Chapter 10 Other People’s Children
The team leader was racking his brains over the idea and had to use work points as a condition to get the village widower, Old Wang, to agree to lend him a room.
Then he cleared a room in his own house to settle these children down first.
There were no single or double rooms. The male educated youth lived in one room and the female educated youth lived in another. After the busy corn harvest was over, the team leader would quickly arrange for the strong laborers in the village to build a few more rooms in the vacant land next to the educated youth site.
If this continues, and the higher-ups assign a few more educated youth to their brigade, they—
They still have to accept it.
"There are not enough dormitories at the educated youth camp. For the time being, you can only stay in the villagers' homes. It's just right that male and female educated youth live separately. Go and have a rest first and put your luggage away."
As a result, just as the captain finished speaking, he heard Gu Zhiqiang say, "Brother, Wanwan doesn't have to stay at someone else's house to keep warm. She can just come home and live with me."
Not only did the newly arrived educated youth not understand what was going on, the team leader also found it strange.
"What do you want to do, kid? Didn't you refuse to lend the room before, saying you wanted to leave it to your daughter?"
"Yes, my daughter is back, so she must go home with me." Gu Zhiqiang showed a bright smile on his honest old face: "Comrade Gu Wan from the provincial capital is my daughter. She took the initiative to apply to go to the countryside in order to go home."
Just now on the ox cart, his daughter had already told him about it, and she had also received a reward for being an outstanding educated youth.
The captain's eyes suddenly widened. What the hell is Gu Laosan saying?
Is he crazy?
Not only the captain, but also the people standing next to him all looked in disbelief. However, the facial features of the charming little girl with red lips and white teeth were indeed somewhat similar to Gu Zhiqiang.
Gu Zhiqiang was still laughing, grinning, and almost laughing to the point of tears.
"My daughter is back, back, my daughter is back..."
Looking at the silly look of Gu Lao San and remembering how sad he had been dealing with the new educated youth that day, the team leader decided that he didn't need to have dinner today.
I'm so angry!
The captain said unhappily, "You are a changeable person."
He was a little embarrassed, but Gu Zhiqiang said confidently: "It's not like I didn't know that my daughter would go to the countryside as an educated youth. Besides, I also said that the room should be reserved for my daughter, which is not wrong."
It seems to be true.
The captain waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, okay, take your daughter away quickly. It's just that there will be more room for the female educated youth to live with one less person."
The other educated youth had no idea what was going on, and they were completely confused by the scene.
Zhou Weihong knew about it and was planning to find a way to tell Xiaoman about the latest developments.
But she knew that she couldn't tell anyone at this moment, after all, the source of the information couldn't be told to others.
With a turn of his eyes, Zhou Weihong thought of a way to make things difficult for others.
Zhou Weihong rubbed her eyes, and rubbed them again, looking very weak and pitiful.
"Why should we have to live together as two or three people, but she can live alone at a fellow villager's house?"
"Because she is my own daughter." Gu Zhiqiang said coldly.
He is honest and simple only when facing his daughter. Gu Zhiqiang is not the kind of person who is good in front of other girls.
Zhou Weihong choked, and seeing the other party's ferocious look, he didn't dare to say anything.
Typical bully and fear of the strong.
Although the others were also very curious about why a countryman's daughter would be an educated youth from the provincial capital, they did not dare to be too presumptuous on someone else's territory. Only Luo Yutong was really sad.
The relationship between Luo Yutong and Zhou Weihong has always been a bit mixed because it involves Jiang Guoqing.
So along the way, she and Gu Wan had a good chat and really wanted to make friends here.
Especially if Gu Wan doesn't live with them, doesn't that mean she will have to sleep with Zhou Weihong in the future?
Oh my God! Luo Yutong was so frightened that she held Gu Wan's hand tightly and refused to let go.
"Woo, don't leave me alone."
Gu Wan was speechless, but could only comfort him: "Although we can't live together, we have to go to work together every day, so we can still be together."
After saying this, Gu Wan started to have a toothache. Why did these words sound wrong?
Knowing that this was his daughter's friend, Gu Zhiqiang also helped out: "My lady, after you settle down, I will bring Wanwan to see you. You and Wanwan can come to my house for dinner in the evening to get acquainted. You can play together often in the future."
Let’s play!
This time, the man with the black line on his forehead became the team leader. From the tone of Gu Laosan's voice, he always felt that something bad was going to happen.
The educated youth were not good at work in the first place, and Gu Wan became their own child. Given that Gu Laosan's family favors their daughter, they would not help the female educated youth with work in the future, right?
Isn't this a blatant corruption of the atmosphere in the educated youth's camp?
Gu Zhiqiang didn't care what his cousin thought. He happily took his daughter home.
At this time, the Gu family did not know that there would soon be one more person in the family, and each family member was busy with their own things.
Even so, life is still not easy.
In fact, the Gu family used to have a good life. The three boys in the family were all strong laborers, and they were all sensible and filial.
But isn’t that how life is in the countryside? Even if you’re busy all year round, the best you can do is to ensure that your family doesn’t go hungry.
Once someone has a headache or a fever, it will be a disaster. The old man broke his leg and the eldest son's daughter-in-law had a difficult delivery.
That emptied the Gu family's assets and left them with a lot of foreign debts.
In addition, Xiaoman, who was taken away by mistake, left, but her own child did not come back, which made people feel unhappy.
Fortunately, the Gu family’s house was built in an earlier year, so the three sons have all gotten married and can live comfortably there, and there is also a large yard outside.
The old lady of the Gu family is very fertile. She raised three sons and a daughter, and each of her three sons gave her a grandson.
That's right, these things are worthless if you have too much of them. Old Mrs. Gu Shi Guixiang has six grandsons, but her third daughter-in-law gave her only a granddaughter.
The little girl is so nice, so fair and tender, and calls "Grandma" in her baby voice.
It makes people feel sweet just by hearing this, so Xiaoman is the most favored one in the third brother's family since she was a child, because she is the only granddaughter.
But now, I have become someone else's child.
When she thought of this, Shi Guixiang felt even worse.
Especially Xiaoman, she is really heartless.
When her biological parents came, they actually said that she had suffered a lot in the countryside and that they were not good to her.
