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

"Huai'an family, Huaizhi family, after you two are selected, will you teach our children to read?"

"You two sisters-in-law have really brought honor to our Xujiatun. I heard that no one from the neighboring village was elected."

...

There were all kinds of things being said, even Yang Fengmei, who used to dislike Gu Qinghuan, said nice things in the crowd that were not what she meant.

No matter what the relationship was like at ordinary times, everyone suddenly started to flatter and try to please each other at this moment. This was human nature, and Gu Qinghuan had already witnessed it.

"We have just passed the first round. It is not certain whether we can be selected. We have an exam tomorrow, so let's go back and prepare first." After saying that, Gu Qinghuan got on his bicycle and left.

Lin Xiaomeng also hurried to catch up, leaving those people far behind.

She caught up with Gu Qinghuan and said, "Qinghuan, believe it or not, if we are not chosen tomorrow, they will have a completely different attitude! Maybe they will even laugh at us for wanting toads to eat swan meat."

Gu Qinghuan turned around and smiled sarcastically: "Yes! So we must try our best not to give these people the opportunity to laugh at us."

“When I was in the city, I only heard that the country people were simple and honest, but when I came here, I found that it was not the case.

Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. There are truly kind and simple people, but they are very few. Most people are the kind who take advantage of others' misfortunes.

He hates people who have it and hopes people who don’t have it. When you are prosperous, he greets you with a smile and flocks to you. When you are in trouble, he avoids you and adds insult to injury. "

Lin Xiaomeng could say this, it seems that she has suffered a lot in Xujiatun over the years and has seen through many people and things.

I hope she wakes up in time and stops doing things that hurt others and herself!

"You're right, so we can't become that kind of person." Gu Qinghuan looked into her eyes.

Lin Xiaomeng looked at Gu Qinghuan's clear eyes and felt a little ashamed for a moment. She remembered what she had done before, and then turned her face away, not daring to look at her again.

Gu Qinghuan's eyes were like a mirror that could reveal one's inner evil, and she saw her own miserable self in them.

She seemed to know everything, and yet seemed to know nothing.

Seeing that she was deep in thought, Gu Qinghuan reminded her, "We'll be at your house soon. We parted ways at the fork in the road. Go back and have a good sleep. Everything will be fine tomorrow."

Lin Xiaomeng came back to her senses and got the direction right.

"You too."

Gu Qinghuan returned home and arranged for the two children to take a nap first. This was their unshakable habit, as they believed that only by getting a good rest could they grow taller.

Then she found a bunch of things and prepared to select some to send to Lin Shengnan to congratulate her on the upcoming new life.

After a winter, there were many pregnant women in the village, popping up like mushrooms after rain.

The ones I knew included Xu Meiling and Yan Lijun, Qiu Shuxia and Lin Shengnan, as well as some young wives I was not so familiar with.

She didn't want to have anything to do with Xu Meiling because she was not familiar with her and she disliked her.

Yan Lijun gave red envelopes to the children last time, and this favor has not been repaid yet.

Today is Friday, she should be back in the evening, so I'll send her something in the evening.

This girl is really pitiful. She is pregnant and still has to go to work in the freezing cold to support Xu Huaiyu, such a wimp.

Forget about Qiu Shuxia. Firstly, we have no relationship with her. Secondly, she already gave him a generous gift last Chinese New Year, which is just right. Too much is as bad as too little.

As for Lin Shengnan, this tall girl, in the original body's memory, had helped her intentionally or unintentionally many times, and she was a kind-hearted girl.

Since everyone is an educated youth, they can visit each other often. After all, Gu Qinghuan still has to live in the village for more than a year, and it is not good for him to always be alone. He needs to have one or two friends to visit him occasionally.

This time she was pregnant, and she was alone in the village without any elders to help her, so her life must have been difficult.

Thinking of this, Gu Qinghuan took the basket and started packing things.

Two pounds of brown sugar, three meters of soft cloth, a bag of red dates, and a large piece of pork liver weighing several pounds.

Several wild boars had been killed in the space before, and their internal organs were too smelly. After Xu Huaian processed them, Gu Qinghuan put them outside to freeze so that the smell would not be easily detected.

We don’t eat much pork liver at home, and we only stir-fry it occasionally, so there is a lot left. If we don’t consume it, it will become smelly when the snow melts in spring.

It just so happened that Lin Shengnan was pregnant. Pregnant women are prone to anemia, so they should eat more offal. Pork liver is good for iron supplementation and is very suitable for her.

So Gu Qinghuan directly gave her about three pounds of pork liver. A pig's liver weighs five or six pounds, so this is almost half a pig's liver.

Gu Qinghuan has always been generous to those who have shown kindness to him, but the premise is that they deserve it.

There were too many things to fit in one basket, so Gu Qinghuan had to divide them into two baskets.

Fortunately, the family had prepared a lot of baskets, which Xu Huaian had woven himself, and they were quite useful.

Gu Qinghuan came to Lin Shengnan's place with some things in his hand. At that time, other educated youth were either still in the commune or resting. Only the couple were in the yard, studying how to weave a cradle.

"What are you doing?" Gu Qinghuan looked at the pile of bamboo strips on the ground in confusion.

The couple seemed to be in a good mood. It seemed that the results of the morning did not affect their mood.

Lin Shengnan was also very happy to see Gu Qinghuan coming. She quickly sent Zhu Chunlin to pour water, and then invited Gu Qinghuan to come into the house and sit down.

"We haven't seen each other for a long time. Is this your first time to come to my place? This place is small, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you.

My due date was at the end of August or the beginning of September. It was still a bit hot then, so we discussed making a cradle for the baby out of bamboo strips so that it would be ventilated and cool.

People in my hometown like to do this, putting their children in bamboo baskets to play, but we are clumsy and haven't figured it out yet." Lin Shengnan explained awkwardly.

She has now shed her previous immature look, and is now full of maternal love, with gentleness and tranquility in her every move.

It was difficult for Gu Qinghuan to understand the changes that pregnancy brought to a woman, but it was obvious that Lin Shengnan was very happy and looking forward to the child, and that was enough.

This child has a pair of parents who love him very much, so he will surely be very happy after he is born.

"It's so nice to be your child! You are such good future parents!

I was thinking of coming to comfort you, but it seems that’s not necessary.” Gu Qinghuan said jokingly.

"No, we are just doing the best we can. Our abilities are limited, so this is all we can do.

Your future children will be so happy! You and Comrade Xu are both good-looking, so your children will definitely be even better-looking! Haha.

When we both went to take the exam, we didn’t have high expectations. Without expectations, there would be no disappointment.” Lin Shengnan was quite open-minded.

Is this her child with Xu Huaian?

Gu Qinghuan didn't dare to think about it.

She didn't know whether she would choose to give birth to a child, but she knew that if she chose to be a mother one day, she would definitely be a competent mother and let her child grow up happily.

"Here are some things I brought you."
