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

Xu Huaian helped Gu Qinghuan, and the couple quickly prepared a table full of delicious food.

As the time of departure draws closer, he wishes he could stick with his wife all the time and could never see her enough.

Naturally, it is inevitable to steal a kiss from time to time, hold hands, etc.

When young lovers are in love, even a glance at each other can make one's heart beat fast and one's heart flutter.

Zhong Zijun naturally noticed the subtle changes between the two of them, was happy to see it, and felt happy for them.

In the past, Gu Qinghuan obviously didn't care about Xu Huaian, it was just that Xu Huaian, the big fool, had a one-sided love for her. Now, the couple can develop feelings for each other and get along well, which is the best thing.

After all, the future is uncertain. Her life has been ruined, and she doesn't want her daughter to end up with regrets like her.

She had already had a long talk with her daughter about Xu Huaian going out to work.

After knowing Gu Qinghuan's thoughts, she was completely relieved.

When two people live together, they cannot be too idealistic, nor can they only want to reap the rewards without being willing to give.

It was a very correct decision for Gu Qinghuan to take the initiative to help Xu Huaian support his family and let him go out and make his own way.

However, during this period she will inevitably have to bear more, whether it is housework or external pressure.

On the one hand, Zhong Zijun felt sorry for her daughter, but on the other hand, she hoped that the young couple could break free of the shackles of their identities and make a name for themselves.

Deep down, she didn't want her daughter to stay in this small mountain village for the rest of her life.

She can do it, but Gu Qinghuan can't.

In fact, putting aside the factors on her daughter's side, she herself also supports Xu Huaian going out to work. After all, a man is the backbone of a family and determines the quality of life and future of the family.

Deep down, she also looks down on men who are only nagging, acting like the boss at home but being nothing outside.

What’s the point of having a man who can’t protect his wife and children and can’t make money to support the family?

A real man should be able to bring peace to the world with his writing and to decide the outcome with his military skills.

Of course, this is not to say that women are worse than men, but the social environment is like this, and the requirements for women are too harsh.

Many things that men can do easily and the treatment they receive are like a chasm for women.

Zhong Zijun never had the intention of favoring boys over girls. On the contrary, she was spoiled by Zhong Weiqian and his wife since she was a child, and she received fair treatment that many women did not get.

She studies, has her own career, and raises her children as she pleases. Her husband listens to her in everything.

Back then, when the Zhong family had not yet fallen, Gu Yunchuan pretended to respect her opinions in everything.

So she understands more clearly that some fairness is based on relative economic foundations.

If Gu Qinghuan stayed in the countryside all her life, she would be confined to this world and gradually become like all rural women, working from sunrise to sunset, and resting over and over again.

If Xu Huaian can make a career, Gu Qinghuan's status will rise accordingly.

The temporary sacrifice and hard work are worth it now.

This is a mother's secret hope, hoping that her daughter can live a good life.

She didn't know how society would develop in the future, nor did she know that her daughter could make a name for herself.

But her heart is good, and this is the best choice Gu Qinghuan can make at the moment.

Gu Qinghuan had no way of telling her that the college entrance examination would be resumed soon, and she would be able to return to the city on her own then.

There was no way to tell her that she had her own space and spiritual spring, and that she could survive and live a stable life without relying on Xu Huaian.

She just hugged her mother gently.

The love of the parents is far-reaching.

For the first time in her past and present lives, she experienced this complex and passionate love.

We had a lively lunch together.

In the afternoon, Ji Linhai and Old Man Ji came over and brought a basket of things.

Similarly, it is basically some air-dried meat and dry goods.

Gu Qinghuan didn't feel comfortable asking for other people's things, and besides, her family already had enough prepared.

Old Master Ji said with a straight face: "Little girl, if you don't accept our things, our two families will not have any contact in the future!

Every time you call us to eat, your uncle Ji and I come running over and don't say anything polite to you, so you can't be polite to us either.

Besides, I am old, your uncle Ji’s cooking skills are not that good, and our family is not well off. I should have treated you to dinner during the New Year and other festivals, but I didn’t, and I feel very embarrassed.

You must accept these things as a token of our appreciation."

Ji Linhai didn't know how to say these polite words. He spread his hands helplessly and looked at Zhong Zijun, hoping that she could say something to ask Gu Qinghuan to accept these things.

Ever since he gave Zhong Zijun the gift that day, he has been feeling uneasy, fearing that Zhong Zijun would refuse it and return it to him.

After these days, there was no movement and Ji Linhai was full of hope.

Given Zhong Zijun's temper, the fact that he didn't back down shows that there is still hope for him.

When the two met again, Zhong Zijun felt a little embarrassed. She could not remain as calm as before and did not dare to look him in the eye.

Ji Linhai was a little disappointed when he saw her avoiding his gaze.

In the end, Gu Qinghuan accepted the gifts sent by Ji Linhai and his son.

Xu Huaian and others' luggage kept increasing.

In addition to their respective clothes, shoes and socks, there were beef jerky and cold rabbit prepared by Gu Qinghuan, dried pheasants and rabbits prepared by Zhong Zijun and the Ji family, and various dry goods.

The last supper of Lantern Festival was completed by everyone working together.

Grilled lamb chops, braised pork with potatoes, shredded pork with Beijing sauce, steamed sea bass, steamed egg with shrimp and tofu, dry pot chicken, glutinous rice balls, red bean rice pudding, braised pig's trotters, crispy pork, and Feilong soup.

The staple food is a pot of white flour buns.

"These days, being able to enjoy such a delicious meal is no less delicious than the Manchu-Han Banquet in the past.

"Thank you, Gu Xiaoni, for giving us old people the opportunity to eat such delicious food in our lifetime." Grandpa Ji said with emotion.

Zhong Weiqian also nodded: "Yes! I haven't seen such a good feast for many years.

Basically, we have everything, whether it is flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the river, or growing on the land.”

"It's not a full banquet, as long as everyone enjoys the meal."

Everyone knew that Gu Qinghuan had some channels to get good things, so no one asked too many questions.

Gu Qinghuan didn't explain much and let them think that they got it from the black market.

"Well, it's delicious! The taste of this Beijing-style shredded pork is exactly the same as the one I had at a time-honored restaurant in Beijing. Was this made by Zijun?" Grandpa Ji is also a meat lover, and he went straight for the meat with his first chopsticks.

Zhong Zijun nodded embarrassedly. Her cooking of other dishes was average, but this dish of Beijing-style shredded pork with sweet and sour sauce was very authentic because she had learned how to make it, so she showed off her skills today.

Upon hearing this, Ji Linhai quickly picked up a piece of pork with chopsticks to taste it. To be honest, he was used to being rough around the edges and ate everything, so he couldn't really taste any difference from the Beijing-style shredded pork with sweet and sour sauce made by others. Anyway, they were all delicious.

But this did not prevent him from appreciating and praising it.

"Yes, it's delicious." The only word he could think of was "delicious".

Zhong Zijun turned her face away in embarrassment.

Seeing this, Gu Qinghuan deliberately teased Ji Linhai to ease the atmosphere.

"Uncle Ji, is what I cooked not delicious?"
