This is a anti-theft chapter. Zhou Aijuan's eyes were scrutinizing, after all, she had been teaching for a lifetime, with ink in her belly and more thoughts.
Tang Lan Zhi wanted to speak up for her younger daughter, but was pulled back by her own husband. Seeing that Gu Wei Qiang's face didn't look good, she decided to drop the matter after all.
"Sister, I didn't."
The little bean beside him rolled his eyes and said, "You're just like that. I heard you talking to mom, wanting to take over big sister's spot."
Gu Wanwan's face turned even paler, as if she was the one who had been kneeling outside for several hours, not Gu Anan.
"Xian Xian, if you're here to ask me for this quota, I'll even kowtow to Dad and Grandma, and give it up to you."
Gu Weiqiang and Zhou Aijuan looked at Gu Anan with obvious disapproval, but the heartache in their eyes was unhidden.
Gu Wanwan plopped down onto the wooden chair, as if all her energy had been drained away. Her eyes welled up with tears, and she forced a smile, "Sister's grades are good, it should be Sister who goes to the county town to attend high school."
With Gu Wanwan's words, today's farce can be considered over.
As for the quota to go to the city to attend high school, it fell on Gu An'an. She let out a light breath, and this hurdle was considered passed.
She saw Gu Wanwan's face getting whiter and whiter, and her heart skipped a beat.
This won't do, I'm going to pass out!
In the second before Gu Wanwan fainted, Gu Anan instead fell to the ground. The little boy Douding next to her was too young and couldn't hold her up, so he shouted, "Dad, come quick, my sister has fainted!" Gu Dongdong and Gu Anan were quite close, usually calling each other directly without any titles, unless Gu Wanwan was around, in which case they would call her "older sister" to distinguish. In the heat of the moment, Douding naturally shouted "sister".
Gu Wei Qiang took a step forward and carried Gu An An into the warm kang in the west room.
On the side, Gu Wanwan, who was about to faint, looked at this scene and was so angry that a mouthful of blood was stuck in her throat, it was really unbearable.
Dizzy, it has always been her strong point. That wooden big sister, how did she suddenly become so clever? Is it an illusion?
Tang Lan Zhi shouted several times before Gu Wan Wan came back to her senses. She leaned against Tang Lan Zhi's shoulder and said in a sad tone, "Mom, does sister not like me anymore?"
The little girl frowned, her eyes slightly red, and Tang Lan Zhi's heart was about to break. She turned around and glared at the west room, "How dare she? If it weren't for Eldest Brother, your body wouldn't be so weak? This is what Eldest Brother owes you."
Tang Lan Zhi had three children, the eldest being Gu An An, the second Gu Wan Wan, and the third Gu Dong Dong. In her early years, Gu An An was the first daughter of the old Gu family, and the old lady doted on her so much that she took An An to live with her. Later, when Tang Lan Zhi had Gu Wan Wan, because of Gu An An's reason, Gu Wan Wan became a premature baby, which made Tang Lan Zhi even more reluctant to take care of Gu An An.
As for the newly born Gu Wan Wan, Tang Lan Zhi personally took care of her and doted on her. For many years, there was no movement in her belly, and she was often ridiculed by her sisters-in-law for not being able to give birth to a boy. Tang Lan Zhi was anxious, but in the year when Gu Wan Wan was seven years old, Tang Lan Zhi's belly moved again, and she gave birth to a boy, Gu Dong Dong, the fourth son of the family.
But!
She was alone, teaching at school and taking care of a sickly child, so she didn't have time to take care of the younger one. After Gu Dongdong weaned, she handed him over to Zhou Aijuan again to take care of.
It's said that children grow up with whoever they're close to, and Gu An'an and Gu Dongdong both grew up by Zhou Aijuan's side, so naturally they're close to the old lady.
Gu Wanwan received a response from her mother, and she was secretly delighted, but her face remained expressionless. "Mom, I also want to go to the county town to study." It can be said that the entire Old Gu family's heart is focused on Gu Wanwan.
She knew from a young age that her body was not good, how to pamper herself in order to live better.
Going to the county town to study is just the first step out of this rural area.
Tang Lanqi furrowed her brow, "Don't worry, mom will grant your wish." She just needed to think carefully about how to do it.
Having received a satisfactory reply, Gu Wanwan's mood suddenly cleared up.
As for Gu Anan, who was carried into the western wing's kang, she had originally planned to pretend to be unconscious. Who would have thought that as soon as her body tilted, she really fainted? After all, this body of hers wasn't strong enough, and after being outside in the freezing cold for several hours, it would be strange if she didn't get sick.
Gu Wei Qiang put Gu An An on the bed, and Xiao Dou Ding automatically pulled the quilt over to cover Gu An An's body.
Accidentally bumped into Gu Anan's forehead, Xiao Dou Ding exclaimed, "Dad, sister's body is so hot!"
In the winter, he wore thick clothes, and Gu Wei Qiang was a big man, really didn't notice, after being reminded by his young son at home, touched his big daughter's head, it was hot like charcoal, heart-burning panic.
He was so anxious that he became flustered. To say, An'an was a child who could withstand hardships and rarely got sick, but this time she had fallen ill, which frightened Gu Weiqiang. He was worried and at a loss for what to do, so he slapped his thigh and wanted to rush to the barefoot doctor's house with An'an in his arms.
Just as she was halfway through hugging, Zhou Aijuan came in and slapped her hand down, "Put it down." She still held a steaming ceramic basin in her hand, filled with hot water, apparently for Anan's use.
"This child had caught a chill earlier, and you're taking her out to play in the snow, isn't that going to take her life?!", she said as she took off the keys from her waist and handed them to Gu Weiqiang, "Go get six eggs from the kitchen cabinet, for good luck, and have Huazai bring them over, let him come visit our home and see An'an." Gu Huazi was a barefoot doctor in Gujia Village, and he and Gu Weiqiang were considered brothers who grew up together since childhood. Gu Weiqiang was clever and hardworking, so he went to learn the skill of driving.
Gu Huazi was locked at home by his own old man, and he picked up his old profession again, becoming a barefoot doctor in the village, which is considered a skillful job, not to starve.
"Ah, mom, you really are my real mom." Gu Wei Qiang suddenly came back to his senses and had an idea. He immediately regained his usual arrogant attitude in front of his old mother. Although the Gu family's conditions were not bad, they couldn't afford it with so many people, adding up to over 20 mouths to feed, and without dividing the family property. These six eggs would be enough to invite Dr. Hua over as a decent consultation fee.
It can be seen that her own mother is very fond of her eldest daughter.
Zhou Aiju glared at her own youngest son with a bad temper, but the movements of her hands did not slow down, and she undressed Anan.
