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

Gu Qinghuan didn't want to reveal her wound in front of Zhong Luoning.

She just reached out and slapped him on the head: "Come and make the dumplings! I'll go boil water and steam them." Before leaving, Gu Qinghuan gave him a killing look to signal him to stop asking.

Gu Lanting could only swallow his doubts and take the little ones to make dumplings.

Xu Huaian has already scrubbed the steamer clean.

Gu Qinghuan put the wrapped buns into the steamer and waited for them to ferment for the second time before starting to steam them.

The dining table at home was not ready yet, so the family gathered around the low table in the living room, listening to music on the radio, eating melon seeds and chatting, waiting for the buns to be steamed. The atmosphere was very good.

Chatting and laughing, almost half an hour passed quickly and the buns were steamed.

Each person had a bowl of millet porridge and a large bowl of buns of various shapes.

The children happily looked for the buns they had made.

Dabao found two buns he had made and handed one to Xu Huaian and the other to Gu Qinghuan.

"Mom and Dad, eat the buns I made."

Beibei was not to be outdone and found two buns from her bag and handed them over: "Give mine to mom and dad, too."

Lan Ting pretended to be unhappy and said, "You only gave it to mom and dad and not to uncle?"

Dabao and Beibei quickly found another bun for their uncle.

Seeing this, You Ran seemed to be thinking about something. She suddenly picked up a bun she had made and placed it in front of her mother: "Mom, eat it."

Zhong Luo Ning was stunned for a second, her eyes full of sadness and touching. The child could imitate other people's behavior, and the action was so heartwarming.

She took the bun, took a big bite and said, "Thank you, Youran."

Only then did You Ran become happy.

The family started eating buns happily.

Zhong Luoning ate one third of the buns her daughter gave her. She couldn't stand the smell of oil and felt nauseous, so Gu Qinghuan let her drink some porridge.

Millet porridge is good for the stomach and was made specially for her.

Fortunately, the millet porridge was delicious. Zhong Luoning drank a small bowl and went back to the house to rest.

After dinner, Gu Qinghuan used spiritual spring water to boil some medicine for her and sent it to her. She had already fallen asleep.

Gu Qinghuan tiptoed downstairs and after sending the children to bed, she told Gu Lanting what had happened during the day.

Lan Ting was so excited that he was about to rush out and hit someone.

"Why are you so excited? Can you use your brain for everything? You can't even see Xu Jianguo now. He is detained by the police. We should think of a way to suppress Xu Jianguo and not let him have a chance to turn over.

What can you do if you beat him up? You can only send yourself to jail. "Why is this kid so impulsive? It's worrying.

"Sister, I understand. What should we do now?" Gu Lanting was depressed.

To be honest, Gu Qinghuan didn't know what to do. Xu Jianguo was a member of the Revolutionary Committee. If there were anyone protecting him, the matter would be in jeopardy.

But she still has a trump card in her hand, which cannot be used unless it is absolutely necessary.

She thought about it. If the officials on Xu Jianguo's side protected him and kept him safe, she would ask someone to release the photos she had taken before and make a big fuss, preferably one that would be on the news. She would use the power of public opinion to force the people behind him to abandon their own interests and not dare to protect him anymore.

However, once this method is used, it means that Sister Luo Ning’s private affairs will be exposed to the public. From then on, she may never have peace, and people will point fingers at and gossip about her wherever she goes.

There are too many restrictions on women in this era. Although they are clearly the victims, they are forced to endure a lot of gossip.

So she didn't want to go that far unless it was absolutely necessary.

Xu Huaian reminded: "I wonder if the old classmate of your mother-in-law you mentioned last time can help find out something."

"Yes, how could I forget Uncle Xu? Although we are in different jurisdictions, he is always better at getting information than us. I will go to him tomorrow." Gu Qinghuan made up his mind.

Speaking of connections, Gu Lanting also thought of someone.

"Sister, have you forgotten Uncle Zhang who helped you change your place? Doesn't he also work in the Revolutionary Committee? We can still ask him about the situation."

If Lan Ting hadn't said it, Gu Qinghuan would have almost forgotten about this person. After all, it was the original body who came to him for help, and the two families didn't have much intersection.

At that time, the original body knew that his stepmother had signed him up to go to the countryside, to the northwest, and he was angry and anxious. He remembered that his mother had said before she left that if he had any problems, he could go to Uncle Zhang Zheng of the Revolutionary Committee for help, so he went to find him.

This uncle named Zhang Zheng was also a former student of my grandfather Zhong Weiqian. When the Zhong family was in trouble, he intervened. Although he failed to save the Zhong family, he at least arranged a more suitable place for them to be relocated.

Later, for Zhong Weiqian's sake, he helped the original body change the place of his rural work from the Northwest to the Northeast.

Come to think of it, the original body had never thanked him properly and hadn't even given him a piece of fruit. So, it seems that Uncle Zhang is a kind and righteous person.

I have to visit him tomorrow with gifts.

After a brief discussion, the three of them went to bed.

Gu Qinghuan's room was right next to Zhong Luoning's room. She slept very lightly and kept an eye on what was going on in Zhong Luoning's room.

In the middle of the night, Zhong Luoning was talking in her sleep and screaming loudly, crying loudly, which woke up Gu Qinghuan.

She quickly got up and went over.

Maybe people are most vulnerable in the middle of the night, and any emotion in their hearts will be magnified. Zhong Luoning looked like she was about to break down, with tears pouring down her face, and she was completely different from the calmness she was during the day.

She half sat on the bed, hugging her legs tightly.

"Huanhuan, I dreamed that You Ran fell from the building again. There was blood! There was so much blood that I couldn't wipe it clean no matter how hard I tried."

You Ran was sleeping soundly next to her, completely unaware that her mother had a nightmare because of her.

It seemed that the terrifying moment during the day did not leave any deep impression in her mind.

"Sister Luo Ning, dreams are the opposite of what they actually are. Look, Youran is here, soundly sleeping."

Gu Qinghuan was worried that their conversation would wake You Ran up, so she carefully carried her to her bed and slept with Bei Bei.

"Huanhuan, I want to take a shower. My hands are dirty. I'm dirty all over. Xu Jianguo made me dirty." Zhong Luoning said while feeling nauseous and wanted to vomit but couldn't.

"Sister, I'll go get you some water to wipe the wound on your wrist. You can't let raw water touch the wound, okay?" Gu Qinghuan knew that she must have remembered what happened last night and felt sick.

Zhong Luo Ning was as helpless as a little animal, huddled in the corner of the bed and constantly tearing at her clothes.

"I feel uncomfortable, I feel so uncomfortable." Not only physically, but also psychologically, it feels like there is a big hole in my body that cannot be plugged.

Gu Qinghuan went downstairs and quickly fetched a basin of hot water. Fortunately, she was using a charcoal stove now and had the habit of keeping warm water on the stove every night, so she could still have hot water available.

Gu Qinghuan took a new snow-white towel and wiped her over and over again.
