Anti-theft label

  At that time, when Tang Lan Zhi gave birth to her second child, Gu Wanwan had a difficult labor and was only able to survive with the help of an old ginseng. However, after all these years, although Gu Wanwans body has not been good, Hua Zi has never mentioned giving Wanwan some old ginseng to supplement her health.

  Its clear that Ahn-ahs body has been ruined to such an extent that Hua-tzu would even sacrifice his own wife for her.

  Gu Weiqiang was quite grateful, rummaged through his pocket and pulled out a pack of Great Front Gate cigarettes, tossing them to Hua Zi.

  Hua Zis hands cupped together, his eyes shining like he had just seen his own wife. He carefully scraped the cigarette box several times, making a "tsk" sound, "Good boy, this is indeed a big deal, Qiang Zi, youre really generous this time."

  Nowadays, a pack of Da Qian Men costs more than two catties of meat, and whats more, you cant even find a place selling Da Qian Men in this town. You have to go to the county seat or an even bigger city to see such rare cigarettes.

  Gu Weiqiang ran long distances outside, so he naturally had some connections. This big front door was expensive, and even he himself didnt dare to smoke it often. He only carried it on him in order to use it as a bribe when necessary.

  He smiled wryly and saw Huazi out.

  Zhou Aiju also went to the kitchen.

  Inside the house, only Gu Weiqiang and Gu Dongdong were left. Xiaodouding, who was eight years old this year, lay on the edge of the kang, thin, with a big forehead, making his eyes shine brighter, misty in his eye sockets, with a sobbing tone, "Dad, will my sister wake up?"

  Gu Wei Qiang patted his pocket, wanting to light a cigarette, but thinking about it in front of the child, he restrained himself. He reached out and gently touched his sons forehead, firmly saying, "Hmm, An An will wake up soon, you watch over him for a bit, Dad is going out for a trip." An An had always been a pushover since childhood, this time going to the county town to attend high school, no matter what, he had to hold onto this spot for his older sister.

  As for the younger sister, being one year younger, he would make more trips to transport goods and strive to earn enough tuition and living expenses so that his younger sister could also go to the county town to study next year.

  After all, its still useless for him to be a father.

  This statement is somewhat self-deprecating on Gu Weiqiangs part. He drives long-distance trucks for a transportation team, earning a monthly salary of 37.5 yuan, 30 yuan of which he gives to Zhou Aijuan for public use, and the rest of the money he earns from other channels is also mostly used to support his family.

  After all, in the whole Gu family, he is the only one who eats supplied grain, and its only right to help support a few more brothers.

  But thinking about it, the money he earns, let alone Anan and Wann going to high school, even Dongdong is now in high school, can also be supported...

  The family didnt split up, and the money he earned was all handed over. This time, there were two who could go to the county town to attend high school, one from the second house and one from the fourth house. You know, in these times, being able to afford for children to attend high school is really tightening their belts. And thats not all, there are still several younger ones in the Gu family attending elementary school, which is a huge expense.

  Actually, the Gu familys conditions are not bad, they are among the best in the whole Gu Village. However, it was only two years ago that the Gu family built a red-brick and tile-roofed house with glass windows, which is really luxurious. But the price of this luxury is spending a lot of money. Zhou Aijuan spent all the savings she had accumulated over the years, leaving nothing behind. This is why they are now struggling to make ends meet, and on top of that, they have to fight for a spot in school.

  Anan fell asleep, unaware that Gu Weiqiang had gone to find Tang Lanxi alone and warned her not to have any ideas about snatching the quota.

  And Wang Da Ying, the second daughter-in-law of the kitchen, held an oily pot brush and wiped it around the big pot. She stretched her neck to look outside the kitchen, saw no one, and then spoke up, "Sister-in-law, how many eggs did fourth brother take?"

  In front of the stove, Zhao Junyan didnt even lift his head, just kept shoving wheat straw into the stove. On a cold winter day, using wheat straw to fuel the fire was quite accurate. He replied faintly, "I dont know."

  Wang Da Ying raised an eyebrow and curled her lip, "You little girl, its just a fever, no need to call in some quack doctor, wasting several eggs."

  Zhao Junyan lowered his head and focused on the work in his hands, not responding to Wang Da Ying, as if he hadnt heard him.

  Its worth mentioning that Zhao Junyan has a good name, but her family background is not good. Her ancestors were big landlords and during the early years of criticism and struggle, she was expelled by her family and cut off from them. She escaped from Henan to Gujia Village, where she almost starved to death. It was Gu Jias eldest son, Gu Weiguo, who saved her life by sharing his own food with her.

  Zhao Junyan woke up and didnt despise him. Gu Weiguo was a cripple, so she married Gu Weiguo and settled in Gujia Village.

  It turns out that Gu Weiguo, being a cripple, was not willing to marry anyone in the village, and instead became the last one to get married in the old Gu family. Now his son with Zhao Junyan is only 10 years old, two years older than Gu Dongdong.

  The kitchen was bustling with activity, but Anan had no idea, she lay in bed, her mouth watering nonstop, she dreamed of the supermarket before she came here, standing in front of the braised meat counter, drooling.

  That braised chicken leg is really delicious!

  She subconsciously reached out to touch her flat belly, then touched the empty pockets, pouted, unfortunately she had no money.

  She remembered herself wearing 70s clothes, from originally being a young wealthy woman to becoming a poor and white-collar worker, Gu An An.

  The more she thought about it, the more unbearable it became. She squatted in front of the braised meat stall, smelling the familiar scent of roasted meat, and burst into tears as she hugged her head. She missed her dad and mom, she wanted to go home, she didnt want to stay here at all.

  Gu Dongdong, who had fallen asleep on the kang, did not know that his sister, who was lying in bed, had suddenly disappeared.

  At this time, Gu Anan also felt that something was wrong. This smell was too familiar. She squatted on the ground, which was also icy and had a real tactile sensation.

  Really?

  Is this supermarket real?

  Came with her to this era.

  To say, Gu Anan was also unlucky. She was just strolling through a supermarket and happened to be in the beverage section when the shelf collapsed on her. The originally pampered Gu Anan of the 21st century became a small white radish soaked in bitter water from the 1970s.

  Gu Anan suddenly stood up, perhaps the dizziness hadnt passed yet, she was dizzy all over, and didnt care about anything else. She rushed all the way to the beverage area, and indeed, where she had fallen, a pile of beverages had rolled everywhere, and her small bag was still pressed under the drinks.

  Gu Anan used all her might and finally pulled out the small package.

  She took out her phone, which still had three bars of battery. She pressed the recent call log, and her dads number was at the top. Unconsciously, she dialed it again, but it only rang three times before automatically hanging up.

  Anan gritted her teeth and dialed the second number, which was her mothers, but the result was the same - she couldnt get through. She muttered to herself, "How is this possible?", flipped through her phonebook, and pressed down again, still with no success.

  This phone can no longer dial any numbers.

  And she Gu Anan, thoroughly cant go back.

  Thinking of this, Gu Ans heart was in pain, if she wasnt around anymore, what would her dad and mom do?!

  She suppressed the sourness in her nose, opened her mobile phone album, and the first photo was a family portrait of her father, mother and herself.

  In the photo, Gu Anan is wearing a graduation gown, with her hair tied up in high ponytail, standing between her parents, smiling brightly.

  Gu Ans eyes were misty, staring at the photo intently. As she looked, tears fell like broken pearls, pattering down.

  "Dad and Mom, I miss you so much." She subconsciously stroked the photo with her hand, holding her phone, and burst into loud sobs.

  Cried enough, quietly staring at the supermarkets glass window, dazed and distracted, "cant go back"

  She put her phone into her bag and carefully placed it in the most conspicuous place.

  An An then walked to the pharmacy section, picked up a box of cold medicine, took out two tablets and swallowed them with mineral water. After thinking for a moment, she went to the food section and drank half a bowl of freshly cooked corn porridge.

  Facing himself in the mirror to boost his confidence, it would have been better if he hadnt looked in the mirror, but as soon as he did, An was startled.

  This dark and thin, yellow-haired little girl is actually her?

  How is this possible?

  She was a lovely girl back then, at least a little beauty!

  Whats with this body?

  Does the package contain black charcoal?

  Anan has tanned so much that her skin tone is almost indistinguishable from a black persons now.

  Whats wrong with you!

  Then there was a loud cry outside, "Sister, where are you going?"

  Gu Dongdong, this little bean, woke up from a nap and subconsciously touched his own sisters forehead. Who would have thought that he actually touched nothing? His drowsiness instantly disappeared, and the little bean cried out and ran out of the western room to find an adult to take a look.

  Scared, Gu Anan quickly left the supermarket and dove into her bed, yawning as the medicine took effect, and fell back asleep.

  Xiao Dou Ding was holding onto her dad with one hand and grandma with the other as they entered the house. As soon as she saw the person lying on the bed, her tears stopped immediately, and she stared blankly, "Sister... sister is back."

  The adults couldnt help but laugh and cry at the same time, thinking that this child had hallucinations.

  Zhou Aiju put the Astragalus membranaceus she got from Hua Zi into a pot and simmered it, after simmering for a while, she fed a bowl to An An. She asked Gu Dongdong to watch over An An in the house. As the weather was getting colder, every household started preparing goods for the New Year, some were busy.

  Gu Dongdongs head nodded like a garlic press, his eyes wide open and staring at his sister on the bed without blinking, as if he was afraid that in the next second, his sister would disappear again.

  Gu An was sleeping dazedly, the rustling sound beside her ear made her head ache. She forced herself to open her eyes and found that her cheap mom and cheap sister were rummaging through her room, their expressions clearly not right.

  She shifted her arm and grunted.

  The two people searching indoors suddenly froze in place.

  Tang Lanji looked worried, this big girl, why didnt she wake up early or late, but woke up at this time.

  Gu Wanwans expression didnt change, she raised her hand and patted Tang Lanzhis arm, "Mom, you continue to clean up, Ill go take a look at my sister."

  As she spoke, she stuffed some tickets into Tang Lan Zhis cloth bag on the side, and then walked in front of Gu An An, smiling innocently, "Sister, youre awake! Are you feeling better?" Although her mouth was full of concerned words, there were no actual actions, not even offering a glass of water to the patient or helping Gu An An get out of bed.

  Gu Anan didnt expect her younger sister to help her up, so she leaned against the headboard, propped herself up with her arm, and sat up. "What are you doing? Packing things to go where?" She really couldnt bring herself to call out for her mom.

  Tang Lan Zhi also stopped collecting, tied the mouth of the bag and held it in her hand. "Mom, Im going to take your sister to grandmas house for New Year."

  As for Feng Xian, he took the book and read it with great interest. If Gu Wei didnt see it wrongly, this book was something he had picked up while running long distances. Unexpectedly, Doctor Feng wasnt disdainful of it and took a liking to it.

  "Old Master Lang, Old Feng, come on, have a drink and warm up." Gu Wei strongly made himself at home, taking off his shoes and sitting down on the heated kang with his legs crossed. Only after he sat down did he realize that the kang was not burning well and was only lukewarm. He continued, "Whats going on, is there not enough firewood?"

  Old Feng put down the book on the kang, raised his eyelids and said, "Enough, your eldest daughter sent us a bundle of firewood last month. Be frugal and use it sparingly, it can be used until after the New Year." It was mentioned that Gu Anan would send firewood to these people, and she had no relation with Gu Wei Qiang. Gu Anan started going up the mountain to chop firewood when she was over ten years old. Once, she fell from the mountain and injured her ankle. It was Feng Xian who helped set her bone. Gu Anan was also grateful for this kindness. Every time she went up the mountain to chop firewood for her family, she would bring a bundle to their place, which was enough for three big men to use for a long time.

  There are three big men living here, Lang Yongling has been rich and noble for a lifetime, let alone cooking, he hasnt even lit a fire, Feng Xian is almost the same, he has spent his whole life studying medicine, only distinguishing between grains.

  Feng Qingyan, with a doll-like face, surprisingly knew how to chop firewood. As the pampered young master of the past decade or so, he came to the countryside and worked hard to learn it. However, if he really did the work, he was not as fast as An An. Although An An didnt like to talk, she had a quick temper. Every time she took Feng Qingyan to chop firewood, watching him do it slowly made her anxious.

  Might as well just hit it all at once and let Feng Qingyan carry it back himself.

  Hearing that his own daughter was mentioned by these people, Gu Weiqiang felt uncomfortable and asked, "My daughter chops firewood for you? Why havent I heard you mention it before?"

  Lang Yongling took over, "How dare you say that? If I said it and then didnt get to chop firewood, what would happen? Were relying on Anan!", He heard the joke in his words very clearly, but still felt unhappy. His daughter, Gu Weis wife, he hadnt even let her serve him a bowl of rice, how did she become a partner for chopping firewood here? He waved his hand, "From now on, go to the mountain yourself to chop firewood, dont make my daughter do it."

  Feng Xian poured the peanuts into a coarse ceramic plate, filling it to the brim. He picked one up and tossed it into his mouth. "So now youre feeling heartache? You didnt seem to care before, letting people treat you differently. Now that your precious daughter has run off with her mother-in-law, only this stubborn foolish girl is left."

  Gu Weimin smiled wryly, knowing that Feng Xian was a bit too venomous with his words. "Alright, lets not mention past matters. From now on, dont order my daughter around like this."

  Changing the subject, he poured a cup of Erguotou for Old Master Lang and also one for Feng Xian. "For helping me out last time, Id like to thank you here." He said, clinking his cup against Feng Qingyangs. "And Qingyang, if theres anything in the future, just let your brother know, Ill definitely help if I can."

  Feng Qingyan had a doll-like face, looking exceptionally lovely. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Then I wont be polite, I mentioned that scalpel before, Brother Gu, when you have time, help me gather it."

  Gu Wei Qiang stood up, picked up the quilted jacket that was placed on the kang, and from the interlayer of the jacket, he pulled out a piece of cowhide about 20 cm long and 10 cm wide. On it were many small pockets, each containing a shiny surgical knife.

  The cowhide was spread out, with twelve surgical knives neatly arranged on it. Seeing this, even Feng Xian, who was only drinking wine beside him, was stunned.

  He sprang up from the kang with a start.

  Hugging the cowhide cloth in her arms, she laughed and cried at the same time, a bit silly.

  As for Feng Qingyan beside him, he suppressed his excitement and jumped off the kang, facing Gu Weisheng with a respectful bow of three bows. "Thank you, Brother Gu." The two words "thank you" were too light, not enough to express their intentions. This surgical knife was what his father Feng Xian used to eat with back then, relying on this set of tools to save many people. Only during the house search did this tool get lost. Who would have thought that after so many years, it could still be seen? To Father Feng Xian, this tool was an old partner.

  The two men suddenly did this, Gu Wei felt a bit uncomfortable, and he also stood up. "Dont do that, Old Feng has helped me a lot, Qingyan you are also considered my half-nephew, this big gift is not acceptable." Moreover, back then when he was racing cars, he injured his arm, and it was thanks to Feng Xians treatment that he didnt end up with a useless arm. Otherwise, how could he have become the captain of the transport team?

  He didnt know what this scalpel meant to Old Feng and his son, but judging from their expressions now, he knew.

  He opened his mouth honestly, "This thing really didnt waste any effort. I asked the people at the provincial city garbage recycling station to help pay attention. The boss left me several sets, and I just happened to like this set, so I brought it over." Its really a blind cat hitting a dead mouse, and he hit the jackpot.

  Feng Xian carefully put away the set of tools, "Younger brother, great kindness doesnt need to be thanked, Ill take care of it thoroughly." He held up his wine cup and downed it in one gulp.

  Gu Weiqiang scratched his head, feeling embarrassed, "What a coincidence, what a coincidence." As for Gu Weiqiang himself, he was also weird. He was shrewd on the outside, but once he encountered his own family members or familiar people, he would easily become foolish. However, he had a good heart after all.

  Lang Yongling saw Feng Xian found his old partner from those years, and felt a little envious. "I dont know when my own old partner will be found." Everything that came out of Langs house was valuable, and had long been divided up.

  Unlike Feng Xians scalpel, no one wants it and taking it back to chop vegetables is considered unlucky.

  Gu Weiqiang thought for a moment, and was certain that "there will be such a day." He felt most alive when he was racing cars outside. From the reinstatement of college entrance exams to his trading days, he no longer wanted to be as strict with himself as before.

  Old Master Lang, "Lend me your auspicious words."

  Gu Weiqiang came out of the thatched cottage, preparing to go home for a while. He walked halfway and turned back, with Anan watching at home, he felt relieved and directly stepped on the knee-deep snowy road, one foot deep and one foot shallow, heading towards the transportation team. He estimated that the stranded car had been repaired, taking advantage of the remaining twenty days before the Spring Festival to make a trip, earn some money, and have a good New Years celebration. Next year, Anan would go to the county town to attend high school, so he needed to prepare more money for emergencies.

  In the house, Gu Dongdong waited for Gu Weiqiangs return from dawn till dusk, but he didnt come back.

  "Dad, why havent you come back yet."

  Gu Anan couldnt coax this little bean into calming down, so she thought for a moment and then went to lock the door of the west wing from the inside.

  With a flick of his hand, a delicious roasted chicken thigh appeared.

  Xiao Douding immediately rolled over from the kang, his bright eyes staring at the chicken leg, constantly swallowing saliva, "Sister, chicken leg?"

  Gu An nodded and handed the chicken leg in front of Xiao Douding, "Eat."

  Xiao Dou Dings eyes were full of longing, but his hands didnt slow down, shoving the chicken leg into Gu An Ans mouth. "Sister, take a bite first."

  Gu Anan felt a pang of sadness, the little kid in front of her obviously wanted to eat but was holding back and letting his sister go first. Under the childs eager gaze, she took a big bite on purpose and said, "Its really delicious!"

  Gu Dongdong pouted, rushed up and said "Ill try a bite." As he spoke, he also took a big bite, the meat stuffed his mouth so full that it bulged out. While eating, he said "Sister, Ive never had such delicious chicken legs before."

  Gu Anan rubbed Gu Dongdongs forehead and laughed happily, "From now on, when I make money, Ill let you eat chicken legs every day."

  "Eating chicken legs every day? Thats a great life!" The childs words, though innocent and unbridled, made Gu Anan feel even more uncomfortable. In the afternoon, when no one was paying attention, she secretly ate a hamburger.

  Gu Anan secretly decided that from now on, whenever she ate something, she would definitely give a share to Xiao Douding.

  She made a tight face, with a small curly hair tied up neatly, "Dong Dong, our sneaky eating, no one is allowed to say, otherwise the old immortal will not give sister food, and there will be nothing to eat later."

  Seeing her sister so serious, Gu Dongdong also forgot what he was chewing on. He opened his mouth wide and nodded heavily, "No one will say anything."

  It wasnt until later that I reacted, "Wheres Dad? Wheres Grandma?"

  Gu Anan thought for a moment, "Dont mention it." Its okay to consider it from Dads side, but Grandmas side cant be mentioned now, because Grandma is not only the grandma of her and Dongdong, but also the grandma of all the children in these four families.

  "I wont say."

  The next morning, Gu Anan was woken up by a scream.

  The originally tightly closed door of the western room was knocked open, and Wang Da Ying stood in front of the kang with a pot brush in her hand, her face ferocious, shouting and scolding, "Dead girl, its almost noon, still sleeping, like a pig, no lunch is made, you dont even take care of the firewood!!!"

  Anan was awakened by a chill, with some snowflakes still on her neck. She shivered involuntarily before looking for the source of the sound.

  Wang Da Ying looked at An An sleeping warmly on the kang, while she herself was in the kitchen burning fire and washing pots, really couldnt help but feel angry.

  I thought the old lady would take her to the city to deliver vegetables to San Shus house today, but unexpectedly, when it was time to leave, she actually called out Zhao Junyans name and went to the county town.

  She was left at home.

  Not only that, but also serving this group of ancestors, its really a blood curse for eight lifetimes.

  These words were indeed not giving Gu Wei Qiang a bit of face

  Its just a matter of saying it outright, Eldest Fourth Brother isnt capable, and cant keep his daughter-in-law.

  Gu Wei Qiang held back a sigh, his face still forcing a smile. "Mom, dont worry about this matter, Lan Zhi wanting to leave, Ive known for a long time. Theres something that Second Brother said that is indeed correct - since the feet belong to someone else, if she wants to leave, who can stop her? Even if we could stop her temporarily, we couldnt stop her forever. Moreover, this proves that it was me and Second Brother who colluded, letting him take the blame, it has nothing to do with Second Brother." The discord between brothers should be resolved by themselves, they cannot let their elderly parents get sick from worrying.

  Even if her little son said so, Zhou Aijuan still felt uncomfortable in her heart.

  She pulled her little sons ear, almost shouting, "Your wife has left, gone to the big city, can she still come back? What if the child loses his mother?", several educated youths in the village had left, but not one of them came back.

  Gu Wei Qiang smiled bitterly, his words firm. "Since Lan Zhi has left, you should act as if she never existed. From now on, I will be both father and mother to the children. As for Wan Wan, I will treat her as if she were not my daughter." Wan Wan had grown up following Lan Zhi since childhood, and her temperament was most similar to hers. She loved to take charge and be strong-willed. In this rural area, it was only a matter of time before she would leave too.

  Upon hearing this, Zhou Aiju became annoyed and kicked her youngest son on the buttocks, "Get out! Dont come crying in front of me again. Its hard to be both mom and dad."

  Its a pity for his own son, lost his wife, and he himself is still nagging like a mother. At worst, he will just spoil the two younger ones from the fourth room more in the future.

  Gu Wei Qiang smiled and pinched his own mothers shoulders.

  Just out of the door.

  The eldest, Gu Weiguo, was a man of few words but got things done. He patted Gu Weiqiangs shoulder and headed out the door to check on the snowfall in the fields. The farmers were counting on this snow to ensure next years harvest. Along the way, he would stop by the river to break up the ice on its surface. His wife had just gotten her period and needed some nourishment, and his fourth brothers eldest daughter was recovering from an illness and also needed some extra care. He planned to catch a couple of fish to improve their meals. Gu Weiguo didnt like to talk much but got things done, and he didnt let the heavy snow outside stop him. He grabbed his bamboo hat, put it on, and headed out the door.

  Lao Er Gu Weifu stood at the door and didnt leave, he knew that Lao Si would come to ask him.

  As soon as they went out, Gu Weiqiangs smiling face disappeared, and his face showed a few points of displeasure. The two brothers went to the self-cultivated land outside the yard. Outside, it was a vast expanse of white, with heavy snowfall. But Gu Weiqiang didnt feel the cold, instead, he had a surge of anger rushing to his head. He got straight to the point, "What benefits did Lan Zhi give to your second brother that made you so anxious to open up the proof?"

  If it werent for the fact that his car broke down on the road today, he wouldnt have been able to rush back so coincidentally. You know, a trip like this usually takes at least a week.

  He left yesterday, but after his car broke down, he simply headed back.

  But didnt expect to run into Lan Zhi on the way.

  Anan fell with a thud and got her face covered in dirt, Dongdong cried until his heart was torn apart. He remembered all of these things clearly.

  Or rather, what kind of person is Er Ge, others may not know, but Gu Wei Qiang should be clear.

  Gu Weifu patted his pocket, pulled out a half-smoked cigarette from inside, carefully lit it up, took a big drag, and blew out smoke rings. It wasnt until he finished blowing out the smoke rings that he slowly said, "Fourth brother still understands my temperament."

  "The conditions that my fourth brother and sister-in-law offered were indeed very tempting, promising that no matter whether our eldest son was admitted to university or not, they would get him a job at the steel plant in the provincial city." He paused for a moment, his expression somewhat agitated, even a little frantic. "Fourth Brother, do you know what it means to work at the steel plant in the provincial city? Its having access to rationed grain, its a height that I, Gu Weifu, could never reach in my lifetime."

  Gu Weifu was twenty-seven years old when he became the team leader of Gujia Village, and over the past decade or so, this position has made him somewhat arrogant, or rather, it has given him a clearer understanding that people are different, and he has a more accurate concept of being a superior person. He cannot do things himself, but hopes to achieve them through his son, who works at the steel mill in the provincial capital, which is the highest honor for Gu Weifu.

  Upon hearing the result, Gu Wei Qiang sneered coldly, "Second Brother, it seems youve forgotten that Im still paying for Gu Shus high school tuition. If I were to cut off his tuition, what would he use to get a job at the provincial steel factory?", A casual promise had put his own younger brother aside, and also made him once again clearly realize what fraternal feelings are.

  "Moreover, do you think Lan Zhi would neglect her own son or daughter to care for a nephew from another room?"

  Gu Wei Qiang had never had such a clear understanding of his second brothers temperament, it was truly... beyond salvation.

  She, Tang Lan Zhi, would even abandon her own son and daughter, yet shes taking care of a distant relative from another branch of the family. This is simply absurd.

  Gu Weifus body stiffened for a moment, he shook his head, "It wont happen, after all, brother and sister have written a letter of commitment."

  "Do you believe it too?" Gu Wei Qiang left the self-cultivation land with a strong head, and his familys precious daughter and son were also unknown to be hiding in a corner crying.

  Inside the room, Gu An lay on the bed, with her little brother helping to press down on her back. She had fallen several times in the muddy ground before and felt that she had sprained her waist, which was aching a bit. Although the elderly always said that children dont have waists, hers was indeed uncomfortable.

  The little Douding who was originally crying, seeing that his own sister needed him, immediately sucked up his snot and took off his shoes to climb onto Gu Anans back. Anan did this because in her impression.

  Gu Weiqiang always drove a cargo truck, driving long distances, and sitting for too long made him stiff. Every time he came back, he would say that his waist was uncomfortable and ask Gu Dongdong to help him by stepping on it with her feet to loosen up his muscles.

  Is there any use in asking An An, she only knows that every time Dongdong goes to trample, old fathers expression is always very satisfied.

  But when it was her turn, she gritted her teeth and complained, "Dongdong, be gentle, youre going to break my waist!"

  She said so, Gu Dongdong was even more energetic, and he laughed with a "heh heh" sound.

  Gu Wei Qiang stood outside the door and heard the sister and brother inside, giggling away. He shook his head, "Really heartless." Originally, he thought that with their mom suddenly gone, these two kids would probably be hiding in some corner crying, but who would have thought itd be like this?

  He pushed open the door and entered. The little boy who was laughing just now suddenly stopped, Xiao Douding looked at Gu Weiqiang and pouted, "Dad".

  Gu Weiqiang responded with a grunt, quickened his pace, and jogged to the side of the bed. He picked up his little son, held him up, and rubbed his whiskers against the childs tender face, intentionally saying "Dong Dong, does it tickle?"

  Xiao Douding nodded slightly.

  "You still want to cry?"

  Xiao Dou Ding shook his head.

  "Alright then." Gu Wei Qiang hugged Xiao Dou Ding and started playing peek-a-boo with him. Childrens emotions come and go quickly, and soon Xiao Dou Ding was giggling again.

  After playing enough, Gu Wei Qiang finally put Xiao Dou Ding down on the kang from his shoulders, and touched Xiao Dou Dings round head, "From now on, Dad will be your mom, okay?", his tone was very casual, just like asking what the weather is like today.

  An An stunned Gu An for a moment.

  Gu Dongdong tilted his head, looked at his dad, then looked at his sister, and responded in a crisp tone, "Then Dad cant be biased, he has to treat my sister well, or Ill get angry." An eight-year-old kid knew how to protect his sister, letting her go first in everything.

  It was not in vain for An An to have been worried about Gu An Ans safety, she had a scare.

  To be honest, Gu Anan couldnt agree with her past selfs approach. In fact, Gu Anans skin wasnt originally dark, it was just that she had been working hard for many years. Logically speaking, with so many people in the Gu family, there were plenty of hands to go around, and it shouldnt have fallen to a teenager like Gu Anan to do all the work. But Gu Anan was stubborn and insisted that someone had to do the chores for the four rooms of the Gu household.

  Tang Lan Zhi has never set foot on the ground since she married Gu Wei Qiang. Gu Wan Wans body is not good, let alone, Gu Wei Qiang often runs cars outside for many years, and there are very few opportunities to settle down at home.

  The vegetable garden outside, the firewood shed at home, and the water in the water tank were all taken care of by Gu Anan alone.

  Zhou Aijuan felt heartache every time, not letting Gu Anan do it, but this child wouldnt listen and rushed to do it. In her mind, she always wanted to lighten the burden on her family a bit.

  As for food, its even more impossible to find good food these days. Being able to eat ones fill is already a blessing. The living conditions of Gus family are considered the best in the village, but even so, they can barely afford to have enough rice to eat.

  Tang Lan Zhi would cook small meals for Gu Wan Wan, and occasionally Gu Dong Dong could get some too. As for Gu An An, forget about it.

  Its fortunate that this girl has a big heart, not only that, every time Zhou Aijuan secretly saved eggs and pancakes for Gu Anan, they were all kept by Gu Anan and privately taken to be shared equally between Gu Wanwan and Gu Dongdong, as for herself, it was enough to just lick her fingers.

  Gu Weiqiang felt guilty in his heart, especially towards his eldest daughter. In his eyes, the three children were all equal, but unbeknownst to him, his eldest daughter was still at a disadvantage.

  He held his youngest son in one arm and stroked the back of his eldest daughters head with the other, "An An, dont be so foolish from now on, Dad is here to support you."

  Gu Anan nodded, with a thick nasal tone, "Mmm, I know, Dad, Dongdong, Grandma, the whole family." This was indeed Gu Anans inner monologue, as currently, she could only identify with these few people in this household.

  As for later, Ill take a look.

  After comforting his own childs emotions, Gu Weiqiang went out and headed to Gu Ermazis house. They had just finished a banquet at their home, and he also wanted to take back the tables and chairs borrowed from them...

  Gu Wanwan bit her lip and nodded, "Wheres mom, Im there."

  Gu Wei Qiang waved his hand and pulled Gu An An back, walking away without looking back.

  Duan Liu Tang Lan Zhi stood dazedly in the snowy ground, unaware of what she was thinking.

  Gu Wei Qiang had just taken a few steps when an eight-year-old Gu Dong Dong came running from in front of him, and with one glance, he saw Tang Lan Zhi standing at the village entrance with her large bags. He immediately threw himself at her legs, crying his heart out, "Mommy, mommy, dont go..." Eight-year-old Gu Dong Dong knew that Tang Lan Zhi was biased, but after all, she was his mother.
