This is to prevent theft. Wang Da Ying couldn't scold her own children, so An An and her brother became her scapegoats. Not one of the Gu family members who were just a wall away came out to help... Gu An An looked at Wang Da Ying, slowly got up, picked up the quilt that was draped over the kang, felt its warmth, put it on, and said, "Auntie, why did you call me?"

  Wang Da Ying's eyes were about to pop out, "You good-for-nothing, it's already noon and the sun is scorching hot, what are you yelling for? Which girl is as lazy as you? Are you waiting for your elders to cook for you?" In Gu's Village, being called a "white-eater" was one of the worst insults, meaning someone who eats but doesn't work. For a 16 or 17-year-old girl, this was a poisonous remark. After all, she was almost at the age where people would start calling her an old maid, and having the label "white-eater" on her head, no family in Gu's Village would want to marry such a girl.

  Gu An'an smoothed out her clothes and comforted the frightened Gu Dongdong before looking up, enunciating each word clearly, "Second Aunt, this statement is quite biased. Have you ever even touched a single piece of firewood in our family's woodshed? All of these were chopped by me alone on the mountain."

  "The sauerkraut foam stuck to the pot brush is the snow red I brought back from the mountain when my hands were frozen red while picking frost flowers. Second Aunt, have you ever helped pick a single snow red?"

  "Outside the self-retained land, there is still half an acre of radish and Chinese cabbage left. Second Aunt, did you till that land? Did you plant those radishes and cabbages?"

  Wang Da Ying wanted to refute, but was glared at by Gu An An with a cold eye, interrupting her, "Let's talk about home again. The meals at home have always been the responsibility of my elder sister-in-law to cook, I'm in charge of washing dishes. As for household chores, it's also me who sweeps several rooms alone. Even on cold winter days, I would carry your second aunt's clothes to the riverbank, break the ice on the surface, wash them clean and bring them back. Second Aunt, when you said I was eating without contributing, didn't you feel a little guilty?"

  "Or rather, this family, Second Aunt, what have you actually done?"

  Wang Da Ying was speechless after being scolded by Gu An An, she threw the pot brush to the ground and sat down, wailing "I'm not living anymore, I'm not living anymore. Now even young girls are starting to look down on me, I've never seen anyone so disrespectful to their elders."

  An'an helped Dongdong, who had woken up from sleep, to get dressed. She gave a cold glance at Wang Da Ying, who was sprawled on the ground, and held Dongdong in her arms. "Since Second Aunt is displeased that Dongdong and I are eating for free at home, we'll go eat elsewhere. We don't dare trouble Second Aunt anymore."

  After finishing, taking advantage of Wang Da Ying's daze, she put Gu Dong Dong on the ground and led him out. She lowered her head to Dong Dong's ear, "Dong Dong, when we go out later, if you see anyone, cry and say that Second Aunt is biased against us for eating our fill."

  Gu Dongdong rolled his eyes, obviously still sleepy, but as for his sister's words, he took them as a sacred decree and had just left the Gu family courtyard.

  She met Zhao Guifang, who had just returned from washing clothes. Zhao Guifang and Wang Da Ying were from the same village and both married into Gu's Village, but Wang Da Ying was married to the son of the village head.

  Zhao Gui Fang however married Gu Xiang Qian, an accountant from Gu Jia Village.

  Zhao Guifang and Wang Daying, before they got married, liked to compare with each other. After getting married, Wang Daying relied on being the captain's wife and often spoke sarcastically to Zhao Guifang.

  Zhao Guifang can also endure, smiling in front of someone's face while stabbing them in the back.

  The appearance of Gu An'an and her brother gave Zhao Gui Fang a knife, which stabbed Wang Da Ying.

  She put down the wooden basin and wiped her hands on the apron around her waist, teasing Gudongdong who was crying, "Hey, why is Dongdong crying like this?"

  As soon as Gu An'an heard Zhao Gui Fang's question, her eyes turned red instantly, and she was a bit flustered. She hurriedly covered Dongdong's mouth, "Dongdong, don't say anything."

  Dongdong also understood his sister's meaning, he pried open his sister's hand, crying with sobs, "Second Aunt is prejudiced against us for being freeloaders, not giving us food to eat, and saying that my sister doesn't do chores."

  Zhao Guifang's heart was filled with joy, but her face showed concern, and her voice rose a few degrees, "You two are also too much, bullying the child like this."

  Winter rubbed his tear-stained eyes and asked, "Aunt Zhao, the firewood in our home was all cut by my sister on the mountain, and the pickled vegetables at home were also picked by my sister from the snow-covered mountains. Even the self-cultivated land outside is taken care of by my sister. Just a few days ago, my sister helped Second Aunt wash clothes by the frozen river. My sister is obviously very diligent, but why did Second Aunt say that my sister is lazy and also said that she is freeloading? The words of children are always the most sincere. More and more people gathered around to listen.

  Everyone is watching the excitement without fear of being affected.

  "An'an is not lazy at all, in the whole village, An'an is a good hand at doing chores. Go ask around, which girl can be like An'an, with good grades, quick work, and filial to elders." Zhao Guiying heard the last sentence and couldn't help but raise her voice, "What? Wang Da Ying that woman, even her clothes are washed by An'an at the riverbank?"

  Gu Dongdong nodded, "The ice in the river was still chiseled with the help of stones by me."

  "Wang Da Ying is really something else."

  "It's really shameless, a person in their several tens letting a niece who lives next door help with the laundry,"

  Someone asked, "What's wrong with this? This is a meal time, where are you going?"

  An'an and Dongdong chimed in unison, "When we went to Huazi Shu's house for dinner, Er Bao Niang didn't give us anything to eat."

  After finishing, the two of them looked around nervously at the nearby courtyard and bid farewell. "Everyone, uncles and aunts, Dongdong didn't say anything, let's just pretend we didn't hear it, we're going to Huazi Uncle's house now..."

  The onlookers felt increasingly sympathetic towards An'an and her brother, "These motherless children are easily bullied."

  "When she said this, Tang Lan Zhi was at home and didn't see An An being taken care of."

  "It's not okay, An'an this child is so pitiful!"

  An An led Gu Dongdong for a long time, and the two of them looked at each other, holding their stomachs in laughter. They stood under a soapberry tree, taking a break. By this time, the sun had come out, and the snow on the ground had melted, making the road difficult to walk on.

  The two of them leaned against the soapberry tree, and Gu Dongdong's big eyes were filled with excitement, his whole body jumping up. He cheered, "Sister... sister, how did you become so clever!"

  The two words "changed" made Anan's heart skip a beat, after all, it was her younger brother who had been with her for a long time. She remained calm and asked, "Dongdong, do you think sister has changed for the better or worse?"

  Gu Dongdong tilted his head, thought for a while, and responded with a crisp tone, "Of course it's good, sister has become smarter, and Second Aunt can't bully sister anymore."

  With a relieved smile, she said with a hint of pride, "This is called 'killing with a borrowed knife'. You see how Second Aunt always bullies us. Let's let the public's gossip kill her and see if she dares to bully us again." If Second Uncle finds out about this, he'll definitely scold Second Aunt to death, given his concern for face.

  Gu Dongdong seemed to understand and yet not understand, "Sister, what is 'the masses'?"

  An An fainted, at this age, haven't the two words "masses" been popularized yet?

  "It means uncle and aunt."

  "Sister, this method is good. From now on, if anyone dares to say in front of me that I'm a child without a mother, I'll tell Uncle and Auntie to let the adults scold him severely."

  An An didn't have any illusions about corrupting children, she nodded her head, with a look that said "children are teachable".

  "Winter is indeed very clever."

  This is the first thing Gu Dongdong learned in his life. When his combat power was not enough, he learned to use circuitous methods to defeat his enemies.

  An didn't notice that her honest younger brother's eyes were shining with an astonishing light, obviously having learned the trick inside and eager to try it out.

  After the two of them walked far away.

  Two young men jumped down from the soapberry tree, one of whom was about twenty years old, wearing a green military uniform, with a straight figure and a handsome face with clear-cut features. At this time, he had a faint smile on his face, and his eyes were shining brightly as he muttered to himself, "What an interesting little black-haired girl."

  Next to him was a little black boy with a small flat head, who jumped down from the tree and patted his butt. "Hey, I'm also dark-skinned, why don't you praise me?" As he said this, he stroked his chin, looking in the direction where Anan and her brother had disappeared. "This sister is quite interesting, but isn't she afraid of spoiling the little kid?"

  "Intelligent and tight." The handsome young man's voice was extremely low, the black boy next to him dug his ear, curiously, "Head, what did you say?"

  "Nothing! Keep up."

  An'an didn't know that in the place where they had just rested, two people were hiding on the soapberry tree.

  She had already arrived at the gate of Gu Hua Zi's house.

  It was already past nine in the morning, and in the countryside, every household had already eaten breakfast, but if you came to Huazai Shu's home, there would definitely be some left.

  Because Hua Zi's uncle's family has a big lazy worm, lazier than An An, named Gu Ban Xia. This name was given when Hua Zi's aunt gave birth to the child, and Hua Zi's uncle brought back a basket of Chinese medicine Ban Xia from the mountain.

  Hua Zi's uncle slapped his thigh and said, "Alright then, my daughter will be called Ban Xia."

  Don't be fooled by Gu Banxia's nice-sounding name, she's actually a chubby girl.

  In this day and age, being able to be plump despite lacking clothes and food is truly a fortunate thing.

  Gu Banxia had a weak body since childhood, Gu Huazi hated to take the stars in the sky for Banxia. She was his only daughter, and all the good things went into Gu Banxia's belly.

  When you're young, it's okay to be chubby and people will call you cute.

  But if a big girl gets fat, it's no longer cute.

  But Gu Banxia, who had become a big girl, couldn't lose weight no matter what, and for so many years, she was nicknamed Gu Sanbai.

  Fat face, fat waist, fat legs.

  Hua Zi's hands cupped together, his eyes shining like he had spotted his own wife. He carefully scraped the cigarette box several times, making a "tsk" sound, "Wow, this is really something, Qiang Zi, you're being very generous this time."

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

  Gu Weiqiang ran long distances outside, so he naturally had some connections. This big pack of cigarettes cost a lot of money, and he himself couldn't bear to smoke them. He carried them on his body just for the sake of paving 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 son's 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 daughter, anyway she is one year younger than him. He will go to run more goods and strive to earn tuition and living expenses, so that the little daughter can also go to the county town to study next year.

  After all, it's still useless for him to be a father.

  This statement is somewhat self-deprecating on Gu Weiqiang's 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 sources is also mostly used to support his family.

  After all, in the entire Gu family, he is the only one who eats supplied grain, and it's 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 didn't 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 that's not all, there are still several younger ones in the Gu family attending elementary school, which is a huge expense.

  Actually, the Gu family's 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 is why they have to fight for a spot in school.

  An'an fell asleep, unaware that Gu Weiqiang had gone to see Tang Lanzhi alone and warned her not to have any ideas about fighting for a spot.

  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 didn't 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 don't know."

  Wang Da Ying raised an eyebrow and curled his lip, "You little girl, it's 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 hadn't heard him.

  It's 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 forced out by her family and cut off from them. She escaped from Henan to Gujia Village, where she almost starved to death. It was Gu Jia's eldest son, Gu Weiguo, who saved her life by sharing his own food with her.

  Zhao Junyan woke up and didn't despise him. Gu Weiguo was a cripple, so she married Gu Weiguo and settled in Gu's 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 didn't 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 hadn't passed yet. She was in a daze and didn't care about anything else. She rushed all the way to the beverage area. As expected, where she had fallen, there were beverages rolling around 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 dad's number was at the top. Unconsciously, she dialed it again, but it only rang three times before automatically hanging up.

  An'an gritted her teeth and dialed the second number, which was her mother's, but the result was the same - she couldn't 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.

  This phone can no longer dial any numbers.

  And she Gu An'an, thoroughly can't go back.

  Thinking of this, Gu An's heart was in pain, if she wasn't 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 An's 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 supermarket's glass window, dazed and lost in thought, "Can't go back,"

  She put her phone into her bag and carefully placed it in a very conspicuous place.

  Anan 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 baked corn porridge.

  Facing himself in the mirror to boost his confidence, it would have been better if he hadn't 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!

  What's with this body?

  Does the package contain black charcoal?

  An'an has tanned so much that her skin tone is almost indistinguishable from a black person's now.

  What's 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 sister's 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 west room to find an adult to take a look.

  Scared, Gu An'an 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 couldn't 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 Dongdong's 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 Lanxi's face was filled with distress. This big girl, why didn't she wake up early or late, but instead woke up at this time?

  Gu Wanwan's expression didn't change, she raised her hand and patted Tang Lanzhi's arm, "Mom, you continue to clean up, I'll go take a look at my sister."

  As she spoke, she stuffed some tickets into Tang Lanxi's cloth bag on the side, and then walked in front of Gu Anan, smiling innocently, "Sister, you're 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 Anan get out of bed.

  Gu Anan didn't 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 couldn't bring herself to say "Mom".

  Tang Lan Zhi also stopped collecting, tied the mouth of the bag and held it in her hand. "Mom, get ready to take your sister to grandma's house for New Year."

  After entering the house, Gu Weiqiang took off his cotton-padded jacket and put it on a chair. He looked at the two people huddled together on the kang, where a bamboo birdcage sat on the warming table, with Lang Yongling teasing the birds in high spirits.

  As for Feng Xian, he took the book and read it with great interest. If Gu Wei didn't misjudge, this was a book that he had picked up while running long distances. Unexpectedly, Doctor Feng wasn't 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 cross-legged on the kang. Only after he sat down did he realize that the kang was not burning well and was only lukewarm. He continued, "What's 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 An'an would send firewood to these people, and she had no relationship with Gu Wei Qiang at all. When Gu An'an was over ten years old, she started going up the mountain to chop firewood. Once, she fell from the mountain and hurt her ankle. It was Feng Xian who helped set her broken bone. This Gu An'an was also grateful, every time she went up the mountain to chop firewood for her family, she would always bring a bundle to their place, 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 hasn't 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 had come to the countryside and worked hard to learn it, but if he really did the work, he was actually not as fast as An An. Although An An didn't like to talk, she was impatient by nature, and every time she took Feng Qingyan to chop firewood, watching him do it slowly made her anxious.

  They simply fought together and let Feng Qingyan carry it back herself.

  Hearing that his own daughter was mentioned by these people, Gu Weiqiang felt uncomfortable and asked, "Did my daughter chop firewood for you? Why haven't I ever heard you mention it before?"

  Lang Yongling took over the conversation, "Who dares to say, after saying it, what if they don't give us firewood? We're relying on An'an!", He heard the joke in Lang's words very clearly, but still felt uncomfortable. His daughter, Gu Wei, he didn't even let her serve him a bowl of rice, how did she become a partner for carrying firewood here? He waved his hand, "From now on, go to the mountain yourself to cut firewood, don't 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 you're feeling heartache? You didn't show any heartache before, letting people treat you differently. Now that your beloved 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, let's not mention past matters. From now on, don't order my daughter around like this again."

  Changing the subject, he poured a cup of Erguotou for Old Master Lang and also one for Feng Xian. "For your help last time, my old friend is here to thank you." As he spoke, he clinked his cup against Feng Qingyang's. "And Qingyang, if there's anything in the future, just let me know, I'll definitely help if I can."

  Feng Qingyan had a doll-like face, looking exceptionally lovely. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Then I won't 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, with many small pockets on it. Each pocket had a shiny surgical knife inserted in it.

  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. "Don't 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 Xian's treatment that he didn't end up with a useless arm. Otherwise, how could he have become the captain of the transportation team?

  He didn't 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 didn't 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." It's 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 doesn't need to be thanked, I'll just get going." He raised 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 relatives 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 don't know when my own old partner will be found." Everything that came out of Lang's house was valuable, and had long been divided up.

  Unlike Feng Xian's scalpel, no one wants it, taking it back to cut vegetables, they all think it's unlucky.

  Gu Weiqiang thought for a moment, and was certain that "there will be such a day." He enjoyed racing cars outside, from the restoration of the college entrance examination to the transaction, he didn't think it was as strict 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 Year's 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 waiting for Gu Weiqiang to return was Gu Dongdong, from daytime till night, he still hadn't returned.

  "Dad, why haven't you come back yet."

  Gu Anan couldn't coax this little bean into behaving, 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 up from the kang, his bright eyes staring at the chicken leg, swallowing saliva non-stop, "Sister, chicken leg?"

  Gu An nodded and handed the chicken leg in front of Xiaodou Ding, "Eat."

  Xiao Dou Ding's eyes were full of longing, but his hands didn't slow down, shoving the chicken leg into Gu An An's mouth. "Sister, take a bite first."
