A 1970s mom raises a cute baby, and a crazy boss spoils her

Great Northwest

After receiving the fifty kilograms of fine grains sent by Gu Qinghuan, Zhong Ziyan took out forty kilograms and went to Secretary Li's house, and left the remaining ten kilograms for Bai Jie to eat. Her throat was not in good condition due to years of coughing, and she could not eat anything hard.

Of the 40 kilograms of grain, 35 kilograms were exchanged for various coarse grains as winter rations, and the remaining 5 kilograms of fine grains were given as a gift to Secretary Li's family to thank him for his care and help all the time.

I also gave her some hazelnuts, pine nuts, hazel mushrooms, pecans and other mountain products that my niece sent me.

He was reluctant to give away the pheasants and rabbits as they were rare meat, and he wanted to save them for Bai Jie to nourish her body.

Li Dacheng was happy to receive five kilograms of fine grains and mountain products. Although he was asked to take care of them, he was also happy that others were grateful to him, and he would be happy to help again in the future.

Moreover, these are five kilograms of fine grains, which can be exchanged for twenty kilograms of coarse grains, enough for the whole family to eat for most of half a month.

Not to mention the mountain products. The rural people in the Northwest have never seen these mountain products in their lives. In their eyes, these are the best things.

I didn't know how to eat these pine nuts and hazelnuts, so I had to ask Zhong Ziyan for advice.

It wasn’t that Zhong Ziyan didn’t want to give gifts to others in the past, but his family was really poor and he had nothing to give away.

There is not enough food to eat. I am already hungry, so how can I pretend to be rich?

Now it's good, with so much food, the military coat sent by my niece, and plenty of money and medicine.

This winter was much better. He walked with a breeze and was full of energy.

Ever since Gu Qinghuan sent the food and medicines, Bai Jie has been able to eat meals that suit her taste and receive targeted special medicines.

Her condition has improved visibly. Before, when she coughed, it seemed as if she was coughing out her entire lung, and sometimes there was blood.

Zhong Ziyan was worried that she had what the old people often called tuberculosis.

I didn’t expect that after taking the medicine for a period of time and improving my nutrition, my condition miraculously improved.

In the past, she coughed constantly every night and would get up many times at night. Worried that Zhong Ziyan would not sleep well, Bai Jie always forced herself to endure it. She could not sleep well, could not eat well, and had a lot of problems.

In recent nights, she has been able to sleep through the night without coughing.

I only cough a few times when I feel cold during the day.

And his complexion became visibly rosy.

You know your own illness.

Bai Jie thought she would not survive the winter, and she had actually secretly written a suicide note for her husband and daughter.

Unexpectedly, the special medicine sent by my niece was so effective and showed immediate results.

She now feels relaxed all over, no longer coughing or having chest tightness or shortness of breath. She has more energy to work and feels she can live for many more years.

The two people's spirits are very different.

There is just one thing: there has been no news from Zhong Luoning for a long time, and the couple couldn't help but feel a little worried.

-

Then Zhong Zijun returned home and told the old couple about the thrilling scene that happened on the mountain.

Cheng Shuying shouted "Amitabha" and wished the Bodhisattva to bless her.

Zhong Weiqian slammed the table so hard that it made a loud noise.

"This is really too much. I'm going to settle the score with him!"

Before, Wang Quezi secretly pushed Zhong Zijun down the hillside. Zhong Weiqian didn't know the murderer at that time. Later, Gu Qinghuan avenged him and the matter was forgotten.

This time he wanted to completely destroy Zhong Zijun, and even take her life. This is intolerable.

The old couple of the Zhong family know their daughter very well. She looks gentle and kind on weekdays, but she is stubborn in her bones.

If that big fool really accomplished this today, Zhong Zijun would probably not be able to survive. Even if she could just barely survive, she would not be happy.

She was such a strong person, how could she endure such a horrible thing as being stripped naked and paraded through the streets.

Cheng Shuying quickly grabbed him and said, "Don't panic, sit down! Didn't you hear what your daughter said? The man who saved her said he would find a way to deal with Wang Quezi.

Now the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. Don't act rashly or we may be caught by someone.

Besides, what can you, an old man with frail arms and legs, do if you go there? You are not even enough to fight with a fist."

Zhong Weiqian blew his beard and glared in dissatisfaction. How could he be old? He was obviously still very young.

But what my wife said makes sense. If I expose this kind of thing out in the open, I will be the one who suffers. It would be better to do it secretly like Huanhuan did before.

There is no need to be open and aboveboard when dealing with such people.

After comforting the old man, Cheng Shuying took her daughter aside to ask about the details of what happened.

"We are really grateful to him this time. Although he does not seek any return, we cannot really give him nothing in return. That would be too unkind.

Besides, they gave us some game for free, which was very kind of them." Cheng Shuying considered.

"What your mother said makes sense. He is a gentleman and will not be ungrateful. We should not be mean people either. We have to repay the favor and cannot wait for Huanhuan to handle everything." Zhong Weiqian stroked his beard and nodded in approval.

Zhong Zijun pondered for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up and he thought of a return gift.

"I can make him a winter coat as a return gift. His cotton jacket is tattered and full of holes, and you can even see the cotton inside.

The grown man doesn't know how to do needlework. I guess he hasn't worn new clothes for a long time.

It’s just a little embarrassing…”

Making clothes is a very private matter, and it is even more embarrassing to make clothes for a strange man.

Although Cheng Shuying is old, she is very open-minded. She made the final decision: "Let's do it! Why are you embarrassed? It's embarrassing to have nothing to eat or wear. He is your lifesaver. There is nothing to be embarrassed about.

Didn't you say that his father was sent down with him? Why not make them both, one for each of them? You can't let the father be naked and watch his son wearing new clothes. I don't think he will be happy wearing them.

The only things our family can offer now are those wild game, which he sent us, and some food. Since he is so capable, he should not be short of these things.

Clothes are what he needs, so let’s give them to him.”

Zhong Weiqian also agreed with his wife.

"Your mother has a point."

After hearing what her parents said, Zhong Zijun stopped hesitating and just did what she said.

It will take some time to make clothes for two people. I hope they can wear them in winter.

But she still needed to measure the size. She could roughly estimate Ji Linhai's size based on her eyesight, but she had never seen the old man, so she had no idea where to start.

Gu Qinghuan had sent me a lot of fabrics and cotton before, and they came in handy this time, so I didn’t have to buy them specially.

Although the colors of these fabrics are dull and not eye-catching, you can tell that they are high-quality materials as soon as you touch them.

After dinner that night, when most of the lights in the village were out, Zhong Zijun took the flashlight given by her daughter and some measuring tools and quietly went out.

Zhong Weiqian originally wanted to accompany her, but the animals in the cowshed suddenly became agitated, so he had to stay and watch them.

Zhong Zijun had to go by herself. Fortunately, the journey was only about ten minutes and she arrived in no time. She had not noticed before that the man lived in the cowshed near Huanhuan's house.

Because of what happened in the afternoon, Zhong Zijun was terrified all the way. After finally reaching her destination, she wanted to escape again.

It was really embarrassing to go to a man's house in the middle of the night and tell him that she wanted to make clothes for him and take his measurements. She was not a village auntie and could not do such a straightforward and bold thing.

He paced hesitantly at the door for a long time, but didn't have the courage to knock.

Ji Linhai inside heard the voice and yelled, "Who is it?"

Zhong Zijun was frightened by his powerful voice and wanted to run away immediately.

The next second, the door opened.

Zhong Zijun stood there awkwardly picking her hands.

Ji Linhai discovered in the dim moonlight that it was her.

"Big sister, why are you here? Is there something wrong? Come in and talk." Ji Linhai opened the door.

Zhong Zijun followed reluctantly and whispered, "I'm sorry to bother you guys so late."

After thinking for a while, she added: "It's too conspicuous to come during the day..."

Ji Linhai said sympathetically: "I understand. Come in and sit down. The house is very messy. Please don't mind it."

Zhong Zijun took a glance and found that the house was not that shabby. Although it looked shabby on the outside, it was fully equipped and clean on the inside.

Such are the conditions in the countryside, there is nothing we can do about it. For two men, it is already pretty good to be able to live like this.

"Lin Hai, who is it?"

The voice of Mr. Ji came from the small house inside.

Ji Linhai shouted, "It's the little girl's mother."

Little girl is what they call Gu Qinghuan.

"Big sister, please sit down." Ji Linhai took out a small stool he had made and swept it with his sleeve before letting Zhong Zijun sit down.

After a rustling sound, Mr. Ji ran out, neatly dressed, with a smile on his face.

"Oh my, what a rare guest! Please take a seat! Go and pour some water for the guest, you little brat."

Ji Linhai was unhappy that his old father called him a bad boy in front of the guests, so he went to get some water with a sullen face.
