqiang pondered for a moment, "Just register it temporarily at the county high school. We have a house in this area, so it's not difficult to register our household registration." It's just a registration fee every year, 100 yuan per child.
You know, this one hundred yuan is a sky-high price, and few families can afford it. This is why there are so few people in the city. In addition, there will be regular streamlining of the urban population every year. If you can't gain a foothold in the city, you will be assigned to the streamlining quota and sent to the countryside by the trade union. In fact, there is no need for the trade union to streamline. Basically, if you lose your job in the city, it is equivalent to losing your source of income. At this time, people will generally return to the countryside spontaneously because they can't survive in the city.
An An thought for a while, "It costs money!" This is for sure, otherwise everyone would want to stay in the city.
Gu Weiqiang nodded, "Don't worry so much, kid, dad is here!"
"Dad, where do I go to school?" Dong Dong bit the spoon, his face full of curiosity, obviously he likes the new environment very much.
"The primary school in the textile factory." This is an internal quota. The primary schools in this area are all in the textile factory, and the high schools are in the county town. You have to pay to get in.
Gu Weiqiang obviously spent a lot of money, otherwise how could he squeeze two children in at once?
An An smiled, "Dongdong, can you go to school with me when the time comes?"
Dongdong nodded heavily. After dinner, the three of them packed up. One was to go back to Gu's village to pay New Year's greetings to the elders, and the other was to go to the clan's ancestor's home to let him witness that they moved their household registration out of the clan. You
can't go empty-handed when you ask someone to do something for you during the Chinese New Year. Gu Weiqiang took his two children to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought two knives of roasted knives and half a kilogram of fruit candy, which are the best gifts to give as gifts.
And they are also very sincere. Don't the elderly like to have a few drinks during meals? Don't the children at home like to eat candy?
These two gifts touched people's hearts.
Gu Weiqiang rode a bicycle. This bicycle was not bought by them, but belonged to Teacher Ding. Gu Weiqiang had just moved here and had not bought anything yet, so he had to borrow it. An An sat on the back seat and Dong Dong sat on the front bar. They were so impressive all the way back. No one in the whole Gujia Village had a bicycle.
Many uncles and aunties greeted him along the way, "Wei Qiang! You're back!"
Gu Wei Qiang pressed the bell, stopped his bicycle, asked An An and Dong Dong to get off, and pushed the bicycle. He smiled and replied, "Yes! I came back to transfer the household registration of the two children. They don't go to school in the city, and it won't work if their household registration is in the village."
The auntie next to him agreed, "This is a great thing. You have become city dwellers now. Don't forget us poor relatives in the future."
"Auntie, where are you talking about? I also left from Gujia Village. If you want to bring something in the future, please tell me. I will bring it to you if I can." Everyone felt relieved. The young sister-in-law next to them asked, "Is An An feeling better?" When Gu Weiqiang pushed An An to the city in a hurry, everyone saw it!
An An heard it and immediately jumped in front of everyone, "I feel better."
"That's fine! Be filial to your father when you go to the city. It's not easy for him to raise a child alone."
An An and Dong Dong nodded in unison, so well-behaved.
The uncle added, "You guys are not going back to Gu's house, are you?"
Gu Weiqiang didn't answer yet! The people around answered for them, "Don't go back, it's a wolf's den. Now that you've finally gotten out, don't be stupid."
Gu Weiqiang was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong?" Ever since An An got sick, he has been focusing on An An, and he entertained everyone yesterday, so he really didn't know what happened in the Gu family.
The uncle lowered his voice, "Isn't Gu Weifu crazy? Now he bites everyone he sees. The other day he bit your eldest brother's son Ping An, and there was blood all over the floor! The child was so scared that he couldn't even cry." The Gu family is not a wolf's den, whoever gets involved will be in trouble.
Fortunately, Gu Weiqiang has been separated and has a foothold in the city, otherwise the one who was bitten might be Dongdong.
Dongdong shuddered when he heard this, obviously he was scared. He shivered, "Sister, shall we go see Ping'an?" His tentative tone made An'an's nose sore. It was really unfair to the child that the grudges between adults were dragged onto the child.
Dongdong and Ping'an had a good relationship. Because of the last uncle's incident, their family and the eldest house rarely interacted. This scared Dongdong, and he was very cautious when he wanted to find a friend to play.
She said seriously, "You can go, but ask your sister or dad to take you." She was worried about Dongdong going alone. What if the thing was bitten by that heartless thing?
Dongdong nodded excitedly. He hadn't seen Ping'an for a long time and missed him a lot.
After hearing the news, Gu Weiqiang was stunned and couldn't tell what he felt. He looked up at the sky and silently prayed in his heart that God would not mistreat any good person, nor would he favor any bad person.
According to the superstitious saying, if the eldest son had not privately instigated Zhao Guifang and his wife to report that the second son was taken away by the police, would the second son have such a great resentment towards the eldest wife?
Would Ping An be bitten?
Of course, all this is hypothetical, but it is a tit-for-tat, and it is a pity that the innocent child was implicated.
Gu Weiqiang felt more and more that it was fortunate that his family had moved away from the Gu family and went to the county town early, leaving this wolf's den of a bad family.
Gu Weiqiang took An An and Dong Dong to say goodbye to a group of villagers, and went directly to the clan elder's house, explaining the purpose of their visit clearly.
The clan elder had a good relationship with Grandpa Gu in the past. He looked at the gifts brought by Gu Weiqiang and smiled bitterly, "This important matter of relocating the household registration is not something you can do just by saying so. At least you have to inform the elders above."
Gu Weiqiang said calmly, "Our fourth branch has already separated from the above. What I want to move now is my daughter and son, Gu Weiqiang, not my own household registration. There is no need to inform the old man and the old lady!"
What he meant was that he relocated the household registration for his children, and it had nothing to do with the elders above.
The clan elders always felt that they were not strong enough. Although the actions of the old man and the old lady really made the child sad, after all, Wei Qiang was also a younger generation, and there were no parents who were not wrong in the world.
How could he be so ignorant!
Gu Wei Qiang insisted, as if he would not leave unless you gave him a relocation registration.
An An and Dong Dong stared at each other. An An suddenly had an idea and said, "Elder, if the household registration is not moved, Dong Dong and I will be unable to go to school and will be laughed at in the city."
"Just agree to it! When we have a foothold in the city, let my father choose three children in Gujia Village and he will sponsor them to go to school." This was a disguised way of selling to the elders. Sponsoring three children to go to school must be the three best students in the clan. If one of them has achievements in the future, it will be the pride of the Gu family.
An An blinked at Gu Weiqiang.
Gu Wei Qiang quickly nodded and said, "An An's opinion is my opinion."
The clan elder was fair and prestigious enough, but his ideas were a bit old-fashioned. At first, he did not agree with Gu Wei Qiang to move the child's household registration because he thought he was somewhat unfilial and resented his elders.
But now the interests are in front of him, it would be a lie to say that he is not tempted. The children in the tribe can be successful, this is what the elders dream of. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I will move your household registration, but you must let the old man and the old lady know. Even if they don't want to, I will move your household registration for you." This is the position of the elder. He will take into account the balance. For the future of the children in the village, he will take the bait this time and not lose the hearts of the people. For Old Man Gu and Zhou Aiju, he will do his best to help.
Although it seems impartial, it is a bit unfair to Gu Weiqiang. Seeing that Gu Weiqiang was somewhat unwilling, he pondered for a moment, "Qiangzi, Gujia Village is your root. You can be indifferent to your quarrels with the elders, but Anan and Dongdong cannot ignore them. In this day and age, filial piety is more important than anything else. When Anan talks about her in-laws and Dongdong marries a wife, which family will not come to inquire about them? By then, you will still be the ones who suffer."
Gu Weiqiang broke out in a cold sweat. He did not think carefully enough. He is now alone and does not expect to marry a wife, so he naturally does not care about these false reputations, but Anan and Dongdong are still young.
If they want to marry a good wife and talk about a good in-law family in the future, then the other party will inevitably come to inquire about their family situation.
There are no parents who are not right in the world. No matter what era it is, they are like a mountain that can make people feel suffocated.
An An looked unhappy, "Dad, Dong Dong and I don't care." Dong Dong agreed in a low voice.
Gu Weiqiang touched his daughter's head and said, "Silly child, Dad cares." As a father, he would not want his child to have any stain on him, even the slightest stain.
An An was silent.
She could not change her father's mind, nor the mind of this era. She wanted to say that she could stay single and accompany her old father for the rest of her life. This was normal in An An's previous world.
But in this era, it was considered unfilial.
She could not say this, and could only think about it in her heart.
When the father and daughter were affectionate, Zhou Aiju led the old man Gu hurried over from home. After the repeated blows, Zhou Aiju, who originally seemed to be in good health, now looked as if a gust of wind could blow her down. She became thinner and thinner like a bamboo pole. Her face no longer had the kind smile she used to have. Instead, she looked a little sad.
Obviously, the Gu family was not living a happy life after An An and the others left.
The old man was even more exaggerated. When he got up that night to look after Gu Wei Fu, he found that Gu Wei Fu had secretly run away. He went out to chase him, but was thrown to the ground by Gu Wei Fu. His leg was broken and he walked with a limp.
When the two old people went out, they locked Gu Weifu in the house with an iron chain, and only then did they dare to go out without worry. It can be said that the old lady and the old man have been tied up by Gu Weifu and can't go anywhere.
Zhou Aiju stood at the door of the fenced courtyard of the clan's old house, and when she looked inside, tears appeared in her cloudy eyes. The fourth brother has changed. He is no longer as playful as before. When he doesn't speak, he has a murderous look. However, he looks much more energetic, like a sword that is about to be unsheathed, and the sharp edge of the sword is pointing at herself and the old man.
