Chapter 23

  Anti-theft label

  Its clear that Anans body has been ruined to the point where Huazi is willing to give up even his wife. Gu Wei Qiang was quite grateful and rummaged through his pockets, pulling out a pack of Great Front Gate cigarettes and tossing them to Huazi.

  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 is more expensive than two catties of meat. Moreover, in this town, its hard to find a place that sells Da Qian Men. You have to go to the county seat or even bigger cities to see this rare cigarette.

  Gu Weiqiang ran long distances outside and naturally had some connections. This big front door was expensive, he himself didnt even want to smoke it, but carried it on him to use as a bribe.

  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, and misty eyes with a crying 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 little girl, anyway she is one year younger than him. He will go to run more errands and strive to earn tuition fees and living expenses, so that the little girl can also go to the county town to study next year.

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

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

  After all, in the entire Gu family, he is the only one who eats supplied grain, and its only right that he should help support several of his 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 under Gus family, there are still several younger ones 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 of so many years, leaving nothing behind. This led to the current situation where they have to rush to get 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.

  The second daughter-in-law of the kitchen, Wang Da Ying, 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 stuffing wheat straw into the stove. In the cold winter, using wheat straw to fuel the fire was a precise job. 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 Gus 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.
