Chapter 16

“Dad, Mom, keep these things for yourselves. Don’t be reluctant to give them up. A roll of toilet paper only costs a few cents. Why can’t you use them?”

Gu Qijiao looked at the things her mother had placed on the table, and her heart felt warm.

Although they are not valuable things, they are the love of her parents for her.

Just living a new life, Gu Qijiao didn’t want her parents to live the simple and hard life like in their previous life.

In her previous life, Gu Qijiao had no choice. Although she worked at a university at that time, her salary was not much. After bringing her parents to the city, she still lived a tight life.

In addition, Gu Dagan had to take medicine for a long time, which also cost a lot of money, so Gu Qijiao did not provide her parents with a relatively good material life.

This was also one of the reasons why Gu Qijiao later agreed to send the old couple back to the countryside. The expenses they needed in the countryside were indeed smaller.

Gu Qijiao thought that if she frequently sent food and clothes home, perhaps it would make life a little easier for her and her parents.

Unexpectedly, the day she sent her parents back to the countryside would become the day she said goodbye to her parents in her previous life.

But these are all experiences from previous lives.

If she had the chance to do it all over again, Gu Qijiao would certainly not let the same mistakes happen again. She would definitely try her best to let her parents live a good life with her.

In her previous life, she really didn’t have any great abilities. Although she became a teacher, which seemed to be a counterattack in her life, she was actually just a poor teacher.

As a teacher, your salary is based on years of service. The longer you work, the higher your salary.

Gu Qijiao was still young at that time, and she had no background and was not eligible for professional title evaluation, so naturally she could not get a high monthly salary, and her pocket was always tight.

Things are different now. She will never choose to be a teacher again in this life.

With the experience of living once in her previous life, Gu Qijiao firmly believed that she could seize the opportunity and earn more money than being a teacher.

Of course, she can only do these things after the educated youth return to their hometowns and the people have freedom to trade.

It’s not possible now. Although Gu Qijiao can think of many ways to make money now, those methods are not in line with the discipline.

In the words of the brigade, those ways of making money are called speculation, and it is very dangerous to be caught.

Fortunately, after waiting for more than a year, the collective life will be over.

There is no need to take risks at this time and do something that will cause you to be criticized.

Just wait patiently, good days will come.

Gu Qijiao is full of confidence about her future life.

Because of this, she hoped that her parents could be nicer to themselves, and not be so stingy and want to leave all the good things for her.

But Gu Dagan was used to being rude, so he rejected Gu Qijiao with a wave of his hand:

“I’m not used to toilet paper, because it breaks when I wipe my butt. Corn leaves are more comfortable, and I’m used to them.

And that soap, my hands are full of cracks from ice, and it hurts so much to wash my hands with it.

We are rough people who are not used to those precious things, so you can keep them for yourself!”

“Yeah, I’m just like your father, I don’t like to use those, you can keep them, Jiaojiao, it’s almost time to go to work, we’ll leave first.”

Harvesting wheat in the summer is the busiest time of the year. After lunch, we have to go to the fields to work and there is no time to rest.

The old couple hurried home to eat at noon and then came to Gu Qijiao. After putting down their things, they had to hurry to the fields.

Gu Qijiao did not argue with her parents, because changing their consumption concept would take time.

When you make money in the future, you will still worry about not being able to spend it on them.

Life was difficult at the moment, and Gu Qijiao didn’t have the confidence to persuade them, so she could only get up and send her parents out the door.

When they reached the door, Gu Dagan turned around and called out to Zheng Yunsheng:

“Yunsheng, why don’t you come with us? We can chat along the way. You and my daughter are married, and I haven’t had a good talk with you yet!”

The work of the team is divided into areas.

Zheng Yunsheng’s workplace was not close to his father-in-law’s. He knew that Gu Dagan must have something to tell him when he called him, so he immediately responded and followed him.

As he walked towards the door, Zheng Yunsheng said hello to Gu Qijiao:

“Jiaojiao, I’m leaving with my parents. You should take a good rest at home!”

Gu Qijiao looked at Zheng Yunsheng and nodded imperceptibly.

She stood at the door, watching Zheng Yunsheng, Gu Dagan and Xie Jinxiang slowly walk away.

Gu Qijiao didn’t return to the yard until their backs completely disappeared.

The sun was shining brightly, and she touched the sheet on the rope and found it was dry, so she took the rope off, took it into the house and spread it on the bed again.

Looking at the only bed in the room, Gu Qijiao couldn’t help but sigh.

She had already agreed with Zheng Yunsheng that the couple could not do that kind of thing in bed until she was adjusted.

It would be too much if she didn’t sleep in the same bed with Zheng Yunsheng.

Forget it, let’s wait and see.

Thinking of this, Gu Qijiao fetched another basin of water and began to tidy up the room, cleaning all the cabinets and tables in the room with rags.

When she wiped the desk, Gu Qijiao was stunned for a moment.

She suddenly remembered the book with Bai Xiaoou’s photo between it that she found on the desk in her previous life.

If she could find the photo in this life and go to the commune to make a scene sooner, wouldn’t her relationship with Zheng Yunsheng reach a freezing point sooner?

When the time comes, I can divorce Zheng Yunsheng as normal, and I don’t think the villagers will say anything too harsh.

Gu Qijiao had to put the blame for the divorce on Zheng Yunsheng.

It’s not that Gu Qijiao is selfish. This village is where she was born and raised and she will be connected to it for her whole life. She doesn’t want to make her reputation worse here.

Zheng Yunsheng is different. Within a year, he will leave the village because of the educated youth returning to the city. Even if he has problems with his behavior here, no one will hold him accountable.

Thinking of this, Gu Qijiao put down the rag in her hand and began to flip through the books that Zheng Yunsheng had placed on the desk.

Because it was a long time ago, Gu Qijiao couldn’t remember which book she saw Bai Xiaoou’s photo in, so she could only flip through them one by one.

But she shook all the books and couldn’t find the book.

“Could it be that Bai Xiaoou gave this book to Zheng Yunsheng after he got married?” Gu Qijiao muttered to herself, and then she said:

“If it was given to her after we got married, and there was a photo inside the book, then she really deserved to have her face scratched by me in her previous life.”

Unable to find the photo, Gu Qijiao had to give up for the time being. The photo would always appear in the future, so she could only wait and see.

If she were to live her life over again, Gu Qijiao would never make the same mistakes she had made in the past again.

However, as for the matter of smashing Bai Xiaoou’s face, Gu Qijiao still planned to do it step by step. She would certainly not let go of the opportunity to slap that woman openly.

It’s useless if you don’t fight. It’s useless if you fight.

Even if he was beaten hard, Bai Xiaoou would not dare to make a big deal out of it.

Her photo was in the married man’s book. If the matter got out of hand and she had conduct problems, she would not be able to get a good job when she returned to the city.

At this time, people take the issue of work style particularly seriously.

Gu Qijiao secretly thought that in this life, after getting the photos, she would make things even uglier than in the previous life.

It would be best if Zheng Yunsheng could become extremely disgusted with her and directly file for divorce with her.

Gu Qijiao’s face lit up with joy at the thought of being able to say goodbye to Zheng Yunsheng smoothly.

What is a man?
