Chapter 8: Old Gu Yi first

Chapter 8: Old Gu Yi first

In the dormitory of the labor farm.

Cheng Guangbai was indeed very ill.

The gray-haired old man was lying on a bed made of straw, with his eyes closed and his mouth open, panting violently, with an abnormal flush on his face.

Chen Yue reached out and probed.

His forehead was terribly hot.

"Brother Yue, you are here."

It was Cheng Guangbai's young grandson, who was only in his teens and was only as tall as Chen Yue's shoulders.

The little boy was probably frightened, and there was a hint of panic in his clear eyes.

Chen Yue touched his head, and his tone was rare.

"Don't be afraid, the old gentleman will be fine. I have already written a letter to Jingli, I will find the medicine in the past two days, and I will deliver it to you as soon as possible."

Zhang Chao, who was standing beside him, was terrified.

Usually the boss has a straight face and gives orders, and this is the first time he has seen the boss so gentle.

Chen Yue glanced at him lightly, and Zhang Chao immediately straightened his face.

Cheng Guangbai and Chen Yue's grandfather are close friends, so he should call Cheng Guangbai grandpa, but now Cheng Guangbai is still in a coma, so he doesn't need to pay attention to these polite manners for the time being.

Fortunately, the farm that Cheng Guangbai delegated was within the reach of Chen Yue. He said that he should protect and cure people, otherwise he would go back and face his old man.

Cheng Baiji nodded, his unease slightly dissipated.

"Where's your sister?"

Chen Yue glanced around, but did not see Cheng Baiying.

Cheng Baiji and Cheng Baiying are two brothers and sisters, and they followed Mr. Cheng to rebuild this farm.

The Cheng family members are all strong-willed, if it wasn't for Cheng Lao who suddenly fell ill and couldn't get up, the two younger ones would not take the initiative to contact Chen Yue.

Cheng Baiji: "My sister went to get warm water, she said she wanted to physically cool grandpa."

The ancestors of the Cheng family have always studied medicine. In the Laogai farm, no matter who is sick or where the pain is, it is definitely right to look for Cheng Guangbai.

Cheng Guangbai stood out, after all, he was the Big Dipper of Mount Tai in the medical world.

Too bad doctors don't heal themselves.

When he fell ill, the two children panicked and couldn't see a doctor for him at all.

As a forced labor prisoner sent here, it is not so easy for Cheng Guangbai to seek medical treatment.

The course of his disease was developing very fast, and it was aggressive. The military doctor who accompanied the army had seen it and felt helpless.

If it wasn't for Cheng Guangbai's half-consciousness, he gave himself a post of medicine, and he didn't even have a direction.

"Brother Chen Yue, you are here."

Cheng Baiying, who was holding a water basin, came in from the outside and saw Chen Yue, tall and tall, and suddenly seemed to have seen the backbone.

Chen Yue nodded in agreement, and asked a few more questions about Mr. Cheng's condition. He didn't stay much longer and left the farm soon.

Cheng Baiying stared at the back of his leaving, and did not return to her senses for a long time.

"Sister... Do you like my brother Yue?"

Cheng Baiji saw it and asked in a low voice.

Cheng Baiying shook her head, but she didn't deny it in her heart, "At the moment, Grandpa's illness is the most important thing, nothing else matters. If even Grandpa is gone..."

Cheng Baiying frowned, not daring to think further.

Their Cheng family consists of more than a dozen people, and now there are only grandfather and their sister and brother left. As for her mother who remarried as soon as she heard the news, let's not mention it.

Hearing her tone was wrong, Cheng Baiji looked at her suspiciously, "Sister, you really went to fetch water just now? We have a well next door, why does it take so long."

"Just to get the water."

Cheng Baiying cut off his words, obviously unwilling to talk any more.

Beijing City, the old Gu family.

Gu Si, carrying a messenger bag and an envelope in his hand, hurried into the courtyard, with a hint of joy on his fair and round face.

"Dad, Mom, come out and see what I got?"

Gu Guoqiang came out of the room with his hands behind his back, and before he saw anyone, he said the words of rebuke first.

"No matter what you get, keep your focus, don't make such a fuss, what does it look like."

"Yes, yes, Dad, am I not happy?"

Gu Guoqiang is a very traditional person and doesn't like children making noises. He said this, Gu Si is obviously used to it, she walked into the room briskly and was not affected by him at all.

Fan Jufang heard in the kitchen that the two of them had stopped, and reached out to wipe the apron and hurriedly walked out.

"You do too, Lao Gu. You don't understand Xiao Si's temperament. If it's not a big deal, would you be so oblivious?"

Gu Guoqiang took the enamel jar and took a sip of strong tea before saying, "Then tell me, what's the joy of it?"

Gu Si stood still, looked around on the faces of the two old men, and deliberately sold off.

"Guess what."

"You like to talk or not."

Gu Guoqiang snorted and spat out the tea foam in his mouth.

Gu Si pursed his lips and handed the envelope forward in his hand.

"As soon as I arrived at the unit this morning, I heard from the uncle guard that there was a letter from me. When I saw it, wasn't it written in Nian Nian's handwriting? After work, I didn't delay at all. I came here. You two are good old people. Arrange."

"I didn't say anything to you."

Fan Jufang was talking, staring straight at the envelope.

Gu Guoqiang didn't even drink tea this time, he took the envelope and opened it three or two times.

Fan Jufang waited for him to read the letter, but he held it in his hand for a long time without saying a word.

"Hey, you old man, you said, what's wrong with Niannian?"

"See for yourself."

Gu Si also came over and looked over his head.

Gu Nian's letter was very simple. She only said that she felt that the package she received recently was not right, and asked for a list of the things she wanted at home. It is best to make a detailed list of all the things that have been sent from her home since she went to the countryside, and finally let them Take care of yourself and it's gone.

Fan Jufang watched it from top to bottom, and again and again, without saying anything about her situation.

Her hands were shaking in anger. "This girl is still talking to her family. It's been a long time. After finally writing a letter back, she won't talk about her current situation, how is she doing, how is the environment there... ."

This time, she blamed Gu Nian by mistake, and changed the core. How could Gu Nian play the childlike temper like the original owner, she really didn't know how to write it, so she just got down to business.

"You want to know? Then let me tell you, there is no good place to go to the countryside. Go up the mountain, go down to the ground, you usually don't want her to wash the dishes, so go there, so don't do it yourself, and you will definitely feel bitter in your mouth. "

Gu Guoqiang works in the factory committee and has dealt with many people. He naturally understands what a place to go to the countryside should be like.

There was also a child from the factory committee in Qiantouyuan. In order to make him go to the countryside to endure hardship, he was forced to take medicine, which damaged his stomach.

When it’s time to go to the countryside, go to the factory office to put the child on the collar, and no one can say anything about letting him go to the countryside.

This is also why the family tightens their belts. Let's not talk about anything else. When the salary is paid, the first thing to do is to send money to my daughter.

I just hope she can live more comfortably in the country.

Judging from the meaning of the daughter's letter, the items and the money tickets probably don't match.

Gu Guoqiang raised his mind again.

"Wait at the door. The boss is here and told him to come over to see me quickly. The father and son will sum it up, write the list quickly, and send it to your sister."

"okay."

Gu Si responded and walked halfway, but his steps slowed down.

"I'm afraid that my sister-in-law heard it and thought you were asking them for wages..."

The salary is paid to think about the younger sister first, which is a decision made by the family together.

Everyone accepted it well, but the sister-in-law had opinions in her heart, and she often brought out some points when she spoke.

Gu Guoqiang said in a deep voice, "Our family is still in charge of the master, and you can go as soon as you want."

Gu Si stuck out his tongue and ran to the courtyard in three or two steps.

"It's not surprising that the eldest daughter-in-law has an idea. Da Mao and Er Mao are now three or four years old, and it is time to spend money..." Fan Jufang sighed.

Gu Guoqiang stared at him and said in a deep voice, "That shouldn't be put on the bright side. The grandson is also the grandson of our Gu family. Which one doesn't hurt? Even if the second child gets married and has a child in the future, you have to take care of Nian Nian first. It's not that I didn't know, at the beginning..."

"I know I know, stop talking, the children will be back later."

Fan Jufang looked inside and out, but she didn't see Gu Si's shadow, so she let out a long sigh.

This Gu Nian was not idle while waiting for a reply.

Together with Qian Ximei and several other educated youths, they opened a small vegetable plot in the small courtyard of the educated youth institute.

"Gu Nian, you are still smart. Let's sprinkle some rapeseeds casually. In winter, no matter what it is, we can always get some harvest."

Yu Jun was sweating profusely. Hearing what Qian Ximei said, his eyes lit up a bit.

He slammed his mouth twice, "If the captain is willing to let us have two chickens in the courtyard..."

Qian Ximei glared at him, "Don't dream, you, this place, was made by Gu Nian and the old captain for a long time."

Gu Nian smiled and did not participate in the topic.

If she hadn't found out that the land was not right and tried to persuade the old captain, the old captain would not have approved such a small piece of land.

The place is small, but it does not hinder experimentation.

Gu Nian is still very satisfied.

"Hey, I just want to eat meat."

"It's not easy to want to eat meat. Go and talk to Lily. Maybe she will buy us another knife of meat?"

Jiang Yaping came out of it, happened to hear this, and replied without thinking.

"You are embarrassed to always care about others asking for food, but we are embarrassed."

"Hey, what do you mean, I'm not for everyone..."

Sun Hong looked at her out of the corner of her eye and sneered, "Don't use us as a raft."

"you-"

The two almost quarreled.

At this moment, a tall and strong young man came in outside the door, with a dark face full of embarrassment, "Is Wang Zhiqing here? I have something to do with her."

The person here is the eldest son of the captain's family, his name is Zhang Chunlai. I heard that he works in a renovated farm not far away. He has a fixed salary and various tickets every month. It is a rare opportunity to put it in this small place. Good job.

Many big girls in the village are staring at Zhang Chunlai, but unfortunately he doesn't seem to be enlightened, and the girls' winks are thrown at the blind man.

Jiang Yaping actually had some meaning in her heart. Every time she saw him, she would lean over to talk to him, but Zhang Chunlai always ignored him when he didn't reply.

This time, he actually came to look for Wang Lili?

Jiang Yaping felt a little uncomfortable.

She shaved her hair, walked a few steps into the courtyard, and faced them face to face.

Zhang Chunlai was so frightened that he took a few steps back.

Gu Nian watched, if it wasn't for the news of Wang Lili in the future, this little brother would have run away long ago.

"Are you looking for Lily? She's not here. She went shopping with Zhao Zhiqing in the town. If you have any business, the same is true for me."

"Oh, thank you, then I'll go to the village and wait."

Zhang Chunlai directly ignored her second half sentence and left without looking back.

"You man, I tell you, looking for me is the same..."

Jiang Yaping shouted at people's backs, making all the educated youths in the courtyard laugh.

Gu Nian was curious, what did that person do to Wang Lili.

Everyone knows that Wang Lili's "family" will send her money or borrow it?

But Zhang Chunlai also has a salary himself, so he shouldn't be guilty.

Is it asking Wang Lili's "family" to do something?

Then he was probably wrong.

If Wang Lili got all the money from the original owner, she doesn't have the face to write to the original owner's house and ask them to do something.

Looking at Zhang Chunlai's appearance, he seems to be in a hurry...

Afraid of what life-threatening event?

Gu Nian thought about it for a while, but still raised his heels.
