Back to 1993

Seeing her going out, Gu Zhengdong took a deep breath, not wanting the room to be filled with the smell of her inferior perfume, which made him almost vomit, and he rushed out the door.

What's the matter?

Fortunately, the receiving site is operating normally, and the pillars are managed very carefully. The funeral boy is worried, so he comes to visit from time to time.

Gu Zhengdong didn't want to stay here for a long time, he was afraid that Director Xu would make trouble again.Today is rare early, he plans to go home and have a good meal with the children.

Now that the children are all in the care of Grandma Bai, he doesn't need to worry about it, and he always feels guilty.

Just passing by the non-staple food market, he turned in.

It's not off-duty time, and the grocery store is deserted.

Gu Zhengdong remembered that Grandma Bai said she wanted to eat fermented bean curd, so she went to the pickle counter first.

"Fifth a piece." The waiter opened the jar and asked him.

"Come four pieces, add some soup." The waiter took out four pieces of fermented bean curd, added a few spoonfuls of soup with a small spoon, and then tied the bag and handed it over.Gu Zhengdong took out two pieces of wool and put them on the counter.

Seeing a customer coming, everyone in the room followed him.

Gu Zhengdong bravely walked to the cooked food counter. On the plate was a piece of pork head, a few pieces of swarthy pork liver, and the sausages were all soggy, which looked stale at first glance.

No way, the conditions are like this now.Gu Zhengdong still weighed a piece of pork liver, the current pork is still healthy, and the children need iron supplementation.

During this period of time, he ate well, and the children's faces were smooth. He must continue to work hard.

In fact, now is a good season in Northeast China, and the vegetables are all down, but Gu Zhengdong is too lazy to do it, and he doesn’t want to make Grandma Bai work hard, so he simply bought another bottle of canned pacific fruit, a bottle of herring in tomato sauce, and finally ordered a Merlin luncheon meat .

Weighing it in your hand is also rich enough.

When he got home, Grandma Bai was not there, and the yards on both sides were locked.

According to the time, Grandma Bai went to pick up the children.The old man is impatient, so he has to pay the amount in advance, and wait early.

Rice has been prepared in the pot, and potatoes and beans are stewed. A few slices of meat are mixed in, and it smells delicious.

Gu Zhengdong washed his hands and came over to take care of the dishes. He patted a cucumber and mixed a tomato. The table was full.

At this time, there was a chattering sound outside the courtyard. It was the children who had returned, and they seemed to be in a good mood.

"Father is back!" Xiaoxiao, with sharp eyes, ran in first.

Gu Zhengdong hurriedly got up to meet him, copied it under Xiao Xiao's armpit, picked it up and threw it to the sky.

Xiaoxiao giggled.

"Ma'am, I'll buy some ready-made ones and a bottle of wine, would you like to have a sip?" Gu Zhengdong smiled at Grandma Bai.

When I was chatting with Grandma Bai before, I heard her say that when the old man was around, the two of them would sometimes have a drink, which is a bit of a drinker, so today I specially bought a bottle of Beida Cang.

This wine is not as punchy as Erguotou, but relatively soft.

"This dish! Is this a holiday?" Grandma Bai smiled when she heard that she wanted a drink.

The whole family sat down together. In fact, the children had eaten in the afternoon in the kindergarten. They just played like crazy. They ran around and had some free time in their stomachs. Seeing that they were all delicious food, they followed suit.

Gu Zhengdong dug out two small wine bells from the cabinet, both of which were one or two cups, made of fine white porcelain, painted with pictures of blooming rich peonies.

These are all recovered things. He likes them, so he puts them away and uses them himself.

The two women each filled a glass, took a sip casually, and chatted slowly while eating the food.

"Oh, Xiao Gu, you said it was God's arrangement to send you here, otherwise I would not die of aggrieved, but also die alone."

Gu Zhengdong hurriedly comforted, "What are you talking about? Didn't you say that you take me as your son? I'm here, what are you talking about lonely!"

"I'm so busy now, I'm busy every day!" Grandma Bai laughed when she heard what he said.

Grandma Bai has a pair of sons and daughters. The daughter went to school outside, but she got married and never came back.The son was transferred to Sichuan to support the industry in the south.I was going to pick up Grandma Bai, but she ran back after staying for the first half of the year. She couldn't speak the language, wasn't used to life, and couldn't stay any longer.

After all, she is 70 years old. Although she is in good health, it is still inconvenient to live alone. Now there are Gu Zhengdong and four children, which completely disrupts her life.

But she wasn't unhappy at all. This kind of feeling of being full of children and grandchildren is what the older generation of Chinese want.

No matter how filial your children are, what is the use if you are not around?

"Mom, it's inside." A familiar voice came from the door, it was Huo Xiaojiao.

Gu Zhengdong was so frightened that he stood up in such a hurry that he almost knocked over the table.

The children were also nervous, and they all looked towards the door.

"Grandma!" Xiao Xiao was the smartest. Seeing Min Lan come in, she slid off the bench and rushed over with her hands tied.

Min Lan picked up Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao kissed her on the cheek, and said loudly, "Grandma, I miss you!"

Who can bear this, Min Lan's eye sockets are moist.

"Grandma misses you too. It's not like I stopped at your house for a walk. Didn't Xiao Gu bother you? The three of us went for a walk by the river. Xiaojiao said that your house lives near here. I think I'm small, so I'll come and see Look." Min Lan explained.

"Come in, please, sit down!" Gu Zhengdong was busy telling the guests, the children were sensible, and moved all the benches over.

Director Huo followed behind all the time, looked around the small room, showed a satisfied expression, and sat down.

"This is jasmine tea!" Grandma Bai understood when she saw Huo Xiaojiao coming in, and hurried back to the room to make tea and bring it over.

"Thank you, Aunt Bai." Huo Xiaojiao hurriedly took it.

"This is Mrs. Bai who lives next door. She is very kind to us. She helps me take care of the children, just like my mother." Gu Zhengdong introduced.

Min Lan knew at a glance that the old man was very honest and good-looking, so she pulled Grandma Bai to sit beside her.

"It's not easy for Xiao Gu. I take care of four children by myself. I can help as much as I can, and I'm free." Grandma Bai has always been able to talk, and she kept praising Gu Zhengdong. What should Xiao Ming do?"

"What grade are you in?" Director Huo asked Xiaoqiang, seeing his homework on the table, he took it over and looked at it.

Xiaoqiang's eyes were so frightened that he stared at him carefully, trying to escape but not daring.

"Don't scare the child." Min Lan saw it and said angrily.

"Study hard, this is not for fun, this question is wrong, rewrite it." Director Huo is meticulous in studying medicine.

Gu Zhengdong couldn't help but hold back his laughter, Xiaoqiang was a bit stubborn, he didn't listen to him, he always played tricks, now he encountered a problem.

Xiaoqiang didn't dare to refute, so he took the notebook and recalculated.

"Look, how clever! Be serious and you'll be right soon! Don't let me catch you sloppy in the future!"

"Grandpa, what will happen if you catch it?" Xiao Xiao asked curiously, tilting her head.

"If you catch it, then..." Director Huo was stopped by the question. Everyone in the room stared at him to see how he descended the steps, and no one wanted to save him.

"Just give him an injection!" Director Huo finally found a way.Even Gu Zhengdong couldn't help it now, and laughed out loud.

Several people were talking and laughing, time passed quickly, and it was getting dark in a blink of an eye.

Min Lan had no choice but to stand up reluctantly, the three of them went out, and Gu Zhengdong took the children to the entrance of the alley.

"Go back, there are mosquitoes. If you have time, take the children there to play, and bring them with you!" Director Huo said, pointing to Xiaoqiang, "You also bring your homework."

Xiaoqiang shrank his neck in fright.

"Aren't you little dad?" Suddenly a figure rushed over.
