How to Thrive in the ’60s

Yun Chang wandered around the yard, feeling very satisfied.

Although the house is not big, the three rooms are enough for Gu Shinian to live alone, and the brick and tile house is easy to tidy up. With a little tidying up, he can live comfortably.

Yun Shang was very generous and gave Bai Yancheng a smiling face, feeling that although Bai Yancheng's work efficiency was a bit low, I'm sorry for his reputation as the commander of the military region, but in general, the work was done beautifully.

At least he didn't find a mud house to fool Gu Shinian.

When she got home, the first thing Yunshang did was to call Yun Shuilian. First she told about her trip to the capital, and then asked everyone in Lao Yun’s family how they were doing recently. Most importantly, she asked about Yun Shuilian’s study situation, and finally hung up the phone Only then did Yun Shuilian notify Gu Shinian to call her in the afternoon.

During the week in the capital, Yunshang hadn't contacted Gu Shinian, and finally returned to the provincial capital, so naturally she had to contact Gu Shinian as soon as possible.

In order not to be burdened by her when he was young, he would have fun alone and forget about her sister.

……………………………………………

Hearing that Yunshang had returned to the provincial capital, Gu Shinian didn't even have time to eat lunch, so he told Yun Shuilian, grabbed a bun from the table and ran to the post office.

As soon as the phone was connected, before Gu Shinian could speak, Yunshang's crisp voice came over first, "Second Brother Gu! I'm back!"

Immediately afterwards, he said excitedly, "Second Brother Gu, I bought you a suite in the provincial capital! It's right next to the compound of the military area, so it's very close if I walk there..."

"A Chang? You went out to buy a house?" Gu Shinian interrupted Yun Shang's words, his voice became cold.

The little girl is doing big things quietly again?

Did she go out to buy the house by herself, or did she let the Bai family come forward to buy it?

Yun Chang scratched her head in embarrassment, glanced quietly at Bai Yancheng who had her ears up, and raised her voice deliberately, "Second brother Gu, I didn't buy the house, but my father Bai bought it for you. Brick and tile house with a small courtyard, it’s very comfortable.”

Bai Yancheng turned his head in satisfaction, the corners of his mouth curled up.

It's just that Gu Shinian on the other end of the phone turned dark, clenched his fingers tightly, and said, suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, "A Chang, ask Uncle Bai how much the courtyard cost, and I will pay it back when I get to the provincial capital." Give it to Uncle Bai."

"Ah?" Yun Shang was stunned, and subconsciously asked, "Second Brother Gu, are you unhappy? Why?"

From Yun Shang's point of view, Gu Shinian has done so many things for her, raising her from a skinny monkey-like little Douding to a fat, clever and cute girl. In the end, the Bai family didn't do anything, just picked a cute one for nothing. My big baby, what's wrong with wanting a small courtyard in the Bai family?

Could it be that such a big living person is not worth a small courtyard?

She also felt that the yard that the Bai family bought for Gu Shinian was too small!

Besides, this small courtyard is the house returned to Gu Shinian by the Bai family to replace her beautiful single room in Fenyang, so why can't it be accepted?

Gu Shinian took a deep breath, suppressed the churning emotions in his heart, and forced himself to calm down.

He really wanted to tell Yun Shang that this was not about a small courtyard, but that the Bai family was repaying his debt of favor.

The twists and turns, the human relationship behind it, and the game of people's hearts, Yun Chang couldn't think of it, it doesn't mean Gu Shinian couldn't think of it.

No matter what reason or purpose the Bai family bought him a small courtyard, in Gu Shinian's view, there must be an element of returning favors.

In the eyes of outsiders who don't know the truth, when he accepted the small courtyard, his kindness to Yunshang and everything he had done for Yunshang were cancelled.

The Bai family and Yunshang never owed him any favors again.

Yun Shang will only be Xiaoqi of the Bai family in the future, and has nothing to do with him.

Even if he went to the provincial capital and wanted to protect Yunshang nearby, the Bai family could cut off the connection between him and Yunshang at any time, and he still couldn't say no.

After all, the Bai family didn't owe him anything, emotionally or morally. Even the favor he helped Yunshang through the crisis, the Bai family repaid him with a small courtyard in the provincial capital.

Gu Shinian didn't know what other people would choose from his standpoint, but to Gu Shinian, he never thought of throwing Yunshang to the Bai family like throwing a burden, and never intervening in her life ever since.

Yun Shang is his younger sister, the only relative in his two lifetimes.

If it wasn't for helplessness, it would be impossible for him to entrust his only relative to others.

Letting Yunshang return to the Bai family was already the biggest concession Gu Shinian made. How could he comply with the wishes of the Bai family and use material conditions to cut off the relationship between him and Yunshang?

Even if the Bai family doesn't have the idea of ​​returning favors.

It doesn't matter if he is despicable or gloomy, for Yunshang, he wished that the Bai family owed others more debts, the more the better, so that the Bai family could not stop him from approaching Yunshang.

Gu Shinian took a deep breath, and said in a low voice, "A-Shang, I'll accept this small courtyard, and I won't be able to stand upright in front of the Bai family in the future." Apart from you, there is nothing worth living in this world. I bend my spine.

On the phone, it was inconvenient for Gu Shinian to analyze the twists and turns behind this with Yun Shang, so he could only express his feelings in the most straightforward way.

Fortunately, Yunshang was considerate enough, held the phone and thought about it carefully, and soon realized that Gu Shinian was unwilling to accept the gift from the Bai family.

Turning his head to take a peek at Bai Yancheng, seeing that he didn't pay attention, he lowered his voice and whispered, "Second brother Gu, I was wrong this time, when you come to the provincial capital, we will refund the money for buying the house Give it to Lao Bai."

Gu Shinian was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized that the 'Lao Bai' that Yun Shang said was Bai Yancheng. He was speechless for a while, then changed the subject:

"A Chang, I contacted the third grandfather a few days ago... He gave me a few phone numbers, and after a while, the second brother will take you to the northeast."

"I didn't see the third grandpa when I went to the capital," Yunshang wrinkled her little nose in dissatisfaction, "Grandpa Gu's house and my grandpa Bai's house live in a big courtyard, I went to grandpa Gu's house, but I didn't see the third grandpa."

Thinking that she missed a red envelope, Yun Shang still feels distressed.

The third grandpa is really stingy!

When I was in Shenshi, I only gave Gu Erge a big red envelope, without her share, so when I went back to the capital, I simply used the excuse of a business trip and avoided seeing her.

It was too much.

How can there be elders who hide from others in order not to give red envelopes?

The next time I catch Third Grandpa, I will push him to the ground and grab the red envelope!

Yun Shang was full of resentment, and Gu Shinian could feel it through the phone line, and reminded Yun Shang with a restrained smile, "A Chang, the third grandpa really hasn't been in the capital recently, and he didn't hide from you on purpose."

When Yun Shang heard this, her stomach full of resentment deflated like a punctured balloon.
