[Chapter 310 Chapter 310 Uncle Gu, can I treat you to a meal? ]
"Grandpa Gu, someone is looking for you at the door!"
After breakfast, when Doctor Gu was sitting in the house watching a few boys study, the little granddaughter of the old security guard came running over with two pigtails swinging and said to him.
Doctor Gu was stunned, not quite sure who would come to see him.
"Who is it?" Doctor Gu took out two pieces of homemade sweet potato candies from a porcelain jar and stuffed them into the little girl's hand, asking gently.
Before, Doctor Gu and Si Qin were doing carpentry work in the open space downstairs, and they had a good relationship with the old man who was the gatekeeper.
Occasionally, the two of them would make an appointment to play chess in the guard's small room, so he was very familiar with this little girl.
The little girl took the candy, put one in her mouth, and put the other carefully into her pocket.
Then he smiled and said, "I don't know her, she's an aunt."
An aunt?
That's strange.
Doctor Gu squinted his eyes and thought for a long time, but he couldn't think of anyone in Anhuai who knew him?
But he didn't hesitate, and handed Xiaoyi to Gu Lin, saying, "Xiao Si, keep an eye on Xiaoyi and don't let him eat anything else."
"Got it." Gu Lin put down his pencil and took the child.
Doctor Gu followed the little girl downstairs and walked to the front door, but didn't see anyone.
The little girl pointed to the west and said, "The aunt said she's waiting for you in front."
Doctor Gu frowned, but still walked west along the road.
There is a road in front of the tractor factory’s staff quarters. Going east is the residential area. It is quite prosperous along the way, with vegetable stores, grain stores, and local specialty stores all on this side.
Walking west is the direction to the factory.
This side is relatively desolate, mainly because there is a piece of wasteland between the staff quarters and the primary school in front.
Originally, a freight railway was planned to be built here, but it was not built for various reasons and has been shelved ever since.
Over time, the withered grass here is half a person's height. There are all kinds of mosquitoes, snakes and ants in the grass. Most people will subconsciously speed up their pace when they walk here and don't stay for long.
Doctor Gu walked along the road towards this side, but after taking a few steps, he saw a woman who was wrapped very tightly.
Although it is still cold now, it is spring after all.
Many people wear cotton-padded jackets, but not many people wear thick jackets, masks, and cotton hats, covering their entire bodies so that their faces cannot be seen.
Doctor Gu stopped suspiciously.
He was just about to ask this man what he wanted.
The woman suddenly took off her mask and called out, "Uncle Gu."
The voice was hoarse and nasal, sounding strange yet familiar.
Doctor Gu looked at the woman's face carefully, and was suddenly startled. He blurted out, "Miao Miao, why are you here?"
These words almost made Miao Xin's eyes wet again.
Miao Xin raised his head, trying hard to hold back the tears that were about to overflow from his eyes.
After a long while of calm, she looked at Doctor Gu again, tried to smile, and said, "Uncle Gu, I didn't expect to see you in Anhuai."
Doctor Gu was quite excited to see Miao Xin.
Seeing her cry, I felt a little sad.
Seeing that she had calmed down, Doctor Gu carefully looked at her face and asked, "What's wrong? Why do you look so bad? Are you sick? Stretch out your hand for me to see."
Miao Xin didn't expect that Doctor Gu could tell at a glance that something was wrong with her body. Hearing his concerned question, the tears that she had just held back could not help but fall.
She wiped it roughly, sniffed and said, "It's okay."
She didn't extend her hand, but looked at Doctor Gu and grinned again, and asked, "Uncle Gu, are you free? I want to treat you to a meal."
Seeing her forced smile, what else does Dr. Gu not understand?
He sighed: "You knew Jiabao followed me, so you came to see Jiabao, right?"
Hearing this name that was engraved in his heart and always hurt him whenever he thought of it, Miao Xin's tears fell again.
She did not deny it, but stubbornly asked again: "Uncle Gu, are you free? I want to treat you to a meal."
These words were spoken in a crying voice, with a pleading tone.
"Okay. You decide where to go. I'm not familiar with Anhuai." Doctor Gu did not refuse this time.
Miao Xin quickly wiped away his tears again and then smiled.
It seemed that Dr. Gu's agreement made her feel extremely happy.
She made an appointment with Dr. Gu to go to a state-owned restaurant near the garment factory.
Doctor Gu agreed with her on a time and told her to go first, saying that he was going back to the family compound to say hello.
The two went their separate ways.
After taking a few steps, Dr. Gu stopped and looked back.
Looking at Miao Xin's anxious back, which was almost jogging, he felt uncomfortable again.
The bitterness in his heart was so intense that even though he had experienced so much hardship, he couldn't hold it back and his nose began to feel sore.
Doctor Gu and Miao Xin's father were childhood friends. Both families had imperial physicians in their ancestry and they were from the same hometown, so they had quite a good relationship.
Unlike Dr. Gu who inherited his family's tradition, Miao Xin's father studied Western medicine and, despite his family's opposition, went abroad to study when he was a teenager.
In the 1940s, he returned to China with his wife and opened a clinic in the concession in Hai City.
It is said that business is good.
It was after the liberation that Dr. Gu saw Miao Xin's father again. By that time, Miao's father's clinic had long been nationalized, and he had returned to his hometown with his wife and children.
After returning, Miao's father went to Binhai Medical College as a teacher, while Miao's mother stayed in the affiliated hospital of the medical college and worked as a surgeon.
Miao's parents had only one daughter, Miao Xin, and they treated her like a treasure since she was young.
In addition to her good family conditions, it can be said that Miao Xin was raised and cared for like a little princess.
When she reached the age to start a family, she did not marry far away, but chose to marry her high school classmate, Mu Chengwang, the young owner of the very famous Mu's Braised Meat Shop in Binhai.
Of course, at that time, the Mu family’s marinated meat shop was also nationalized, and the Mu family was just a well-off family.
Mu Chengwang himself is a very outstanding young man. Not only is he handsome and gentle, but he is also a high school teacher with a stable job.
The Miao family was very satisfied with him.
The young couple got married with the blessings of both families.
Because they are all only children, their family conditions are also good.
So both sets of parents would give them money from time to time, and even during the most difficult years, the young couple never suffered any grievances.
until--
Movement is coming.
Miaomiao's parents have studied abroad and their family also opened a clinic in the concession. Most of the patients they received at that time were foreigners, capitalists, and wealthy people.
People with such identities are naturally the first to be defeated.
When Miaomiao's parents were beaten down, wearing dunce caps and paraded through the streets with signs hanging on their heads, Miaomiao had just given birth to her son Mu Jiabao and was not even out of the confinement period.
The Mu family was terrified.
After all, although their previous braised pork restaurant was handed over to the public, they were too fussy at the time and the ingredients were divided at a very high level.
Seeing the in-laws, who were always proud and respected, being handcuffed and paraded through the streets, being cursed, pelted with stones, and rotten vegetable leaves...
Mu Chengwang's father fell ill that day.
The old man was already old and had been frightened. In addition, the hospital was in a mess at that time, so it was difficult to find a decent doctor to see him.
So in less than a month, the old man was gone.
Immediately afterwards, a commotion broke out on the high school campus, and Mu Chengwang was also taken into custody and stood trial.
