Time Travel Article: My parents divorced at the beginning

After instructing the cart driver to help pick up the luggage and parcels that Gu Qingyu had mailed in advance from the post office, Gu Qingyu first sent Chen Mingzhu back to the guesthouse.

At the door of the guesthouse, Gu Qingyu gave Chen Mingzhu some final instructions before following the cart driver to the county party committee staff quarters.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the family compound, the aunts and grandmothers who were picking vegetables and chatting in the compound saw the large cart of things following behind Gu Qingyu and immediately started talking.

"My goodness! Sister Wang, have you seen that? I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to look at that big wardrobe when I was preparing for my eldest son's wedding. It cost over fifty yuan, not including the ticket!"

"Young people just don't know how to live. They spent so much money on this new thing. They might as well go to the scrap yard and buy a 70% to 80% good one. It's only 20 yuan at most, and no ticket is required!"

Gu Qingyu listened to the discussions of people around her and realized that she had done something wrong when shopping today.

People are not well off these days. Even though the people living in this family compound are the main leaders of Ping'an County, families with many people have to budget carefully, and the leaders' families don't have any surplus food.

As the saying goes, wealth should not be shown off. She had just told Chen Mingzhu to keep a low profile. On the other hand, Gu Qingyu looked at the pile of things she bought and secretly warned herself to be careful.

Everyone followed the cart and talked all the way. When the cart arrived at Gu Qingyu's house, someone saw the cart driver preparing to unload the goods, so he greeted the onlookers.

"Look at this little guy, let's go give Xiao Gu a hand!" said an auntie who was nearly 1.8 meters tall, with a masculine appearance and a somewhat burly figure.

"Mrs. Chen, don't worry. We can take care of Xiao Gu in no time."

After saying that, without waiting for Gu Qingyu to refuse, several people took turns carrying the quilt and the bowl. Mrs. Chen even worked together with the cart driver to carry the large wardrobe into the house.

It can be seen that this Mrs. Chen is not only strong but also very influential in this family compound. I just don’t know which leader’s wife she is.

Gu Qingyu didn't even have time to get started, so she could only follow everyone into the house carrying her newly bought thermos.

The cart driver took the fare from Gu Qingyu and left. Gu Qingyu looked at her new neighbors who were still putting her pots and pans in order, pulled out the package she had stuffed under the bed, took out a bag of fruit candy from it, and gave handfuls to everyone she met.

"Thank you, aunties! Thank you so much!"

"If it weren't for you, I don't know how long it would take to clean up. I haven't even had time to boil some water to make tea for you. Have some candy first!"

"This girl is quite good at handling things, so we won't be polite!" Mrs. Chen was not polite to Gu Qingyu either. Just looking at the way she spent money, you could tell that she was a wealthy person.

Everyone helped Gu Qingyu finish the final cleanup. It was getting late, so after saying goodbye to Gu Qingyu, everyone went back home to prepare dinner.

After seeing off these enthusiastic aunts in the family compound, Gu Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief.

Returning to the inner bedroom, Gu Qingyu took out the sheets and quilt covers stuffed in the package, put the quilt on and spread it out. Lying in the soft quilt, Gu Qingyu stretched out and fell asleep comfortably.

Gu Qingyu didn't even have dinner and slept until dawn the next day. When he looked up, he saw that it was already past 10 o'clock in the morning.

Gu Qingyu got up, made her bed, washed up, and left the house. The dormitory she was assigned was located on the first floor, opposite the public pool in the compound. The women preparing lunch were chatting by the pool while picking vegetables.

Gu Qingyu paused as she opened the door and stepped out of the house, then calmly greeted all the aunts.

"Sister Chen, hello everyone!"

"Comrade Xiao Gu, get up. Did you get a good rest last night?" Mrs. Chen asked with a smile when she saw Gu Qingyu.

"Have you had breakfast? We steamed buns made of three kinds of flour this morning. Would you like some?" A voice sounded at this time. The speaker was a slightly younger and plump woman.

Gu Qingyu was a little confused when she saw that this person was not the one who came to help with Mrs. Chen yesterday.

"This is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Qin family who works at the seed station of your unit. You can just call her Sister-in-law Qin." Seeing that Gu Qingyu was puzzled, someone smiled and introduced her.

Gu Qingyu smiled and nodded when she heard this, then said, "I've eaten! I've eaten! Thank you, sister-in-law!"

Last night, after the heads of each family came back, they basically emphasized this to their wives and children at the dinner table.

Comrade Gu, the new arrival in Ping'an County, is in a high position at a young age. He has no idea what his background is, so he should be careful when dealing with people and avoid offending them.

As soon as Gu Qingyu stepped out of the house, she was greeted with a wave of warm greetings. Gu Qingyu was really a little overwhelmed.

But there are also advantages. Sister Chen, the tall and strong sister-in-law who helped Gu Qingyu yesterday, is the eldest daughter-in-law of Secretary Chen, the top leader of Ping'an County.

After her introduction, Gu Qingyu basically recognized everyone in the family compound in a short while.

Just when Gu Qingyu was chatting happily with everyone, a discordant voice sounded beside him.

"These people really have no sense of public morality!"

"You've washed the dishes but you're still taking up space. Are you letting anyone else use it?"

Everyone was talking together without noticing that the pool was blocked. Gu Qingyu was standing at the edge of the pool. When she heard this, she immediately stepped back to make room.

The man who was speaking came towards me with a basin in his left hand and a basket of vegetables in his right hand.

When passing by Gu Qingyu, he deliberately swung the basket with a big movement, splashing the mud on the vegetables onto Gu Qingyu's pants.

With a bang, the vegetable basket fell heavily to the ground, and the freshly picked radishes inside were thrown into the basket and bounced up. One of them rolled to Gu Qingyu's feet due to the force.

Gu Qingyu looked at the mud spots on his pants and the round white radish rolling at his feet. After thinking for a while, he picked up the radish and handed it over.

The other person looked at the radish that Gu Qingyu handed over, reached out to take it without saying thank you, and threw it directly into the basin and started washing it.

Watching the other person scrubbing vigorously, she felt that these radishes must have had a grudge against her in her previous life. Gu Qingyu even saw that the skins of several radishes had been peeled off.

Gu Qingyu didn't know the other person either, but seeing the other person's unfriendly attitude, she thought she should leave.

At this time, someone couldn't stand the other person's behavior and said, "Sister-in-law Gao, you are so angry so early in the morning!"

"You didn't even say thank you when Xiao Gu picked up the radish for you. Look at the mud you just splashed on his pants!"
