How to Thrive in the ’60s

Knowing that there is a black market near the train station, the two do not plan to change their place of residence. Back in the room, after taking a hot shower in the water room, I took an early rest.

On the other side of Linyang City, in the military compound, Zhou Mingjuan coaxed Gu Mingzhu to sleep with a pair of new leather shoes, and pushed open the door of the master bedroom with a cup of hot water.

Gu Huaiqing was leaning against the bedside and reading the newspaper, took the hot water from Zhou Mingjuan, took a few sips, and asked, "Mingzhu asleep?"

Zhou Mingjuan took the empty water glass from Gu Huaiqing's hand, put it on the table, and sat down beside Gu Huaiqing again, seeming to be aggrieved and complaining like a spoiled child:

"Well. It's not that you don't know how difficult it is for Mingzhu to be troubled. I was so entangled that I promised to buy her new leather shoes this weekend."

"Bought new leather shoes again? Didn't I just buy her a pair last month?" Gu Huaiqing put down the newspaper, frowning tightly, "Will Mingzhu dress a bit too out of character? Even better than Commander Bai's daughter. Punch your eyes, you have to pay attention later."

Zhou Mingjuan's drooping eyes flashed annoyance, but her mouth softened and said:

"Brother Qing, Mingzhu's clothes are not too eye-catching. It's still December, and Mingzhu is still wearing single leather shoes. We can't just let the child freeze for the sake of reputation, right? Besides, we are both paid. There is only one child in the family, Mingzhu, and it is reasonable to be more particular about what to wear."

Seeing that Gu Huaiqing's brows loosened, Zhou Mingjuan continued:

"You men just don't know how to dress up. We have a lot of clothes in Mingzhu that I made with defective fabrics. It only costs a few dollars a piece of fabric, and I can make a few new clothes. People in these courtyards know that, What an eye-catching.

To say the real punching, it is the three children of the Bai Commander's family. The eldest of the Bai Commander's family is only sixteen this year. He has just entered high school, and he has a watch on his hand. It is an imported product, and it costs three or four hundred yuan! The daughter of Commander Bai is as big as our Pearl, and all the clothes on her body are sent from the capital. They are made of the latest fabrics, which are not even sold in our Linyang Department Store.

One piece of clothing can top ten of our pearls. Tell me, who is this eye-catching? "

Zhou Mingjuan's facial features are good, the person is fair, and with proper maintenance, in her early thirties, she is still slender, and there is not a single wrinkle at the corner of her eyes.

She lowered her head and looked at Gu Huaiqing as she spoke, with a look of resentment and resentment on her face, and her eyes were sparkling. She had both the coquettish charm of a mature woman, and the sweetness and weakness of a young girl.

He stretched his arms around Zhou Mingjuan's waist and coaxed her in a low voice: "Mingjuan, I don't understand any of this, but I said something wrong. Well, I'll accompany you to the department store this weekend, buy shoes for Mingzhu, and then Buy you new clothes, okay?"

Zhou Mingjuan hesitated for a moment, then frowned and shook her head and refused, "Forget it, in the future there will be more places to spend money at home, so it's better to save a little."

"What's the matter? If you spend more money at home, can you use it less?"

"Oh..." Zhou Mingjuan sighed and leaned against Gu Huaiqing's arms, "If there is only one child in the family, Mingzhu, of course, there is no shortage of money, but...Brother Qing, no matter which child we bring back in the future, we will have dinner. , Dressing, going to school, and going out to socialize, I have to take care of my children in advance, at least the treatment can't be worse than Pearl, otherwise my stepmother is not doing well.

If the family doesn't take advantage of the money and treats the children lightly, it will spread not only that my face is not good-looking, but even you will have to lose face.

Our family is so little, let's use it on our children. "

What Zhou Mingjuan said was a sincere and profound sense of righteousness. Gu Huaiqing felt very distressed when he heard it, and immediately hugged Zhou Mingjuan tightly and said confidently:

"What are you afraid of, you man, I can't support you or what? You can buy whatever you like in the future, you don't have to save it for me! Besides, even if you have more mouths at home, you don't have to be so particular about eating and dressing.

Boys, just have food and clothing, don't take it too seriously, get used to him! "

Gu Huaiqing said that, but he did not give up the plan to bring a son back, and Zhou Mingjuan became more and more irritable.

Turning over and sitting up from the bed, his eyes were filled with water mist, and he looked at Gu Huaiqing aggrievedly and said, "Brother Qing, I don't know what to do, I'm very worried."

"What are you worried about?" Gu Huaiqing frowned and asked, "Mingjuan, I promised you that you would only bring one son back, but you still disagree?"

"No..." Zhou Mingjuan shook her head and stroked her lower abdomen, "How could I disagree? I have been married to the Gu family for so many years, and I have never given birth to a son for you. I will be happy for you, how can I stop it."

"I'm just worried... Those two children grew up with the eldest sister, will they have any resentment against us? Even if they are brought back, will they still think about the eldest sister? If the children are successful in the future, will they only Recognize eldest sister, do not recognize our family?"

I have to say that Zhou Mingjuan really pinched Gu Huaiqing's lifeline with every word.

Especially the last sentence, she, Gu Huaiqing, and Gu Mingzhu were counted as a family, and Gu Guangzong or Gu Shinian, who were about to be brought back, were excluded from the family by her.

Gu Huaiqing didn't hear a sentence with such an obvious provocative meaning, or maybe he heard it, but deliberately ignored it.

At this time, he still guaranteed the ticket with Zhou Mingjuan:

"Don't worry, I know these things. As long as his surname is Gu, as long as I'm still here, he won't dare to disrespect you."

What if you're gone?

Zhou Mingjuan thought these words over and over again, but she didn't dare to ask, after all, she sighed and leaned against Gu Huaiqing's chest again:

"And the child Mingzhu, I just tried one sentence today, and she cried and said that she didn't want her brother, and she didn't even eat dinner. If you really bring it back, the two children will not be able to fight together? You If you have time, persuade your daughter well, I can't persuade."

"It's still a child, the more you get along with it, the more feelings you will have. After the year, I will find time to pick up the two children. You and Mingzhu will choose the one that is pleasing to the eye and stay..."

Gu Huaiqing said vaguely, and his hands kept pressing Zhou Mingjuan to lie down...

The next morning, Yun Chang and Gu Shinian had an early breakfast, put everything in the space and went downstairs.

The waiter with big braids was still sitting behind the counter, Yun Chang ran over with her short legs to say hello, and let the waiter rub her face for a while before leaving the guest house.

Half an hour later, the two got off the tram at the entrance of the hospital. Before they could stand firm, two loud rumblings came from the sky, making people's ears numb, and the ground under their feet shook slightly.
