 Chapter 29

  However, it is difficult to rent a house now. If you want to rent a house, you have to find some connections. It is not as convenient as in later generations. Fortunately, Xu Jingqiu had made all preparations, and they found a suitable house in the commune that day.

  There was no real estate speculation in this era, and there were special regulations on rents, so rents were generally very cheap. However, cheap rent does not mean that you can live a good life in the commune. It is actually very difficult for rural people to live in a commune without any real materials.

  Xu Jingqiu dared to move to the commune with her three children, not only because she had recently saved a lot of money, but also because she found a job in the commune. She had been eyeing this job from a long time ago, and the job location was right over their farm in Sanhe Commune.

  Most of the vegetables and fruits grown on their farm are supplied to commune grain stores or the county. The work there is similar to working in the countryside, but it requires some professional skills. Xu Jingqiu was chosen not because of her expertise, but because she has the plant power and can grow anything very well.

  When she was still in the Jiang family, she managed her own plot, and the things she grew were better than those grown by others. The farm plans to let her help for a period of time. If it is as good as she said, she can directly become a full-time worker.

  Of course, the farm's willingness to give her such an opportunity was not solely based on her ability to farm. After all, there are few talents of any kind in the countryside, but there is no shortage of people who can farm.

  Xu Jingqiu got this opportunity mainly because someone recommended her. The person who recommended her was a middle-aged woman, and Xu Jingqiu had helped her once before. The other party worked at the Sanhe Commune Farm. After hearing that Xu Jingqiu wanted to join the farm, she enthusiastically introduced Xu Jingqiu to him. It just so happened that Xu Jingqiu was indeed somewhat capable and had a hard-working character, so the farm was willing to give her a chance.

  After they were separated from the Jiang family, they did not ask for the broken pots and bowls at home, but only took the clothes and bedding that belonged to them. Houses, food, and other things were all exchanged for cash. So when they left, they didn't have many things. Gu Zhenguo used his motorcycle to haul them all in one trip.

  Originally, he heard that his family was going to live in the town, and Gu Zhenguo was worried about their future life. Later, when moving, he heard Xu Jingqiu say that she had found a job in the commune, and Gu Zhenguo felt a little relieved.

  He didn't stay with the three of them for too long. After all, Xu Jingqiu and the others had moved out now, and it was hard for him as a man to get too close to them. So after he helped pull the things to the commune, he took Si Bao and two others back to the militia company.

  Gu Zhenguo planned to go back and talk to his parents about the situation first, so as not to make the sensitive Sibao feel uneasy if his parents said something they shouldn't have said.

  The Gu family only has three children in total, which is very rare these days. It wasn't that Gu Zhenguo's parents didn't want to have a baby, but that they were injured when they gave birth to Gu Hongxiu, so they never had children for many years.

  It is precisely because of this that when Gu Hongxiu was young at home, her parents did not treat her well. I always felt that it was just because of her that the Gu family was so thin.

  In addition, when Gu Zhenguo went to serve as a soldier, they were very afraid that something would happen to him, and their family would be destitute by then. Therefore, the old couple always had some complaints about Gu Hongxiu in front of them.

  Gu Hongxiu endured it silently until her younger brother Gu Zhenxing was born and her eldest brother returned from the army. She didn't hesitate to find a man and married him far away in S city.

  She never contacted her family again after that. If Song Hanqing hadn't been born later, and the man wasn't as good as she thought, she probably wouldn't have even told her family about the child.

  Gu Zhenguo was afraid that his parents would be confused again, so he planned to go back alone first, and then he would take the four treasures home after everything was explained clearly.

  When Gu Zhenguo came back on his motorcycle, his parents hurried out. Then I found that he came back alone, and I couldn't help but ask him where the child had gone.

  After hearing this, Gu Zhenguo parked his motorcycle and then replied to the two elders: "In the company."

  Gu's mother immediately said dissatisfied: "Why did you leave the person there? Bring the person back quickly."

  Gu's father also said He echoed: "Yes, bring it back quickly. Your sister is just a child, what's the point of letting him live in the militia company?" The

  two of them saw Gu Zhenguo standing still, taking out a cigarette and looking like he wanted to smoke. Gu's mother couldn't bear it anymore and hurriedly stepped forward and snatched the cigarette from his hand.

  "What are you doing? What time is it? Go and pick up the child."

  In the end, Gu Zhenguo did not go to pick him up immediately, but took his parents back to discuss it for a long time. Because Song Hanqing was not here to visit relatives and would live with their family from now on, they had to make this matter clear.

  After hearing everything that happened to Song Hanqing, the two old men couldn't help but their eyes turned red with anger. Although they did not treat Gu Hongxiu well in the early years, they later thought about it after Gu Hongxiu married far away.
