Chapter 105 The Best Mother
While eating noodles, Wei Junjie decided in his heart that he would help his nephew more.

If Qi Bin could marry such a capable girl, wouldn't he be able to eat such delicious noodles often in the future?

After all, we are all relatives. There's nothing wrong with him, a lonely uncle, going to his eldest nephew's house for dinner often, right?

At worst, when the hospital pays him salary, money, tickets and so on, he can give it all to Qi Bin and his wife!
To be honest, Gu Wan put a lot of effort into making this noodle, because she knew how important Dr. Wei was to her father and the entire Red Flag Brigade.

It’s too late today, it’s definitely too late, they must go up the mountain the next day.

Shi Guixiang asked her eldest granddaughter to prepare well and bring some dry food for them when the time comes.

This time, all three of them would go up the mountain, so they certainly couldn't just make do with some steamed buns or wowotou like Gu Zhiqiang and his gang did before.

In order to entertain Dr. Wei well, they must prepare some delicious food, so Shi Guixiang asked her eldest granddaughter to make the decision.

Of course, Gu Xiang also made suggestions.

When Shi Guixiang, Gu Zhiqiang and Dr. Wei were chatting before, Gu Xiang did not come forward, after all, her identity was not appropriate.

He came into the kitchen to help later, so he was serving noodles with Gu Wan.

For some things, Gu Wan only needed to take them out of the storage cabinet, and some food could wait until tomorrow to be prepared.

Now that the guests have finished their noodles, they have other things to do first.

Because once the cooperation is reached, it will be connected with the Provincial Hospital in the name of the Red Flag Brigade, so after eating and drinking, Gu Zhiqiang Qi Bin took Wei Junjie to find the brigade leader.

They were discussing business matters, so several female comrades of different ages from the Gu family did not participate. Gu Xiang very diligently cleaned the table and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Shi Guixiang followed him in and said directly to Gu Xiang: "If you are not happy working in the county, why not sell your job and come back home."

Gu Xiang was shocked. She didn't expect her mother to say such a thing. That was a stable job in the county town and most families would not sell it easily.

But the old lady saw it clearly: "The supply and marketing cooperative is the Sun family's territory. No matter what you do, there will always be people gossiping behind your back. You married to the county before, but now if you are unhappy living there alone, you might as well come back home."

As soon as the old lady finished speaking, Gu Xiang's tears could no longer be stopped from falling.

Although she went through the most difficult days after her divorce alone, it seems that she is still working in the county town. Apart from talking less and smiling less every day, there is no other change.

Gu Xiang knew clearly in her heart that she was really unhappy working there.

She was worried that the Sun family would do something bad to prevent her from continuing to work, and she was also annoyed by the attitude of her colleagues. For a while, Gu Xiang even felt that there was no hope in life.

But now, now her mother actually said such words to her...

Not to mention Gu Xiang, even Gu Wan was shocked, thinking that this old lady was really not simple.

You have to know that this was the 1970s. Not to mention in towns and counties, even in big cities like the capital, there were very few divorced women.

Although in reality the woman is not necessarily the one at fault in a divorce, the prejudice in this world always makes life more difficult for women.

Especially if Gu Xiang got divorced and lost her job and returned to the countryside, there would be countless rumors around her.

But grandma still said this, just because she felt that her aunt was unhappy working in the county. Gu Wan and Gu Xiang couldn't help but hug Shi Guixiang's arms at the same time, one on each side.

"Grandma, you are so kind."

"Mom, you are so kind."

Gu Xiang rejected the old lady's proposal, her eyes were very firm: "Mom, I was wrong before. Even if I work in the county, I am not alone. I have a family who loves me. You can ask my brothers to visit me when they are free. I will come back as soon as I have a holiday."

There were still some things that Gu Xiang didn't say. She was unwilling to accept this and just rolled back to her hometown in disgrace like a drowned dog.

Before, she was only focused on her sadness and was blinded by one thing. In fact, Wanwan’s reminder was right. She was not qualified to take revenge on the Sun family head-on now.

But the person Sun Qiwen is with now is his biggest weakness.

Gu Xiang was unwilling to accept this, and she also understood that only if she continued to stay in the county would she be able to find evidence of the Sun family's bad deeds and retaliate against them.

Just at this moment, Gu Wan also looked over. The aunt and niece looked at each other, and the same intention was revealed in their eyes.

Women should be self-reliant and live on their own.
But at the same time, you should not let go of the man who bullied you!

The next day, Gu Wan got up early, took out the dried meat she had snatched from the red envelope group last night, and made a few egg and lean meat pancakes, and asked his father and his group to take them to the mountain to eat.

Then Gu Wan went to work at the commune, but before he even entered the small kitchen, he met Secretary Zheng.

It turns out that tomorrow is that auspicious day. Gu Wan is going to go to Secretary Zheng's house to cook. He came here today to ask what dishes Comrade Gu will cook at that time.

Secretary Zheng had asked someone to prepare vegetables, fish, meat and eggs, and Gu Wan had also been thinking about it for a long time, and had already arranged the eight dishes perfectly.

Now seeing that Secretary Zheng was still very nervous, Gu Wan was very moved, because she knew that this was Uncle Zheng's respect and love for his wife.

Gu Wan took it more seriously. She also knew that if this meal was approved by Uncle Zheng, it would be much easier for her to do things in the future.

Just today, the small kitchen had purchased a chicken, so Gu Wan prepared the salt-baked chicken and chicken stewed with mushrooms that would be made tomorrow in advance so that the leaders of the commune could taste them first.

As a result, Secretary Zhao went to the production team to discuss work today and did not eat in the small kitchen at noon. After he came back, he heard that Gu Wan had prepared two chicken dishes that Xiao Ma said were so delicious that he wanted to swallow his tongue.

Secretary Zhao looked at Gu Wan and asked worriedly, "Comrade Gu, have I offended you?"

"Ah?" Gu Wan looked confused. "Uncle Zhao, why do you say that? Could it be that I have offended the leader by my indiscretion?"

"Then why did you serve new dishes when I wasn't eating here at noon? Why?" The grief and indignation on Secretary Zhao's face were not fake.

As a man of seven feet tall, can't he satisfy his appetite? Is there anything wrong with liking to eat something delicious?
So it’s no wonder that Wei Junjie wanted to help his nephew to win over Gu Wan, even if it was just to have more delicious meals in the future. Her cooking skills are really great!
Secretary Zhao's reaction made Gu Wan laugh and cry, but he felt relieved in his heart because the small kitchen was only set up temporarily.

Only with the recognition of all leaders can it be necessary for it to exist in the long term.

And only when her job is stable and approved by her superiors can she find ways to find more and better jobs for her family.
