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

Chapter 93 Educating My Son
"I don't care what your plans are for the future, I will definitely follow you."

Gu Weihong made her attitude clear and signaled Gu Qing'an that he could leave. Gu Qing'an turned and left his father's room, went to the outer room, and saw his mother cooking. Lunch was corn porridge and wild vegetable dumplings. As for pancakes or steamed buns, there was none.

"Mom, are we going to eat this?"

It can be said that Gu Qing'an has never suffered from hardship since he was a child. Now if he wants to eat this thing, he really can't eat it.

“That’s not enough to eat.”

Xu Taohua said unhappily that given the current situation at home, they would have nothing to eat in a while. She couldn't go to work now, and there was not much food left at home. She now hoped that her son could bring back some food.

"what……?"

Gu Qing'an always thought that his parents were fooling him. Where was their family's previous food?
Really lost?
Why doesn't he believe it?

"If you don't believe it, go to your second uncle's house and you'll know what's going on."

Xu Taohua said unhappily. She now realized that her son didn't seem to believe them, and the way she looked at her son changed.

She knew that she was not as smart as her man. Since her man had said so, Xu Taohua decided to believe her man. Gu Qing'an noticed the change in his mother's attitude. He frowned. He didn't expect his parents' attitude to be like this. He thought he could fool his mother, but who would have thought that he failed?

Gu Qing'an went to his second uncle's house in a bad mood. When he saw the place where only a pit was left, he showed a look of surprise. Even though he had heard that all the things in the house were lost, he did not expect that they would be lost so completely. At this moment, he clearly realized that they really had nothing now.

Since my second uncle's house was lost so completely, how could there be no things missing from my grandparents' house? As for what was lost, he didn't know yet. He walked around my second uncle's house and found that there was really nothing here. He frowned and went home with a frown.

"There is no money or food left at home. I can't go to work now. Your grandparents are still in bed, and there is also your father. I have to take care of the three of them. If our family doesn't send someone to work, I guess the villagers will be unhappy."

Thinking about how tired she had been during this period, Xu Taohua decided to let her son go to work first. Otherwise, they would not know where to get food for the winter.

Gu Qing'an narrowed his eyes and looked at his mother.

Xu Taohua didn't dare to look into Gu Qing'an's eyes, she avoided looking away.

"I'll find a way."

Gu Qing'an narrowed his eyes and decided to send a telegram to Gu Qingwu first. As for writing a letter, the telegram was faster than the letter.

If Gu Qingwu doesn't give the money, the letter that follows will give Gu Qingwu a headache.

Yes, Gu Qingan planned to write the second letter to Qin Haonan.

He wanted to make things clear about his grandparents' affairs. Not a penny less should be given by Gu Qingwu. Now that his second uncle and second aunt were gone, he had to give them their share as well.

Gu Qingwu didn't know what Gu Qingan was thinking. If she knew, she would definitely laugh at Gu Qingan.

She was also asked to give money to those two old folks for their retirement. If it weren't for them fighting for food, how could the original owner's parents have died?
They indirectly killed the original owner's parents, and they still wanted her to take care of them in their old age. Dream on. She will never agree to it, and no one's words count.

If leader Qin Haonan dared to intervene in this matter, she would ask all the married girls in the family compound to send money to their parents' home. Haha, in this era, married girls would not care about their parents' home affairs, and giving money to their parents' home would be even worse. That would be called draining the husband's family to support the husband's family, and most of the husband's families in this era would not agree to it. Gu Qing'an was smart, but he thought things were too simple. He thought that as long as he made a fuss, leader Qin Haonan would be forced to pay under pressure. He didn't think about the many married family members in the family compound. If those leaders forced her to pay, what about the rest of the family members in the family compound?
All I can say is that Gu Qing'an has not experienced anything and he simply doesn't understand these things.

"Well, I'm going to work. There's no food at home."

Xu Taohua said after a moment's hesitation, and Gu Qing'an paused on his way out. He really had no way to get food because he had no money and no tickets. If he wanted to get food, the formal channels were not available. He could get it on the black market, but he had no money.

"Mom, is there really no money at home?"

Gu Qing'an turned around and looked back at Xu Taohua.

When Xu Taohua heard Gu Qing'an's question, she shook her head without thinking.

"Your second uncle's house is gone. There are only some common things left in our hometown. There are only some sweet potatoes and potatoes left as food. The corn paste we eat now is borrowed from the production team."

As soon as Xu Taohua said this, Gu Qing'an's face changed again. He thought his mother was fooling him, but when he saw the look on his mother's face, Gu Qing'an knew that his mother was not lying.

"I'll go see the captain and see if I can borrow some more food!"

Gu Qing'an still decided to go find the captain. When Xu Taohua heard this, she shook her head.

"No one in our family works, so the brigade won't agree to lend us the money, and the villagers won't be happy about it."

Xu Taohua knew their current situation better than Gu Qingan. It was precisely because she knew it that she said this. Gu Qingan didn't believe that the captain would not lend them food.

"Gu Qingwu sent me some money. Can't I just use it to pay it back?"

Gu Qing'an said indifferently, it's just money, what's the big deal, as long as we can contact Gu Qingwu, we will have the money.

"You said it so lightly, will people give it to you?"

Gu Weihong, who was lying in the room, said without thinking, if that damn girl Gu Qingwu was so easy to deal with, how could she have run away, run so far, and arrive safely?

When Gu Qing'an heard this, he suddenly felt unhappy.

"Dad, Qin Haonan is still in the army. Our family is in this situation now. If he doesn't give us money, we will ask his leader to help us."

Gu Qing'an said this confidently. Gu Weihong rolled his eyes again. His son was smart, but he had too little experience.

"Have you ever seen a daughter who goes out to take care of her parents' affairs? At most, when someone in the family is in trouble, she will come to take care of them for two days and give them money. Do you think her in-laws will agree to it? Or do you think your daughter-in-law will give money to your mother-in-law every day in the future? Would you be happy?"

Gu Weihong said unhappily, how could he not realize that his son was so simple-minded. But think about it, this kid has never stayed in the village for a few days since he was a child, it is normal that he doesn't know these things.

But this doesn't mean that he doesn't need to know these things.

PS: Oh, my head hurts, not complaining, it really hurts, it hurts when the medicine takes effect, it's really terrible, and I don't know what caused it. Others have the flu, but I only have a headache, no other symptoms. The doctor refused to give me an IV drip, but only gave me some medicine. My little cuties, just bear with it~
