How to Thrive in the ’60s

Gu Shinian had heard that Widow Wang seldom went to work. At the end of the year, not only did she not earn enough food rations, but she always owed money to the village. Therefore, it was impossible for Widow Wang to earn the money herself.

But Widow Wang was an ordinary village woman with some good looks. She was illiterate and seldom left Xinglin Village. It was quite unexpected that she could hook up with Datou Sun, who was working in the town. Gu Shinian couldn't think of anyone who could be more generous than Datou Sun in her concubine. Years to save such a large sum of money.

Yun Chang didn't know that Gu Shinian had thought of so many things in an instant, so he held his chin and asked a silly question:

"Second brother Gu, do you think Yun Dachuan earned the money back then?"

"No." Gu Shinian shook his head in denial, "Before Yun Dachuan's accident, the old Yun family hadn't split up, his family's money should be in the hands of Mrs. Yun, and Yun Dachuan couldn't hide the money from his private house.

After Yun Dachuan's accident, the old Yun family paid Widow Wang to build this house, which was considered a condition for breaking away from the Yun family. It is not a family split, and naturally there will be no split money. This money can only be saved by Widow Wang in the past four years. "

Yun Chang frowned tightly, thinking about it for a long time, and said:

"I can't remember what happened in the first two years, but I only know that Widow Wang has had three fixed relationships in the past two years. One is Sun Datou, who is from Qingpu Village in the back. She works in the town's supply and marketing cooperative. It is Li Ermazi from Dongshan Village, whose real name seems to be Li Erma. He looks pretty good. Like Widow Wang, he seldom goes to work. He is a famous blind liuzi in Dongshan Village. It’s not bad, this person… is the uncle of Widow Wang’s first marriage-in-law’s family, and he is also an ordinary villager…”

The more Yun Chang said, the more he felt that something was wrong. These three people, Li Ermazi and Li Xiangqian, were ordinary villagers with a clean face than their pockets. Although Sun Datou was the director of the supply and marketing cooperative, his job depended on the power of his father-in-law's family. , I really don't have the guts to hide private money.

All he could give to Widow Wang was the leftover scraps and scraps sold by the supply and marketing cooperative, or a few pieces of crushed chicken cake, and occasionally a few bills. As for money, that was really nothing.

In this way, the source of Widow Wang's huge sum is really unknown.

"Ah Chang, think about it again, apart from these three people, has anyone else found Widow Wang in private?"

After confirming that the source of the money was unknown, Gu Shinian was even more worried. Who would give such a large sum of money to Widow Wang for no reason?

The widow Wang received the money. What did you do for the other party?

Is there anything that can threaten Yunshang's handle falling outside?

Yun Chang rummaged through her memory, but couldn't find out who Widow Wang had been in contact with. She wrinkled her nose and shook her head with a depressed expression, "Second Brother Gu, I really can't remember."

"If you can't remember, don't think about it. Take all the money. If someone asks you later, you can say that all the money in the family goes to Widow Wang's doctor."

Yunshang nodded, took out the money ticket on Sun Datou and put it in the wooden box, and put it into the space together.

The sky was slightly bright, Gu Shi lifted the curtains and glanced at the sky outside. Seeing that the sky was just white in the east, he suppressed the thought of taking Sun Datou to the firewood room for questioning, and pressed Yunshang, ready to rest a few more. Hour.

Worried that Yun Chang was still holding her breath, Gu Shinian did not draw the curtain between the two of them this time, lying on his side in the bed, watching Yun Chang fall asleep before closing his eyes.

...

The old man Yun was thinking of going to Qiancun to see Yun Chang and Gu Shinian, when he just walked out of the door, he saw the two walking over together.

"Grandpa! I'm coming to see you again!" As soon as Yun Chang looked up, he saw Mr. Yun, running from a distance, his mouth as sweet as ever.

"Hey, Changnan, walk slowly, don't fall!"

Yun Chang was still wearing that bulging pink padded jacket, which ran like a rolling meat dumpling. Seeing that Mr. Yun stretched out his arms unconsciously,

I was really worried that she would fall top-heavy.

Yun Chang ran over and grabbed the front of Mr. Yun's shirt, and said with a smile, "Grandpa, second brother Gu and I are looking for you to discuss important matters."

"What's the big deal?" Mr. Yun asked with a smile.

"Wait a minute to go in and let Second Brother Gu speak."

At this time, Gu Shinian also came over, first smiled and said hello to Mr. Yun, and then accompanied Mr. Yun back to the main room with Yun Chang.

Yun Erchuan and his wife, and Yun Shuilian went to the village to repair the canal early in the morning. There were only the old couple at home, and there was Shuan Zi, who was sleeping soundly on the kang.

The old lady was taking the soles of her shoes at the moment, and when she saw the two entering the door, she hurriedly put down the soles of her shoes, and pulled Yunshang onto the kang with a smile.

"My Sang-nan is here! Your grandfather also said that he would go to Qiancun to see you and Comrade Gu Xiao, and he brought my Sang-nan back just after going out."

"Grandma, Gu Erge and I met my grandfather at the door."

As soon as Yunshang got on the kang, he went to the sole of the shoe with a clear goal. He picked up the Melaleuca sole, which was not the size of an adult's palm, and turned it over and over. He also curiously touched the size of the smooth millet grain, evenly distributed white cotton thread. The face said with admiration:

"Honey, is this the bottom of a cotton shoe? It's so beautiful! The little bumps look like a ruler. Are they for emboli?"

Being praised by her granddaughter for her good work, the old lady smiled happily, took the sole of the shoe, pulled Yunshang's foot, and compared the size on the sole of her foot:

"The sole of this shoe is made for my dress, and I can wear it in two days."

"Really? For me?"

Yun Chang was very pleasantly surprised. The original owner wore a pair of single shoes when he was so old, but he really didn't wear padded cotton shoes with a layered bottom.

Yunshang and the old lady were talking lively, and Gu Shinian also talked to Mr. Yun about taking Yunshang and Widow Wang to see a doctor in the provincial capital.

"Grandpa Yun, Ah Chang and I are both children. We may have to trouble Second Uncle Yun to accompany us to the provincial capital."

Mr. Yun lit up the dry tobacco pouch, and after a few puffs, he persuaded:

"Wa'er, I know you have good intentions, but the doctors in the county say that this disease can't be cured. If we spend the unjust money, we might as well keep it for Sang Nan."

"Grandpa Yun, it won't cost you a few dollars. You don't need to go to the hospital. You can just let the doctor see if it can be cured at home. If it can be cured, we will buy medicine. If we can't, we will come back, and we will spend money on traveling."

As soon as Gu Shinian finished speaking, Yun Chang said, "Master, my mother has money, so let's spend my mother's money to see her doctor! When it's good, I won't have to serve the crazy mother for the rest of my life."

Mr. Yun paused while holding Han Yan's hand, and looked back at the old lady, as if asking for her opinion.

The old lady looked at Yunshang, then at Gu Shinian, and finally nodded with a sigh, "Then let's go and have a look, whether we can be optimistic or not, we will do our best, and we will not lose our hearts even if we meet Dachuan in the future."
