Seeing Gu Ping'an like this made An An feel distressed. There were so many people around and everyone was focused on the food. An An took her bowl under the table, stretched her arm out, and put the remaining half of the fish into Gu Ping'an's bowl.
Gu Ping'an lowered his head and saw a piece of fish suddenly appear in the bowl. His eyes lit up. Just as he was about to speak, he noticed Gu An'an and stretched out his index finger. "Huh!"
Gu Ping'an curled his eyes, turned around, poked Zhao Junyan, and pointed at Gu An'an. Although he didn't say anything, Zhao Junyan knew what was going on.
She smiled gratefully at Gu Anan and touched her own Ping'an on the forehead, "Eat."
Zhou Aiju's eyes were clear. Gu Anan's little action could not escape the old lady's eyes. She looked at Anan's appearance and shook her head, "This child..."
It's not that she was not good to Gu Ping'an, but the child was quiet since he was young and was afraid of her. Although Gu Ping'an would not be left out when there was food, he was a ten-year-old child after all, and he was growing up. The little food he got was finished in a few bites. How could it be enough!
After dinner, as usual, Gu Anan would take the initiative to do the dishwashing, but today Anan finished eating, wiped his mouth, and said, "Grandma, I'm going back to my room to prepare for the entrance examination."
Zhou Aiju nodded and pointed at Gu Shu, "Go ask your brother to give you the review materials, it will save you a lot of trouble." Gu Shu has been in high school in the county for a year. Because of the new policy this year, he can take the college entrance examination, so he went home and begged his grandfather to let him study for another year so that he could take the exam and have a chance to get into a good school. The whole family is happy that the old Gu family can have a college student.
In addition, Mr. Gu was the eldest of the grandsons of the old man's family. He was obedient, good at studying, and looked most like his grandfather when he was young, which pleased the old man. So Mr. Gu clapped his hands and said, "Go study." Who would pay for his studies? Of course, the fourth and third sons paid for it.
Gu Anan squinted his eyes and said, "Brother, I'll go to your room to get the books. Lend me all the books you don't need now."
Gu Shu hesitated, but because the old lady had spoken, he could only take Gu Anan to the south kang. Because Gu Shu was going to take the college entrance examination, the family specially arranged a separate room for Gu Shu. Unlike other grandchildren who were squeezed together, although Gu Shu's room was only more than ten square meters, the desk and closet were neatly arranged. You don't need to look, these were all made by Gu Dan.
Gu Shu took out a book from the bookcase with hesitation, and said with a gloomy face, "An An, these are all Lao Gui's books, you have to be careful." In Gu Shu's eyes, he was the only college student in the family, and there was no need for Gu An An to show off, not to mention that she was a girl. But it must be said that Gu Shu was a little jealous of Gu An An. Unlike An An's solid foundation, Gu Shu was able to go to high school, relying on private tutoring to barely pass the county high school.
An An looked at the math textbook in front of her, and she smiled meaningfully, "Isn't this a book issued by the school?" It was obviously free, but she still said it was Lao Gui. If it were the old Gu An An, she would really return Lao Gui's books and dare not borrow them.
But the current An An won't.
Gu Shu was a little angry after being exposed, "Tuition is not money, right?"
Gu An'an looked at Gu Shu strangely and whispered, "Brother's tuition is also paid by my father." After saying that, he slammed the door and ran away.
The angry Gu Shu didn't recover for a long time.
After getting the book, Gu An'an was about to go to the old lady's house to ask where her father was. When she passed the kitchen, she heard Wang Daying grinning, "An'an is a damn girl. She washes the usual dishes. She ran very fast today. Sister-in-law, tell me, a girl can't read a book. It's better to help the family with more work. If she gets married early, her husband's family can help a few brothers in the family to avoid being sent to school. It's really a waste." Waste of money. "
Zhao Junyan was cleaning the stove and soaking the pickled cabbage for dinner in water to melt the ice. When she heard Wang Daying's words, she didn't intend to speak. Thinking of the half fish on the table, she whispered, "Didn't An An do enough work before? Besides, An An goes to school, and it's the fourth brother who pays for it. What's the waste?" So it's not a waste to send your nephew to school, but it's a waste to send your own daughter to school? What kind of logic is this?
Zhao Junyan seldom spoke, but when she did, she was very sharp. After all, she was from a wealthy family, and her ideas were different. Moreover, their family was safe and they could study in the village. The fourth son paid for all the homework books and pens for the whole year. For this reason, Zhao Junyan should thank her brother-in-law.
Wang Daying was going to refute, but she thought that if the word got out, what would happen if her brother-in-law didn't pay for his eldest son's tuition? In the end, she
swallowed the rest of the words.
Gu Anan listened, sneered, and turned to Zhou Aiju's room.
After asking his father, he took out a pen and a notebook from the old lady's box. All the expenses of the family were bought by Gu Weiqiang when he was driving outside, and kept by the old lady. After all, there are many children in the family, and if they are all divided among them, they are afraid that the children will spend money on them.
After all, notebooks and pens are expensive things.
Nowadays, there are not many families who can go to school.
And the old Gu family has two high school students at once, which is considered a great honor in the village.
Gu Anan muttered, "Even grandma doesn't know where dad is. He doesn't even come home for dinner." Then he turned around and went back to the west room.
Gu Weiqiang, who was being talked about by Gu Anan, was now in a household at the innermost part of Gujia Village. It was a household, but it was just a shed made of thatched grass. It could be said that the pigsty outside was made of pebbles. In terms of workmanship, the pigsty looked more solid than the thatched house. The people
who were assigned to live in the thatched house were none other than the city dwellers who had made mistakes and were criticized and exiled to Gujia Village.
Because the location was far away, people in the village spread the word that the people living here were members of the five black categories and bad elements. Everyone regarded the thatched house as a plague god, and no one dared to deal with the people here, for fear of getting into trouble.
In fact, there were three people living in the thatched house, a father and son, and an old man.
The old man is called Lang Yongling, he is sixty-three years old this year, and he lives in the imperial city of Beijing. If you count three generations back, the Lang family is considered a noble family of the Qing Dynasty, also known as the Lugulu clan. If we talk about celebrities, Heshen of the Qing Dynasty came from this surname, but after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the surname was changed to Lang.
If you count carefully, Lang Yongling is a descendant of Heshen. Even though his family was confiscated, he was still rich and had a lot of assets left. There were countless antiques, porcelain, and calligraphy and paintings by famous people. This wealth would have made people envious in the past, but it is deadly poison now. Lang Yongling was labeled a bad element and exiled to Gujia Village because of these antiques. Lang Yongling was also called Lang Yiyan in his early years. It was said that any cultural relic that Lang Yiyan had seen must be authentic.
What a pity!
The times were not right. Lang Yongling, who should have worked hard for the country and preserved its history and culture, was labeled a bad element and his house was searched. It was only after great effort that a son he adopted in his early years was exiled to Gujia Village.
Although Gujia Village is remote, it has a reputation for simplicity. When Lang Yongling comes here, he will at least not be bullied like he would be elsewhere.
As for the other father and son, they are famous orthopedic doctors in the provincial capital. Especially the father, Feng Xianquan, studied in the UK in his early years, specifically to learn foreign orthopedic medicine. After returning, he became a professor in the provincial hospital. He saved countless people, but was labeled a bad element by the rightists, was dismissed from his position, and exiled to Gujia Village. Even his right hand was injured when he was criticized. It is ridiculous that Feng Xianquan, who is famous for being an orthopedic doctor, became half-disabled because of improper treatment of his right hand and could no longer pick up a scalpel.
As for his son Feng Qingyan, he could have been exiled after he divorced his wife, but Feng Qingyan was a filial son and worried that his old man would not survive the exile alone, so he simply hid a foreign medical book. When his house was searched, it was found on him. After several arrangements by his family, the father and son were exiled to Gujia Village together.
Lang Yongling became his companion, so he had someone to keep him company.
These three people are also open-minded people. They feed pigs and clean pig pens every day. Lang Yongling loves antique research, but he doesn't have the conditions to do so in Gujia Village, so he simply keeps his hobby of walking birds. As a nobleman living in the imperial city, he has the leisure and arrogance in his bones. Even if he is exiled to the mountains
and gullies, it is still engraved in his bones and blood. He also holds a bird cage made of bamboo strips in his hand. This bird cage was made by Gu Weiqiang and his third brother Gu Weimin. As for the turtledove in the cage, Lang Yongling himself set a trap in front of the mountain and caught it. Although this turtledove is not as smart as the parrot he raised at home before, it is still good.
Gu Weiqiang came here this time to thank Feng Xianquan, an old master who worked with him in the transport team. Some time ago, when it was snowing heavily, he was out delivering goods. When he braked suddenly, his hand hit the steering wheel and broke. This old master brought Gu Weimin into the transport team, which was a great favor.
Gu Weiqiang thought about it and then turned his attention to Feng Xianquan. Feng Xianquan's identity was too special. He took advantage of the night to get Feng Qingyan to the county town and specially showed him to the old master. Not to mention, after two months of training, the old master's wrist was the same as usual, and he was able to keep his job in the transport team. For Gu Weimin, these two people were great benefactors, and he still owed them a favor.
Gu Weiqiang was holding half a pound of roasting knives, a plate of peanuts, and half a pound of pig ears, all of which were good dishes to go with wine.
After he went to Gu Ermazi's house to get a table and chairs, he simply went around the back mountain and came to the thatched house. He pushed the door, "Is Lao Feng here?"
The old, shabby wooden door creaked and opened.
