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

The next morning, Xia Lian brought over the list of ingredients she had prepared, and also brought over her homemade 28 sesame paste for everyone to try.

Gu Qinghuan happily accepted her sauce and told her to go back and wait. She would ask Lan Ting to deliver the food to her in the afternoon at the latest.

After Xia Lian left, Gu Qinghuan went out for a while and quickly came back with the food and materials needed on the list. Of course, he placed the order on the vending machine.

It was a bit heavy, about two or three hundred pounds, so she simply called two rickshaws and asked Lan Ting to accompany her to deliver it.

As soon as Lanting left, Xiao Zhuo stepped on the accelerator and stopped at the door of the small western-style building.

"Brother Xiao, are you going to work? Have you eaten? My family made fried dough sticks this morning." Gu Qinghuan was already very familiar with him, so she spoke to him in a more warm tone.

"Well, I won't eat anymore. I came to tell you that there is news about the piano you asked me to find out last time.

It was just a coincidence that the director of the Revolutionary Committee who had just been removed was found to have accepted bribes, and his family property was confiscated and is now being sold.

There is a Yamaha piano imported by Xiao Rizu, which he just bought for his daughter at the beginning of this year. It is still brand new.

Because the piano has a very small audience, no one is buying it at the moment, and the price is quite low, around three thousand yuan. It is said that he bought it for seven or eight thousand yuan.

If you are sure you want it, I will go find someone to help negotiate and see if I can give you a cheaper price."

Gu Qinghuan was surprised. She had mentioned before that she wanted to buy a cheap piano to put at home to entertain Zhong Luoning, and asked him if he had any connections. She didn't expect him to be so interested.

"That's great! It's what I want. If the price can be cheaper, that would be even better. Thank you for your help, Brother Xiao."

"Okay, I'll go ask first and come back to give you an answer in the afternoon." After Xiao Zhuo finished speaking, he looked up at the window on the second floor of the small western-style building, but saw nothing. Then he stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

Zhong Luoning is a piano teacher. She has been learning piano since she was a child. When she got married, her family gave her a Yamaha piano as a dowry. Later, it was sold at a low price by the Xu family, who accused her of being capitalist.

She hasn't touched the piano for a long time.

-

Xiao Zhuo arrived at the office and made a phone call.

"Leizi, are you sure the piano is exactly the same?"

"Brother Zhuo, you know, we also have a system. If we sell at a low price and get caught, it will implicate everyone. I'm sorry!"

Xiao Zhuo hesitated for a few seconds and then said, "How about this, I'll take the buyer to pick up the goods this afternoon, but I'll pay half of the money and give it to you privately.

When she comes over this afternoon, don’t tell her the real price. Just say that no one wants the piano, so I sold it for fifteen hundred yuan. Don’t let it slip.”

A teasing voice came from the other side immediately: "Brother, are you a hero who can't resist the temptation of beauty? What kind of beauty is worthy of your attention? I'll give it to you for fifteen hundred yuan!

But brother, you are not short of money, it’s okay, haha.”

Xiao Zhuo hung up the phone angrily.

-

As for Gu Qinghuan, as soon as Xiao Zhuo left, a military vehicle stopped in front of the door of the small western-style building.

She thought it was Xu Huaian who came back, so she went over happily. She hadn't seen him for a few days and missed him very much.

Unexpectedly, the person coming down from above was not Xu Huaian, but a middle-aged couple.

Gu Qinghuan was confused.

Suddenly, the charming woman saw her, her eyes lit up, and she came over and held her hand: "Oh, you are Qing Huan, right? This girl has changed a lot since she grew up. She is getting more and more beautiful."

“Um, may I ask who you are…?” Gu Qinghuan didn’t remember any relatives in her family who had military connections, except for her eldest uncle, who was still in the northwest.

"I'm Ruxue's mother! I'm so sorry to bother you. We just wrote to Ruxue a few days ago. She said that you have been taking care of her during this period. I'm so sorry." The woman was Ming Ruxue's biological mother, Nan Sheng.

The man took the gifts from the young soldier who was driving the car and said, "Please wait for us in the car."

The young soldier saluted and sat in the driver's seat consciously.

Looking at this posture, are they leaving again soon? Gu Qinghuan quickly invited them into the house to talk.

Ming Ruxue was feeding rabbits with the three little ones in the yard.

"Ruxue, look who's here!"

Ming Ruxue looked back and found that it was her irresponsible parents. She turned her head away immediately with tears in her eyes.

Although she is resilient and can survive on her own, she has not seen her parents since she got off the plane from the United States to China.

A young girl who hasn't been back to her country for many years and is unfamiliar with the place will actually feel strange, scared and confused in her heart.

At this moment, all the emotions she usually suppressed burst out, and she couldn't help feeling aggrieved.

"Baby, come here, let mommy hug you." Nan Sheng rushed over and gave her daughter a bear hug without saying a word.

Although Ming Ruxue felt aggrieved, she still hugged her mother back awkwardly, and then burst into tears the next second.

The surging kind.

This made Nan Sheng cry.

Many things are dilemmas. It’s not that they don’t love their children, but that the responsibility on their shoulders is too heavy.

If they do not take up this responsibility, there will be thousands and thousands of children like Ming Ruxue in the future, who will have no place to live and no food to eat.

From the perspective of the country, they are righteous and awe-inspiring. They are scientists who have made great contributions. They are the main persons in charge of the research and development of state secret projects. They have made great contributions to China and are the most admirable scientists.

But they are the most failed and incompetent parents, who have not fulfilled any of their parental responsibilities to their children.

When Ruxue was a child, she often went to different houses to eat. After she arrived in the United States, she had to take care of herself and often did not see her parents for ten days or half a month. This is even more the case after she returned to China.

If Gu Qinghuan hadn't taken her in, she would still be living in the Overseas Chinese Hotel.

In Ming Ruxue's memory, she has always been drifting like a wandering duckweed.

Mingcheng stepped forward helplessly to comfort the mother and daughter.

Gu Qinghuan took the three little ones away, leaving space for the family of three to reunite.

"Ruxue, you've gained weight!" Ming Cheng is really unique. If he were in later generations, he would definitely be called a terminally ill straight male.

Ming Ruxue was originally feeling sad, but she was so angry at her father's words that she forgot to cry.

"Dad, Sister Huanhuan said that I'm still a child and growing up! Chubby ones are cute."

"Okay, just pretend I didn't say anything!" Ming Cheng spread his hands helplessly.

He actually didn't think there was anything wrong with being fat, he just felt strange. His daughter was very picky about food and had been as thin as a stick for so many years, so how could she suddenly gain weight?

"Our Ruxue will look good if she gains some weight." Nan Sheng pinched her chubby little face.

“In fact, the food made by Sister Huanhuan was so delicious that I couldn’t help but eat more. Now Lanting and I go to the same school, and I eat at Sister Huanhuan’s house every day.

Sister Huanhuan let me live in her house and refused to charge me. She also bought me new clothes and shoes for the New Year and treated me very well. Ming Ruxue wanted her parents to know how much Gu Qinghuan cared for her.

"We understand. We came here today specifically to thank her."

In fact, Mingcheng and Nansheng had already known about it through intelligence, and they took time out today to come here specifically to thank Gu Qinghuan and to meet Ming Ruxue before the New Year.

Although they are carefree, they are still concerned about their daughter's safety, and someone will tell them about her recent situation over time.

Especially since she just moved into someone else's house, they were worried at first, but they felt relieved when they knew it was the little girl from the Gu family.

When they were still in China, the two families were neighbors. When they were busy, the children would basically stay at Gu's house, eating and drinking for free. Many of the beautiful clothes and skirts that Ming Ruxue wore when she was a child were all Gu Qinghuan's.

Zhong Zijun was a gentle woman who loved Ruxue very much and treated her like her own daughter. She braided her hair, taught her to go to the toilet by herself, and sent her to kindergarten.

It can be said that Zhong Zijun played a big role in ensuring that Ming Ruxue did not become unhappy in her childhood due to the absence of her parents.

Ming Ruxue is grown up now and may not remember many things from that time, but as adults they cannot forget, and this kindness must be repaid.

As soon as they returned to China, they plunged into intensive research without stopping, and did not even have time to settle their daughter.

I just learned about what happened to the Zhong family.

While Nan Sheng was scolding Gu Yunchuan, she was secretly trying to find out the news.

The answer is, wait!

In fact, the Zhong family did nothing wrong. The mistake was that the Zhong family was a scholarly family, full of high-level intellectuals.

That year, there was a call to "thoroughly expose the bourgeois reactionary stance of those so-called academic authorities who are anti-Party and anti-socialist, and thoroughly criticize the bourgeois reactionary ideas in the academic, educational, journalistic, literary and art, and publishing circles."

"To defeat the so-called bourgeois experts, scholars, authorities and masters and to destroy their prestige and prestige."

Intellectuals became the first targets of the struggle. They did nothing wrong, but were blamed for some of their remarks.

During this period, the persecution of intellectuals reached an appalling level.

That year, among the more than 170 senior and deputy senior intellectuals in the Beijing area of ​​the Chinese Academy of Sciences, 131 were listed as targets for overthrow or investigation. Originally, the Zhong family was not among them. For his own selfish interests, Gu Yunchuan reported the Zhong family for no reason and dragged them into the water as well.

The situation was extremely tragic. More than a thousand households had their homes ransacked and more than two hundred people were persecuted to death.

The humiliation of intellectuals has also reached its peak. Knowledge has almost become a sin, and intellectuals are almost criminals. They have been relegated to the bottom of society.

If the Ming family had not moved away, their fate would probably have been the same as the Zhong family.

After so many years of changes, many people have truly realized the importance of intellectuals to national development, and are even willing to invite them back from the United States to help. It can be seen that the day when the fog will be cleared is not far away.
