Gu Qinghuan fed Xu Huaian with one hand and ate a piece of cake with the other.

Not to mention, with the addition of spiritual spring water, the pancakes are all very fragrant. She usually eats one pancake at most, but today she ate two.

Not to mention Xu Huaian, she originally took eight pieces, and people still felt a little unsatisfied after finishing them.

Gu Qinghuan brought in a few leftover cakes from the children outside and fed them.

His stomach was like a bottomless pit, and he wouldn't feel satisfied until he had finished all the bread. Well, he wouldn't have to pick up leftovers for lunch.

After feeding him the biscuits, Gu Qinghuan asked him to raise his head and poured the spiritual spring water directly into his mouth, which he drank in a few gulps.

The water tasted sweet and Xu Huaian didn't doubt anything.

Although it is a good medicine for him, it is not a product of this era after all. It is better not to let him know about it. It is better to have less trouble than more.

Just as she was about to go out, Xu Huaian suddenly called her.

"Comrade Gu, please wait a moment."

"Anything else?"

"When I retired from the army, my superiors helped me get disability benefits. I can receive 15 yuan a month in pension. I haven't collected it in the past two years. I'd like to trouble you to go to the county government when you have time and help me collect it.

I am not in my right mind, please keep this money and use it for household expenses."

Xu Huaian used to be a filial person. He sent most of his monthly allowance back home. After he was discharged from the army, Liu Guifang cheated him out of his savings of more than 1,000 yuan using various excuses.

During the first six months after his return, when he was still able to move freely, he thought he could live on his own and did not want to trouble the organization, so he never went to collect the money.

Later, when he lost his freedom and was abandoned by his family, he understood even more clearly that he must not let Liu Guifang know about the money. Human greed is endless, and she would never spend a penny of the money on him and their two children.

The two children are still young, and it is impossible for me to go to the county to help pick them up, so the matter has been put on hold.

Fortunately, his old leader insisted on helping him to obtain the pension, which now solves his urgent problem.

Comrade Gu married him in order to earn money for her mother's medical treatment. He was already taking advantage of her, and he couldn't expect her to spend money and effort to support him and his two children.

With this money as a foundation, they can receive 15 yuan every month in the future. At least they don't have to worry about their livelihood. Gu Qinghuan is a good person, and he will surely treat the two children well for the sake of the money.

Gu Qinghuan didn't expect such a good thing to happen. She was worrying about how to explain the sudden appearance of something in the house and the overly exquisite food, and just when she was dozing off, the pillow appeared.

The two-year pension is three hundred and sixty, which is enough for her to spend for a while.

It seems that this money was kept secret from Liu Guifang and Xu Mingshan, so he still has some brains.

"Also, I know that you have been wronged by taking care of the three of us. When I get better, I will set you free and dissolve our marriage.

If anything happens to me, please take good care of the two children."

Listening to his heavy tone as if he was explaining his last affairs, Gu Qinghuan inexplicably felt a little uncomfortable. In the book, he was indeed dead, and Liu Guifang had someone carry him to the mountains and dump him there, leaving his body exposed in the wilderness.

"Pooh, pooh, pooh, you crow's mouth. It will definitely get better. You said it yourself. We will get divorced after you recover. You are so thin. You look like a skeleton. It's so ugly.

To be honest, I don't want to remarry with the reputation of a widow. It's so ugly. You must get better. "

Gu Qinghuan's words successfully distracted Xu Huaian from his sad mood.

Staring at her thighs again and again.

Is it ugly? He remembered that there were many girls in the art troupe who liked him before, so why is it different when it comes to Gu Qinghuan?

It was also because he hadn't looked in the mirror for a long time and couldn't see what he looked like, otherwise he would have been scared.

With long hair, thick beard and skinny body, it is no exaggeration to say that he is ugly.

When Gu Qinghuan came out, she found that Dabao had already washed all the dishes, leaving only the ones on her hands unwashed.

Beibei was sweeping the weeds in the yard with a broken broom that he had found from somewhere.

By the time she was cooking in the morning, the two children had already pulled out the weeds in the yard.

These two kids are very busy and a breeze to deal with.

"Dabao, stop working and take your sister to talk to dad. It's rare for him to be awake for a while."

"Dad is awake?" Dabao stood up, wiped his hands, and asked happily.

"Well, remember to talk to him about happy things. It will help his condition."

"okay, I get it."

"Dad, are you awake?" Dabao walked to the kang with red eyes.

"Dabao, you've worked hard taking care of Dad during this period. You must listen to Mom and take good care of your sister and yourself in the future. Got it?"

Xu Huaian originally wanted to say Aunt Gu, but temporarily changed it to Mom. Women are emotional, and he hoped that by calling her Mom, Gu Qinghuan would have more sympathy and be nicer to the two children.

"Dad, I get it. Mom is very good to me and my sister, so you can rest assured." When Gu Qinghuan was not around, Dabao said the word "mom" easily.

In fact, he had already accepted Gu Qinghuan in his heart, but he still couldn't say it in front of her.

Beibei climbed onto the kang and sat next to Xu Huaian, chattering to him, "Dad, I like this new mother. She is so gentle and can cook a lot of delicious food. No one has ever been so nice to us. I really hope she is my real mother."

Xu Huaian's eyes were dim and he felt helpless.

...

Gu Qinghuan washed the remaining pots and bowls, walked around the house, planning what else to buy, and ended up discovering a cellar.

It can be used to store vegetables in winter, which is great.

The most scarce things at home now are firewood for the winter and cotton-padded clothes and quilts.

As for food, there is enough food in the villa to last for a while, and we can buy more after we finish it, so there is no need to rush.

Speaking of clothes, she remembered that the new clothes and shoes she bought for the two children yesterday had not yet been put on. She had just moved in last night and was busy and tired, so she didn't have time to give them the new clothes and shoes.

Give them a good bath tonight and then dress them in new clothes and shoes.

There is less work to do in the fields in October, as many people are preparing for the winter, collecting firewood, and picking up various mountain products to dry.

Gu Qinghuan is not short of food now. As for earning work points, she plans to work three days and rest two days, and do some work occasionally to earn some food.

If she wasn't afraid of being accused of being a capitalist hedonist, she wouldn't have wanted to go.

There is no need to go to the hospital today. Everything has been arranged with grandpa, so let’s prepare the firewood at home first.

She did what she said and went straight to the vending machine to buy an axe, preparing to go up the mountain to chop wood.

Speaking of this axe, it is a coincidence that someone is selling a second-hand axe, saying that it is his grandfather's grandfather's axe and has been passed down for several generations.

The new axe was too eye-catching, so Gu Qinghuan wanted an old axe with a patina on the handle.

The other party even helped her sharpen the axe, so that she could hit the target with every strike.

"Dabao, Beibei, take care of the house. I'm going to go out and get some firewood. I'll be back to cook at noon." Gu Qinghuan picked up the axe and prepared to go out.

"Mom, I want to help too." Beibei said quickly.

"I'm going too." Dabao followed.

"Have you forgotten the task I assigned you? The most important thing is to spend more time with your dad. You are too young to help with chopping wood. If there are other tasks, I will let you do them. Be good."

The main thing is that if you two go there, I will be delayed from using the space to cheat.

Gu Qinghuan knew that the two children were still in a state of unreality and were desperately trying to do more work to prove their worth.

They were worried about gains and losses, afraid that Gu Qinghuan didn't like them and would abandon them.

She had also experienced the feeling of living under someone else's roof. A happy childhood heals a lifetime, but her childhood would take a lifetime to heal.

Before she reached adulthood, she was a typical people-pleaser.

Afraid of making others unhappy, unconsciously trying to please others, afraid of causing trouble to others. Care about other people's eyes, dare not refuse others, dare not put forward your own requests and ideas, and dare not owe favors to others.

It took her many years to get rid of the negative influence of her original family and become more confident.

The current situation of the two children is only worse than when she was a child. No wonder they become perverse and cruel when they grow up.

Thinking of this, she squatted down and comforted him: “I promised your father that I would always take care of you and would not leave.

And he gave me a lot of money, enough for you to spend for a long time, so don't feel burdened."

Gu Qinghuan recalled that when she was a child, at her grandparents’ house, the parents of her other cousins ​​would send her living expenses on time every month, but her own parents were lucky enough to give her money once a year.

Although her grandparents did not treat her differently, the invisible knife was the most hurtful, and she felt just as sad as ever.

So she specifically emphasized that Xu Huaian had given money.

In this way, they may feel better and no longer feel that they are eating for free and always want to work to make up for it.

Sure enough, the two children were obviously relieved and did not insist on going to the mountain.

"Then mom, you have to come back early." Beibei waved her hand obediently.
