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

After leaving the hospital, Gu Qinghuan rode her bike to the department store first. Her family was very poor and had nothing, so she had to buy some things.

Department stores mainly sell bicycles, watches, sewing machines, radios, clocks, clothes, cloth, rubber shoes, pencils, pens, paper, stationery, toys, etc.

She must buy a bicycle, but not now, as it would be too conspicuous.

Besides, department stores require tickets, and she doesn't have a bicycle ticket, so she can just buy a high-end imitation bicycle from a vending machine.

As for the watch, the original owner had one before, but it was later taken away by his stepmother's daughter.

This is not a necessity, but a clock is still needed at home. You can buy one from a vending machine. It’s a cheap one for 99 cents with free shipping.

Sewing machine, this also requires a ticket, but unfortunately she doesn’t have one either.

After the house was settled, she had to clean up the place. Winter was coming soon, and she needed to use a sewing machine to make winter clothes and quilts for the whole family. Sewing by hand was too slow and it would take several months to finish.

In her previous life, she learned how to use a sewing machine from her grandmother. When she was a child, her clothes were made by her grandmother herself. Through learning from her grandmother, she also learned how to make clothes.

At first, she posted some videos of herself designing and making clothes on the Internet and had a small number of fans. Unexpectedly, during a live broadcast, she became an instant hit because her meal was too tempting, and later transformed herself into a food blogger.

Far away.

Gu Qinghuan pulled herself back to her thoughts and walked straight to the children's wardrobe counter. According to the size of the two children, she chose a set of autumn clothes suitable for this period of time for each of them.

The rags they were wearing couldn't even be called clothes. There was no time to make them today, so I'd better buy them some clothes first.

The styles of clothes these days are really not that good, and the most common colors in the store are green, blue, black and gray.

Other colors are basically not seen. It’s not that they can’t be worn, but basically few people buy bright colors such as white, pink, and yellow for their children. They are not resistant to dirt and are difficult to wash.

Gu Qinghuan chose two blue clothes and matched them with black pants. Although the colors were not good, the quality was good and they felt very solid.

Two sets of clothes cost four dollars in total. Children's clothes do not require much fabric, so they are relatively cheap.

As for the madman, let's forget about him for now. His condition is not suitable for wearing normal clothes.

After the purchase, I went next door and got two pairs of cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles.

Carrying the things he just bought, Gu Qinghuan came to the local product store, which mainly sold iron pots, bowls and chopsticks, wooden furniture, etc.

There were four people in the family. Gu Qinghuan thought about it and only took four sets of bowls and chopsticks.

The last stop was the grain bureau’s store, where she picked out some cheap cornmeal, dark flour, and brown rice, all of which were healthy whole grains that she used to like to eat. She didn’t buy much, just ten kilograms each.

To be honest, coarse grains these days are so cheap that it's outrageous. All this food cost her only 90 cents.

Of course, I buy these just to show off. It's okay to eat them occasionally, but it's definitely impossible to eat them every day.

If she wants to eat rice or flour, she will place an order from the vending machine.

On the way back, I passed by a grocery store and took a look. It sold meat, eggs, fish, fruits, seasonings, etc. These were still available in the villa, so I didn't need to buy them for now.

After shopping around, it was estimated that it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon. Gu Qinghuan tied the things he bought on the back seat of the bike and pedaled hard back home.

"Brother, the white flour meat buns are so delicious. When my stepmother comes back, I will give her all the sweet fruits I picked today." Beibei said while licking her fingers that still had the lingering fragrance.

In her heart, sweet fruits are the best things she can offer.

Dabao didn't say anything. He sat alone on the doorstep, looking pitifully at the door with his deep eyes. It was already afternoon, and his stepmother hadn't come back yet. Perhaps she thought they were too much of a burden and had left.

It’s better this way. She is such a wonderful person and shouldn’t be dragged down by them.

In fact, he had heard of Gu Qinghuan a long time ago. The children in the village said that she was the most beautiful girl in Xujiatun, and many men wanted to marry her.

When he went out this morning, he heard Er Laizi telling others how Gu Qinghuan could be so desperate to sell herself to a madman as his wife. If I had known, I would have sold everything I had to buy her. One hundred yuan for such a beautiful wife, it's such a good deal.

For some reason, he was filled with rage at that time, and he rushed forward like a calf and knocked Erlaizi to the ground. In the end, Erlaizi pulled him over and gave him a good beating.

Maybe it was because of the bowl of fragrant white porridge last night that he already regarded her as his own in his heart.

"Brother, I don't think our stepmother is as bad as Erdan and Goudan say. She's better than grandma. At least, she's willing to feed us.

I will work hard and eat less in the future, so my stepmother will stay, right?" Although Beibei is young, he has his own judgment.

Dabao smiled bitterly and raised his hand to rub his sister's messy hair. He couldn't give his sister the answer she wanted, for fear that she would be even more disappointed after having hope.

He knew very well that Gu Qinghuan had some kindness towards them, but how long could this kindness last in the face of the cruelty of life?

Their grandparents used to be pretty nice to them, but things became like this after their father fell ill.

At such a young age, he has already understood the cruelty of human nature, and he is really scared.

They have struggled in the dark life for too long, and they worship this sudden bit of warmth as if it were a god.

But will the gods always favor them?

he does not know.

As soon as Gu Qinghuan entered Xujiatun, he ran into the "Xujiatun Intelligence Group". A few talkative aunties were grinding mills and gossiping at the same time.

Seeing the gossiping leader coming into the village, Qian Caihua quickly raised her hand and greeted him: "Huai'an's family is back. What have you been doing? Carrying so many bags?"

Gu Qinghuan was not able to react when she first heard about Huai'an's family. She knew that they came with bad intentions, so she did not look happy.

"We are short of everything at home. Let's go buy some daily necessities. The aunts can get busy first."

Just as she was about to leave, several people stared at the bundle tied to the back seat of her bicycle with envy.

Qian Caihua even touched it.

"Are you buying rice?" My goodness, this educated youth from the city just doesn't know how to live. If she eats the way she does, one hundred yuan will be enough for her for several days.

"It's brown rice and dark cornmeal. There's no food at home. We can't just starve." Gu Qinghuan opened the bag and showed it to her.

It's really dark cornmeal and brown rice.

"I'm telling you, Huai'an, you'd better spend the money you just got quickly. You're not in the same situation as when you were an educated youth."

Qian Caihua meant something. In the past, she only had to earn her own food, but now she has three more mouths to feed.

Gu Qinghuan couldn't stand it any longer, rolled her eyes and said directly: "Auntie Caihua, I shouldn't spend money to buy it, should I bring my whole family to your house to eat?"

Qian Caihua's face darkened: "My family doesn't mean that."

Wang Xiaohua, who was grinding the mill nearby, was surprised when he heard this: "Huai'an family, didn't your mother-in-law say that she gave you 300 kilograms of grain, enough to last until next spring? Why are you still going out to buy grain?"

"When did my mother-in-law say that? Why didn't I see a grain of food in the house?" Gu Qinghuan's eyes suddenly lit up. She finally got the chance.

"In the morning! She said she moved it to you personally, didn't she?"

Realizing that the secretary's wife had lied, several people looked at her excitedly, enjoying the fun.

Gu Qinghuan slapped her thigh and said, "I swear to God, my house is cleaner than a rat hole right now, where can I get food? No, I have to go ask my mother-in-law for food."

After saying that, she got on her bike and left. The old ladies had no mood to continue working, so they quickly packed up and followed her. It was a waste not to watch the battle between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law.

This was exactly what Gu Qinghuan wanted. She was determined to get some weight out of that shameless old woman Liu Guifang today.
