Chapter 62

Gu Chan raised her head violently, her eyes as bright as lamps, and grabbed Lin Zhao's hand. "Zhao Zhao, are you telling the truth?"

Lin Zhao patted the materials for pasting matchboxes and smiled lightly. "The materials are all here, how could I be lying."

"Oh my, be gentle." Gu Chan hurriedly took the material bag and held it in her arms carefully. "Don't break them, these are all money!"

After finishing speaking, she looked at Lin Zhao seriously and gratefully. "Thank you for thinking of me."

Besides earning work points and saving eggs to sell at the supply and marketing cooperative, country people had almost no other income; Lin Zhao sent the job of pasting matchboxes, which was simply a pie falling from the sky.

That her sister-in-law could think of her made Gu Chan's heart burn, warmth surged through her whole body, and her eyes were slightly moist.

Zhao Zhao really has a heart.

Gu Chan wiped the corners of her eyes, and Big Stone and Little Stone pushed the door and entered the room.

Seeing his mother wiping her eyes, her eye sockets red, Big Stone took it for granted that the Third Aunt had bullied his mother again, and suddenly his eyes looked a bit wrong.

"Mom, are you okay?" Big Stone sat beside Gu Chan, looking like the head of the family.

Gu Chan was delicate in nature, saw at a glance that her son's expression was wrong, thought about it slightly, and knew what he was thinking.

She patted his back angrily.

"Why don't you greet people when you come in, hurry up and greet them."

Big Stone listened to his mother and called out dully: "Third Aunt!"

Little Stone felt it himself: "Third Aunt."

The older brother glanced at him, his mood depressed.

Last time Big Uncle came, he didn't see him so active.

Lin Zhao responded with a smile and took out a military green satchel for Big Stone. "I heard you're in elementary school, this schoolbag is for you, study hard."

In the original book, Wei Xiangdong was arrested for speculation and sentenced to ten years of labor reform, Wei Dasao mocked and ridiculed, bullying Gu Chan every day, Big Stone couldn't stand his mother being bullied, slashed Wei's family with a knife, it was a strict strike at the time, and he was sentenced to death...

This was the beginning of the tragedy of the Wei family's second room.

It was even more miserable later.

A schoolbag at the supply and marketing cooperative was not cheap; with the Wei family's conditions, they of course couldn't afford it. Big Stone looked at the brand-new military green schoolbag, of course he wanted it, his hands almost had their own thoughts, and he took it actively.

But he didn't.

He was still defensive toward his Third Aunt.

Compared to the schoolbag, Mom was more important.

"Zhao Zhao..." Gu Chan spoke out.

Lin Zhao interrupted her. "Big Sister, don't say you don't want it, it's my little heart for the child, Seeing Seeing Dazai and Hearing Hearing Erzai both have them."

The twins nodded.

Little Stone looked at the two identical faces, poked his head out from behind Gu Chan, and looked curiously.

"Little Stone, do you want to drink soda? If you want to drink, come over, we have some." Seeing Seeing Dazai took the initiative to wave at him.

Wei family's Little Stone had heard of soda, the captain's family's children had drunk it, saying it was sweet and delicious.

He instantly forgot his shyness, ran over, and looked at the two cubs, his expression easy to understand.

Where's the soda?

Seeing Seeing Dazai took out a water bottle, unscrewed the cap, and handed it over. "Inside is soda, my mother poured it in. You drink! After drinking, let Big Stone brother drink."

Little Stone didn't look at his brother, remembered the tough words Big Stone said, and shook his head. "My brother won't drink. My brother said sugar-coated bullets... don't even think about corroding his will."

After finishing speaking, he raised the water bottle with both hands and drank the soda.

"Delicious!" the little guy's tone was excited.

In the future, he could also tell his little friends what soda tasted like.

There were countless little bubbles jumping in his mouth, like needle tips pricking his tongue, sweet, different from white sugar water or brown sugar water.

He had been taught very obediently by Gu Chan; the little bean clearly still wanted to drink, but he restrained himself and returned the water bottle.

"Thank you, Seeing Seeing Dazai brother, Hearing Hearing Erzai brother," Little Stone said obediently.

Big Stone was shocked to find that his brother was not shy, did not stutter, and would take the initiative to thank them!!

Pfft, if there is food and drink, they are brothers.

How easy to fool.

And.

When did he say he didn't want to drink soda, so angry.

Having such a brainless younger brother is really his blessing.

Big Stone laughed angrily.

Gu Chan told Big Stone the news that Lin Zhao had found the job of pasting matchboxes for them.

The half-grown teenager instantly widened his eyes.

He was very smart and soon calculated how much income those 500 matchboxes would bring to the family.

Ten yuan.

A big unity.

Dad and Mom would have to work hard for a long time to earn it.

Big Stone put away his thorns and thanked Lin Zhao solemnly. "Thank you, Third Aunt."

Lin Zhao smiled. "You're welcome, your mother has worked hard these years."

The teenager, who looked handsome but had rebellious eyes, subconsciously looked at Gu Chan, but saw his mother full of smiles, and her eyes seemed brighter than usual.

He lowered his head slightly and fell into silence; the resentment buried in his heart, or the thought of just wanting to stay away from the Third Uncle's family... all complex emotions gradually returned to calm at this moment.

Because no matter what he thought, his mother was willing, his mother wanted to do something for the Third Uncle who left home young and charged into battle, even if she was tired, she was at ease.

"Thank you, Third Aunt, for the schoolbag you gave me, I like it very much." Big Stone thanked her again.

Lin Zhao saw his change, and the smile on her face deepened. "Have time to bring Little Stone to play at home."

Seeing Seeing Dazai smiled brightly. "Stone Brother, our house is going to build a brick and tile house, by then there will be several rooms, my brother, sister, and I welcome you to go, we'll play together then."

"Right, play together," Hearing Hearing Erzai added.

"Good!" Little Stone had a good impression of Third Aunt and the twins, and responded crisply.

Big Stone nodded.

Lin Zhao and the two cubs didn't stay long, finished explaining the serious business, and the mother and three children left.

Before leaving, the twins left the soda in the water bottle for the Stone brothers.

Hearing Hearing Erzai patted his chest and said generously: "If you want to drink again, come to our house, my mother will buy it for us again, right Mom?"

The cunning child didn't forget to dig a hole for his biological mother.

Lin Zhao was happy to fulfill his harmless little thoughts. "Yes."

Hearing Hearing Erzai smiled until his eyes curved.

The Stone brothers weren't jealous that the twins had lots of soda to drink; being able to taste the soda was enough for them, not to mention that the twins also left them a large bowl.

Several people left the room one after another.

Big Stone, who was walking in the front, saw his eldest aunt touching his uncle's bicycle, touching it like this, pinching it there, and his brow tightened.

"Eldest Aunt!"

Wei Dasao straightened up and smiled awkwardly. "I was just looking, just looking..."

After explaining, she walked quickly to the backyard.

"It's hard for Big Sister," Lin Zhao patted Gu Chan's shoulder and said a truth; if this were her sister-in-law, she would have been torn to tears in a short while!

Thinking of Wei Dasao's behavior in the original book, she lowered her voice and said in her eldest sister-in-law's ear: "Has Big Sister thought about splitting the family?"

Gu Chan looked at the room of the eldest room and said in the same low voice: "How could I not have thought about it, Xiangdong said he would bring it up this winter, he is grinding his mother, and my mother-in-law is almost loosening up."

She could actually understand the mind of a mother-in-law; it was not easy for her to be a daughter-in-law for many years and finally become a mother-in-law, so of course she didn't want to split the family too quickly.

But it wouldn't work if they didn't split.

Lin Zhao's brows and eyes relaxed. "Splitting the family is a good thing."

After exchanging pleasantries for two more sentences, she took the two sons and left.

Gu Chan watched her sister-in-law and nephews leave and turned to go home.

Wei Dasao was waiting in the courtyard, and seeing Gu Chan come in, she affectionately hugged her arm, as if they had a good relationship.

"Second sister-in-law, I saw the third sister-in-law with big bags and small bags, she must have brought you a lot of things, what are they, can you let me, this sister-in-law who hasn't seen the world, take a look?"

Her arm was held by her, and Gu Chan only felt like she was entangled by some cold-blooded animal, pulled back her arm, and smiled lightly: "Nothing..."

The closeness in Wei Dasao's eyes faded, and her expression was reproachful. "Look at how stingy you are, I'm your sister-in-law, not an outsider, what's wrong with letting me take a look."

She took another half step forward, her slightly hot eyes staring closely at Gu Chan.

"Why did I hear something about matchboxes...?" her tone was probing.

Gu Chan's face sank. "Eldest sister-in-law's bad habit is acting up again. Do you itch all over if you don't eavesdrop on my room wall for a day!"

Wei Dasao said unhappily: "How did I eavesdrop on your room wall, didn't I say, I just happened to pass by and heard it by accident!"

"Whether you did it on purpose or not, you know it yourself," Gu Chan was speechless to the extreme.

"A-Chan." A thick and powerful voice sounded, Wei Xiangdong walked over, his cold eyes slanted at Wei Dasao, and when they fell on his own wife, his gaze was dyed with temperature again.

"What's wrong?"

Gu Chan didn't leave face for Wei Dasao and said directly to her husband: "Zhao Zhao brought Seeing Seeing Dazai and Hearing Hearing Erzai to the room, I took them into the room to talk, and Eldest sister-in-law eavesdropped again."

Wei Xiangdong's cold gaze shot at his eldest sister-in-law.

"I, I didn't, I already said, I was passing by, heard it by accident..." Wei Dasao didn't dare provoke her brother-in-law, explained messily, and hurriedly returned to the room, the door slamming shut.

Wei Xiangdong frowned.

Sick.

"Wife, don't be angry, I'll bring up splitting the family in a few days," he said in a slow voice to comfort his wife and took Gu Chan back to the room.

He plugged the door by the way.

The two Stones were locked outside the door again; the brothers were used to it, sighed, and went out of the house one after another to show off their good things!

Inside the room.

Gu Chan felt uncomfortable all over when she thought that even if they split the family, they would still live in the same courtyard as Wei Dasao.

Wei Xiangdong saw her emotions and said: "After splitting the family, we'll move out, just the two of us."

"And Big Stone and Little Stone," Gu Chan reminded, and asked in surprise: "Move where?"

If they really moved out, they would definitely have to build a house.

The family's savings, counting her dowry money and the money her mother stuffed into her box, was only 120 yuan.

She didn't know if it was enough?

"Move to the entrance of the village, I've already talked to the captain, it's a bit broken, but it can be lived in after repairs," Wei Xiangdong had plans in his heart long ago.

"How much money?" Gu Chan asked hurriedly.

Because of Wei Dasao's strange habit of eavesdropping, the couple's voices were subconsciously lowered.

"One hundred yuan," Wei Xiangdong replied.

Gu Chan looked happy. "That's fine, buy it, let's buy it, I want to live in a separate courtyard, it's comfortable."

Wei Xiangdong looked at his wife, his eyes somewhat meaningful. "I want to even more than you."

That eldest sister-in-law of his seriously affected his sexual happiness.

After moving to a separate courtyard, those two cold stones could also roll, roll, roll, roll, roll!

Just thinking about it made people feel refreshed.

Gu Chan felt her husband's expression was strange and wanted to say something, only hearing Wei Xiangdong ask: "What did that third sister-in-law bring the two cubs here for?"

Seeing that his wife's mood was still okay, he guessed it should be a good thing.

Gu Chan pulled him to sit down, patted the cloth bag her sister-in-law brought, full of joy.

"Guess what's in here?"

She was radiant, as if she had been hit by some big pie, and Wei Xiangdong became serious, making various guesses.

"She brought you a piece of old clothing?" The man guessed based on the new schoolbag on Big Stone.

Don't think old clothes aren't valuable; in this era, unless it's someone particularly close... people aren't willing to give them to you.

"No," Gu Chan shook her head.

She took out the snow cream her sister-in-law gave her, her smile gentle. "Look what this is, snow cream, Zhao Zhao gave it to me."

"I didn't want to accept it, but she would get angry." She emphasized.

"You deserve it," Wei Xiangdong said sincerely.

Gu Chan's smile deepened. "Zhao Zhao said so too."

She leaned close to Wei Xiangdong, her voice full of joy. "Xiangdong, I can tell, Zhao Zhao has really settled down, I don't need to worry for Chenghuai anymore, afraid that he would suddenly have no wife one day."

Gu Chenghuai, who was transferring trains and going to the largest state-run store in Haicheng to buy gifts for his wife, felt his nose itch again.

He accelerated his speed and walked to the counter. "Comrade, please take that red and white plaid dress, I want it."

After buying the dress in a hurry, the handsome and steady young officer walked to other counters and continued to purchase.

When he came out of the store again, both hands were occupied.

He didn't delay much and went straight to the train station.

In two more nights, he would be home!!

Speaking of which.

After listening to Gu Chan's worry, Wei Xiangdong only felt it was groundless.

"You think too much," he said.

Gu Chan rolled her eyes at him. "What do you know, the old saying goes, if a person has no long-term worries, there will be near-term worries."

Wei Xiangdong didn't commit.

Right, right, right, everything you say is right.

Gu Chan didn't have the heart to let Stone's father guess again, let him look at the things Lin Zhao brought, her tone light.

"This is what Zhao Zhao brought, materials for making matchboxes, Zhao Zhao taught me how to do it, I received materials that can make 500 in total, two cents for one, after I finish pasting, I can earn ten yuan."

Wei Xiangdong looked surprised.

He hadn't thought that Lin Zhao would think of his wife when there was a good thing.

However.

He recognized this favor.

"I'll catch two rabbits on the mountain tomorrow and send them to her."

Gu Chan hesitated for a moment and said: "Be careful when going up the mountain, don't go to deep places."

Wei Xiangdong thought his wife would stop him, after all, since he was bitten by a snake while hunting in the mountains five years ago, she had strongly opposed him hunting.

Suddenly no longer opposing, the man was really happy!

He learned hunting from hunters in the mountains at the age of ten, which was a way to earn money, and besides his wife, even his family didn't know.

"Really? Then I'll go once every half month?" Dong Ge, who had several younger brothers outside, had to discuss the number of times he went up the mountain with his wife.

"You wouldn't go if I didn't tell you to?" Gu Chan looked at him sideways and reached out. "Hand over the money you earned from hunting in the past two years!"

Wei Xiangdong touched his nose, walked to the corner, moved a board, and took out a clay pot from a mouse hole.

"It's all here."

"I knew you weren't honest." Gu Chan pulled off the lid of the clay pot and poured out the small bills to count.

There were 46.5 yuan.

"So much!" she exclaimed.

Wei Xiangdong explained: "One time I was lucky and hunted a wild boar weighing over a hundred pounds."

Seeing his wife's expression was a bit wrong, he added with a strong desire to survive: "I went into the mountains with Dali, you also know he has great strength, with such a helper, there's no danger."

Hearing that someone was with him, Gu Chan was barely relieved and said: "Half a month is not appropriate, what if you are targeted."

"Then... once a month?"

"I don't care, take Dali, you must go down the mountain before dark," Gu Chan urged, unable to help but nag, "Taking the job of pasting matchboxes, the family can have more income, your safety is the most important."

Wei Xiangdong's brows and eyes danced. "Good!"

When he earned money, he guaranteed his A-Chan would have endless snow cream, by the way, he also had to exchange for some cloth coupons and cotton, and make a cotton-padded jacket for his wife.

Lin Zhao and the two cubs returned to the brigade, and before their butts were hot, they heard Zhao Liuniang say that Gu Xing'er had been caught by the public security.

"What? My little aunt was caught by the public security?!" The Hearing Hearing Erzai widened his eyes, his chin almost falling to the ground in shock, and said repeatedly: "Really? Is this really true?!"

Inside the room, Gu Mother was stimulated by Gu Xing'er's brain-dead behavior to the point of just wanting to lie down quietly, and couldn't help but laugh when she heard the child's voice outside the courtyard that was trying hard to hide her happiness but in vain.

It turns out that when people are helpless to the extreme, they really will laugh unconsciously.

Lin Zhao was full of astonishment, sat down next to Zhao Liuniang, her expression curious. "What happened?"

Gu Xing'er, such a disaster, actually had a day of going in!

In the original book, she, who had no conscience, lived the best, successfully married into the city, and married quite well.

The twins also looked at their second aunt with burning eyes.
