Chapter 40 The Miserable Woman 40
When Gu Zhishu saw his grandfather's relics, his eyes turned red.

He did not take the gold bars and banknotes immediately. Instead, he picked up the photo album and started flipping through it in the firelight. He took out a photo and looked at it for a long time.

Yuanchun felt that she should leave, as it was a bit awkward.

However, just as she raised her foot, she heard Gu Zhishu ask her, "Lesbian, what's your name?"

"Feng Yuanchun."

"Comrade Yuanchun, thank you for helping me find the photo album and the valuables my grandfather saved. I give you these banknotes as a thank you gift."

"No, that's what Grandpa Gu left for you. Keep it well. If you don't spend it, just keep it as a thought."

After Yuanchun finished speaking, she left.

Gu Zhishu stared at her leaving figure for a long time, then his sadness disappeared and he said with interest, "Haha, I didn't expect that Fengjia Village could raise such a woman who regards money as dirt. A few hundred yuan, she just said no."

After Yuanchun returned home, she also told Grandma Feng about Gu Zhishu.

Grandma Feng sighed and told her, "Old Man Gu did have a son who joined the army, but a few years later, news came that he had died. Old Mrs. Gu couldn't bear the blow and passed away. Old Man Gu didn't have time to go to the army to see his son for the last time. By the time Old Man Gu took care of Old Mrs. Gu's funeral and went to the army, his daughter-in-law had already handled her husband's funeral alone and passed away with her one-year-old son and three-year-old daughter."

"His daughter-in-law is from the south. After Old Man Gu got the address of his daughter-in-law's mother's home from the army, he chased after them and wanted to bring his grandchildren back to raise. However, when he went there, the house was empty and the family had moved away. Since then, his daughter-in-law's mother and daughter have disappeared."

"Before he died, Old Man Gu regretted not being able to see his grandchildren."

"I didn't expect that even though Old Man Gu has been dead for five years, his grandson would still come looking for us."

Grandma Feng sighed. Yuanchun didn't expect that when she came back from the mountain the next day, she would see Gu Zhishu in her house.

She was stunned for a moment, "Comrade Gu Zhishu, what are you doing in my house?"

Gu Zhishu smiled and said, "I came here to express my gratitude. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't be able to find the photo album left by my grandfather."

"It's just a piece of cake. Even if I'm not here, you'll definitely find it if you look for a little longer." Yuanchun waved her hand indifferently.

Grandma Feng also said, "Xiaoshu, it's just a small thing. How can Yuanchun accept such a big gift from you? Take it back quickly."

On the table, there were two net bags with things in them, two bottles of white wine, two bottles of malted milk, two bottles of canned fruit, two kilograms of White Rabbit milk candy, a bag of brown sugar, a bag of white sugar, two bags of cakes, and two bottles of milk powder, all of which were precious things.

"Grandma Feng, this is a little gift from me, you must accept it. Even if Comrade Yuanchun didn't help me with this matter, I would still come to visit you. I heard from Uncle Qi, the village chief, that you took good care of my grandfather before. I thank you."

"We are all neighbors, from the same village, and we help each other. When your grandfather was alive, he helped my family a lot, and Yuanchun girl ate a lot of candies your grandfather gave her."

Grandma Feng talked about many things about Grandpa Gu when he was alive. She also asked Gu Zhishu to stay at home for lunch. Yuanchun happened to have hunted a few rabbits and pheasants at noon. Yuanchun took the lead in cooking and made braised rabbit meat, stewed chicken with potatoes, some fried vegetables, and a large plate of wild duck eggs.

On the way to school, Yuanchun passed by a reed marsh. Every day after school, Yuanchun and her siblings would go to the reed marsh to sweep.

With 007's golden finger, the brothers and sisters always reap a lot.

There were so many wild duck eggs at home that they couldn’t be eaten all, so Qiu Guihua pickled a lot of them.
