"Yes, that Zhang Zhen, on the other hand, has a bad mind. She has been deceived by her all these years." A lesbian said disdainfully.
"How to say?"
"The day Lu Liangzhou came back with his wife and children, Zhang Zhen was not happy. She also talked in a weird manner at the dinner table. Then, she even ran back to the room without eating. Tell me, how can anyone do such a thing, even though we are a family? , but after all, we have never lived together, and we don’t even give him any face. Mr. Lu is also a good-natured man, and he is not even angry about this, so I am convinced."
"Well, either there is a stepfather when there is a stepmother."
"Don't say that. Mr. Lu is really careless in this regard. Besides, if Lu Liangzhou hadn't always called Zhang Zhen's mother, the old man wouldn't have had the courage to marry her. I heard that Zhang Zhen didn't Those who plan to remarry do so out of pity for their children.”
"Well, it's hard to say whether it's because the child is pitiful or because he has ulterior motives. Let's just wait and see."
"Okay, shut up, everyone has become a tongue-tied woman."
One elder sister said something to the other lesbians with a dark face.
Originally, Lu Liangzhou and Gu Mingtang wanted to take their children out for a few days, but that was no longer necessary now.
Lu Liangzhou was about to send Gu Mingtang to school. Gu Mingtang said that he was taking leave today and had to go to the department store to see how the sweater sales were going.
Lu Liangzhou sent her to the department store. When he got there, he remembered something and said, "I entrusted Xiao Shen with the sunflower seeds. After they are harvested and dried, they will be delivered to us according to the amount you purchased." When we go home, Dad said that he wants to rebuild the warehouse on the east side, and he happens to still have some wood on hand, so he can build some wooden frames to prevent the melon seeds from getting wet."
Lu Liangzhou is very careful, and as long as he can do it, he basically doesn't have to worry about Gu Mingtang.
As for how to deal with the melon seeds, he would not interfere.
Parking the bicycle next to him, Lu Liangzhou said, "The two children won't be back tonight. I happen to have something to do at the base. I will take care of them. Don't worry." He also rubbed Gu Mingtang's hair with a gentle voice. You haven’t had a good night’s rest, so sleep peacefully tonight.”
Gu Mingtang nodded with relief.
Lu Liangzhou still had something to do, so he gave instructions and left in a hurry.
He also took leave today.
The same goes for Gu Mingtang.
The child's symptoms were wrong, and she thought of a place that was mentioned later in the book. It was an opportunity that Shen Wan got by accident. With this opportunity, many opportunities were created for Shen Wan and Lu Yuanqi.
It also solved a lot of trouble for them.
Gu Mingtang entered the department store first.
This batch of sweaters arrived a few days ago. Now is the season. As long as nothing unexpected happens, sales should be fine.
After all, in this era, famous brands are not very important.
When I arrived at the sweater counter, I found that there were still many people queuing up.
You know, today is Monday.
I heard someone ask the salesperson, "Comrade, when will Nuanyang's women's sweaters be restocked?"
The salesperson was busy in circles. These people were queuing up and wanted to buy Nuanyang's sweater. They were told a hundred times that it was out of stock. They asked questions one by one and said angrily, "I'm a salesperson. How could I know? Just wait, actually the new products in Haicheng are pretty good too, hurry up and buy them, otherwise you won’t even have this anymore.”
Oh, they're all sold out.
Gu Mingtang felt that there was no need to go to Director Fu, Director Fu would take the initiative to find them.
Afterwards, Gu Mingtang rode towards the north of the city on his bicycle.
Halfway through the ride, Gu Mingtang stopped again. She stood under the sycamore tree on the roadside and looked northwest.
She had been there a few days ago.
I went there with a little luck.
I thought there should be a Gu family there. There should be two big stone lions at the door and a red date tree in the yard.
Under the green bricks and black tiles, there was an old man leading a little girl slowly with his hands behind his back. As he walked, he said, "Tangtang, when you grow up, if your parents give up the family business, Don’t be afraid, have you seen the big stone next to the red date tree? Knock it open and you’ll find the best purple smoke inside, enough for you to eat for ten lifetimes without having to go to work.”
Her parents were both engaged in scientific research. The apocalypse suddenly came. Her grandfather couldn't bear it and passed away. Her parents took her to the base.
I never went back to that home.
In fact, what's the use of going back? In such a hot weather, purple smoke is not as good as a bottle of mineral water.
If grandpa knew that this day would come, he would rather hide a bucket of water than purple smoke.
It's a pity that there is no Gu family in Baoxuan Hutong in this world, let alone a yard with red date trees and purple mist.
Gu Mingtang's eyes were a little moist, and he no longer looked in that direction, but continued to head north.
The distance is not very far, but the terrain here is very complicated, but Gu Mingtang only glanced outside the alley, then rode his bicycle in as if there was no one else around.
Wandering around, he stopped exactly at the door of a house.
The black painted gate has an iron ring on it. There is a persimmon tree in the yard, which is full of golden persimmons.
Some birds wanted to land and eat the persimmons, but they were chased away by a bamboo pole sticking out of the yard.
Gu Mingtang knocked on the door.
No one cares.
She knocked on the door again and whispered word by word, "Mr. Mu, I want to exchange news with you that you have always wanted to know."
The courtyard is still quiet, but this quietness is different from the previous one.
Gu Mingtang waited patiently.
She believed that Mr. Mu would open the door.
After a while, the door was opened from the inside.
A thin old man with white hair stood at the gate with a cane.
When he saw it was Gu Mingtang, he was stunned for a moment. Apparently he didn't expect that the person looking for him would be a young lesbian.
Gu Mingtang was not polite, walked in directly, and then closed the door behind his back.
The yard is not big and the surrounding walls are very high. Although it looks dilapidated, it is kept very clean.
Apparently someone was taking care of him here.
Mr. Mu was only surprised for a moment before he regained his composure. He sat on the wicker chair and picked up the bamboo pole. When he saw a bird falling, he waved it away to drive the bird away.
He didn't even look at Gu Mingtang or ask her what she was doing.
Gu Mingtang pulled up a chair and sat across from him. This old man, Mu, was over seventy this year. When he was young, he was also a well-known figure in City A. It can be said that there are no secrets or news in the three religions and nine streams that he and his tribe don't know.
This person is also very good at assessing situations, and he is very accurate in judging people and things. He did a lot of things in his early years, and even opened up a secret information channel connecting the north and south of the country.
Don't think he is smooth, but he is actually a romantic person.
His wife and his childhood sweetheart got married and had a very good relationship. They gave birth to a son. When the child was three years old, he was kidnapped at this door.
