Chapter 28 War of words
In the end, it was the old man who made the final decision: "You all remember to take Wanwan's matter to heart, and if there is a chance, you must help her get it."
The old couple even secretly discussed whether they should go to the county town to find Gu Xiang?
See if she can help Wanwan find a job. This is also the love that the old people have for their granddaughter, and they are willing to lower their noble heads.
After finishing their meal, the Gu family members also went their separate ways, washing up in batches while those who were not yet their turn went out for a walk.
The main reason was that there was no electricity in the Hongqi Brigade and even the Yongfeng Commune. In order not to waste kerosene lamps, everyone would usually eat early before it got dark.
Gu Wan also took advantage of the early morning to deliver a meal that had been packed long ago to Luo Yutong.
This was something they had discussed before. Luo Yutong would live in Director Zhang's house, but her meals would still be provided at the educated youth center.
Jiang Guoqing was there, but there was also Zhou Weihong, which made Luo Yutong feel annoyed.
She simply begged Gu Wan to give her food, food coupons or other things so that the Gu family could leave some food for her.
Anyway, it's an equal exchange and neither side suffers. For the Gu family, it's just a matter of having one more pair of chopsticks, so there's nothing they wouldn't like.
There were some old educated youth who ate at the villagers' homes. It just so happened that Luo Yutong was not familiar with Director Zhang but was good friends with Gu Wan, so she did this.
Gu Wan was carrying a bamboo basket specially prepared by the old lady. This kind of small handicraft was no problem for Grandpa Gu, as many of the small gadgets in the house were woven by him.
However, among his three sons, only the eldest followed him to learn, while the second and third sons were not interested.
Inside the bamboo basket was a large bowl of rice, a bowl of egg soup, and some cabbage and cucumber that Gu Wan had specially served out.
Considering that they were all educated youth, Gu Wan had already offended Zhou Weihong by not agreeing to help her move food.
Although he was not afraid of those people, Gu Wan didn't want to always have conflicts with them.
So they agreed on a time, and Luo Yutong and Gu Wan met outside the educated youth site, where there happened to be a big rock where they could sit down and eat.
Just like the people in the old Gu family, Luo Yutong was astonished after just one bite and praised Gu Wan's cooking skills.
"Oh my god, Wanwan, you made this yourself? You are amazing. I have never eaten a more delicious meal in my life."
Gu Wan chuckled, "How old are you? In this life - don't worry, you will definitely have better meals in this life."
Luo Yutong pouted: "It would be great if you could cook for me for the rest of your life."
Then, she waved her hands again and again, "I don't mean to look down on you, I——"
"I understand. No need to explain so much." Gu Wan smiled and shook his head.
In other words, in the eyes of the country people, being a cook is a serious job and a stable job, so when Gu Wan mentioned that he wanted to be a chef, his family thought it was a good idea.
But people like Luo Yutong, who worked for big factories and were educated people who had just finished high school, naturally felt that cooks were "inferior".
Fortunately, Gu Wan knew that Luo Yutong was simple-minded and outspoken, and he actually quite liked her character.
Luo Yutong was eating while Gu Wan chatted with her, exchanging information that they didn't know about each other.
For example, Luo Yutong told her that there were five other new educated youth besides her.
But these five people are not united, and not all of them are on good terms or bad terms with the old educated youth.
Anyway, everyone sticks to their own groups, and the atmosphere in the educated youth center is not very friendly. This is the fundamental reason why Luo Yutong would rather spend money to eat out.
"Let me tell you, that Chen Haodong, they said they are definitely dating."
Hearing the name Chen Haodong again, Gu Wan finally paid enough attention to it.
Because she was already very sure and certain about who Chen Haodong was.
It was mentioned in that period novel that Qin Shiman in her previous life - no, in her previous life she was always Gu Xiaoman, until her death.
In fact, the Gu family treated Gu Xiaoman very well. Later, her life situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and she even died tragically and was reborn with resentment.
This Chen Haodong is the culprit.
Chen Haodong is one of the educated youth who went to the countryside. Unable to endure the heavy physical labor in the countryside, he wanted to find a girl in the village to date.
Of course, he never thought of marrying the village girl, he just wanted to use her for a short time.
Therefore, Gu Xiaoman, who had a lot of labor force in the family and was the only girl, became the object of Chen Haodong's covetousness. He first tried to find a way to date her.
He used the Gu family to help him with work, and the eggs that the Gu brothers were reluctant to eat were given to that scumbag by Gu Xiaoman.
Later, Chen Haodong was admitted to university and left, and never came back.
Gu Xiaoman left the Red Flag Brigade in order to find him, which led to many things that happened to her later and she had a miserable life.
There was a brief description in that period novel that Gu Xiaoman was reborn after her tragic death. She learned the story of the true and false daughter before she died.
Then Gu Xiaoman concluded that the reason why she was living such a bad life was because of the original owner, because the original owner had taken over her identity as a rich lady.
Otherwise, why would Chen Haodong not want her, and why would she suffer in the countryside?
In that period novel, Gu Wan did not exist, and the original owner was framed by the reborn Qin Shiman and eventually died tragically.
Of course not now that Gu Wan is here, she at least has one more advantage than the original owner -
Knowing that Qin Shiman has a strategy system is actually taking away the original owner's luck.
Not only does Gu Wan have to avoid all these, but he also has to rely on his own efforts to make the Gu family live a good life.
"Who is he dating? How do you know?"
Luo Yutong couldn't answer this question.
In fact, Luo Yutong didn't know much about the situation. She only heard gossip from others and learned a little from the verbal battles among a few educated youths.
Gu Wan didn't want to ask for the time being, but just kept the name Chen Haodong in mind.
The existence of this person is always a thunder, and this scumbag who specializes in deceiving girls deserves to die.
It seems that this man is the same in both the city and the countryside, there are good and bad men everywhere.
Now that Qin Shiman has left early, I wonder if Chen Haodong will set his sights on other girls.
Not to mention that Luo Yutong was enjoying the delicious food here, over at the educated youth center, a group of new and old educated youth who had worked for an afternoon had to work hard to cook after coming back.
What they ended up seeing was Gu Wan bringing food to Luo Yutong, and they were all very envious.
God knows they are all very tired after work, it would be great if they could just lie down.
But people can't not eat, so they can only force themselves to light a fire and cook.
Even if the old educated youth cooked, they could only cook the food, which was far from being delicious.
Especially when the delicious smell came from Luo Yutong's meal, everyone's indignation was almost overflowing.
Especially the newly arrived educated youth, they came here in a ox cart.
