Chapter 63 Eat carrots and worry less
At first, the fact that Gu Wan did not go to work but went to the commune every day did not attract many people's attention. Anyway, everyone in the educated youth site knew that she was actually the daughter of the old Gu family who was taken away by mistake when she was born.
Nowadays, people give up the good life in the provincial capital and go back to the countryside, so the old Gu family is willing to take special care of her.
Especially since she has several brothers, the work that Gu Wan was assigned to was done by several boys in the Gu family, so naturally the others would not have any objections.
Some people envy him but also feel strange because he goes out every day without working.
Someone at the educated youth center knew that Gu Wan was good friends with Luo Yutong, so he went to ask her if she knew what Gu Wan did at the commune every day.
"Well, I don't know either. Maybe there's something he needs to do. Wanwan didn't tell me specifically, so how would I know?"
Because Luo Yutong usually behaved calmly in front of everyone, no one thought she was lying.
There was one who had bad intentions and deliberately said, "It seems that Gu Wan doesn't really regard you as a friend. He doesn't tell you anything."
Luo Yutong widened her innocent eyes and asked seriously, "Can you promise that you don't have any secrets in this world and have told your friends everything?"
With such little ability, he still came to her to sow discord. Luo Yutong realized that it was no wonder that some educated youth had not been able to integrate into the villagers of the Red Flag Brigade for several years.
There are indeed some people who are lazy and bad, yet they think they are the smartest people in the world.
Anyway, Gu Wan will not come to work in the future, so it is not advisable to tell others that she is already working in the commune.
However, Luo Yutong felt that it was okay to annoy people: "I guess Wanwan won't come to work in the future."
"Ah, why?" The man was obviously shocked by the news.
"She has a large family and her brothers are willing to help her with the work, so Wanwan doesn't need to come to work."
"My brothers are willing, does her sister-in-law agree too?"
What's there to disagree with? Gu Wan not only bought milk powder for his nephew, but also bought malted milk for his sister-in-law.
I even told my grandmother to give my sister-in-law more eggs and sometimes even broth to nourish her body.
Her sister-in-law was very touched. Now in the entire Gu family, apart from grandparents, dad and mom, the eldest sister-in-law likes Gu Wan the most.
Luo Yutong glared at the man. "What are you talking about? Gu Wan is the youngest daughter of the Gu family and the sister of Gu Dasao. Why wouldn't the sister-in-law agree if the brothers treat her well? You are narrow-minded. Gu Wan is a good person, so her family likes her and is willing to spoil her. Do you have any objection?"
I dare not say anything. The old educated youth laughed a few times and then said, "We are all educated youth who went to the countryside. We all need to get up early and work in the dark every day. But Gu Wan doesn't have to do anything. This-"
"How can you say you don't have to do anything? She finishes all the work under her name every day. Her family is willing to help her. If you are not convinced, you can also ask your parents to help you with the work every day."
As she spoke, Luo Yutong also became angry and said directly, "You are really worrying about other people's business. Gu Wan didn't delay your work or eat your rice. What are you doing here making such a fuss?"
This statement also let everyone at the educated youth site know that Luo Yutong and Gu Wan had a good relationship and that they should not speak ill of them casually.
Jiang Guoqing still felt uncomfortable, but Chen Haodong's heart was rekindled with a fire after hearing this.
Humph, the previous Gu Xiaoman could handle it on her own, but no matter how capable this current Gu Wan is, she is just a little girl who has never seen the world.
Chen Haodong believed that as long as he worked hard enough, he still had hope of winning this girl over! In fact, the old Gu family was not as Luo Yutong saw it, where everyone was sincere and kind to Gu Wan.
After all, the others are just cousins, and they are definitely not as good as her own parents and brothers. Everyone has his or her own selfish desires.
But because Gu Wan showed her talents as soon as she came back, and her cooking skills really impressed the leaders of the commune, the other two families were jealous in their hearts but would not say anything.
Shi Guixiang was good at giving birth and raising children. She raised three sons and a daughter and married them off.
The selection of daughters-in-law was decided by the old lady herself. Although she might have some ulterior motives, they were generally hardworking and capable.
Dong Xiu'e, the wife of Gu Boss Gu Zhiguo, gave birth to two sons, Gu Shan and Gu Hai. Gu Shan's wife is Li Huihui.
The second son of the Gu family, Gu Zhijun, has a wife named Huang Chunlan, who also has two sons, Gu Bin and Gu Tian. Gu Wan is from the third son of the Gu family.
The eldest brother Gu and his wife are hardworking and the most capable members of the Gu family. The second brother Gu is relatively more cunning.
You can tell from just looking at his two children, Gu Bin and Gu Tian, that they are more mischievous than the other Gu children.
When he went to bed at night, Gu Zhijun wanted to persuade his wife and tell her that the family members spoiled Wanwan because——
"I think we should be nicer to Wanwan in the future. Wanwan is so generous and kind to her family, so we should be nicer to her."
Gu Zhijun felt strange and could hardly believe that these words came from his wife's mouth.
Without waiting for him to think too much, Huang Chunlan told him all her thoughts.
"Look how capable Wanwan is. She was able to go to work in the commune after just a few days in the countryside. This girl grew up in a big courtyard in the provincial capital and has received education. She must know more than us. There is absolutely no harm in having a good relationship with her."
Gu Zhijun was still confused. "There is no harm or benefit. Wanwan has the ability to go to the commune to work. I can't take you with me."
The belt is also worn by her own mother. At least the third wife’s cooking is much better than yours.
Gu Zhijun dared only keep these words in his heart, as the tradition of their Gu family had always been that one should not openly refute what his wife said.
"Why not? Even if my cooking skills are not as good as Wanwan and her mother, I can at least help wash the vegetables and light the fire, right?"
This is also what Huang Chunlan observed. You know, the commune specially built a small kitchen, which was managed by Wanwan alone.
Even when cooking at home, Huang Chunlan found that even though she knew how to cook, she couldn't handle it all by herself.
And it seems that Wanwan is only good at cooking and doesn’t like washing dishes and wiping tables.
At Lao Gu's house, there was someone to help her with kitchen chores, and there also needed to be someone like that in the small kitchen in the commune.
Even if she is a fake daughter, Wanwan has lived a good life in the big city for the past 18 years and has a formal job in the countryside.
Huang Chunlan observed carefully, which is why she did not object to her sons helping Gu Wan with the work from the beginning.
It's right to have a good relationship with her.
