Chapter 36 Half-mother
So the money and notes were accepted, but the old lady had no intention of using them on her own family.

Instead, I thought about finding more opportunities to go to the commune and buy more good things to nourish the child's body.

Well, it was a big scare as soon as I entered the door, but fortunately it was resolved perfectly.

Then, Gu Wan very dramatically placed the large sack they brought back in the main room and opened it for everyone to see.

For a moment, everyone in the Gu family was stunned.

Not to mention rice and flour, these are all good things, and there are also whole rolls of cloth.

The Gu family has a lot of labor force but also many children. Except for major life events such as children’s marriages, they generally don’t make new clothes.

Moreover, it is not known how many feet of cloth can be bought with the cloth coupons saved by everyone in the Gu family in a year.

But the amount of stacks that Gu Wan took out at once was so thick that I had never seen such a large amount even in the supply and marketing cooperative.

In fact, there was also the Huili shoes on Gu Bin's feet, but before arriving home, the old lady thought about it and asked her eldest grandson to put them away first.

At the very least, take it out and wear it after two days.

I also explained it to my granddaughter. After all, there are several brothers in the family, and everyone would feel uncomfortable if they were treated unfairly.

Gu Wan and Gu Bin both knew that grandma was the most powerful one in the family, so of course they were very obedient.

Not to mention Gu Zhiqiang, even Qiao Yuemei was shocked when she saw it: "Wanwan, did you buy all these?"

My goodness, my daughter, did you think that the supply and marketing cooperative was emptied out during your trip to the county town?

No, my mother-in-law just said that the supply and marketing cooperative doesn’t have that much cloth. This is bought at the department store.

Of course, these are defective cloths that the salesperson got out through connections, needless to say, those tiny black spots are nothing and no one takes them seriously.

Besides, if Wanwan wasn’t so capable and talented, the salesperson wouldn’t have given her the honor of buying so much cloth at once.

Gu Wan nodded, and Gu Zhiqiang immediately looked very proud.

You see, it turns out that Gu Lao San’s biological daughter is just like him, smart, capable and talented.

Seeing her husband's stupid look, Qiao Yuemei immediately knew what he was thinking and was too lazy to pay attention to him.

I just made up my mind to have a good talk with my daughter in private.

My daughter grew up in a large compound in the provincial capital. Even if Qin's parents didn't say anything to her, she must have lived a life of plenty for 18 years.

Being generous is probably a habit developed since childhood.

But the situation is different now. My daughter will definitely not be given much money when she goes to the countryside. These things must be saved for her future self-defense.

It is right to be nice to your family, but there must also be a bottom line in life.

This girl, even if she gets married in the future, will only feel truly happy when her palms are facing upwards.

Although the cloth has been temporarily put away by the old lady, everyone in the Gu family still feels very happy today.

Because they all ate meat today. Although there were too many people in the family, even if two kilograms of meat were eaten in one meal, a lot of potatoes would have to be added.

Braised potatoes with meat, it tastes so good, several boys were holding bowls and eating.

To be honest, today, because we didn't want to tell everyone how good Wanwan was to them and for Qi Bin's sake, according to the old lady's frugal nature, the two pounds of meat had to be rubbed with salt to make bacon.

Generally speaking, even if you don't take it for half a year, you have to take it for two months.

They ate two kilograms of meat in this meal, which was a treat only available during the Chinese New Year. The old lady had already made some calculations in her mind.

Next, they should not let their granddaughter spend money so lavishly, and should leave more for themselves. On this point, Shi Guixiang and Qiao Yuemei, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, both had surprisingly consistent ideas.

All of a sudden, the old Gu family had two more family members, and life at home didn't change much except that it became better.

Gu Wan didn't plan to go to work the next day, because her father and brother would help her finish the work anyway.

However, I'd better say hello to the captain about this matter.

As a result, just as I was about to go out, I ran into Qi Bin who was also going out for a walk.

Gu Wan stared at him left, right, up and down, completely puzzled.

Even this suspicious look made Qi Bin feel uneasy, and he couldn't help but ask directly: "What's wrong?"

"Where are you hurt?"

It is said that he injured his leg, but he looks normal everywhere and I don't see any medicine for him at home.

In a situation like her grandfather's, he was really injured, and even now his two legs are obviously different lengths when he walks.

Qi Bin was stunned, obviously not expecting the little girl to be so sensitive.

Then he smiled calmly and said, "Well, you don't have to be too curious. Just know that I was given leave by my leader to recuperate."

Wow, paid vacation, that’s a good benefit.

Being too curious might not be good for you, so Gu Wan did not ask any more questions, but took the opportunity to return the ten yuan to the other party.

This time Qi Bin accepted it generously. There was no rush anyway, as he would definitely have to go to the commune or the county frequently in the future.

It would be a good idea to bring some more things for this girl and her family.

Knowing that Gu Wan was going to see the captain, Qi Bin went with her, "I also have something to ask the captain."

They met quite a few people from the village along the way, because Gu Wan had just returned from the big city and Qi Bin also looked extraordinary.

So both of them, the handsome man and the beautiful woman, are very decent people, and this combination is pleasing to the eye.

They soon arrived at the brigade headquarters, and the two people explained their purpose to the brigade leader. One of them wanted to clarify that her family would be working in her place.

The captain had known about this for a long time. The Gu family was famous for favoring girls over boys, so he asked the boys in the family to help Gu Wan with her work before completing their own tasks.

This is definitely something that the Gu family can do.

Qi Bin came to ask the team leader for a certificate, and he had to go to the commune to make a phone call.

During this period of time, he was temporarily living in the Hongqi Brigade and had to abide by the regulations here. When he went out, he had to ask the brigade leader for a letter of introduction like other villagers.

After that, the two of them walked slowly towards the old Gu family. For some reason, Gu Wan suddenly said, "I used to know a family named Qi who lived in the compound. What a coincidence."

But Qi Bin suddenly stopped and looked at her with a strange expression.

Gu Wan felt something was a little strange. Looking at the other person's expression, an idea suddenly occurred to him: "Do you really know someone from the Qi family?"

Qi Bin nodded, very seriously: "The Qi family in the compound, can be said to have a history, Qi Sheng is my half brother."

Gu Wan's facial expression was a little chapped, so he asked her to smooth it.

Qi Sheng is Qi Yuanhang's father, and Qi Bin's half-brother.

If that's the case, Gu Wan's eyes widened. Qi Bin is Qi Yuanhang's uncle?
I really can't tell, because from the looks of it, the two people are about the same age.
