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

He didn't stop until his arms were rubbed red and his hands were washed countless times.

She curled up in the quilt, wrapping herself tightly.

"Sister Luo Ning, don't be afraid. You still have Youran and us. You will be happy in the future and no one can hurt you anymore." Gu Qinghuan comforted her.

There was a long silence, so long that she thought Zhong Luoning would not speak.

"Huanhuan, you know, there have been countless times in the past few years when I wanted to end my life and take Youran with me.

The pressure of life makes me breathless; my child's illness makes me hate myself and hate life; my husband's betrayal and insults make me sad and desperate; the gossip, attacks and insults from my parents-in-law and outsiders make me collapse countless times and feel miserable.

The most ridiculous thing is that people like me have to consider the consequences even when they collapse.

Whenever I want to give up on myself, I will take out the letters from my parents and grandparents and read them.

I told myself, your parents and relatives have suffered a thousand times, ten thousand times more than you, and they have not given up. You cannot be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

I couldn't bear it either. You Ran was so young... She hadn't seen what the world was like yet.

So I told myself, just hold on, one day you will get through it.

My tolerance and compromise did not win other people's conscience, but only intensified torture and humiliation.

Were all the things I was taught since childhood wrong? I shouldn't be kind to others, I shouldn't be tolerant, and I shouldn't raise a tiger to cause trouble.

I have worked so hard in my life, am I really not worthy of being loved, and can only be let down, deceived, and abandoned? "

She no longer understands this world or human nature.

Gu Qinghuan realized that her depression was probably not formed in a few days, but rather accumulated over many years.

Her life has undergone tremendous changes in recent years, and I'm afraid she has been under a lot of pressure and pain.

For the sake of her children and her family who are still suffering, she can only move forward with pain.

Gu Qinghuan patted her back gently.

“When the mirror is dirty, you don’t think it’s your face that’s dirty, so why do you think it’s you who’s the bad guy when someone treats you badly?

If things don't go as planned, then God must have other plans.

If you are heading in the wrong direction, then stopping is the biggest progress.

We have been taught since childhood to treat everyone sincerely, but experience tells us that not everyone deserves to be treated sincerely.

Even if you misjudge people, even if you are let down, even if you hit a wall, at least it proves one thing: you are good.

You just gave your heart to the wrong person.

Whether it is a lover, relative, or friend, it is meaningful only when loving and being loved happen at the same time. It is never a one-man show.

Keep your sincerity for those who love and care about you. Stay away from those who are insincere and abandon them as soon as possible.

The world is big, and everyone can live well without anyone else. For the rest of your life, love the people who love you with all your heart, and cherish the people who love you.

You will find that life is actually beautiful and everything will be fine, believe me! "

After hearing her consolation, Zhong Luo Ning felt as if he had suddenly been enlightened.

Yes, giving one's true heart to the wrong person is a disaster. Why should she force an unequal relationship and allow herself to fade into the dust to accommodate others?

If you are not interested, I will give up. If she could understand this truth earlier, she would not have tortured herself for so many years.

I will not do it again.

The two sisters chatted for a long time until the sky turned pale in the east and then they fell asleep side by side.

Gu Qinghuan used her eloquent speech and unique perspective as a modern woman to confuse Zhong Luoning.

Later on, the topic took a 180-degree turn and ended up talking about career.

In short, he talked about all sorts of things and boasted about everything, and finally managed to appease Zhong Luo Ning.

Gu Qinghuan and Zhong Luoning woke up late after sleeping. The three little ones tried to push their way in through the door to find their mother, but Xu Huaian ruthlessly dragged them to the yard to take care of the little white rabbit.

He was alert even when he was sleeping, and he noticed the noise yesterday. I guess the two sisters had a lot of heart-to-heart talks last night.

Xu Huaian made today's breakfast, continuing to cook the stomach-nourishing red date millet porridge, and paired it with the big meat buns left over from last night and the small radish kimchi that Gu Qinghuan pickled herself.

There are no classes at Lanting School during the holidays, so I am taking care of the children at home.

Xu Huaian gave him the glorious and arduous task of teaching the children to write big characters.

Gu Qinghuan slept until noon before getting up. Remembering that he had many plans for the day, he felt anxious and got ready first, then went downstairs to have breakfast.

While eating breakfast, he arranged for Xu Huaian to prepare gifts.

She will visit Zhang Zheng first this morning, and then go to the police station to find Xu Lei.

In the original body's memory, Zhang Zheng was a kind uncle who had helped him many times without asking for anything in return.

This time when she visits, she must bring some decent gifts to show her sincerity, and thank him for his previous help. After all, it is a favor for others to help you, and not helping is their duty.

Of course the gift was in duplicate, one for Zhang Zheng and one for Xu Lei.

Xu Lei hadn't thanked anyone for his help before.

Gu Qinghuan quickly finished her breakfast and then tidied herself up.

Today you are mainly meeting elders and asking them to do things for you, so the lower the profile, the better.

Gu Qinghuan put on the purple floral jacket she had bought before and matched it with black cotton pants.

She just braided her hair into a big braid hanging behind her head, and simply put some cream on her face.

It does look a lot more ordinary.

Of course Xu Huaian prepared the gifts in the space.

Gu Qinghuan packed up and prepared his gift.

First of all, the specialties of Northeast China.

Some dried fruits such as hazelnuts, pine nuts, pecans, red dates, etc.

Some hazel mushrooms, schisandra chinensis, and black fungus.

One dried pheasant and one dried rabbit.

Then, in order to please the other party, Xu Huaian found two boxes of tea in Gu Qinghuan's selection warehouse. It was called Junshan Yinzhen, and it looked quite good.

He simply removed the beautiful packaging and only put it in a box, so there was no clue.

Gu Qinghuan usually doesn't organize the warehouse. He will look for what he needs later. You won't know until you see it, but there are so many good things.

There are many dried goods such as 35-head yellow fish maw, morels, seaweed, scallops, dried shrimps, and shrimps.

Xu Huaian also picked up some and packed them up to take with him.

When Gu Qinghuan came in, he had already packed two packages.

You can’t see anything from the outside, but inside there is everything you need, including food and drink.

Gu Qinghuan took a quick look through it and found that Xu Huaian was very reliable.

I was originally planning to take two more bottles of wine, but the wines from later generations are not as good as the wines from this era, so I just gave up. Having these is enough and it's already very presentable.

First, build up your relationships, as you will of course have to give people gifts in the future. It’s not good to be too exaggerated when you visit them the first time, as this may scare people.

After packing up, the two of them went out with the gifts. Someone was taking care of the child today, so Gu Qinghuan and Xu Huaian went together.

The two men arrived downstairs at the Revolutionary Committee. The four-story building was quite impressive. After explaining their situation and identities to the guard, they waited at the door for a while before being allowed to go in and look for someone.

The control was quite strict. The guard originally wanted to conduct a routine check of their bags, but Xu Huaian immediately took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to him, indicating that he should be flexible. The guard smiled and let them pass.

The two of them arrived at Zhang Zheng's office smoothly.

Zhang is a cadre who graduated from a formal professional school. He has always been conscientious and cautious in his job. He is tactful and alert in his dealings, which is why he has the current situation.

To put it simply, the Revolutionary Committee is a revolutionary committee composed of the "three-in-one" combination of military cadres, veteran cadres, and representatives of the revolutionary masses.

Most of the directors of revolutionary committees across the country are military cadres.

Zhang Zheng has been in business for many years, but he is only the deputy director, and there is a director above him.

When the two knocked on the door, Zhang was busy writing something.

"Bang bang..."

"Come in." He wrote the last stroke and closed the cap of the pen.

Gu Qinghuan forced out a warm smile and walked in first: "Uncle Zhang, long time no see!"

Zhang Zheng looked up and saw... Is this... the girl from Teacher Zhong's family? Why is her face changing?

I remember that she came to see him last year. At that time, she was like a little crybaby, crying and unable to speak clearly. But today she is very open and confident.

"Hey, little girl, you brought someone with you, are you getting married?"

Gu Qinghuan smiled shyly: "You have seen through it. This is my lover Xu Huaian. Huaian, this is Uncle Zhang."

Xu Huaian followed suit and called for help, while extending his hand and keeping a low profile.

"Congratulations, and I wish you and your husband a long and happy marriage." Zhang Zheng did not hesitate to shake Xu Huaian's hand.

The young couple seems to be a perfect match, with both being talented and pretty.

"Haha, thank you for your help. If you hadn't helped me switch places, Huai'an and I wouldn't have had this fate. I came here today to bring you some local specialties from the Northeast. They're not worth much, so I hope you don't mind."

Gu Qinghuan brought the topic to the gift and deliberately said it was not valuable, just to make him feel at ease to accept it.

Xu Huaian immediately handed over the bag, which contained some dried fruits. Zhang Zheng took a look at them and found that they were indeed some local specialties, so he did not refuse.

"Thank you, niece, for traveling all the way to bring me these specialties. You've worked hard. Please take a seat!

What's the matter with you coming here this time? Tell me, please." Zhang Zheng said half-jokingly and half-helplessly.

In the current situation, everyone is walking on thin ice. He lives in fear every day, fearing that he will be caught one day.

But he had no choice but to take the risk and take care of the Zhong family's affairs.

The old man of the Zhong family is not only his academic mentor, but also his teacher in life. Without Mr. Zhong, he would not be where he is today, so he must help within his ability to live up to his conscience.
