Chapter 198: Eating Melon in the Age of Literature (10)
In the impression of the original owner Gu Xiaoni, the former Gu Xiaoni was also very envious and admired Gu Changhe.
I think he is the most promising person in Gujiacun.
After marrying into a large courtyard and seeing Gu Changhe's "grievance" with her own eyes, Gu Xiaoni's filter shattered to pieces.
However, Gu Qingcheng doesn't think too much.
Good or bad is Gu Changhe's choice.
We are all adults and we must be responsible for our own choices.
only--
Looking at the cheerful Bai Sini, Gu Qingcheng became less optimistic about this couple.
When women are strong and men are weak, it is really easy for problems to arise in this era of transition from old to new.
I wish I had thought more!
Although Widow Liu is a bit rude, she is not a bad person.
Bai Sini is also a hard-working and responsible person.
Looking at the details of her relationship with Gu Changhe, we should also know that she and Gu Changhe should have feelings.
I hope this couple can keep their original intentions and live happily ever after.
At night, Gu Qingcheng hugged Qiao Qiao and slept on the same bed as Widow Liu.
Listening to Widow Liu's snoring, Gu Qingcheng thought silently and slowly fell into sleep.
Early the next morning, there was the sound of water being collected in the yard, the crow of chickens and the jingling of bicycle bells coming from the street.
Gu Qingcheng got up and took Qiao Qiao with her. The mother and daughter briefly washed themselves.
Gu Changhe has already prepared breakfast, including multi-grain porridge from Sanhe noodles, multi-grain steamed buns from Sanhe noodles, and a plate of finely chopped pickles.
"Xiao Ni, come and eat!"
Gu Changhe greeted Gu Qingcheng with a smile. He also bent down and pinched Qiao Qiao's little face, "Qiao'er, are you hungry?"
Qiao Qiao's eyes were watery, with a bit of timidity and uneasiness.
She held Gu Qingcheng's hand tightly, not daring to dodge or speak directly.
She subconsciously raised her head to look at Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng: ...Oh, what happened last night scared the child after all.
However, there is nothing we can do about it.
With grandparents like Old Man Qiao and Ma, Qiao Qiao was destined not to have an easy and happy childhood.
"Eat! Also, what do you want to say to uncle?"
Gu Qingcheng said to Qiao Qiao softly.
"Thank you uncle!"
Qiao Qiao was taught well by the original owner and Qiao Jianguo. When she heard Gu Qingcheng's advice, she sweetly said something to Gu Changhe.
"Hey! You're welcome! Oh, how old is this kid? He is so sensible?"
Gu Changhe was very surprised to see Qiao Qiao be so well-behaved and cute.
He and Bai Sini only have one son, and his son is seven years old, which is the age where people hate dogs.
Where has he seen such a soft and waxy little girl?
He reached out and picked up Qiao Qiao and placed her on the chair next to the Eight Immortals table.
Qiao Qiao was so nervous that her face turned pale.
Gu Qingcheng quickly followed her with a smile and said, "Don't be afraid, uncle likes you!"
Only then did Qiao Qiao relax.
After Widow Liu and Bai Sini came to the table, everyone started to use their chopsticks.
After dealing with the two of them briefly, Gu Qingcheng was ready to leave.
She took out fifty cents and one tael of food stamps and gave them to Widow Liu.
These days, rations are based on head.
Every household is not rich.
Unless there are special circumstances, under normal circumstances, few people go to other people's homes to eat.
Even if you want to go, those who understand the rules and understand the rules will bring their own food rations.
Gu Qingcheng was at Bai's house, staying overnight and having breakfast.
Even though we are neighbors, even though we are somewhat related, we cannot really feel at ease.
Money and food stamps must be given.
"Oh, you kid, why are you so polite? Are you a heretic?"
Widow Liu said something to refuse, but she still accepted it.
She nodded secretly in her heart: This Gu Xiaoni is a good and well-behaved child.
"Qiaoer's mother, have you eaten?"
Gu Qingcheng was about to say goodbye to Widow Liu when Fang Yaozhong walked in while shouting.
"Master!"
Gu Qingcheng and Widow Liu both stood up.
Fang Yaozhong is the man in charge of the front yard, which actually doesn't mean anything.
However, Fang Yaozhong is the technical master of the machinery factory and the only eighth-level fitter.
The monthly salary of 97 yuan is not much worse than that of the boss.
In the factory, leaders and workers all respected him.
In the large courtyard, most of them are employees of the machinery factory.
Juniors like Lu Xinhua and Qiao Jianguo are even apprentices.
After some of them entered the factory, they were assigned to Fang Yaozhong.
Although the "masters and apprentices" of these days are not as disciplined as in the old days, they are not the schools of later generations.
If the master is willing, the apprentice can still learn some unique skills.
In order to learn real skills from Fang Yaozhong, Qiao Jianguo served Fang Yaozhong with tea and water and beat his waist and back.
During the New Year, even if he is a neighbor, Old Man Qiao will ask Qiao Jianguo to give gifts to Fang Yaozhong.
Because of Fang Yaozhong's skills and status in his factory, he also has special "prestige" in Dazayuan.
Which family does not have children, and whose children do not want to be apprentices in factories.
As long as you learn technology, you can't avoid the "uncle" Fang Yaozhong.
Therefore, even though Bai Sini was not in the factory but in the guest house, Widow Liu was still very polite to Fang Yaozhong.
Fang Yaozhong nodded towards Widow Liu as a greeting.
Then, he said directly to Gu Qingcheng, "Qiaoer's mother, do you really want to go back to your parents' home?"
Gu Qingcheng nodded.
Fang Yaozhong sighed, but didn't say anything.
Last night, after Gu Qingcheng and his wife were taken away by Widow Liu, Fang Yaozhong did not leave Qiao's house directly, but had a good talk with Old Man Qiao.
He wanted to persuade Old Man Qiao not to do something so cruel.
After all, she is her son's widow and her biological granddaughter. How can she be kicked out just like that?
But old man Qiao was holding his neck and refused to let go.
Fang Yaozhong talked a lot, but Old Man Qiao was still a little anxious: "This job belongs to our Qiao family, I can give it to whomever I want!"
"Besides, I didn't kick Gu Xiaoni out. She doesn't want to stay in our Qiao family. Why should I kneel down and beg her?"
Fang Yaozhong: ...why is this old man so unreasonable?
If you don't take over and ask your daughter-in-law to marry your nephew, can Gu Xiaoni hide out to avoid suspicion?
"Oh, I'm unreasonable, I'm just being mean! Fang Yaozhong, how damn good are you?"
"You just don't have any relatives in your hometown. If your damn brother has a son, you will adopt him!"
Seeing Fang Yaozhong's disapproval, Old Qiao, who had always had a bad temper, was not used to it at all.
Humph, they all live in the same courtyard, and no one knows who is who?
Fang Yaozhong's two daughters did not recruit sons-in-law like the Bai family in the backyard.
I would rather promote my apprentice than drag my daughter or son-in-law away.
What does he want to do?
Aren’t you just like yourself, wanting to have a “son” to take care of you until you die?
In the past, it was because of Qiao Jianguo that old man Qiao wanted his son to follow Fang Yao in middle school technology.
Old Man Qiao was very polite to Fang Yaozhong, and he was also vaguely flattering.
But, now that his son is dead, Old Man Qiao is not willing to endure it anymore!
Fang Yaozhong was slapped directly in the face, and he couldn't get off the stage for a while.
In the large courtyard, he is the boss in charge.
When he went to the machinery factory, he was a master who was even polite to the leaders.
When did he get squeezed like this?
However, Fang Yaozhong can't be angry yet——
Qiao Jianguo died to save himself.
No matter how bastard Old Qiao is, he is still Qiao Jianguo's biological father.
If Fang Yaozhong gets into a fight with Old Man Qiao, outsiders will definitely accuse him of being ungrateful and repaying kindness with hatred!
Made!
There is really no way to control this mess in the Qiao family!
With a flick of his sleeve, Fang Yaozhong left Qiao's house.
When he came to the yard and let the night breeze blow, Fang Yaozhong calmed down again.
Don't be angry!
Gu Xiaoni, an orphan and widower, was left behind by Qiao Jianguo.
Alas, if someone saves you, you must repay him.
Fang Yaozhong will be valued by people in the streets and factories, not only because of his skills, but also because he is kind enough.
After standing in the yard and thinking about it, Fang Yaozhong had an idea.
He started knocking on doors from door to door——
"This is thirty-nine yuan, all donated by the neighbors of the compound."
"As for you, if you really go back to your parents' home, just take the money."
Fang Yaozhong pushed a wad of scattered banknotes to Gu Qingcheng.
He didn't say that out of the thirty-nine yuan, he took fifteen yuan himself.
Zhu Jinshui, the second uncle in the backyard, also took ten yuan in order not to fall behind Fang Yaozhong.
The rest of the money was collected by other neighbors one by one and eighty cents each.
In addition to Widow Liu and the Qiao family, the neighbors in the front and back yards all donated money.
"this--"
Gu Qingcheng was somewhat moved.
He also seemed to appreciate the kindness and simplicity unique to this era.
"Take it! Don't refuse! After all, we are neighbors in the same yard. We all grew up watching Jianguo!"
In order to avoid Gu Qingcheng's refusal, Fang Yaozhong handed her the money, got up and left.
"Oh! I didn't know about this!"
"Otherwise, Qiao'er's mother, you can take these fifty cents back."
Widow Liu was a little uncomfortable. She said "Qiaoer's mother", but she shouted at Fang Yaozhong's back.
Fang Yaozhong paused for a moment, did not look back, but continued walking to the front yard.
"No! Auntie, in addition to being neighbors, we are also relatives."
Gu Qingcheng did not ask for the fifty cents that Widow Liu pushed back, but said with a smile, "It was Brother Changhe who made the connection with you when I was able to marry Jianguo. I will always remember this love."
"Okay, it's getting late. I'm in a hurry to get home, so I won't tell you first."
"Let's talk later!"
As Gu Qingcheng spoke, he stuffed the money into his pants pocket.
She picked up Qiao Qiao and said goodbye to Widow Liu.
"Hey! Let's talk later!"
Widow Liu didn't think much about it, just thinking that "goodbye" was just a casual comment from Gu Qingcheng.
"I'll give it to you!"
Widow Liu bounced her little feet and enthusiastically walked out of the house with Gu Qingcheng and her daughter.
As soon as we arrived in the yard, a young man came out of the west wing.
"Hey! Hua Zi, are you awake? It's okay, you can get out of bed now!"
Widow Liu had sharp eyes. When she saw that familiar figure, she opened her mouth to say hello.
As soon as she finished speaking, Widow Liu felt a little regretful.
She subconsciously went to Gu Qingcheng——
These two are the Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing that Ma mentioned!
