A 1970s mom raises a cute baby, and a crazy boss spoils her
Chapter 46 Celebration
Seeing the guests leave, Xu Huaian suddenly broke down and put one hand on Gu Qinghuan's shoulder to avoid falling.
It feels good to pretend to be cool, but you will be slapped in the face right away.
He looked at Gu Qinghuan with pitiful eyes, as if accusing her of being unromantic. He just wanted to give her a surprise and be decent, and didn't want her family to think that she had entrusted her trust to the wrong person.
Gu Qinghuan shook his head helplessly and obediently moved closer to serve as a human crutch for someone.
Seeing her coming towards him, Xu Huaian showed a barely perceptible smile.
Although Gu Qinghuan is tough on the outside, she is actually very soft-hearted.
Xu Huaian half leaned against Gu Qinghuan as he walked into the main room and sat down at the dining table.
While they were talking, the delicious food was soon served.
Looking at the table full of sumptuous food, Zhong Weiqian and Cheng Shuying were stunned again.
This table must be something that can be purchased with a small amount of money, right? There is so much meat, not minced meat, but real big chunks of meat.
How long had it been since they had eaten this kind of home-cooked food? It seemed like a long, long time ago.
Zhong Zijun smiled and asked Gu Qinghuan: "Didn't you say in the afternoon that you had something good to celebrate? What was it?"
Gu Qinghuan stood up and poured a glass of water for everyone. She filled the kettle with spiritual spring water. It was a rare occasion for her grandparents to come over, so this was just the right time to improve their health.
"There are so many good things worth celebrating in our family recently. Mom's injury is getting better and better, and Xu Huaian's condition has also improved significantly. He was able to walk a few steps today.
I also made some money from the Schisandra chinensis I picked from the mountains. I took out 300 kilograms today and made a total of 30 yuan, so I bought some meat.
We harvested so many vegetables this afternoon, and our family’s private plot will be back soon.” Gu Qinghuan counted on his fingers.
Except for the two children who were only busy eating, everyone else looked at Gu Qinghuan in surprise.
"Then Schisandra chinensis can be sold for ten cents per pound?" Zhong Zijun couldn't believe it, because this was a business with no capital. All he had to do was carry it back from the mountains and sell it, and he could actually make thirty yuan. It was too profitable.
There are plenty of these things in the mountains. As long as they are willing to spend time looking for them, they can make a fortune from them.
She didn't know that Gu Qinghuan deliberately understated the matter. In fact, she sold it for fifty cents per pound.
Zhong Weiqian and Cheng Shuying were also shocked when they heard about this. It was so easy to make money. Schisandra chinensis could often be seen in the mountains, but they didn't expect that they could actually sell it for money.
Only Xu Huaian looked at Gu Qinghuan "bragging" calmly without exposing her.
The family's living standards have improved dramatically recently, and everyone can have enough food and clothing. He has already discovered something. Although he doesn't know how she got the money and supplies, since she wants to reassure her relatives, he will cooperate with her.
"Huanhuan, this is speculation. Schisandra chinensis is a collective property. If it is discovered, you will be accused of undermining socialism and will be criticized. You must be careful." Zhong Weiqian thought a lot at the first moment.
The situation at home is like this now. It is a great thing to have a way to make money. We should not throw the baby out with the bathwater.
But he was indeed scared of being beaten and was afraid that his granddaughter would follow in his footsteps, so he spoke out to remind her.
Xu Huaian also nodded and said in agreement: "I agree with Grandpa."
The two women, who had been only concerned with making money, came to their senses at this point.
In fact, they are so sensitive about making money because they were sick before and couldn't afford the money for treatment.
Cheng Shuying never thought that one day she would worry about money.
"Huanhuan, your grandpa is right. Don't sacrifice yourself just to make money."
"You can all put your minds at ease, my method is absolutely safe, but he doesn't want others to know.
Come eat! It’s getting cold.”
Seeing how confident Gu Qinghuan was, no one said anything more. It would be a shame to pour cold water on a happy day.
The meal was so sumptuous, and it tasted delicious when eaten with white rice. The whole family praised Gu Qinghuan's cooking skills.
The main thing is that the meat is really fragrant, and the spiritual spring water is also a plus.
It’s a rare opportunity for me to come here, so after dinner, the family chatted for a while.
The main thing was that Zhong Weiqian asked in detail about some of the young man Xu Huaian's situation.
Xu Huaian said everything he could.
Zhong Weiqian and Cheng Shuying finally felt less upset.
In the past, in order to pay for their daughter's medical treatment, their granddaughter had to sacrifice her marriage in exchange for money. The two old people have always felt guilty and distressed.
Now it seems that if Xu Huaian can get better slowly, this would be a pretty good marriage.
The young man has a straight-looking appearance, is polite and outgoing.
He was able to become a deputy battalion commander in the army and was awarded first-class merit. He has been tested by the country, so I think his character and ability are beyond reproach.
As for the situation in his family, outsiders like them will not judge. Anyway, they have been separated and it is fine for them to live their own lives behind closed doors.
Gu Qinghuan originally wanted to send them back personally, but the two old people disagreed. They thought that if a young girl sent them back in the late night, and something happened again, they would be extremely worried.
In the end we could only let them walk back by themselves, but luckily they were close, only about ten minutes' walk away, and they had flashlights, so there shouldn't be any problems.
The next morning, Gu Qinghuan got up early, put on his old clothes again, put on gloves and a straw hat, and was fully armed.
I have to go to work today.
She has been delayed for so many days. If she doesn't go, the captain will probably invite her for tea.
Although she didn't care about those work points, there was already one person in the family, Xu Huaian, who didn't go to work. If she didn't go, it would be unreasonable to distribute rations to people at the end of the year.
Seeing that Gu Qinghuan was very busy every day, Zhong Zijun could only feel anxious. Because of her inconvenient hands, she couldn't help at all. She could only do some logistical work and cook.
Gu Qinghuan looked at the egg pancakes and cabbage soup on the table in surprise.
"Mom, have you changed your personality today?" Why is it that this person, who is usually so frugal that she wants to eat black flour pancakes every day, is so generous today and even makes white flour egg pancakes?
"Eat it quickly if you have something to eat!"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Zijun glared at her unhappily, as if she was a vicious stepmother.
She has been tired of the hardship in recent years and wants to live a long and stable life.
But now she has come to terms with it. Since her son-in-law doesn't think it's a waste, why should she be a bad person? Besides, the whole family really needs some supplements.
Gu Qinghuan was so embarrassed that she sat down to eat obediently.
Xu Huaian quickly tried to smooth things over: "Mom, Huanhuan didn't mean that. She just thinks you've worked hard."
Zhong Zijun felt comfortable hearing this.
"My son-in-law is so thoughtful!"
Gu Qinghuan secretly kicked Xu Huaian.
You need to talk more!
