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

The next morning, Gu Qinghuan got up early and cooked a full pot of corn porridge, which was actually corn porridge with purple beans in it.

Although it is a coarse grain, it is delicious. Gu Qinghuan liked it in his previous life. It is soft, sticky and sweet, and the fragrance of corn can be smelled in one bite.

I also steamed a pot of steamed buns made from 20g of flour, each one was fluffy and soft.

The family had breakfast on the new kang table in the east room, with each person having a bowl of corn porridge and plenty of big steamed buns.

Dabao and Beibei ate a full bowl of corn porridge and a steamed bun. They stopped only when they could not eat any more. Gu Qinghuan quickly asked them to go out to digest the food.

The two little ones took the initiative to take over the task of washing dishes, and Gu Qinghuan was also happy and relaxed.

Xu Huaian had his usual good appetite and ate two bowls of barley porridge and three big steamed buns.

After the meal, Gu Qinghuan drank the medicine with a bowl of spiritual spring water as usual.

Xu Huaian seemed to be much more stable these past two days, not as emotional as when they first met.

It seems that the spiritual spring water and medicine are helpful to him.

After cleaning up, Gu Qinghuan sneaked into the space and simmered a pot of lean meat porridge in a casserole over low heat. This was lunch prepared for her mother and grandmother.

After getting Xu Huaian's discharge certificate and identity certificate from Dabao, Gu Qinghuan prepared to go to the county with his bags.

“I have to go to the county today to buy supplies for the winter and pick someone up, so I may not be back until the evening.

I cooked some extra barley porridge and steamed buns for you in the morning. You can heat them up and eat them at noon. I will make delicious food for you when I come back in the evening.

I'm not at home, so don't open the door no matter who knocks. We have enough food and drink at home now, so you don't have to worry about it. Also, talk to dad more."

For the first time in her life, Gu Qinghuan felt the feeling of being worried.

She was afraid that something might happen to the two little ones if she left them at home, but it was not convenient for her to take them with her.

The two little ones nodded their heads repeatedly and reluctantly sent her out the door.

"Mom, please come back early." Beibei looked anxiously through the crack of the door for a long time until Gu Qinghuan walked away.

As usual, Gu Qinghuan went to the educated youth site to borrow a car from Chen Jianghe, with the main message being that I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed.

Why walk if the problem can be solved with just two cents?

Chen Jianghe was in the house today. When he heard her coming to borrow the car, he acted very generously: "Just take it if you want to use it. You don't have to pay me."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xue cursed Gu Qinghuan from head to toe in her heart, calling her a vixen who seduced Brother Jiang He even after getting married.

Gu Qinghuan quickly waved her hands and said, "Don't say that. What's the relationship between us? I can't stand it."

"Leave the money here. I'll ride the bike away first and return it to you in the evening."

Practice makes perfect, and the more you ride this bike, the better it becomes.

Gu Qinghuan’s first stop was the Civil Affairs Department of the county government, where he found the Veterans Affairs Department.

The people in this department are quite free and even have time to drink tea.

She directly explained her purpose and handed over the relevant documents. The other party did not make things difficult for her. After checking, they immediately approved a note for her and told her to go to the finance department to collect the money.

Before she left, someone asked her, "Comrade, if you really have difficulties in your life, remember to report it to the government. If it is true, the amount of subsidy can be increased as appropriate."

This comrade has family members who have served in the military, so he sympathizes with soldiers. He has just read Xu Huaian's information, learned about his illness, and realized that the family may have lost its main labor force.

It may also be that Gu Qinghuan's clothes were too simple, with large patches on top of small patches, which led to misunderstanding.

She also wanted to come here to collect the money, so she didn't want to dress too fancy, and so she was still wearing her old clothes.

In fact, from Xu Huaian's few words, it can be seen that he does not want to trouble the government, otherwise he would not have been retired for so long and never come to collect pension.

Therefore, it would be difficult for Gu Qinghuan to help him apply for subsidies.

“Thank you, comrade. The child’s father did not want to trouble the government too much, so he has not come to collect his pension in the two years since he retired from the army.

There was nothing I could do this time. His illness was getting worse and worse, and he was already unconscious. I wanted to take him to a big hospital, so I took the initiative to come and collect the money.

I will not apply for the subsidy. I will leave it to those who need it more. Thank you."

When she goes out, Gu Qinghuan gives herself an identity and looks like a simple rural woman.

Everyone in the office was in awe when they heard her "story". People of this era support the military, and this was especially true for such a respectable military comrade.

"Is it the comrade named Xu Huaian? I remember him. When I was sorting out the information before, I was wondering why he never came to collect his pension. So this is what happened."

"Comrade, is this enough money for your medical treatment? These two dollars are a small token of my appreciation."

"I'll give you a piece."

"I didn't bring any money today, here are some food coupons..."

...

People in the office stood up and donated generously, one dollar or two dollars.

Gu Qinghuan was startled.

I had only heard about it on TV before, but this was the first time I truly felt the simplicity of people of this era.

I think those who can get a job in the government are all people with good family backgrounds.

She waved her hands helplessly: "No, no thanks. It's not easy for all of you. How can I take your money?"

After saying this, she ran away as if she was escaping.

The staff member who had just helped her with the process chased after her with the money that everyone had collected.

Gu Qinghuan insisted on not accepting the money, and after much persuasion, the other party finally took it back and told her to report any difficulties she had.

Gu Qinghuan felt a swelling in his heart, an indescribable feeling.

The world is in tatters, but there are always people patching it up.

There are people like Liu Guifang who don't even care about her own son, and there are people like the one just now who generously donate money to strangers.

At this moment, she suddenly felt that the world she lived in had become very real, and everyone was flesh and blood and existed in reality.

It has been two years and three months since Xu Huaian retired from the army.

Fifteen dollars a month, a total of four hundred and five dollars.

A little more than Gu Qinghuan had imagined.

These four hundred yuan just made up for the gap she had spent before.

And I can get 15 yuan every month in the future, which is great.

After receiving the money, Gu Qinghuan prepared to send the things for his uncle first.

Arriving at the county post office, Gu Qinghuan found the address where his uncle's family was sent from his original notebook.

I wrote a letter temporarily and put it in the package and sent it over.

In fact, there are only a few words in total.

If you can help collect the fine grain, please reply to my letter.

The final signature is: even number.

At first glance, the letter seems incomprehensible, but my uncle is an educated man and he will definitely understand it at a glance.

If this letter is read with an even number, its meaning changes: If you can collect the grain, please reply.

She was afraid that her uncle was being monitored and even his letters were being checked, so she wanted to use this method to find out about his current situation and whether the food could reach him.

After all, when they were sent down to the countryside, my grandparents and mother were relatively lightly criticized, but my eldest uncle and his wife suffered the most. The people above directly named them and sent them to the most difficult place for reform.

After writing the letter and sending it together with the package, it was almost noon.
