Chapter 25

  Anti-theft label

  However, all these years, although Gu Wanwans body was not good, Hua Zi never mentioned giving Wanwan ginseng to supplement her.

  Its clear that Anans body has been ruined to such an extent that Huazai is willing to sacrifice even his own wife.

  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 with excitement, as if he had just seen his own wife. He carefully scraped the cigarette box several times, making a "tsk" sound, "Wow, this is really something, Qiang Zi, youre being very generous this time."

  Nowadays, a pack of Da Qian Men cigarettes 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 and naturally had some connections. This big front door cost a lot of money for each pack, he himself couldnt bear to smoke it, but carried it on him, which was used to pave the way.

  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 and pale, with a prominent forehead, making his eyes sparkle even more brightly. His eye sockets were misty, with a hint of tears, "Dad, will 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 has always been a disadvantaged character since childhood, this time going to the county town to attend high school, no matter what, he must keep this spot for his older sister.

  As for the little girl, anyway she is one year younger than him. He will go to run errands more often and try his best to earn money for tuition and living expenses so that the little girl can also go to school in the county town 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 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 rationed food, and its only right that he should help support a few 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. Thats why 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 furnace. 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 Zhao Junyan by rationing his own food.

  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, had no one in the village willing to marry him. On the contrary, he was the last one to get married in the old Gu family. Now his son with Zhao Junyan is only ten 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 in a daze and didnt care about anything else. She rushed all the way to the beverage area. As expected, 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 record, and her dads number was at the top. She subconsciously dialed it, 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?" As she scrolled through her contact list, she pressed down again, still with no success.
