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

Chen Ershu nodded, then took a few pieces and handed them to them one by one to taste, not leaving out the two children.

"These are the mung bean cakes and red date and gorgon fruit cakes made by my wife. You can all try them. They are delicious."

Gu Qinghuan tasted a piece of mung bean cake and found it unexpectedly delicious. It was slightly lighter in flavor than the cakes made by Aunt Xu, but she could taste the flavor of the food itself better.

Gu Qinghuan doesn't like desserts that are too sweet, so this one is just right, but it may not be in line with people's aesthetic tastes today.

Nowadays, everyone thinks that the sweeter the food, the better.

Gu Qinghuan took a glance and found that they didn’t sell many, probably because they didn’t taste sweet enough.

"What do you want to change this time?"

Chen Ershu scratched his head: "It doesn't matter what I change, the most important thing is that I want to change something to prepare for the birth of the baby. I'm short of everything."

Gu Qinghuan happened to bring cloth and cloth coupons, which they could all use.

"Then I'll exchange the cloth coupons and cloth with you?"

Chen Ershu was overjoyed and immediately agreed to the exchange.

According to the market price, Gu Qinghuan exchanged the cloth coupons and cloth she brought with her for all the pastries they brought.

The young couple thanked him and left happily.

We ate as we walked and bought candied haws and sugar-coated fruits for the two children, who ate non-stop.

Gu Qinghuan saw an old man in the corner. There were three beautiful mink skins on his stall. They were very beautiful.

No one asked the price.

Gu Qinghuan walked up and asked, one skin cost one hundred yuan, and three skins cost three hundred yuan. No wonder no one bought it.

To be honest, Gu Qinghuan didn't need the three hundred yuan. The mink fur was indeed a rare treasure. If it were put into later times, it would be worth tens of thousands of yuan.

But maybe it was because of the environment she grew up in that she developed a habit of not wanting to spend a lot of money on herself (except for buying a house), and she always wanted to reconsider it.

Seeing that she liked it but was hesitant, Xu Huaian walked up to her and took out money from his pocket.

"I want all three skins."

The old man was stunned for a moment, then he took the money with a smile and started counting it.

"Young man, this is your wife, right? She is so caring!"

Gu Qinghuan quickly grabbed Xu Huaian's arm and whispered, "This is too expensive! It's actually unnecessary. By the way, where did you get the money?"

To be honest, Xu Huaian's action of buying her a mink without hesitation really pleased her. She felt extremely happy to be cared for by someone.

But she realized later that she didn't seem to have given Xu Huaian any money?

Although going to college doesn't cost money, there is no salary either. Where would he get the money to buy a mink?

Xu Huaian checked the leather carefully, then wrapped it up and carried it with him, treating it like a treasure.

“If you like it, it’s the most worthwhile thing. Don’t worry about the money. I have a classmate who wants to learn fighting, and I taught him for a month.

This is the reward he gave me. I definitely didn't hide any of this money from you. I just forgot to tell you." Xu Huaian almost swore to the heavens.

Gu Qinghuan said happily: "Thank you very much."

"As long as you like it."

"Mom, do you like mink fur? I will buy it for you when I grow up!" Dabao has been observing the two of them.

"Haha, you little brat, you should buy it for your wife in the future. Your dad can buy it for your mom."

The three of them exchanged some daily necessities and then went back home.

On New Year's Eve this year, Gu Qinghuan, as usual, brought Zhong Zijun and her grandparents over to celebrate together, and the father and mother of the Ji family were also there.

Although not as good as last year, it was still lively.

At noon, Gu Qinghuan and Xu Huaian went back to the old house to have lunch. This was the only time they did this throughout the year.

Gu Qinghuan took a pound of meat as a token of her appreciation.

Lin Xiaomeng was even more stingy and only brought half a pound.

The three sisters-in-law are cooking in the kitchen.

Yan Lijun took the initiative to talk about her life over the past few months.

After she finished her confinement and rested for a month, she went back to work.

The child was originally taken care of by Liu Guifang, who fed him malted milk during the day and she came back to feed him breastfeeding at night.

As a result, she noticed for several days that the baby was crying with hunger and sucking milk desperately when she came home at night.

So she deliberately looked for an opportunity to strike back and discovered that Liu Guifang had actually given her son's malted milk to the fat daughter of Xu Meiling. No wonder the child was always hungry and kept crying out of hunger.

Xu Meiling is now also working as a scorer in the team. During the day, she sends her daughter to Liu Guifang to look after her.

Miaomiao is a few months older than Jianjian, but looks like she is a year older and is chubby. Jianjian was born prematurely, weak, and small and thin, but her grandmother was so cruel as to embezzle her grandson's food rations.

It turns out that she is using her own money to buy things and feed someone else's baby. The most important thing is that the baby's mother can come back from time to time to feed the baby. Jianjian relies on this malted milk.

Yan Lijun was so angry that she went on a rage in front of everyone without giving Liu Guifang any face, and scolded her, saying that her heart was set on her.

Liu Guifang did something wrong and she should be blamed.

In the end, they parted on bad terms, and the next day Yan Lijun simply took her child to work.

The child was weak, so basically she ate and slept, and didn't interfere with her work. Her boss also understood her and allowed her to work and take care of the child at the same time, but she had to obey her work first.

Sometimes, when Yan Lijun really couldn't leave, she would send the child back to her parents' home for a day. It was always better than leaving the child to a cruel grandmother like Liu Guifang.

Ever since Yan Lijun gave birth to Jianjian, she has completely lost interest in Xu Huaiyu. During these months when he went to study, she never wrote to him.

When Xu Huaiyu came back from winter vacation, he found out about the foolish things Liu Guifang had done. Of course, he felt more sorry for his son. He had a big fight with Xu Meiling and asked her not to send her child to him in the future.

Liu Guifang said all kinds of bad things about Yan Lijun in front of her son, but no matter what Xu Huaiyu said, Yan Lijun treated it as nonsense and ignored it.

Women are like this. When she has experienced all the hardships and difficulties, everything else becomes unimportant.

Now, Yan Lijun just wants to work hard and support herself and her son.

Xu Huaiyu said if he could pass it, he would pass it. If he couldn’t, then forget it.

Gu Qinghuan and Lin Xiaomeng both felt the determination in her calm tone and were worried for her.

This lunch was not a peaceful one.

Xu Meiling said the child was hungry, so she asked Yan Lijun to take out the malted milk and make a bowl of milk.

If nothing had happened before, I would have just given it a bowl of malted milk.

But Yan Lijun just couldn't stand Xu Meiling, and she had an attitude of, "I just want to take advantage of you, what can you do to me?"

So the two of them almost got into a quarrel.

Finally, Xu Mingshan got angry and said, "If you want to eat, eat. If you don't want to eat, go back!" This ended the farce.

Chen Jianghe arrived late and after learning about the situation, he slapped Xu Meiling on the spot.

"I told you not to always be cheap. Didn't I give you money? Doesn't Miaomiao even deserve a bag of malted milk?"

Since having a child, Chen Jianghe has worked much harder to earn work points, and with the help from his family, their life is not difficult.

He gave Xu Meiling money and asked her to buy malted milk for her daughter, and that's what she "bought" instead.

"She's just a little girl, why would she spend so much money!" Xu Meiling insisted.

"Where's the money? Where did you spend it?" Chen Jianghe was furious.

As it turned out, Xu Meiling had used the money to see a doctor for a folk remedy. She heard that there was a barefoot doctor who had a way of treating women during childbirth, so she tried every means to find him for treatment.

She was injured when giving birth to Miaomiao, and it might be difficult for her to have children in the future. She was unwilling to accept this. She hadn't given Chen Jianghe a son yet, so why couldn't she have one?

Everyone was amused by her bold actions.

"So, you're reluctant to spend money on malted milk for your daughter, so she comes to us every day to get free food, but you're willing to spend money on medicine for yourself?

Xu Meiling, are you okay? "Yan Lijun seriously thought Xu Meiling was crazy.

Everyone feels it.

Seeing that she looked a little crazy, had difficulty expressing herself and was paranoid, Gu Qinghuan seriously suspected that she was suffering from postpartum depression.

She was obsessed with giving birth to a son, but ended up having a daughter. Then she was notified that she had lost the ability to continue having children. This would be difficult for any normal person to bear.

However, people like Xu Meiling do not deserve sympathy.

After careful consideration, Gu Qinghuan privately reminded Chen Jianghe to take Xu Meiling to see a psychiatrist when he had time, as she might have a problem with her brain.

As luck would have it, Xu Meiling heard it and thought that Gu Qinghuan was saying bad things about her behind her back, so she rushed up and wanted to hit Gu Qinghuan.

Xu Huaian and Chen Jianghe immediately stood in front of Gu Qinghuan and stopped Xu Meiling.

Chen Jianghe also moved subconsciously. Xu Meiling was too big, and he was really afraid that she would hurt Gu Qinghuan.

When he realized what was happening, he felt extremely disappointed. How could he protect Gu Qinghuan?

Xu Huaian glared at Chen Jianghe and pouted his lips. He knew that his wife would protect herself and didn't need anyone else to show her kindness.

Xu Meiling was almost driven crazy by the scene before her. One was her man, who should have stood behind her, and the other was her second brother, who should also be on her side.

In the end, they both firmly protected the other person, so where did that put her?

Xu Meiling went completely crazy. She picked up a bench and threw it at Chen Jianghe. Chen Jianghe felt guilty and had to take the beating.

She hysterically smashed everything she could get her hands on.

After smashing the place, he ran out without even eating.

Chen Jianghe could only entrust the child to Liu Guifang and then go out to look for the person.

The meal ended up being very bad. Gu Qinghuan only ate a few bites for the sake of politeness as he really had no appetite.

Liu Guifang wanted to scold Gu Qinghuan for being a troublemaker and making everyone's New Year's celebration uneasy, but after looking at Xu Huaian, she held back.

Things are different now. Xu Huaian is no longer the son who obeyed her every word.

She had no doubt that if she scolded Gu Qinghuan today, Xu Huaian would go crazy and would not recognize any of his relatives.

After barely finishing her meal and returning home, Gu Qinghuan's mood improved again.

"I'm really not talking nonsense. I suspect she has postpartum depression, so I want Chen Jianghe to take her to see a doctor. It's not too serious now, so it's better to intervene early." Gu Qinghuan explained to Xu Huaian on the way.

Xu Huaian rubbed her rabbit fur hat.

"You don't have to explain, I know." He believed her unconditionally.

Gu Qinghuan became happy again. No matter what the Xu family thought, as long as Xu Huaian believed in her and she had a clear conscience, that was enough.

As for Xu Meiling's illness, if they don't believe it, then just let it die.

After all, it’s hard to persuade a damn ghost with good words.
