Back to 1993

"Aunt Chen, give her 30 yuan." The little boy interrupted the woman's complaint.

The woman seemed to have been hit by a cup, and without asking why, she took out 30 yuan, handed it to the female stall owner, and then ran away with the little boy.

While running, the little boy turned his head and shouted, "The skirt is for you. My name is Du Junsheng. What's your name?"

Xiao Xiao stared blankly, at such a young age, she still couldn't understand what happened.

After collecting the money, the female stall owner couldn't help but take off her skirt, stuffed it into Gu Zhengdong's arms, and then hid behind the shelf and couldn't come out.

Gu Zhengdong thought this little boy named Du Junsheng was quite funny, he memorized these three words firmly, and he just wanted to repay him in the future.

Putting on a princess dress, Xiao Xiao looks like a little fairy, turning heads everywhere she goes.

The rest are the necessities of life, and this money cannot be saved.

Gu Zhengdong bought towels and toothbrushes for everyone, as well as toothpaste and soap, and finally bought a bag of lime for painting the walls, leaving only the cost of a meal.

"Dad, let's save some money, cook the noodles yourself, and don't eat steamed buns." Longlong felt that this father was good at everything, but he spent a lot of money.

Gu Zhengdong saw his worries, so he took out the remaining money and handed it to him.

"Longlong, from now on, you can take care of the money, this is the head office."

Longlong nodded seriously.

In the afternoon, he was not in a hurry to work, and let the three children play at home first, and he took Xiaoqiang to school.

When he was working at the school that day, he noticed that there was a female teacher named Zhang who was very enthusiastic.So the guard mentioned Teacher Zhang's name.

"There are about a dozen teachers surnamed Zhang in this school!" the guard was delighted.

"He looks fair and clean, wears glasses, is a little fat, and has a mole on his mouth." Gu Zhengdong compared.

"That's not coming!" The guard pointed with his finger.

"Mr. Zhang, I'm looking for you, I want to ask you for something!" Gu Zhengdong rushed up one step at a time.

"It's you, Comrade Parents, I remember you, what's the matter?" Teacher Zhang was still very enthusiastic.

"That's right. This is my neighbor's child. His grandma passed away. I'm taking care of him now. Look, he's ten years old and hasn't gone to school yet."

Gu Zhengdong handed over Xiaoqiang's household registration booklet, Teacher Zhang flipped through it, and understood the child's situation, his eyes turned red.

"It's past the admissions time, but your situation is special, so leave it to me, and I'll handle it for you. I happen to be in charge of the first grade, so leave the child to me."

"Thank you so much!" Gu Zhengdong really wanted to kneel down for her, he met a good person.

After returning from school, Gu Zhengdong trotted all the way. He was in a hurry to go home and work. It was very hot these days, which was suitable for wall painting. It would be a disaster if it caught up with the rainy season.

Lime already has the function of sterilization and disinfection. Disinfecting the house is good for children's health.

As soon as he entered the hospital, he felt that the atmosphere was not right. The three children were all serious and stood still, not daring to move.

Only then did Gu Zhengdong realize that there were two more women in the yard.

"I'm director Feng of the neighborhood committee, who are you?"

This sentence stopped Gu Zhengdong from asking.

That's right, who is he? He is not on the household registration, and he is not a familiar face. In this era when the turnover of people is not very large, he is considered to be wandering.

"He is my uncle, my baby is dead, my uncle came to take us." Xiao Ming said ahead of Gu Zhengdong.

Gu Zhengdong found that these children had a strong desire to survive, and their emotional intelligence was also extremely high. It may be that the living conditions were too difficult, and they were all trying to survive.

"Your uncle?" Director Feng was dubious.

"What about the things in this courtyard?" The other woman who came with Director Feng was the deputy director, and her focus was a little different.

"When my aunt was here, the yard was full of piles, which caused a lot of trouble to the neighbors, and I was also very disturbed. Now that they have been cleaned up, don't they have to paint the walls? I won't bother everyone in the future."

Gu Zhengdong said these few words very well, and the deputy director nodded in approval when he heard it.

"It's a good thing. People come here to complain every day, and our ears are all worn out."

"The two directors are here!" As soon as the door opened, another old lady came in, holding a small basin in her hand.

"Aunt Bai, you don't have to complain now." The deputy director smiled.

"Isn't that right? This young man is nice. He worked all night last night, and I listened to him." Grandma Bai laughed.

"I'm sorry to disturb your rest." When Gu Zhengdong heard this, he knew that he was a neighbor, so he put his hands together and bowed.

"It's so strange! You don't know, I've been choking on the smell for so many years, and I finally have a way to survive, let alone you working all night, even if you call me to help, I have to come." Grandma Bai smiled heartily. He said, and handed the basin forward, "Here are the vegetable dumplings I steamed. I'm afraid you don't have time to cook, so let the child take a bite first."

"Thank you so much!" Gu Zhengdong didn't expect that there was a surprise, so he thanked him repeatedly.

"Why didn't I see the boss?" Grandma Bai glanced, but Xiaoqiang was not seen.

"Let me be sent to school. My aunt was also a little confused when she was here. How can I not send my child to school?" Gu Zhengdong hurriedly explained.

"Did you send Xiaoqiang to school?" Director Feng asked in surprise.

"These are all going to school, take your time, things are a little urgent, I need to slow down." Gu Zhengdong needs time.

"Then you are really not at fault, that's all, we can rest assured that we will hand over the child to you. Don't be embarrassed to find us if you have any difficulties." Director Feng's attitude turned 180 degrees.

Gu Zhengdong didn't expect to pass the test so easily.

In the afternoon he cleaned the walls, and in the evening, Grandma Bai sent me a meal, which saved me the trouble of cooking, and brought out water to clean the glass.

"Little Gu, don't be so messy, no!" Grandma Bai shouted at the door.

Gu Zhengdong didn't know what she was going to do, so he saw Grandma Bai running fast, and when she came back, she had an extra bag of things in her hand.

"This is soda. You boil water and wipe it with lye. The glass is rusted. Men can't work." Grandma Bai smiled while covering her toothless mouth.

Gu Zhengdong smiled embarrassingly. Sure enough, this method was good, and the windows were wiped clean.

Grandma Bai was really a warm-hearted person. She went into the room and walked around, then came over with another bag.

"This is an old thing I saved. Don't dislike it. I don't think you even have a quilt. Let's deal with it first."

How can Gu Zhengdong dislike it? It's too late to be grateful. Life is getting more and more decent, and he is full of hope for the future.

"Uncle! I'm out of school!" Xiaoqiang rushed in, took off a schoolbag from his neck, and showed it to Gu Zhengdong as if it were a treasure.

"Where did this come from?"

Gu Zhengdong was surprised, he hadn't bought stationery for Xiaoqiang yet.

"Teacher Zhang gave me a stationery box, a notebook and a pen!" Xiaoqiang was so beautiful that his nose was about to boil.

The children gathered around at once, and all reached out to touch it.

"Little Gu, let me give you an idea. Look, you don't even have a table in this room. The neighborhood over there is about to be relocated. Do you want to collect some things?"

"Okay!" Gu Zhengdong's eyes lit up when he heard this, it was Grandma Bai who pointed out a way for him to make money.
