Chapter 430: You're being old-fashioned again

Lin Zhao pursed her lips, "Aren't you afraid Dad and Mom will think you're heartless?"

"How could that be." Gu Chenghuai's eyes were calm, "Dad and Mom know I'm busy. Besides, we're so far away, it's really troublesome to go back once, and I'm not lying."

"I didn't say you were lying, I just feel... you're acting so calm, I'm worried Dad and Mom will have opinions about you." Lin Zhao said.

"Won't." Gu Chenghuai shook his head.

He knew his father and mother, they wouldn't impose their own sense of right and wrong on their children.

They all knew that he had done his best for Gu Xing'er—

Her tuition was paid by him, other girls didn't have living expenses, didn't have new clothes, but she had them all.

If it weren't for Gu Xing'er targeting Zhaozhao, bullying his children, and almost harming his family, he couldn't have been so cold-hearted towards her.

In the end, the dream that was real and incomparable before affected Gu Chenghuai.

In the dream.

The girl he loved was gone.

The children his wife gave birth to after nine deaths and one life were also gone one by one, the root cause was Gu Xing'er accidentally killing his Zhaozhao.

Five lives.

Including his own, which was neither dead nor alive, six lives.

Their whole family's lives.

The most terrifying thing was...

Gu Chenghuai always felt that all of this had happened.

Therefore, he couldn't treat Gu Xing'er as the little sister he loved anymore.

"Alright, I'll listen to you, anyway I don't want to go back." Lin Zhao missed her own parents now, she only needed to take a car to Haicheng, which was much more convenient than before.

She hadn't been back to her hometown for a long time.

"Hmm." Gu Chenghuai responded.

Lin Zhao added: "Sister-in-law said the motor factory is building a branch factory, have you heard of it before? What's the situation?!"

"Know a little." Gu Chenghuai looked at her, "Tian Ruo and Cheng Xiaoxiao who left the brigade, do you remember them?"

"Remember." The little unlucky eggs who died because of Lu Baozhen and her mother in the original book, Lin Zhao had a deep impression.

"Comrade Cheng Li, who came to pick them up, gave a technology of his to the motor factory. Because of that technology, the motor factory decided to build a branch factory." Gu Chenghuai explained.

"There are requirements, right?" Lin Zhao asked.

Gu Chenghuai gave her a "you're really smart" look, "Yes, the requirement is to give priority to recruiting people from the Fengshou Brigade."

Lin Zhao sighed, "This person is quite righteous. Not bad, if you don't want to be an individual, you can enter the factory, at least have a decent job to support your family, it's quite good."

Gu Chenghuai nodded, "Yeah."

"There are quite a few young people with culture in the village, basically all of them have entered. I heard from second brother that the brigade leader laughed until his chin dislocated, and he had to get acupuncture for several days." He added.

Lin Zhao couldn't help laughing out loud.

After laughing, she remembered the bad news from her hometown, and felt it wasn't good to laugh so brightly, so she held back her laughter.

Gu Chenghuai was speechless.

After Gu Xing'er was buried, Gu Fu accidentally learned from his grandson that Zhang Aijun had hit her, and the Zhang family didn't treat her as a human being.

The old man was furious, took a group of children and grandchildren to the Zhang family's door, beat the Zhang family men until their noses were bruised and faces were swollen, and the few women who had bullied Gu Xing'er were also scratched and clawed by the Gu family's daughters-in-law, beaten quite badly.

Bursts of wailing and cries for help came from the Zhang family.

The neighbors didn't make a sound.

It was really because the Zhang family's character was bad, the cubs they raised were just doing some petty theft, seeing a beautiful girl, their small eyes were straight, and their drool was almost flowing out, as shabby as it could be.

If it weren't for the strict crackdown, who knows how many girls would have been angered to tears.

"Pui! Finally got retribution!" The neighbor old lady of the Zhang family only felt refreshed.

Before the opening, her family had finally cut a few taels of meat, and was stewing it. In the time it took her to go into the room to get something, the meat was stolen and eaten by the Zhang family's boy!

She went to find Old Lady Zhang to ask for an explanation, this person had a hooligan style, refused to admit it, and clamored for evidence!

Heavens, was she blind, not seeing the oil on her grandson's mouth.

From then on, the two families fell out, and when they met, they had to confront each other, each cursing dirtier than the other.

The daughter-in-law of this family also felt refreshed, "Really thought people didn't have a maiden home! Even if the daughter-in-law of Aijun had a bad relationship with her maiden home, knowing her daughter was bullied, they would also be angry. Look, retribution is here!"

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law leaned their heads together, looking hard at the neighbor through the window crack.

Other neighbors were the same.

Old Lady Zhang sat in the corridor and cried out.

"Bandits, a group of bandits, I'm going to report to the Gongan..."

No one paid attention.

Gu Mu scratched the face of Zhang Aijun's shrewish mother with a claw, staring at her with eyes that could kill.

Warning:

"My daughter is gone, from now on our old Gu family has nothing to do with you! If you dare to deceive people outside in the name of my family again, watch your skin!"

After speaking, she called everyone and left immediately.

As for the cubs Gu Xing'er gave birth to, they didn't take them.

The old couple of the Gu family understood very well.

They were old, taking the children back, and still had to be taken care of by the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law. Whether they managed them strictly or loosely was a problem.

The daughters-in-law had grudges with Xing'er, even if they took care of her children, it was hard to avoid resentment, so it was better to let them stay in the Zhang family.

After all, they were the Zhang family's bloodline, their own father was still there, and having enough to eat and wear wasn't a problem.

Afterwards, the eldest and second would go to see them once every half a year, believing the Zhang family wouldn't dare to be excessive again.

The old couple thought so, but didn't know that those children had developed resentment towards them.

Having so much money and not taking them back to live a good life!

Mom was right, not one of the Gu family was good.

When they grew up and had success, they absolutely wouldn't let the Gu family take advantage, and they would also avenge Mom.

Gu Yucheng turned his head and saw the resentment in the eyes of the few nephews, his heart suddenly cooled.

Heh.

What kind of upright values could Gu Xing'er, who had opinions about her family, teach her children... sure enough, he thought too much!

He had to find a way to keep his parents away from these few, so they wouldn't be schemed against.

Gu Yucheng calculated in his heart.

The opportunity came quickly.

The news that Qian Bao would come home for the New Year spread back to the Gu family.

Gu Mu felt sorry for her grandson, so she said to Gu Fu: "Qian Bao has few holidays, it's not easy to come back, why don't we go to the capital to find the third one?"

"The third one's family bought a house, we haven't been there yet, don't even know which way the door opens, what do you think? It just so happens you've been thinking about going to see the flag-raising, I'll accompany you."

Gu Xing'er passed away suddenly, the old couple of the Gu family were the most painful.

Before, they always said they would treat it as if they didn't have this daughter, the words were harsh, but after the child was gone, the hearts of the father and mother were empty, and it hurt when they thought about it.

It was also to divert the old man's attention that Gu Mu made this suggestion.

Before Gu Fu could speak, Gu Yucheng's eyes lit up, and he said: "Go, go see the flag-raising, isn't that what Dad wants to see most, go, I and the eldest brother are at home."

Gu Yuanshan followed and said: "Yes, the third one's family doesn't need to waste time on the road, Dad and Mom can stay with them for a few more days."

Gu Fu was moved.

Looking at his old wife's red and swollen eyes, he gritted his teeth, "Go! Let's go to the capital."

After deciding, Gu Yucheng was afraid the old couple would go back on their word, and immediately called his third brother.

After Gu Chenghuai got the news, he asked his police officer to help book tickets.

After returning home, he told Lin Zhao about this.

"If you ask me, Dad and Mom should just not go back to their hometown, stay in the capital. If they feel uncomfortable living with their daughter-in-law, move to the small Western-style house in Haicheng, the big city has good medical care, life is convenient, at their age they should enjoy blessings." Lin Zhao said.

Gu Chenghuai looked helpless, "For Dad and Mom, it's hard to leave their homeland, it's not strange that they don't want to settle in Haicheng."

He wanted to, but he didn't have the confidence to persuade his parents.

"They'll get used to it after staying for a while." Lin Zhao said, "They definitely won't be used to it at first, but when they feel it's interesting, you ask Dad and Mom to go back, they might not be willing."

"What kind of interesting way?" Gu Chenghuai asked.

He was old-fashioned, his life was very boring, after coming to the capital military region, he was busy with affairs, mostly stayed in the military region, and hadn't gone out with Lin Zhao to look around for a long time.

Lin Zhao was different from him, she was willing to try anything fresh.

"Video game city, go to the dance hall to dance disco, watch drama... going to the square to stroll is all very interesting!"

"Why did your second son go to Haicheng, isn't it because Haicheng has more fun things! Do you believe it, Gu Hangbao took Li Bao and played crazy."

How could Gu Chenghuai not believe it, the second one was like this, curious about everything, like his mother, willing to try everything.

He thought about it and had an idea.

Took time to call his son and gave Gu Zhihang a task.

Gu Hangbao, who was having a great time: "??"

Li Bao was also: "!!!"

"What to do?" The latter asked.

Gu Zhihang rubbed his brows, "Work hard." He spread his hands and said honestly.

"If Grandpa and Grandma really aren't willing to stay, we can't help it, try our best."

Mom and Dad asked him to do something for the first time, try to get it done, otherwise it would seem like the son was useless.

Gu Zhihang scratched his head, "Grandpa and Grandma don't like playing video games, and don't like dancing... they only like farming, shall we open all the land in the small Western-style house and let them farm?"

Gu Zhihang's expression stiffened, let him rest.

"Don't give ideas, let me think."

Gu Zhihang breathed a sigh of relief.

To keep Gu Fu and Gu Mu in Haicheng, Gu Zhihang wrote a few pages of plans, even mobilized his own grandfather and grandmother, using everything from radical methods to temptation.

These Gu family old couple didn't know yet.

Even if there was a pit in Haicheng waiting for them to jump, the tickets were bought, and the couple still embarked on the journey.

After the opening, travel policies gradually relaxed, and there were always many people on the train.

Gu Fu was literate, bold, and not afraid of going far, took his wife and left, Gu Yuanshan wanted to send them but was disliked.

The old couple arrived in Haicheng first to recognize the door.

Seeing that Western-style house, Gu Mu was dumbfounded.

"Such a big courtyard, is it really ours?!" She asked with a big tongue.

Gu Fu was also startled, he didn't expect it to be so big, he thought his son was exaggerating, didn't expect it to be really big.

This wasn't a small Western-style house, this was clearly a big Western-style house!

"Yes." Gu Zhihang answered, leading Grandpa and Grandma into their room.

"Grandpa, Grandma, this is your room, the first floor doesn't need to climb stairs, the view is also good, everything is in the house, there shouldn't be anything missing. If there is anything missing, tell me, Zhihang and I will go buy it, we are very familiar with Haicheng, we can find the place even with our eyes closed."

"So amazing!" Gu Mu was brainlessly praising her grandson, "You two played crazy, right?"

Before Gu Zhihang could answer, Gu Mu took out the handkerchief with money, wanting to give her grandson money.

"Is pocket money enough? If not enough, Grandma will give it to you, the filial piety you gave last time, and the pension money your dad gave me I haven't spent, all saved for you."

Gu Zhihang looked, the number on the passbook wasn't small, more than six thousand.

"Saved so much!" He was surprised.

He could earn money and spend money, couldn't understand why the older generation could only save and not spend.

"There's food in the countryside, no place to spend money." Gu Mu said.

How could it be?

Gu Zhihang didn't believe it.

He believed more that his grandma couldn't bear to spend it.

Gu Zhihang pushed the passbook back, "I don't want it, I can earn money, Grandma spend your own money."

"Hmm, Third Aunt said knowing how to spend money is also a skill." Gu Zhihang added.

Gu Mu couldn't help laughing.

"Who doesn't know how to spend money, what kind of skill is this."

Gu Zhihang set a trap for his grandma, "Grandma never spends it."

Gu Mu was silent.

Awkward.

Gu Fu spoke for his old wife, "Our place is small, there are few places to spend money, when you come to Haicheng, see if your grandma will spend it."

This answer could be considered falling into the trap set by Gu Zhihang.

"Grandma, people your age in Haicheng all go to dance disco, do you want to go see?"

Gu Mu was stunned, "What thing? Disco what?"

"Disco, very interesting." Gu Zhihang said, "It's hard to explain in words, you go see with me and you'll know."

He opened the cabinet and took out the clothes bought for Grandpa and Grandma.

"Wear this outfit to go."

The Gu family old couple looked, the clothes were very flowery, and they waved their hands repeatedly.

"These clothes... forget it, forget it, we are so old, wearing like this will be laughed at, like an old monster." Gu Fu refused.

Gu Zhihang's face was serious, "You're being old-fashioned again, you said you'd listen to me on the road!"

Ignoring his grandfather who held an opposing opinion, he looked at Gu Mu, "Grandma, my maternal grandfather and grandmother often go, they each have a pair of frog glasses, very stylish."

Hearing that the in-laws not only accepted it well, but also went, Gu Mu didn't want to show weakness, and said: "Go!"

This trip was miserable.

The peaceful life was gone forever, disco today, drama tomorrow, clothing store the day after tomorrow, night market the day after...

Life was colorful, their dress and appearance gradually became stylish, looking ten years younger.

Gu Fu was reluctant at first, seeing his wife getting younger and younger, he couldn't sit still, actively integrated and enjoyed life, then became obsessed with raising birds, after buying a beautiful parrot, he couldn't stop from then on.

When Old Qiao had time, he would come to find his old friend, and the little regret left in Gu Fu's heart disappeared.

During the New Year, Gu Yuanshan, who brought his wife and children to Haicheng to spend the New Year with his parents, asked his parents when they would return to their hometown.

The old couple felt a lot of reluctance in their hearts, and only then did they react, they had long been used to the pace of life in Haicheng, and hadn't thought about going back for several months.

Gu Yucheng said: "Go back what go back! Dad and Mom should just stay here to retire, people get younger staying here, the children's jobs are all in big cities, it's convenient to come over when you miss Grandpa and Grandma."

He and Gu Yuanshan were doing vegetable, egg, and meat reselling, starting from the local area, after a few years, the business expanded to the provincial capital, and the Haicheng market was expanding.

With the Changfeng Daily Chemical Factory as a foundation, their starting point was higher than others, and there was basically no difficulty in doing it.

People go to higher places, they wanted to settle in Haicheng.

Gu Chenghuai also said: "I agree with second brother's suggestion, Seeing Yaobao always says she misses Grandpa and Grandma, if Dad and Mom are in Haicheng, they can see you often."

In the hearts of the elderly, the grandchildren's generation is always the most precious, using the most coquettish Seeing Yaobao as a raft, it's guaranteed to be useful.
