Chapter 69: A Son Should Not Blame His Father
Because the two of them were already familiar with each other, and Gu Wan didn't mind this kind of thing that much.

So this time, Qi Bin rode his bike to take Gu Wan to the commune.

But after they left, looking at their backs, the old father felt very melancholy and sighed again and again.

"Go work if you have nothing to do. If you don't have to work in the fields, you can go feed the pigs and chickens. What's the point of a grown man sighing all day long?" Shi Guixiang glanced at Gu Zhiqiang, very dissatisfied.

Among her sons, the eldest and the second are both very manly, and the third is sometimes quite brave in doing things.

It's just that sometimes, the sad face and sighing look are really disgusting.

Gu Zhiqiang was really sad. Qi Bin was a good person. He gave him some ideas and said that he would help him find a way out after all the mountain products were collected.

On this point, Gu Zhiqiang was very grateful to Qi Bin.

Reluctantly, she felt that he was worthy of her daughter, but having too good a family background was not necessarily a good thing.

Besides, Wanwan is still young, so it will take at least a few years before she can start dating, right?
In his heart, it doesn’t matter if Wanwan never gets married. He, her mother, and her brothers can take care of Wanwan for the rest of her life.

Shi Guixiang didn't think as much as her son. This girl will eventually get married, and Qi Bin seems to be a good choice at the moment.

She never thought about whether she was worthy of him or not. Their Wanwan was the best in the world and anyone could be worthy of her.

But Shi Guixiang is also rational and knows that there may really be a difference between red doors and wooden doors.

It was this strange and special contradictory mentality that made her watch Qi Bin show kindness to her eldest granddaughter, neither supporting nor opposing it.

Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. As a grandmother, she only needs to keep loving her children and leave the rest to fate.

Therefore, Qi Bin thought that he was hiding his feelings and pursuing the girl slowly and subtly.

In fact, except for the little girl herself, everyone in her family had already noticed the clues, but they just didn't discuss it openly.

Although Gu Wan had never been in love in her previous life, she has always been immersed in the ocean of learning.

But after all, that was an era of advanced Internet information. Have you ever seen a pig run or eaten pork?
Qi Bin looked at her fiery eyes and her very enthusiastic attitude, which was obviously the way a boy in later generations pursued a girl.

Besides, Gu Wan had also studied that period novel, so she knew something about how lovers in that era interacted with each other.

Judging purely from face and figure, Qi Bin is still good;

And based on his relationship with Qi Yuanhang, if he was really with Qi Bin, wouldn't the male and female protagonists have to call her "Aunt" when they meet her in the future?
Thinking of this, Gu Wan felt quite happy.

Qi Bin was riding his bicycle carefully because his beloved girl was sitting on the back seat, so he rode very carefully.

I was afraid that the car would tilt or shake, making Gu Wan uncomfortable.

Then, he suddenly heard Gu Wan's laughter. Qi Bin felt relieved and asked with a smile, "What good thing did you think of that made you so happy?"

Gu Wan originally thought that they were just strangers but she was really curious and couldn't help asking, "Why does Qi Yuanhang seem to not know you?"

Qi Bin never expected to hear his nephew's name from Gu Wan, and he misunderstood for a moment. Because Gu Wan laughed happily because she thought of her nephew, his mood suddenly became heavy.

However, Qi Bin still briefly said: "My father was born in a poor rural area. Due to special circumstances at the time, he joined the army and left. Later, he made meritorious service outside and was introduced to my mother. They got married. With the help of my grandfather, my father's career was stable, so he was very good to my mother."

I thought that if the two of them really got together in the future, some things could not be hidden, because Gu Wan would know it eventually anyway.

Without further ado, Qi Bin continued, "My mother never knew about this. She and my father had a good relationship, and I originally thought we were a happy family of three."

It was just because Qi Bin was very talented and his grandfather valued him very much, so he sent him to a special part for training when he was in his teens.

As he grew older and his abilities increased, Qi Bin began to participate in various missions and thus learned more information.

He discovered something was wrong with his father, and after checking, he found out that his father had once married and had children when he was in the countryside.

Because he joined the army and received wrong information, Qi Bin's father Qi Yanming thought that his wife and children in his hometown had been killed by the enemy, or for some reason his old leader wanted to introduce him to a girl.

Qi Yanming did not mention his wife and children in his hometown. Perhaps, in his mind, the dead cannot be resurrected, so he might as well pretend that this incident never happened?

A son should not speak of his father's faults. Qi Bin did not want to comment on the good or bad character of his father, but from the information he investigated, he found that his father actually met his wife and children in the countryside when he went on a mission later.

Then I don't know what was going on in his mind, guilt, sympathy, or a deep love for his son?
In short, as far as Qi Bin knew, Qi Yanming had another family in the provincial capital with a wife, children and even grandchildren.

Qi Yanming's original wife had died of illness, and his son and grandson were Qi Sheng and Qi Yuanhang.

Qi Yanming did not tell his later wife or especially his father-in-law about this matter, as he also had another family in the capital.

After knowing this, Qi Bin felt very disgusted, but although his mother was nearly 40 years old, she had always been very well protected by her grandfather and was very innocent and simple.

He didn't want to ruin the fairy-tale life his mother had imagined, so he used busy work as an excuse to rarely go back home and became less and less close to his father.

His mother just thought that the child had grown up and was in his rebellious period and didn't want to be close to his parents.

Who would have known that there would be such a mess of things involved.

Gu Wan felt that this story was very familiar and melodramatic. She had seen this version of the story countless times on the Internet before.

There are two possibilities. One is that it is a tragedy caused by the times, and the other is that Qi Yanming is just a scumbag.

Perhaps it was a woman's sympathy that played a big role. Because of this bloody story, Gu Wan had a better impression of Qi Bin.

Qi Bin didn't know that his scumbag father could have such an effect. He went to the commune for two things this time. One was that his childhood friend had helped him get a watch ticket which would be mailed to him and he had to go to the post office to check it.

Another thing is that he wanted to call his aunt who worked in the hospital to ask some questions.

Qi Bin's aunt works in a hospital. Although she only works in the archives room, she still knows some medical knowledge.
