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

Gu Qinghuan and his group arrived at the station in the afternoon. After a bumpy ride all the way, they finally got back to the commune. Because there were so many people, nothing happened along the way, but it was tiring to go around so much.

Fortunately, the children were very well behaved. They didn't make any noise and followed their parents closely.

The adults who were traveling with us had never been to such a remote rural area, especially Ming Ruxue, who was so busy looking around that she couldn't even take in the sight.

The New Year was approaching, and the commune was full of people, as well as ox-carts and donkey-carts coming from various villages to do business. Gu Qinghuan found an uncle who was driving an ox-cart near Xujiatun, asked him to help take them over, and secretly slipped him fifty cents.

For the sake of the money, the uncle let them get on the bus with a smile, shouting that he was serving the people.

Lan Ting was embarrassed to get on the cart, so he walked behind the ox cart. There were already things on the cart, and with the addition of several people and their luggage, the weight would probably be too much for the old ox to bear.

Gu Qinghuan also followed him. After all, boys have to be able to withstand hardships, and flowers in a greenhouse cannot.

Lanting was walking in this strange countryside, and suddenly he felt homesick. He hadn't seen his mother and grandparents for several years, and he didn't know what they looked like now. They must only report good news and not bad news!

It was even colder in the countryside. Sitting on the ox cart, the cold wind was biting. Gu Qinghuan took out the big cotton jackets from the luggage and wrapped them up for the children to prevent them from catching cold.

She had foresight and had already put on her thickest cotton jacket, with autumn clothes and warm pants underneath, so she was not too cold.

Zhong Luoning and Ming Ruxue were also wearing thick cotton coats, wrapped up like bears.

It was not comfortable to sit in the ox cart. The road was bumpy and my butt was almost hurt.

Fortunately, there was luggage to sit on.

You Ran looked around with a pair of smart eyes, as if asking, where is this?

Dabao is a very responsible brother and is responsible for explaining everything in the village to Youran.

When they arrived at Xujiatun, it was already getting dark. It was a cold day, the wind was howling, and there was no one outside. The uncle was kind-hearted and for the sake of the fifty cents, he walked them all the way to their doorstep before leaving.

Gu Qinghuan opened the gate of the courtyard, and the group of people, who were already cold and hungry, rushed into the courtyard impatiently.

The courtyard was cleaner than she had imagined. There was not a speck of dust in the corridor. Someone must have come to clean it. Without thinking too much, it must have been Zhong Zijun. Gu Qinghuan felt warm in her heart. So this is what it felt like to have her mother taking care of her.

It was a little late, and there was no time to inform Zhong Zijun. Gu Qinghuan arranged for everyone to get busy. First, they had to light the kang and then cook. The children were so hungry that they had no strength left.

She was originally worried about the firewood problem. After all, they had missed the fun during their absence.

Unexpectedly, the firewood shed at the back was full of firewood, and there was a pile of neatly stacked mustard seeds, which should be enough for this winter.

She guessed that this was most likely done by Brother Ji. With Zhong Zijun's ability, it was good enough that she had enough firewood for herself, and she probably didn't have the energy to get so many firewood for her.

I have to say, she told the truth.

Ji Linhai noticed a noise in the house and came over to check. He found that it was Gu Qinghuan who had returned. He didn't even have time to come in and say hello, so he took a shortcut to the next village to inform Zhong Zijun.

Ming Ruxue volunteered to carry firewood to the kitchen and start making a fire. She was very excited. Gu Qinghuan was worried that she would set the kitchen on fire, but she said that she had learned how to make a fire when she went on a picnic before, so there would be no problem.

So the task of preparing dinner was temporarily handed over to Zhong Luoning and Ming Ruxue.

Gu Qinghuan took Lan Ting down to the cellar, preparing to bring up some food to cook.

She had already prepared a bunch of food in the space, and was going to go down first and take it out when the opportunity arose.

Unexpectedly, the cellar was full of vegetables. I guess they were the vegetables harvested from their backyard and placed here.

It feels good to have someone thinking of you.

It was a very heartwarming feeling for a moment.

Gu Qinghuan took the opportunity to take out the things he had prepared, then selected a few vegetables, handed them to Gu Lanting at the entrance of the cellar, and asked him to take them to the kitchen.

To cook for Ming Ruxue and the others.

The children settled the little rabbit and had fun in the yard, making snowmen.

Gu Qinghuan began to clean up the room.

Zhong Zijun only had the key to the front door but not the key to her room, so she didn't clean the room and it was covered in dust.

Fortunately, this was the case, otherwise the secret would have been exposed. Gu Qinghuan had already emptied the room, and all the things were in the space.

She quickly took it out from the space, wiped the kang clean, and covered it with blankets and quilts.

Considering that there were so many people, she prepared an extra quilt.

There were only two kangs in the house, so we had to make do with them and everyone slept on top of each other.

This is also a normal situation in Northeast China. In winter, people don't want to burn many kangs, so the whole family just squeezes together. It is warm and saves firewood. Moreover, the kang is large and can accommodate everyone.

Seeing her busy, Dabao took the initiative to find a small broom to sweep the floor, which was his job before.

Gu Qinghuan just followed him.

Cleaning up.

There was a knock on the door.

Gu Qinghuan was still thinking, it’s so late, who is coming?

I didn't expect that when I opened the door, I would see Zhong Zijun.

Zhong Zijun was having dinner when Ji Linhai came running over to say that Gu Qinghuan was back. She didn't even finish her meal and followed him immediately.

I also brought a pot of steamed buns made from mixed flour from home in the evening, and some homemade mushroom sauce.

Zhong Weiqian and Cheng Shuying also wanted to come over to take a look, but considering that the road was difficult to walk on due to the snow, and that it was late at night, Zhong Zijun was also worried that they might fall while walking, so she didn't let them come.

When the mother and daughter met each other, they hugged each other tightly as if they had been reunited after a long separation.

"Mom, how did you know I was back? I said I would pack up and settle down first, and then come to see you later, but I didn't expect you to come here first!"

"How could Mom stay still when she knew you were back? I have to thank your Uncle Ji for running over to inform me." Zhong Zijun looked back, but there was no trace of Ji Linhai.

"Hey, he was here just now!"

Gu Qinghuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How could they have got the generations wrong? They had always called Ji Linhai "brother" and Ji Lao "uncle".

Now the eldest brother has become an uncle and the old uncle has become a grandfather. There is nothing he can do about it since Zhong Zijun is almost the same age as him.

"Uncle Ji should have gone back first, right? It's getting late today. I'll go and thank him tomorrow. Mom, you come in first. It's cold outside." Gu Qinghuan pulled her in and closed the door.

"Well, we should thank him! Do you remember what I wrote to you last time?

During this period of time, the whole family has relied on your uncle Ji's help, who has been solving problems and helping with work. That Wang Quezi is now unable to take care of himself, so I have had a peaceful life for some time.

Your uncle Ji also gave us a lot of game. I’ve packed it all up and will bring it over tomorrow so you can cook it for the children.

By the way, where are Huai'an and the children?"

As soon as she finished her words, two figures rushed towards her and threw themselves into her arms.

It’s Dabao and Beibei.

Zhong Zijun quickly handed the bag in her hand to her daughter and took the two little ones.

"grandmother!"

"Grandma, I miss you so much!" Beibei said sweetly.

"Grandma, I brought you some roast duck from Beijing. I bought it with my own savings!" Dabao looked up proudly, waiting for compliments.

"Grandma, I also brought you something delicious. Look, it's chocolate!" Beibei quickly took out the gift from his pocket.

It is said that this little guy took out the chocolate in his pocket from time to time and looked at it along the way, smiling sweetly. She thought he was reluctant to eat it, but it turned out to be a gift for Zhong Zijun.

Dabao was the same. Before leaving, he mysteriously insisted that Lanting take him out. After coming back, he was carrying a small backpack with him. He carried it himself all the way without asking anyone else to do it. It turned out that he was buying a gift for Zhong Zijun.

Gu Qinghuan couldn't help but feel warm in her heart. The two little guys were really heartwarming. She had been hot-headed and impulsive at the time and had become their stepmother, taking good care of them without expecting anything in return from them.

Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but sigh that I did the right thing. Both children are good. I exchanged my sincerity for sincerity.

Zhong Zijun didn't expect that even after spending more than a month together, the two little guys still remembered to bring her gifts. She felt indescribable and a warm current flowed through her heart.

Human nature is unpredictable. She was glad that her daughter did not end up like her, meeting an insatiable person. As the ancients said, a child's character can be seen at the age of three. Both of these children are good, and they will be fine if they are raised well in the future.

She took Beibei's gift with a smile, hugged the two children and looked at them carefully.

"Grandma likes you very much. Thank you. You are all good children. Look at you all growing taller and fatter."

With adequate nutrition in the past few months, Dabao and Beibei have grown very fast.

Gu Qinghuan was just about to say that Gu Lanting and Zhong Luoning had also come this time when Lanting came out of the room.

"Sister, who is that?" I heard the voice before I saw the person.

Zhong Zijun was stunned for a moment, nervous and at a loss, her eyes kept looking at the door. If she heard correctly, the person who just spoke was Lan Ting?

Although the voice has changed, the baby voice has become more charming.

But she had a strong feeling, that was Lanting, her son whom she had not seen for more than five years!
