Chapter 151 Drawing fire from the bottom of the cauldron
Because he was so happy, Gu Wan took out one and tried it on the spot. It was actually chilled. He really didn't know whether to thank the host of the red envelope for his attentiveness or the thoughtfulness of the welfare red envelope group system.
After eating three pills in a row, all the fatigue from the morning and the sleepiness from getting up early were swept away. When Gu Wan reunited with his family and comrades, all they saw was an empty car.
Gu Hai even asked a soul-searching question: "Wan Wan, these city people are really weird. They took all your vegetables away but didn't take the boxes. How are they going to get them back?"
Gu Wan rolled her eyes and ignored the stupid question. She just told everyone that she had dealt with the remaining dishes and the money would be settled in person.
That’s right, it was money. Gu Wan just happened to grab another red envelope when he finished eating lychees and was packing up.
It turned out to be a pile of bills. Although they were quite fragmented and only added up to ten pieces, it only cost one yuan.
The key is that it is the grain coupons, meat coupons and sugar coupons applicable in this era. Gu Wan explained it this way:
"Because these tickets are pretty good, I took the initiative to reduce the three dollars and exchanged them for these tickets."
Everyone understood and agreed with this and nodded, because they all knew that bills were the most valuable in rural areas.
Qi Bin just looked at everything in front of him with a smile. This confident and proud little girl was his partner.
More importantly, Gu Wan is his future marriage partner who has been approved by his elders.
Before, Gu Wan asked them to go shopping while she went to take care of things. Qi Bin intended to take Li Dajun, Gu Shan and Gu Hai to the department store to broaden their horizons.
Unfortunately, none of the three of them agreed. It wasn't because they were embarrassed by the fact that they were country bumpkins who went to the city and made a fool of themselves. Gu Shan said something very right:
"My sister said that life will be better if we work hard, and we will buy nice things for our family when we make money."
This is a good point. Everything Wanwan said is right@
So Qi Bin stopped forcing it. They happened to be near the post office, so he just went in and made a phone call.
The call was to his aunt. Qi Bin knew that there were many things that were not suitable to be said to his mother in the current situation.
Of course Qi Bin knows that your mother must be very lonely being alone at home every day, so the phone call is purely for greeting and emotional exchange between mother and son.
Qi Bin first called his mother to explain his recent situation and told her that everything was fine. After chatting for a few words, he hung up.
The mother and son have always been like this, and no one thinks it is abnormal, including Fang Miaolan and Qi Bin.
Only Fang Yilan would feel guilty for her eldest nephew. Her elder sister is hopeless and values her husband more than her children.
Afterwards, Qi Bin called his aunt, and this was the highlight.
Fang Yilan told Qi Bin: "You are really amazing, you cooked the wild ginseng and gave it to grandpa to drink every night. He feels much stronger now."
Qi Bin couldn't help but laugh: "Aunt, ginseng can only play a role in strengthening the body and it is not a panacea. How can it be so exaggerated?"
"What does that kid know? That's your filial piety. Isn't it okay for the old man to be happy and in high spirits when something good happens?"
"Okay, okay, I was wrong."
Qi Bin didn't know that Fang Yilan was telling the truth. Her brother-in-law, Wei Junjie, also called to report that he was safe and told him about their cooperation with the Red Flag Brigade.
Wei Junjie praised it again and again, saying that the place was full of talented people and not only the Gu family was capable, but there were indeed many good things on the mountain, and he would go there again after a while. After this topic, Qi Bin directly told his aunt that he had successfully dated Comrade Gu Wan, and asked the family to be mentally prepared that he would take his wife back to the capital when the time was right.
Of course Fang Yilan was happy. She originally thought that under the influence of her sister and brother-in-law, Qi Bin might never think about getting married in his life.
Unexpectedly, after going to the South, I not only achieved better results at work, but I actually found a partner.
Even though the girl was from the country, so what? The Fang family wasn't that kind of people, otherwise her father wouldn't have married her sister to that bastard Qi Yanming.
I never thought that the bastard who was climbing up the social ladder has now forgotten that he also came from a humble background, and he even has the nerve to say words that look down on country people.
The most infuriating thing is the eldest sister, who was completely fooled by the bastard's words, and was controlled like a lost soul.
Fang Yilan has already discussed with Qi Bin that they cannot continue like this. It seems that Qi Yanming is even going to use the Fang family's connections to build momentum for his son and grandson.
If Qi Yanming's operation really succeeds, given that man's personality, he might turn around and deal with their Fang family.
Then their old father will be laughed at. Who should he blame for being bitten by the poisonous snake he raised?
How could this be possible? Qi Bin is working on it, and Fang Yilan is also doing ideological work on her sister.
Fang Yilan just couldn't believe it. If the truth was laid out before her and the ugly face of that man was exposed, her sister would still be so foolish as to blindly believe and favor Qi Yanming.
It doesn't matter what her background is, as long as she is a good girl and Qi Bin found her himself.
Not only Fang Yilan, but the old man of the Fang family also knew about this and they all believed in Qi Bin's vision. That girl must be very outstanding and have qualities that deserve their attention.
At that time, the couple will live happily in harmony, which is better than anything else.
"Aunt, I want to completely resolve my family's issues before I tell my parents about Wanwan's situation."
Fang Yilan knew that the girl Qi Bin liked was called Gu Wan, and her nephew did this because he didn't want the girl to feel wronged.
"Then what do you want me to do?"
"Can you take some time off and bring my mother over here in person?"
Qi Bin felt that if they caught the thief and seized the stolen goods, whatever they said in front of his mother might be slandered as framing him.
What if his mother saw it with her own eyes?
Qi Bin just wouldn't believe it. If his mother saw with her own eyes that the man she loved most already had a warm and harmonious big family outside with sons and grandchildren, she would still remain indifferent and continue to focus only on her selfish feelings.
Having said that, Fang Yilan of course knew what Qi Bin wanted to do, and there was nothing wrong with cutting off the source of the problem.
But she was still a little worried: "If your mother suddenly saw such a scene, I'm afraid her body wouldn't be able to bear it."
"It's better to suffer a short pain than a long one. Some things must be dealt with at the root. Is it really fair for my mother to be kept in the dark for her whole life? Is this fair to her and me?"
In fact, Fang Yilan wanted to say, maybe this is what your mother thinks, it's rare to be confused.
Then Qi Bin said, "So, aunt, I ask you to come with me. If anything happens, it would be good to have you by my side to counsel and advise me."
