1960s: The crazy life after the alchemy furnace became a spirit

Chapter 58 Hug
"Hey, that guy was fired, and he was also arrested for having an affair."

Chen Hongxia didn't expect that she would hear such news today. The news was told to her by the person who went to the department store.

"Really?"

Gu Qingwu pretended to be surprised and looked at Chen Hongxia, who nodded vigorously.

"It is said that he will be sent to a labor camp."

Chen Hongxia said happily that even if she was not the one who was bullied last time, she was still very angry. They were obviously the ones who spent money, but they were despised by those people. Why did they despise them who bought things? They spent money and were still despised. She didn't know how many times she had complained about it.

"Deserved it."

Gu Qingwu said with a smile, and Chen Hongxia nodded.

"That's right, what I dislike most is their arrogant look."

Chen Hongxia said happily that they probably wouldn't run into such people when they went shopping in the future. If they did, at worst, they would just make a scene like Gu Qingwu did. If the scene got out of hand and happened too many times, they would eventually become cautious.

"what happened?"

Qin Haonan heard the conversation between the two. He didn't intend to ask at first, but from what they said, he knew that Gu Qingwu was bullied. Qin Haonan's face suddenly became a little ugly.

"Nothing. I just ran into a moron when I was shopping. Now that moron is in trouble."

Gu Qingwu smiled and said that she had already taken her revenge, and now that the other party had been sentenced to forced labor on a farm, she was no longer angry.

"Oh."

When Qin Haonan heard what Gu Qingwu said, he felt depressed. Every time Gu Qingwu was bullied, he didn't know about it, and he was never able to help him get revenge personally. This feeling made him feel powerless.

"Qingqing, I heard that they are going to parade through the streets tomorrow. Should we go?"

Chen Hongxia lowered her voice and asked, "Just watch the fun, it's such a happy thing."

I just don’t know whether Gu Qingwu will go or not. If Gu Qingwu doesn’t go, it would seem boring for her to go alone.

Gu Qingwu thought about it, but still shook her head and refused.

"I'm not interested in that."

I'll take revenge with my own hands, and I won't go to watch the fun. It's crowded and boring, I might as well stay at home.

"Ok."

Chen Hongxia nodded with a little regret and accepted Gu Qingwu's choice. She didn't plan to go either.

Anyway, that couple was punished, so it doesn't matter if you didn't see it with your own eyes.

The two chatted and laughed, and in a short while, lunch was ready.

The food was ready here and people started to arrive one after another.

There were Qin Haonan's regiment commander and political commissar, the political commissar's wife, several of Qin Haonan's subordinates, and several of his comrades-in-arms at the same level. Qin Haonan did not invite people from other regiments, not because they were stingy, but because there was no need.

They did not come empty-handed. Some came with thermos, some with washbasins, and some with pillowcases.

Seeing them holding things, Gu Qingwu felt a little embarrassed.

Qin Haonan didn't feel embarrassed at all. He took the things from everyone with a smile.

After asking everyone to sit down, Gu Qingwu and Chen Hongxia were busy serving the dishes.

Since they all came with their wives, Gu Qingwu divided the dishes into two portions, with more for the men and less for the women. It wasn't that she valued men more or anything, she just felt that men could eat more than women.

As for herself, she planned to eat some dried meat after everyone left. As for where the dried meat came from, Gu Qingwu said that there was still some in stock in the space, and she would not let herself go. "Congratulations."

After all the dishes were served, Mu Weidong was the first to raise his glass, and everyone else also raised their glasses and said congratulations.

Qin Haonan smiled and said he was happy for you, and everyone drank it up.

Watching the men drinking, Gu Qingwu began to greet the sisters-in-law. These people were older than her, so she simply called them sisters-in-law.

With Chen Hongxia also present, the atmosphere at the women's table was also quite good.

Everyone was not familiar with Gu Qingwu. One reason was that Gu Qingwu didn't like going out, and the other was that they heard that Gu Qingwu had a bad temper and looked down on everyone except Chen Hongxia.

Now, they realized that they had been deceived by those rumors and that Gu Qingwu just didn't like to talk.

It cannot be said that Gu Qingwu doesn’t like to talk, but the thousands of years she has spent in the world of cultivation has made her no longer like to speak.

She also likes to talk, but she feels that talking to some people is boring and she doesn't know what to say.

She likes gossip, so she smiled as she watched the people at the table talking about some gossip about the family compound.

Whose family likes to beat their children for no reason, who’s couple has a fight in the middle of the night, who’s couple makes too much noise when doing something in the middle of the night.

Gu Qingwu was stunned after hearing this. How could such a thing be talked about?
However, she did not show it too obviously. She just listened. Anyway, she was only going to greet these people once today, and she would not greet them again unless there were special circumstances. So Gu Qingwu just let them do as they pleased.

Chen Hongxia also told the story of the salesperson in the department store, and everyone was very excited.

As for the men, they were eating and drinking, and some of them even praised Gu Qingwu for her good cooking skills.

Gu Qingwu pretended not to hear, since she was sitting at the women's table anyway.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, it was already two or three in the afternoon.

The men had almost finished drinking, and the women helped Gu Qingwu clean up the dishes and then followed their men home.

"Are you OK?"

Seeing that Qin Haonan’s face turned red from drinking, Gu Qingwu poured him a glass of water.

Qin Haonan took the water, but he didn't drink it. Instead, he stared at Gu Qingwu.

"what happened?"

Seeing Qin Haonan's eyes wide open, Gu Qingwu looked at Qin Haonan worriedly.

"Wife, I'm sorry that I wasn't there for you every time you were bullied."

Qin Haonan looked at Gu Qingwu with a face full of guilt. He really felt sorry for Gu Qingwu, but Gu Qingwu was not that angry.

"It's okay. It's nothing."

What could Gu Qingwu say? Could she say that every time she was bullied, she retaliated on the spot?

Since I can't say that, I can only comfort Qin Haonan first. Qin Haonan still feels sad.

He put down the teacup in his hand, took Gu Qingwu's hand, and before Gu Qingwu could react, he hugged Gu Qingwu in his arms.

Gu Qingwu subconsciously wanted to struggle, but she was held tightly by Qin Haonan. Especially when she struggled, Qin Haonan held her even tighter, so Gu Qingwu stopped struggling.

She let Qin Haonan hold her, with his chin resting on Gu Qingwu's shoulder. The two of them hugged each other quietly, and time seemed to have stopped at this moment.
