Seeing his daughter's expectant eyes, Jian Shu hesitated for a rare moment, "Uh, this..."
"No!" Gu Mingjing roared.
"Why?"
Gu Mingjing was about to answer when Jian Shu stomped on his foot. "Speak properly, don't get excited. If you can't speak, let me do it."
"Then you should do it." Gu Mingjing was reluctant, but he couldn't help but get excited.
Jianshu rolled his eyes at him and said, "Useless thing, get out!"
He walked over and sat face to face with his daughter, his expression serious, "Yi Yi, marriage is a big deal, you have to choose someone you like."
"I like them very much." Gu Yiyi said innocently.
"That's different. This kind of liking is liking friends, just like you like them, but you like Huahua more, right?"
Gu Yiyi's eyes lit up, "Huahua is my best friend."
"That's it. You are still young and can't tell what love is. It's too early for you to get married. Most importantly, you are not old enough to get married." What a bunch of little brats, what kind of marriage are you getting!
Gu Yiyi felt a little regretful. "Alas, if that happens, Duoduo and the others will definitely be sad. Let's wait until I grow up."
Seeing that she hadn't given up, Jian Shu's mouth twitched slightly, and he said quietly, "Yi Yi, bigamy is illegal in our country. One person cannot marry multiple people at the same time."
Upon hearing the word "illegal", Gu Yiyi was startled and immediately changed his words, "Yiyi will not marry them! Let them be sad."
She couldn't break the law. If she did, Grandpa Qian would arrest her and put her in jail! She didn't want to go to jail!
Jianshu: "..." It seems that her daughter has some potential to be a scumbag.
Seeing that his daughter had given up the idea, Gu Mingjing felt much better, but when he thought of those little bastards, he couldn't help but grit his teeth.
No, he needs to be taught a lesson. He's so young and still thinking about other girls. How frivolous! He needs to stay away from them.
Jianshu saw what he was thinking and stopped him, "Alright, they are just kids playing around, they don't have any bad intentions, don't take it seriously." Who hasn't played house as a kid?
As long as it doesn't cross the line, there is no need to make a big deal about children playing with each other.
However, what happened today also reminded her that it’s okay to play around, but you have to keep your distance, and taking advantage of others is absolutely not allowed.
I'll have to give my daughter a lesson later and teach her how to protect herself.
Gu Mingjing was unhappy, but since his wife had spoken, he couldn't do anything.
But he was always unhappy. In the next few days, when he sent his daughter to school, his eyes couldn't help but wander back and forth to other boys.
The child had no idea what adults were thinking and was very curious about this unfamiliar face. After learning that he was Gu Yiyi's father, he immediately became enthusiastic and called him "uncle" affectionately.
Gu Mingjing: “…” They are so enthusiastic, but each one of them has bad intentions.
When the vacation ended, Gu Mingjing left with a lot of worries, fearing that his daughter would be abducted by someone else while he was away.
No, he has to transfer back to Beijing as soon as possible and keep a close eye on his daughter, otherwise he will be worried.
Gu Mingjing was working even harder over there, and after Jianshu sent off a group of people, school was about to start.
As soon as I arrived at the dormitory, I had endless things to talk about with my friends whom I hadn’t seen for two months.
"More and more educated youth are returning to the city. During the summer vacation, some of them asked for leave to go home to visit their families. But guess what happened? They left and never came back." Ge Mei shared the latest news from her area with her friends.
"Many of them ran away secretly and never came back. There are many educated youth returning to the city. There are some near my home. Because they ran away secretly and had no food rations, their families quarreled and made a lot of noise every day." Zhou Yanan nodded and revealed some new information.
Many families are already struggling with food shortages, and adding one more person to the bill means everyone else has to eat less. Those who are being exploited are naturally unwilling to work. Why should they support someone who eats for free?
But those who returned to the city also had their opinions. Didn't he sacrifice himself for his family when he went to the countryside? After so many years of working in the fields with a hoe, he was no different from a countryman.
But his brothers had good jobs in the city, married good wives and had children. They didn't have to work hard in the fields and were still clean city dwellers.
Why!
They originally owed him something, but now that he's back, they can't even bear to give him some food. What a heartless bunch!
After hearing the general outline of the incident, the others felt somewhat complicated.
It is really not easy to determine who is right and who is wrong in this matter.
The experiences of this generation are unique, and oftentimes, outsiders cannot evaluate them.
"It's a bit unsettled out there right now. Yanan, try to stay in the dormitory. It's safer that way," Li Yuying reminded him. "A few days ago, someone stole pork from the kitchen of a house near my home. The old lady cursed at the entrance of the alley for a long time, but it was no use. She might have already eaten it."
"Hiss—are you that brave?" Wei Ye was shocked. "Then Yanan, don't go back to the house you bought. Stay with me and Amei. Come back when things are calmer."
Zhou Yanan wasn't the type to be ungrateful, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Everyone thought this was temporary and would soon pass. Only Jianshu knew that this was just the beginning.
With the gradual opening up, not only did a large number of self-employed people with annual income of over 10,000 yuan emerge, but the number of people who just wanted to take shortcuts also increased, and the crime rate soared.
At first, it was just petty theft, which gradually progressed to burglary. It was not until the three-year crackdown in 1983 that the social atmosphere was completely cleaned up.
"Alas, there are simply too many people, with no work and no food. With so many people sitting around doing nothing all day, wouldn't that just make things easy for something to happen?"
Now that I think about it, it was really necessary for educated youth to go to the countryside.
"But the jobs in the city are so limited, how can there be any extra for others?"
"If you don't have a job, you should find a way out. You can't just rely on crooked means. Isn't Gao's brother-in-law also unemployed, but isn't he also trying to support his family? In my opinion, those who steal and cheat are just doing the wrong thing."
"That's right. Now that things are being relaxed, more and more people are starting small businesses. Why do they have to steal and cheat? No matter how pitiful they are, it's no excuse for them to break the law!"
Everyone in the dormitory cannot tolerate those petty thefts.
No matter how pitiful the thieves are, no one owes them anything. If they are pitiful, does that mean the people whose things were stolen deserve it?
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about those unhappy things." Li Yuying interrupted the discussion. Then she took out a stack of big unity bills from her bag and handed it to Wei Ye, "Ye Zi, this is the money I borrowed from you before. Now I'm returning it to you."
Wei Ye withdrew his hand and refused to take it. "Sister Ying, there's no rush for this money. You can keep it for now. You still have two children to support at home. You can pay me back when you have more money."
It has only been more than two months. Even if Gao's brother-in-law makes some money by tinkering with things, how much can it be?
I'm afraid all the money I earned is here.
