Chapter 35 Poor Child
There are actually food and cloth, which are hard currencies that you can't buy even if you have money.
Li Dajun didn't think much about it and subconsciously concluded that it was bought by Gu Wan, because he knew that the uncle and aunt of the Gu family did not have such ability.
When they wanted to take a break on the way, Gu Wan handed over a smaller cloth bag and said, "Uncle Dajun, take this flour back and make steamed buns for the children."
Grandma told her that Li Dajun had a two-year-old baby at home, so Gu Wan had already decided to give him a pound of Fuqiang flour.
Don't underestimate this pound of Fuqiang flour. Not to mention that you need a ticket to buy it, it is said that the supply and marketing cooperatives in the commune are basically out of stock and you have to go to the county town to get it.
The white flour buns made with Fuqiang flour are soft and delicious, very suitable for children.
Everyone in the village knows about it, but most families can’t do it.
Li Dajun originally wanted to refuse, but Shi Guixiang said that her granddaughter might need to trouble him often in the future.
After thinking about it, he did not refuse. Li Dajun felt that he could help Gu's eldest niece in other ways in the future.
Anyway, this is how interactions between people work, with give and take, and that way the relationship will be better.
At this time, the commune leaders had already left the Gu family, and the team leader stayed to continue talking to the Gu family.
The old Gu family was also very busy. First, they had to clean up a clean and tidy room for Qi Bin to recuperate alone.
Even if the leaders did not mention that the Gu family would be compensated during Qi Bin's recovery period, the people of the old Gu family, especially Qiao Yuemei, were not stupid. They thought it was their family's luck to be recognized by the commune leaders.
Other things can be discussed later. At least first of all, they should offer the best treatment to their guests.
Because they were all grown-ups and it was easy for them to talk, Gu Shu and Gu Lin from the third Gu family took Qi Bin around the old Gu family to understand the situation, while the team leader stayed behind to talk some private words with old man Gu.
After all, we are all family, and some things are inconvenient to say when outsiders are around. Now the captain has given serious instructions.
Although the specific details cannot be disclosed, it is obvious that Qi Bin's identity is not ordinary.
If you treat him well, you will be blessed in the future.
As a result, the captain talked a lot here, and Gu Zhiqiang directly replied: "Brother, you know that my family is poor now and we can't entertain guests well."
The captain rolled his eyes. Gu Laosan’s wife looked smart and capable, so how come this person was a fool?
Qiao Yuemei, who happened to walk in from outside, heard what her husband said, staggered, and almost slipped and fell at the door.
My silly man, he is a big shot from above, how could he take advantage of ordinary people?
Now I’m living and eating at the Gu family, and I need the care of the Gu family during my recovery. Do I have to ask the Gu family to pay for it themselves?
Qiao Yuemei has long known that her mother-in-law, sister-in-law and herself are all smart and capable.
On the contrary, that group of old and young men, to put it nicely, are hardworking, capable and taciturn, but in fact, they are all tongue-tied and have no strategy and are incapable of accomplishing great things.
Like last time, if it weren't for her mother-in-law's help, Qiao Yuemei wouldn't have been able to get the benefits of being a temporary worker;
Then when my daughter comes back, I won’t be able to give her ten dollars to buy things.
But at that time, Gu Laosan said that it would be fine if the commune did not agree, and it would be too embarrassing for his mother to go to the commune to make trouble, so he was severely scolded by his mother.
The captain was very good to their family, but after all, they were not blood brothers, and he was also afraid that the man would say nonsense again and offend others.
Hearing this, Qiao Yuemei didn't dare to delay and hurried in.
First, she gave Gu Zhiqiang a look, and then Qiao Yuemei quickly assured the captain: "Comrade Qi will live at home, and we will treat him well so that he can recuperate completely." If it weren't for the fact that it was inconvenient for him, a grown man, to talk to a woman in private, the captain would not have wanted to bother with Gu Zhiqiang.
It happened that several people in charge of the Lao Gu family were present at this moment, and the captain emphasized that Comrade Qi was valued by the higher-ups and it was their honor to come to the Red Flag Brigade.
He also said that the third son’s wife was a good cook, and that the family should prepare more delicious food in the future so that the guests would not feel neglected.
In short, everyone should work together to complete the task well.
As a result, they were discussing here, and after a while, the real owner arrived.
In front of everyone, Qi Bin took out a stack of banknotes and said that he certainly couldn't eat and live for free during this period of time at Gu's house, so this was his living expenses and food expenses.
And it may disturb the daily life of Gu's family as compensation to them.
This time, Gu Zhiqiang was really embarrassed. He wondered if someone had heard what he had just said.
Both sides declined for a while, but Qi Bin finally said, "If you don't accept it, aren't you forcing me to make a mistake?"
They say that as staff members, they are not allowed to take advantage of the common people when they are out on business.
After the captain persuaded them again, Gu Mingfeng, the head of the family, accepted the money for the time being.
He planned to wait for the old woman to come back and give it to her. Anyway, the old woman was the one who made the decisions on all matters related to the internal and external relationships here.
When Mrs. Gu, Gu Bin and Gu Wan returned home, they were surprised to find that there was one more person in the house who would be staying there for two months.
Regardless of how other people reacted, Gu Wan felt a little dizzy when looking at the man in front of her.
Could it be that she was dizzy and saw it wrong?
Qi Bin actually showed up at her house and was going to stay there for two months?
Afterwards, Gu Mingfeng handed all the money and bills that Qi Bin had taken out to the old woman, and Shi Guixiang's first reaction was that she could not accept them.
Although she doesn't have a good reputation in the village and is sometimes fierce and aggressive, there's nothing that can be done about it. She has to think of a way to keep such a big family well fed and warm.
But the old lady is also a person with good plans, especially one who knows the big picture.
Anyway, we have grain and vegetables in our own fields. At most, the guests want to eat better food and give us some extra money, but we can't take advantage of them and take so much food from them.
As the old saying goes, if you don't take advantage of an opportunity, you are a bastard;
But there is another saying that is also very true: if you try to gain little, you will suffer a great loss!
The result was another round of pushing and shoving. Qi Bin even said, "There are some misunderstandings between my parents and me. I can't go back even if I'm injured. I'll trouble you for the next two months. I can feel the warmth of family here."
There is a hidden meaning in these words, but the old ginger is still spicy, and the old lady did not live so many years in vain.
I immediately understood the deep meaning of this. This child looked like he was from a wealthy or noble family, but I didn't expect him to be so pitiful.
But the old man is also well-informed.
How could I not know that the more wealthy and powerful a family is, the more twists and turns there are.
As a result, the look he gave Qi Bin was even filled with a bit of sympathy.
I don’t know what the old lady was thinking, but she thought Qi Bin was a poor child who was not liked by his parents.
