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

Gu Qinghuan's family of three also started to eat lunch.

There were forty dumplings, shared among three people. Gu Qinghuan took twelve for herself and divided the rest equally between the two of them.

"Mom, grandma, eat dumplings quickly." Gu Qinghuan handed the divided dumplings to them.

Zhong Zijun looked at her daughter's rough hands and felt a little uncomfortable. She took the lunch box with her right hand, which was able to move, and put two dumplings from her lunch box into her daughter's bowl.

"Huanhuan, you work hard, so eat more to have strength. Mom lies down all day, so she's not hungry."

Gu Qinghuan was stunned.

Nowadays, everyone is hungry. How can you have too many delicious dumplings?

At this moment, I really envy the original body because she has her mother's complete and unreserved love.

This was something she had always longed for in her previous life but never obtained.

Not all parents love their children.

"Okay, Mom, you eat too." Gu Qinghuan smiled sweetly and did not reject the love of her mother.

The word "Mom" that came out of his mouth also sounded more sincere and intimate than before.

Anyway, I brought chicken soup, so it doesn’t matter if I eat two fewer dumplings.

Cheng Shuying looked at the little actions of the mother and daughter and smiled knowingly.

She has always believed that no matter what situation a family is in, as long as they are united, they can't be defeated. It is the warm family affection that allows her old bones to survive the storms.

The family found the dumplings especially delicious. Although they had eaten better delicacies before, nothing could compare to the warmth they felt at that moment.

After eating the dumplings, the three of them divided the chicken soup in the thermos bucket. Gu Qinghuan specifically left the bulk for Zhong Zijun as she needed more nutrition.

The old lady praised Gu Qinghuan's chicken soup highly, and Gu Qinghuan also praised her pork stewed with vermicelli highly, which made her laugh.

From the conversation, I learned that the old man's son is the director of a grocery store, his wife is a retired cadre, and his family is well off.

However, in terms of good conditions, the former Zhong family was a wealthy family, and Cheng Shuying was also from a scholarly family.

Therefore, the three of them had their own ideas in mind, and there was no envy, jealousy or flattery in their words, but instead made the old lady next door look at them with higher regard.

After dinner, I learned that Zhong Zijun planned to go back after finishing the infusion in the afternoon.

Gu Qinghuan went to ask the doctor whether she could be discharged from the hospital.

The doctor said that if conditions permit, it would be best to stay for two more days, as the bones would be at risk of dislocation due to the bumpy journey.

Gu Qinghuan didn’t know about treatment, but it was always right to listen to the doctor.

"Mom, broken bones are a serious matter. We have to listen to the doctor. What should we do if something happens?" Gu Qinghuan said seriously.

For some reason, Zhong Zijun felt that her daughter was different today. She was no longer as lifeless as before and now looked lively, talking and laughing, and she handled the social interactions just right.

Just like now, when she was scolding her, she had a vague feeling of being a superior, which made her subconsciously want to listen to her.

"I... Huanhuan, I'm worried about your grandpa being alone in the village for the past two days. He's old and if something happens to him... please let me go back!" Zhong Zijun had a pleading tone in his voice at the end.

Gu Qinghuan still refused to give in.

"No, I'll go see grandpa, you just take care of yourself."

Cheng Shuying was packing up her things on the side. Seeing her daughter being defeated by her granddaughter, she couldn't help but chuckle. It's true that there is no tree that can cover the sky, and there is always something that can subdue something else!

"Huanhuan, I'm really fine. The family is in trouble because of my arm. I can't put all the burden on you. Please let me go back!" Zhong Zijun pulled her daughter's sleeve desperately.

Gu Qinghuan looked at Zhong Zijun seriously.

"Mom, I'm at home, just take good care of me, and I'll take care of everything else."

Her voice was not loud, but it had an inexplicable appeal, it was steady and calm, making people believe that she could really do what she said.

Zhong Zijun suddenly felt that the person in front of her was a little strange, not like her daughter. She shook her head to get rid of this strange thought.

Who else could this be if not her Huanhuan?

All in all, this change made her happy. Her child had grown up and could hold up half the sky for her and protect her from wind and rain.

If it weren't for this child, she might have been left disabled or even died after this injury.

Thinking of this, Zhong Zijun said helplessly: "Okay, I'll listen to you, but don't come over these two days. It's not good to always ask for leave."

Especially today's lunch, it was so luxurious, with pork and chicken, better than what we had during the Chinese New Year.

The family didn't have money to begin with, and she really didn't want Gu Qinghuan to spend money on her anymore. However, she also didn't have the heart to blame her daughter for her good intentions, as that would be a big letdown, so she specifically reminded her not to come again.

Who is Gu Qinghuan? She could tell Zhong Zijun's true thoughts at a glance. She agreed: "Okay, I won't come over for the next two days, but I will definitely come to pick you up when you are discharged from the hospital."

Zhong Zijun knew that he couldn't persuade her, so he had to agree: "Okay, you should go back early. It's not safe for a girl to be on the road alone."

Especially since her daughter is so beautiful.

Cheng Shuying saw Gu Qinghuan out.

"Grandma, you probably don't have much money left, right? Take this first." Gu Qinghuan took out thirty yuan from the space and stuffed it into Cheng Shuying's hand.

It's not that she's stingy and doesn't want to give more, she just can't find a reason to explain where the money came from.

Last time she said she borrowed it from the educated youth, but this time she really couldn't think of any excuse.

"Kid, did you go to borrow money again? Go back and give it back. You gave me one hundred last time, and paid sixty to the hospital. I estimate that it will only cost more than eighty yuan, including the medicine, to stay in the hospital for two more days. It's enough. Let's not starve again."

Cheng Shuying thought that the young people did not know how to live and were addicted to borrowing money, so she hurriedly tried to persuade them.

"You have to save some living expenses. You also need to eat, drink, defecate and urinate, and mom needs to eat something good to take care of her illness.

The old lady next door told me secretly that you guys just eat bread and drink water every day, how can this be nutritious! "

"How can it be without nutrition? Pancakes made of white flour are also a rare good thing.

Don't think I don't know that last year you replaced all your fine grains with coarse grains to help us. You haven't eaten fine grains for more than a year, right?

We have endured all the hard times, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

My child, I am sorry for the hardship you have suffered.” Cheng Shuying said with tears in her eyes while holding her granddaughter’s hand.

In the end, she insisted on putting the money into Gu Qinghuan's pocket.

Gu Qinghuan didn't expect this to happen. She knew that they would not buy anything delicious if she left the money, so she simply took the money and didn't give any more.

After saying goodbye to Cheng Shuying, she turned around and went back to the hospital cafeteria and paid for two days of meals for the two of them.

In the morning, each person has two steamed buns and a bowl of porridge. At noon, each person has one meat and one vegetable with two taels of rice. In the evening, each person has a bowl of shredded pork noodles.

The two days' food cost her a total of one and a half kilograms of food coupons and five dollars.

To be honest, it’s not that expensive, but it’s a bit troublesome to give food coupons. Fortunately, my original body still has some food coupons, but there are not many left.

When ordering the food, she specifically explained the situation to the canteen staff. She made the order without telling her family because she was afraid they would be reluctant to spend money on the meal.

Seeing how filial she was, the canteen staff gave her a thumbs up and said they would help deliver the meals at the appointed time.

Most people of this era were simple and honest, so Gu Qinghuan was not afraid that they would pretend to obey her but actually disobey her, so she left with many thanks.

In the evening, Cheng Shuying was about to buy some pancakes, but instead received two bowls of shredded pork noodles from the canteen. They both thought they had been sent to the wrong place.

Unexpectedly, the other party said that it was ordered by the patient's daughter and both the money and food coupons were given.

After confirming that it was Gu Qinghuan who ordered the meal, the mother and daughter looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

This child is becoming more and more resourceful.

"Comrade, it was my daughter who ordered the meal. Can the money and food coupons be refunded?" Zhong Zijun asked immediately.

"It can't be refunded! Your daughter has repeatedly told me that the money cannot be refunded and asked you to eat well." After saying this, the young comrade put down the food and left.

Zhong Zijun looked at the two bowls of shredded pork noodles on the table with some heartache.

Too extravagant.

The old lady in the next bed wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. People become sentimental when they get old.

"Your daughter was not born in vain. She is capable and filial, better than your son. This tactless man in our family makes me angry just by looking at him." The old lady praised Gu Qinghuan and glanced at her son.

Cheng Shuying quickly praised her son for being a very good person. As the director of a grocery store, he should be very busy, but he still remembered to bring meals to his mother after work. He is a very filial son.

The man looked at his mother in confusion. Did he not provoke her today?

After the pleasantries.

The two of them finished both bowls of shredded pork noodles.
