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

Lin Shengnan may have felt that such a request was a bit presumptuous, so she added, "I'll help carry the firewood on your shoulders to your house later, okay?"

Gu Qinghuan felt that the bundle of firewood was too heavy, but he was afraid of meeting people on the road, so he had no choice but to carry it.

"Okay then." Gu Qinghuan didn't hesitate to throw the firewood on his shoulder to the ground and handed over the axe.

"Then I'll leave my firewood to you. If there's one less, I'll ask you for it." Gu Qinghuan had no reason to disagree as it was a matter of mutual benefit.

He glanced at the educated youth.

Chen Jianghe and Jiang Xue sat on the ground as if they were on an autumn outing, chatting and laughing. Qiu Shuxia pretended to look around, and a male educated youth named Wang Chen was picking up tree branches.

It is really difficult for Lin Shengnan to deal with such a group of people. Who can lead such a bunch of useless teammates?

Fortunately, she decisively chose to start her own business. Although she has a family to support, she is free.

Lin Shengnan took the axe and said gratefully, "Thank you. I will definitely bring it back to you intact."

Gu Qinghuan dusted off his hands and walked down the mountain with ease.

With the axe, Lin Shengnan climbed up the tree as if with divine help, and cut down some dead branches high up. In the end, she managed to bring back a few bundles of firewood.

Gu Qinghuan took the dead rabbit out of the space and hid it in her arms when she arrived at the door of her house, along with a few bundles of firewood she had made in the afternoon.

The two little ones heard the sound, opened the door and came out to help. When they saw the rabbit in her hand, they were surprised and happy. The last time they ate rabbit meat was when their father was not sick.

"We are lucky today. We got a rabbit for free. Dabao, take the rabbit inside and hide it. Hurry up and boil some water. We will eat rabbit meat tonight." Gu Qinghuan was in a good mood. He talked to the two children while moving firewood.

Dabao knew that the things on the mountain belonged to the public, and this behavior would easily be criticized, so he looked around and found that no one was passing by, so he quickly picked up the rabbit and ran into the house.

Gu Qinghuan carried all the firewood into the firewood pile in the backyard. Looking at the dozen or so full bundles of firewood, he felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

The water in Dabao's pot is about to boil.

Gu Qinghuan called the two children over and took out a pair of scissors from his arms, which scared the two children.

"Mom, you..."

Dabao quickly protected Beibei behind him.

Is the truth finally revealed?

Seeing this, Gu Qinghuan used her scissors to make a few clicks with evil humor: "Dabao, why don't you come over and sit down? It's just a haircut, is it that serious?"

Beibei patted her little heart exaggeratedly, which scared her to death. She thought her mother was going to become a bad mother.

Dabao also breathed a sigh of relief and sat obediently on the steps at the door, letting Gu Qinghuan tinker with it.

Actually, Gu Qinghuan is not very good at cutting hair, but now that Tony is not around, she has to do it herself. As long as a child's hair is easy to manage, it's fine.

Dabao’s hair is already very long, and some places have been burned by fire, probably because no one paid attention when the fire was being lit.

First, cut off the long parts with a drastic cut, and then trim the details, and a simple little boy's hairstyle will appear.

Gu Qinghuan looked at it carefully and felt very satisfied.

Beibei also quickly praised him: "Mom is so awesome, she gave my brother a really nice haircut, I want one too."

"Okay, okay, wait a moment."

Gu Qinghuan took an old wooden basin from the yard, filled it with warm water and brought it to the toilet, then took out a bar of soap from the villa.

"Go wash yourself first. Wash your whole body. This is soap. I'll wash Beibei after you're done. Be careful not to fall into the toilet."

Dabao stared at her in surprise. He thought she was boiling water to remove the rabbits' hair, but it turned out to be for giving them a bath.

He likes this new hairstyle though.

"Well, I will use it carefully and will definitely not drop it into the toilet." Dabao carefully held the soap given by Gu Qinghuan.

"Idiot, I'm telling you not to fall into the toilet!" Gu Qinghuan poked his forehead unhappily.

What is this child thinking about?

Dabao went in to take a shower, and Gu Qinghuan pulled Beibei over to cut her hair.

Beibei's hair was longer than his brother's. It was probably never cut, so some of it was tangled. After combing it for several minutes, it was impossible to untangle it. After asking the child for her opinion, Gu Qinghuan simply cut her hair with a pair of scissors.

Finally, she cut a mushroom head that was popular in later generations and was very suitable for the little girl.

Beibei looked around in the water with satisfaction.

"Mom, you are so amazing. I love you so much."

Gu Qinghuan rubbed her little mushroom head. When she put away the hair clipper, she suddenly saw the new clothes placed on the bedside. She remembered that she forgot to get new clothes for Dabao. She told him not to wear old clothes again, otherwise she would have taken a bath in vain.

She quickly took the new clothes to the toilet door: "Dabao, are you done washing?"

"It'll be ready soon."

"Then open the door first and I'll give you the clothes."

Dabao opened the door a little puzzled. He remembered that he didn't have any clean clothes when he left Lao Xu's house.

Dad bought them new clothes before, but grandma snatched them away, so they only have the tattered clothes they have to wear.

Gu Qinghuan handed him new clothes and shoes.

"I bought it for you at the county yesterday. Try it on. It should fit."

Dabao didn't know how he took the new clothes. When he came to his senses, tears had blurred his vision.

He hasn't cried for a long time. Ever since his father's movements were restricted and he and his sister suffered a lot of grievances, he forced himself to be strong. Tears can't solve any problems, but will make people look down on him.

But at this moment, when he saw the new clothes, he really couldn't hold it back, like a taut string suddenly loosened.

He let himself cry.

Beibei heard her brother crying inside and wanted to rush in to find him, but was stopped by Gu Qinghuan.

"Shh, be good, brother needs some time, let's let him vent and wait for him, okay?"

Beibei nestled in Gu Qinghuan's arms, crying silently.

After a while, the crying gradually stopped, and after a rustling sound, the door opened.

A fair-skinned and bright-looking boy came out.

Because he is very thin, his clothes are slightly loose, but still fit him well. His eyes are puffy, but it can't hide the heroic spirit between his brows, and there is a kind of temperament that is hard to ignore.

This child doesn't look like Xu Huaian at all, but he looks like a child of good family. I don't know who he looks like.

Seeing that Gu Qinghuan and Beibei were looking at him, Dabao pulled his sleeves embarrassedly.

She bit her lip and said shyly, "Thank you, mom, for buying me new clothes. I like them very much."

"What's the matter? Just like it."

She was very happy when she heard Dabao calling her mom, because it meant that the child accepted her from the bottom of his heart.

But this doesn’t actually mean anything, so don’t take it seriously. The title is not important to her.

No matter whether Dabao calls her mom or auntie, she will continue to take care of him as always, doing whatever she wants out of respect for life.

I don't have any hope for them, as long as they can grow up healthily.

In fact, there is no deep emotional support between them. The two children are now isolated and helpless, and because of her care, they have developed a little dependence and trust in her, that's all.

After two years when the social environment stabilizes and Xu Huaian gets better, they will definitely separate. In these two years, we should help them as much as possible and teach them as many skills as possible to live independently.
