Road to Rebirth

Chapter 207
The car is parked outside the yard, mainly because there is no room for two cars in the yard.

Gu Ruhai opened the car door and let the old man and old lady get out of the car.

The old man is on crutches, but walking is absolutely fine, and the old lady's arms don't need to be hung anymore, as long as they still need to be raised, it's nothing serious.

When I came down to see the folks, I also greeted them with a smile. This spirit is different, after all, this is my hometown.

Gu Ruhai didn't send the old man and the others to the Gu family's old house, but just wanted to let the old man and the old lady live here in the future. The house here has been empty and no one lives in it. It's better to let the old couple live, which is still a little popular and comfortable.

It's not that Gu Ruhai doesn't have long-term intentions, he doesn't care about the past so much, he is a father and son, and there is no wrong parent in the world.

It's not that heinous, how many sons and daughters will forgive in the end.

So Gu Ruhai unconsciously made a mistake.

Li Xuemei didn't like this either.

Gu Xiaoqing, Gu Xiaoying, Gu Xiaojie, they are all grown-ups too, what can they do in the face of their changed grandparents.

So that's how it's settled.

Li Xuemei, Gu Xiaoying, Gu Xiaoqing and Aunt Zhang helped, and quickly cleaned up all the rooms on the first floor, so that even if the old man and the old lady wanted to take a rest, they would have a place to rest.

Gu Ruhai, Mr. Gu and the old lady were sitting in the yard. The village head, Gu Changhai, and many old people from the village had come and were talking to the three of them in the yard.

Gu Ruhai took out a pair of Hongtashan, unwrapped it, opened the box to loose cigarettes, one for each person, lit it, and everyone started chatting in a fog.

Li Xuemei and the others here have also packed up.

The rooms on the second floor are all packed.

Gu Ruhai called two people to help carry the TV in, and many people came up to help put up the antenna. Looking at the tall antenna on the roof, the villagers were envious.

Several families in the village have become rich and bought TV sets.

But it made people rare for a long time.

But those were black and white televisions.

It was already a big deal in the village, but looking at Gu Ruhai's place now, the first thing he took out was a color TV, and it was still a 21-inch TV. This was something that even the wealthiest people at that time dared not buy.

If you can't afford it, you don't have a place to buy it.

There is no supply and marketing cooperative in the village, and it is impossible to have a supply and marketing cooperative in the town. The toll fee in the county is so high.

It's not always in stock, and it's basically a daily thing, and it's all sold out internally, and people outside can't buy it regardless.

Everyone is envious.

Looking at the excitement, people have dispersed, and they can't stay in other people's yards all the time.

Gu Ruhai and Li Xuemei were helped by Aunt Zhang. Aunt Zhang brought white noodles from her own house for food, and some vegetables were picked up from each family's field. Some were given by this family, and some were given by other houses, which was quite a lot.

Settle down two old people.

Aunt Zhang has been helping here all the time, and she didn't go home.

At noon, Li Xuemei left Aunt Zhang to eat here.

It turned out that Aunt Zhang's mother-in-law, Grandma Zhang, passed away last year, and there were only Aunt Zhang and Brother Zhang left in the family. Zhang Xiaojie went to elementary school in a neighboring village and did not come back at noon.

There is basically no one at home.

Brother Zhang is also working in a county outside, working as a bricklayer for others to earn some pocket money.

Only come back during the holidays.

While eating, Li Xuemei happened to think about the babysitter, so she said to Aunt Zhang: "Sister-in-law, your house is not busy, and once the work in the field is over, there is nothing to do, why don't you find something to earn money?" Do your job well, and subsidize the family a little bit."

He didn't speak hastily, but he didn't know if Aunt Zhang had ready-made work, so he couldn't delay her work.

Aunt Zhang put down the bowl and said: "Xuemei, you don't know that the women in our village are all guarding the house, and the men are on the go. What can I do as a woman in the village? It’s farming, taking care of the children, that is, Zhang Xiaojie is still young and cannot do without others, and there is no helper at home, so I can only take it with me, or you think I don’t want to go to the county to find someone to do it.”

Sighed.

Thanks to the fact that the two boys in the family worked at Gu Ruhai's place, otherwise they would have been killed by bricklayers in the county.

Li Xuemei tentatively asked: "Sister-in-law, I have something to tell you here. You can see if it's suitable. If you think it's okay, then do it. If you don't think it's suitable, we won't force it."

After all, people were willing to do this, mainly because they were worried that no woman would be willing to be contaminated by Old Madam Gu's reputation for being aggressive.

Aunt Zhang was overjoyed, and said: "Tell me, sister, I know there must be some work for me to earn money. I will definitely do what I can, and I won't slap my face and pretend to be fat."

Li Xuemei and Gu Ruhai are both kind people, and they usually don't do deceitful things.

Aunt Zhang still understands this.

That is, every year when the two sons come back during the Chinese New Year, Gu Ruhai and Li Xuemei will ask them to bring back schoolbags, notebooks and pencil cases for Gu Xiaojie. Thinking about their family.

"It's like this. You all know about my family. Who in this village doesn't know what's going on. My mother-in-law and father-in-law are also getting old, and they always have a crooked body. You can see that too. The old man is much better, but he still needs someone to take care of him.

But the two younger uncles in my family, you know, can't be counted on.Gu Ruhai and I discussed and thought about spending money to hire someone in the village to take care of the old man and the old lady's three meals a day, as well as the cleaning and cleaning. If someone is sick, it would be considered a call to us Someone is watching.

We can rest assured in the city, otherwise we would feel uneasy if we put the two old people here. "

Li Xuemei expressed her thoughts.

After hearing this, Aunt Zhang said: "No wonder, I haven't seen Gu Rushan of yours recently, but I came back a few days ago, but they said they found a rich business in the city. Very. We thought we were following you.

I'm capable of this job, isn't it just cleaning up, cooking a meal or something.Anyway, I have nothing to do by myself, but I am afraid that your old lady's temperament, you know, is not easy to get along with, and when the time comes to pick thorns or something, don't say that I don't do my best. "

This is ugly to say before.
