Chapter 216 Mother and Daughter
Although it is troublesome to go down and get it when they need it every day, it is already a very happy situation for them.
They were the five black categories and the stinking ninth category. I remember the first time I came here, in the middle of winter, Zhong Zijun finally dug through the snow and got some dead branches to heat the kang, but they were all stolen that night.
The new quilts, warm clothes and food they brought were all stolen.
That was what they felt at that time. No one would support them and would just say they deserved it.
The sky is not responding to the call, and the earth and the earth are not working.
Fortunately, there was a tattered quilt and clothes on the three people to keep out the cold.
The whole family had nothing to eat or drink, and they lay on the cold kang waiting to die.
Zhong Zijun had just been stabbed in the back by Gu Yunchuan and then faced a fierce blow in life. She was depressed and should have died that winter.
But for the sake of his old wife and daughter, Zhong Weiqian lost face and went to the village secretary to kneel down and beg for mercy, asking the village to give She some food.
The village chief had a bit of kindness in his heart, seeing that it was not easy for an old man like him, so he at least gave him 100 kilograms of potatoes, 100 kilograms of sweet potatoes and 100 kilograms of cabbage, which were the most abundant things in the village.
The three members of their family relied on these 300 kilograms of coarse grains to survive the long winter and welcome the spring.
So, now they are really content with having such a life.
Ji Linhai also helped build this cellar. Zhong Zijun could not have done it alone.
When Zhong Zijun introduced their secret base to Gu Qinghuan, he still felt a little guilty.
Thinking back carefully, Ji Linhai had actually done a lot for her quietly, but she didn't know what he was thinking at the time and accepted it as a matter of course.
Now I think about it, I feel that I have taken advantage of others and am now ungrateful, which is not very nice of me.
Gu Qinghuan had already seen a lot from Zhong Zijun's expression and eyes.
In fact, from her own perspective, she feels that it doesn't matter whether there is a man or not, a woman can live a good life on her own.
And Zhong Zijun has her daughter to help her.
But she forgot that not everyone is like her, and not everyone doesn't need a partner and companionship.
Just now, when she saw what Ji Linhai did silently for Zhong Zijun, she was moved. At the same time, she suddenly realized that no matter whether it was herself or Lan Ting, they had done too little and thought too little for Zhong Zijun.
In this long life, she should live for herself once.
It would actually be nice if there was someone who was truly good to her, who could live with her, take care of her, and accompany her until the end of her life.
In fact, Gu Qinghuan could also see these days that Ji Linhai was sincere to Zhong Zijun. The truth lies in the details, and a person's thoughts are hidden in his actions and details.
Ji Linhai might not be good at expressing himself, but he would never let Zhong Zijun suffer with him.
In fact, at their age, it is a very lucky thing to find a sincere person to spend the rest of their life with.
In particular, Ji Linhai has never been married, has no children, and his family relationships are simple, with only an old father.
It is indeed a very good candidate, but it depends on Zhong Zijun's opinion.
She didn't beat around the bush and called Zhong Zijun to a place where no one was around and asked directly, "Mom, what do you think about Uncle Ji?"
There was a hint of evasion in Zhong Zijun's eyes. Her daughter was already married, but she herself had a second love. She was a little embarrassed to face her child.
"We're fine, don't think too much about it." She said subconsciously.
“Mom, I can see that Uncle Ji is serious about you.
He is a reliable person and I have no objection if you are willing to accept him.
What I want to tell you is that no matter how old you are or what situation you are in, you have the right to pursue a good life, enjoy love and be loved.
I hope you don't have any concerns because of us. As your daughter, I will only bless you." Gu Qinghuan said seriously.
The seriousness and blessing in her daughter's eyes broke down Zhong Zijun's defenses, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.
So many years of forbearance, pain, suffering and torture have made her numb, and she would shrink like a turtle when faced with problems.
Her daughter's encouragement completely broke down the high wall she had built in her heart.
I think she was a bright and beautiful woman back then, but the years have brought too many heavy shackles to her.
Countless times in the middle of the night I woke up in dreams, hating myself for being blind and wanting to tear apart the painful past.
But she never had any regrets towards these two children. They were the last bit of salvation in her dark life.
Gu Qinghuan gently hugged her mother.
In fact, there were many times when she really wished that Zhong Zijun was her biological mother.
I can’t imagine how happy it would be to be her child.
But it doesn’t matter. It’s not too late to make up for the mother-daughter bond that you didn’t have in the first half of your life in the second half.
Zhong Zijun wiped away her tears and said a little embarrassedly: "Your uncle Ji is very good, but given our situation, it is too early to talk about this now.
Don't worry, Mom knows what she is doing and will let everything take its course."
Gu Qinghuan nodded. As long as Zhong Zijun knew her attitude, it would be fine. As for what happened between them, as a daughter, she would not interfere and would only give her blessings.
When they returned to her parents' home on the second day of the Chinese New Year, they spent the whole day in the cowshed.
Xu Huaian looked for work everywhere. After shoveling the cow dung, he melted the snow and washed the entire cowshed.
Ji Linhai carefully divided the cowshed into two areas, one side was where the livestock lived, and the other side was where people lived.
Although there is still a smell, at least it can be isolated a little and cleaned every day, so it’s actually not that bad.
Xu Huaian also helped with some hammering and repair work.
The two stayed until the afternoon before returning.
In the following days, I stayed with my children and cooked delicious meals at home.
Time passed quietly, and before we knew it, it was the tenth day of the Lunar New Year.
During this period, Xu Huaian found an opportunity to go to the county town and call Zhuo Yifan.
Zhuo Yifan was not surprised that he agreed and asked him to report to the Ministry of National Defense in Beijing after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The specific position has not been announced yet, but from what he said, he had the idea of letting him take the lead in forming a special operations team.
In short, we have to wait until it’s over to know the truth. Some things cannot be explained clearly over the phone.
This means that after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Xu Huaian will leave.
Gu Lanting and Ming Ruxue will go back to continue their classes after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Zhong Luo Ning also wants to take Xiao Youran back to Beijing to find a job.
Let's just make an appointment to go together so that we can look after each other.
The train tickets for the 16th day of the first lunar month were booked. This time, without Ming Ruxue's help, Xu Huaian took out his discharge certificate and managed to get two sleeper tickets and two hard seat tickets.
But it was enough. Zhong Luoning and Ming Ruxue could sleep in the sleeper berths, while Xu Huaian and Gu Lanting, two grown men, could sit in the hard seats.
After arranging the trip, everyone started to feel melancholy.
I want to get together like this again in the future, but I don’t know when that will be.
This period of time is really the happiest time for everyone in the past few years.
