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

The second time she went to Fang's house, she also played three games of Go, and was defeated by Fang Zhengping without a single move left.

This guy has a strong desire to win. After winning three games in a row, he immediately smiled with satisfaction.

It seems that since I won three games against him before, he still cares a lot. That’s good that he cares, I’m just afraid that he doesn’t care.

Ou Sumei secretly told her that Fang Zhengping had been studying the moves of Gobang these days and often asked her and Fang Zhihai to play chess together.

It was as if he was possessed by a demon. He worked so hard that he forgot to eat and sleep. She was worried that he might have contracted another disease before recovering from the previous one.

But the good thing is that he is immersed in studying Go and his emotions are becoming more and more stable. He has not shown any excitement and thrown things or smashed the wall in the past few days.

This is a good phenomenon.

Moreover, Fang Zhihai now calls him to go jogging every morning. From being reluctant on the first day, he now gets up consciously to go for morning exercise.

The Fang couple seemed to see the light.

After Fang Zhengping won three games against her, his curiosity about Gobang was completely gone.

He invited Gu Qinghuan to play Go with him. In comparison, he still liked Go more.

Although Gu Qinghuan knew a little about Go, her level was so bad that she was too embarrassed to face anyone. She naturally couldn't say it out loud, otherwise how would she, as a "doctor" and Go teacher, keep her face?

My mind raced for a few times and I came up with an idea.

"I'm a bit busy lately. How about this, if you want to play Go, my brother can accompany you. He has learned Go from my grandfather for many years and is pretty good at it."

This is true. Gu Lanting has been able to calm down and study since he was young. Zhong Weiqian has been teaching him to play Go since he was five years old.

Ou Sumei strongly supports her son to go out of the house. In the past few days, she has been following Gu Qinghuan's instructions, occasionally directing Fang Zhengping to help with chores at home, playing chess with him when he is free, and going out for a walk.

Fang Zhengping's performance is really much better than before. Although he is still immersed in his own world and doesn't like to talk to people, at least he doesn't lose his temper easily.

As a result, the mother and son became frequent visitors to Gu Qinghuan's home.

Gu Lanting knew that this older brother was her sister's "benefactor", so she naturally cooperated when asked to help him play chess or something.

Although Fang Zhengping is much older than Gu Lanting, when it comes to playing chess, they actually have a feeling of mutual respect and are evenly matched.

Whenever he had time, he would go straight to the Gu family, and he would ask his mother Ou Sumei to bring gifts along. The mother and son would sometimes stay together for a whole day and have a meal together.

Ou Sumei also got to taste the dishes cooked by Gu Qinghuan as she wished.

She originally thought that Xu Huaian's words were just a reflection of his lover's eyes seeing beauty in his wife, and that he thought his wife was perfect in every way.

I didn’t expect that what Xu Huaian said was actually true. This little girl, Gu Qinghuan, has amazing cooking skills and can cook all kinds of cuisine with ease.

Not only sweet and sour pork, but also Northeastern cuisine and Beijing cuisine are no problem for her.

Ou Sumei couldn't help but feel sorry for her. Gu Qinghuan looked like a fairy who was not of this world. She was also capable and had no problem with dealing with social situations at home and abroad. She was truly a wonderful person.

If only we hadn’t gotten married!

She will definitely find a matchmaker for her son.

Even though such things happened to the Gu family and the Zhong family, the merits outweigh the flaws. Gu Qinghuan is good enough in himself, and nothing else really matters. A family like theirs doesn't need any icing on the cake.

What a pity!

I heard from Lao Fang that Gu Qinghuan's man is from the countryside, which is such a pity.

Not only Ou Sumei felt sorry, Xiao Fengying who lived nearby also felt the same way.

Why is Gu Qinghuan so pessimistic that she wants to get married so early?

She has been coming here frequently recently. Since her son and Qu Hanwen are at work, there is no one to accompany her and she is stuck at home all day.

Being with those ladies, they either talk about family matters or go shopping and play mahjong, which is quite boring.

The Gu family has both young people and children, and is full of laughter. She likes the atmosphere of the Gu family very much, it’s very comfortable. Maybe people get older and they all like the hustle and bustle!

Gu Qinghuan didn't treat her as an outsider at all. Several people, including Ming Ruxue and Zhong Luoning, worked together to make winter vegetables.

The most common vegetables grown in Wu Ma’s field are radishes and cabbages, which are also two common vegetables eaten in the winter.

Cabbage can be pickled into sauerkraut or made into spicy cabbage.

Radishes can be soaked in water, pickled into slices, or dried and eaten together, which is also delicious.

In short, the wisdom of the working people is endless.

Zhong Luoning and Gu Lanting didn't suspect anything when Gu Qinghuan suddenly did these things. After all, they had been working in the countryside for a year and there was nothing they could do due to the pressure of life.

Gu Qinghuan took a few children to pull radishes and sing at the same time.

“Pull the radish, pull the radish, hey yo hey yo, pull the radish, hey yo hey yo, I can’t pull it out…” After singing it twice, Dabao and Beibei were able to follow the tune and sing along.

You Ran can't sing, but she is the most enthusiastic in pulling radishes, and her face and hands are covered with mud.

Ou Sumei and Xiao Fengying helped to chop the cabbage and picked off the rotten leaves.

For the two ladies who had never been involved in housework, this was the first time that a young lady got into a sedan chair, which was quite interesting.

Although the two had never met before, they found that the other party was quite to their liking through conversation and they had a very pleasant conversation.

Ming Ruxue and Zhong Luoning filled a large basin with warm water and sat in the yard to wash the freshly unearthed vegetables.

Two people who were playing chess in the study on the first floor saw the lively scene outside through the bright glass window and smiles appeared on their faces.

Gu Qinghuan directed everyone's work in an orderly manner according to each person's strengths.

Soon the pickled cabbage and pickled radish slices were ready.

This can be eaten immediately, but the taste is not that good and it needs to be left for a few days to become more flavorful.

Everyone used chopsticks to taste the fruits of their morning labor.

"Yeah, it's delicious."

"This pickled radish tastes so good. It removes the astringency of the radish very well, leaving only the unique sweetness. It tastes even better with seasoning." Xiao Fengying gave a fair evaluation.

"Sister, you have such skillful hands. Everything you make tastes delicious. How can I live without you?" Such wonderful flattery, of course, came from Ming Ruxue.

Dabao, Beibei and Youran were staring at the radishes and kimchi in the pot.

For lunch at noon, Gu Qinghuan simply had a pickled vegetable meeting.

I cooked a big pot of rice, paired it with the pickled vegetables I had just pickled today, and took out the chili sauce I had fried earlier. It went really well with the rice, tasted better than meat, and was refreshing and not greasy.

After dinner, Gu Lanting and Fang Zhengping stopped playing chess in the afternoon and came over to help.

Gu Qinghuan prepared several medium-sized jars for pickling sauerkraut and spicy cabbage.

There are also several small transparent jars for pickling dried radishes, but the radishes have not been dried yet.

Pickling sauerkraut is a physical job, but fortunately there were two men to help and it was done quickly.

The radish needs to be cut into strips and dried until it is semi-dry before it can be made into dried radish.

Cutting so many radishes into strips and drying them in the sun is a troublesome task. Fortunately, there were many people around and we finished it quickly by taking turns to do it.

When they left in the evening, Gu Qinghuan gave Xiao Fengying and Ou Sumei two jars of pickled vegetables each.

A jar of pickled radish slices and a jar of spicy cabbage can be eaten quickly. As for pickled radish, sauerkraut and dried radish, they will take some time to prepare.

The two of them did not dislike the fruits of their labor and liked them no matter how they looked at them.

Xiao Fengying waited until Xiao Zhuo came to pick her up before she asked Xiao Zhuo to help her carry the pickled vegetables back home.

Ou Sumei also asked Fang Zhengping to help her carry a jar, and she carried a jar herself, and went home happily.

Every day is so fulfilling.

It's true, this kind of socializing is more to her liking than her previous socializing with other ladies. It's really natural. Although she is a little tired, she is very happy. She sleeps better after working, and even her recent insomnia has been cured.

The same goes for Fang Zhengping. The advantage of regular activities is that he will no longer have to stay up all night and make others tired.

While cooking, Gu Qinghuan was thinking about Xujiatun. She wondered if anyone had helped to harvest the vegetables at home, to make sure they were not destroyed by people or animals. Xu Huaian had worked very hard to grow them.

Xu Lei's wife is called Xia Lian. She pushed her bicycle and personally delivered nearly 100 kilograms of pastries.

In fact, she was quite nervous before coming, because after all, the other person had done Xu Lei a favor, and it was such a great favor.

So she felt that it was her duty to make some cakes to thank people, and she shouldn't charge them for it.

But making these pastries took a lot of her good stuff and grains, so it wasn’t just a little bit after all.

So she was conflicted, not knowing whether to accept it or not, even though Xu Lei said that the other party would definitely not be short of her money.

Only after arriving at the place and meeting Gu Qinghuan in person did Xia Lian understand what Xu Lei meant.

This girl is really beautiful and kind-hearted, and her words and actions are like a spring breeze.

She thought to herself that it would be better not to accept the money. The previous deposit was enough for her to recover some of the costs. After making up her mind, her steps became much lighter.

Gu Qinghuan invited her in to sit for a while, and made her some homemade honey grapefruit tea to warm her body, and also gave her a small hand warmer to hold in her hands.

"Aunt, it's so cold, you must be tired from pushing the car all the way here, take a rest."

Listening to these words, it made people feel that the tiredness was worth it. Xia Lian showed a gentle smile, took a sip of the warm water, and felt warm in her heart.
